The Boom in Prices.

Some of the present advanced prices
In trade are amply outrageous, and can
not, and will not be permanent. Ex-
treme depression has begotten extreme
imitation, and spectators are in many
instances roosting on rotten, though
elevated limbs. The Nashville AMERI-
CAN so aptly expresses our impression
that we copy its article. Here it is:
When the business boom is over or has
settled down into something more solid
and lasting, will ii be found to have ben
eftted anybody very much? Prices are
high in some cases and altogether 1t is
the case that a man has to pay at least
as much more for what he buys as he
receives for what he sells. The boom is
really very likely to be one of those mi
nor inflated periods which follow great
imitation and panics. The attainment Of
resumption In England was followed by
Just such boom which lasted for three
or four years and was in turn followed
by panic and long period of distress.
In the case, however, the subsequent
distress was exaggerated and partly Gre
ated by the wild speculations in South
American mining lands. With us the
movement is healthy, but little cxag-
gerated, and unless in some railway
stocks exhibits no abormal symptoms,
but there is an element Of oyer-reaching
In II all which presages fall after q
while. The measure Of prices will be,
when we have reached thoroughly sound
health, about the ante-war prices.

Excitement Among the Ele-
plants.

The elephant tribe that witnessed the
birth of the first of the kind born In
captivity, seem to have been as much
excited thereat as the press of the coun-
try.
When the little elephant was born In
the Philadelphia circus on Wednesday,
the other elephants threw up their
trunks and danced around rs far MS their
chains would let them, and altogether
raised such hubbub that the mother
became frantic. She picked up the baby
with her trunk aud threw It about twen-
ty yards across the stable. Il fell near
a stove. Then Hebe broke her chains
with terrific plunge, and followed af-
ter the little one. She tore down the
railing that was around the stove and
gave the stove itself blow thrt demol-
ished the pipe. But about the lime Stu
art Craven. the trainer, arrived. The
watchman had sent for him in post-haste
when the baby was born. Craven camc
lust in time for under his dlrec-
tion and through the influence of his
voice on Hebe, she was quieted and &C.
cured with chains again. The little ele-
phant measured 3b inches In height, and
weighed just 2l3lS pounds when born.
Her trunk is rather stumpy, hut In other
respects she is perfectly developed.

Another Lynching in Va.

A correspondent of the State gives the
following account Of the lynching Of a
negro near Honeyvillc, Page county, for
the brutal murder of q little child: "It
appears that the negro, whose name was
James Brown. had been employed on
the farm of Mr.. Hillard, near Honey
Vile. One of Mr.. Hlllarl's children, n
boy three or four years of age, had form
ed an extraordinary attachment for the
negro, and was In the habit Of following
him to the woods, where he was at work
splitting rails, On Friday last the child
followed Brown Into the woods, and it
Is supposed the negro became annoyed
at his caresses, and, seizing the little fell
low, threw him to the ground, aud with
couple Of stones literally crushed his
skull to pieces. After committing the
brutal crime the murderer fled. The
corpse of the little victim was found soon
after, and n number Of citizens promptly
pursued the murderer. He was
captured the same day, and confesslng
the crime wa, notified that he had but n
short time to live. lie begged for mercy
but was told to make his prayers brief,
aud arrangements were quickly made
for his execution. A rope was passed
over n tree alongside the banks Of the
Shenandoah river and the other end fas-
tened around the neck of the murderer.
willing hands drew the rope tout, and
in few moments the wretch was strug-
Cling In mid air. The corpse was left
hanging, but was subsequently cut down
and buried by the authorities. The
crime was 30 cold-blooded aud airoclous

circumstances the people were justified

1t proposes, he says, to build a road
from Gloucester Point to Richmond,
thence on the south of the James to
Lynchburg and to Cumberland Gap,
where it is to connect with the Kentucky
system of roads. Senator c. Il. Smith

According to our information, the
Kentucky Air Line will run from Rich
mond to Cumberland Court House,
Buckingham Court House, Amherst
Court House, and thence on as directly
as possible to Craig county. AS we stat
ed before, this railroad will be part of a
Southern Pacific line through Arizona
to San Francisco. Twelve hundred
miles of the Pacific end of the road are
already running and work is to begin
Immediately on the Virginia end. The
prospects are that ten years hence three
Southern Pacific railroads will start
from Richmond. The Southside is de-
termined to be covered with railroads.

Bristol and Bristol -Goodson
and Their Schools.
From the sullins College SUNBEAM

In 1867, and prior to the demise Of
Rev. James King he donated to King
College about so acres Of ground and a
good brick house and lot, which was and
Ia the foundation Of that institutlon.-
Previous to this time there existed Good
son Academy and several primary
schools, principally In private houses,
and Il could hardly be said that there
was Public School In the towns nam
ed. One of these schools was taught in
what Is now known as the Keller brick
residence, on West Main Street, by Mrs.
Chanceaulme for about three MONTHS
Shortly after the closing OF this short
term, which Is now something over ten
years ago, It was suggested by Mr.. w.
w. James, In q conversation with Mr..
j. r. Crumley, that inasmuch as the
Presbyterians were about to establish
King College, for the education Of the
boys and youths OF this community, II
would be proper for the Methodisis to
undertake the responsibility Of furnish
Ing TO this community good Public
School for the education Of the girls and
young. ladies. The suggestion thus
made by Mr.. James, met prompt re-
sponse IN the mind Of Mr.. Crumley, and
after consultation In regard to the mat
ter, they agreed to cnll on Mrs. Chan
ceaulme at the residence Of her brother
in-law, Mr.. I. G. Fowler; and after de-
falling TO her their plans In regard to the
school and soliciting her to take Initiate
ry steps In starting the school, and after
mutual pledges Of patronage and sup
port on their part, she consented to be-
gin the enterprise, and, consequently, n
little over ten years ago, she opened her
school with n fair number Of scholars In
the Episcopal Church, IN Goodson. -
This was properly tho beginning Of Sui.
llns lnstiiutc--now Sulllns College.
Soon after the opening Of her school,
Rev. ID. sullins was appointed TO the
Bristol Station, aud shortly after the
commencement Of his labors In the Stu
tion, he was eelccted aud induced to con-
nect himself with Mrs. Chanccaulme's
school as Principal; and the school was
moved from tho Episcopal Church TO the
old King residence on the hill near
where the College now stands, aud u
Boarding House was opened IN connec-
ton with the school. The old King
residence, together with the two small
brick bulldlnge connected with II, FUR
nluhed sufficient room for the school and
Boarding House. The school, up to this
time, did not number over any pupils
under the care OF Rev. u. sullIns and
Mrs. Chancrnnlme. But during this
short period the enterprise gained a
number Of friends aud Mr.. James de-
termincd 10 visit Philadelphia, Pa, TO
zee Mr.. jos. johnson aud try TO pur-
chase from him tho lot OF sii acres Of
ground, then a clover field on the eastern
slope Of the hill IN front Of the King
residence, between Cumberland and
