Bound to See Her Husband.

A sensation was caused in police cir
cies here to-day by the discovery that
one of the prisoners in the city Jail who
was attired as man was woman.
The name of the prisoner is Henrietta
Hix. Her husband deserted her in
Boston few months ago. Learning
that he had come to Richmond, the
wife donned male attire and shipped on
board of vessel at Boston as a cook
about twelve weeks ago.
Upon reaching this city Mrs. Hix
discovered that her husband had been
arrested and committed to Jail for rob-
berry. Determined to gain access to
him and share his prison cell. the wom-
an stole small amount of money. She
was arrested. and without arousing the
suspicious of the authorities as to her
sex she was placed in the same cell
with Xix. The ruse was discovered to-
day and the husband and wife were
placed in separate cells. Hix confirms
the woman's story and says they were
married in Boston about two years ago.
1t is probable that Mrs. Xix will be
pardoned by the Governor. She Is
young and good-looking. Richmond

Fuel of Large Steamers.

Eagle Journal
Ocean steamers are large consumers
of coal. The Orient line, with their
fleet running to Australia every two
weeks, may be mentioned. The steam
thip Austral went from London to Sgd
ney in thirty-five days, and consumed
on the voyage 3,641 tons of coal; her
coal bunker holds 1850 tons. The steam
ship Oregon consumes over $50 tons per
day on her passage from Liverpool to
New York; her bunkers viii hold nearly
1000 tons, The Stirling Castle, last
year brought home in one cargo 1890
tons of tea, and consumed :, 800 tons of
coal in doing so.
Immense stocks of coal is kept at vari-
Gus coaling stations, st Vincent, Ma
deira, Port Said, Singapore, and others;
the reserve at the latter is about 1000
tons. 1t is remarkable with what rap
idity these steamers are coaled: for it
stance, the Orient steamship last year
took in over 100 tons at Point Said in
five hours.

A northern Independent pa
per, commenting on the partisan
press of New York, says: "From
the columns of our esteemed though
excitable republican contemporary,
the New York Tribune, we learn
that the really desperate and I'M
scrupulous partisan of the new ad-
ministration is Secretary Bayard,
who is rapidly filling the entire dip
lomatic and consular service with
the democrats of the deepest dye,
in wicked disregard of the civil ser
vice principle.
"From our esteemed democratic
contemporary, the New Y ork World,
we learn that Secretary Bayard, in
utter contempt of the democratic
party, is not only retaining republi-
cans in office, but has even had the
effrontery to promote to the posi-
ton of chief of the diplomatic bu-
reau Mr.. Sidney Everett, man of
long and wide experience, but a re-
publican in politics-or at least not
a democrat.
"These statements of Mr.. Bay
ards policy appear somewhat con-
flicting, but they are not irreconcil-
able. 1t is clear that he is not run
ming his department to please the
extreme partisans on either side, but
rather to please the great body of
the people. 1t is probable that Mr..
Bayard's head is more nearly level
than the heads of some of the criti-
cal Washington correspondents"

A writer in the Medical World
says that as opium is an antidote for
pain, so conversely, the real anti
dote for an overdose of opium is to
cause persistent pain. With this
idea he has soften placed hand
wise on the thumbs and snap clothes
pins on the fingers to neutralize the
effects of the drug" The method
appears to have been successful,
though the patients did not feel pain
until a considerable time after the
application. As the pain increased
in severity the pins were removed

great power, would create a fnan-
cial panic in the German empire
which would involve large and in
fuential class of its people in disas-
ter, if not ruin.
The remarkable phenomenon was
witnessed in London last week of
Russian securities steadily advanc-
ing in the market, while the sound
of machinery as preparations for
war were being made could be al
most heard on Change, and on ev-
cry side the people and press were
demanding that immediate steps
should be taken to avenge the af-
front that had been offered to Eng
land by the attack on her Afghan
allies. The English capitalists were
anxious to lend money to Russia
even while the members of parlia-
ment were sneering and mocking at
the prime minister for pursuing a
pacific and temporizing policy.
ANY one who will look behind the
scenes on the European stage will
see that greater power is welded by
the money kings than by the mon
archs who appear to hold the scep-
tres of the nations. No power dares
go to war in opposition to the will
and interests of the Rothschilds and
other leading capitalists of the
world These men have power to
decide the fate Of nations and die
tate the policy of empires. No
doubt they have made millions by
the fluctuations in the market for
government securities caused by the
recent warlike feeling between Eng
land and Russia
Money-cold, calculating cash
is King in Europe as well as else
where What is national honor ?
What is patriotism What does it
matter if thousands die on the bat
tle-feld, or if pestilence and famine
cause untold suffering throughout
the world The money interests
must be consulted first, last and all
the time.
So far as the recent crisis is con-
cerned, however, the conservative
influence of money has postponed
if not prevented, a conflict that
would have caused a shock through,
out the world. 1t will not be de-
MED that money properly used is an
almost irresistible power for good
while improperly used it is source
of infinite evil.
The bonds of peace and friend
ship in Europe now are of very
practical and business like nature
They consist of the interest-bearing
securities which are the evidence:
of national Indebtedness. These
bonds are more effective than sol
emn treaties or sacred internationa
obligations entered into by ambas
sailors and princes, and they out
weigh the influences of religion anC

mankind that the interests of CAPT
