Others having well-roupded forms
These cloud masses undergo sometimes
remarkable changes of shape. often
forming or disappearing in a very
short time, and thus indicating the in.
ferior activity of the forces at work
below them-irl other words, the in
tense heat Of Jupiter's real globe. As
to the actual depth of the seml-trans.
parent atmosphere IN which these
cloud masses float, it would be din.
cult to express an opinion. Wed not
know how many cloud-layers there
are, how thick any cloud-layer NAV
be, how great may be the depth of the
vast rounded masses of cloud whose

hottest from Jupiter's true surface)

ditions. But we can indicate mini

Poisoning Rodents.

In many parts of the West, and
especially in California, squirrels,
photographers and other species of TO-
cents are so very destructive to crops
that it becomes necessary TO poison. or
in some way lessen the number of,
these animals. Strychnine has been
extensively employed for this purpose,
and is generally quite effectual: but u

and set 1t on the stove till 1t comes to

To cool; then take stick of phOSphCr-
as in IA pair of plyers and plunge it in
the mush till the stick has all melted.
lNelting IN the mush, instead of in the
water, prevents it settling, and takes
less poison and is more thoroughly

when swollen will absorb the water,

suitable size to use. A piece It's large

1t IS no reason. because an animal

not been poisoned. | call to mind an

San Diego. 1t, in some way, got hold
of bunch of matches, and though it
seemed to have swallo we'd but very
little of the compound, it was taken
violently i'll, and, every known remedy
was applied and the child partially re-
covered, and fingered for six months,
but finally died from the effects of the
poison. | write this to impress upon
al, who use the drug the necessity of
extreme care in IT'S use; for, like the
mill of the Gods" it sometimes
grinds slow, but nevertheless grinds
very sure. In using it to poison
gophers, dig down to the main run
way, and put in piece as large as a
walnut, and, believe me, you will soon
be rid of them. For Kangaroo
and mice. put itinto clumps Of bushes,
piles of brush or stone, where nothing
else can get at it. The opinion pre-
walls that it is liable to take fire after
being mixed, and even after being put
out, but | have the best of reason for
believing it mistake, having inquired
of parties who have used it for fifteen
years, and they scout the idea.
In conclusion l will say that fifty
cents worth of phosphorus will be
more effectual in Kidding your fields
and orchards of squirrels than two
dollars worth of strychnia. - Cor.

Thc APPROACHING Convention.

We do not see how the Convention that
meets one week from to-day can avoid CIV
ing uttcrance to an opinion on the subject
OF the State debt. 1t cannot afford toignore
the subject, particularly il it should nomi'
nate any gentleman who is not sound on
that question, and who may run upon 4
platform OF his own making. The true
policy. it seems to Us, is to meet the ques.
ton fairly, and let the country know what
is the position of the governing party in
Virginia Oh this subject. Let no one say
that we are Il prophet OF evil il We predict
that, in the event Of the nomination by our
party OF Il repudiator without a platform,
there will be an opposing candidate, and
that he will be elected by the solid vote OF
the Republicans, and those Conservatives
who favor the payment Of our public debt.
.Fhe Republicans can afford to make a
cheap reputation OF this kind since they
pay a small share Of the taxes, and their po-
sition on the national debt question will
naturally ally them with those Conserva-
tives who intend TO preserve the integrity
OF Virginia. Fi'ginian.

The BODY Of James 4. Beck was found
dead near Il >prin" about mile from his
house on yesterday. Mr.. Beck lived in the
Mount licrmon neighhorhood, in this
county. and had held for several years the
office Of commissioner OF the revenue. He
had LETT home on Monday, but about noon
OF that day his horse appeared at the house
Of Il neiyhbor, having on saddle, bride, and
Saddlc-bags, and this caused some alarm.
Search was made, but without any degree
OF success. Search was made the next day,
and with the result ! have indicated. There
were no marks OF violence on the body :;
his pocket-book, knife, and pencil were
found in his pocket, and it was therefore
deemed unnecessary to hold the coroncr's
inquest. g..
AS the excursion party was returning
from the campground at Galveston on Sun
day quarrel sprung up between a young
man named Shelton, Of Campbell county,
and Edmund Fitzgerald, Of this county,
which resulted in fight, and the infection
OF dangerous wound with knife upon
Fitzgerald. Parties who were on the train
say that Fitzgerald struck Shelton in return
for an insult, and that then Shelton stabbed
Fitzgerald in the region Of the stomach with
the knife. There WAS an old grudgc be-
tween them.
Meetings have been held at the Methodist
camp-ground at Galveston, in this county,

WORKING Up THE TEyAs-rACIFIC SUBSIDY.
WASHINGTON, July 3l.-Copies OF resolu.
tious in favor of the TeXas-Pacitic subsidy
passed unanimously by the Arkansas Press
Association have been received here. The
crv for this subsidy has been taken up with
renewed vigor since the late disturbances,
and its advocates are much more confident
than they have been at any time since the
adjournment OF Congress. Ii is understood
that the Arkansas Press resolutions are
the forerunner of similar combined move
ments in other parts of the South. Despite
the troubles in Pennsylvania Colonel ocotts
time has not been SO much occupied but he
has found the opportunity to put in big
ticks for the Texas-PaciGc subsidy at va
rous points. 1t is proposed TO have ready
by the time Of the meeting OF Congress pc
titions signed by any number OF millions
OF workingmen asking the passage Of the
subsidy, besides countless resolutions from

THE RICHMOND (vA.) REVENUE COLLECTOR.
Several Eirginians were at the Treasury
to-day preferring charges against Mr.. Rus
sell, the newly-appointed collector OF inter-
nal revenue at Richmond. A high Trea-
Sury official to whom the charges were
presented stated that they would be inveSti-
gated, but he did not think there was any
thing in them. He said that previous COM
plants had been made against Mr.. Russell,
which examination had demonstrated to be
frivolous and unfounded. He thought it
likely that the objection really was that Mr..
Russell was not a native OF the State. This
he considered unfair, as the Administration
had been very liberal to native citizens oil
the South in distributing its patronage.

THE BRITISH GRAIN MARKET.-A weekly
review of the British corn trade reports
more favorable weather for the maturing
crops. Accounts OF the condition and prob
able result OF the wheat crop have become
more ruinous as harvest approaches, and
their general tenor is decidedly against an
average yield, the complaints coming mainly
from the principal wbeat.growing districts.
The remark is made that everything now
depends upon the weather, for as time goes
on the deficiency becomes more noticeable.
Harvesting will begin and become general
In from one to two weeks. Prices have ruled
steady throughout the week. The receipts
OF wheat at Liverpool for the past three
DAYS were thirty-nine thousand quarters, OF
which nineteen thousand were American.

management. No doubt it did him good
to observe such evidences OF prosperity as
were given in the Conference. lie is an
able and successful executive officer.
While the prime object OF the Confer
ence was review OF the interests OF the
church, yet special prominence was given to
the pulpit, and the preaching was excellent.
Ibe opening sermon was preached by Rev.
w. T.. Judkins, OF Trinity church, Rich

from Rev. i. A. Peterson and Or. Sledd,
and two sermons OF rare merit from Rev.
Dir. Walden. DR. }. Z. Edwards delivered
powerful discourse at the Methodist
church on Sunday at ii O'Clock. Both the
Episcopal and Baptist churches were kindly
rendered to the Conference, and occupied
on the Sabbath. These courtesies indicate
