on reviewing the evidence, pointing out all

senting to the jury such evidence as was ex-
culpatory in its character. Referring 10 the

stances which indicated that she was ripe
for suicide, and occupied some time in sus
tanning this theory.
At the afternoon session Mr.. II. r. Pol.

LETTER FROM LOUISA.

CORRESPONDENCE of the Alexandria Gazette
LOUISA, June 2, outstanding
the inclemency of the weather large crowd
assembled in the Christian church on Fri
day night to witness the closing exercises Of
the Louisa Female Seminary. After the
opening chorus, Sunrise" Misses Rhodes
and Chiles performed Rosellen's arrange
ment of Rossinis "Semiramis," which is u
very beautiful piece. Miss Rhodes pei
formed Strakosch's yankee Doodle" which
is piece intended for the display of finger
gymnastics; but as the piano was placed
with its back to the audience, the performer
was entirely hid from view. 1t is strange
that it is not generally known IN the coun-
try that a piano placed as described above
is the same thing as an orator delivering bis
speech with his back turned to the audi
ence. Mr.. Cutler delivered the annual ad-
dress, and Mr. Comp on was quite enter

COST OF RUNNING STEAMsHLPs.-"The
chief reason why the European passenger
steamship business has ceased to be profit
able TO some of the old established compa-
nies," said shipping agent of long expe-
rience in New York to New York Herald
reporter recently, sis very simple one.
This idea of enormously large and very fast
ships has been overdone. These new, fast
boats do not pay, and never will, because
their running expenses are too high, and
they use so much coal that it leaves very
little room for cargo.
Take the Etruria, for instance, the big
new Cunarder. She crosses the Atlantic in
six days and half, but she burns $50 tons
of coal day, or 2,275 tons in six days and
half, and of course must carry at least
900 tons in her bunkers when she leaves
her dock, to be provided for accidents. This
leaves room for only 400 tons of cargo, and
at the very lowest prices for ocean freights
which have prevailed for long time past
there is very little margin for profit.
Now, compare q steamer like the Ger
manic with the Etruria. The Germanic
makes the run in seven days and a half, tax
ing day longer than boats like the Etru.
ria. But she consumes only 100 tons ofcoal
day, or $50 tons, against the Etruria' s
2,275 And in place of 400 tons ofcargo the
White Star steamer can carry 1900 tons.
Don't you see the difference in the earning
capacity of the two? l think the limit of
speed consistent with economy was reached
in what have now become the slower boats,
of which the Germanic is type, although,
as far as I am concerned don't see why
they are not fast enough for anybody"
"But vessels like the Etruria can carry
more passengers, and is not the loss ofcargo
made up this way?"
mo, they can carry few more passen-
gers, but they can't get any higher rates for
them, and the difference does not make up
for the heavy increase in running expenses.
You can put it down for certainty that
these new and very fast boats do not pay"
