To the Citizens Of Virginia, and, indeed, to
those Of the entire South:
BY incessant application day and night on the part
Of each OF u.s. and at very heavy cost for advertising
and travelling expenses In the North, we have been
enabled to establish chain of connections directly
connected with the interests OF the people OF the
South especially those representing the agricultural
and manufacturing interests therein, the benefit OF
which we are disposed to confer upon them, and ut
such moderate rate of charges as almost TO defy
competition to the exclusion of low interest, which
we seek for the benefit Of our languishlng manu-
featuring and mechanical, rs also industrial,
pursuits OF every kind. Recent transactions
through our many associations North and West, IN
yolving large of capital induce us, aided by the
ablest and most experienced financial operators In
Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington cities to call the attention OF those want
Ing large small capital to our resources In this d.
recton. Upon large SUNS, generally. we can place,
where the security offered Is ample, any required
amount for period OF years from five to ten, ut the
rate of eight per cent interest per annun with bro
kerage Of 2h per cent added thus giving to the bor-
rover the necessary capital at about S per cent per
annum.
To correspondents at home and abroad, prompt at.
tention will be given their communications by mall

A Iager neor tayI.

The size Of lager beer g~laasea, owing
to competition in trade, has grown i'm.
nensely larger within The past month.
For a time the size Of beer glasses grew
smaller and smaller by degrees until
the glasses hardly held a mouAfal If
lager. The beer dealers praised the
quality of the beer, but the customers
denounced the quantity put up in glass
package for ~fyecents. Different glasses
were introduced, but the new held no
more liquid than did the old Some en-.
terprising dealer who had been reading
the papers found out that in Cincinnati
aud other cities the beer consumers were
kicking just as they were in Memphis.
A keg CT beer cost about three dollars
and it produces about one hundred and
City small glasses, which at five cents
per glass amounted to the sum Of seven
dollars and fifty cents. A Cincinnati
dealer commenced selling two small
glasses for five cents, and he secured a
big rush of custom in consequence.
The lager beer cry of reform reached
Memphis. and big glasses called
schooners and centeuuials, which re-
sembled in size the ten cent " shoo-ay -
glasses, were introduced BY some Of the
dealers. Others had to follow, so that
at present in many Of the leading beer
saloons a big glass is sold for five cents,
to the great Joy OF consumers, whose.
cry is always " more beer" for the same
amount Of money. More beer, like
Meyerbeer, the great Jewish musical
professor, is a composer, and in conse.
quence our reporter, while on his nightly
rounds in search Of news discogera scores
Of citizens ia saloons who are wrapped
in the arms Of Morpheus. This big glass
movement may also account for the III
creasing number Of drunks and disor-
dilies ahich how appear nightly on the
station house docket. Some narcotic
in the shape Of a drug ia put in the beer
by many manufacturers This gives the
beer strength and a body, and it pro-
duces sleep and i~ntoxicatiou. Ia New

BACKUS WATER t
The Thing for Machinery Requiring
Light Power.

The Backus Water Motor is one of the
great inventions OF the age. 1t is a
saving machine suitable for run
ming light machinery, such as coffee and
drug mills, organs, lsthes, printing
presses and sewing machines. Its points
of excellence are nominal cost, conve-
nience and durability, noiselessness, no
waste, absolute safety and freedom from
arrangement. One Of them used in the
LEDGER Office as a printing press motor
works like a charm, aud is indispensable
to the LEDGER job Office, consequently
we recommend the Backus Motor in
every respect. 1t forces a stream Of
water through a hole not larger than
that made with a pin point, sufficient to
run a sewing machine. 1t performs
three times the labor possible with foot
power, and without the slightest fatigue
to the operator, the cost Of water not
being more than about one cent per day.
1t can be applied TO almost every use
when power is required for light ma
chinery. In this city for sewing-mschine
use the cost of water is only fifty cents
per month for family use. The manu-
facturer's agent, Mr., NJ. NJ. Beach, No.
Al North Court street, will take pleasure
in exhibiting and explaining the Motor
to all visitors. No housekeeper should
be without one of them, in fact no one
