CAPITOL MEMORIAL ADDRESS.
An Appeal to the Citizens of Virginia

The following address Ito the people of Vir-
ginia, signed by the President and Secretary
of ''The Memorial Tablet Association" sets
forth so clearly its objects and aims that we
find preface and comment alike unnecessary:
ITO the People Of Virginia:
1.-THE Association which we have the honor
to represent designs to erect memorial tablet
IN the Capitol In c0mmemmoration of the dis
aster OF AprlF27th, 1870, and of the victims
OF that dire calamity and our purpose in this
brief address Is to invite you to contribute to
the fund necessary to carry that design into ex-
ecutlon. The amount required is not large,
but 1T is proper, liz view of the character of
the disaster and the widespread ties of those
who persisted In it, that the whole people of
this Commonwealth should unite in the pro-
posed memorial and for this reason we call
your attention to it and solicit your co-opera-
ton.
1--WE need not recite the melancholy details
of the catastrophe. Scarcely had the echoes
of the fatal crash died on our ears before the
telegraph had summoned a sympathetic world
to condole with us In our agony and grief
The place. the number, and character of the
vctims-all the circumstances of the dread
event-combined to elevate it above ordinary
casualties, and to give it a consequence beyond
that OF mere private misfortune, and made
it an affair of deep public concern and of his
torlc dignity. 1t was indeed public calamity,
and it becomes us to mark it In public way:
not that zoe are likely to forget it, but lest stran
gers accuse us Of indifference, and our own
posterity blush at our lack of common respect
tor the unfortunate. But we are not indiffer-
emit, nor are we lacking in tender respect for
those who persisted, as the existence Of this as
soclation testities, and as the memorial it will
erect shall perpetually bear witness.
generous people should always rear me-
mentoes OF the notable events in their history
whether of success, of defeat, of prosperity. or
adversely. Sweet are the uses of adversely
and the capitol disaster" well-remember-
ed and well-honored, will teach us many les
son, both as individuals and as a people, that
will result in private aud public blessings.
-, But we are saying more than is necessary
The simplest statement is enough None are
SO lnsenslble as not to wish to give something
to memorial SO solemn and so sacred, and
lew are SO poor that they can give nothing
subscription lists will be placed 10 the hands
OF responsible gentlemen in all parts of the
State. who will receive any amount you may
choose to contribute, or you may make direct
remlttances here to the treasurer of the Asso-
citation, When sufficient fund shall have
been subscribed due notice of that fact will be
given"
Respectfully, &C.,
G. G. WALKER,
President Capitol Memorial Association.

We were surprised to see it announced in
several of the Richmond papers that the Rad

We avail ourselves of the first opportunity to
correct this Misrepresentation. There was no
Radical ticket before the people, and politics
were in no wise involved in the contest The
election turned purely on local questions of
taxation and expenditure Politics had moth
ing to do with it. We feel that this explana-
ton is due to our community and to the respec-

The Tuilleries and tha LnuVra

These famous palaces, which were destroyed
by the Communists of Paris, on Wednesday,
were unsurpassed in magni6cence and extent
among the imperial residences of Europe
During the reign of Napoleon I'll, they had
been vastly improved and their union into one
grand connected pile completed. The Tuille-
ries were founded in 1864 by Catharine de Me-
dici, wife Of Henry Ii, and was added to and
improved by subsequent monarchs. 1t was
raosacked by the populace during the revolu
tions Of 1872, 1880, 184S, and in September
last. The Louvre is still more ancient and
has had its graduation 10 growth, but not such
yicissitudes as the palace of the Tuieries. It
has been distinguished for the magnificent col
!cctions of ancient and modern statuary and
paintings within its galleries, and its magnif-
cent library, the accommodations of years 1t is
rarely identified even as part of the imperial
residence, the idea Of residence being exclu-
sively associated with the Tuilleries. The uni
ted palaces, which lie between the Seine and
Rue Rivoli, cover sixty acres of ground, are
l,008 feet in their greatest width and half a
mile 10 length. The gardens Of the Tuilleries
com prise fifty acres, and extend west to the

explosion Of the steam fire engine Alpha, at
fire in Baltimore, on Monday morning was
concluded on Tuesday. A great number of
witnesses were examined as to the facts and
the condition of the engine. 1t appeared it
was very old and much corroded and an explo-
sion had long been expected 1t was one of
the Philadelphia make of engines, like ours in
Richmond, which ought to be looked TO before
We have similar catastrophe. The jury re-
turoed verdict that the deceased came to
bis death from the explosion of the steamer
Alpha, of the Baltimore city fire department;
said explosion was superinduced from an over
pressure of steam and worthlessness of the
fire box, owing to the negligence of the chief
engineer, assistant, and fire commissioners in
not knowing her condition when placed in po-
si5ion"
