-Englishmen are growing tired Of
salt meat as a staple of their diet, but
the scarcity of fresh beef makes it
luxury beyond the reach of the poor
and lower middle classes. The un-
necessary severity Of the laws against
the importation of diseased cattle is
largely responsible for this. If one
sick animal is found in a ship-load,
the whole load is condemned and kill
ed. On two successive August days,
two Rotterdam ships brought $3.50
sheep to London. There was one
slightly sick animal on each ship, and
the whole 1880 were consequently
condemned, killed, and kept out Of
the market. This looks like class
legislation in behalf of English land
owners. Itamounts to levying pro-
tective duty for the benefit of cattle
breeders. The importers have FORM
ed an association to secure the amend
ment Of the obnoxious laws and to
promote the importation of fresh beef
on the hoof from the United States.
Speaking of the striped stockings
Jennie June says, with great good,
sense: A lady may wear, as many
do, the finest Of silk, the most delicate
of thread, she may match the tints of
ner dress, and thus harmonic every
portion of her toilet with perfect pro-
priety; but when she wears hosiery
only fit for harlequin and shortens
her dress in front to vulgar extreme,
to show it, there is very little of mod
esty or womanhood left that would
not be sacrificed to vanity and love
of display.

FORTUNATE EscAPE.-we congratulate our
citizens on having made another fortunate es.
cape from that dreadful disease smallpox that
came near getting start at the Dayton mine.
A newly arrived immigrant, about ten days
ago applied at the Dayton Mine and was put
at work. The morning after. he complained
of headache and an eruption in the hair, and
was allowed to quit until he got better. but
instead of staying about town. he boarded the
evening train and left for San Francisco. A
dispatch received at the mine from that city
on Wednesday. states that Cummings was
taken down with smallpox shortly after his
arrival, and is now suffering from very vio-
lent attack of that loathsome disease. On the
receipt of the news some of the boys at the
Dayton felt little squeamish, but 1t Is be-
lieved that the disease had not sufficiently
advanced to be contagious. 1t was indeed q
most fortunate escape.

WORTH KNowING.-Everybody who uses coal
oil is annoyed by the frequent breaking of
lamp-chimneys, and would all gladly be in
formed how to prevent it. A person who
speaks from experience says that the princi-
pal cause of the breakage lies IN the filling of
the lamp. When the lamp is entirely full the
chimneys are always more liable to break
than when it is only partly full. Therefore.
to save lamp-chimneys, only partly fill the
lamp.

know that so far as the Methodist Church is
concerned, its legal title to the property claim
ed is at least plausible, and in all the cases ad-
Indicated. been decided absolute. 1t is not re-
garded as consistent with the spirit Of the
Christian church that the e suits should be
pressed. While the legal title may be with the
Church North, the purposes for which the
buildings were erected are best subserved by
letting them remain as they are.
1t is true that neither the Dispatch, Mr.. 14af-
ferty. nor the indicator can be assigned to
any high representative position, but this is not
known at the North, and their utterances are
taken as rejecting the popular feeling in this
State.
These are the causes OF the prostration of
Virginia. We have the miEes Of wealth, the
natural elements OF power and progress but
we have not the means to develop them. The
North has-but men of intelligence, of social
position, do not care to cast their lot with a
people who tolerate the language and the sen
timents to which we have referred. And so
long as this spirit continues to be inculcated in
the South, we may look in vain for the essen
tial aid that we need. Not only This, but the
poverty stricken pride that controls too many
in the South, is great cause of our want OF
progress. There are nine idle men, to one in
dustrious, hard working mainline consumers
of the one mans production, and these nine
idle men will gather on the corners and at the
depots and spout politics, denounce Radicals
and Yankees, and send abroad sentiment
that is death to the State. They are burthens
to tine Commonwealth in a double sense-non-
producers and consumers, and repelling those
who are able, and but for the incorrigible folly
Of such public ests, would be willing to &C.
operate in building up Virginia, by investing
in and developing her wonderful material re-
sources.
1t is useless to argue that the people have
accepted the situation,' are anxious for ma
tional determination, and willing and DESTROYS
) for Northern immigration. So long as the pc
litcal sentiment Of 4he State is reflected by the
i, Bourbon press and politicians that now leat
} the Conservative party, SO long will the ad
venturous spirit of the country turn away from
our borders, and seek more congenial and less
prejHdiced associations and surroundings.

ANOTHER RICHMOND IN THE FIELD. The
Washington correspondent Of the Baltimore
San Of the 23rd, says
1t was said to-day among the politicians that
Speaker Kerr had entered the lists in the CON
test for the democratic nomination for the
presidency. His formation of the committees
was, it is said, influenced very much by this
consideration, as out Of less than fifty commit
tees he had given the control of thirty five to
the West and the South These are two sec
tions to which all candidates must look not on
ly for the nomination, but for the electoral
votes to ratify that nomination.

Professor WIG. Sumner, of Yale College, in
speech before the New Haven Chamber of
Commerce last Wednesday evening, said
ssWe have dragged through two years of hard
times; we have paid the price Of the resump-
tion Of specie payments. We have gone
through the worst lAfationsts could possibly
prophesy would be the result Of contraction.
Values have shrunk at the touch Of the lack OF
confidence. Paper money is redundant, and
vast amount could be taken out of circulation
and funded in long bonds without the country
feeling it. The rate OF discount might be
raised two or three points. The country is
like a newsboy in clothes much too large for
him. The contraction that has taken place has
been due to banks surrendering their circula-
ton. The banking issues have been reduced
by twenty-five or twenty-six million dollars.
We can resume specie payments because we
have gone through the disaster consequent upon
it. Now we desire to be rid OF this paper, and
we do not propose to aid men who have had no
opportunity to get out OF debt BY throwing
their losses on their creditors. Imitation would
meet their purposes exactly"
