a Newspaper Invaded by savages.

About s O'Clock last evening the door OF
the editorial sanctum OF the american
office flew open, and two black figures.
nearly naked, but fixed up fancifuly with
feathers, and bearing huge clubs and spears.
burst in with q series OF the most outand-
ishyelps that ever came from mortalthroats.
The editors and reporters who were present
all Jumped sixteen feet out Of their seats,
and their eyes stuck ont so you could hang
your bat on them, and the oilico-boy fed
under the water-cooler. The astonishing
looking beings, with three or four high
leaps and two dozen Shrill howls, made for
theeentre OF the room, scattering papers and
furniture in every direction. Each then
made for a desk, and in dumb show in
formed It's hOrriiied occupant that lie was
about TO saw him off and hammer him
down, and make a porcupine out Of his
carcass with spears, and then tear out his
lungs and fry them for supper. just as
matters were coming 10 a climax another
form appeared at the door and said, "Don't
be alarmed, gentlemen; they're only intro
ducing Themselves" Then the editorial
brain absorbed the Idea that they were the
Zulus from the Dime Museum, come TO pay
q friendly visit. The few stray hairs
around the editorial-room were soothed
down, and the Africans were watched
with great interest as they hoped around,
yelling and whistling aud massacreing
imaginary foes. They were powerfully
built men, Of medium height, the naked
muscles standing ont in tense and bold re-
lief under the gas-light. They were dress
ed in the fanciiul costume OF their native
and unpretending country, their attire con-
sisting Of some hair-bracelets and armlets,
head-feathers, and small breech-clouts.
They carried shields Of raw hide and assc-
gals, and each had huge knOtted club.
After they had danced around for some
time they departed, going downstairs
three or four steps at a time to where
hack awaited them. The american Office
held its oliactory nerves and gradually re-
covered, using ink-bottles for smelling
salts; but Alphonse de Montmorenci, the

The Tide Of Immigration.

Owing TO the severity Of the weather at
sea, and the consequent delayed steamers,
the arrivals at Castle Garden this week are
nearly 5000 behind the number who were
landed the week previous. The only ar
rival this morning was the steamship
Wyoming, OF the Guion Line. The steamer
brought i89 steerage passengers, nearly all
of whom were Irish and English immi-
grants. The arrivals during the past
week were as follows: Sunday, 600;
Monday, OH; Tuesday, Lab; Wednes-
day, 967; Thursday, 106; Friday, 1900; (;
Saturday, ls9. Total, 5,7s2. For the
week ending November ~, 1850, only
nine hundred aud ninety-seyen immigrants
were brought from the old world, and but

Dead DrCnk-HOw One of Two Hunt
ers Baggcd EIimscIf.

A very queer case OF accidental shooting
occurred Yesterday on the Third-Street
road, just beyond the race-track. DR.. Cor
rigan was driving along the road. and
when he arrived near the racc-track he
saw two men lying by the road, apparently
dead drunk. When he drove his buggy up
beside them, he saw that they were dead
drunk, and that one Of them was covered
with blood. He got out of his buggy
and shook the men, but they were too
drunk to speak intelligibly, and could give
no explanation of how the man came
to be wounded. The two men were lying
close together, and lying between them was
a shotgun with both barrels discharged.
BY this time a couple of men had come ur,
and the two drunken men were placed in a
wagon aud taken to Jake Miller's, which
lies opposite the race-track. Here they
were rubbed until they became partly So
ber, and large quantity of bird-shot was
extracted from the face and body Of the
wounded man. They explained the affair
by saying that they had been out
hunting all day, and as they were return
ING home stopped at bar-room and drank
considerable amount of bad whiSkey,
taking q bottleful with them. This they
drank on the road, and, having eaten no.
thing all day, they soon succumbed TO its
influence and lay down by the road. They
had the gun with them, but could not tell
Just how il was discharged. The most re-
markable part about the affair is that the
charge did not kill the man, rs all OF it en-
tered his body, and he must have been very
close to the gun when 1t was discharged.
A large portion of the shot was extracted,
but several grains that could not be reached
were left in his body. Both of them were
young men, and were very well dressed,
and said they were from town, but would
not tell their names. COurier-JOlrndl.

A Pretty Brunette COwhidcs Tole-
graph Operator.

Josephine Buck, living on King street,
was arrested by officer Tress yesterday af-
ternoon, at the instance Of III. F. Denny,
employed in the Baltimore and Ohio tele-
graph Office, Exchange Place and Holiday
street, who charged her with having cow
hided him. Justice Grindall committed
her TO Jail for the action of the Criminal
Court. 1t was developed at the hearing
that the woman, who knew Denny, entered
the office and asked him for money, and
when he refused TO give it she drew Il
pistol on him. He took the weapon
away from her, and she then struck him
across the head with cowhide, Mr.. g..
w. Lombard intcrfered, and an effort was
made to eject her from the office. She re-
sisted violently, and it was found necessary
TO call in Il policeman to take her to the
station. The accused laid charge against
Mr.. Lombard for knocking her down, but
it was proved 10 the magistrates satisfaction
that he merely pushed her in order TO get
her out Of the office, and she fell down. She
is very pretty brunette, and quite well
educated. The occurrence created consid-
erable excitement in the telegraph-office.-

