OYsrERs ON THE HALF.sHELL-

OYSTERS ON THE HALF-SHELL.-
General Wise's oyster fundum is being
brought again to the service BY the people
Richmond to consult and advise with the
members of the General Assembly on the
passage of law which shall be at once
just to the people affected by its operation,
and secure to the state some of the amount
which is due but now eludes its grasp.
The present oyster law has proved prolific
of litigation, and has failed in a revenue
point Of view. 1t is probable that new
bill will be introduced repeating the exist
ing law, then will come a fight in both
houses Of the General Assembly, and we
shall have ''oysters in every STYLE"

THE RUINS OF JAMESTOWN.
jamestown was settled by the intrepid
John Smith, May 18th, 1907, and was,
as is well known, the first English
settlement on this continent. 1t was
peninsula then; it is an island now.
The water long since forced passage
through the marrow neck that connect
ed it with the main land and left it
an island. But the effect Of ,attrition
did not end here. For nearly mile
from this locality 1.-THE noble James"
has been gaining on the land. So
much Of the old town is now under water
and. at low tide, evidences Of this
fact have sometimes been discovered in
the debris that is left there. The old
tower and ruins Of the church are now
less than fifty yards from the water
aad must. in time, be submerged unless
some action be taken to prevent it.
The tower, ivy-grown and picturesque
as it is, lifts itself some thirty-fve feet
above the plain, and is eighteen feet
square. 1t is impossible to ascertain
the exact date of the construction OF
this old building, for it was not the
first church erected there, though it
was doubtless built early in the 18th
century. AS the site of it is included
in fifty acres decided to the authors
ties of James City for public houses,
some steps should be taken by the coun-
ty or state to preserve it from further
demolition, and to prevent it from ever
passing under the absolute control Of
private parties. The island is now own
ed by a New Yorker, and hence the
greater necessity for action in the premi.
ses to preserve this memorial Of the
first settlement of Virginia. -Lynchbury

not lucky enough to get their noses

scale of contribution ranging from ten to
twenty-five per cent.

The BRAZILIAN FREEiAsoNs AND
THE CHURCH.-The Freemasons of Per-
nambuco, interdicted by their bishop
having, like good Christians, resolved to
attend divine service as usual Tho prelate
has directed his clergy to abstain from
ordinary public worship where any of the
brotherhood are present. In consequence,
several of the parish churches are closed and
their male parshioners, whether belong.
ing to the craft or not, and their wives anc
children, who do not, are deprived of their
accustomed opportunities of worship. The
President of the Province has thereupon
suspended payment of stipends to the Wears
of churches they have thus abandoned.

No ONE questions that this is an age of
progress, and that every effort is being
made to keep up with the progressive de-
mands of the times. An effort is being
made to utilize education, and make it
practicable, SO that a student shall be able
to select his profession and then adapt his
learning to it. In harmony with this idea
Cornell University will provide chair for
the professor of journalism, and will teach
aspirants to the chair editorial everything,
from setting type to writing leaders.
Diplomas are to be given to graduates,
which. of course, will be conclusive of
the ability of the fortunate graduate to
be an editor.
