THE "EXAMINER AND THE LETTER
LIsr-A SAFE WAY TO MAKE RAISE -
Our jocular and modest contemporary
the Examiner, is getting off good joke,
and informs the whole listening and Won
der-stricken world that its editor and pro-
prietor will bet thousand dollars that it
has larger circulation than any other pa
per published in this city. Poor blinded
people that we are! We had looked with
awe and reverence upon the "Great South
crn Paper; we had hearkened unto the
braying of its trumpet; we had listened to
the tweaking and scraping of its fiddle !;
when 10! the tabular statement issued from
its own office shows that its daily circula-
ton is gradually and surely decreasing.
We are not great arithmetician, but we
have consulted with mathematical
friend, who knows all about "unknown
quantities." and now suggests that instead
of betting 81 900 that the Examiner has
the largest circulation, it would be far
safer to bet that the Examiner will not be
in existence this day six months. The city
circulation of the Examiner on the 9TH in
slant was 2,37l, and the diminution during
the twenty three days of which state
ment is published is 81, or an average fall
ing off of lG per diem; SO that 149 days, or
six working months, at the present rate,
would extinguish its city circulation en-
tircly. No enterprise can continue to go
down hill forever, and steady daily dimi-
mutton, however small, will bring the
proudest newspaper to paltry zero at last.
MoRAL.-Bluf is an interesting game,
Mr.. Examiner; but it is not so amusing
when only one person takes hand.

CLEANING THE CITY-THE CUTTERS AND
FIRE. PLuGs.-The city hands have already
been sprinkling disinfectants in the cutters
in the eastern portion Of the city; and it
is doubtless due to the supervision of the
Board of Health and the energy of the city
authorities that we owe the almost total
immunity Of the city from epidemical dis
ease. Most of the cutters, however, re-
quire cleaning out frequently in this
weather, and the authorities will do well
to cause the flre-plugs to be opened at
least once week. Acopious stream from
the plugs, running for an hour or two, will
wash ont the kennels and also throw a
strong current through the sewers, which
will carry away impurities and sewerage
almost as rapidly as they accumulate.

THE RICHMOND MALE ORPHAN SOCIETY,"
There was full attendance of the men,
bers of the Board at the meeting of this
Society held on Thursday evening. The
meeting, as We stated on Thursday, was
principally called to consider the propriety
of donating vacant lot belonging to the
Society for the site Of the proposed asylum
for the orphans Of Confederate soldiers.
1t was finally determined, after a discus
sion Of the whole subject, not to donate
the lot, as the bylaws of the Society make
it one of purely local character, and the
Board considered that they had no power
to donate any of its funds to any other
purpose than that for which they were cX-
prcssly subscribed.
1t was suggested that the proposed plan
of asking each Sabbath school in the city
to pledge itself to defray the expenses
of one orphan be submitted to the differ
ent Sabbath schools, and q committee was
appointed for that purpose. This plan has
been adopted by one Of the schools, and
is found to work admirably, the children
calling the orphan "their child" and
taking great interest in his welfare.
A resolution was passed ordering the
Receiving Committee to admit ten addi-
tional boys into the Asylum; and the Board
then adjourned until the next regular
meeting, on the second Monday in August.

THE EARLY-CLosING MovENENT.-A
large number of the principal stores in
this city have agreed to close their places
of business at 6 o'clock p. NJ, so as to al
low their employees some time for study
and recreation. The movement cannot,
however, be successful unless it is unani-
nous, and at present the goodwill of the
majority of the storekeepers is neutralizcd
by the persistent opposition of q small mi
nority, who decline to close their places
of business one moment before their ac-
customed hour. If these gentlemen would
consider the question carefully they would
come to the inevitable conclusion that, al
though they gave their clerks two or three
hours of freedom day, they would still be
the gamers. No man works in confined
store twelve or fourteen hours day with
out becoming physically and mentally cner-
waited. He loses his energy and courage,
and has no enthusiasm for his trade. Let
him, on the other hand, be able to look for
ward to an hour or two's rest before the
hour for retiring, and he will work with
spirit and will, and will do more i'll ten
hours than he has usually done in twelve.
If the shopkeepers will Not give way,
the clerks can only appeal to the citizens
of Richmond not to do any shopping that
can be avoided after 6 o'clock in the even
ing, and the shopkeepers will then see
that nothing Is to be realized by remaining
open until any later hour.
