WHAT BLUE blood and chivalry and first
families have to do with either public or
private robbers, especially in free and
equal America, is what no body can tell.
All human flesh is prone to evil, whether
the blood that supplies it be blue or muddy
But from the earliest period of recorded his
tory down to the present time there have
been demagogues whose chief hope of ad-
vancing their own low and selfish interests
lay in stirring up enmity and strife among
the different classes Of the community in
which they have resided. There is nothing
new under the sun, and the demagogucs Of
the present arc the same sort of people as
those who spent their brief day in Rome
during the Commonwealth, and resort to the
same stale old tricks. If Polk had lived in
Rome more than two thousand years ago
the delnagogues of that city would have
made his recent defalcation the occasion of
''getting off, something like the following
from General Mahone's Washington organ /:
'His pitable fall from his high station as
the flower of the state family to skulkng
thief in the prickly pears ofthe Rio Grandc,
and thence to the Nashville Jail, should be a
warning to the bourbon chivalry VINO Drate
of the excellence of blue blood and first
families"

An Appeal to Young Yirsirians.

Col. Robert Beverly has written letter to
the editors of the Industrial .>ouih in which
he makes an appeal to the young Virginian
to remain at home, and seek his fortune in
Virginia and not in the West or Southwest.
Col. Beverly asserts. from knowledge Sc
cured from personal observation that there
is not in the United States any place, all
things considered that has rs many advan
tages as Virginia. Climate, society, social
relations, fertility ofthe soil, convenience to
market renders Virginia equal to if not su-
perior to any State in the Union. He states
that he knows of instances. in every county
OF the State where he has an acquaintance.

ing in the world but their uniform and cav
airy horse who have made comfortable for
tunes, ranging from 10000 to $4,000 by
first renting land and saving their profits.
and buying land, and he is confident that
these opportunities Of doing as well today
are rs good us they have been at any time
since The war, and far better than soon after
the war. The views Of Col. Beverly arc
correct, and it is hoped that they may have
the elect OF restraining many Of our Young
men from going to the West to seek their
fortunes. There is room in the Common
wealth for every son ofVirginia to secure
comfortable competence. All that is need
ed is the resolution TO work and sare. and if
this rule is Observed there is little doubt but
that success will follow. Stay at home

vice cxcr! your efforts and yourabiities in
the attempt to establish your fortune here.
and thus assist in making Virginia great
and prosperous, and this you can accom-
plish by honest labor Norfolk IIryieiun.

GENERAL MAHoNE's Washington organ
says it is i'll the power of the republicans to
so shape the future as TO reap the benefit of
its alliance with the Mahoneites without
lowering its standard of principles. The
principles Of the party, as marked by the
character Of its most prominent men. have
never been very high, and its recent ALI
ance with the regulators of public obliga-
tons shows that their standard could not
we'll be lower than it is. But the remark al
luded to proves that the General would
drag it down still further to please his
fancy, and, what the republicans should
not forget, that there are men in their party
who will assist him in order TO profit by the
support Of his negro cohorts. What his few
white followers think about allowing the
republican party to reap the benefit of the
alliance is only known to themselves.

In Il country such as India, where deadly
reptiles and wild animals abound and where
the natives are in the habit of going with
bare legs and feet, and with no weapons of
defense, it is not strange that many casual
ties should occur ; but one is scarcely pre-
pared to learn Of the appalling sacrifice of
human life as given by the recent official re-
turns. 1t appears that during 1881 no few
cr than 1850 human beings were killed by
snakes, and 2,759 by wild animals; while
1869 head Of cattle were in like manner
destroyed. As set.oii to this terrible loss
we learn that Psi 9GS snakes and 1924
wild animals were destroyed, and upward
of 10000 paid by the Indian Government
for their destruction.
