House SERvAN1s.-Ths Richmond
Uhig states that female colored SER
wants are emigrating North, princi-
pally to New York, Jersey City,
Brooklyn and vicinity, In consequence
Of the unprecedented demand for that
class Of domestics In those cities, where
Sl2 to so n month, and even higher
rates are paid. In connection with
the emigration of colored domestics
North, it Is stated that females just
arrived in the United States from Ger
many and Ireland are flocking to
Richmond to obtain places rs domes-
tics under instructions. The wages
paid to this class Of inexperienced do
mestics vary from S. to $40 a month.
At Richmond the demand for labor Is
active, and the farmers are pay
ing the highest prices for hands. The
negroes, it is stated, are indisposed to
work at farm occupations, but will
engage us railroad laborers.
Farm laborers are paid from IS to $l2
a month, with board, but work on
railroads at 81 75 q day, with rations
ut twenty-five cents n day, Is consid-
cred more profitable.

Horrible Accident.

A man named Joe Beckheim has
been employed for some time at the
paper mill Of A. V. Dupont & Co., on
the corner of Tenth and Rowan streets.
He was yesterday watching tho vats,
filled with boiling water, mixed with
oil OF vitriol. soda-ash and lime. Straw
was being boiled In the water, and
Beckheim had a long pole stirring 1t
up from top to bottom. As he stood
upon the edge the pole became fastened,
which pulled him over toward the
heated cauldron. he saw that he was
about to 90 In headforemost and, to
prevent this, with great presence Of
mind he determined to throw his feet
forward and let them 60 into the water
first. He made a desperate effort ut
the same time to catch upon the aide Of
the vat, and succeeded In preventing
the body from going lower than to the
waist. Some Of the other workmen
saw his condition, and quickly pulled
him back. 1t was not done, however;
until after he was badly scalded. A
heavy pair Of. boots were upon the feet
and ankles, and they were not burned
so severely rs the other parts. Mr.. Du-
pont Immediately employed the best
medical talent In the city to attend the
sufferer, and to see that he received
every attention and kindness necessary
to his speedy recovery. The poor fell

SAN FRANCIsco, June 23-1P. NJ
Billy Carr, acting, rs understood, In
the Railroad interest, is making n very
bitter fight against Pacheco for Lieut.
Governor.
Canvasslng for the Republican pri-
marles tomorrow, Is exceedingly ac-
tive. Mayor Selby's friends are out in
full force and quite confident of elect
ing a large majority Of delegates.
Dispatches from Amador county in
dictate that the tactics of the rioters
will be, in case the troops proceed, to
quickly disperse when the troops ar
rive, calculating oh their being with
drawn from the locality at an early day.
The report this morning that the troops
had been detained at Sacramento,
causes much surprise, and there Is gen.
eral inquiry as to the reason of the
orders for their marching not having
been carried out.
Charles Murray waived an examina-
ton and was held to answer, to-day,
on a charge of grand larceny, for grab
bling ten English sovereigns from a
man whom lie induced to put them up
OIL q game of cards.
Senator Cole, on being serenadsd by
the Young Mems Republican Club and
others, last night, made n short speech.
He was followed by Bingham Of Ohio,
and Corbett Of Oregon.
The entire First Regiment Of the
National Guard is In readiness to
march for Amador county, If required,
and the Second and Third Regiments
can be put under arms and sent off on
six hours notice. The mine owners
appear determined to maintain their
ground at any sacrifice aud make no
compromise, now or hereafter, with
strikers. Private dispatches say all Is
uuiet ut Suffer Creek.

THE Development OF THE
SPECIES.

