A New Era for Richmond.

EtRichmond''seems to realize the com,
pletion of another railroad in about
as quick time as the Chesapeake R,
R. was given her. The canal com
pany and the Richmond & Allegheny
R. R. Co., have agreed that if the
latter can purchase the canal stock al
a reasonable price, to-wlt: the pres
ent market value, it can build and
shall build the K. r. on the line OF
the tow-path from Richmond to Buch-
anan. The company is to finish 100
miles in s months, and the whole
line in 20 months. The company IS
a strong one, and now only the con-
sent of the Legislature IS needed to
render the road a certainty. 1t will
he 4 quick work and great one. AT
present Il looks well to us, for the ca
nal is a nuisance, and the road must
he 4 great one for the whole State.

80 HONEST MEN

of the city of Richmond, being lineal
descendants of the Patriarch whom
Diogenes hunted with his MONDAY
lantern, have associated themselves
together to prevent REIMBURSEMENT Of
the Public Debt, and to increase taxa
ton 20 cents. They have boiled
down the honor of Virginia, and bot
tied it, as alum mass is prepared, and
each one of them carries a bottle OF
the sacred preparation in his breeches
pocket. They claim to have found
the Philosophers stone and the lamp
OF Aladdin. With these they pro-
pose to stone to death and scorch to
crisp the energies and enterprise of
the dishonest people and rogues who
are now carrying the elections of Va.
Whether they will eat them remains
to be seen, but it would be Royal
feast for those who do not represent
single working man of the State.
When the paralyzed limbs call to
the heart for more blood, the latter
can very well afford to cry out, ''why
do you complain? there is no scarcity
of blood. Intact, l am witness Of the
truth that even a little contraction in
the way of blood-letting is necessary
to cure this over fullness," The peo-
pie who are holding the plows and
grubbing the oaks of the country will
answer this association of gentlemen.

There is something terrible in the
thought of having our friends stricken
down at our side, without a parting
word of endearment or consultation
one moment at Our side in the flush of
vigorous life. cheering our hearts with
their loving sympathy; the next at our
feet, pale with death, deaf to our cries
and needless of our tears. Every eX-
cessive fat person is in instant danger OF
such a death. Seven-tenths of the vic
Tins of obesity die of heart disease or
appoplexy. Adams Anti-Fat, the only
remedy for obesity, reduces the weight
by regulating the digestion and assimi-
lating of the food. 1t is perfectly HARM

With regard to Secretary Sherman's action
in reference TO the execution of the silver BILL tho
Washington correspondent of tho New York
Herald says: 1T is accepted as fact that he
will not hoard the silver he coins. but that he
will coin as much as he can and put 1t INTO
general circulation as rapidly as possible. and
that as this will make a considerable addition
to the circulation he may find it easy to call 10
and retain by the lst of next January enough
legal tenders to bring the whole amount then
outstanding down to the legal limit OF $500, O0O,-
O0O. Having done that he may be able by the
sales of bonds authorized in the Resumption
act, and which, under the Silver act, he might
sell for silver coin. if that were attalnabIe, to
realiz, the means to begin specie resumption.
Whether tho Senate will pass the repeal of the
Resumption act now before it from the House
is uncertain. There is general belief that
many Senators who voted for tho silver bill will
20 no further, and will oppose all measures
looking to Initiation or to repeal of tho resump-
ton date.
