At-midnight on Monday night a

assisted 10 the work of lighting up

lines along the street, from Front TO
Seventh. Tie most of these sticks
had been dipped in wax, and formed
a species Of wax candle, which ans
wered well the purpose of illuminat-
ion These sticks were stuck into
the ground or placed sleng the rail
road track. While these lights were
burning three or four high priests,
proceeded by two or three musicians
marched with solemn step up and
down the street, chanting mysterious
words in their own narve tongue,
and waving fsg TO aid in driving
away the spirit Of the evil one

oarked in boats upon the slough,
where some two hours were spent in
burning incense, beating gongs, in
carnations, etc., etc. Last evening
the usual programme was followed
at headquarters. At two o'clock in
the morning the grand fineal took
place, and consisted of burning the
two or three gigantic men Of iinsel

so conspicuously in the ceremonies
of the week.

viii be very much as / please
Both tn emother and the son had en-.
tirely forgotten the presence Of the
young girl who was standing in the
dusky shadows near the door, until
this mement when Mrs. Richley, torn.
ing sharply around, saw her.
"What are you waiting for" she
asked irritably. 81 have already
told you that it was not convenient
to pay the money to-night-why
don't you go about your business?''
Her cheeks were flushed even be-
meath their artificial bloom of rogue,
and herchil grey eyes sparkled with
rising anger, as Laura Avery CON-
posedly advanced forward. She took
one of the waxen tapers from the
china shell and lighted the gas with
a steady hand, whose flash of rich
rings filed Mrs Richley with aston
lshment.
81 am sorry that yeu cannot pay
your just debts, madam" said Laura
looking the amazed mother and son
in the face; but / am not ssrry fer
any occurrence that has had the eff
feet ef opening my eyes to the true
character of Florain Richley. 1 will
take the ten dollars, sir, to my sick
friend, as you will find it entirely un-
necessary to go to the expense of
taking Miss Laura Avery to the OPP
era tonight"
Flormn's handsome face had grown
pale-his knees quivered beneath
him as he mechanically took the bill
from his pocket book and placed it
in the hand OF the imperative beauty,
while Mrs. Richley sank back sghsst
in the cushioned arm chair.
Florain made one desperate effort
to retrieve his lost fortune, even in
the moment of sure defeat and dis
eemfiture.
II am very sorry-awkwsrd mis-
take-hope you win afford me an
explanation" he stammered.
81 require no explanation, sir"
was Laura's cold reply, as she with
drew from the apartment haughtily
and unapproachable as statue Of
ice.
She hurried homeward through the
twilight streets, with burning cheek
and beating heart, and it was nearly
dark when once more she entered
Miss Waynalrs room, lighted only
by the faint glow of q low fire.
"Back so soon, LauraT" asked FL
len, ssmewhot surprised.
"Here is the money, Nelly, and
the wine," she said thankful that the
dim light could not betray her tel
tale features. "And now you must
get well as fast as you can"
Z "Oh, Laura, | am so much obliged
to yOu," said Ellen earnestly.
Laura stopped to kiss her friends
pale cheek inwardly rejecting how
much she had to thank Ellen's indis.
position.
But she never teld Ellen Of the
discovery she had unwlttingly made,
while fulfilling the gentle mission of
and no one ever knew the
precise manner in which the contem-
plated match between Florian Rich
ley and Laura Avery was broken Off
There are some things that bring
their own reward in this world
and the one act of kindness had
saved Laura from unconsciously Ia
king q step that would have precipi-
tated her into lifetime of misery.

Jane River and Kanawha Canal.


Vast as has been the increase Of the
business done on the Erie canal
since its enlargement, its capacity is
found inadequate to the increase OF
freight. Water transit is cheaper
than transportation by rail, and the
great roads from West to East. bur
dened as they are with business, can
not come into successful competition
with canal rates. Indispensable,
therefore, as railroads are to the de-
velopment of Virginia, and especially
10 the prosperity of its seaports, we
believe that the future growth of
Norfolk and Newport News will de
dend mere on the completion of the
Kanawha and James River canal
than on any of its railroad cennee-
tions. There is no reason why the
grain, pork and beef OF the central
West should not find their outlet to
European and Eastern markets by
way Of Norfolk but the want of cheap
transportation thence, and that can
be furnished by canal Of large
cap acity, which will build up the
tswns on its route, as Syracuse,
Utica, and Rochester have grown up
along the line of the Erie. This
would prsve q national highway,
furnishing the cheapest water trans
pertation for bulky articles, both
eastward and westward, and will
benefit not simply Virginia, but all
the States touched by the Mississip-
pi and its tributaries.
We to commend the inhabitants oil
Virginia and West Va, the sugges-
ton that the land holders along the
route throw part of their acres into
common fund, at minimum rates
for the construction Of the canal
Indeed. they could afford to give
half their land outright and build
the canal, thus quadrupling the value
of what is left. Give the farmers of
Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa and Wisconsin the opportuni-
ty of sending their grain and meats
to markets by water transit, and OF
getting their needed supplies in re-
turn, and the volume of business
that would pour over this canal
would scatter shower Of gold along
its path and build up gigantic city
at its seaport terminus. Again, the
business thus created would call iHto
life the manufacturing energies of
the Old Dominion, and furnaces,
forges and factories would spring
mp all through its borders. Its
mineral resources, are unrivaled.--
Naught is needed but energy and
capital to make that honored Com
monwealth the workshop of the
South, and the completion Of no
single enterprise will bring both so
surely as the opening Of a great
route from the Ohio to the Atlantic.
