VIRGINIA STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY
MEETING OF LTFE-MENBERs CALLED.-A
special meeting Of the Executive Commit
Gee was held at the rooms Of the Society on
the evening Of the 10th, at which the fol-
lowing members were present: Thomas
Watkins, A. III. Drew1y, Robert Beverly,
A. X. Venable, A. NJ. Bowman, c. X.
Barksdale, S. p. Moore, |. 5. Tower, Il.
ii. Carter, w. Il. Walker, and ". C..
Knight, honorary and consulting member.
The president, Colonel Dulany, being abb
sent, Mr.. Watkins, first yice-presidont,
presided.
The object OF the meeting was to consult
as to the necessity and time for calling Il
general meeting OF the Society for the cleo
zion OF officers and other matters which
now deeply affect the future prosperity OF
the Society. The subject OF the call OF o
general meeting was discussed until late
hour Of the night without arriving at n
conclusion.
Colonel Beverly and others thought that
the prospect of getting any aid from either
the city or the Legislature was hopeless.
and there was nothing to be expected but
sale of the Society's property for the pay
lnent OF its debts. In this connection was
made the suggestion OF the formation OF q
jOnt-stock company, who should purchase
the FAIRGROUNDS, with proper stipulations
a. to the terms on which the Society should
continue TO hold its fairs.
Major Drcwry, Colonel Knight, and
others earnestly advocated an early call OF
the life members together for the purpose
of thorough Reorganization and FOR the
decision OF all matters which might be sub
United for the preservation OF the life Of
the Society.
The committee met again on the next
day, when it was decided without dis
senting vote that the Society should be
called in general meeting on the 10Th OF
April, and notices thereof were ordered To
he published in the Richmond papers, and
also in one paper in Lynchburg, Danville,
apd Stanton.

aTuy WORLD" NEXT WEEK.-The great
sensational and spectacular drama, in five
acts and eight tablearX, entitled " The
'World,v will be presented at the Richmond
Theatre for three evenings, commencing
with next Monday. Ii Is melo-drama OF
the popular sort, and Is the work OF three
London playwrights-paul Mereitt, Henry
Petit, and Augustus Harris. 1t Is claimed
for 1t that, though in large sense spec
itacular, 1t possesses q well-conceiyed plot
and q sustained interest that is never per-
lnitted TO flag from first 10 last, while the
mechanical effects are very Ingenious
and the amount OF scenery and para
phernalia required quite astonishing.
Being highly sensational, much Of its sue
cess rests in its scenic effects. The first
act represents the departure of steamer
for England, introducing a stcam-tug
which moves OF the stage with steam issu-
sng from It's pipes. The second act ends i'll
the explosion Of m internal machine la the
hold Of the steamer Lily of the Valley and
the,burning OF the ship; and in the next
actsis achieved the great scenic triumph OF
the play. The stage is made TO represent
the open SEA, upon the heaying water Of
wh!cbis seen n wave-tossed raft and bear-
my three OF the Survivors OF the wreck.
This is said TO be a striking and elective
scenic Illusion.

on his head that it covered the hair out of

LITERARY lMPoSToRs.-Th impudent i'm
postor is still figuring extensively in Ireland
as Mark Twain. Similar occurrences are
not unusual, 4 year or two ago Il carriage
accident in Il distant city led to telegraph
statement that Il well-known and accom-
plishcd lady author was dangerously hurt.
and exposed the fact that the person iniur-
ed had long assumed the name and rcputa-
tion OF that lady who was at the time in this
city, where she resided. 4 gentleman was
greatly surprised 1T Il Waterng-p place a few
years ago on being introduced 10 lady, a
poet of wide fame, whereas he happened to
be an intimate friend of that lady. who was
quite another person. And in this case so
determined were people in thier willing

high social position in this city, represent

novels, then published anonymously in En-
gland, which were able and Justly popular.
She was for moro than year admired and
respected by many of the best people in So
cial. and literary circles. and it does not an
pear that she robbed anyone OF anything
except that admiration which was in reality
due to another lady. Her exposure was the
result of ali accident. a gentleman who
had met her at a reception where she was
made especially prominent mentioned the
| circumstances to Il friend, who happened to
be the adviser of the American publishers
of the foreign novelist, and who was one of
the very few persons who knew that lady's

claimant was an impostor, and the result
was an interview between friends of the
claimant and persons who were able to
make the truth very clear The shock in
the circles in which the impostor had been
so long successful was severe but was soon
over, and the fraudulent novelist silently
disappeared. .-Haiford Courant
