YESTERDAY the money.drawer of the
freight office of the Orange, Alexandria,
and Manassas railroad in this city was
broken open while the clerks in the office
were absent at dinner, and robbed Of about
$50 in money. Suspicion pointing strongly
to negro named Lewis Thompson, who is
employed at the depot, as the thief, he was
arrested and held for examination this
morning. A search of the prisoners per-
son. and also of his house, failed to discover
any of the money, though from the eircunl-
stances OF the case there appears to be little
doubt of his guilt.-Lyach6urg Meas.

HABEAs CoRPUs PROM JUDGE UNDEB-
wooD-Impadence Of Some Of the SnotA
Detectives. Sunday writ Of ltdbeds cor
pus was served upon the jailor OF Henry
county, requiring him forth with to convey
the body of Rob't Wells before Judge Un-
derwood, in Richmond. Some months ago.
at the instance of one of the revenue officers
located at Henry Courthouse, Robert
Wells made search OF one of the hotels
for brandy improperly branded, and for
which, without the authority of law, was
presented by the grand jury. When the
case came up for trial, his counsel asked his
Honor to instruct the jury, If they should
believe that the said Wells was q United
States officer, that they must bring ver-
dict of not guilty. To which the Judge
said If he could show that he was an officer
of the United States, he would SO instruct
the jury. The proof, however, was want
ing, and the jury assigned his fine at ten
dollars and cost. for which capras protSne
was issued. Wells, by advice, refused to
pay fine or cost, and for which the Sheriff
lodged him In jail; whereupon a habeas
corpus was issued by Judge Underwood,
returnable before him as soon as the jailor
could deliver him in Richmond. This Is
considered by all good citizens as very
great outrage, in view Of the fact that two
detectives had already announced at pub
lie hotel that the Government had resolved
to release Wells had he been imprisoned
Immediately after the rendition of the YER
dict Of the Jury. The prisoner noao is o
United States Marshal, and disappointment
was made long since (as learn) the search
referred to. That Wells went to Jail to
prevent the payment of the fine, | have no
doubt, but also, by advice, simply that
collision might arise thereby between State
and Federal authorities. But none suppose,
that he will hesitate for one moment to con-
firm the action of the Court of Henry
DanuiLle Register.

Women and Fashion.

Tie subserviency of women
TO fashion is one of the wonders
of tie day, and one which all
their efforts should be made to-
wards erad:cating. Such slav-
ishness is beIitting and humi!i-
ating. Mrs. Laura G. Holloway,
of New York, speaks of the
ridiculOnsnesss of many of those
who are seeking the right of
siufrage, and at the same time
refuse to ignore SO odious a
a taSkmaster as the fashion ty-
rant. She say-s, "The utter dis
crepancy between precept and
example, between avowed prin-
ciple and practice which every
year more painfully iupresses
US with the insi9uifcauce of
our sex, is due entirely to the
slavish devotion of orr women
to foreign fashions. Men laugh
at reform when they see its adj
vocaies asserting by their dress
that though they. want the
franchise and desire equality of
work and wages, they are new
ertheless proud of their abiect
servitude TO the latest STYLES"
She thinks that ga woman who
has the temerity to demand the
ear of the public in behalf of
wrongs, certainly should have
the strength of will and pur-
pose TO prove herself an indie
pendent individual. Yet, she
Outrages the fitness of things
by asserting her ability to gov
ern herself, at the same time
wearing theinsignia of slavery.
For if chignons, and panniers,
and fashionable distortions are
not emblems of slavery, to
which low wages and over-work
are not comparable, then / am
no Judge" She also says that
"women as a class are poor, and
dependent on male relations
for food and raiment, and hay
ing only good characters of
I which to boast, it is a wonder
that there is-not more personal
ambition on their part 10 prove
their steadfastness 10 principle
by self-government and indie
pendence. l wonder if il ever
occurs To women that all they
reGnire in this free country is
concentration and well-directed
energy"

ornament about her person.
She looks then as though she

meekness, mercy, and other
good qualities, as most of them

Marrow" Gauge Railroads.

Hon. L. D. Dibble recently
addressed a large audience in
the State Capitol of Michigan
on the subject ofnarrow gauge
railways. The Detroit Tribune
gives the following summary of
his speech.
"The common American
gauge is four feet eight inches
and a half, and the least cost of
construction of any road of
such width is s25.OOO per mile.
Roads whose gauges range
from two to three aud a half
feet, can be constructed, equip
ped and operated at one-third
of the sum reqnired for the
same pWposc by wide gauge
lines, and as tributaries to
trunk lines, or for opening up
new countries. are fully as use
fnl asthe broader roads. They
have lighter locomotives, small
er cars, narrower wheels, light
er ties, cheaper rails, sleeper
grades and sharper curves, and
connected with these peculiar
tiles ore savings in the cost of
excavation, in the material
used in bridges and culverts,
in the value of the iron, in the
amount of dead weight per
hundred weight of freight car
ried in each train, IN the length
of the line, and in nearly every
other item of expenditure
Moreover, railways of this clas S
have been and are practical
successes. There are two now
in use in our Upper PeninSular,
one of which is eight miles in
in length, and transports $50
tons of ore daily. In Wales, a
railway with a gauge of but
one foot eleven and halfiach-
es, which was Incorporated in
/ 1882, has some griiilientS of
one foot in 60 feet, has revers-
ed curves of such a character
that trains sometimes run upon
three Of them at q time, and so
short that the locomotive and
last car of the train are often
parallel, runs at as high rate of
speed as thirty-five miles an
hour, and pays an annual divi-
