some pretty thoughts well expressed Some fea-
lures Of it are partizan and sectional, but not

THE MAIL ROUTES We publish on first

partment inviting proposals for carrying the q
S. mails in various portions of Virginia.
We ask The indulgence of our readers for TAX

voidable, inasmuch as the press of work in the

NEW YORK.
Details Of the New Syndicate.

GratuitOus Advice TO National Banks.
| NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-The arrangements
| Of the syndicate for the negotiation of the
five per cent funded loan have so far pro-
| gressed that the books of subscription will
| be opened in Europe and America proba-
| bly, as early as Tuesday, Feb. 4, to remain
| no longer than three or four days. The
strength and influence of the parties who
have the management of the negotiation
render 1t more than likely that the same
| will be successfully completed within the
time specified. It is therefore important
that National Banks who are dependent
upon United States bonds as a basis for
their circulation, should take such prelim-
mary action az will secure for them the
bonds they require. The bonds will be is
sued at par and accrued interest In gold or
even exchange for any issue Of fve-twenty
bonds, the interest being adjusted to the
date of exchange.
The Horrors of the Steerage.
An investigation into the conduct of the
officers of the Bremen ship, Argonaut,
which left Bremen on the eighth of No
vember last, is being held at Castle Gar
den. The affidsvits Of thirty pass angers
alleges that the Captain most Of the time
was under the influence of liquor; that he
insulted the passengers and compelled them
to work and that no physician was aboard.
Food is said to have been insufficient, i'm
properly cooked and impregnated with salt
water, and an aged passenger is said to have
died OF neglect. Mrs. Tubslska alleges
that her husband was compelled to work at
the pumps, and while SO working he was
washed overheard and drowned, and the
officers Of the vessel made no effort to save
him.
Metropolitan Mutton.
1t is again asserted that diseased sheep
continue to arrive here from the West and
form a large portion of the mutton retailed
In this market. The disease is said to
arise from over feeding which creates un-
natural heat In the system, and that it Is
very contagious. A morning paper, q re-
porter of which visited several Of the
slaughter houses on the subject, says that
it is generally admitted that sheep are con-
staptly arriving from the West having
skin disease; also that droves of ewes con- |
stanty come from Chicago heavy with |
lamb, and whose carcasses are wholly unfit |
for eating.
Pictorial Sinners.
The Grand Jury Of the Court of General |
Sessions presented several important indict-
ments yesterday, among which was one

cations.

A monument has been placed in Green
wood Cemetery to the memory of the gifted

To Remove Moles from the Face.

Our correspondents frequently inquire
how to do this. We find the following in
an exchange, and give it for their benefit
and what it is worth:
Ladies' have a horror of those black
eminences on the face called moles. Even
homely men dislike them, but there they
ordinarily remain as guides in giving a
description of an applicant for passport.
A mole is a thickening of the epidermis,
or outer skin, probably induced by an
obstruction in the outward ends of a clus-
ter of sudoric ducts or sweat tubes. To be
clear of them readily, run fine needle
through one side to the other. Let an
assistant take hold of both ends of the
needle and pull, so as to make neck OF
clear skin at its base. 1t is neither painful,
difficult nor attended with hardly a tinge
of blood. Next, ligate that neck behind
the out-dragged mole with delicate,
strong, waxed silk thread that cuts of
the circulation; clip away the unused
thread and wait the result. A slight local
Inflammation ensues, which is the gluing
together the new surface of the stretched
skin. In a few days the old offense drops
off, deprived of nutrition, leaving no scar.
Il little reddish by the remains of a sub
siding Inflammation, wet the spot occa-
sionally with cold water. Proceed to the
next, and the next, seridtim. Before
aware of it any mole-disfigured face may
become as good as new.n

A Chean UiSinfectanf.

The following is highly commended by
those who have used it:
Dissolve bushel Of salt in barrel of
water and with the salt water slack a
barrel of lime, which should be wet enough
to form kind of paste. For the purpose
of disinfectant, this homemade chloride
of lime is nearly as good as that purchased
at the shops and drug stores. Use it freely
about sinks, cellars, cutters and outhouses,
and in this way prevent sickness, suffering
and expense.

Young AIfaro not President.


HERALD reporter called yesterday afternoon
on Senior Ignacio de AIfaro, brother OF the dead
patriot, and secretary to General Quesada. He
pronounced as highly absurd the report in the
papers that his brother Pedro had been sent to
Cuba for the purpose OF assuming the Presidency.
President OF the Republic OF Cuba is, like Pres-
dent OF the United States, elected by the people
and not sent like a Captain General from Spain.
His brother had an important position, but OF what
nature Senior de Afaro did not feel at liberty TO say,
for If known 1t would serve the purposes OF the
additional forty-elght executions was unfortu.
nately too true and believed that all the remainder
OF the expedition would be shot, II they had not al
ready been executed. Senor de Alfaro added 81
cannot give you list OF the crew and passengers OF
the VIrgnus, neither can General Quesada. The
Jamaica. The Virginius was TO 60 to several
places TO take passengers but we have
NOT YET RECEIVED ANY INTELLIGENCE
from those points, Possibly several OF those who
lett New York to embark in the Virglnus in
Jamaica remained at Kingston. Among the crew
purser on board; Mr. F. F. Chamberlain, the first
engineer, who Is an American citizen, though a
native OF Santiago de Cuba. He was middle
aged gentleman, highly respected IN his native city,
Mr.. Pochet, the second engineer also native OF
Santiago de Cuba and son OF the railroad
manager OF that place, is probably included among
the crew executed.
Among the Cuban passengers who have been
shot is, undoubtedly, Lieutenant Colonel santa
Rosa, the American citizen who was liberated q
few months ago from spanish dungeon at the re-
quest OF the United states government, and per-
haps the son OF General Quesada Herminio who
was only seventeen years OF age, and left school
but . few months ago.
