Be this as it may, on last Monday

his hand, beckoned the others to follow

'"The council have decided not to have

Obituary.

ObituarY.
Mrs. VIM. NJ, Rapsher, daughter of
Thomas and Eliza Faith, of this place,
departed this life at her home in Mauch
Chunk, last Saturday morning, June
5th. The deceased was born in Lehigl-
ton, June 12, 1S49, and at an early age
connected herself with the Trinity
Evangelical Lutheran church, 10 which
faith she was firm adherant up 10 the
time of her death. On the 5th day of
September 1860, she was united in mar
riage to VIM. NJ. Rapsher, and up to
about year ago had their home in this
borough, where they had large circle
of friends; four children were the fruits
of their marriage-three boys and one
girl--of whom two boys, Charlie and
Willie, survive her. She was inferred
in the Lehighton cemetery, last Tues
day afternoon; large concourse of
sorrowing relatives and friends followed
the remains to their last resting place.
The floral offerings from relatives and
friends were many and beautiful. We
extend our sympathy to the sorrowing
husband and children, to the bereaved
father, mother, and sisters of the de-
ceased, who has left this world of sor-
row and trial to enter the better one
above where all is joy, peace and love.
''Yes, the sweet Gardener hath borne her
hence,
Nor must thou ask to take her thence away;
Thou shalt behold her in some coming hour,
Full blossomed in his fields of coming day."

The average northerner's information
about the recent history of the material
welfare OF southern cities is both limited
and vague. He is prone to regard them
all as dead or decaying towns, still
suffering from the rayages Of war and
too weary and shiftless to cast off pail
Of Incidence popularity supposed to
have fallen like a smothering mantle
over the entire South. One city he
excerpts. Atlanta he pictures as semi
northern city, infused with northern
blood and capital and bristling with
northern ideas and enterprises. All
others are dead-hopelessly, pitifully
dead.
Richmond. the seat of the COnfede-
Tacy, and the theatre of many Of the
grandest scenes in the great tragedy Of
war, is Of course included among them.
But here comes Mr.. p. j. Toomey, the
itinerant member OF the firm OF NoXon,
Albert d Toomey. the noted scenic
artists, and brushes away the error
with stubborn facts. lie pictures Rich
mOnd as a fine city, with lovely
climate. the place that would suit him
above all others for residence. The
city, be says, is prosperous and grow
ing in a remarkable degree. Her peo-
pie are energetic, progressive, and fully
abreast the times in business and social
enterprises. In brief, he says our ideas
Of the place are entirely at fault.
Mr.. Toomey superintended the paint
ing of full set of scenery for the Mozart
Academy of Music, and his commission
kept him in the city nearly two months.
This theatre is fine structure. 1t was
undertaken by the Mozart Musical
Association. whose membership COM
pIises nearly 900 Of the prominent
musical and business men Of Richmond.
During his stay Mr.. Toomey attended
the inaugural ball given New-Year's
night to mark the incoming Of the new
Governor, Fitzhugh Lee. A large
armory hall was used for a ballroom
and supper was served in an adjacent
theatre, the stage OF which was con-
vertedin into a kitchen. Over COO couples
were in attendance. The dancing-room
was deliberately trimmed with flags,
bunting, cut flowers and plants, in
GLIDING rare exotics. Mr.. Toomey was
particularly impressed with the great
number Of beautiful women and exqui-
site toilets. 1t was a dazzling, Devil
dering revelation, and Chat suspects it
to be not unimportant part of the secret
of this our modern argonaut's enthusi-
asm for the Old Dominion city. The
ball cost about S. 600, and Mr.. Toomey,
who attended the inaugural ball given
for President Cleveland, thinks it far
surpassed the Washington affair in the
beauty Of the ladies, the elegance Of
dress, and the elaborateness of deco
ration.
These facts present Richmond in anew
light to northern eyes. Mr.. Toomey
took occasion while in the city to listen
TO Jasper, the colored minister who has
won some nOtOriety by sermOnizing on
the assertion that the sun do move

there is no such thing as the possibility
Of clean hands on anybody. Washed

scientifically unclean; that is to say,
that preparation called sterilized gela-

thus washed and supposed to be clean,
Immediately develops living organisms
acquired from the fingers. But if the
hands are washed in a dilute solution Of
bichloride Of mercury, or corrosive sub
Innate, one part to 1000 parts of

and no living organisms will be devel-
