An Old Virgin.an.
THOMAS RANDOLPH JEFFERSON.

AoNA@h' AshNDoA<A II CisooNs
Thomas Jefferson Randolph, tle only
grandson Of Thomas Jefferson, died at his
home, near Charlottesville, Va, on Thurs
day evening at six o'clock, aged about
eighty years. He was son Of Governor
Randolph, and was temporary chairman Of
the Greely convention at Baltimore, in
1872. He was regarded as most compe-
tent presiding officer, and although nearly
eighty years Of age, was in full possession
of all his faculties. From his illustrious
historical connections he lent considerable
dramatic effect to the position. He was
about six feet in height, strong and robust,
and was perfect type Of the old Virginia
gentleman. He was Jefferson's favorite
grandson, was left his executor and given
control Of his public and private papers.
After the death of Jefferson he published,
over his own name, four volumes of that
statesman's works. He possessed one Of
the finest country residences in the Albe-
marie valley and preferred the quiet re-
tilement of home life to the turmoil Of
politics. At the same time, when he con-
sidered that duty called him, he never
failed to take an active part in the politics
of his own State, but it was with great diff
Guilty he was prevailed upon to accept the
temporary craftsmanship Of the Greely
convention in Baltimore.

A SHOT AT THE ENTERPRISE

The Austin Reveille gets in shot
between wind and water on the Vir-
GINA Enterprise. The Reveille claims
to be Independent in politics, though
it advocated the election of Sharon to
the Senate and entered no. protest
against the dismemberme of county
for political purposes last Winter. 1t
has claims to its independent preten-
tensions, nevertheless. and is not
totally blinded by partisan prejudices
Recently political article appeared IN
its columns favoriag a more lib
eral policy toward the Southern
States. This did not suit the hide
bound Enterprise, which approves of
Force bills and Federal interference.
with the local affairs of peaceable
State. and in its blind fury 1t struck
out at the imaginary rebel argument,
and calls the Reveille its Democratic
contemporary. And now the Reveille
candidly acknowledges that the often
sive article to which the Enterprise
took exceptions was stolen from a
strong Republican paper, aud that the
rebel Democracy was not respon-
sible for it's language nor its arguments,
and concludes with the following whole
sonfe truths:
But the Enterprise is wilfully blind
to all this. In it's estimation a negro,
employed in gambling house as a
spittoon cleaner, convicted of larceny
whilst engaged in that occupation and
sent to the Louisiana Penitentlary for
it, is proper person to represent one
of the richest States of the Union in the
United States Senate. If 1t were pos
sible to place yellow dog to rule over
the white people of the Southern States
the Enterprise wonld gloat over the
performance, regardless of the shame
and disgrace which the act would bring
gu the whole nation Thank God, the
Enterprise is not IA representative Re
publican paper; it isan intransigente-
if we may be allowed to use Spanish
word and, like all fanatics, hurts the
cause which it espouses.

The dress reformers held a conVen-
ton in Worcester, Massachusetts, re-
ce ntly, and adopted the following reso-
tons:
l. That women on muddy walks IN
pants and short skirts appear more
modest than those in trails, or those
holding skirts so high as to expose what
women in pants purposely conceal. :,
2. That the Congress OF the united
States be reouested to define the length
of a woman's dress. the material she
shall use in covering her limbs, or that
it shall pass an act making 1t penal
offense for any Government of1clal 10
deprive woman of any position be-
cai1se she refuses to dress according to
his dictation..
2 That anti. fashion devotees are fol-
lowing in the wake of the brave who
TONIGHT for the pegro's freedom under
the cold worlds ban" thirty years
ago. and whose names are Immortal
lied
4 That the failure of most of these
heroes TO stand with us to-day and
strike for woman's emancipation from
a bondage more crnel and blighting in
it's effects on humanity than any slavery
not self-imposed must be attributed to
the pnrblindness, timidity and conceit
of human dotage.
5. That the present conservative at
titude of so-called Dirt SIS reformfrs can
only he accounted for on the theory OF
of a prescription inseparable from sell
fishness and pride.

NATURALIZED CHINESE


A correspond lent of the San Fran

be informed through the columns OF
that journal Nv neither any Cinnamon
have been made citizens of the United
States since the ratification OF the
Burllngame treaty. In reply to this in

There is nothing to prevent 1t If the

opinion of lawyers on the subject, but
the Virginia Enterprise says: emma
men cannot become citizens because
Stewards amendment to the treaty,
tackled on at the suggestion of A. W.
Baldwin, provides that nothing there
in contained shall be held to confer
naturalization upon the subjects OF

proyiso simply explains that nothing

The Wheeler compromise is likely
to create serious trouble in Louisiana
The colored members of the Legisla-
ture, who are to be unseated, declare
that they will not go out unless they
are compelled to do so by superior
force. They accuse Kellogg Of betray-
ing them, and they avow their inten-
ton to prevent at all hazards the con-
summation of the villainy, as they
term it. Pinchback is especially noisy
and demonstrative, end at this juncture

Ex; lesion of Powde.' Mills.

