Committee on the Tramp.

On Friday last the subcommittee Of the
| committee on asylums and prisons of the
| legislature, made it's annual visit to the
W.. L. Asylum and the D. D. & B. Institu-
/ ton. The MEMBERSHIPS. r. H. Cox and
w. c. Mum. of King and Queen; DR.. A.
J.. Clarke, of %Lynchburg; P. Gibson. OF
King William; DR.. W. D. Quesenb cry, of
Caroline; Geo. H. Jordan, of Isle of Wight;
J. B. Strayier, of Shenandoah, and J. d.
Craig. of Augusta, arrived on the 5 A. M.
train, and were met by MI. S. A. Hoshour,
the steward of the asylum, and taken
there. The crowded condition of the asy-
lum rendered it necessary to put them
three or four ip a room together. They
made a thorough examination of the in
! stit ution, under the guidance of Dr. r. +.
Baldwin, the superintendent, and during
the day went over to the d. d. q B.. In
ings by Capt. g. D. Mccoy, the Prime. pal.
They expressed considerable admiration
| at the thorough order and neatness Of both
institutions, and were quite pleased with
| the musical exhibition given at the former
and a dance given at the latter, at which
last a member weighing a trife less than
| seven hundred pounds attracted great at
tention on the floor. They left in squads
Friday night and Saturday night. 1t may
be said Of them that they seemed to C me
more on business and less III a spree"
than any committee that has been here
for a long time; and that they exhibited
more interest in listening to the expla-
nations of the heads Of the two institu-
tions, than any committee that ever was
here.

A VILLAIN.-Isaac Richie, whose arrest
near Waynesboro, last week, on a requisi-
ton from President Mcmahon, of France,
we published, appears to have been a wretch
of the worst sort. He is a German-SWiss,
aid had succeeded in obtaining the ap-
pointment of principal of a charity school
at Erlincourt, Montbeliard, in France, in
which position he is accused of d%ebauching
several little girls inJrusted to his care.
The particular crime on which is founded
the demand for his exit addition is the VIC
lation of a little girl only twelve years of
| age named Anna Ulman. The mother OF
one of his victims had died of shame and
grief at the ruin of her child. It appears
that after buying his cottage in Augusta
county he went to New Jersey and taught
school a while, but again returned here,
| He has a wife and four children in France,
| and it was through some letters directed
| to him by his wife that he was traced. file
has waived a formal examination, and will
be conveyed to France. The "Vallee de
Shenandoah" does not seem to have struck
the New York detective, who arrested
Richie, very favorably, as the "Courier dies
Etats Unis," from which we get the aboye
facts, says the detective found Richie In

Stopping on Your Heels.

"a man that ever skated can stop on 'em
in a minute," said old Major Noah at din
ner Wednesday. telling about the roller
skating at the Grange Hall. The Major
knows everything, or says he does, which
is the same thing. and he squelches all the
rest of the boarders that way.
"But, Tom Crowder says, you mustn't
try to stop on your heels like skaters, and
he runs the thing and he ought to know
s.Well I've done it," says the Major,
land I ought to know better than Tom
Crowder or Tom anybody else. You come
to the hall this evening and III show you.'
Several of us watched the Major buck
ling on his skates, nine out of ten hoping
that he would break his neck IN the first
start, but he didn't. He went off very nice,
AID sailed around the hall SO fast that
things looked very unpromising for his
Hell-wishers.
"Now,'' says the Major shooting by. "lll
show you how to stop on your heels. Iii
make apull up in three feet Of the WALL"
He came down the centre of the hall
like an express train.
CLEAR the track cried the Manager.
Hold me- screamed the Major.
sotop on your heels" said his we'll
wishers.
81 c-a-n-n't,'' painted the Major.
sGet the back of your head ready then, .
said a bystander.
There was a sh arp cracking, a wash-stand
flew into the air, and a boy spun aroun
like a humming top. The Major waved his
hands entrea tingly. Mrs. Chadwick scram-
bled into a window seat with two children,
losing the third between the Majors legs.
There came a final crash, men and women
were scattered like leaves in the wind
The Major sat down on the nape OF his
neck, and waved his skates aloft, then flop
ped square down, sticking every bone in his
body at the same minute. His well-wishers
crowded around him, filed with happy ex-
pectations of a funeral, but the Major
bumped himself up N his shoulder-blades,
and commenced taking off the skates.
"These skates" said he. with an awful
wry face, twisting off one, ''are not made
exactly like those I used to-
The crowd walked off, and left him to
periure himself alone.
