The Resdiuster Congressional Conven-
vention for the Sixth district convenes In
this city about the middle OF August, and
candidates for the nomination are already
being actively discussed. IL Is not believed
that Mr.. j. A. Frazier will enter the lists.
II he does he will be slaughtered In the
house Of his friends. The Lynchburg Read
lusters have not, imagine, forgotten Fra
zier's violent denunciation OF them last
winter in the legislative caucus, and are
not disposed to forgive him. General Wv
att NJ. Elliotts name Is mentioned in this
connection, and IL Is said that he will be
pushed for the position by the so-called
Conservative element OF the Resdjuster
faction, and that Collector Rives Is wanted
by the Republican element. MFR .P.W.
MorriSs, young lawyer OF this city, and
son-in-law 10 Captain Charles w. Statham,
IS also accused Of having the congressional
bee in his bonnet.

OF the 10 per cent. dividend recently de-
clared i'm favor of the creditors OF the

about 5000 are due to depositors Of the
Lynchburg branch.
The First Baptist Church congregation
has raised about 100000 OF the amount re-
quired to build their new church edifice.
They need $4,000 more, and no difficulty
is likely to be experienced in raising this
sum. The new church will stand upon
commanding eminence at the corner Of
Court AID Eleventh streets. and will be I'M
questionably the finest building Of the lar-
acter in Lynchburg.

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

The Transportation from forest is
nearly twice as great as the evaporation
from an equal area of free soil.
There is reason to believe that ants
produce sounds of such high pitch that
they are inaudible to the human ear.
Remains of remarkable bird of the
Eocene epoch have been found near
Rheims by M. de Lemoinne. The bird
was at least ten feet high when erect,
with much larger skull than that OF
the ostrich, and affinities-it is believed
to the duck.
It is reported that telegram and a
telephone message from Brussels were
recently received simultaneously over
one wire at Paris. The system is the
work of the eBelgian meteorological
bureaU, Herr Van Kisselberghe, and If
successful must prove very valuable.
Colors fade under the influence of
the electric light, as in sunlight, but
NJ. Decaux find that the effect is weaker.
With an arc light of 200 candle power
the influence upon oil and water paint
ings and colored wool seemed to be
about one fourth as powerful as sum

A Lean for Life.

The citadel Of Cairo, Egypt, stands
on steep, rocky bluff above the city
the relative positions of the two being
very much those of the capitol and the
lower town at Washington 1t was the
favorite residence OF the famous Egvp-
tian dictator of the last generation,
Mehemet Ali Pasha, who strongly forti-
fed it and kept a number ot heavy
cannon constantly pointed from its walls
at the city below to overawe the disaffec-
tion which his iron rule inevitably pro-
duced. The walls are still in tolerable
repair, and might give some trouble to
a force uuprovided with heavy siege ar
tillery. Above the ramparts are visible
at considerable distance the tall, slen-
der, white minarets of the Muhamme-
dieh mosque, built by Mehemet Ali.
This is one of the principal ornaments
of Cairo, its interior being decorated
with richness of coloring unmatched
in the world, except, perhaps, by the
Alhambra palace at Grenade. In front
of the main entrance lies vast paved
quadrangle surrounded by low colon
made, which has acquired tragic histori-
cal renown as the scene of the famous
massacre of the Mamelukes" by order
of the pasha. Mehemet, finding in tho
turbulent independence of these war
like chiefs a formidable
obstacle to his cherished
scheme of absolute power, invited them
to banquet in the courtyard OF the
citadel. They rashly accepted the
rteacherous courtesy, and were suddenly
fred upon in the midst of their revel by
detachment of soldiers concealed in
the encircling colonnade. All perished
save one, the son of the principal chief,
who, alone preserving his presence OF
mind, threw himself upon the ground
and succeeded in reaching his horse,
which was tied to an adjoining pillar.
Springing upon its back he cut his way
through the swarming assailants, and,
finding the gates shut against him, took
flying leap from the top of the wall,
height of eighty feet. The horse was
killed on the spot, bpt the daring
Mame2uke, escaping with broken
limb, crawled away and hid himself be-
fore he could be overtaken.
