colored nurse, employed by a family re-

child OF the family to fall headforemost

soon as the child fell, the nurse, without
picking it up or asccrtaining the extent of
its injuries, incontinently fled, and we be-
lieye has not been seen or heard of since.

HENRICo COUNTY CoURT.-W. j.
Anable, who was bailed in the sum OF
$4,000 last week for his appearance to-
day, came into court and renewed his bail
until Wednesday next, to which time the
grand jury has adjourned. Ii. A. Atkinson
commemorative attorney, is i'll, and I'M
able to attend court to-day. ~
We dislike to make unfavorable COM
ments with reference to the official action of
our courts or officers of the law but the
disparity in the bail required by his honor,
Judge Minor, in two recent cases, is SO
glarlng as to be the subject of common
remark. In the case of Mr.. Talley, charged
with being a defaulter to the amount of
$1,000, the bail required was $4,000. In
the case of Mr.. Anable, who is charged
with overdrawing his account to the amount
OF 81 900, bail in the sum of $l2 900 is re-
quired. We have no disposition to shield
any one from the consequences of crime,
when committed, or to disapprove of neces-
sary precautions on the part of courts while
proceedings are pending !; but we do ask for
eyen-handed justice between all men.

GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN.-The "next

audience at the Richmond Theatre on Sat-
urday night. He consoled himself. how
ever, with the reflection that all who at
tended were {" leaders," and that he talked
through them to the great public. He was
at times quite sarcastic, though, over the
lack of appreciation thus shown by our
people, and more than once contrasted us
unlayorably with other cities. lie possesses
wonderful powers of fascination, and we
seriously think those who stayed away
missed a treat which they may never again
have an opportunity of enjoying. We en-
tered the Theatre after the lecture had be-
gun, and had listened but a few minutes
before we felt a regret that we had not en-
tered sooner, and left with much re-
l%uctance before the speaker had finished.
We We're spell-bound. We were never
more thoroughly entertained in our life.
Train is a curiosity, and his lecture a
medley of good, bad and Indifferent wit,
sentiment, humor, egotism, blunder, truth.
sense and nonsense. We shall not attempt
to describe either, knowing we should ut
terly fail in the attempt. We can only adj
wise. those of our readers who have never
seen or heard Train not to let another op-
portunlty pass unimproved.