THE WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS PROPERTY
MEETING OF THE COMPANY.-A meeting OF
the White sulphur Springs Company will
be held at the Exchange Hotel here to-day.
Arrangements will be made, it is expected,
to complete the improvements inaugurated
last year, and which were instrumental in
bringing to the Springs a crowd OF almost
unprecedented numbers. 1t seems agreed
on all hands that the north wing, 10 CORE
spond in appearance with the new south
wingand to provide place fora grand ball
room, should be built without unnecessary
delay. 1t is regarded as necessary to give
something of a finished appearance TO the
great pile OF buildings. A new waysidc-
and winter-hotel is talked Of, to be located
in the grove near the depot.
With the western connections of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad complete, as
they will be in few days or weeks at most,
it is believed that there will be an enor-
nous passenger travel over this route.
This new hotel would not only serve as a
railroad-passenger eating-house, but suffice
for the accommodation OF those springs
guests who wish to prolong their stay late
into the fall or winter, and whose numbers
would not justify the keeping open Of the
large hotel.
This and permanent race-courSe will
probably be discussed after certain prelimi-
narics are settled, and in the Judgment Of
experts the course should be not way off on
the Grant farm, but on the flat land be-
tween the old laundry and the Greenbrier
mountain, where il will be easily accessible
TO those who want to walk from the hotel
TO it.
A force OF hands under Mr.. Lister is
now hard at work repairing and improving
cottages and making such changes in the
hotel building as experience shows to be
desirable.
A recent improvement on the grounds is
the removal OF the Maston House, which
leaves an open space between Colonel Pey-
tons cottage and the church, and gives
from the depot an uninterrupted view Of
the grounds and buildings, hitherto but
poorly seen through narrow opening.
Mr.. w. A. Stuart, the president OF the
company; Colonel George l.. Peyton, man.
aging director; and Ex-Governor Mathews,
director and legal adviser, are here, and
will be met to-day by Messrs. John Z.
Branch, A. S. Buford, James II. Dooley,
and Mr.. Bridges. and others interested in
this famous property, which seems destined
to grow in prosperity and value with the
Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad system.

Il. III. Starke.

Death has made sad havoc within the
past few months among good and promi-
nent citizens Of Richmond. And now we
are called upon TO chronicle the death Of
another. We can hardly realize that one
Of so fine physique and such regular
habits should be so suddenly cut down in
the prime OF manhood and the fullness OF
his usefulness.
For many years he has been actively and
successfully engaged in business in this
city, and without stain upon his charac-
ter. Honest, prompt in all his engage
mentS, he commanded the confidence and
respect Of all with whom he came in con-
tact. lie was a man Of fine sense and good
judgment. He was no politician, but
rather shrank from public n0tOriety. He
was. however, for several years in the City
Council, and was the president OF that
body. In all the relations OF life he was re-
liable and true. Perhaps nowhere were
the striking traits Of his character so Illus
trated rs in his church and in his family.
At home and with his family he was con-
tent. Kind, hospitable, and charitable, be
endearcd himself to his family and his
friends. He was man OF strong conyic-
tions, and held to conclusions, when
formed, with great tenacity, and yet he
could bear with those who differed with
him. Richmond has lost valuable citizen
in the death Of +. II. Starke.

MANCHESTER AND VICINITY.

4 Dangerous Confagration Happily
AUerted.- dweling-house occupied by
A. KnOrr, shoemaker, on Seventh between
Hull and Bainbridge streets, formerly the
residence Of ex-Mayor Gentry, owned by
Dir. Frank Marx, Of Danville, was found
to be on fire yesterday morning from de-
fective flue, and an alarm being immedi-
ately given, the Alert Fire Company, with
that alacrity which has always distin-
guished it, was very soon on the ground and
hard at work. The fire yielded TO the
timely and vigorous efforts made for its
suppression, and the house was saved, not
materially damaged. On this occasion
Chicf-Engineer Angel, Captain kell, and
Lieutenant Lipscomb were particularly
efficient in the use Of the apparatus in their
charge. The hook and ladder and the
stream from the Alerts' hose were alike ju-
diciously disposed, and, as the result
proved, were placed where they could do
the most good.

Telephone Facilities. Manchester is con-
nected with Richmond by so many ties
social, political, business, consangulnity,
Typographical, and largess OF other affinity
too numerous to mention-that it seems
superflous to speak OF one Of modern con-
triyance, OF small "breadth OF beam," but
yet all-powerful in the conduct OF affairs as
we now find them. Allusion is made to
the telephone, by which the two are many
times placed in instant iuxtaposition, and
through which what Is known in the one
place can be instantly communicated TO the
other Uira roce and "the answer re-
turned" Not as yet as much ayailed OF as
IL will be, still the telephone, even in its
infancy, must be considered as a medium
OF communication between the two cities
as ''the greatest thing out" And II j..
Over dozen telephones connect Rich
mond with Manchester, one being at the
on Mayo's bridge, IN charge OF
Mr.. Craig, and one at each Of the riverside
mills and at Belle Isle.
