Charlottesville, Sept. 25. — Before
ltsving Lyucblmrg Hayes addressed his
esoort and assembled fellow-oitizens. He
bad expeoted a hearty greeting, bnt the
popular demonstration has surpassed his
expectations.
AT CHARLOTTESVILLE.
The reception hore was fine. The
speeohes were oharaoterized by some im
provement in rhetoric, and no deteriora
tion in patriotism of length. It iB no-
tioeable in reports of these speeolioB that
accompanying journalists show signs of
wearineBB by their omission of brackets,
enotosing cheers, laughter and applause.
MB. EVABTC
was introduced, who, alluding to Char
lottesville as the home of Jefforson, said
there wkb no spot in Virginia more at
tractive to the people of the United States
than that oity. Whatever places the citizens
of the country may have assigned to the
great men of their States, it oannot be
denied that Thomas Jefferson was onr
great leader ain the Congress of the
wisest and best men of this country. The
lead of the historical roll, to be remem
bered forever and ever, in the Declaration
of Independence that fell to Virginia, is
the person of Thomas Jefferson. He
lives again in the great University of
Virginia.
Hr. Evarts (hen paid a glowing tribnte
to this institution, saying that as Bare as
the principles of Jefferson are
be the leading principles of
the Government, jnst bo Bare mnst the
University ever be one of the great insti
tutions of the country. He next referred
to the President end the principles ho
bad laid ont for the government of the
country, and spoke of the endorsement
they bad received form ell sections. He
had been invited to visit all seotions, for
the people wanted to see the faoe of the
man who had given new proBpeots, new
hopes and joy to the land. All this was
M pleasant to the President as it was to
the people, for in the responses of snob
crowds as this, he knows whether the
North and South had hopes and desires
alike.
MB. KEY
in response to cells and beingjintrodnoed,
said: I am highly gratified at the oall
upon me. Nothing I could say would be
of particular servioe to you. All I could
say would be to oheor yon on. The
times are improving and we are all glad.
[Cheers end laughter. ]
THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA AND MONTI
OELLO.
The visitors were then taken in car
riages to the University of Virginia,
where some time was spent in inspecting
the building end enjoying tbe hospitality
of the managers of the institution. They
were next driven to Monticello, the for- Exchange,
met home of Jefferson, aftor which they
returned to the oity and took dinner at
tbe Parish House. The party left at 4 p.
M., en route for Washington.

Driving toward the Cary neighborhood
the other day, a stranger from Virginia,
who was hunting up some acquaintances,
met a woman on the highway. She
loomed up like a giantess, was bare-foot
ed, hadn’t any bustle, ami her long arms
kept measured time with her steps. She
walked in the centre of the road, and as
the vehicle approached she sung out
Shy out of the road, thar, or I’ll run
your boss down.’
The gentlemq^ pulled up, and tho wo
man halted at the horse’s head, and con
tinned:
“Mister, you wnnt to shy to the right
when you meet a team in this country ! ”
“Where is the teem ?” he asked.
“Bight here, mister inau! I’m the
tallest grass-widder in old North Caro-
lina, and I take half the road ! Pull tho
horse to the right ! J ’
He hesitated Hbout it, whereupon she
seized tho horse by the bit, jerked him
out of tho road, and gave tbo animal u
rousing kick just back of the fore leg.
“That’s woman’s rights, is it ?” quoriod
the astonished man.
“Them’s my rights, mister, and you
hadn’t better bugle off your mouth over
much ! I’m going into town for some
hair-pins and camphor, and I feel that
there’ll bo a fight on tbo road if any one
tries to run over mo !”
“Do yon know a family named ?”
he began, when she interrupted :
I know lots of families, but I haven’t
time to talk; my name’s -lane, and I’m a
whole family myself. I give half tbe
road, and I don’t take any sass. You’d
better drive on.”
He wantod a word or two more, and
waited.
Catching a hind wheel of tbe buggy she
gave the vobiole an earthquake motion,
let go and spit on her hands, and as tbo
horse shot off she called out after him :
“I'm only a lone grass widow on my way

Hundreds of turfmen assembled in
Fleetwood Park yesterday afternoon to
witness tbe great trot for $2,000, Mr.
Charles Green having offered two weeks
ago to trot, and name at tho post, a homo,
to go as he pleased, against John Hplau’s
famous trotter Barus in harness. Green’s
horse proved to be Great Eastern, undor
saddle. The track was in splendid condi
tion. Among the prominent horsemen
present were : David Bonnor, Chas. Back-
man,Hhepliord F. Knapp,Edward Kearney,
Wm. II. Vanderbilt, Seaman Lotoheu-
stein, Alfred Bichmond, S. Foster Dew
ey, ex Commissioner Kelso, Allen Bonner,
William Griswold, Charles Kimpland and
Ed. Gilmore. Fast time wus anticipated
and realized, Groat Eastern trotting iu
2:16}, the faHtost on record to saddle,
beating May Bird's time by four seconds,
which was the fastest time over trotted
heretofore iu Fleetwood Park. May Bird’s
time to saddle was 2:19j{. The spectators
wore perfectly wild when tbe tiiuo of the
heat was announced. Promptly at two
o’clock the judges rang tho bell. Charles
Green appeared on tbo bay gelding Great
Eastern, and John Splan was behind
Barns. Before starting Barus was tbe
favorite at $100 to $.">0 for Groat Eastorn.
