THE News FROM VIRGINIA. an early
hour last evening rumors were strife upon our
streets that certain set of men in Virginia
contemplated performing some dark and
bloody work in that city during the night.
These rumors were believed by many, basing
their belief upon their knowledge of the des-
perate character of large mass of the male
population of Virginia when they think an
injustice has been purposely done them. Bat
later in the night information reaches us by
wire, that the demonstrative excitement of
the day had cooled down, and that there was
no imminent danger of any unlawful or riot
Gus proceedings. During the day and even
ing there we're little knots of broken men
standing on the street corners, excitedly dis
cussing what they considered treacherous
treatment at the hands of men in whom they
trusted but there were no more incendiary
speeches made, such as the hanging of men
and burning of property.
OPIUM SMOKING are again called upon
to invite the attention of the authorities to
the fact that the unlawful vice of opium
smoking by white men aud women in Chinese
dens is openly practced in this city, in direct
violation of an ordinance prohibiting it. Our
informant says that night after night, whites
of both sexes may be seen going into or com
ing out of these Infamous dens. If few ar
rests of these offenders could be effected and
,aHa If : il han
likely that the result would be a desirable |
one.
DDNT WANT TO TAKE RISKS. Yesterday |
a gentleman was standing at the rail |
way depot, busily engaged in counting ST.. %
which he held in his hand. A friend ap-
preached and asked him if he was going to
Virginia The Intercepted one replied, 'No
sir; this is no time for capitalists to visit that
city, where they talk of hanging us. y The
beauty of the joke is that the 81. % which the
''capitalist" held in his hand was the first
money he was known to have for the past year.

was in the city last evening on
visit to his father, the Rev. G. r. Davis
