Dear Dispatch 1t has long been Won
der 10 us how the above.quoted abomInatlon
ever crept into current use in Virginia among
her polite and pure.minded ladies'. Of course
if they knew the base and impure origin of
this way of speaking lif we are right in our
surmise on that point they would never
more let it pass their lips. But even if we
are mistaken as to its supposed genesis, still
the expression is vulgar. Rhetoricians tell
US to test our figures Of speech by picturine
them to the minds eye. Let US try this one.
Let us imagine the elegant and beautiful
Miss A. twho, they say, has "kicked" " Dir.
b. dismissing her unfortunate sultor by an
energetic extension and forcible application
to bis person of one of her pedal eXtreml-
ties. The picture is certainly not striklngly
beautiful or becoming! Let the ladies re-
fuse, reject, discard, dismiss their suitors to
their bearts' content, but pray let Us have
no more "kicking." We would, however,
connive at, or even applaud, one more kick
ing exercise. Let this vulgar abominatlon
be at once and forever kicked out of the do
main of polite conversation. CESsoR.

THE GooCHLAED CAMP-MEET1NG "A LARGE
CROWD IN ATTENDANCE SUNDAY.-The Me-
thodist camp. meeting now in successful
progress about twenty.four miles from this
city, 10 Goochland county. is being held
upon the site Of the meeting of last year.
The place and its surroundings were de-
scrihed in the Dispatch at that time.
The first two days the meeting was we'll
attended; indeed, it is doubtful whether a
larger crowd ever assembled 10 Goochland
county on similar OCCASION than on Sunday.
It. is estimated that there were over two
thousand people present, about six hundred
of whom were from Richmond. Some per.
sons are said to have been in attendance who
came from beyond the city of Petersburg.
Services were commenced at dawn and
continued until late hour at night, with
short intervals for meals. An ample supply
of food was always at hand. Although the
sun was obscured by clouds during the en-:
tire day. and the weather threatening, yet 1t
was late in the evening before it began to
rain, and then it did not rain sufficiently TO
interrupt the exercises. At the noon services
Rev. W. ". Bennett, D. D., of Richmond,
delivered most excellent discourse, which
was listened to by many with great attention
for more than an hour. There was noticed
absence of ministers from the city, but seye-
raj are expected to be present before the
meeting is brought to close.
All religious exercises are held in an i'm
mense arbor covered with brush-Wood, but
if all the people who were present on the
ground Sunday had been seated as closely as
possible it is very doubtful whether they
could have been accommodated within its
bounds. The arbor will probably seat about
fifteen hundred. There are number of
tents and log huts also on the grounds, and
an ample supply Of good water.