First Heat—There was a good send off
in the first attempt, Barus taking tho
lead. Groat Eastern wont iu the air at
the turn. Barus trotted Hleudily past tho
quarter in ilfi.j seconds, beiug four lengths
in advauce. Splan was ready for desper
ate work, but Great Eastern kept break
ing. Barus past tho hutf mile iu 1:14,
leading threo lengths. Splau made ; no
effort to send Barus along tho reHt of tho
beat and orossod the soore on a jog, tak
ing tbo heat by one length in 2:33.
Second Heat.—Tho betting was the
same. When tho homes got tho word,
Great Eastern had a little tho best of it.
At the turn bo broke. At the quarter, iu
33$ seconds, Barus was leuding by one
length. At tho half mile post, iu 1:07$,
Barus still maintained his lead by three-
quarters of a length. Around tbe lower
turn, "Great Easturu closed the gup ut
ovory stride, and passed Barus while
swinging into tbe liomostretoh. Barus,
by fast trotting, nearly gained I he lead,
but Great Eastern took tho lead, by a
head, in 2:1H.
Third Heat.—The horses wero givon a
long waiting spoil before being brought
out again. At the first attempt they got
under way head and head, both trotting
fast. On tbe turn Groat EaHteru, with
an extraordinary burst of Hpeod, led oue
length at the quarter in 33 seconds.
Going down the baokstretoh both settled
to business, but Barus could not take the
lead. Great Eastern passed the half mile
pole iu 1:05}. On the homestretch there
was an exciting struggle, Hplan with all
tho skill known to the profession,was tirg*
ing on Barus, and Churlio Greeu was
seen lifting and shaking Great Eastern.
Every one Raw that Kurus wus gaining
ground inch by inch, but tbe paoe was too
hot for him. and lie broke. Great East
ern, trotting with wonderful speed, took
the heat from Barus by five lengths in
tho unparalleled time of 2:15}, making
tho fastest mile ever trotted to saddle.
Barus trotted the beat in 2:16}.
Fourth Heat.—Great Eastern was now
tbe favorite. The word wos givon on the
third score, with Great Eastern loading—
au advantage that Churlio Greeu was
bound to turn to good purpose. Great
Eastern passed by the quarter-polo in 32 j
seconds. Barus was u length behind and
breaking. Down tho baokstretoh the
positions were unchanged. Groat East
ern passing the half-mile polo, one length
in front of Barns, in 1:04J, which is tho
fastest half mile ever trotted. On tho
lower turn, before reaohing tho three-
quarter pole, Barus made a double break.
Great Eastesn drew away, and at the head
of the stretch was six lengths in front.
Whan Barns caught his gait, ho gradu
ally gained on Great Eastern, who broke.
Tbe horses wont under tho wire, head
and head, in 2:18}. The Judge decided
it n dead heat.
Fifth Heat.—A great many said that
the result of the heat was a forgone con
clusion, that Barns would win tho trot.
After tbe usual time, tho horses wero
called. On the third attempt the horses
wero started. At tho first quarter the
frionds of Groat Eastern were}sanguinethat
he would w»in, when he shot past in 33
onds. Barus was about a length behind.
These positions wero not varied at the
half, iu 1:06.1. Great Eastern then
broke, and Barus drew away, and took
the beat easily, by throe lengths in 2:21
Sixth Heat:—Groat Eastern looked
tired, and it was almost certain that tho
heat would be taken by lUniH, who at the
word started with a good gait. Barns
took tho load, and moving easily, passod
tho quarter in 30}“seconds, mid was first
at the half on a jog in 1:124. Great Eas
tern was two longths behind. Barus
trotted steadily and won the boat and
raeo by threo lengths in 2:27j.
MAINE’* LHlIIOIt LAW
WORKS.
FILLING THE INSTITUTION TO WHICH 11AN-
GOR HA1»E GRANT WELCOME.
From tho Boston Post.]
Bangor, Me., Bept. 8.—There are bore
employed, by tho county sheriff, deputies
whoso business it is to scent out planus
where liquor is sold. Ohsorvo that those
deputies receivo no salaries! Their sole
reward accrues to them in tho form of
fees, which they gain for fidelity iu their
degrading duty. It must bo speoinlly re
marked that these spies obtain their
fees wheuevor they make a search or seiz
ure, whether tbeso result iu conviction or
not. Thus a strong temptation is offered
thorn to importiueutly thrust their noHus
into everybody’s business. Home of them
recently sooreted themsolvos by uight in a
church steeple, form which aerial height
they watched next day a house iu the
neighborhood. Auothor was roeoutly de
tected sneaking about a Masouic hall.
