Mr.. Editor:
TO those who wish to spend por.
tion Of their time aud means, in re-.
cruiting health, and wasted energies,
there can be no difficulty in those
days of quick aud easy transit to de-
termine where to go. Whilst many
of the watering places North, are
characterized by "fast men," 'fast
women" and "fast horses" not to for
get the enormous expense, the fatigue,
as we'll as the mouotony of travel is
greatly relieved by enjoying, nearer
home, in the mountains Of Virginia,
not only the most sublime and pic
turesque scenery in the world, whilst
eli route, but also when stationary, the
best accom- odations The country can
afford, viz comfortable beds, clean
rooms, good cooking, few rational
amusemen,s, and best Of all, if you
are disposed to be agreeable, and not
well selected Southern society.
In this entire section of country,
within a circle, whose diameter eX-
ceeds hundred miles, there are
thousand charming summer resorts,
possessing many attractions for those
who my be seeking either health or
pleasure. The climate is very invigo-
rating, and the waters unquestion IDLY
beneficial to the invalid, if prope, ly
used; but above all, there is nothing
that exoites wonder and surprise,

HOW PEOPLE ARE PAID IN GERMANY.

There is no civilized country where work is
so poorly paid as in Germany, or where the
earnings are in such disproportion to the ex-
penses of living. The average earning of a
workingman is four thalers per week Ga thaler
is 62s cents of American gold), while it re-
quires for a family OF six members at least
eight thalers. The result. says Berlin cor
respondent, is series of efforts at cheap liv-
ing, cheap enjoyment and general selfdenial.
1t is only master workman that commands
one thaler per day. know of one who, to se-
cure this sum, which is absolutely required for
his family, rises at three in the morning and
manages a steam engine till nine o'clock at
night. Occasionally he must work through the
whole night and all Sunday without any addi-
tional wages. A common day lab0rer, who
has mastered no trade, is glad to get employ
ment at twenty cents per day. Walters In the
hotels and restaurants do not average this.
Male "help" gets about $4 month. A SER
want girl earns SIS year. Higher work gets
gradually better paid yet only in comparison.
A teacher in the common schools gets from
$50 to $500 year. In gymnasiums, or what
corresponds to our colleges, the professors,
who are required to be graduates of one of the
great universities, get, on an average, 5000. A
professor in university gets rarely more than

course. the great leading lights in science, and
the professores ordinarie generally, who belong
to special class of which l shall speak pres
emily, get better paid Tutors in the wealthy
families, position which the great Kant and
nearly every German 1iterateur has filled,
rarely get more than $500 year. One, who
is a graduate of university, who speaks, be-
sides his own language, French, English and
Italian, and can read not only Greek and Latin,
but also Hebrew and Russian, and who Is, be-
sides, professional historian, and has made
original investigations in the literature and
times of Hesiod, on which subject he is no
mean authority, receives $500 year in addi-
tion to his board
The Government counselors, as they are
called-lawyers, physicians, school directors,
etc.-who have the management of the mat
ters pertaining to their several departments in
the different districts and wards. and are en-
dowed for life by the Government, get an an
nuity Of 81 500. This, however, is the COM
mencement of the aristocracy, or of class
which, from hereditary possessions or large
perqusites, are enabled to live in style quite
distinct from the people" From these up
ward there is a rapid increase in the salaries,
or endownents rather. This class, including
the army and police officers and the nobility,
have all the wealth. while the laboring classes
have none.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE BILL DEFEATED

in Washington Territory, announces the defeat
in the Legislature on October Goth of the bill
granting the right of suffrage to women The
substitute offered in the House by Mr.. Winans,
declaring that females are entitled to the right
of suffrage by virtue of the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution Of
the United States. was indefinitely postponed
by vote of 16 to IL, with three members abb
sent. The Legislature of Washington Terri
tory has been guilty heretofore, of passing many
outrageous bills, but the tide seems to have
turned, and their action in the measure refer
red to, may be considered redeeming trait.
Few women who appreciate properly their
mission, will ever clamor for admission to the
filthy pool of politics.

