tive cfa Blockade Runner. by j. Wilkinson, a
captain 10 the late Confederate States Navy,
and now resident of Amelia county in this
State. 1t contains an interesting account Of
servi'e whose acquisitions for gallantry
and daring we're never unsupplied from the
material always at hand within the limits of the
South, and. 10 addition. contributes many facts
concerning tho late civil war in this country
that will go far to settle what, up to this time,
have been disputed points. It commences With
the secession of Virginia and closes with the
authors arrival at Liverpool, after the Confede
rate flag had been forever furled:
Also Miss Misanthrope, a novel by Justin
Mccarthy, and said to equal any of the numer-
GUS previous productions of that Justly famous
author.
Both these books are neatly printed, and

administration we bid you God speed. and

dent, allow nc to present you to the people OF
Richmond.
Upon the Introduction CT the President he
was greeted with an outburst Of enthusiastic
cheers, which lasted several minutes.
When silence 10 measure was restored
President Hayes spoke as follows:
Judge Meredith and Fellow Citizons-1n the
unfortunate condition Of the weather desire
very briefly. but very heartily, to thank the city
auth orities and the people of Richmond for the
honor Of the invitation to visit their city and
for this very gratifying welcome. The city of
Richmood has double nterest-the interest
that belongs TO one of the earliest settled cities
of the country, the interest that belongs to o
town that has famous history. and also it has
the fortune TO have the added interest which
belongs to city that has afuture. Applause.
We think Of Boston aud Quebec as cities in.
tcrcsting, because Of the historical associations
that ingcr about them. Richmond has that
interest. We think Of ST. Paul and Galveston
as cities rapidly growing, as cities having hopes
and anticipatlons, and Richmond has also that
interest. This country, this central part of the
United States. with its harbors open to the
commerce OF tho world, has every advantage
needed to give to Richmond the leading place
among he cities OF the Continent. If we look
to her facilities and advantage for manufactures
water power, people, materials, granite, mar.
Bile, iron, coa-all these advantages belong to
this city. Mining and manufactures are to
give Richmond wealth, population and fame.
and we look to Richmond as having pros.
rccts quite equal to those of the most fortunate
OF our cities. Applause. In the past, under
the sla7cholding system, the land of Virginia
was owned many in great tracts, with sparse
rural population. Now. under the new system,
these lands are to be cut up gradually, and a
denser rural population will be found in your

THE PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT.


On last Sunday the experiment was tried for
the first time of keeping open the Permanent
Exhibition on that day, with the result of nearly
doubling the receipts Our Philadelphia neigh
bors. we suspect, have white elephant in
charge, but they are dealing with 1t plucklly
enough They have the desperate odds against
them Of the hard times and the contract with
last Summers exhibition. The cities, too,
are empty just now of "A class who can afford
TO spend money in patriotic sightseeing. The
lingering foreign exhibitors in the Main Build
ing have looked forward with hope to the
"many crowds of last September" but they
begin each day to gaze with sadder faces to-
ward the stiles beyond which, like Fatima,
they " see only the cloud that floats and the dust
"that flies approaching.r The apple-cheeked
Swedes have grown lantern jawed with hope
deferred. Scarlet-fezzed Turks beguile the time
by growing muttOn-ch0p whiskers. The beasts
of the Colorado huntress glare with dependency
out of the Chinese cells.

be n cart or a chariot of the Sun. BIT we
fear this mre is very deep, just now, for any
KIND oil snow, however Imposing VI NdNt III tA-
tent. We question little, too, the policy of
this Sunday Opening, as a mere matter of busi-
ness. without venturing to touch at all upon
the moral aspect of the case. Last year the
Philadelphiaus, upon purely moral grounds, re-
fused to open the Exposition, although it was
urged that the Exhibition would be of great
educational benefit to mutitudes of wOrkmen
and their families, who were unable to visit it
on weekdays that such an opportunity would
never occur to them again, and that vast num-
bers of visitors from a distance lost a day of
their time, which was too often both scanty and
costly None of these arguments can be
used in favor Of the present Sunday opening
Tie Exhibition is much more commercial than
educational in character. 1t is to be perma-
nent. aud there will lie ample time for work
men to visit it, and anybody else who wants
to 90.
One reason can be given in favor of open
ing 1.-THE increased receipts-and that we are
sure will not prevail with the great mass of
the Sabbath keeping, church gOing community.
The directors, we fear, will offend this class,
and fatally injure their undertaking in It's
eyes. And this is the class which, after all,
has the quarters to give at the stiles

more of a friend to Gov. Hariranft than to Sena-
