The latest use of electric lighting is
the illumination of the harvest field. 1t
seems that in Algeria the heat is at pres.
ent so intense during the daytime that it
is found impossible to work then, and ii
is proposed to light up the fields by cleo
tricity and gather in the harvest by an
artificial sun.

calf is practically, but not to be gen.
orally commended. There is not only a
decrease in yield in COWS so kept, but
the milk is less digestible. 1t is nearly
or quite as much labor to milk farrow
COW as one giving a fresh flow of milk.
The COW, if we'll fed, may be MIXED un-
til six or eight weeks of the time for
calving, or even up to it If necessary, but
it is better to allow several weeks for the
cow to get into condition for producing
a large flow of milk when she calves.
Objections have been made to rye as
containing ergot, which is injurious, but
all grains and grasses are equally unfor-
tunate in that respect. The difficulty is
due more to imprope. management than
to any injurious substance contained in
the crop. When stock have been de-
prived Of roots or ensilage, and confined
to a dry diet, they are liable to eat too
much green rye when turned upon it too
early. By allowing the stock but a short
period upon the rye field in the begin
ming, and gradually extending the time
daily, but little injury will be done, but
if the stock receives no care, and the rye
field is given up to the animals, the re-
suits will be diarrhga and debility.

The MikadO at the Theatre.

Gilbert & Sullivan's latest opera, the
Mikado pronounced Me-kar-doj, was
presented last evening for the first time
in hichmond. The Theatre was filed
to oycrhowing with a brilliant audi
ence. Every seat in the house was oc-
cupied. and most Of the standing-room
In this. as in their former operas, the
author and composer exhibit that hap
py faculty Of working so thoroughly
together the musical score always re-
fecting the thoughts and character OF
the libretto. The work is entirely
original and is something singularly
novel; yet. to our mind, it is far infe-
rior in every respect to their other
operas. which have the characteristic
initial P-yiz.. Pinafore, Pirates, and
Patience. With the abandoning Of this
initial character in the selection Of the
titles for their operas, Messrs.
Gilbert & Sullivan seem to have
lost some Of their force in COM
position. The satire running throughout
the libretto Of - The Mikado " is cer-
tainly very bright, and all in that sin
gular vein so peculiar to the author.
And the extravagant caricatures Of the
foibles Of human nature IN official life
as shown in an eastern court are very
clever. The music is bright. but by no
means up to Mr.. Sullivan's former
standard. The best portion is in the
second act. The quaTtette, the sex
tette, the solo Of " Kiti,ha." aud the
finale therein are excellent numbers.
The rendition Of the opera by the
company last evening. under the direc-
ton Of Mr.. George W. Denham. was
meritorious and spirited. The chorus
is full and effective. especially the male
portion. As Ko-Ko" Mr.. Denham
was immense. lie is a rare comedian,
and always makes the parts he essays
singularly amusing. The song ne IN
troduces in the first act fairly capti-
yated his audience, and the many re-
calls he received must have taxed the
patience even ofoue so obliging a. be. Mr..
Louis Raymond a. " The Mikado - was
excellent. lie has a good bass voice.
and both sings and acts well. Miss
Alice Way gave finished and fcrcible
impersonation Of katisha." She Is
lyric ac.ess Of decided ability, and
sings with much taste and expression.
Mr.. Louis Carlberg's "PoOh-Bah .
was excellent. while Misses Haas,
Nell Mitchell, Lucy Mitchell, Mr..
Joseph Armand, Mr.. W. L. Voss,
Jr.. and Mr.. Sherwood Royston
were pleasing in their respective
r0les. The Suggesting was pretty
and bright, and altogether an evening
Of much amusement and pleasure was
afforded the large audience present.
The Mikado will be repeated to-
night, at a matiRee tomorrow, and to-
morrow night.

Observation-Disclosures, sept. y. 1885.
The annual exhibition Of the Bristol
Goodson Border Fair commenced last
Tuesday, 22d, and continued fourdays.
The weather was very fine after the
frs day. and there was very excel
lent showing of farm products aud
stock Of cattle and horses. The ladies'
department was very fine, and. taken
upon the whole. it was the best fair We
have had for many years. Very large
crowds were in attendance and every
thing passed oil very pleasantly and
satisfactorily.
The Democrats Of Goodson had a
grand rally Saturday night, and very
able speeches from Colonel O'Ferrall
and Mr. Massey. a very large croyd
heard the two distinguished gentlemen
for at least three or four hours. and you
know without being told that Malone
Republicanism was laid bare by them.
The Democratic ticket is ." booming "
all through Southwest Virginia. Col
onel O'Ferrall and Mr.. Massey are just
in from Scott. Lee, and Wise. and they
bring cheering news from those noun
tain counties. If Eastern Virginia will
come up to her usual vote the State
ticket, believe. will be elected by 3d.
coo. Colonel 0'Ferrall told me that
he felt sure that Scott and Lee would
elect Democrats to the House.
Washington county will give Fulker-