They havo also disguised themsolvos as
common tramps iu tho pursuit of their
calling.
Those spies are of course indifferent to
the sacrediiCsH of other people’s property,
provided they can but gain their filthy
lucre. Hero is au instance of their rap
acity. Homo time ago the chemicals of a
highly respected photographer iu this
city were seized, and tho cases containing
them rudely broken open. Happily the
contents escaped injury, but ovon if they
had been harmed there would have been
no rodress for him save by an expensive
and tedious resort to law. Iu the instance
he protested, hut the reply was that the
deputies had acted iu the discharge of
their duty. A photographer was as liable
to import liquor ns any oue eluo, and
therefore must bo watched! Tho
deputies pocketed their feu, aud weut on
their way rejoioiug.
According to the statutes of Maine, if
a teamster is found earning a little money
by transporting from one place to another
iu the country or oity oven a demijohn of
liquor, a case of beer, or a barrel of cider
intended for sale, ho is liable to a fine of
$50. It is a oomtuon practice iu Bangor
for meu to sell liquor from flasks which
they carry iu their pockets. It can be
imagined what sort of liquor this must
be.
()u the slope of Hammond street is a
handsome stone edifice,with a bnok front
adorned with granite triuimiugs. O. or
the door of this building, upon tho occa
sion of President Grant’s visit to the city,
was displayed with exquisite tact the word
“Weloome.” It is the j ml. Home of tho
boarders are women, who follow the
spouses thither, inspired with that im
mortal principle. 4 I uevor will des»rt M
Micawber.” Their crime const* ts in hav
ing sold liquor whi o their hu-ibands were
already incarcerated f^r the same • flense.
Thus husbands and wives are lodged once
more together, and fed at the county ex**
penso. Meanwhile, what hocoiues of
their children ? They aro put into the
almshouse, aud nourished at tho city ex
pettse.
Adjoining tho jail is a workshop. It
was erected some threo years ago by tho
county ut an exponso of about $22,000.
Glowing pictures were drawn of tire util
ity of convict labor, and the Prohibition
ists shouted with delight at tho thought
of turning the convicted liquor sellers to
a profitable aoconnt. A skillful mechanic
was placed over the business. He was to
touch the prisoners to make doors, Hashes,
blinds, etc. lie was also to pay tho coun
ty fifty cents por day for each man. So
fair did all things look that tho county
even allowed tho jailor more money for
the board of eaoh prisouor who workod ;
and tho women of the orusude clapped
their hands. Tho experiment has boon
faithfully tried. Look, if you please, at
the result. Tho manager of tbe business
is completely discouraged, lie has him
self loHt over $8,000 in his hopeless at*
tempts to fulfil his contract, without re
ceiving oue cout reward for his throe
years’ services; aud ho has asked to ho
allowed to close his manufactory before
his term expires rather than ho utterly
ruined. Tho explanation which he gives
is a very simple one. Hore are its chief
points : About nine-tenths of the prison
ers are sent to jail either for rum selling
or rum drinking. Tho first aro indignant,
and won’t work ; the second aro poisoned
by tho vile stuff which, thanks to tho Pro
hibitory law, is sold in socrot and disrupt
ntahlo places, and cau’t work.

A letter has just been received by Prof.
Osborn, of Oxford, Ohio, written from
Jerusalem under date of June 15th, giv
ing details of a visit to the tomb of David.
The writer, Dr. De Haas, U. H. Consul,
at that place, says that the visit was
made during the rooent passover. The
nilding is about five hundred feet south
of the Zion gate, itself the most southern
gate of Jerusalem. It has long been
knot'll as tho tomb of l)avid and contains
an uppor chnmhor whore, according to
tradition, tho Lord’s supper was insti
tuted. Tho building has massive founda
tions, aud tho “upper room” is construct
ed with heavy groined arches. Tho
so called tomb in made of marble por
phyry, covorod with a pall of embroider
ed cloth wrtb the Arabic letters in gold.
“O, David, verily thou art a sovereign
prince in all the earth.” Prof. Osborn
says that the tomb was visited by a lady
whom he met iu Jerusalem some years
ago, and with much the same results as
to observations, except that Dr. Do Haas
has d ; scovered a door walled up leading to
the crypt containing tbe tomb. This
walled-up way is supposed to lead to the
actual tombs of the kings, and the so-
called tomb is only a cenotaph. Home
time ago a plan made by a Turkish archi
tect of tho tombs of the Hebrew Mosque
was obtained and published by Professor
Osborn in his geographic notices of the
city, tho accuracy of whioh was testified
to by Dean Stanley in his account of the
visit of the Prince of Wales. Iu this
latter place of the Uebrou tombs is also a
