,riae Sleeping Beauty.

The ladies OF the Benevolent Association
have determined to postpone the spectacu-
lar representation OF the Sleeping Beauty,
notice of which has already been given in
our columns, and to take this means Of
stating to the public their reasons for this
apparent indecision. The Rev. Mr. Rains
ford, whose meetings have been so largely
attended, aud whose earnest efforts in the
highest and holicst OF callings have proved
OF such inestimabe benefit to our people,
has promised to prolong his stay among
us till the 9Th instant, and thus enable us
to enjoy another week Of spiritual edifica-
ton. In view OF this fact the ladies have
determined to fix the date OF their enter
tainment for the evening OF the 9th instant,
this being the only other time when the
Theatre will be at their disposal during the
stay OF the talented young lady who has
promised her assistance, and who, in her
exquisite conception of "Genevra," has so
captiyated the Richmond public that any
thing less lovely would fail TO elicit any adj
miration from an audience rendered fastidi-
Gus by glimpse Of such unquestionable
genius.

Editors Dispatch: Tt will be matter Of
lasting regret TO the intelligent people OF
Virginia should the State lose the golden
opportunity of securing to herself the great
Mccormick telescope. This is said to be the
largest and most perfect retrdctin9 tele-
I'scope in the world except the new one at
the National Observatory at Washington,
and is of Just equal power with that. and
in all respects its counterpart. They were
both constructed coDtemporaneously by the
eminent firm Of Alyan Clark & Sons, Cam
bridgeport, Mass, who bestowed upon
these two instruments several years OF che
most painstaking labor and trained con-
summate skill. In each the oblect-glass is
twenty-six inches diameter; the largest
heretofore made having been eighteen
inches, and the old instrument at Washing
ton (now superseded by this grand new
one) having been only ten inches diameter.
The United States Government paid the
Messrs. Clark $4,000 gold for their teIe-
scope, pure and simple, and without being
mounted. The cost to Mr.. Mccormick OF
his instrument complete has generally been
stated at between S45, 900 and $4,000, pre-
sumably in currency.
1t is believed the people Of Virginia
would sanction and approve the approprla-
tion Of the $50, 900 required to house and
secure this great instrument at her chief
seat OF learning. But write now simply
to make this suggestion: Let the Legisla-
ture appropriate one halt the amount, con-
ditioned (for its payment) upon the sub
scription of the other half by the alumni OF
the University and any other friends OF
the State and of science who may choose to
contribute. Without doubt the sum could
thus be raised. The alumni, Of their own
motion, readily raised $4,000 to procure
the splendid French copy Of the School OF
athens. which now adorns her great hall.
It is true that was before the war, and great
reverses have befallep8the large majority
since that day; but w46h so noble an object
as would now appeal to their State pride
and tilial affection for alma Mater success
would seem assured I appeal with some
difidence, and yet with some confidence, to
the General Assembly TO test this plan by
the needful legislative enactment. w. f.

RICHMOND, February, 1878.

hlLHMoSD3 l. Soi uai AStCs
Editors Dispatch: I have seen in your
columns several letters from citizens urging
the Council to reduce the pay Of city officers
and employees. The utter disregard OF JUS
tice exhibited in these letters urges me to
publish few facts. A short time since the
Council reduced the rate Of taxation from
$50 to 140 per centum, and now it is pro-
posed to lessen the price Of gas fifty cents per
1000 feet. These reductions combined de-
crease the income of the city about $4,000.
Are the faithful public servants, dependent
upon their labor for support, the ones ben-
cited by the reduced taxation? Yet the
cry is, Reduce the pay OF all, and by this
means make up the deficit. The correct
way to rctrench is for the Retrenchment
Committee to examine into the duties and
wages OF each one, and reduce the pay OF
those who receive too much for their SER
vices, and without prejudice do justice to
all. OBSERVER.