Lewis Hand rire-Extingutsher,

A test Of this apparatus was had on
the vacant lot between the Blanchard
warehouse and the Richmond and Dan
vile depot at 5 o'clock yesterday after
noon. Among the spectators present
were Mr.. Ainslie, ex-Chief Of the Fire
Department; Captain Green, superln-
tendent Of the Richmond and Danyille
Railroad Company; Lysander Courtney,
c. W. Tanner. - Joseph. Hayden
Gillian, Oscar Weisiger, of Wherry 4
Wcisiger; Mr.. Riddick, assistant pur-
chasing agent Of the Richmond and
Danylle Railroad Company. and others.
A large chimney-shaped pine box fill
ed with split pine wood, paper,
and other inhammable material.
saturated with kerosene oil. was used
for the exhibition. The fire was allowed
to burn for about two minutes and
acquire considerable volume before the
extinguisher was used but in the
briefcst period Of time imaginable the
rising volume Of smoke evidenced the
fact that the fire was entirely subdued.
The success was astonishing, and all Of
the spectators so expressed themselves.
This admirable device consists Of a tin
tube about eighteen inches long with
two inches diameter, with perforated
diaphram one inch from the opening end.
The stopper is Of tin, and has a wire hook
with which it hangs up, and when the
fire is observed the extinguisher Is
taken hold Of, given a slight jerk, and
the pipeis open ready for use. The fluid
used is q chemical combination which
has the extinguishing power Of about
5.0C0 times its quantity Of water. Its
construction is simple, and the instru-
ment can be used by anybody-lady or
child. The exhibition was given by
Nessrs. John W. Otley IL Co.. of this
city, who are the agents for the State
Of Virginia. The success Of this re-
markable invention has secured its
recognition as the best fire-extin-
gusher known, and its sales are
exceeding the expectations Of the in
yentor. On the testimony Of ex-Chief
Ainslie. of the Fire Department. it is
stated that this fire would have taken
LOCO gallons Of water and one min
ute's time to have been extinguished
by the Fire Department. These ex-
tinguishers have been adopted by some
of the leading corporations Of the
country. including the Pullman Palace
Car Company, the Union Pacific Rail
way Company, and many others, and
should be used by all corporations and
private individuals for the protection Of
their lives and property.

CORCORAN HALL.

Ihs-ehurch Hin New Building Formally
Opened-intsrestins Exercise. Last Night.
The Corcoran Hall new building.
situated on Twenty-fifth street, be-
tween Broad and Marshall, was for
mally opened with grand concert last
night. The weather was pleasant,
and the seating capacity Of the
hall was heavily taxed. The build
ing is in beautiful location,
and is an imposing structure Of brick,
with a very handsome front Of stock
and rough brick. Its complete cost is
about sl3, 900, most Of which has been
paid by subscription. 1t is three
stories high. The first story is used
for fairs, feasts, festivities, balls. &C.,
the second for concerts and the like,
and the third for lodge-rooms.
The exercises opened with Sc
lections from " Ernani." (Verdi,l by
Jardella's brass band, after which
Mr.. 7. Wiley Davis walked to the
front of the stage and said the small
but pleasant duty of introducing the
orator Of the evening, Hon. Samuel b.
Witt, had been assigned him, but that
ls was sorry TO announce that Mr..
Witt had very suddenly and un-
expectedly been telegraphed TO at
tend the bedside Of his sick wife.
Mr.. Davis made a brief address
Of welcome, and speaking OF the
history Of the hall, said that about
eighteen months ago a few Of the enter
prising citizens of Church Hill, feeling
the need of public hall, met and de-
teimined, if possible, to supply
this long-felt want books of SUBJ
scription were opened, the stock was
taken, charter granted, and less than
ayear ago the cornerstone was laid with
imposing and appropriate ceremonies,
and now the labors Of these gentlemen
have been crowned with success and
they have a beautiful and commodious
ball.
After the address followed the concert.
under the management Of Captain
Frank Cunningham, with Mr.. Kirk Ma
thews as accompanist. The quar-
tettes by Mrs. Jennie Baird-McRae,
Mrs. John II. Knowles, and Messrs. II.
I. Cardoza and F. W. Cunningham, as
well as the solos by the same persons,
were fine selections beautifully rendered.
The instrumental numbers by Jardella's
brass octette, as well as the clarinet
and trombone duos by Messrs. Jardella
and Equi, were exceptionally fine. In
short. the concert was perfect success.
In this building, both as to archi-
toctural appearance and convenience,
Church Hill has one which will COM
pare fayOrably with any in the city.
