A local journalist of this city, few
days since, whilst engaged in discus
sion Of the woman s temperance move
ment, which is nov engrossing the at
tention Of the entire country, made
the remark, that, IF you weresto
abolish the liquor saloons and houses
Of prostitution in Richmond, it might
as we'll be tarned into a sheep pasture
at once!" Startling as this expression
may seem to the moral and well-dis-
posed portion of the community, it
expresses a feeling or desire on the
part of certain class, and unfortu-
nately not a small class, of our citi-
zen.. thaethese things yshsll not be
abolished.
\ This class who are the supporters
;ssnd patrons of these evil institutions,
and who, in their persons, physical
and moral, are monuments of their
baneful effects, make loud professions
| Of interest in the prosperity Of the
city, and desire for its advancement
but beneath this patriotic outward
cloak the actuating motive is self:
qualification and RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Out upon such a doctrine, that q
city can prosper only through it,
shame and dehasenenA u
Better sheep pasture, than popu
lous city of debascd and debauchet
humanity!

A pelican which had been domi-
ciled in the Geological Gardens at
nRhliR,sfpr. forty two years died
recently. .Phsfbu1dwass supposed
to be about eight years old at the
time of his admission to the gar
dens, which would make him over
so at the time of his death. Every
effort was made to prolong his
valuable existence by feeding him
on live cells and whisky punch, but
old age prevailed, and he died
peaceably on the spproach of the
cold weather He drank the punch
with great ! relish; h fact, lie had
resided so long in Dublin that it
must have come naturally to him,
and this and the live cells prolonged
bis life for at least fortnight.