ANOTHER CARPET BAGGER.-The editor Of
a Radical paper in Mississippi having stated
that the proprietor of the Vicksburg Herald
was "carpet-bagger, Col. McCardle, the
gritty editor Of the Herald, thus retorts:
The Thieves Own Organ has discovered
that the present proprietor OF the Herald is
a carpet-bagger, and that he is one of 1.-THE
least, most Insignificant and Irresponsible"
The proprietor of the Herald pleads guilty.
He came to Vicksburg, with his carpetbag
slung over his shoulder, thirty-nine years ago,
at which time he had arrived at the mature
age of three months! Since he was old enough
to work he has earned his bread by honest Ia
Dor, has never been charged with or suspected
of stealing anything, and has never, like carpet.

for office! His lighting weight" is just one

A BRILLIANT MND.-The body of Theodore
B. Pryor, son of General Roger A Pryor,
was found in East River, New York, on the
of Oct. 23d. 1t is not known how he
came by his death. A little more than year

FIRE-pRooF DREssEs.-A chemist of Vien-
na it Is reported. has succeeded in discovering
a composition which will make even the slight
material of ballet dancers dresses fre-proof.
The Prince of Lichtenstein has given this COM
position first trial on the stage in his own
palace, in the presence of numerous company.
The rise of the curtain discovered two lite-
sized dolls, dressed as ballet girls, to both of
which a light was applied. One of the dolls
was rapidly reduced to ashes, while the other,
saturated with the protective composition, es-
capped with a small hole burned in the dress.
The experiment was SO satisfactory that the
Prince of Lichtenstein is having wooden the
atre erected outside of Vienna for the purpose
of making another trial of the fre-proof CON-
position, with which the boards are to be sat-
urated. If the building resists fire, the sue
cess will be accepted as final, and in that event
the discoverer has an order to make the scene
ry of the Vienna City Theatre infammable.

OUR GREAT RIVERS DRYING UP.-The re-
suits of investigations recently announced show
that the volume of water in our great rivers is
steadily diminishing, and even the bed of the
mighty Mississippi seems to be filling up at
rate which threatens in the course of time to
seriously affect navigation during the dry sea-
son. This year, at st. Louis, we are told,
while the surface of the water has been four
feet and one inch above the lowest stage OF
water attained by the river in 1863 there was
at the same time only about FIVE inches differ
ence in the depth of the channel between these
years, showing that the bottom of the river
must be three feet and four inches higher than
it was in 1868. So in 1856 the bed of the river
was found to be two feet and three inches
higher than it was ten years previous. 1t is
thought that tough clay particles are brought
down by tributaries streams from the cult
waited fields of the Northwest and deposited in
the channel, and that these, forming with the
sand a concrete mass, adhere to the bottom,
instead of being secured out by the annual
freshets, as is the case with unmixed sand. 1t
is reasonable to suppose, too, that the volume
of water flowing into the river will gradually
decrease as the country is opened up to culti-
walton, as such has been the case with other
rivers flowing through cultivated districts
The Danube, though large river, is united
for purposes of commercial intercourse. If
we look nearer home, we find that the destruc-
ton of the forests and the cultivation of the
adjacent country are having the effect of dry
ing up the Connecticut, very gradually to be
sure, but still none the less efectually. Many
of its, tributaries. which formerly contributed
large volumes of water the twelve months
through, are now dry for three-fourths of the
year These investigations are attracting much
attention, and leading to strange predictions
for the future. Should the beds of the rivers
fill up without decrease in the volume of wa.
ter, inundations would follow, but it is argued
BY others that the water will decrease in quan-
tty as the channels of the rivers rise from the
accumulatons of sediment Virgiaia (Neua-
da) Enterprise.

A Few MORE CoNvERTs.-The visit of Su-

Among these new converts is Gen. John NJ.

he "takes no stock in the movement" The

THE STORY OF AN OLD POLITICAL SoNG.-
The announcement of THE death of John Grei.
ner, the Wing song writer Of 1904, has
called up some amusing "reminiscences from
the veterans of that day. A writer in the Gin
cinnati Commercial furnishes the following:
It seems that one of the objections to placs
ing Frelinghuysen ON the ticket with Henry
Clay was that they couldn't make his name
rhyme in the political songs, which in those
days performed 80 important part in Presi-
Dental canvass. Some of the Ohio delegaters
replied that there would be no difficulty about
that; they had with them man equal to any
rhythmetical emergency. Greiner was hunted
up, and Immediately dashed off song, the re-
frain of which was:
"Hurrah! Hurrah! the country's rising, = -rr.
For Henry Clay and Frsinghuysen,"
set it to an air. and presently sang it in public:
There was rush to the stand were Greiner
stood for the copy, those wanting itbeing Wing
editors, who were present to report proceedings.
Greiner looked around him. Not liking the
appearance of the shambling, carelessly dressed
applicant nearest him, he handed the copy to
one of moro impressive appearance. 1t turned
out that he had refused his song to Horace
Greeley and given it to the editor of q country
newspaper. The song, however, soon fothd its
way into all the Wing papers and campaign
song books and there are doubtless thousands
of men, then mefe boys, who have clear re-
collection of the vigor with which the burden
of the song quoted was shouted at the great
Whig gatherings of that year.