A Cleveland (Ohio) dispatch says;
The Austin Powder Compapy's mills,
located near the canal, five miles
south of Cleveland, blew up on the 10Th,
with a series of terrific explosions.
The works, which consisted of ten or
twelve buildings, were demolished,
large fragments of timber and heavy
machinery being thrown "a considerable
distance. There were eight or ten men
at work in and about the mills ut the
time of the explosion, three OF whom
were killed, the others escaping with
few slight bruises. The names OF the
killed are Fred. Putnam, aged 80 years,
who leaves q wife and two children;
David Lawson, aged 40 years, who
leaves wife ard four children;. and
August Radcliff, aged 40 years, and
unmarried. The two magazines, In
which is stored "a large quantity Of
powder, are situated about forty and
eighty rods from the nearest mill, and
did not explode, although the roof and
wall of the nearest one was badly torn
by the concussion.
The cause of the explosion will
probably never be known, as the man
at the coming mill, where the first ex-
plosion occurred. was killed. 10 the
immediate neighborhood of the ex-
plosion houses were badly damaged,
windows being broken aud plastering
torn off. In this city the widest ex-
element prevailed, many thinking
the detonations were caused by an
earthquake. Houses rocked and shook,
aud people ran into the streets.
Horses became frightened, adding to
the alarm by their frantic plunging.
Much damage was done to windows.
The large plate glass fronts in Ryder's
photograph rooms, Baldwin's dry good
store, the new City Hall, Cushing
block, the Standard block and several
others places were shattered The
damage in the city is estimated at
from $4,000 to 100000.
An explosion occurred at these mills
three years ago. but little damage was
done to property, except that owned by
the powder company.

ABOUT 2 900 colored laborers and
few whites marched to the White
House one evening last week for the
purpose of making complaint to the
President that certain moneys appro-
priated by Congress for the District
government had been paid to contrac-
tors instead of the laborers employed
by them. The President desired to be
excused from seeing them. The
spokesman of the laborers said this
was the first time in the history of the
American Republic that President
refused to receive the delegated author
ity of ten thousand workingmen.
There was no disturbance, and after
appointing committee to state their
grievances, the meeting adjourned.

The Punishment of lepers is rigor-
ously carried out in the Sandwich
Islands. There was recent official
search for persons affected with the in
durable malady, many having been
secreted by their relatives. Hundreds
were found and put into q vessel for
transportation to the leper village, to
be kept there until they die. Their
families gathered On the beach and ex-
pressed their grief in lond lamenta-
tons. A talented half breed, called
Bill Ragedale, has long held high
place in the regard of Sandwich
Islanders. He Is an orator of great
natural power, leader in the district
of Hilo, and a man of VIGOROUSLY bad
morals. He discovered that he was
leprous, although the indications 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 ia
take him and the others to their living
graves. He made speech to the as.
sembly, urging submission to the
measures for eradicatlng leprosy by
punishment, and expressing his hatred
of missionaries.

AUGUSTA, Georgia, was visited by
a destructive tornado last Saturday. 1t
devastated the country along its track,
and several whites were wounded and
negroes killed. The Grant stump
speakers in Connecticut are making
political capital ont of the calamity by
asserting that it was Kuklux outrage,
and that the killing of those negroes in
Georgia was further proof of the dis
LOYALTY of the Democratic party, and
the necessity of electing the Republican
ticket in the Nutmeg State.

Li.Xiuug.Chang.

Without, however. discussing tae danger
OF prolonged hostilties, we viii glance at
the antecedents OF the man WIN is the
leader of progress in this direction. He is
at the head of the army, and at the presen,
time wields the greatest power in China.
Li-Hung-Chang, Governor General of Pei
chilli, is supposed to be the arch-enemy of
foreigners and the leading opponent of pro
gress. This estimate of Lis character can
not altogether be borne ont by facts AS a
soldier he has done more than any man
living in China TO improve the weapons of
ms county and the condition of his army.
II his schemes have miscarried and his en-
ergies have been misdirected, it only proves
that he has shot too far ahead of the slug.
gish imperial government and the ply
sically and intellectually low estate of his
tolllng c0untrymen to meet with ready and
honest cooperation.
LII Hung Chang, not long ago, when hos.
pitably entertaining European friend of
the writer for whose attachments he had
contracted profound respect, and
while examining q very ingenious piece
of foreign mechanism, exclaimed: "How is
it, cir, that your people seem to have go
pre-eminently the faculty OF inventionl IL
1t something wanting in our brain, or some.
thing wrong in our condition." In the
latter question he had touched the keynote
OF difference in the two races. Whether he
was IoAiiy sincere In IL is Olmcult to say, as
it is almost impossible to determine, at any
time, whether an educated Chinaman whom
he addresses You is disclosing his views, or
srtfully concealing them in polished COM
plimentary phrases.
That Li-Hung- Chang is an educated China
man OF no ordinary stamp will be gathered
from the following epitome of his career:
Li-Hung. Chang, the second of five brothers,
was born in the year Jen-woo, or second
year of the Emperor Tao1- in the
district of Hotel, prefecture of Lin-ch
foo, province of Ngan-whuy. Lis father

he gradually advanced to the rank of
