Inc building 10 Of limestone, which Is 10 DC

moderate price, suppose, as nearly every

tho Jsmcs. river granite far prettier ana
certainly more durable stone; but as Co.

satisfy itself with limestone, which It's me-
chauics use well and make quite showy.
Columbus u far ahead OF Richmond IN the
matter Of slreetcars. Isuppcse II has nve
10 our one. In addition, II has TWO rival
lines OF omnibuses, or chariots, the noorlng
and steps OF which vehicles are no greater
distance from the ground than those OF
sireet.cars. On one liue the charge u only
f,co cents. suppose, however, that tnat Is
g the lighting not lthe living price," inoe-
pendent OF the noble INSTITUTIONS the ctate
has nut at Columbus, the city has some OF us
own which are also highly reditable-nota-
Div 40, the City Hall and City Prison. IN
the latter building the criminal courts are
held. / was present at one OF the courts
as a spectator, think 1t necessary 10 ADD
and was surprised to see that u had no par
that Is to say, no space rallied on Tor tne Jaw
yers. The city has a free library ana read
ing.room located In handsome builoihg'
and doing. imagine. deal OF good:
But enough. hope 1t will not De long
before Richmond people commence seeing
Columbus for themselves.
There Is
PINE TRADE
along the Scioto-Valey road II our mer-
chants will but step out and grasp 1t. AT
Columbus about q dozen railroads come
iu-you can move out In any direction.
These people want early trucks from Nor
folk and Richmond; they want conee !:
they want our cigarettes and smoking ana
plug.to bacco. They want agricultural ma
chinery, harness, and hardware to the value
OF millions, and IL our manufacturers can
sell them q little cheaper than they nave
been buying they can get them Tor custom
ers: but 1t is plain that manufactures are
Swinging up in nearly every Ohio town,
and instead OF selling to their people. II is
not improbable they will come down and
sell to us some classes Of goods, at least.
They have corn, wheat, and rye TO send us
in untold quantities, aud cattle enough to
crowd ten thousand bills and fill millions CT
ssomachs, to say nothing OF their whiskey,
meats, and leaf tobacco.
There will be an excursion train from
Columbus to the White Sulphur Springs
some v here between the oath OF Juue and
Ist of July. A Pullman palace-car Is to be
run daily from Columbus 10 the White and
and all the eprings OF Virginia and West
Virginia, and will derive benefits iherefrom.
Further,
INTBEwAY OF PROGRESS,
there is to be a fast mail for the Springs
brought from Washington 10 Charlottes-
vile by the Midland road; at Charlottesville
taken up By the Chesapeake and Ohio train,
which connects with the Valley roads. The
Shenandoah Valley Company are nov run
ming hands )me trains through from Balti-
more TO the White Sulphur, competing &C.
lively with the Valley branch Of the Balti-
more and Ohio. There Is, II | am not mis-
informed, to be more attention paid 10 the
eating. houses along the line Of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio. Some OF them are we'll
conducted now; Others are not whist they
should be. The company can control the
whole matter, and, learn, proposes to see
that In this respect their line is not kept at
| disadvantage.
| In the late summer or early fall there will
probably be an excursion from Columbus
and nearer Ohio cities and towns to Rich
mond. Superintendent Merrill, OF the
Scioto.V valley road, is the man to make it a
success. Many western people who have
determined to visit our springs will not be
satisfied without trip to Richmond. Trade
will follow the travel thus inaugurated, and
we will begin to realize in larger measure
than ever before the blessings which the
senior editor of the Dispatch, ten or twelve
wears before most others foresaw it, pre-
dicted as the result Of the completion Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio to western connec-
! lions. CHESTER.
