WE'LL KNOWN IN RICHMOND.

Mr.. Watson, who was among those
who died OF yellow fever Mt Jacksonville,
Fla, was well known in Richmond, and
was held in high esteem. He lived in
Richmond for some years, was employed
in Latimer's drugstore, and graduated
in pharmacy at the Virginia Medical
College. he was an extraordinarily
bright and apt pupil. and DIR. Nj. l..
james, who was at the time Professor Of
Materia Medics in the college. says he
never examined a more thorough scholar
or knew more high-toned gentleman.
Mr.. Watson was a son OF a Methodist
minister. and native of Smithfield, Va.
He leaves a wife and child, who are now
IN Virginia.

Mr.. w. II. Poythress, employed at Mr..
T. Roberts Bakers spothecary here, yes
terday received telegram announcing
the dangerous illness from yellow-feyer
of his brother, Walter +. Poythress, a
druggist in Jacksonville.
The unfortunate gentleman was for n
considerable time in business in this
city with Meade & Baker and left for
Danville and from Danville went South.
He is well known in Richmond, and the
general hope is that the next announce
ment may convey the information that
he is improving and that his valuable
life will be saved TO his family and to the
stricken people of Jacksonville.

THE RESULT.

BY examining the table it will he seen
that by March, 1878, the river was mar
rowed by q little more than half.
The action of the current was to
scour out the bottom. 1t did so
until the average depth was double
what it was at first, and then equilibrium
was restored. The widths were again
narrowed in September and again III
December. The effort of the river to re-
store the cross sectional area can be seen
after each reduction OF width, aud III
March, 1881, the width had been mar
rowed by Go per cent, the average depth
mad increased by l5l per cent, whereas
the cross section returned to within 3
per cent. Of what it was at first.
BY 1884 the final narrowing had been
done, and an inspection OF the third
column of the table will show how each
year the river did its own dredging. In
1887 the cross section was three tenths OF
per cent. OF what it was thirteen years
before, Notwithstanding the fact that the
width was reduced to Just little more
than a third of what it originally was.

This table is interpreted rs follows ::
In 1874 the width of the river was 200
feet NEARLY quarter of mile, its sec
ton was COOS qusre feet us greatest
depth was % feet, while its average
depth WAS only l.97 feet.
The river vas narrowed by a wing
dam IN 1876. OF course narrowing the
stream in this manner reduced the sec
tional area, and the interesting question
was, Would the current scOur out the
bottom so as to make the cross sectional
area return to what it was at first Thus.
if the bed Of the river be supposed to
be a rectangle, 200 feet wide and five
feet deep, its cross sectional area would
be l, 9O', multiplied by 5 equal to 5000
square iset of area. suppose, then, the
width was made GOO feet. C., halved-
then the depth would become double
1. C., 1870 that the 600 multiplied by
10 should equal the same 600 square feet.

Burning Bricks in a Kiln.

Burning bricks in kiln seems to be a very
easy matter, but if one looks into the busi-
ness he will find that such an impression Is
entirely incorrect. | have been at the bust
ness twenty-five years, and believe that |
am in position to speak intelligently on the
subject. When the bricks leave the press
they arc taken TO the kilns and piled IN such
a manner as to permit the heat TO reach every
brick OF course, the layers near the fires
are always burned harder than those on top,
and il is the amount of heat that regulates
the grades. The bricks that get the most
heat are strictly hard; further up you will
find the medium and on the top Of the kilns
we get the salmon, the softest grade, used FOR
filling up between the walls. When the fires
are started the greatest care must be eyer
cised. and il the burner who has charge oil
the kiln don't understand his business, he
may ruin the bricks Too much heat Will
bring about such ossult just the same as an
insufficient amount The stock brick, wbIc.
are formed in finer mods, are burned III
different kilns from the other grades, and, al
they are very hard, you can see that they
must be subjected to an intense heat.-Brick

In February last tho Tribune called
Trusts remarkable organizations which
have been formed with the intention OF
evsdiug all responsibility TO legislation,
to taxation, and TO the supervision ofthe
constituted authorities"
Now, then, how Is the Tribune to get u
line with the Big Chief Blaine. who has
!aken charge of the g. o. i. and put an
ex,inguisher on Harrison until his own
light blinds all others. The words OF
Blaine have already become familiar all
over the country to the effect that the
Trusts are largely private In their nature
and that neither the President nor any
body else has anything 10 do with them.
According to the Tribune the trusts are
very wicked institutions and conspira.
cies TO defraud the people out Of their
rights, and all this the organ reiterated
often How then is the Big Chief to get
the organ 10 play his own war song after
| il has been wildly squawking ON differ
ent theme in fact, as different as the
:" Old Hundred" is from the Rogues'
March.
In vain will the keynote" resound TO
the tune of trusts when the organ has
been playing dead march for The trusts
But so it must be always tina, the wicked
will be codfounded just by the working
of these contradictions and discrepancies
that logically result from the lack OF
truth.
There is a confusion about all the
u,terances and acts OF the Republicans
that becomes comical when we behold
the strong adhesion of the party under
such discouraging auspices.
Their big leaders who organized them
on active principles are all gone and the
time and destiny of the party are past.
They begin with a platform that is a
fat contradiction of the last one, anu
now the head and front of the whole con-
Germ blows another keynote which
contradicts the organ.
