Virginia of Virginia. Roden was not only a new arrival in Virginia, but in A merica, and the impression made upon him had not, to speak very moderately, been favorable. Coming from Washington, some one in the train had asked him if it did not remind him of England. He had answered with some curtness that it did not, demanding at the same time why he should be particularly reminded of England by the state of the weather in Virginia. His interlocutor had replied with the never-failing urbanity of the Virginian farmer, that anybody could tell he was anE nglisher by th way he talked, and them loose pants. At the moment he first saw the figure alluded to, the owner of theB ritish accent and the loose pants was shivering in spite of the top-coat turned up about his ears and the soft hat pulled down to meet it.
