WAR TO BE SUPERSEDED BY ARB
TRATIoN.-The Christian Weekly
states that the New York Chamber
of Commerce has recommended to
the New York Legislature the pas
sage of an act providing that any par
ties having dispute, may, by mutual
agreement, submit the same to arbi>
tration, and in that case shall be
bound by the award of the arhitra-
tors as by Judgment of court OF
law. Why not? If England and
America can settle their quarrels by
arbitration, why not Englishmen and
Americans

HAVE Music AT HoME.-A writer
in Applet0n'S Journal adv )eates q
more general and thorough musical
education. He says: THE fire.
quenily adopted plan Of waiting to
see whether children have any taste
or show any love for music, is a
wrong one. No child would prefer
practising scales to playing ball and
few boys, if the cultivation of their
tastes depended upon the whims OF
their everything fancies, would turn
into educated men. But all parents
should first give their children the
opportunity of forming taste, and
for its development trust to the
aesthetic element of their nature"

Danger Ahead.

Professor Kirk wood, who is one
Of our most wido-awake astronomers.
makes an Interesting announcement
in regard TO one Of the asteroids 1t
is well known that the orbits in
which these little Planets n owe are
very elliptical. One of them, Elhra
by name, revoives in an orbit so &C.
centric that it has recently been dis
covered that when it reaches its
nearest approach to the sun, it is not
very far removed from that point of
the orbit of Mars that is furtherest
from the sun. Therefore, time
must come whom Ethra and Mars
will chance to be near these points
at the same time. 1t would be diff
cult to prophesy the result of such a
neighborly encounter upon the PLAN
cts themselves, or upon the equili-
brium OF Jne solar system. But as
tronomers have not yet worked out
the problem as to when the juXta-
position will take place, and we may
safely possess our souls in quietness
while they are settling their mathe-
matical calculating, correcting their
tables, and making allowances for all
kinds Of perturbations. If the plane
tary party should come off in our day
and generation, we shall have an
astronomical event to anticipate that
will throw the transit of Venus into
the shade, and be more astounding
than the presence Of dozen unex-
pected comets with tails reaching
from the horizon to the zenith.

A BRIGHT IDEA.

The Lynchburg Republican proposes
to pay the public debt by bGildng up

ton which, if it were fully carried
out, would very materially aid in &C,
comprising this very desirable OBJ
ject. We do not claim that there is
anything new in the suggestion bu:
old or new, it is worthy u repetition.
and Of being enforced by argument
until its beneficial effects are fully
realized, 1t this: Build up our OWE
cities.
2. Now suppose Richmond was
equal to Baltimore, Lynchburg to
Lowell, Norfolk to Boston, and
Petersburg to Jersey Gity, those four
cites alone would be able to pay Tie
whole public deot in ten years, and
not feel 1t half as much As they 90

Capital idea
Nolg Suppose Bristol was rs Jig as
London, and Abingdon as Pekin, and
Nauburcusvil!e as St. Petersburg,
and Gordonviile as Paris, and Burks
Vile was cqlaI to New York City,
either Of them could pay the public
debt, including the West Va. third,
war interest and all at sight, and
not feel it. We congratulate the
people Of Virginia upon the solution
# this hnotty question of the public
debt, and ate only surprised that a
solution has puzzled our ablest
finaucicrs for SO long time.
Now let every man go to work and
"bu:ld up our cities" and towns, and
let the bond holder be patient till
the little job is completed.
We call the attention of the town
authorities of Burksville and GOrdODs-
vile to the plan proposed by the
Republican, and suggest that they
take immediate steps to "build up
their respective towns with a view to
the prompt payment Of the public
