GEN. WILLIAM H. RICHARDSON edi-
tor OF the Roanoke Times, 10 a letter to bis
paper, speaks thus Of the above venerable gen.
tleman, public servant aud soldier Of 1872 e.:
"We hear there is to be opposition TO Gen.
Richardson for the adju,ant- genaralship. We
sincerely hope there will be no such scaudalou,
competition. Gen. Rich irds1n belongs to 'Vir-
gnia of old and it would be an outrage to in
tertere with him. We hear that Gov. Kemper
proposes abolishing the Office of aid-de-camp.
We think it would be wiseto retain the office
nomnay aud require the Governors aid to
perform the duues of the adjutaut-general.
This would enable Gov Kemper to appoint
Gen. Richardson, and thereby honor himself
and prevent any indecent opposition to the old
hero OF by gone days. Geu. Richardson is one

as follows:
The Cingalcse are most difficult race

Both dress in the same way, or, rather,
wear almost no dress at ALL The hair Of
both is long, and twisted up into knot
at the back Of the head, scmicircular
comb being used by the better classes Of
the males to keep the hair back from
their iorheads. All the men working
about the boats and lighters are in a
measure amphibious; they are as much
at home on the water as on the land
We saw one fail to get his line attended

visitor enter the vcranda Of the hotel
than he or she is surrounded by Il host of
merchants Of all classes, offering jewelry,
laces. dresses, combs fans, and Il host of
other things. Precious stone are found
in great numbers on the island, while the
pearl hcrics supply splendid pearls.
These sellers are the most importunatc in
the world. They will follow you half a
day, pressing their wares until you feel
inclined to resort to violence to get rid of
them. You never know whether you
have paid enough OF too much. They
ask $3.50 and accept S25, and it is dan
gerous to make any offer, however incon-

want the article.

action OF the very organs that caused the cough.
Liver complaint and dyspepsia are the causes
OF two-thirds ofthe cases of consumption. Many
are now complaining with dull pain in the side,
the bowels sometimes costyo and sometimes too
loose, tongue coated, pain in the shoulder blade
feeling sometimes very restless, and at other times
drowsy the food that is taken lies heavily on the
stomach, accompanied with acidity and belching

disordcred condition of the stomach or a torpid

heavy colds, and the cough in these cases be
suddenly stopped, the lungs liver and stomach
clog, and remain torpid aud inactive, and before
the patient is aware of his situation, the lungs are
a mass of sores, and liberated, and death is the
Inevitable result.

BENJAMIN WATERMAN DEWEY, NJ. d.
This honored physician died at his resi-
dence in Moriah, N. Y, on the evening
of January 18th, 1873. He was a native
of Lebanon, N. H., and was graduated
at Dartmouth College in 1919. His
professional studies were pursued at the
medical school in Castleton, Vt. After
acquiring his profession, DR.. Dewey as
sumed the charge of the Academy at
Shoreham. Among his pupils was Sen
ator Foote, who, in the days of his emil
nence, pleasantly remembered his old
preceptor, and sent him his portaait.
The doctor had year or two of proies.
sional practice in Putnam n. Y, aud
then settled in Moriah. Thenceforward
during forty-nine years he was continu-
ally employed in healing the sick of that
town and its vicinity. His wife-Har-
ret Cole-was connected with several
OF the conspicuous families of Conneeti-
cnt. At the time of his death he was in
his seventy-uinth year. DIR. Dewey had
much acuteness Of mind aad accuracy Of
judgment. His independence was re.
markable, and was often exercised in the
maintenance of his personal opinion
against that Of whole council of lis
brethren. 1t often proved that he was
right. His sincerity was equally re.
markablc; and in speaking he was wont
to express what he really thought, rather
than that which another might be pleased
to believe that he thought. The doctor
was devout man and a member Of the
Congregational church.

From New York. - The latest report
in regard to Boss Tweed is that Mr.. Ire.
main and his associates propose to apply
for struck" jury. The application is
to be made under statute Of the State
of New York, which provides that a
%stguck jury may be granted in any case
where the interests involved are very
large, and there is an impossbility of OBJ
tanning an unbiased jury in any other
way. Application must be made to the
Supreme or Superior Courts of this city
or the Superior Court Of Buffalo. 1t is
quite evident that the prosecution do not
mean to give it up vanquished, and that
further effort will be made to convict
and punish Boss Tweed.
The funeral of the Very Reverend
Father William Storrs, Vicar General of
the Catholic Church, will take place at

Although Lord Gordon's famous suit
against Jay Gould was dismissed by de.
fault to-day, it is rumored that Gordon's

is liable for certain securities which he
(Gould)has in his possession, and Of which
Gordon is the rightiul owner,
The engrossing topic on Wall street to-
day was the question whether there was
or not corner in Western Union. The
statement that Drew, Vanderbilt and II,

aud got him short Of Western Union finds
considerable credenee on the street, but
the uncertainty which necessarily exists
as to how much truth there is in the
rumor that there is corner and the
doubtas to who really form the pool had
the effect Of making dealers in the stock
cautious.

APPALLING MARINE DISASTERS. The
total number of English steamers lost
with all on board during the last three
months is no less than eleven, according
to tho Baltimore Sun. These steam ships
were new, but built of Inferior iron, with
length ten times their width. and a
depth of hold equal to their width the
idea being to gain freight capacity and
speed at the same time. 1t is said that
the least arrangement of machinery
makes the vessels unfit to weather heavy
gales. As the English steamers do SO
much freight and passenger traffic, it be-
comes a matter of international impor-
lance that they should be properly con-
structed. At al. events, it would seem
that English builders would themselves
learn very soon the necessity for chang
ing their style of construction, and pro-
viding some shape which, if not afiording
more security to life and property. Such
a record Of disasters is terrible to con-
template. Let us have no more steamers
that the first chance wave can snap in
two like pipe-stems.

& nfession of Evans.

According to the confession of Evans,
in 1898, he stole away and killed little
niece in Derry, New Hampshire, aged five
years. In 1861 he assaulted and cut the
throat of a girl of fourteen years in Au-
gusta, Maine. (For which by the way
another man died in prison In 1865,
he outraged the person of Isabella Joyce,
(fourteen years old,) and then killed her

THE SLEEPING SENrINL. The Mes
Semger in speaking of Col. Veazey's paper,
at the Camp Fire" Of the Grand Aamy
Of the Republic, at their recent annual
encampment, in St. Adams, says: "Uol.
Veazcy's paper related in an entirely
new light the historic incident of The
Sleeping Sentinel" VIM. Scott, Co. X. Sd
Vt. Vols who, as all remember, was sem
fenced to be shot, pardoned at the last
moment, and afterwards killed in battle
at Lees Mills. Col. Vcazy was an Off
Ger of the 3D. Vermont, and member of
the curt martial which tried him, and
was therefore in situation to know the
facts. With the most graceful delicacy
he brushed away the web of fancy woven
by the poet Janvier around the incident,
and while he would not say that Presi-
dent Lincoln did not drive ia hot haste
the to the scene Of execution, he said that
he, though present, did not see anything
of the kind, and on the contrary told how
the whole plan of the apparently impcnd-
ing execution but secretly designed par
don was m adc and executed by 'Vermont's
greatest soldier Gen. VIM. f. (Baldy)
Smith. The paper was admirably pre-
pared, and was listened to with the most
rapt attention We hope to lay it before
our readers at an early day.

from all the information accessible outside
