cussed in public by few but in the pres
ent condition of prices and of trade it is only
possible if the banks begin wholesale con-
traction of loans on commercial paper, and
this is followed by like contraction in loans
on bond and stock collateral. The New
England failures which have already taken
place have led to the first step, to how great
an extent no one knows; but the New York
Tribune says commercial paper is being re-
fused "where refusal would have been
thought impossible few weeks ago." This
is likely to have serious result or not, pre-
cisely as, in the turn over of credit incident
to the opening of the Fall trade, this con-
tradiction of loans brings weak places to
light.
Three negroes, named Younger, Keene

county, Va, for the murder Of Mr.. Sheppard

The Editor Of the Future,

The editor of 1888 will never sigh
for relaxation, never wish to go fish

never long to be rich that he may work

never become tired or nauseated as he
looks over the daily exchanges and
finds them, as ever, filled with the same
monotonous record of deaths, murders
suicides, fires, burglaries, embezzle
ments, defalcations, "run over and kill
ed, 'run away with and killed, "death
by paris green" shipwrecks, drownings
all the same, the same and the same
from years end to years end, with but
a change of name and locality. Sc
firmly based will be his mind that his
lively interest in all these things will
never flag, and he will go on to the
end until stretched out in his journals
tic coffin, the lively, sharp, incisive
chronicler of this eternal round of hu
man affairs.

These descriptions could be parallel

Northern colonies. The description OF
the Schuyler family and of their way
of living at Albany, as given by
Mrs. Grant, of Laggan, about 1850, /,
quite on par with these early scenes
at Narragansett. In Connecticut it is
recorded of John Peters, father of the
early and milicious historian Of that
name, that he "aped the style of a
British nobleman, built his house in a
forest, kept his coach, and looked with

mouth had fifty-two rooms. Through
all the colonies these evidences of
stately way of living were to be
found.
These facts are unquestionable, and
would not so fully have passed out OF
sight but for another fact never yet
fully explained. When the war of
Independence came it made no social
charge in the Southern provinces, but
it made social revolution in the North
ern provinces. For some reason, per-
haps only for the greater nearness to
Nova Scotia, the gentry of the New
England pLovinces took the loyal side,
and fled, while the gentry of Virginia
fell in with the new movement, becom-
ing its leaders. From my window, as
| write, have glimpses of some of the
large houses of "Tory Row." in Cam
bridge, Massachusetts, where, accord
ing to the contemorary description of
the Baroness Riedsel, seven kinkred
families lived in the Vassalls, and some
of them owning plantations in Jamai-
ca. All fled, most of their estates were
coniscated, and the war transferred
the leadership of the New England col
onies, as Professor Sumner has lately
well shown in his Life Of Jachson, to
a new race of young lawyers. Hence
all the ante-Revolutonary life disap-
peared, and was soon forgotten slave
ry disappeared also, while thet self-same
social order still subsisted in Virginia,
though constantly decaying, until
more recent war brought that also to
an end. Mr.. Lodge has best summed
it up: "The aristocracy of New Eng
land did not have at bottom any of
great strength of that in Virginia
but its existence was as real, and its
power almost as great and unquestion-

A STRANGE
And Startling Dream-Is There Spirit

A remarkable dream or pref 'raatural visi
tation recently occurred in Louisville, KY.
Mr.. " E Morers, gentleman we'll and ia.
vorably known about town. on retiring for
the night, feeling unwell and nervous, was
very restless in his sleep, but seemed to him
sell to be wide awake and in full control Of
ais senses. A vision appeared in his dream
show ng him large flaming number, com
manding him TO obtain it from the lottery,
and then vanished. The dream was so start
ling as to fully awake him, and although
one who never believed in lotteries or upheld
them, yet try as be would he could not shake
off the vision or forget The numbers which
seemed 10 be burned in his brain. Finally
Ii. called at the cffice OF the Commonwealth
Distribution Company, and, paying 81,
asked for a ticket with the numbers of his
dream on it. Fortunately the number was
uusold and his ticket given him. The draw
ing was soon 10 come of, and so nervous and
excited had he become that, although
sgainat his principle, he determined to wit
mes it, and, strangely enough, he saw his
number drawn from the wheel and the hanG-
some prize OF $4,000 was his. Wss this

A RICHMOND SCANDAL.
EIoPement Of weIi-Known Society
Girl With a Negro

PETERSBURG, VA, April 9.-This city was
all sstir Saturday over the elopement of a
Rich mond belle with dusky aon Of Ham.
The girf4 name Is Maggie Dooley, and she
IL the daughter OF a well-kuown Richmond
grocer. She is nineteen years old and quite
handsome, plump in figure, of medium
stature, Iound-fsced, with brown hair and
dark eyes. The negro's name is ] ohm West,
and greater contrast than that between
him and his female companion cannot we'll
be i'm agined. He is abeu. thirty-one years
of age, very tall, we'll built, his face dark
brown color, and adorned by a sweeping
muslache, features remarkably regular, evi.
IDENTITY quite well educated, and dressed ultra
fashiouably. The couple, it is said, left
Richmond in hack last night and came
to thus city early this morning. Ia sbe-
dience TO telegram received from the
glri's relatives, the police here started in
search Of the girl and her supposed lover,
and after long search found him asleep in
house in Pocahontas, suburb of Peters
burg. The girl was also found there few
hours later. West, when searched al the
slationhouse, was found TO have nearly 5000
with him, and in conversation with re-
porter deuied that he came here with the
glrI. He said that he lived some distance
IRON hsr residence in Richmond, and that he
kept barber chop. He denied having CON.
here in hack, though admitting that he did
not come on the train. He is not inclined to
be communicative. The girl, when brought
to the station, seemed to feel keenly the situ-
alton in which she h ad placed herself. 1t Was
plainly seen that she was enceinte, but she
averred that her condition was in no wire 10
b, attributed 10 any intimacy with West, 10
whom che had only applied TO escort her out
of the city, as she wished 10 hide her shame
from her parents. Her brother arrived here
in the course of the day. He was at the
station when West was about TO be removed
to the all. As SOON as he cav the negro he
jumped mp, took revolver lying on
desk near by snd aimed il at West. He wss,
however, prevented from shooting by an Off
Ger, and was temper arily put under coufne
meDt Mics Dooley's father arrived in the
city this evening. He sensibly felt the dis-
grace brought upon the family by the girls
conduct, but, after some consultation be
tween him, his son ard he girl, they decided
not 10 prefer any charge, against West, who
thereupon was released from custody.
