The youth of the Old Dominion who can sit a sad dle in a fox chase, couch a trne lance in a tournament and take a five rail fence - in a steeple race commands the respect of his fellows and holds a prior lien upon the heart of the fairest girl in his neighborhood. - Nowhere in the sonth today can be seen more splendid exhibitions of the bona fide fox unnt. the old time tourna ment and cross country riding than are given oy the inhabitants of a httle town called Warrentou. in Piedmont.

A HISTORIC fiF.CTiO.V. Uuro it was that Ash by and Mosby were reared and Dad their homes, and the latter made this romantic country of hill and dale, of itrcim nrwl nmi. land, the scene of those daring raids which so crippled the northern forces when operating in that section of the state, and gained for him the sobriquet -of "guerrilla." - The battles of Alauiussati and Bull Run -were fought only twenty miles away, where the. gallant hoy soldier, Qnincy -Alarr. was the first to lose his life on the Confederate mdf. McDowell's splendid army. loo.wxi strong, camped within the limits of the pretty village and were so touched by the nobility of the wouu-n.. whose homes had been appropriated and mi ned into hospitals, that they left its quiet precincts nn narmed and its inhabitants unmolested.

The women of Virginia are 'distin guished for their 'horsemanship, : and many of them ride like centaurs before they get oat of short dresses. In th fall of the year they can bo- seen "riding across the country nnattendedr'and fre quently participate with their husbands, -brothers and beaux ia the excitements of. the chase.

Chicasro Tribune. m?y 1 1 i i AND CZAR. A 8TALWART PRELATE WHO WOULD NOT 08EY HIS MAJESTY. . The Kantian Uishop Ambrolw, of Pens. Gave II l Baler at Terrific Reception ob the Occasion of a Distinguished Visit & Made the Czar Obey. Bishop Ambroise was an arxtraordiaary uan, renowned for the firmness of his character, the depth of his erudition ud the narrowness of his views. The mm of a simple deacon, he owed his ele vation to his oratorical talent, his his torical works, and especially his ascetic virtues. . He lived in his episcopal palace with the austere habits that had en deared him to the people. He dressed like a simple peasant, lived ma cell in his palace, and his principal, diet con sisted of cabbage and radishes. In fact he fared like the poorest moujUch but for all that he had the strength of a giant. His salary of 8,000 or 10,000 roubles he distributed among the poor, giving right and left, and never refusing charity to the hosts of beggars that al ways swarmed around him, In 1831, Alexander I announced that he intended to visit Pensa; bnt if he knew the reception that was in store for him he would have tried some other town. The governor sent the chief of police to the bishop, to request him to clean his palace before the arrival of the czar. - "All right, the bishop said, "1 can get the mud in front of the place cleared away, but where can 1 hide your head and the governor's head? It would be useless to bury them in the ground; the odor of your actions would still perme ate the whole place." Of course the two officials were furious, but there was no help for them: Ambroise was too powerful. When the czar ar rived the governor gave orders to the archbishop to come with all his clergy and receive the emperor' at the front en trance to the cathedral; but that was just what he would not do. ' He massed his clergy with all their banners at a side door on the southern side. To the re monstrances of the governor he replied, "1 am the archbishop, and I alone give orders here." TANKING TUB CZAR UPSTAtES. The civil authorities were crouDed at the front entrance. The czar, naturally enough, went to the place , where the banners were. There were some rather steep steps in front of the sido door and the czar complained that his legs were weak and -that he would prefer to enter the church through some other door. "Nonsense!" the bishop exclaimed. The weakness of your legs doesn't pre vent yon from dancing. Come!" Seizing him by the arm the powerful bishop yanked his'majesty no the stens. At the threshold the czar bent down to- kiss the image that the priest presented. ui mm, one to tno utter astonishment of the crowd, the bishop, still holding, him by the arm, forced him to bow down al most to the ground. The czar thought that was enough, so he again attempted to mss me imago, "isol three times!' said the bishop. The czar had to obey and bow twice more before ho was per mitted to kiss the holy image. 1 hat, however, was only tha besrinnina: of his troubles. After having heard the Te Deum in the cathedral, the czar re tired to the apartments that had been carefully prepared for him by the gover nor, ana was about to enjoy his first nap when all the bells of the churches burst out with a terrific clangor. The arch bishop, accompanied by his chapter and an immense crowd, all chanting loud enougn to take the roof off, presented himself before the governor's residence and announced his intention -to purify the rooms occupied by the czar by sprinkling them with holy water. Alex ander I sent his adjutant to the terrible prelate to tell him that his majesty was fatigued and was unable to receive him "You are the adjutant of the czar of this earth," the bishop said, "but I am the adjutant of the czar of heaven." " SPRtVKLINQ THE CZAIL The yonng man refused to admit him. and the mighty, bishop grabbed him by the collar, tossed him back thirty foe tin the rear and walked majestically into the czar's room. "1 will haye you arrested," the kov- ernor shouted, in a furious rage. "J. here is not power enough in the whole world," the uishop responded, "to arrest the cross of God." Alexander had to submit. Hi rooms were thoroughly sprinkled, after which he was compelled to listen to an inter minable sermon on the evils of self love and the passion for luxury. On leaving the emperor, the archbishop proceeded once more to the cathedral for the even ing ofiice. At 10 o'clocfc the bells rang out a second time. Then tho czar sent word to the archbishop to stop the rinsr-- ing of the bells for the third time, which was the old - Russian custom: but Am broise would not yield an inch. He was the adjutant of the czar of heaven, and he would take no orders from a lesser potentate. So an hour later the bells be gan a dreadful racket for the third time. The next morning his majesty had to review his troops, and, as he wished to hear mass first, he dispatched his ad jutant to the 'bishop with an order to celebrate mass at 6 o'clock and make the services as brief as possible. . "Tell the czar, Ambroise said to the adjutant, "that service will be at 7 o'clock, as usual,, and . thatit .will. - be neither longer nor shorter than usual. bat strictly According to the Jaws of the church." ; He kept his word. The czar, and hi troops had to wait: Of course his ma jesty had his- revenge.. Ambroise was dismissed from his , office and. retired to a "monastery, but that' did not trouble Aim, for he had lrvd while archbishop like the poorest monk in all Russia! -New York Sun. V".
