and hostile feeling against all schemes that
did not point to Richmond, arrested active

without direct reference to the trade of any
particular city. was strong enough in the
Legislature to secure its passage in the
shape in which it now exists. Vely few,
however, understand Its great Importance,
or comprehend the vast wealth it is des-
tined to expose, as factor in Virginias
prosperity, and the reduction of the rate
of taxation. With this Iron Trunk Line
constructed, and the dead wealth it would
utilize placed on the assessors books, at its
proper taxable value. vast aggregation of
revenue would be realized, with the assur-
ance of an annual increase to an almost in
definite extent.
1t is by such enterprises that Virginia is
to be brought up to proper level and take
her rightful position among the States of
her the wealthiest Commonwealth in the
sisterhood, and if our own people would
only bend their energies and efforts to the
concentrations which are possible, the ne
cessary aid would come from abroad to assure
the fruiti0n.

The Texas State Treasury has surplus OF
some 100000 and the people lie awake
nights from fear lest the Treasurer viii run
away with it. The Legislature has now be-
fore it proposition to increase his bond to
$500. 0O0 but as he could reimburse his bonds
men and still have 81 100000 left, if he chose
to follow the illustrious example of Polk and
Vincent, this is not considered much of safe
guard. The shortest way out of the difficulty
would be to appoint Republican Treasurer
and then the people could feel sure that that
cash is thar"

A Baltimore and Philadelphia colored
gallant were enamored of a Philadelphia
colored girl, of considerable attractions
She was fond of both and could not really
decide which to accept. The rivals deter
mined to solve the problem in novel and
good humored way. The man that could
hold his head ina tub of water the longest
in two tests out of three was to be the
successful sutton. The Baltimore beau
won, and was married on the spot. as a

DR.. Ludeking, clerk of the Board of Health
of st. Louis, has found that cholera ravaged
that city in 1S49 and in 1866, and was each
time preceded by very high water in the Miss
issippi. As another seventeen years has passed
and premonitory high water is at hand, he
will not be astonished if the disease becomes
epidemic again next summer. But 1t must be
added, he says, that before the cholera made
its appearance in the West it each time Wis
tied Asia. and thus far Asia is uncommonly
free from it.

The Governor Of Ohio has pardoned Isaac
Knop, of Fremont, sentenced to the peni-
Tertiary for life on charge Of murder
Knop's health failing and death appearing
imminent, he was pardoned. After his re-
lease few days his health greatly i'm
proved, and in his exultation because of his
liberty, he revealed the fact that he had
caused his attenuated appearance by eating
soft soap, which was given the prisoners
for washing purposes. This fact coming
to the Governors attention he declared the
pardon revoked and Knop was kidnapped
into the penitentiary again. The conVict's
friends carried the case to the Supreme
Court, and the decision was rendered that
the pardon was irrevocable, and KNAPP is
again at liberty.
The exposures by the press OF the ru in-
Tariff Bill, has sealed the fate of that i'll
digested and ill-cons idered measure. 1t,
with the House bill and the Tariff Com
mission report, will go to a Conference
or there will be none passed at this ses-
sion. Congress adjourns, by Limitation of
time, at IL O'Clock Saturday night. 1t is
not probable, and only barely possible
that proper measure will be prepared and
reported. II there is no bill passed, there
will be severe Judgment rendered when
the people have an opportunity.

cation to-day.
Louis Fernandez and Carmen Lira, aged 16
years. after binding their bodies together with
rope Friday morning, sprang into the Yara
river, Mexico, and were drowned. They had
been lovers for some time. Thursday evening
Fernandez called on the parents of the girl to
ask her hand in marriage and was rejected.
Overcome with grief, the pair determined to
end their lives as above described. Their
bodies were recovered an hour later. The
mother of the girl, after seeing the corpse of
her daughter as 1t was taken from the river,
bound to that of Fernandez, also sprang into
the river and was drowned.
One source OF the contentment and cheer
fulness OF the people Of Virginia, is found 10
the realized fact that there is no annual in.
crease OF the State debt in defaulted interest.
The Treasury is supplied with ample fund
derived from reduced rate of taxation, to
meet all demands, and have surplus. The
prospect is, with the wonderful exposure of
mineral wealth which is going on, the next
Legislature will be justified in making a
still lower rate of taxation. There is no
possibility of an increase, or OF default in
paying current obligations. A few years
ago. each year presented an increase in the
debt BY defaulted interest to the amount
Of about 100000. This went on until it
aggregated $4,000, OOO-that much more
than the bonded debt Of the State. 1t is
this contrast and this realized Improvement
in public affairs that is having good effect
upon the people. They see daylight
They know that the paying capacity of the
State is rapidly increasing, and that as that |
increases the rate Of taxation will be re.
duced. These matters ought to be studied,
and credit for each condition properly To-
Gated.

BACK FROM THE sEAsHoRE.

Well, at home once again in nay ed rocking
chair;
Why, it seems like midsummer dream, L de
clare!
Oh, the many admirers and beaux have lest,
With the chilling event Of the September frost!
The music has died, but its echoe. prolong
Like the lingering note of lullaby song.
As sit in my chair, with the summer just DER,
What visions come up from the pleasant sea
shore!
The swim in the surf and the nap in the shade,
With the golden sunset and the long promenade;
The enchanting display of kewitching attire
And numberless things TO behold and admire;
Then, the seasons of rest from the gay, slddy
round,
Partaken by chance, or at intervals found
With the help of book, when the hours seemed
slow,
Or q headache invoked for an unwelccme bean;
Then, the morning with Ned, AID his tender ap-
peal,
With the turn on the beach and the page Of Lu-
Gle
Rut things were rather unpleasant to me.
What Ieyeiling thing is bath IN the sea!
How a lily of fashion may lose her perfume
Through the baIbarous truth of bathing cos
tune!
Just to think of mammals irresistible daughter,
With her charms on the bank and herself in the
water!
But I welcome the bath when the weather is
warm,
Feeling safe, with a rounded, symmetrical form;
And girl is all right, if enabled, like me,
To take her attractions right into the sea,
Well, it seems Like a dream, as I told you be-
fore
Phese misty remains of the pleasant seashore,
With the premature crsp of affections all lost,
RemorseIessly nipped by the September frost.
