Protection from Observation-Disclosures
Srou, Professor Holm Wise.

Professor John Wise, OF Philadelphia.
will please write us letter explaining the
fact that the chimney OF DR.. Taplor's house,
which house is covered with tin, was struck
bv lightning. See local columns.
To Rjchmond Va.) Daily Dispatch:
Your issue of the 10th of May containing
the above paragraph was sent me by my
grandson, Master John Wise, OF Philadel-
phia, which will now explain to you, in
accordance with my observation OF fifty
years on the subiect-matter in question. A
metal roof does not prevent the building
from being struck by a thunderbolt; it only
saves the building and its contents from
injury by the bolt. The metal surface acts
as q correlatipe to the electrical force. A bolt
striking metal roof punches hole through
the metal never more than an inch and a,
quarter in diameter, and it burrs the under
side by turning the burrs scr0ll-form out
wards Or n number examined by me, one
OF them I presented to Professor Joseph
Henry, of the Smithsonian Institution. The
bolt you refer to struck the chimney first,
and hence would not puncture the tin, but
under microscopic examination you will
find the tin sir,geG. And il you will eX-

Since the primary Mr.. I. Witt, one OF the
councilmen nominated for the Second
Ward, has declined to serve. The vacancy
will probably be filled by the Executive
Committee. A ttReformers' ticket has
been put out in opposition to the ConserVa-
tive nominations.
Last night, at a meeting OF the City Colln-
Gil, an appropriation was made for the plIr-
chase Of six hundred feet Of hose for the

II Most assnredly the aspect s affairs IN this
CITY il brighter. There is improved conf
dence In: the promise of future prosperity,
and there Is d brighter hope that makes peo-
Die more consented and adds illumination
70 the public smile. Richmond never looked
SO beautiful before. The new and elegant
buildings that have been added to the city,
and the grading aud other proyements,
including the great number OF trees lately
planted, give to TIA greatly improved aap-
.pearance. The young trees, though not
adding largely to the srborescent character
OF tie place, are highly ornamental, and
will, in time, cast q shadesin warm weather
that will be as grateful to the future inhab-
itants as they will be graceiul.to the town.
Just now the weather, so favorable to
lrxuriant vegetation, has decsed the yards
and gardens with verdure and with flowers.
The5 citizen will find q drive or walk
charming to an unprecedented degree. He
will be proud OF his city, and will likely be
started to prospecting with renewed ardor
and hope.
We Gun say with entire truth that there is
more brightness and cheerfulness in Rich
mond at this time than there has been al
any time since the war. There Is good
ground for it, and the people are find
ing it out. Certainly encouragement and
Improvement could come to no people who
have better entitled themselves to these
blessings By their patience and fortitude I'm.
der seyerest trials, and by their persever'
;ance and unfiag ging industry to meet Their
obligations and maintain their personal In
dependence. This is as true as, il it were
said by WASHINGTON himself.
Itwould be emitting the most important
part Of the lovelncss that meets the passen-
gers eye as he wends his way through the
streets Of Richmond if we did not allude 10
the beauty and grace Of the young ladies,
not forgetting the matronly dignity and
serenity OF the mothers. But it is due to
truth to say that the present time is singu-
larry remarkable for the uncommonly large
number OF decided beauties whose bright
smiles are blessing to the public.
q; So we are happy to say that the COM
meudable appearance OF Richmond israrely
and most brilliantly adorned by the lowell
ness OF her daughters. May they all have
good fortune, and be Blessed with alliances
equal 10 their noble merits. How could a
city be better finished of? "

MAY %, 1878. S
Judging BY the indications to-day the
election tomorrow will be one Of the quiet
est ever known in Petersburg. There will
be no opposition to the nominees OF the
Conservative party, except possibly in one
OF two OF the wards onthe Council tickets.
The Republicans have held several meet
ings recently to consider the ques-
ton Of making nominations, and
committee of five from each Tard, COM
posed OF the most Intelligent men in the
party, white and black, was appointed TO
make report on.the subject. This commit
tee, after fully discussing the matter, adopt
ed resolutions in opposition to making any
nominations and their action is approved
by the majority Of the party. There Is a
minority, however, who favor nominations,
and in the election tomorrow they will be
found in some 81, the wards voting in op-
position to the Conservative nominees.
They viii not be able to accomplish any
thing. ..q 80
The Attorney General having decided
that commissioners of the revenue are not
to be. elected this year, Mr.. w illiam Fl. Har-
rison, who was candidate for that office,
and who received the nomination at our
primary, has notified the Executive Com
nittee that he has withdrawn from the
field. He will not, therefore, be voted Tor
tomorrow. -,
1t fyas the discovery Of this fact in rela-
ton to commissioners OF the revenue that
killed off all organization and opposition In
the Radical party here. Mr.. Steward, who
was a. candidate for that Office.
Mr.: Hanna, member Of Congress from
Indiana, has been invited to deliver the ad.
dress on the. both Of May on the occasion OF
the memorial ceremonies at Poplar Grove
Cemetery, near this city. 1t is thought he
will accept.
The sales OF loose tobacco were very
heavy to-day. The attention Of buyers was
occupied all day at the warehouses.
