Keeping II is Balance.


There is a story told among the Tar :.
tars, which has moral for the civilized
men OF the present day. 1t is to this
effect: Robo, cousin of the Great Mo-
gul, was condemned to death for par
tlcipation In rebellion. The most
skilful swordsmau in the empire was
provided for the execution, and the
Great Mogul and his court were pres
ent rs spectators.
The thin, keen blade flashed in the
sunlight and desc ended upon the bar
neck Of Robo, who stood upright up to
receive the stroke.
The executors work W as so deftly,
done that though the head was severed
not vital organ was disturbed.
Robo remained standing.
sWhat, Robo, art thou not be-
headedpn exclaimed the Great Mogul.
my lord, I am, !" replied Robc, "stub
as long as keep my balance right, my
head will not fall off,"
TheGreatMognl was placated, a band
age was put on Robo's neck, and he
recovered. He afterwards become a
loyal subject and was made Cashier of
the Empire, because, as the Great
Mogul remarked
HE knows that il he keeps his bal
ance right, his head win not come off. !"

The Rise OF Postage Stamps.


It Is estimated that every year about
so, COO, ,00O, 900 letters are posted in the
world. America leads, with about g.
500, ,0O0, 900, and England follows with
zoe, ,OO0. 900. japan, which established
q postal service only TEN years ago. now
mails annually 90. .0O0, 900 letters. Post
age stamps are OF far more recent
origin than many people imagine.
Great Britain was the first country 10
issue them, and In 1910 a prepaid en-
yelope made its appearance, designed
BY w. .Musready. Prepaid letter sheets
were issued about the same time, there
being two denominations, one penny
and two penny. Before that time pos
tage was prepaid at the postoffice, or
what was even more common, collected
upon delivery. Now almost every
country i'm the civilized world has
adopted this method of preparing post
age. Strange as it may appear, Brazil,
in 1S43. was the FIRST nation to follow
Great Britai1's example. 1t was not
until 1847 that theUnited States began
to use postage stamps. but several years
prior to that time the postmasters at
New York, st. Louis. Baltimore, New
Haven, Providence and Brat.l,o,ro
had issued stamps for their own
conyenience.

PETERSBURG AND VICINITY.

A Stormy sunday-A Special AGENTS visit
The New Jamcs.Riy Steame r. Inspection
OF the Normal school.
Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch.1
PETERSBURG, Dec. IA, 1885.
We had one of the heaviest rainfalls
of the year yesterday between the hours
of 10 A. NJ. and 4 p. M. About 3
o'clock P. NJ. the wind suddenly rose,
and for ten minutes blew with great
force and noise, causing apprehensions
in the minds of many Of cyclone. 1t
subsidized as quickly as it rose. A sim
gular fact is that the wind, which had
been blowing gently all day from the
southeast, suddenly changed to the
northwest.
Special-Agent Marvin, Of the United
States internal-revenue service, visited
and examined the office in this city to-
day. Everything checked up right,
and Mr.. Marvin left for Norfolk to per-
form the same duty there. Mr.. Marvin
was the special agent who six months
ago turned the district over to the pre-
sent collector. Since that time the col
lections in the Petersburg office have
amounted to about sl80,000.
The steamer George Law, which has
been placed on the James river by the
Atlantic and Danville Railroad Com
pany to run as a passenger and freight
boat in connection with their line at
Claremont, arrived here Saturday even
ing and left to-day with a considerable
quantity of freight. The steamer is a
double-decker Of about 300 tons
burthen, and for some years past has
been running on the Potomac river.
The visit on Saturday of a committee
of the Legislature, headed by Senator
Koiner, to inspect the colored Normal
College near this city, has excited con-
siderable interest in the affairs of that
institution. The committee expect to
return again before any report is made
to the Legislature. 1t is said that they
were not we'll pleased with the condition
in which they found the buildings, and
are apprehensive that unless they are
pushed forward to early completion the
walls may be damaged. 1t is under
stood that the committee is not author
lied to investigate the manner in which
the school has been managed but tina
this duty falls rather upon the Stat'
Boardp of Education.
The right Of the Petersburg Club Il
dispense liquor to its members at it
own bar is to be tested in the court
here. The same question, it is be
lieved, has been settled in other com
munities where social clubs exist.

A r,rh, Win Hostile Indians.

A Deming New Mexico) special says !:
A courier arrived at Silver City last
night with the information that Captain
Fountain, Troop @, Eighth cavalry, and
his scouts surprised the hostiles on the
9th instant at Lilies cabin. three miles
southeast of Papinoes. The Indians
had murdered Lille and an old man
named Prior, and had just set lire to
Lilies cabin when the troops came
upon them. The troops charged and
had lively fight, wounding several
Indians and, it is believed, killing two.
They captured fourteen Indian horses,
one mule, and all their supplies OF beef,
flour, and blankets. The Indians dis
persed in every direction. The noun
tains are covered with snow and the
weather is very cold. 1t is believed
that the hostiIes are endeavoring 70
reach Mexico, where they will seek
winter quarters.

