why not? 10 is a very nice young fellow, not

like a typical Knickerbocker of

about the city behind pair OF lively ly.stepping
geldings. He loves those horses, but there
are times in the day and days In the week
when he enjoys lolling back In the Presi-
dents open landau, and being driven about by
Albert, who has driven the families of four
Presidents. and says "there never was such
a thoroughbred young man about here as Mr..
Alain is." Mr.. Arthur loves music, but no one
ever asks him tho second time to sing. He
can play some simple accompaniments, and
now and then, In the seclusion OK the Blue
parlor, he tackles a few college songs, but IL
Colonel Pinchover could hear him sing three

the night train, say L. NJ, and arrived at
North Danville at 1910 p. NJ, where the
passengers for the Midland railway were
transferred without delay, and left for
Washington at say 1890. The passengers
for Richmond were kept waiting at North
DanyiIle from 1910 until 12:45, say two
hours and thirty-tive minutes-and this is
IN every-night occurrence.
You see the great personal wrong done,
first, to the passengers for Richmond by
being held over two hours and half at
North Danvile, while the passengers over
the Midland road were going to Washing
ton and other points North. The second
wrong is more serious, because il Is de-
st1oying the business Of Richmond and
keeping away from our gates the southern
merchants and pleasure-seekers. Ii is said
the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Poto-

SfeepIe-Painting,

The painting Of the Second Baptist
church steeple is now nearly done. The
contractor, Mr.. Evans, and his assistant,
Mr.. Oliver Mountcastle, have made quick
work OF it. The steeple rises one hundred
feet above the church-roof, and scaffolding
was erected only on one side. Mr.. Mount
castle has painted the other sides in seat
suspended by rope from the top OF the
steeple. The people by hundreds stop
every day and watch him in what seems a
very dangerous work. The trumpet and
the ball surmounting the steeple have been
taken down, regilded, and replaced. The
trumpet. which from the street looks quite
small. is six feet two inches in length, and
the ball is considerably over three feet in
diameter.
