DR.. Ferran's system of incubation has
been productive of no results which indi-
cate clearly its usefulness. Espousing
DR.. koch's theory, that cholera is due to
the presence in the intestines OF well
ascertained and recognizable bacillus. the
Spanish physician has inoculated entire
populations Herewith, and has hereby
produced mild choleraic symptoms. But
he has not apparently established the
protective power of this incubation.

Destructive FIRE IN CHARLOTTES-

week fire broke out in the carpenter shop
Of Yandegrift & Son, in the southern edge
of Charlottesville, and owing to a strong
south wind at one time threatened the de-
struction Of the most popuious part Of the
place. There was nothing at hand with
which to fight the fim3s, ami in a very
short time the building was reduced to
ashes Another building belonging to the
same firm, together with large quantity
of valuable lumber, YVES burned. A brick
building across the railroad, the property OF
NJ. NJ. Dupre, was also destroyed. The fire
continued il a non thwestwardly course un

Learn frCm the Past.

The city reader, especially, will peruse
with interest the "Reminiscences of a Sep
tuagenarian," who brings out in the SPEC
TAToR to-day a chapter of history replete
with instruction, and worthy Of be-
ing adopted as guide at the present time
The recital of what was accomplished by
concerted action nearly fifty years ago,
when the basis for effort was not compara-
BILE to the opportunities now offered, should
surely arouse the successors of the noble
men of the past to renewed diligence, and,
by good works and continuing progress,
strive 10 leave history of this day as
worthy of emulation as the former
Alarge organization for the promotion OF
all our interests is in existence. The field
is open for occupancy, and it would seem a
start can be made under such auspices.
"Au,d Lang Syne" comes to the help with
sound admonitions and encouraging utter
ances. Noone can draw, IS is his privilege
upon superior knowledge and observation,
and bring to bear a larger or ripper expert
ence in association with the growth and
prosperity of this city. The men of this
day in charge of its affairs should fee
themselves fortunate in having the earnest
CO. operation 4 one familiar with, and who
particip lted in, the early movements which

these facts, and then assign his State to
dismal future? We cannot.

dismal future? We cannot.
There is another pleasant view from our
standpoint in regard to the cold Domin-
ion,'' as she is gradually rising from the
severe ordeals of the past. The spirit dis
played by the towns to obtain abundant
supplies of water is a charming picture.
Charlottesville, in connection with the
University, is now building water-works.
Harrisonbug is starting out with the same
object. Lexington is adding to her old es-
adjustment. Wytheville is moving, and
Liberty, sitting on her long hill with I'M
dulating borders, will receive her supply
from the 'tPeaks of Otter" seven miles
distant, and from fountains which gush
forth from their granite-bound sides.
To sum up, cannot this city take courage
for the new role? Where there is SO much
of present and future promise, surely she
must have share. Activity, cheerfulness,
concert of action, and agreement in coun-
Gil, will bring desired results. Sustained
as this city is by a superior agriculture;
furnished with an abundant water supply;
with the splendid advantages of our educa
tional institutions; with the State instltu-
tions comforting patronage and power; with
capital seeking good home investments;
surely all these considerations added to
well-directed, earnest efforts, will enable us
to start on forward movement in the new
channels which lead to greater, prosperity

Hon. ]. r. TUCKER INTERVIEWED IN
NEW ORLEANS From the report of an
interview by Representative of the New
Orleans Daily States with Hon. J. R. Tuck
er, we quote the following
what course do you think President
Cleveland will pursue in relation to the
Federal offices in Virginia.
81 think that the President will be very
much inclined to accord with the views of
the delegation from Virginia; that is, as
all the patronage of the State has been
heretofore used as a mere party instrument,
ana as an advantage to tie leaders of the
Readjuster party, it will now be used in
the interest of Civil Service Reform and
the appointment of good men of the DEM
acratlc party, who will use their offices in
thu interest of public service"
"What are your views in regard to the
probable course of the administration of
Mr. Cleveland? In other words, do you
think it will tend to strengthen and con-
solidate the Democratic party
II certainly do. think it will. l think
it IS going to be wise and conservative
administration to the country, and that it
will not only enure to the benefit of the
country and tho publie service, but to the
consolidation and strength of the Demo
cratic party"

Here are six important enterprises lard

were digested and prominently brought be-
fore the public for definite action by proba-

which have subsequently been accom-
plished. l do not pretend to say that the
ideas were original with them. Thousands
OF other men had, doubtless, thought of
each and every one of them with the ex-
ception possibly of the Deaf and Dumb
lnstitution) in the abstract as laudabte and
beneficial. But abstract and speculative
thought avails little until it assumes a prao-
teal form. What mean 10 say is, that all
these six enterprises, which have added sd
much to the prosperity of Staunton, were
the subjects of discussion and action BY thu
association of gentlemen l have named:
that they matured the plans by which these
propositions were to be fay orably presented
to the public; that they we've so presentedi
that they were carried into effect; and that
we are now reaping the rich fruits of their
labors.
l will add, that have not pretended to
give these propositions in the chronological
order of their adoption and execution.
