The preliminary canvass for Con
gress in Virginia has assumed a re-
markable aspect. In only one dis
trict will the Republicans make q
contest, for the poll tax requisite

strength. But division has arisen
in the Conservative ranks. The

favor Of compelling the creditors of
the State TO accept less interest

| Warmth to certain extent, is equiva-

few minutes for the operation. And yet
not one farmer in ten keeps sheep.
Do not waste grindstonc by running it
in water; if you do, do not allow it 10

will make a soft spot. 1t is much better
to wet the stone by dropping water on it

What will become of the last man: Va
rous theories that have been seriously
maintained 10y scientific men are described
in the Scientific american. and we s,lmnla
tizc them: l. The surface of the earth il
steadily diminishing. elevated regions are
being lowered. and the seas are filling up
The land will at last be all submerged. and
the last mnn will be starved or drowned.
2. The ice is gradually accommodating at the
North pole and melting away at the South
pole, the consequence Of which will be an
awful catastrophe when the carth's center
OF gravity suddenly changes. The last
man will then be drowned by the rush of
waters. }. The earth cannot always es-
cape collision with comet. and when
the disaster comes there will be n mingling
OF air and cOmetary gas, causing an explo-
sion. II the last man is not sEffOcated he
will be blown up. 4. There is letarding
medium in space. causing a gradual loss of
velocity in the planets. and the earth, obey
ing the law Of gravitation. will get closer
and closer to the sun. The last man will
be sunstruck. 5. The amount of water
on the earth is slowly diminishing, and
simultaneously the air is losing in q,lanti-
ty and quality. Finally the earth will be
IN arid waste, like the moon. The last
man will be suffocated. 6. Other suns
have disappeared. and ours must. sooner
or later. blaze up and then disappear. The
intense heat of the conflagration will kill
every living thing on earth. The last man
will be burned up. Z. The suns fire will
gradually burn out, and the temperature
will cool. The carth's glacial zones will
enlarge, driving our race toward the eaua-
tor, until the habitable space will lessen to
nothing. The last man will be frozen to
death. 8. A gradual cooling of the earth
Will produce enormous assures. like those
seen in the moon. The surface will be-
come extremely unstable, until the rem
nant Of humanity will take refuge in caves.
The last man will be crushed in his SUBJ
terancan retreat. 8. The earth will at last
separate into small fragments. leaving the
people without any foothold The last
man will have dreadful fall through I
space 10. The tenth theory. proving that
there will be no last man at all, is thus ex- {
pressed: Evolution does not necessarily |
imply progress. and probably the race may I
have rctrograded until the human being 4
possesses the nature of the plant louise: such S
being the case. this single inhabitant will
spontaneously produce posterity OF both /,
sexes. n

There is one thing which many people
are ignorant of. and which is of great i'm
portance for them to know, and that is the
amount of Privation. suffering. exposure,
hardship and disease which will produce
death. Tie ideas Of many people on this
subject are utterly vague. On the one
hand there are persons who are continual
~ fearing lest they or others will. by some
excess or exposure, impcril their lives,
while on the other hand are persons, in
telligent and sensible in many respects.
who, with the most absurd and criminal
carc'essncss, do and endure those things
which, by the most simple and unchange-
able laws of cause and effect must procure
death. They work for days and years be-
yond all reason; they stimulate their faded
energies, and lash themselves to endurance.
when SD exhausted that repose is impera-
lively demanded; they eat unhealthy food
improperly prepared; they breathe air that
Is foul and fetsi: they pursue their occupa-
tons in places where the genial and life
giving sunlight never comes; they dose
themselves with poisonous drugs in guam
titles sufficient TO destroy human life; they
70 on regardless Of every symptom OF dis
case, with deranged digestion, diseased
lungs, falling appetite, unnatural pulse.
with pains thrilling their nerves and hectic
fever glowing on their cheeks; they live in
climates which are unhcalthful. in dwell
ings which are damp. where disease riots,
and inmate after inmate expires: until 1T
last, having outraged their whole physical
nature, they die; and the wonder of sensi-
bic persons is that they did not die long
before. Many of these persons might have
lived to good old age If they had only
known how much flesh and blood could
endure; If they had only known what was
safe and what was unsafe. But again and
again persons Of intelligence and ability
wall. straight to the grave. and never know
their danger until the spray of the dark
river dashes itself at their feet.
1t Is well that men should study their
own constitutions, and watch the progress
of disease in others who are around them.
and take notice how often the strong are
cut down in their vigOr and prime. And
when they have carefully estimated their
own powers OF endurance let them take |
heed TO their ways, and not idly cast away
the remnant Of THAI lite which the Creator |
gives, and which should Ike devoted 10 his
honor and glory here, and to preparation |
