A RICHMOND EDITOR AND HIS NONE,

A RICHMOND EDITOR AND HIS MONEY
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore "Sun" says:
Jesse Palette was arrested here last
night charged with stealing bonds and
money belonging to Colonel Ed. Daniel
editor of the Richmond estate Journal. y
1t appears that during the late panic Col
Daniel withdrew his deposits from the
banks here and buried them on his farm
(Gunston) below Alexandria, in such man
ner us he supposed would be safe. 1t is
alleged, however, that Pollette became &C
quainted with the place of deposit, and
during Col Daniels absence dug up the
treasure and came with it and his wife to
this city en- route for Newark, Ohio He
attempted, however, to exchange a one
Thousand dollar bond, and his manner ex-
cited suspicion, and he Was taken in charge
by the detectives, who searched him, and
found bonds. &C., worth $500, and soon
learned from whence he had procured
them. Colonel Daniel On being summoned
recognized the bonds as his property
Palette made no denial Of taking the bonds
from the estate, but said he had found
them when digging the ground for garden
ing purposes. He was released from custo-
dy at the request of Colonel Daniel this af-
ternoon, there being no substantial case
as there was very grave doubts about an
intentional larceny.

4 COMMA WHICH Cost $2,000,000.-
The Importance Of careful Congressional
punctuation was strongly illustrated re-
Gently at the meeting of the Ways and
Means Committee, where it was shown that
a comma in one place was worth $1,000, 900.
In the tariff bill which went into effect
August /, 1877, it viii be remembered that
the free list was extended by the addition
of several hundred articles. Among the
number added was ''frult plants, tropical
and semi-tropical, for the purpose Of
propagation and cultivation. In engross-
ing the bill, or in the process Of copying it
for official printing, a comma was inserted
after ''fruit,' and all fruit was thereby
placed upon the free list. The customs
officers, however, not noticing the change,
continued to collect duties on fruit until
the error was discovered. The Ways and
Means Committee have agreed to report a
bill to remove the comma, in accordance
with the intent Of the law Of 1872. The
amount Of tax illegally collected is not far
from So, 1000, 900.

ROMANTIC MARRIAGE OF A SARATOGA
WIDowER.-A few days ago Mr.. j. Fl
Westcot, a wealthy widower of Saratoga.
N. Y, advertised in New York paper fol
a young lady to take charge of and be a
companion to his little girl Among many
applicants was a young lady who said her

replied, s:How do you know that I would
iNave you?" On Mr.. Westcot's return to
the carriage she said she was was satisfied
as to his references and as to all other par

dence of the Rev. DR.. Greer, rector of the
Church of st. Timothy, New York, and
We're married, by her consent, in due form,

A MILE IN THIRTY-ONE SECONDS
The following story of the achievement in
respect of speed in an ice-boat ON the Hud-
son, in the vicinity Of Staatsburg last
week, is told by the Poughkeepse Eagles:
"On Thursday last tie wind blew very
fresh from the south, and the owner of the
new ice-boat Cyclone determined to take
advantage of the favorable opportunity
fol- timing his yacht. The Hudson at thi
point is very wide, and at the course Sc
lected it's breadth is one mile. Havin,
made every preparation for the feat to b.
accomplished, the reef points were shaken,
out of the sails, and every stitch of canvas
spread to the gale. With two men ON the
Windward runner to keep the boat down to-
the ice, the helm was turned, the sails fill
ed, and in a moment, with every inch O.
canvass drawing, she was under full head
darted away on the course, clouds of pull
verified ice following in the track of heI
runners as they hummed over that surface
of the river, and in what seemed but an,
instant, the river had been crossed and the
mile accomplished in the almost incredi-
BILE time of thirty-one seconds, being at the
rate of two miles in minnie and two Sec
onds. Persons on shore compared the
speed of the flying racer to that Of me-
ter flashing through the sky, and watched
her movements with eager interest. The
owner afterwards put the boat through
some movements on the ice, and astonish-
ed as we'll as paralyzed the lookers-on b,
sailing all the way across the river on one
runner, the force of the wind throwing her
over on her beam ends and raising the
windward runner from ten to twelve feet
above the ice. Although but few were
found willing to partake of the amuse-
ment. all seemed disposed to coincide in
the opinion that ice yachting is the most
celebrating of sports, and the evolutions
of which one Of these yachts is capable,
the most graceful of anything they had
ever witnessed"

'sTHE RIaHT TO GO TO, RE
Gently, at revival meeting in the north
part of the county, the exercises of the
evening closed by general invitation to
all who wanted to go to heaven to RISE
The entire congregation, with solitary
exception in the shape of a boy, rose to
their feet. The conductor then varied the
invitation by asking all who wanted to go
to hell to arise. The solitary exception
arose to his feet. OF course the good peo-
pie were scandalized, and the result was
the arrest of the youth and his trial for
disturbing the meeting. But, the court
held that if the boy wanted to go to hell he
had perfect right to do so, an d that such
did not necessarily disturb the meeting
within the meaning Of the law; and, dis
missing the case, the boy was sent on his
way rejoicing Wright county, Indiana, J

A FORTUNE TURNING ON A SECOND
OF TIME.-A few days ago Phillip Stiner,
the Oldest child of the late Jacob Stiner by
his first wife, filed petition in a New
York city court for letters of administra-
ton on the estate of his sister Deborah.
and a like petition was filed by his half sis
ter Florence. Mr.. Stiner willed that all
his estate, on the death of his wido w,
should fall to their three youngest children,
Deborah, Florence, and Joseph Jacob
and provided that if either of the three
should die without issue before their
father, the share Of that one should 60 to
the other two. If the neighbors of that
burning house can prove that Deborah was
seen alive but one moment after Mr.. Stiner
threw himself from the parapet, then her
estate will 60 to the eight brothers and sis
ters equally.

sign of the need of more flour. Let the
dough rise, and do not attempt to mould
it, but scrape out into well-greased round

the ground is dry enough, but not before

rs fast as you plow. Do not wait to finish
the field. We know there is some loss of
time in changing work so often, but its

i;tbor required to prepare plowed land that
has been exposed to heavy rains, and then
had to lie for several days until the sur
face was crnsted over before it was dry
enough to harrow, Our springs are so
short, and the weather so uncertain, that
our rule should be never to leave the field
until all the land that has been ploWed is

will if hulled. He says many of the seeds
are injured by hulling, and the cllaff is a
protection to the youns and tender plants.
