The Teadjuster and republican state committees
OF virlEll Ia joint session at Richmond yesterday
nominated Capt John S. Wise tson of the late
Henry A. WiSe) for C0agreSSman-at-large A
state convention was decided to be unnecessary.
District conventions for the nomination OF cand-
dates for Congress- In the several districts were
called to meet at fixed dates in August This
action OF the conference shows that the coalition
lists are d. terInined TO name candidate for Con-
gTess 81 each district, notwithstanding the failure
Of their geTrymander bill. The coalition leaders
generally, IN giving account OF the condition OF
their party in their respective sections, declared
that II lad not lost any strength. In1Smuch as
the conference had nothing to say about the
reported extra session OF the legislature, 1t is
Inferred that the project, II it was ever seriously
contemplated, has been abandoned. The demo-
Crate press Of Virginia Is deyotng attention
10 lir Massey and his claims upon that party than
to any other subject. The Indications are that
Massey viii get the democratic support, despite
the opposition OF q part OF the party press. The
leaders and managers have determined that it
would only invite defeat to puta straight demo-
cratic candidate in the field.
Almost everybody VIII agree With the senti-
mentS OF Secretary Chandler as expressed In BOs-
ton the other evening, that navy ought to be
improved There are hardly two opinions upon
that point At the same time 1t Will not do to go
too fast, nor 10 proceed at all without counting The
cost or every step to be taken, we'll with refer
ence to the money required for each forward step
as what it viii be worth TO the country after the
expenditure is made and the results are secured A
nrst-cliSS modern navy is very costly toy, the
countries possessing those expensive luxuries all
nournIClly testify. The crack war ships OF Europe
OF the present day, for example. cost anywhere
from two ID i've million dollars each, for hull and
engines alone; and after they aioatit costs
appalling Suns to arm and maintain them, whe-
ther they are ever used or not. For single Krupp
gun ;sed on some OF the British fr0n-clads as much
Is $4,000 have been paid, while those OF the Arm
strong pattern cost $4,000, and those OF the Wool
Tieh make $4,000, each and. according to the
Statement OF the superintendent o. the royal labo-
fatoTy at Woolwch, it costs s1275O every time one
OF the guns OF the ''IDflcxibie' Is discharged.
These sample figures are not absolutely prohibit
I've, as the tariff people say, when applied to such
naval establishment as Mr. Chandler proposes,
but they should nevertheless set our statesmen to
thinking When they talk about this country hav-
Ing war ships able to cope with the best in the
world.

A Burglars Romance.
(From the Pittsburg Dispatch. !


There is romance in the life of Hor-
ace Hampton, alias Llttle Horace, the
bank sneak thief, who figured in the
celebrated Safe Deposit robbery in this
city, and who is now doing penance in
the eastern penitentiary for attempted
burglary, which has Just come to light.
Horace, who is a southerner by birth, as
are Walter Sheridan and Billy Forester,
two other notorious individuals, was in
Richmond, Va, just before the close of
the war. In his hearing and in his con
versation he readily passed for what he
seemed to be--a gentleman of leisure.
He succeeded in gaining admission to a
prominent social circle and rapidly
formed the acquaintance of daughter
OF one of the leading officials in the con-
federate government. After a brief
honeymoon the supposed wealthy bride
groom left Richmond to go further
south on alleged pressing business con-
nected with his plantation. Time rolled
by and no tidings of his whereabouts
came to the distressed wife until nearly
year had sped away, and then came
rumOrs, which deepeued into positive
conviction, that the husband was
criminal adventurer, and had been con-
demned to an imprisonment in north
ern dungeon for daring robbery in a
banking house. The effect on the once
beautiful and vivacious girl was calami-
tous. She retired to her room and never
afterward appeared in society. A few
months afterward she died, literally
broken hearted by the Disgrace which
had been visited upon her by her uu-
fortunate alliance with deceiver and
thief,

Army Adventures.

Capt. Ewart's adventurous reconnOis-
sauce from Fort Meks, at Alexandria, in
the course of which he rode ten miles
through the darkness of night accompan-
led ouly by a native interpreter, over a
district where large bodies Of hostile
troops were said to be In motion, recalls
a similar, but even more daring, exploit
which attracted considerable notice dur.
the Crimean war. After the victory
of Alma Lord Raglan altered his plan of
action to one which required the imme-
date establishment of the British fleet i'll
Balaklava harbor. 1t was of vital i'm
portance to communicate at once with
Admiral Dundas, which could only be
done either by long and hazardous
circuit through stormy sea, or by
sending a messenger across a completely
unknown country swsrming with savage
Cossacks, with the risk Of plunging at
any moment into the midst Of the whole
Russian army. Lieut.. Maxse volun-
teered to perform the latter service, the
desperate nature of which was sufficient
ly shown by the fact that Lord Raglan
burst not intrust him with any written
dispatch, but merely gave him a verbal
message to the admiral. Starting at
night, and steering himself by the stars
across a wide track of rugged and quite
unknown country, with the chance of
being speared or taken prisoner at any
moment, the brave lieutenant reached
his goal in safety and the projected
movement was successfully accom-
plished.

