The cholera ravages continue in Italy;

San Antonio invites the dread disease.

upon the city dads, times without num-

Could the lottery statistics of this
state be correctly presented, it would be
an interesting document. Just how
much money is paid out for lottery
tickets and how much received, would
be an instructive lesson in comparative
investments. On the whole the balance
OF profit must be largely against the
state, and that in proportion to the
amounts invested. AS the whole profits
Of the Louisiana State lottery are enor-
nous, the profits derived from the peo-
pie of any state must be no inConsider-
able sum. As to the restrictive meas
ures employed by Uncle Sam to restrain
lottery patrons from the use Of the mails
there may be two sides; but If lotteries
are to be patronized, If Texas is to pay
out thousands Of dollars annually for lot
terry tickets, why not start a state lottery
and keep the funds at home?

MEA CULpA. The LIGHT omitted to
put little hyphen between the years
that Fitzgerald was foreman for grader
and roadmaker Nelson, and the years
that he was foreman for that same Nelson
in practically that same work, as street
commissioner. For this omission. not
affecting at all the matter at issue, the
Times vibrates its John rabbit auricles
unnecessarily and he-haws more cuss
words at the LIGHT than are usually
found in the vocabulary of sandy-haired
clergymen whose piety has fallen into
nOXIOus desuetude.

The opening Of the new line OF steam
ships between Hayre and America was
the occasion of petition 20 the French
minister Of commerce and industry, NJ.
LOckroy, asking for the removal Of the
restrictions on American bacon. This
memorial was presented by the work
ingmen of Havre, and set forth the fact.
that the handling of the increased ship
ments which would result would add
5000 francs year to the wages OF the
port. This would indicate that the
trade in American pork would become
a mammoth enterprise in the event OF
the restrictions being removed. The
question Of admitting American meats
into France. in so far as it IS matter
affecting the Industries Of that country,
is wholly without our concern but, it is
matter of vital Importance that the
reasons of that restrictions should be
placed on proper grounds. The reasons
adduCed when the embargo was laid
were that American pork was unwhOle-
some. This falsehoOd having been eX-
pIOded, it is high time that America
was set right before the world.

scope Of those " other branches usually
taught in schools OF technology" than
that Of those detailed in the bill, let
US inquire what course student should
pursue in order b be ready TO "mlne
the minerals Of the State in competi-
ton with the ability we have hereto
fore had to import, and thus to relieve
us from dependence on those outside
of our borders" A thorough course
in mining engineering must embrace
algebra, geometry (plane and solid,
mechanical drawing, trigonometry, an
alytical geometry, surveying, chemistry
and chemical analysis, mechanics, lab
oratory work, metallurgy, and assay
ing. Besides, knowledge Of French
and German must be had in order to
omen to the student the treasures in his
professional work published in those Ian
euages. Again, as his special choice
NAV incline towards the mining, the
geological, or the metallurgical side Of
his subject, he must go further in GER
tain directions. If he wishes to 10 a
mining surveyor and engineer he must
carry his mathematical studies through
the diferential and the integral caicu-
lus; must devote more time to survey
ing must study course OF mineralogy
and geology and applied mechanics, and
do special work in q mining laboratory.
II he would equip himself for geolosi-
cal surveys, with a view to the deter
mination Of the value Of geological de-
posits. he must make special study OF
physical geography, of mineralogy and
geology, Of botany, Of zoology, &C.,
and do some geological work. Lastly,
if be would be a metallurgist he must
10 large work in general and industrial
chemistry, in the mining laboratory
and in special metallurgical inyestiga-
tion.
How small a part Of such an equip
mcnt would be supplied by the -" arlth-
metic, algebra, geometry, mechanical.
and free-hand drawing" of the bill, Is
apparent but this lower course would
be a very necessary preparation for it.
The work Of founding a school Of
technology is, indeed, one worthy Of
great State and if a good one were
established it cannot be doubted that 1t
would be deemed worthy Of State aid.
The department Of mechanic arts
should have a somewhat wider scope
than that set forth in the bill; but this
would follow at once if it were a de-
partment Of such a school of techuol-
ogy as this city ought to have. And
this department might well continue to
be a night school, for the special all of
our mechanics for the school at Blacks
burg should supply in this direction
the needs Of other students throughout
the State. We all hope that the latter
school may soon under the administra-
ton of its Board Of Visitors, who are
most anxious for its success, step for
ward into the place it was intended and
is equipped to occupy. The Institute
school here need be no rival of 1t, and
will not be so regarded if itself only a
department in large and liberal school
of technology. In successful school
Of this sort the department in question
is not likely to furnish more than a
tenth of its students.
How may this city secure such a
school of technology? Already this
paper is too extended to attempt this
question now. We shall endeayor to
suggest an answer in another. b. 5.

The MISUNDERSTANDING Bill.


The bill for State aid to the Me-
chanics' Institute presents questions
which deserve to arouse the interest Of
thoughtful citizens. The leading object
Of the bill as far as the interests of the
institute are mainly involved is found
in the following extract from it
THE said Institute shall have
authority to organize a sys-
TEN of industrial schools in which
shall be taught arithmetic, algebra, geo.
metry, mechanical, architectural, and
free hand drawing, and such other
branches Of study as are usually taught
in schools of technology"
1.-The one grand feature Of the lnsti-
tute,' says the author Of the published
explanations calculating the bill, will
be its educational department. Here
the youth of our State who work day
after day in our shops can at evening
time attend this school. Virginia boys
will be educated to mine her minerals,
build her bridges, construct her rail
roads, take charge of her manufactures,
and no longer will we have to depend
upon those outside Of our borders to
develop that which should be ours
Alone
To any one who has kept himself in
formed Of the development of techno-
logical study in this country the con-
viction will be unavoidable that, whilst
the intent of the bill is most commend
able, the problem is approached from
the wrong side. Those studies which
are relegated to the very general de-
scription in the closing clause Of the
extract aboye-namely, the - other
branches usually taught in schools Of
technology form the indispensable,
the higher, the more extended course
in any school worthy Of the name. TO
tack these on as a mere addendum to
the night-school of the Institute is a
mistake IN locating them. 1t is an at
tempt Of the tail to wag the dog; and
the usual result might be expec,ed-the
dog would refuse to wag and become
disguised with the tail. For Viz
ginia boys to secure those grand bene-
fits so we'll set forth in the remarks
of the author of the explanations quoted
above, it will be absolutely necessary
to begin at the other end. If only we
can secure the larger object, the night
school of the Institute, which would
belong to the subordinate department
of what may be called the mechanic
arts, would assume form and efli-
cheney that must meet every reasonably
expectation of its friends. Besides,
the bright boys in it who may long to
have greater opportunities would find
them, and could indeed learn to mine
the minerals Of their native State or Of
any other, to build her bridges, to con-
struct her railroads aad to manage
them when constructed, and not only
to take charge Of her manufactures,
but to initiate others and to carry them
to success. These are grand aims, and
grandly would they rebound to the
wellbeing Of this State and this city.
To show how much greater is the
