It neednot be added ihat the visllors received everyattention from Dr. Conradand his assistants.

The suic-sslui introduction of Ihe electrictight in Staunton has slarltd our neighbors ofLexington to thinkingof putting down a planthere. To this end, Mr. E A. Quesenberry, orhe Town Council, made a visit here last week

The I o d st-nt the hornet.My friends, when we are assaulted by behe-

\u25a0mces of our life which drive ns out and u*e usup. luto the best conditioned life for some...runil and glorious purpose, God sends theDor net.

I rem irk in ihe first place, lhat. th-cveemailst hi»i ng annoyHticeN inn> omiein Ihe st)ape ofa sensitive nervous organiz-.t nm. People w aare prostrated under typnnld fevets or withbroken bones get plenty of sympathy.but whopities anybody that *s nervous? The doctorsBuy, and the family sa* s, and everyhnd v says,?'fit)! she's oniv \u25a0 little nervous; that's alt."The sound ofa heavy foe*, the harsh dealingol a throat, a di cord in mu-ic. a want of har-mony between theshawl and tbeglove on thesame person, a curt answer, a passing slight,thewind from the east, any one of t»-n thousand annoyances, onens t c door tor the hor-net. The fact is. that the vast majority of thepeople in this co nt-y are overworked, andtheir nerves are the first to give out A greatmultitude are under thestrain of Ley den,who,when he was told by hi« physician that If hedid not stop working whilehe wa In such poorphysical health he would die, responded.?'Doctor whether I live or die the wheel mustseep goingaround." These persons ol whomI speak have a bleeding senciMvem ss Theflies love lo light on anything raw, and t.he*epeople are like the Qao&aaitefl spoken of inthe text or In the context-they bave a verythin covering and are vulnerableatait points.And the Lord sent, the hornet.

[For the Spectator.]We are always on the alsrt for s.ime-

thiii); new, novel, and beneficial. Anvingthe many contrivances brought forth forpleasurable p .Rtimes, as well as for realbusiness and cr _f»rt, of the present time,there seems to b« an impulsive desire forsomething that involves novelty, pleasure,and business worth. When we can blendall these together, we on 'henb.gin to en-joy lifea* it should be and not have it hangas a burden on oar slwulriers and exclaim,

?'?I would not live always." Amou_r theadvancements or mec'irtnicil skill "f lit' 4years i« a m .chine called the Tricycle.

It bas many desirableI'tritur'S not attainable in a bicycle Wewant a machine which any parson caumoun . and go his wly without giving: ayear's pract.icn in learning to ride it. Iotbe modrrii bicycle, if we make baate hasti-ly to master them, we find onrselves onsomething like a "trick mule," and eventu»l.y give it up for a b id job, and leave thefield b<dly mixed up with two or three legsknockedl exard, i ran ar \u25a0 stove diagonallythrough the rroiy, or th" up rx oft c herdjellied by a -be-ider," all of wbiub cm besecured iv a very few minutes, and withnutcost, in these "trick" machines?and 1presume without much profit. What theaverage American now seeks for U certain-ly a more safe machine. A three-wheeledconcern instead of tiie apparently intoxicat-ed wabbler that cannot stand upright with-out other suppirt. It will do very well aslong as you keep him on the run, but letbim check up and be will show you a tricknot agreeable by any means to you.

The machine that will fill the bill, forevery emergency and for all classes, is tbeTricycle, beyond a doubt, and is daily be-coming more highly end >rsed by publicfavor, as much, or more so,