If Darwin's theory of the origin OF
species, fraught as it Is with value
only to delivers after hidden lore, and
involving In Its calculation, perhaps,
the destruction Of all that Is sacred In
our theology, was capable Of exciting
such underworld interest, what must
be the event Of General A. j. Pleason-
tons greater discovery, "The Devel-
opment Of the Species? 2" OF what In
terest to us Is the descent Of man or
the Genesis? We know Of the exist
ence of all these things and of their
present status; 1t is only their future
development, the extent and variety
of which, that should command IL
thought or call for u reasoning.
There are several theories Of the origin
Of organized beings, and but n Of
their development before the promul-
CATION by General Pleasonton Of the
one under consideration. The old one
is known to everybody-slow, method
ical and subject to certain natural
laws, which never varied. The new
and just propouhded one is so far
reaching, so important in Its relations,
and destined to have such great re-
suits upon our future being, that we
do not wonder at the excitement it is
creating. Suppose, for instance, that
we take the fact demonstrated by the
experiments Of General Pleasonton
with vegetation and the lower orders
Of animals and ppl it to the human
family. Build our houses Of blue
glass, surround ourselves with q vitri-
fled canopy of the same color, and
subject ourselves ut all times and
places to the stimulating effects of the
violet rays, the conclusion Is obvious
that the early maturity that has re-
suited therefrom in grapes and gray
hounds, calves and cucumbers, must
be reproduced in US. Childhood will
become a thing of the past, to be rs
much debated and disputed n thousand
years hence as is at present the crea-
ton of things IL recorded in the Mo-
sale script. 1t Is possible that we
stand upon the v Of a new departure
in science as we'll US in politics-one
which shall absorb and extinguish old
theories and beliefs, and clear up the
mysteries that now clog u onward
march. We, who have been Ignorant
heretofore Of the practical application
OF the magnetic, electric and thermic
powers of the suns rays in the blue or
violet ray, must abandon the field to
those restless workers who are every
day discovering new truths, dissipat-
ing old errors and narrowing the void
which exists between man and the
limits OF learning. Surely but grad
ually they are solving problems before
the contemplation of which our fathers
turned in dismay. Here they have a
field to the exploration Of which the
ology opposes no objections, and
whose cultivation will result only in
the good of mai morally, mentally
and physically.

There continues to be a great abund-
ance Of Money, and 1t remains free ut
the usual rates, 19lk at bank and ~
a. outside, according to circumstances
and borrowers. There are consldera-
BILE sum In the hands of private lend
ers, which are offered at low rates on
call. The loan societies get SOLO per
cent. The supply Of coin Is very ample.
The transfers Of coin from the East
through the Assistant Treasury exceed
the demands for customs, and the
amount Of bullion turned into the Mint
Is about $780, 900 thus far In the
month. The Mint ls closed for the ex-
animation, but the bullion deposits arc
met from the bullion fund; hence the
supply of coin Is not checked. The re-
mfttances Of bullion East from the
mines by railroad also afford credits
which are realized In coin BY transfer.
The supply Is, therefore, ample. The
demands for the moving Of tho crops
will set In within a month. The guam
tity of grain to be purchased Is less than
last year, but the price Is higher. The
1900, 900 sacks received In the frat 60

The WOMEN OF PARIs.-The part
borne by the women of Paris In the re-
cent bloody work in that city is being
made known to Us by the correspond
ents, one of whom, after describing the
face and form Of one OF the female Ma
tional Guards, says: IF the French
nation were composed only Of French
women, what a terrific nation It would
be-" 1t was the women who ran through
the streets with petroleum torches fir
ing the buildings; the women who shot
down unarmed prisoners, or murdered
wounded soldiers. An Englishman
met in the Rue de Ia Paix q company
OF between 20 and 80 girls, looking
neat and pretty, but hooted at, cussed
and Kissed with unusual bitterness by
the mob. lie learned that they were
the s~hop-girls of n sewing-machine
house, who had enticed O company Of
soldiers into their shop, petted and flat
tered them there, and then poisoned
them all in wine. These girls were
hurried along the Place Vendome,
knowing we'll that they would be put
to death without delay or mercy, but
they tripped along gaily, answering
tho curses of the throng with smiles.
All the women who participated in
these dreadful scene were not, how
ever, residents Of Bellevillc, or shop
girls. Some correspondents tell of the
decent and lady-like appearance OF
many who were caught firing from
windows or pouring petroleum into
cellars. French society must indeed
be demoralized.

WAS 1t old Colonial Governor Din
wlddie, OF Virginia, or Berkeley, who
denounced free schools rs the invention
Of the devil, or something Of that sort ?
1t was certainly one Of those precious
worthless; and, If we remember rightly,
lie thought that a general knowledge
OF reading would destroy any conf
munity or nation. This idea has always
prevailed in Virginia /; it is the modern
Democratic theory, that would keep
the people Ignorant that they might be
ruled the more easily, and wherever
the Democratic party Is In the ascend
ant It obtains. But times are changing
In Virginia, for there are now ass
public schools In the State, exclusive
of those In the cities OF Richmond,
Petersburg and Norfolk. Good for
Virginia!
