HENRICo MsETING.--At l2 o'clock to-
day the people of Henrico county are requested to
meet at their courthouse to take such steps as
may be necessary to secure contributions and
memberships for the Central Agricultural Society
and AS they are deeply interested la the success OF
the movement, we feel assured that all who can
do so viii attend. We need not repeat to them the
otenmade declaration that this Society is not de-
signed to be the antagonist of the State Society
bGs on the contrary, that it will strengthen that
materially by enistng new frends TO the cause
of agriculture. The Central Society will hold and
close its exhibition this fall in ample time for all
who wish to do so, to attend the State Fair as
spectators or exhibitors If il can succeed in in
ducing single person or object to its Fair that
would not have visited the one held by the State
Society it will have accomplished that additional
good. while 1t cannot, by possibility, detract one
iota OF interest from the State Fair The project
ors OF this new organization in no wise inimi.
cal to the State Society, the preamble and reso.
utions adopted unanimously in a meeting of
citizens abundantly prove, and all inferences to
the contrary are without the slightest foundation
If the people of the county will do their duty to
themselves the success of the Central Society is
beyond doubt, and we believe better exhibition
may be had this fall, than has ever before been
witnessed in the State
At the same meeting the people will be called
upon to appoint delegates to the Southern Com
mercial Convention to be held in Montgomery
Ala, next Monday, and it is highly important that
their ablest men should be selected. Let all attend
and see that proper appointments made.

A Merited Compliment to the Administra-
tion.

Col. Alfred w. johnson, of Maine in
speech a short time since, paid the present
administration the following deserved COM
plmeni:
81 cannot close without saying that have
entire confidence in the ability, integrity and
patriotism of the present national executive
| know the administration of James Buchan-
an has been bitterly assailed by many at
the north and by the extremists at the south.
know that our ultra men here say that the
administration has accomplished nothing so
far for the good of the nation. | point
them with pride to the suppression Of fill
clustering at the extreme south, the crushing
out of rebellion in Utah without bloodshed;
the sending of a fleet into the gulf to sustain
our national flag in settling the question of
the right of search. point to the new sys-
TENS of economy introduced into the pub
lie service. point to the admirable foreign
policy of the administration, and challenge
objections from the opposition"

I'll Vote for the Other Man.

The following story is told of revolu-
tionary soldier who was running for Con-
gress: 1t appears he was opposed by much
younger man, who had never "been to the
wars" and it was the wont of "Revoluton-
ary" to tell the people Of the hardships he
endured. Says he:
"Felow-citizens, have fought and bled
for my country-I have helped to whip the
British and Indians. have slept upon the
field of battle with no other covering but the
canopy of Eeaven. | have walked over
frozen ground till every footstep was marked
with blood"
Just about this time, one of the ''sove-
reigns" who had become very much affected
by this tale Of woe, walked up in front Of
the speaker, wiping the tears from his eyes
with the extremity of his coat tail, and in
terrupting him, says;
"Did you say that you had fought the
British and the Injins:"
eyes," responded Revolutionary.
"Did you say that you had slept on the
ground while serving your country, without
any kivers"
"Yes, sir did"
"Did you say you had followed the enemy
Of your country over the frozen ground, till
every footstep was marked with blood!"
"Yes," exultngly replied the speaker.
"Weli, then," says the fearful sovereign"
as he gave sigh Of painful emotion, ''Pl be
ID if don't think you've done enough
for your country, and III vote for the o.heg

titles of land on the Ohio River, and in the
year 1896 was the owner of no less than
100000 acres. lie thus acquired the con-
sideration which wealth imparts, in addition
to his renown as a soldier and a patriot.
His house was now the resort for people of
the highest rank in society," He had so far
cultivated his mind and manners, as to be at
ease among men of talent and refinement.
In 1896, he was elected member of Con-
gress, and while at the seat Of government
during the following year he was attacked
by an illness which obliged him to return
home before the close of the session. He
remained an invalid for great part of tie
remainder Of his life, and through its closing
year he was confined almost entirely to the
house. For six or eight months prior to his
death he became so feeble as to require the
constant attendance of some person at his
bedside night and day. He at length ex-
pired after protracted struggle with bis in
frmites, on the 9th of July, 1902.
AS represented in his biography, General
Morgan was man of an ardent and imFul-
sive disposition, Of glowing patriotism, of
rare natural courage and of indomitabe res
olution and energy. His services in the
Revolutionary conflict secured the approval
and confidence of Washington, whose reli
ance on his efficiency on critical occasion
was never disappointed. Mr. Graham has
performed his task as biographer with abi
ity and address. He has succeeded in EN-.
bodying the pith of voiuminous documents
in a compact and symmetrical narrative.
His style is unambitious, but its vigor and
terseness admirably adapt it to the subject
which par:akes of the character both of bi-
ography and history. We cannot doubt
that his volume will attain high position
in the literature of the Revolution

The Dishonesty of Russian Officials.

Bavard. Taylor, in his Moscow letter. gives
the following illustrations of the dishonesty
of Russian public officials, notoriously the
most corrupt of any on the globe Let
those who think the government Of the peo-
pie corrupt, read the following of despot.
ism, and they will be very we'll satisfied.
Mr.. Taylor says:
"The dishonesty Of Russian officials is a
matter of universal notoriety, and Alexander
der II. is doing his part to check and punish
it. He has not been the slightest sufferer.
During the coronation 10000 lamps were
bought for the illumination of the Kremlin.
and now not one is to be found! Thousands
of yards of crimson cloth, furnished on the
same occasion, have disappeared, and enor-
nous charges appear in the bills for articles
which were never bought at all. All Mos
COW is now laughing over one of these dis
coveries; which is too amusing not to tell,
although may offend strict ideas of pro,
priety in relating it. In the suite of tho
Empress were fifty chosen Ladies of Honor,
who, of course, were lodged and entertained
at the imperial expense. When the bills
came to be settled it was found that, in fur
nishing the bed chambers of these fifty ladies'
4,5OO utensils of useful character had been
purchased, being no less than ninety apiece

other ornaments of diamonds had fallen into
the avenue. Imagine the CONSERVATION which
followed this discovery, especially whom search
was made in vain for them, and it became ne
eessary to postpone further investigation until
the daylight appeared. Ten thousand dollars

ground until day broke, when the diamonds
were found scattered in every direction; not a