NORFOLK AND PORTSMOUTH,


A xluaulsr and Fatal Accidsni-Bisw the
Gas Out Vessels In Distress Rs'saisns
Nstcs. :,
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch
NORFOLK, Dec. IA, 1855.
A singular and fatal accident hap
pened at the Mansion House, a hotel
on Union street, some time during Sat-
urday night. X. B. Berry, a merchant
of Moyock, Currituck county, N. o.,
retired to his room between Q and IL
O'Clock, and on Sunday morning ne
was found dead in his bed, and the
room full Of gas and gas escaping with
considerable noise from the burner.
The man had extiDguished the gaslIght
by blowing it out instead Of turning
of the pressure in the regular way.
The remains were forwarded to Moyock
by the Norfolk and Southern road this
morning.
Two vessels arrived from the North
to-day in distress, having their sails
blown away and otherwise damaged by
the storms of last week. A third YES
sci, the Morse, from Brunswick, Me-,
to New York, in company with these
vessels, is believed to be lost, being
waterlogged when last seen. The
Morse was loaded with lumber.
A large quantity Of wreckags wash
ed ashore at Cape Henry yesterday is
believed to belong to the schooner Al
bemarle, which foundered off Hog
island on Friday.
A fleet of coasters will load at Lam
bert's Point piers this week with Poca-
hontas coal for ports in the West Indies.
Rev. w. Z. Edwards, d. D., Of Rich
mond, preached twice yesterday--ln
Portsmouth in the morning and in this
city at GIanby-Street church at night.
Notwithstanding the prevailing storm,
he had large congregations to hear him.
The Norfolk wreckers have gone to
work on the schooner Maria and Eliza
beth. which foundered Thursday oil
Cape Charles.
The wrecking steamer Resolute re.
turned last night, having made failure
in trying to reach Charleston, S. g., or
account of continuous storms. She wa;
blown 400 miles off the coast from Cape
Lookout, and when she sighted land
again she was off Cobb's Island and
leaking badly, with hole in her bot
tom. ".

Goldmark is looked upon by the mu-
steal critics as the most promising
operate musician in Germany to-day.
Marshal Serrano almost to the last
moment of his life insisted upon walking
about his house and gardens. His
nervous system was so unsettled that
he could not keep still with comfort.
Mr.. Sturgeon, the popular London
preacher, has grown old prematurely,
and is now quite broken in health. He
has overworked himself, and exercised
too little moderation in eating and using
tobacco.
Patti was almost overrun by beggars
in Paris-not an uncommon experience
in that city. In ten days the demand
upon her in person and by letter--for

Representative Horr's successor in
Congress, Mr.. Timothy Tarsney, is said
to be teller Of very funny stories, and
there are hopes that he will swell into
the proportions Of great American
humorist. He says, however, that he
doesn't think the floor Of Congress is
the proper place to be funny on.

fond of using postal-cards for his COM

nothing must be written on the address

initials there. Thus the recipient is

Let Us Mako the Best Of It.
Instead Of predicting that dire calam-
tiles will fall upon the country as . re-
suit Of the continued coinage Of silver
dollars, the papers ought to make the
best Of the situation. 1t has been
moved in the House Of Representatives
again and again, but the repeal OF the
BLAND law has always failed Of accom-
piishment. The New York Times's
Washington correspondent said the
other day that although the
House Of Representatives had been in
session only four days, 1t had already
received eighteen petitions from citizens
Of eleven States praying that Congress
should take no action hostile to the sill
yer dollar. Some Of the petitioners, ne
adds, content themselves with simply
asking for the free coinage Of silver,
but in majority Of cases the prayer is
that the coinage Of silver be placed
upon an equality with the coinage OF
gold that coin certificates be issued in
denominations Of five dollars and less,
and that one and two-dollar notes be
kept in circulation and issued in quanti-
ties sufficient to meet the wants of labor
and trade.
It does no good to say that these Pc
titions come from producers OF silver,
nor that the petitioners are ill-informed,
nor that spectators in silver bullion
are the instigators of such movements.
The fact remains that silver is to con-
tinue to be part Of the currency Of the
country, and Congress should 60 to
work at once to pass law that will
utilize the silver bullion Of the country.
Mr.. WARNER proposes to issue certi6-
Gates based upon the real value of the
bullion. 1t does seem to us that there
is the promise of compromise in that
proposition. Let congressional mono
metalists cease their wailings and try
to make the best Of the circumstances
surrounding them. This is no time to
stand by theories.

Long Hunt for u Criminal.

A Buffalo special says: Deputy
Sheriff Carlton arrived here last night
with a fugitive forger, whom he ar
rested in Ellis county, Kan., after a
long hunt in which 1900 miles were
travelled. The prisoner was David Q.
Jones, and his crime consisted of pass
ing a forged note for 1926 on the
Manufacturers and Traders Bank Of
this city on November 10, 1884.
Jones had before that been Spectator
in farms, and is alleged to have swim
died western New York farmers out of
between $4,000 and 100000. Jones
purchased big cattle ranch near Hays
City, in Ellis county, but the officers
did not learn of his hiding-place until
last April, when Carlton arrested him.
Meanwhile he had made many friends
in Hays City and they secured a writ
of hajeas corpus. Jones was beaten
but was left in Jail over night. lie
escaped and has since eluded the officer.
Carlton went West again four weeks
ago, determined to capture Jones. He
heard that if he made the attempt
the local friends of the pris-
oner would interfere and have
him kept there on the charge
of breaking Jail. Carlton quietly chased
Jones all over the county, but, until a
few days ago, could not get him. With
another officer he drove at 3 "A. Nj. to
the ranch and arrested Jones, who con-
scented to 60 with them if they went to
Hays City. They drove eighty-fve
miles across the country to small sta
ton on the Atchison, Topeka, and
Santa Fe railroad, where they took the
tram for Kansas City, getting out OF
the State without any trouble. Jones's
friends did not discover his absence In
time to interfere. He expects to gel
bail tomorrow, but will probably have
trouble securing it.

The Chicago Tribune gives an entire
page to the results Of an investigation
made by the Hon. p. NJ. Sutton, . State
senator Of Iowa, into the working OF
the prohibi.ory liquor law in that State.
The inquiry has been very thorough,
impartial, and intelligent. 1t estab-
