The Dismal Swamp.

A recent visitor to the Dismal Swamp
In Virginia found it much reduced in
extent compared to what it was twenty
years ago, Itnow contains some of the
best farming land in the state. A rail-
road runs across it, aud it is on its way
TO final extinction. The drainage OF
Lake Drummopd, a central body of
water lying higher than tho average
level OF the swamp, would make the
whole area fertile. This is project OF
Governor Benjamin F. Butler who once
had surveys made, but at length aban-
doned it, The great industry of the
swamp is numbering. 1t is penetrated
by small bitches in connection with
larger canals, and by rude tramroads,
over which the logs are hauled to be
sawed up into shingles, railroad ties
and fencing. The lake itself, however,
with its almost impenetrable fringe Of
cypress and its protecting roots and
broken stumps, is quite as dismal as
ever

en- who are poorly clad and women In
rich attire; women who talk patty OF
the market aud can ring the changes on
the stock exchanges melodious lingo
women attractive and women repulsive
all with an eye single to gain. They
are wild with the speculative craze.
Their ambition is flyers" their meth
ods most child-like and bland. In the
list OF these new habitues OF Wall street
are embraced members OF some OF the
first families of the oity, so far rs wealth
and connections go. The popular ac-
tress abounds and is petted; ladies who
wear crepe wells. in memory Of departed
lords are numerous, and she who could
find no profits in engineering board
ing-house helps support the broker.
Motley regiment they are, but they
have the credit of operating boldly,
and taking risks that would drive the
masculine speculator wild. 1t is rather
difficult for the average member Of the
stock exchange to refuse advice to q
pretty woman, and, everything being
even, the information so put forth Is
quite upeo the standard Of Wall street
reliability and accuracy, Secrets are
sometimes obtained by women which
the ordinary man could not discover In
a lifetime, and for some inscrutable
reason they flourish occasionally where
