Ew In one of DR.. Ayers lectures
bc states that Chemistry confers more
practical benefit on mankind, than any
other science, yet from no other scource
could more be so easily obtained. The
arts and economies which chemistry
would teach, if more thoroughly and
generally studied, would speedily ex-
ercise most beuifcent influence. He
freely confesses that he is indebted to
this science for the virtue of his reme-
dies. and advises that the practicable
of chemistry to medicine.
the arts, manufactures. and agriculture,
be enjoined upon our colleges and

Christmas.

This time honored festival has been
observed as o season of festivity ever
since the second era OF the Christian
church, by all nations and people,
that accepted the religion of Christ.
And with good reason is it oh
served as happy time, being the
celebration of the birth of Him, who
brought glad tidings, the recognition
of the advent of light and love into
o world laden with sorrow and care
Christmas, graced with the simple.
pleasure giving customs, that have
b2come part of it in the growth Of
centuries. maintains its hold upon
or hearts eren in this age of rush
ing activity and fast living; and, We
believe, that it and its traditions will
be preserved till the end of time.
To England and to Germany we
arc indebted for the traditions and
practices, that make this Holiday q
time of general rejoicing and aban
donment to pleasure. The visits Of
Santa Claus to the eager children, the
practice of making presents, the
pleasures of the table, the decking
orr churches and houses in q holi
day. attire of evergreen, and the
Christmas tree, have all been handed
down to us by our sturdy corefathers
of old England, or by the Germans,
true lovers of domestic happiness,
and of everything thatpromotes fam
lily affection and genuine friendship.
We know Of no better preparation
TO open our hearts to the reception OF
the joyous influences of the Holiday,
than to read Washington Irvlng's de
lightful account Of tie festivities and
sports OF Christmas time in England.
and then to teach the little ones At
home that pretty poem, familiar to
US all, describing the visit of ST.
Nicholas, his queer dress, his fleet
reindeer, his load Of toys, and his
big heart ovel1owing with love for
the children.
A merry Christmas then, to ALL
May you throw asi'le for one day the
cares of The world, and let the Lord
Of misrule hold sway. while all enjoy
themselves; may Santa Claus Gil the
stockings of the little folks to reple-
tion out Of his plentiful stores; may
family circles be united and family
affection strengthened; and. finally,
in our enjoyment, may We not forget
those, 10 whom Christmas may be
but mockery, but may we increase
our own happiness by aiding that OF
the poor around us on this day.

From the returns of the commissioners of

Buchanan, Acconac, and the city Of Lynch

turns, there appears to be 1904 male ne
groes over the age Of twenty-one, which,
multiplied by j, would show black popu-
ation of 32S, olS. Add 10000 for the
counties and city from which there are no
returns, and we have as the entire black
populations of the State Ell the lst of F,hru.

GLIDING free and slave, within the present

since the 1st Of February as from 1860 to
that time, the number of negroes now in
Virginia cannot be much over 800, O0O.
This is terrible result Of emancipation to
these people
A very remarkable fact developed by the
same returns is that the adult male white
population of Virginia was larger in Febru-
airy last than it was before the war While
the negro population has fallen off with a
fearful rapidity the white Virginians have
been increasing in the face Of the calanitics
of war and of partial famine
1t is true that number of negroes left
Virginia during the war but not enough to
explain the immense falling off in their NUM-
bers Richmond Dispatch.
