Accosting an uptown riverman on Sat-
urday-an experienced fisherman, with .
pair Of empty nets in his possession and no
signs Of fish-a Patriot reporter inquired:
"Well, what luck, Kemp?"
"No luck at oil, don't yer seer"
"How does that happen? You, the best
fisherman in the upper section of the city,
with no fish in your hands to-day"
"On natural principles to be sure"
Explain, will you?"
''Sartinly. Yer'see the eels hev oil gone
down the river, and If | he'd err left these

up yonder, till the nets would hev rotted,

towards the reporter, An invitation 20 help

parting company remarked: 'Kemp, il

"Well, yer see, fish, like men, sometimes

Special Elections for County Officers
FINCAsTLE, February 25, 1885.

~ WI -N' ft'F'
To the Editor ofth Dispatch:
In the Acts of the Legislature,
lSS3-'84, page 432, chapter 32S, ) 8.
it is provided as follows-viz
"wrlts Of election to I'LL vacancies in
county, corporation, and district offices
shall be issued by the judge OF the County or
Corporation Court Of the counties or corpo-
nations I'm which such vacancies occur. 80
that vacancies in county. corporation ana
district Offices shall be filed at the next
0fBerdi election for cOunfg officers after such
vacancies occur. The term OF Office OF all
county, corporation, and district officers
elected under this section shall commence
on the LIST day of July next succeeding this
election $3.50
We have in our county (BotetOurt)
two vacancies-one in the Office of
sheriff and one for commissioner of the
revenue for the Upper district both
county officers. The Hon. George
Swami, judge of the County Court, has
issued writs of election TO fill these va
'cancics at the coming May election.
The question is being discussed now
whether or not we can hold an election
for these offices under the law as it
now stands. Some of the members of
the bar take the position that the cleo
ton can be held others that it cannot.
If the position taken by the latter be
true, the power to issue a writ Of cleo
ton to fill a vacancy occurring is by
the statute quote above virtually abol-
ished, save as to that Of clerk, for all
the county offices expire at the same
time.
ask you to be kind enough TO an
Swer the question through the columns
of your paper, Whether or not we can
hold legal election under the statute
as it stands! a.
The law, as it appears i'll the pub
lished Acts of Assembly, is muddle.
The words, 4" the same shall be tempo
rarily filled 10y the judge of" are
omitted in the llth line of the Sth sec
ton. Again 1t is provided that vacan-
cies in corporation Offices shall be filled
at the next general election for county
officers. The object Of the Legislature
seems to have been to provide that
county, corporation, and district officers
should be elected only at general cleo
tioE-that is, when some other Off
GERS were to be elected but the
law as it stands reads, at the next
general election for county c6ieers.'
These last words in italics do not belong
in the law, we suppose. 1t is impossi-
bic TO carry out the new law as it stands
in the Acts Of Assembly. Anybody's
construction Of such a law is as good as
anybody elSe's. Wepresume the LegiS-
lature intended to provide for special
elections; but if so. its intention was
not carried out. We beg, therefore, to
he excused from attempting to say what
law means which provides that all
special elections shall be regular cleo
tons.

GlndsfOne's Side.

Sir William Vernon HarcOurt, speak
ing in the House Of Commons Thurs
day, said that as General Gordon had
died in defence of Khartoum, the only
fitting way to accomplish the evacua-
ton Of the Soudan was for British
troops to recapture Khartoum and to
release that city and every other cap
tured or beleaguered place between Khar-
toum and Cairo from the clutches Of
the Mahdi. 1t was the imperative duty
Of England to suppress the Mahdi's
revolt. The Government recognized
this duty and was energetically stri-
wing TO perform it. If the Tories
were TO come into power to-mor-
row they could do no more than was
now being done in this direction. The
speaker quoted General Gordon to the
effect that the Soudan would prove an
expensive and useless possession. He
said he knew no reason why the over
throw of the Mahdi should prevent the
placing of the Soudanese in the position
which General Gordon desired them to
attair-selfgovernment under their own
Sultan. Only the conviction that it was
impossible to retreat and leave the
Mahdi with great military force in
possession of khartoum induced the
speaker to sanction the Govern
ment's policy. He argued that Mr..
GoSchen's questions were unreasonable.
The Government could only be expected
to promise to endeayor to make settle
ment which would be most conducive
10 the end it had in view. He believed
that, even if a majority placed the reins
of Government in the hands Of the Con-
seryatives. the same majority would re-
fuse to allow an addition to England's
responsibilities. England. he declared.
was unable to support another India in
Africa, and public opinion would never
allow it. Loud Liberal cheerS.I

An educational s. experiment" isnow
in progress in New York which mas
fair to 60 great way towards solving
the problem Of REFRESHING crime ana
pauperism among the young, and corise-
quently Of abating those evils IN future
generations. Some seven years ago
working-school was established oy
number Of benevolent gentlemen OF that
city for the purpose of testing the o.
fects Of certain course OF education OF
The most abandoned and vicious Arabs
Of the streets. These gentlemen held
that the public-school system could not
be adapted to the individual needs oil
the class they sought to benefit. They
commended that in the public schools
the pupils are handled in Masses and
are sent through given process which,
while il meets the educational wants oil
the average, does not in the least adjust
itself TO the necessities Of large num-
Der Of exceptional cases; also, that TO
put such exceptional cases into the pub
lie schools would be detrimental to that
system. Acting upon this idea they
have. ever since the establishment oil
their working-school, sought out as pu-
nils those children who from appearance
and environment gave the least promise,
determined to see if kindly treatment and
careful instruction would not serve to
wean them or some Of then-from the
streets and encourage them to employ
their energies TO better advantage. The
course is similar in many respects to
that of the English industrial schools
recently referred to in these columns
in discussing industrial education. A
part of the time is devoted to books
and part to industrial employment.
The child is not, however, forced to
take up any trade that may present it
self. but is free to select one that
is pleasing TO his taste and for
which he has natural incllna-
ton. This rule is also allowed to
obtain in the matter Of his studies.
And the result of the system has been
mostgratifying. Theconclusion reached
by the founders Of the school is that
children are not naturally vicious, but
arc rendered so by surroundings or in
fiuences. II has been found, they de-
clare. that in no case was there any
evidence of inherent viciousness, and
while this fact may not be sufficient to
disprove the theory of heredity in crime,
mendicancy, &C., they are enabled to state
that -. not one child out Of the multi
tude which has applied for admission
has been found TO be beyond the reach
of intelligent treatment; not one has
been found whose evil propensities were
more than skin deep" On the contrary,
many have been taught to respect them
selves and to recognize the dignity of
labor, and have been prepared to earn
their livelihood by legitimate work.
Considering that it is only question of
time when we shall have large gamin
class to contend with, there is a wealth Of
suggestion in this experiment to those
who do not see the necessity for build
ing a work-house or house of corrcc-
ton in Richmond.

In Vermont recently JOSEPH WHITE
was fined $40 and his wife 81 for amusing
themselves at the expense of their ward,
a girl aged twelve years. Occasionally
these worthy people would compel the
child TO stand upon Il hot stove; but
when they wanted to have an espe-
cially funny time they would fasten her
TO the wall by sticking pins through
her ears. The st. Paul (Minn.) Globe.
commenting on this original diversion,
remarks:
1.-The loyal State Of Vermont ought
TO be ashamed Of such Il record and
such lenient laws. Such an occurrence
in the South would have given the Re-
publican party platform for three
