sunny, warm day Though many visitors left

place, and Richmond is crowded, and the hotels
aud bar rooms arc doing thriving business.
There Is one innovation that the city has made,
small in itself, yet source Of convenience and
satisfaction to the thousands of strangers who
wonder or sauntcr in the streets ut night, and
that Is the painting on every corner lamp the
name and letter of the street, so that any Que
can navigate his way, aud find his objective
point without trouble.

ln the language of the Richmond Wing, no

the grand grapple between the Radical party

Islands. There was recently official
search for persons affected with the
incurable malady, many having been
secreted by their relatives. Hundreds
were found and put into vessel for
transportation to the leper village
to be kept there until they die. Their
families gathered on the beech and
expressed their grief in loud lamen-
tations. A talented half-breed, call
ed Bill Ragsdale, has long held
high place in the regard OF Sand
wioh islanders. He is an orator OF
great natural power, leader IN the
district of Hilo, and a man of noto,,
rionsly bad morals. He discovered
that he was leprous, although the IN,
dications were so slight that he had
escaped official notice, and at once
gave himself up to the authorities;
A procession of natives, singing and
carrying flowers, escorted him to the
vessel, which was to take him and
the others to their living graves. lie
made speech to the assembly, urg-
ing submission to the measures for
eradicating leprosy by banlshment
and expressing his hatred OF mis-
sionaries.

The Religion we want.

We want a religion that bears
heavily not only on the Exceeding
sinfulness of sin," but on the exceed
ING rascality of lying and stealing; a
religion that banishes small meas
ures from the counters, small meas
ures from the stalls, pebbles from
the cotton bags, clay from the paper
sand from the sugar, chickory from
the coffee, alum from the bread, and
water from the milk-cans. The re-
ligion that is to save the world will
not put all the big strawberries at
the TOP and all the little ones at the
bottom. 1t will not make one half
a pair of. shoos of good leather, SO
that the first shall be rebound to the
makers credit and the second to his
cash. lit will not put Jouvin's stamp
on Jenkins kid gloves; nor make
Paris bonnets in the back room of
a Boston m1lliner-shop; nor let a
piece of velvet that processes to-
measure twelve yards come to an
untimely end in the tenth; nor a
spool of sewing-silk that vouches
for twenty yards be nipped in the
bud at fourteen and half; nor all
wool delaines and all linen handker-
chiefs be anialmagated with clandes-
tine cotton; nor coats made of old
raos pressed together to be sold to
the unsuspecting public for real
broadcloth. 1t does not put bricks
at five dollars a thousand into CHM

nine into floors that have paid for
hard pine; nor leave yawning
cracks in closets where boards

Packages Forwarded Eight Miles In
Two Seconds.

On Sunday, Feb %, the pneumat-
ic mail system was opened for pub
lie use in the city of Vienna, and for
the few days of its working it ap-
pears to have been eminently salts
factory. By this method, letters and
packages not exceeding two ounces
In weight can be sent from one end
of the city to another distance OF
about miles-ln something less
than two seconds, so that, adding to |
this the time necessary for making |
up packages, asserting them, and de-
livering them, the whole is just
about one hour. But this only COW
ers extreme distances, and the man
ayers of this system in Vienna say
that in a short time the time between
the receipt and delivery will be great
Iy reduced. In fact, between stations
only 2 or 8 miles distant from each
other, such packages are even now
delivered within twenty minutes at
ter being deposited. AS the general
Post-Ofice IN Vienna is also in the
building of the general telegraph Of
fee, powerful steam engines are con-
stantly at work COMPRISING atmos-
pheric air in mammoth reservoir,
from which the double system of cast
iron pipes, laid feet under the sur
| face of the streets, are fed. one
system of pipes serves for carrying
packages. and the other for pushing
them ahead in another direction. At
the seven principal stations, IN va
rious parts of the city, similar en-
gines are kept at work day and night
drawing the air from the pipes, and
creating a vacuum in front of the
packages, which are thus more rap
idly pressed forward by the expan-
sive force of the compressed air be-
hind them. The sixty sub-stations
are connected not only with the two
central offices, but also with each
other by this double system of pipes.
The dispatch of each package is an
nounced by telegraph to the othce to
whit it is to be sent, and to all IN
tervenlng ofhces, TO ADVISE Gne laCUoi
not to stop it on its way. The pipes
are inches in diameter, with per-
fectly smooth polished innersurface,
and the packages are made up in in
dian rubber cylinders of various
lengths. The postage on mail mat
ter must be prepaid Il cent J for
each half ounce or fraction, which is
evidently much cheaper than the
2-cent postage for the city letters IN
this country. This is the first in
stance of large city-Vienna has

Pound Parties.

An exchange says new source OF
amusement for church sociables is
coming into vogue. 1t refers to the
pound party. Each attendant takes
to the party apackage weighing Just
one pound. This is his or her card of
admission. The packages are all re-
received by the doorkeepers and prop
erly cared for. It may be pound
of feathers, pound of salt, Or a
pound of anything else. During the
evening the packages are all brought
out and sold atauction, purchasers not
always knowing what they are buy
ing; and herein is found the element
of enjoyment-the chance upon which
the money is staked. 1t is the same
element which draws a crowd at an
unclaimed baggage sale. The pound
party is said to afford vast amount
of amusement, and will doubtless
have a ssrun."
