ALL CLEAR Now Young ladies are
often asked why they blush so when
spoken to about their lovers, but they
are seldom able to give a satisfactory
answer. Taking pity on their bashfuf-

explanation of the beautiful phenome-

the central ganglion the latter, by, re-

ASSAULT ON A NEWSPAPER PROpRIE-
ToR.--About two o'clock, yesterday af-
ternoon, some excitement was created
in the vicinity of the Ballard House in
consequence of street assault made
upon Charles III. Wynne, ESQ.,, proprie-
tor of the Richmond Times newspaper,
by John Nj. Reyner, resident Of this
| city for several years, but a native Of
Maryland.
Mr.. Wynne was knocked down by a
blow from a heavy raw hide before (as
is stated he was aware of the proximity
of Mr.. Reyner, and while i'm a PROSTATE
position he received numerous and Sc
we're cuts and bruises about the face and
head. When he fell he turned over and
drew six-shooter, but before he could
use the weapon he became blinded and
confused from the flow of blond. The
police almost Immediately interfered
and arrested Mr.. Reyner, securing. also
the cowhide and pistol
The principals to the affair and wit
nesses, Of whom there were several, were
taken to the headquarters of the Seco nd
Provost District, where Col. Warren in
stituted preliminary examination into
the case. -.,.<a;
The assault, it seemed, was prompted
by the fact that, on Monday, Mr.. Rey.
ner went to the office of the Times with
a message from one of its former editors
to Mr.. p. H. Aylett, and that Mr..
Wynne, then present, ordered him out
of the office with insulting epithets.
Mr.. Wynne stated that he had been
warned concerning the designs of Mr..
Reyrer, and had carried q revolver
about his person for the purpose of self
defence, should he be attacked, but that
the suddenness of the assault had pre-
vented his using it, as he would assured
ly have done under more favorable cir
cumstances. '-'--' ''a'.t I'd. sa'tll''a d
The case was sent to the Provost
Court, and an examination was fixed for
10 O'Clock this morning. t-4

enough to require the aid of a surgeon in
dressing them.

BENEvoLENcE-AN APPEAL.

BENEv0LENCE-AE APPEAL.
The world is full of sentimental phi
lanthropy-it is the fashion of the age
Miniature Towards are in numbers be-
yond computation here, there, every.
where; while the blue-stocking coteries
the "o'f ting party" danes of former
date, are modernized into zealots, who,
IN weekly convocations, form projects
illimitable for relieving sufferers in the
Feejee Islands Not that we condemn
the broad sympathy which is world EN-
bracing in its efforts. But, it must be
confessed, that, in the benevolence of this
generation, there is much twaddle- too
much pharisaical pomposity, and frac-
ton too few of practicalresults. Parlor.
philanthropy will not serve real wants !;
and it is of real wants we wish to write.
A little oil-and-wine charity of the Sa-
marian order will avail us more-and
for this we plead in behalf of suffering
in q neighboring city. We want q be-
nevolence that will 60 to work, organize
some system, put tshand into its pocket,
and rescue hundreds from starvation this
coming winter. We said hundreds, but
"a fo nj 10 1,ot H.
State are in great need. The most tran
silent sojourner in Richmond is painfully
made conscious that destitution stalks
among all classes. Not alone i'm squalid
novels is it there to be encountered---it
throngs the public thoroughfares, hides
in faded robes of shabby gentility, and
stands a spectre on thresholds once
guarded by affluence. The Govern
ment is bountiful, but it cannot
meet all emergencies. Besides, if in
the city poverty is rampant, what must
be the condition of many humble house
holders in the surrounding small towns
and country places? TO be sure, the
pressure of the times has been largely
felt in Norfolk, but for many reasons its
people have, comparatively, suffered
nothing. To them, therefore, we turn
for their degree of aid. But il is to the
great capitals of the Union--New York,
Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, the
rich States of the West-we turn in this
sad day of Virginia's need. We know
there are many heads of families with
hearts of mercifulness, hearts rich in
traits of large humanity-can such
fathers break bread for happy bright
eyed group, and contentedly reflect that
a little multitude is furnishing near by ?
This is no fancy-picture! for such a
multitude does exist, does suffer for
Food! And We, our noble WOMEN OF
AMERICA, TO whom gentle pity Is an ap-
pendags of your sex, to you we appeal
with full assurance. A more delicate
sensibiity tenderly necessitates you to
enter with painful appreciation into all
the minuti@ of another's woe; remember
the needy, work to provide for the desti-
tute. Maternity in anguish, childhood
helpless, infancy faint from hunger, old
age bowed still more painfully by cruel
Want than by the weight of years
think of all thatI Your womanly tears
may, perhaps, move colder hearts, and
prompt the generous deed of mercy.
Again, we appeal in behalf of the poor
Of Virginia to the generosity Of the
people of the great Northern States and
cities of America. Shall We appeal in
vain?

further objections will be raised to its
immediate surrender to the trustees.
1t is a neat, transformations edifice,
pleasantly situated, and surrounded by
ample grounds, well laid out, and taste
fully ornamented with shade trees and
grassy lawns; but it has suffered some
through rough usage, and will require a
few necessary repairs. Still, if it be re-
turned to the city authorities, it will not
require much time to put the institu-
ton in complete order again, to carry
out the wishes of its founders and pa
irons. ". #.u..at l.
There is one feature connected with
this Academy to which we think it not
out of place to call the attention of the
military authorities. 1t has been the
recipient of several private requests for
special purposes, which it is the sacred
duty of the authorities to see fulfilled to
the very letter, if possible. Among
these special endowments, we may men
ton one by DR.. Augustine Slaughter,
au old citizen of Norfolk, made in 1914.
This benevolent gentleman, among
other charitable legacies left, bequeathed
to this institution the interest on three
thousand dollars annually, to be de-
voted to the rudimental education of
poor boys, who, after acquiring the arts
of reading, writing and arithmetic,
were to be placed in the navy or the
merchant service, to learn navigation,
in order that they might become useful
members of society and blessing to
their country. The places of these boys
at school were to be filled by others as
fast as vacated, and SO on forever. The
wise plan of the public benefactor has
been strictly adhered to, and who can
calculate the immense benefits that
have flowed to society through the SIM
pie bequest of this good man? The
50 Slaughter Fund" has been regularly
and judiciously applied to its legitimate
but since the conversion of
the building into military hospital, of
course the benefits derived from 1t have
not been of so marked or useful char
acter; and, indeed, all efforts in the
cause of education have languished to
a considerable extent, owing to the dis
jointed state of the times and the uncer-
tain condition of affairs. l... 4
d We trust, therefore, that the Academy
will be promptly placed at the DISPOSE
ton of the civic authorities, or its trus-
tees, and that it will be at once returned
to its legitimate uses. Its occupation
by the military should no longer serve
as an excuse for lack of educational IA
cilities in this city. Let it be fitted up
properly, reopened, and become again,
As in days past, proud evidence of our
ievotion to the noble purposes of liberal
,ducation and the diffusion of useful
among the people. 'a.i De-
