RIOTOUS NEGROES.

Greenbriar, White Sulphur Spriags,
Va, Aug. l6.-The First Virginia Reg
iment from Richmond arrived here a
few days ago and since their arrival
here negro walters and servants here
have been exceedingly insurbordinate
and insolent to them. The grossest in
suits were offered by the negro walters
to the soldiers in the dining room, and
sooner than wait upon the latter the
negroes have been threatening to
Strike" Last night a mob of over
two hundred blacks assembled in
front af the hotel. They began cursing
yelling and shooting at every soldier
they saw and so blockaded the front
entrance of the hotel that ingress or
egrets was impossible. They dared the
soldiers to meet them and were other
wise riotous and disorderly. Many of
them were drunk aud nearly all had
clubs in their hands. A detachment
of soldiers was ordered from camp to
clear the entrance of the hotel and not
until they charged bayonets upon the
bowling mob did the negroes disperse
They retreGted in the direction of the
chesapeake and Ohio depot and fired
some dozen pistol shots at the soldiers
Trouble is anticipated as the negroes
swear they will not wait upon sold.
Ter and the troops are held in camp
ready to quell any outbreak thst may
occur.

English Legislators have been in the
habit of pointing to the. filibusterlng aud
resultant all-nigbt sessions at Washing
ton as proofs of imperfect political civil
lization. They have read the newspaper
accounts of these strange American Gus,
toms with amazrment, not unmixed
with pity. Now they know. how it is
themselves. A few determined Irish
men, smarting under sense of unfair
treatment. have, for days and weeks, set
the Ii ouse of Commons at defiance, and
successfully blocked legislation. The
hards words hurled at them by their
angry colleagues and by the London
newspapers bave made no impression.
In order to overcome them, the House
has beeu reduced to the humiliating ne
cessity of altering its rules; and there Is
q painful doubt whether they are yet
overcome. This duel between her Ma
iestyis Government and her Majesty's
o opposition, the overwhelming majority
of the House, on the one hand, and
handful of Irish members. on the other,
will furnish one of the most piquant
chapters in = ,iiamentary history.

RoBBERY.-On Thursday evening the
shoe finding store of A. S. Jones nj the
corner of Seventh and King streets was
entered and robbed of about 5000 worth
OF uppers, and boat legs, and also SIS in
money. How the thief or thieves gain
an entrance is mystery, as all the doors
and windows were found to be in the
same condition, as when Mr.. Jones
closed up early in the evening.
All the stock that was stolen was of the
best quality, while that of an Inferior
uahty was cast aside.
Mr. Jones is of the opinion that the
thief secreted himself in The unoccupied
portion of the building some time during
the AFTERNOON while he was busy at work.
The police have the matter in charge but
no clue has as yet been found as to who
the thief was.
MORE WoRK.-The Harlan & IIollings-
worth Company have received a contract
from the American dredging company, of

A NEW TRADE IN SALTED LOCUSTS
FOR SARDINE BAIT.

Immense sums of money are annually
spent by the fishermen of France in the
purchase of cod roe as tait for the sardine
fisheries. The Governor General of
Algeria has sent one thousand kiloes of
insects prepared and sailed, 10 France as
a substitute for cod roe and the result
has proved so satisfactory that large
and remunerative trade is likely to spring
up in the locust bait between that pro-
vince and the mother country. The Brit
ish consul at Chrlstiana says that the dis
covery lately made in Fra Ice that grass
hoppers when properly prepared, form an
excellent bait for the sardine fisheries,
has caused much excitement in Norway
among the fish traders, as more than thir-
ty thousand barrels of cod roe are shipped
annually thence for the French fisheries.

The government of the United

the capitalists beset Congress again in
1873 and had law made declaring
that silver was not legal tender for

talists again appealed to Congress in
1874 and had passed the very objec-

is FARM ING A GOOD BUSINESS ?

This 10 question which many young
men have long bseu asking. The stringency
of the times and the vast number now
thrown out Of work, have caused the inquiry
to become still more frequent, and TO be
made with Increased emphasis.
Farming has the s anne requisite as eyery
other business to make it good; that is, It
must be we'll followed No neglected busi-
ness is good. There is no kind OF business
which will enable one to step easily aud at
once into fortune. Industry, prudence
aud self sacrifice are the unalterable con-
ditions of success in all undertakings.
Farming offers certain advantages and is
attended by certain drawbacks. We will
mention Some OF each:
So far as health is concerned farming af>
fords abundant exercise. This Is one of its
strongest recommendations for what is
wealth, what even 10 life, without health,
To person fond of natural history and
familiar with the elementary principles of
some of its branches, farm aft Jrds desira-
Bile opportunity for tne cultivation Of scIen>
tiic knowledge. Aud If ones tastes run
tnat way, there is great delight in flowers
and trees and animal life.
As means of acquiring money farming
Is slow at first, and IL never very rapid An
independence aud q competency may be
secured with considerable degree OF GER
tainty; but II young man has an ambition
to possess large fortune he is not likely to
achieve it by farming.
Experience is requisite 10 success in this
as we'll as In every other pursuit, 1t is
quite common notion that any one can
manage a farm but this Is great mistake.
Any young man who contemplates taking
up government land and occupying 1t, and
who has never lived on iarm, will act
wisely 10 first engage himself ror year
with a practical farmer, thus acquiring not
only q years tuition In the business he IL to
follow, but W whatever sum he can save out OF
his wages as a much needed capital