Cattle Raising.


The stockman's year begins in May
with what is called the Ground up. At
the close of the season in the early winter
the cattle are turned loose without herds
men, and allowed to roam through the
whole Of western Nebraska and Wyom-
ing, finding food and shelter as they can.
When the spring opens a small party of
cowboys is employed-each stockman
contributing to the force in proportion
to his interest-to range the whole
plains, gather up the cattle and drive
them to certain stations or places prcvi-
ously agreed upon at u meeting of stock
men held in Cheyenne. From these i'm
mense gatherings each owner selects the
cattle bearing his brand, and forms them
into herd to be driven to his ranch; he
also brands the yeariings of his herd,
who have up 10 this time run with their
mothers. After this grand division tine
cattle are put in charge of the cowboys
for the Summer. The grass is fine and
they improve rapidly, and are ready for
the market i'll June or July. For the
largest ranch the expense up to this time
is not over 5000. The cowboys get
about $50 each for the "round mp" but
no stockmsn is allowed to furnish less
then twelve, no matter how small his
herd may be. Some are taxed as high
as twenty cowboys. The matter is all
arranged at a meeting of the stockmen,
held under the auspices of the stock
mems association. When the cattle are
all gathered in and branded for the sum-
mer the only help needed for the rest Of
the year is sufficient number of cow
boys to watch the herds, which is genea-
ally done by sleeping in the grass under
some friendly shade. Three cowboys
will take care of 5000 cattle, keep them
together, and drve to the railroad sta
tions such as are to he sent to market.

of the surrounding atmosphere, drawn
into the vortex below, increasing i'm
mensely as it nears the vacuum" The
funnel-shaped cloud OF the tornado is
formed by the condemnation of vapor
carried upward to colder regions.
Mr.. Maury can find no reason for be-
heving that the Mississippi Valley will
ever become free from tornadoes, since
they have their cause in the great air
currents which no transformation OF the
surface of the country can interrupt;
but he makes suggestions as to how their
fury may be escaped. With o prompt
telegraph service, furnishing simulta-
neous weather reports from the threat
ened districts each morning, competent
meteorologist could give the public
warning of the existence Of conditions
favorable to the production of tornado.
Mr.. Maury also suggests that by choos-
ing sites for towns and buildings with an
elevation ON the southwest side of them,
protection from torpadoes may ordina-
rily be secured, since they almost in-
variably move from south-southwest to
north-northeast, and hill in their
course will cause them to leap over
whatever is just beyond it,. A witness
Of the GrinHell tornado says; "It did
not always visit the earth's surface, but
often passed so far above as to inHict no
injury, but again would swoop down
with relentless fury, carrying destruc-
ton for few miles to every object in
its path" This description of the action
of the tornado which destroyed large
part of Grinnell impressively explains
why Mr.. Maury advises the selection Of
building sites with an elevation on the
southwest side of them.

THE COOPERATIVE SYSTEM.

The Rochdale plan of cooperative
stores, which divides the profits among
the purchasers instead of shareholders,
is successful in England. In the aggre-
gate these establishments divided last
year nearly, 10 per cent, on the gross
amount of their sales. This is equal to
so per cent. on the share capital-a much
larger rtio than the private dealer re-
alizes, the greater profit arising from
the fact that the cooperative stores are
not allowed to go to any expense to get
or retain custom, and that their business
is SO regular that they need suffer very
little from dead stock. In 1861 there
were $50 English societies, with 49, lS4
members, doing an annual trade amount
ing to about seven and half million
dollars. In ten years the number of
members and sales increased fve-fold,
and the capital was nearly doubled. In
thenext decade the..membership doubled,
the capital increased three-fold, and the
sales to more than half million men,
bers amounted in 1880 to 500, ,000, 900.
These are the figures given in returns to
the government of actual business.
Scotland has a large number Of societies
in proportion to its population, but they
do not seem to flourish in Ireland. In
deed tis only in certain parts of Eng
land that they reach their highest devel-
opment in communities where the MEM
bers are well known to each other. The
parliamentary return shows that coun-
ties where cooperation prevails have the
smallest percentage of pauperism. Ex-
periments in this country have not met
with much encouragement, except in
Philadelphia.

THE s0UTTs NEW INDUSTRY.

