vIRGiNEA's DISMAL SWAMP.
a Remarkable lake Lying Almost on
the top of Hill.
ffa voha

the top of q Hilf.
From the Exchanged
Ponder on this marvellous fact, says cor-
respondent: The lake of the Dismal Swamp
in Virginia, three miles by two and halS
in extent and from seven to fifteen feet in
depth, is situated on the aide and almost On
he top of hill, and yet it creates by overflow
tall round it for about /, 900 square miles one
of the denest and darkest morasses on the
surface of the earth.
In 1853 George Washington surveyed the
Dismal Swamp, and discovered that the vest
ern side was much higher than the eastern,
and that rivers ran out of the swamp, and
not into it. He then wrote that the swamp
was s'neither plain nor hollow, but hill
side.n A member of the National Geologi-
cal Survey recently entered the Dismal
Swamp, proceeding westward from the Dis
Swamp Canal toward the lake, and found
| that the rise of the land was five and half
feet in seven miles.
We met this gentleman, Mr. Atkinson,
within the bounds of the swamp and On
hearing his statement asked him, "Could
the lake be lowered and the swamp drained
with such an inclinefo
etCertainly," he said. ttIt is very decid
ed watershed. Bnt opening from the lake t,
the tide, on the Elizabeth River on one sid
and the Pasquotank on the other, would hay
fall of 90 6-10 feet in distance of les
than fifteen miles.

EXAMPLES OF READY WIT.
some Good stories that may Have Been
Told Befere.

EFronn Chamber JournaLl
None of the professions seems more de-
voted to ready wit than that of the law; and
judging from the following story this devot-
ion is Of no recent origin. 1t is related that
on one occasion Sir Nicholas Bacon was
about to pass Judgment upon a man who had
been guilty of robbery, at that time punish
able by death; but the oulprit pleaded for
mercy on the ground that he was related to
the Judge. Glow is thata" he was asked.
sMy lord" was the reply, "your name is
Bacon, and mine is Hog, and hog and bacon
have always been considered akin" THAT
is true,n answered Sir Nicholas, ''but a.
hog is not bacon until it has hung, un-
til you are hanged you are no relation OF
mine."
Still more to the point is an anecdote told
| Regarding two opposing barristers. Th'
awyer for the defense was 50 severe upol

asked "Does the learned counsel thinl

EDTToRTAL NOTES.

The American Architect says that while
building has diminished in New York and
some other large cities it is still as vigorous
as ever in cities of thirty thousand or less in
habitants.
London has a smaller number of inhabi-
tants to the house than any other of the
great European cities; and the population of
London being immensely greater than that
of any other city, the area which IL covers
is still greater in proportion. Vienna has
the largest number of persons to the house,
having ave times as many as London.
The reshipment of cotton to this country
from Liverpool is one of the effects of the
successful manipulation of cotton for August
delivery by powerful New York. speculators,
which has resulted in advancing the price OF
the raw material to the highest point of the
year. The six hundred bales of cetton sent
over here in the steamer City of New
York was part of the first extensive ship
ment returned to this country in many years.
Several thousand bales are said to be on their
way back from England, and a larger quanti-
| ty is about to follow. The cotton comes
| here because these shipments are profitable
to foreigners at the disproportionatsly high
price on this side.
| The French system Of railroad profit shar-
| ing was explained recently to the Senate
commission on labor and education, by
George May Powell, president of the arbitra-
ton council. A modification Of the French
system was adopted January |, 1887, on the
Toledo, Ann Arbor and Northern Michigan
| railroad and on january /, 1888, the road re-
ported that the experiment had been fnan-
ciaIly successful and that not life of pas
senger or employe had been lost, nor had any
serious accident occurred during the year.
Mr.. Powell said there was stgrsater peace and
prosperity for railroad stockholders and en-
ployee, and safety for passengers and freight
in transit, through wisely managed profit
sharing than without it.n

The trial Of Daniel Everhart ended
in his acquittal on Sunday morning
last at 9:35, the hour when the jury
rendered it's verdict. Judge Wilson
commenced his charge to the jury on
Saturday morning and finished at
1910, when the jury Immediately re-
tired. The instructions given the jury
by the Court were clear aud compre,
hensive. He instructed them as to
the nature of evidence required by
law to constitute an albi. He defined
a reasonable doubt clearly aud def
nitely. Explained, re.capitulated the
evidence and impressed upon the ju.
rors the importance of doing their
duty regardless of fear, sympathy,
feeling or passion, to weigh the evi.
dence carefully and bring iu verdict
in accordance with the facts.
We had intended giving a portion
of the testimony taken since our re.
port Of Wednesday last, but to do so
would only be iuflicting on our read.

-The Philadelphia Press giyes thi!

The Philadelphis Press gives this
gloomy outlook for the future of the
American oil market: The petroleum
market has had no increase 10 price
during the last year commensurate
with the decrease in stocks and the
reason is plain, Russian oil is taking
up the markets from which an increase
In the foreign demand once came.
From Western Asia and Eastern Eu.
rope, in which it has supplanted
American, Russian oil has passed to
India. The imports Of American oil
to India for the first five months of
this year we're one.third as large as the
imports iu the same months of 1887,
while the imports of Russian oil in
three months we're as large as the to-
tai imports in 1887. This lie but one
market, but the like is taking place in
all others apd the advance in price in
our oil this year as compared with last
has decreased the exports of illumi.
mating oil for the first nine months Of
the year about 10 per cent. Hard as
it IS to believe it, we are only at the
beginning of the development of the
oil resources of the world, and iu them
this country is certain to play a les
