Albert Millaud, in lie Figaro Paris,
bluntly remarks that it is neither the
great poet, the sublime prose-writer,
the sweet philosopher, the marvellous

clan. "And these last two qualities,
he adds, "are within the grasp Of every
imbecile.''

The issues in the coming campaign
involve the very life of the Common
wealth. In fact, we do not go too far
when we say that our very civilization
is at stake. We must arouse ourselves
to the gravity of the situation. The
fight is going to be very bitter one.
The issues at stake are vital to the
State. The victory is undoubtedly ours
if we will but realize the situation and
put forth the energies the occasion re-
auires. If we do not, We shall meet
with ignominious defeat and suffer the
long train of humiliating evils resultant
therefrom. - Charlottesville Jefferson

To the Editor of tie DiSpdich
/ confess to some surprise that any
question should be again raised as to
whether the E. in General Lees name
is for Edmund or Edward. His name
was unquestionably Robert Elrard
mot EdmundD Lee, and if you will turn
to the files of the Dispatch just after
his death you will find the question
settled beyond peradventure.
Living in Lexington at the time, |
sent the Dispatch the first telegram
which announced to the world the death
Of Americas most illustrious son, and
subsequently reported for you the full
est details of his sickness, death, and
funeral. | wrote Edwdrd every time,
but in my first kilograms il was changed
to Edmund in the Dispatch office. Sub
sequently, however, wrote that | had
seen Edward in the family records :;
that the family said that Edwdrd was
mquestionably the right name; that
Edward was engraved on his tomb
stone, and that Edward was written in
the old family Bible in the handwriting
of his mother.

charged with being idle and disorderly.
All have respectable parents and COM
Portable homes. The girls frequent the
Argyle skating-rink, and have been seen
by many officers roaming around the
streets at IL and II O'Clock at night,
and when they have at last left the
streets at night they have been seen in
company with men. Judge Parmenter
continued sentence in the case of the
Goldsmith girl, and held the others for
trial. The girls were all nicely dressed,
with clean, pretty, innocent-looking
faces. The officers testify that they all
used horrible language when arrested.
Additional proof of their intimacy
with criminals was shown Yesterday
when Officer Franks brought in a girl,
thirteen years old, charged with lar
ceny. When she was put in cell
with the other girls they all knew her.
This young thief is wanted in South
Boston also for numerous thefts. She
has no parents that she knows of, and
wanders around from place to place.

Kind Words.

The Richmond Dispatch deserves to
be highly complimented upon the man
ner in which it has reported the Gu
verius trial. In fact, from the very day
of the tragedy its enterprise has been
given to the public in an admirable man
ner. BY our people the coming OF the
Dispatch every morning has been
looked for as the event of the day.
The Dispatch is by far the best news
paper in Virginia, and ought to receive
liberal encouragement.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
In the matter Of the contention be-
tween the Atlanta Constitution and the
Dispatch as to what was the middle
name of General r. 4. Lee, desire to
say that / have advices this morning
from General Gusts Lee, in answer to
my inquiry on the subject, in which he
informs me that his fathers name was
Robert Edpard Lee. | say it rather
because made mistake myself on
the subject, and because it is a shame
to any southern man il he is not pro-
perly informed in regard to this as well
as other details Of the history of him
We profess to love so well. Let none
Of us ever forget it again.
General Lee encloses photographs OF
his father, taken from an old daguerro-
type. They must refer to a period
when he was a lieutenant-colonel in the
United States army. They are of a
distinguishedly- handsome man, with a
face full Of grace, and light, and benigni-
ty. But there is no Robert 4. Lee like
the Mars Robert" Of the /" incom-
parable infantry of the Army of North

with a grace and feeling which do
credit even to so great a man, says, as
all the world should say, that he is the
"grandest man Of whom he has ever
read" Very respectfully,

What Evarts Might Have Said.

From Texas slftings.
II was on Union Square that ma
whose histrionic yawp is well known all
over the land told the following chest
nut to the boys: Lord Coleridge, when
he visited this country lately, stood
with William NJ. Eyarts on the banks of
the Potomac opposite the city Of Wash
ington.
"Do you know, Evarts,n said his
lordship, ~ have heard that George
Washington was man of great phys
ical proves. l was told that he once
threw silver dollar from this spot
across the Potomac"
.'You must remember, my lord" said
Mr.. Evarts, "that dollar would go n
great deal further in those days than 1t
would do now"
The gloom that the recital of this old
story had thrown over the gang was
waited away by our friend in the long
ulster, who said:
81 would suggest that Evarts mi ght
have said something else"
"What?n
ale might have said: Il never heard
that he threw silver dollar across the
Potomac, but history tells us that he
threw an English sovereign across the
Atlantic.p

Female Horse.Racers.

Although the Duchess of Montrose,
who figures on the turf under the dis
guise OF "Mr. Manton," has probably a
better stud, taken on whole, than any
one in England or the world, still, for
numbers of horses, no one can compete
with Miss Morgan, of Killyon, In the
county OF Meath, Ireland, who reckons
hers by the hundreds. Her brother
many years ago represented Westmeath
in the House OF Commons, and 1t Ia said
that when on his first canvass he called
on Father Mooney, an influential priest,
and asked him for his vote, the latter re-
piled: "Slr, I'd rather give IL to the
devil" "But," said the candidate, ''in
the event of your friend not coming for
ward for the county, what them" His
ready wit won him the clerical suffrage.

scalplng New orleans Rates,

Almost panic exists in the traffic to
the New Orleans exposition, scalpers
being enabled to procure tickets at such
figures that the prevailing round-trlp
rate through their offices to New Or
leanSand return is Sl2, while the regu-
lur.ngreed rate is $40. In addition to the
various methods already published by
which the Generalization is fostered is
one which developed yesterday. Some
OF the Northwestern lines are selling
tickets, in conjunction with some of the
Illinois Centrars competitors, from that
roads northwestern territory at greatly
reduced rates, SO that passengers who
desire TO come only as far as Chicago
are enabled to save aportion of the local
rate by scalping the New Orleans coupon
In this city. The result is that the scalp
ing shops are well supplied with New
Orleans tickets, and are taking a large
share Of the business away from the
Legitimate channels. A peculiar circum-
stance In connection with this matter is
the fact that Il certain northwestern line
has made arrangements with a certain
southern line whereby the latter allows
the former TO retain as Its proportion OF
the greatly reduced through rate an
uuouht evuh W tho iuh iuoui iuiih iIoih
the starting point 10 Chicago. This
leaves the southern connection hut a
mere pittanoe as its share of the through
rate. Its competitors are very naturally
disposed to make trouble, and the pros
peot Is favorable for general breakup
| OF New Orleans rates, Notwithstanding
tho "iron-oladn covenants to maintain
them.-[ Chicago Times.
