Just here to convey his tone; and then,
after pause, "a little woman like you!
You will fall.''
"My dear,n mimicked Mrs. Emery
saucily, ssall the reformers were small peo-
pie till they began;n and she signed and
sealed the last of the invitations to the
Woman's Deliberative Committee.
Mr.. Emery smiled, kissed his wife, and
went out with 'syou'll see" expression in
his very shoulders. Mrs. Emery sat look
ing after him, dubious, puzzled, her white
forehead in thoughtful scowl. Suddenly,

and came up on her feet with spring.
Now, if you are to believe Mrs. Grundy,

am pray, now! An actual station, with
batteries, coils and endless clicking, is not

There was something monstrous in this,
you see. 1t made moral mermaid of her

CAPITOL NOTES.

The rumor prevalent that Senator Holli.
day, of Henrico, is a candidate for the
office of superintendent of public in-
struction arose from the fact that in the
Conservative caucus, held few nights
since, in seconding friends nomination for
that office, he mentioned incidentally that
he had been solicited to become candidate
himself. lie is, however, no candidate, or
the son of one.
Members of the General Assembly
promptly commenced drawing their mile
age on Friday. Hotel keepers say that
they do not expect to reap any very rich
harvest from the presence of the General
Assembly. as frightfully economical ten
denotes have been already largely developed
by members. Beau Hiclsman's idea Of a
gentleman was one who bet red chips,
This, like preceding Legislature, will only
indulge in white chips.
All the House pages are new to the
business there is not a boy with weeks
experience among them. Some allowance

lures, of the school fund. His strength

Mr.. William R. Taliaferro, of Orange.
The Conservative Senate caucus lave
passed resolution reaffirming that portion
of the Conservative platform that declares
that the people of Virginia will not Judge
of the acts OF the administration in spirit
Of captious hostility, but deprecates the
passage of the civil rights bill as dangerous
and injurious to the interests of both par
ties.
Friday, House doorkeeper having
questioned Hon. Fayette MCMILLAN as to

Fifty-six members Of the General AS |

The objection urged by Senator Con-

lor is understood to be: first, that Tay-
Tor was for Wise for Congress instead of |
Connally /; secondly, that he had been too
lcnient to railroads who had failed to meet |
their obligations to the state. To-day |
Connally is hopeful and Taylor defiant.

SoCIETY.-This article, so far as it APP
plies to Richmond, is in very demoralized
condition. Many of those who used to be
leaders, yielding to the exigencies of the
times in the matter of money, which is the
trump card in society, have been compelled
to take back seats and sing the familiar ode,
"Thou art SO near and yet so far" Some
of thei + successors, though backed by
money, are considered by the ancient re-.
gime as mere innovators and their preten-
sions are laughed at. Altogether, and we
grieve to say it, society in Richmond is in a
very disintegrated state.
