THE CALICO MnIs.-The Richmond
Times gives the following account of
these celebrated Mills, which have been
destroyed:
The 'Gallego Mills we're builtin 1888,
by the late PeterJ. Chevalle, the old
Gallego Mills on the Canal, having been
burned down. They were on the most
extensive scale-using twenty pair OF
burrs and four rubbers. They cost more
than Sl50,000. site and all; but there
were some $40, 900 expended in laying
the foundation walls, there being made
land where they were built. and it be-
ing necessary to go down to a great depth
to obtain foundation. This foundation
stands as good as ever. The present
proprietors obtained The Mills at much
under their original cost; aud when we
consider how much cheaper building
can now be carried ON than in 1888, We
are sure the Gallego Mills can now be
replaced at cost of which the original
outlay cannot be considered a criterion"

Here was a pretty letter TO set before a
queen; a mode Of imploring aims that mipbt
we'll have disguised the most charitable
But what was Maria Amelie's reply TO the
precious epistle ! She was accustomed 10
open all the petitions addressed to her-and
numerous indeed they were-wiih her own
hand, and to write upon many Of them in
structions for Nj. Appert. When the imper-
tinont missive of the Donapartist reached that
gentleman, the following lines had been adj
ded to it:-"She must be very unhappy, for
she is very unjust. A hundred francs 10 be
sent TO her Immediately and | beg NJ. Ap-
pert to make inquiries concerning this lady's
circumstances" Nj. Appert, indignant at
the tone Of the letter, ventured to demonstrate:
but the queen insisted, and even tripled her
intended donation, in case it should he re-
qrired by her singular petitioner, whom her
aImoner accordingly proceeded to visit. a.
knocked at a worm-eaten door, on the fifth
floor of a house in the Rue st. Andre des
Arts, and a lady dressed in black lit was her
only gown opened it.
"Sir," said she, much agitated, "are YOU
the commissary Of police come to arrest me
for my hamein letter TO the queen? You
must forgive me: | am so unhappy that at
lines become deranged. | am sorry to have
written as ] did to a princess whom all the
poor call good and charitable"
"Be not alarmed, madam" ! replied, Ia
king her petition from my pocket. "Read
her majesty's orders; they will enable you
TO judge of her better than anything ! could
tell YOU"
Madame C.. read the affecting words adj
ded by the queen; then, bursting into tears.
she pressed tile paper TO her lips. "Sir,''
she exclaimed, give me nothing, but leave
me this holy relic. | will die with hunger
with it upon my heart"
"Madame c.. proving in all respects wor-

three hundred francs, but had much difficulty

WAR DINNER DTHANKSGIvING
ny ADAM FIT7 ADAM, rsQ.

ny ADAM FIT2 ADAM, EsQ.
1t is not crcditable TO a thinking people,
that the two things they most thank God for
should he eating and fighting. We say
grace when we are going to cut up lamb and
chicken, and when we have stuffed ourselves
with both to an extent that an ourang outang
would be ashamed Of; we offer up our best
praises TO the Creator for having blown and
sabred his 'imagrs," our fellow-creaturos, to
atoms, and drenched them in blood and dirt.
This is odd. Strange that we should keep
our most pious transports for the lowest of
our appetites, and the most melancholy Of
our necessities ! that we should never be
wrought up into paroXysns Of holy gratitude
but for bubble and squeak, or a good-sized
massacre that we should think it ridiculous
to be asked to say grace for a concert or a
lower-show, or the sight of a gallery Of pic
lures, or any other of the divinest gifts Of
heaven; vet hold it to be the most natural
and exalted Of impulses, to fall on our knees
for having kicked, beaten, torn, shattered,
drowned, stihed, exenterated, mashed and
abolished thousands Of our "~neighbors,"
whom we are directed to ''love as oursulyes!'

London Police.

The connection Je',ceen Poverty and Crime
practically Wusirated.-On Saturday last a
remarkable proof was afforded, at the Police
Court, of the truth Of the theory SO often pro-
pounded, more particularly Of late years, that
poverty and crime are intimately associated.
A grown-up lad, and a lad who had evident
ly been educated and respectfully brought up,
was put TO the bar on a charge of having
broken one OF the street lamps at a late hour
of Friday night.
81 admit" said he, "the charge. But
why, why, Mr.. Rushton have ] committed
the offence was hungry-I was i'll. ]
called twice at the Parish office 10 procure a
pass TO my native land, Ireland, but, without
giving me time to tell that ! was i'll, | was
ushered out of their Office and forced into the
street. | then sought the Police court, sir,
to make you acquainted with my suffering.
but the police officer on duty at the outer
door refused me admittdnce. ] made a Sc
cond attempt TO get in to you, but he repuls-
ed me. What, then, could | dnl Driven
from the Parish Office and the Police court,
what was ] 10 do? Why, wandering about
the streets, last night, friendless and hungry,
| bethought myself Of breaking a lamp, in
order to draw public attention TO my case
The result is known; ] broke it; and here ]
am, in the last stage of Distress"
The recital Of the short but melancholy
tale created a feeling of deep sympathy for
the unfortunate lad. Mr.. Rushton immedi-
ately sent for Mr.. Rowland, who, on being
made acquainted with what had been stated,
said that he had not asked for a pass at the
Parish office.
NO." %rejoined the prisoner, 81 had not
time TO ask for il. ] had not even time to
say that ] was i'll, when ! was ushered out
of the office"
Mr.. Rowland further explained after
which Mr.. Rushton said, 81 am very sorry
he has been refused entrance here. No per-
son, however wretched, must, in future, be
impeded, on any account, from coming before
me-"
Mr.. Parkison: "He cam twice to the