At the close OF the war cotton seed
was regarded as Of little or no value,
except for planting, and, consequently,
almost the entire product was thrown
away. According to the statements by
Tariff Commissioner Kenner, of Lou
isiana, it is valued at about one-third
Of the cotton crop. The annual pro-
duet OF seed is now about two and q
half million tons over and above what
is needed for planting purposes, and The
price has reached from $15 to 500 ton.
The value of the annual yield when
made into oil cake and other products is
estimated at from seventy-five to hun
dred million dollars. This is a very
substantial source of wealth and mate
rial prosperity to the South, and one
whose importance is no longer unappre-
ciated by southern capitalists. The
number OF mills in operation and in
progress of construction for converting
cotton seed into its valuable products is
reported at from sixty-fve to seventy,
most Of which have been started in the
past few years. and as the business is
found to be highly profitable the estab-
lishments are likely to multiply with
considerable rapidity.

Timely Warning.

For the benefit of cigarette smokers
we shall state that physician call atten-
ton to the fact that if tobacco smoke be
instantly elected from the mouth and
throat before edescending into the chest and
made pass through cambria handker-
chief drawn tightly across the open lips,
a permanent deep yellow stain correspond
lug in size aud shape to the opening be-
tween the lips, aud having numerous
spots of darker hue pervading it, will be
left ON the handkerchief; but that the
prolonged puff from the chest after in
halation from a cigarette fails, under
similar circumstances, to produce any
but scarcely perceptible and speedily
evanescent mark. What in the latter
case becomes of the substance which
stains? This physician thinks it re-
mains in the lungs, and he etherefore con-
demns the common manner of smoking
cigarettes as dangerous.

ignorance in the Min

II is stated 10y those who claim to know
that the little boys who toll in the coal
breakers Of the Pennsylvania anthracite
mines are in state of as benighted
hCathenism ar any of the inhabitants of
the islands Of the sea whittier foreign
missionaries are sent. These boys are
from six years of age upward. As they
work hard all day, they have no oppor-
tunity for education; and they learn very
little except the oaths and blasphemies
and bad stories which continually hear
spoken by those who are older aud more
hardened in sin than themselves. There
are laws providing for the instruction of
these children, but they are for the most
part set at naught. The coal-breaker
boys highest ambition is to be promoted
to the position of miner, and this gener-
ally comes to him when he is old enough,
ifhe is sufficientlp o strong and Industrious.
Good persons who want to carry the
Gospel to the heathen can find wide
field of effort among those ignorant and
degraded bows.

They Are Strangers Now.

A Middleton young lady never tires Of
relating an amusing occurrence Of the
sleigbiug season last winter. She was
enjoying q ride in company with two
Hartford gentlemen, and she was driv-
ing. One Of the gentlemen slyly inserted
hand in her muff and lovingly pressed
her disengaged hand. She blushed and
withdrew it Just as the gentleman on the
other side slipped his hand in her muff.
She knew by the action Of her adorers
that the hand pressures were frequent
and loving within the the silk lining OF
the muff, for first one face then the other
would bob forward and catch look at
the sweet face and eyes which prompted,
as they supposed, the tender pressure of
the hand. The by-play lasted until the
young lady quietly remarked: "If you
gentlemen are through with my muf l
will trouble you for it now, as my hands
are getting cold. And the gentlemen
who had been comfortably warm up to
this timesuddenly felt Arctic chills creep
ing up their spinal columns, and the
mercury Of their feelings dropped to $50
degrees below zero. The two gentle
men are strangers now.

John Browns Fort.

"The walls Of the old engine-house
at Hsrper's Ferry, where John Brown
made his last stand with a dozen men
against 7,000," says q correspondent,
"now furnishes an artistic background
to huge placard setting forth the viz
tues of somebody's liver pad. The in
scription on the front Of the building,
which tells the story OF Browns crusade,
cannot be read at any distance. The ad-
vertise ment of the liver pad is in letters
as long as a Springfield musket. The
grass grows rank in front OF the historic
spot, as though few pilgrim feet visited
ii. A clump Of tall rag-weeds stand in
the open doorway where young Watson
Brown and his brother were shot down.
The roof has gone, the windows have dis
appeared, and there is an air of neglect
and gradual decay about the spot that
accords well with the stagnation Of the
town"

A venomous Lizard.

lrrOnl the LONDON I1mes.J
Stories about venomous lizards of dif-
ferent species are abundant in India and
other tropical countries, but on investi
cation have always been foundto be des-
titute of foundation. There is, however,
one lizard of which the bite is certainly
dangerous to man. This is the hello
derm Of Mexico and Lower California,
commonly known to the natives of those
countries rs the scorpione or scorpion.
An example of this lizard has lately
been presented to the Geological Soci-
ety's collection by Sir John Lubbock,
and may now be seen in the reptile
house. The deadly effect Of the bite OF
this lizard upon small animals has been
proved by actual experiment and Mr.. j,
Stein, q traveller in Mexico, who was
bitten in the finger by one, suffered from
symptoms similar to those produced by
snake bite. The specimen in the 70
illogical Society's collection is about fif-
teen inches long and was forwarded to
Sir John Lubbock by Mr.. Treadwell, of
the Central Arizona Mining Company.
II is believed to be the first that has
reached Europe alive,
