RICHMOND, January Is, 1875

RICHMOND, January Is, 1919.
Let me beg the citizens Of Richmono,
through, your columns, to prevent by
i n,ompt measures the suffering entatied
ilpon the Iaboring classes and the poor by
the want Of water. The law is to pay every
six months. No fractional part taken. NO
neighbor can give another water. II knoW.'
the giver is fined $40. II not PAID IN SO
many days It is cut off. Hundreds are ou !,
OF employment; hundreds are drawing haii
wages. They must see their children Writ
bread, and even water. AZ.
The Sanitary Committee requires tua'
water must be coursing through our city.
"Pneumonia" is now in our midst 1rom {,
the wet winter and want OF sun. Lei
styphoid pneumonia" make ITS appear
anse. as it did few years ago on the James,
river plantations, and who can be oiamea
them The poor OF Richmond need water;
The Council must do something. l carrieu y
down 81 and begged them to take It. All
or none' was the reply, and not having
the rest the water was cut Off.
Our correspondent calls upon the city TO
sink wells! A much cheaper plan would be
to let the poor have water out OF the n.y.
dran,s. But the only practicable remedy
is to have the water bills paid quarterly and
so divided as to make each payment small.

better come home and look after
his daughter. He returned imme-
diately. On Sunday last he at
tended church, and here occurred
a strange scene. The congrega-
ton had just concluded the singing
Of the first hymn when he arose in
his pew, took out his watch and adj
dressing the clergyman, exclaimed ;
"phere is a devil in this church,
and | give him just five minutes to
live J ~ At the same time he drew
a revolver and pointed it at a lady
Sitting in a pew in front of him.
The lady was the mother of the
young man who had eloped with
and married the others daughter.
The woman, acting under an i'm
pulse of discretion, left the church,
and things settled down again to a
quiet state of affairs. Nothing
further has been done about the
matter, though the whole COM
munity have made it subject of
common talk. 1t seems that the
man who feels so deeply aggrieved
at what had previously taken place
supposed that the elopement was
instigated by the young mans
mother.

Wit on the sencn.

A London correspondent says:
There has been an impression
that the humorous judges and those
with some flavor about them have
passed away with Maule and West
bury, and that the bench is more
and more occupied with dry per-
functionaries. But some little in
cidents have recently sent smile
or two around the courts which
seem to warrant a more hopeful
view. The other day lawyer was
arguing before Baron H, and
assumed a laughing tone at the
case of'his opponent, giving a little
litter at each statement, as if the
opposite side were too preposterous
to be considered. The Judge pres
emily leaned forward and gently
interrupted the barriSter with
I" Mr.. IL, | am at a loss to un-
derstand why you use this triumph
ant tone. OF course, if there were
q jury present l should not say a
word, but you surely don't expect
that tone to have any effect on
me-" The barrister was funereal
during the rest Of his speech. In
another case Baron G. was listen
ing to a barrister who seemed dis
posed to indulge not only in
length but eloquence. The Judge
interrupted, saying, "Mr. -, is
your client in court?' The bar
rister looked around and said, "He
was here moment ago, your lord
ship, but seems to have gone"
"Then," asked the Judge appeal
ingly, couldn't you spare me all
this?" The court room of Mr..
Justice B. was the scene of rather
an alarming outburst of feeling on
the part of the Judge. A case
came before him presenting a com
bination Of every kind of villainy
in the defendant, and as the clear
evidence came out the Judge grew
red and white, and was fairly boil
ing when the time came to charge
the jury. Gentlemen of the jury, f"
said the judge, sit is a perfectly
clear case; and a most nefarious one.
The defendant has unquestionably
robbed the plaintiff, and has basely
betrayed his daughter and aban-
doned her in a foreign land. II
only wish it had been my daughter. ="
The lawyers gasped as this thunder
rolled, and beheld the irate Judge
shaking his fist across the room at
the covering caitiff.

Chicago Journal.l
Many of the people from the rural
districts who have attended the
meetings have met with quite a dis
appointment. Instead of finding
in Mr.. Moody a ranting stage-strut-
ter, they have found a quiet, but
earnest, aflectionate, impressive
man. Some people had conceived
a sort Of John B. Cough in Mr..
Moody, who would entertain his
hearers in a singular slam.bang,
blble-pounding style, and waltz on
the platform with his hands under
his coat tail, gyrating and perspir-
ing in the most frantic manner.
Mr.. Moody's preaching is we'll liked
by the country people, because he
talks SO plain and sympathetic, and
right from the heart, instead of
from the head. Mr.. Moody saws
the reason there is no live religion
in Boston is because the ministers
are all book Christians. They write
their sermons and give their hear
ers the contents of their heads, in
stead Of their hearts, and if the
ministers had much of the love of
God in their hearts, they would be
able to talk ex tempore instead of
being compelled to read their SER
mons as school girl would an essay
on defamation day. The only
Episcopal clergyman who has yet
attended the Tabernacle meetings
is the Rev. Phillips Brooks, of the
Trinity church, and Mr.. Moody at
tended a service at Mr.. Brooks
church last Sunday, by way of re-
cprocating the favor.

years of age, who lived together for
mutual support. They were both
active in limb, and had walked
over a mile to visit the dispensary.
The elder sister of eighty-four lost
an eye from accident many wears
since. The younger of eighty lost
both eyes from inflammation forty
years ago, so that for half her long
life she had been totally blind. One
eye, and that crippled one, did
the family work, except the sewing,
which was done by the blind sister
for both parties. She retained such
delicacy of touch even in her old
age that she could thread an ordi-
nary sized needle with ease, and
even a fine one after few efforts.
Her method Of threading reversed
that commonly adopted. Having
cut off squarely the end of the
thread she held it fixed between her
fingers and brought the eye of the
needle up to it, and often at the
first trial would pass the end of the
thread through the eye.

m: MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 5, 1877,

to the astonishment of the king,
who was present, stood firm.
"Why does your regiment hesi-
tate ?" inquired Charles of Gen.
Monk.
/" May it please your majesty, {"
said the stern old soldier, lowering
the point of his sword, "the Cold.
streamers are your majesty's deyo-
ted servants; but after the service
they have had the honor of render
ing to your highness, they cannot
consent to be second to any corps
in your majesty's service"
And they are right" said the
king; "they shall be second to
none. Let them take up their
arms as my Coldstream regiment
of footguards."
Monk rode back to the line and
communicated the kings decision
to the regiment. It had magical
effect. The arms were instantly
raised amid frantic cries of Long
live the king p Since this event
the motto Of the Coldstream guards
has been "Nulli Secundus sec
ond to none.
The regiment has had a part in
every important campaign which
has taken place during the two hun
dred and twenty-six years of its
existence, and has on many occa-
sionS greatly distinguished itself.
Its colors bear the words Lincelles,
Egypt with the Sphinx, Talavera,
Sarrosa, Peninsula, Waterloo, AL
ma, Inkerma and SebaStopol. And
the badge of the regiment is the
star of Brunswick with the garter
and motto, "Honi soft qui NAL Y
pense."
AT the battle of Fontenoy oc-
CURED that eyer-memorable scene,
when for the first time the English
and French guards found them
selves face to face, and both corps
hesitated, from noble sense of
chivalry, to commence the attack.
At length, Lord Charles Hay, a
captain of the English guards,
called out: Gentlemen of the
French guards, fire p But with
characteristic courtesy and sang
froid the French commander re-
piled: Gentlemen, we never fire
first fire Won first2p
