much uncssintss has been caused by The RED

try is rapidly being settled up, and the early

RICHMoND.-We have reason TO believe
that the liberal and persistent advertising of
Richmond merchants and our earnest efforts
editorially in behalf of that city have been
attended with most satisfactory results
Each season an increasing number Of mcr-
chants from this section have been induced
to try Richmond houses, and they have been
uniformly pleased. There is no question
now about the fact that our merchants can
buy their stocks in Richmond upon as favor
able terms as in any city North. With
wonderful recuperatiye power Richmond
worked out of her troubles and succeeded
in Kidding herself of all these diSudvania-
ges, by reason of which, just after the
war, so much Of her old trade was lost and
so much new trade Kept away. Her mer.
chants are able to offer now not only as low
prices but as liberal terms as can be bad in
northern cities; and this, taken in com &C.
ton with small freight charges and less eX-
penses, convenience OF reach, and mutual
acquaintance, is doing the work rapidly and
carrying the trade OF this valuable section to
Richmond. This fall her merchants are pre-
pairing for liberal trade, and, both in the
magnitude of supplies and terms, are MAX
ing arrangements that bid fair to give her
great stride forward in the work of COMPETE
ton with her northern rivals. We,urge all
of our merchant readers, as matter Of self
interest, TO give Richmond full and tho
rough trial in selecting their fall stocks

The THIRD TERM BITTER THAN THE CIVIL
RIGHTS BILI.-The New York HeralFs
Richmond correspondent reports an inter-
view with ex-senator Hunter, in which that
distinguished gentleman said: = So
Mr. Hunter: If the South should be will
ing to take the long step towards despOtism,
which third-term policy would indicate, to
escape the ciyil-rights bill, who shall cry
shame upon her if she should be willing to
sell something OF her liberties to escape the
pollution of miscegenation Not l, much

PROFESSOR HUxLEy.-One who recently
heard lecture by Professor Huxley de-
scribes him as follows A Well-built man, in
evening dress, rather above the average
height, rises from the chair and steps for
ward TO the edge of the platform by the side
of the desk He stands quietly during the
applause, which gives you time to look at
him before he begins to speak. So dark in
complexion as to be almost swarthy; the
skin quite blue black where the mustache
and beard are shaven of. Black hair, touched
with gray, worn rather long and falling over
the angle and half across one side Of the fore
head, like MIR. Summers, only on the oppe-
site side. The head well filled out, and with
q singular expression of power, not to be hid
by the careless sweep of the hair, which de.
presses some of its strongest forms, The
face thin, at once resolute and good-humored;
the eyes the most remarkable feature of it;
dark in color, luminous, SO penetrating as To
give you the notion they might blaze fiercely
sometimes, but full of kindness. Very self:
possessed in manner, with not trace of self.
consciousness. The hands falling easily by
the side. s.
You see at once he is at home on plat.
form, and no way concerned about getting
| through the next hour and half, nor his
individuality in the least mastered by the
two thousand other individualities occupied
at this moment in taking his measure. II
may be doubted whether the general sue.
cess Of this operation is great. He looks an
inscrutable sort Of man, should he choose
not to be open, but the main difficulty il
taking his measure would be in the capacity
OF the observer, not in any purpose of his to
4 ;,,xo ha
It is impossible not to be impressed by hes
individuality. One meets plenty of men en-
inent in science, or politics, or other things
and rightly so, yet who fail to come up te
ones expectations. They have not enough
to spare for ordinary occasions. This is moi
the case here. Force of intellect and force
of character gotogether. and behind the phi
losopher is the man-large. natured, album
dant, meeting all men on easy terms, scatter
ing with q free hand on all sides.

Ep1DEMIcs AND B1RDs.-An eminent Euro"
pean ornithologist has just given to the
world the results of his observations con-
corning the influence of epidemics upon
birds, to which he has devoted the last thirty
years of his life. His statements, fortified
by numerous references to facts, are pecu-
liar. and decidedly interesting. The CHIEF
of bis conclusions is that birds like the spar
rows, and swallows, and others of various
species, will leave any city that Is threatened
with an epidemic-as cholera, for instance
and return only after the disease shall have
abated. The author himself observed this
in St. Petersburgh and in Riga in 1S4s, in
West Prussia in 1919, in Hanover in 1850,
and again in Galicia in 1872. In every in-
stance the sparrows suddenly disappeared
from the streets, roofs, and trees of the city,
and few days thereafter the disease broke
out. Within several days after the epidemic
had ceased the birds reappeared. Having
communicated his observations to other or.
nithologists. he was gratified to nnd thai
the same coincidence had also been observed
by them, and numerous instances were sivei
him confirming the fact.

Mr.. M. d. Conway writes as follows from
Paris to the Cincinnati Commercial: =" On
the whole, the cause of the Republic in
France seems to me in declining condition.
You can tell Republican by his silence and
sadness. He plainly recognizes that the ami
mating spirit of the present Government Is
hatred to the Republic. He can feel the I'M
perialiss hand of iron under the septennate
glove. He has distinctly recognized that
Theirs is irrecoyerably gone; that even if he
should recover that" ancient mariner" of the
State the Government would be reactionary.
Gambetta, the man he longs for, recedes fur
ther into the distance, and even begins to
