There has not been one single i'm
provement in Russian railroads in the
last twenty-five years, and none are ex-
pected for fifty years to come.
During the first three months of this
year 5000 more immigrants arrived at
New York than in the same time last
year. There were 28,945 arrivals in
March.
An Ohio man has patented a revolving

Here is new danger. John Clayton,
OF San Francisco, sometime ago com.
menced taking phosphorus for nerve
tonic. He found that the drug braced
up his system at first, but a little later it
began to impair him. Last week he was
admitted to hospital in pitiable con-
dition. His teeth had dropped out and
his lower jaw was crumbling away. His
physicians are giving him stimulants,
but he constantly begs for few pills of
phosphorus. The case is new one in
the medical profession, and the phos-
phorus habit will have to take its place
along with the cocaine habit.
1t may be that fractional paper cur
rency will again be in circulation in the
United States. The House of Represen-
tatiyes has passed bill providing that
the Secretary of the Treasury issue frac-
tional silver certificates of ID, Is and 25
cents, on receipt of $40 and upward in
standard silver dollars. The friends of
the measure urged that this currency
would not supplant, but would supple
ment, the fractional coin now in exist
ence, and that it would furnish to the
people living in the country and in small
towns convenient and necessary cur
rency for the transaction of the large
retail trade which is transacted through
the mails, and which is rapidly increas-
ing.

But few cloudless days so far have ap.
peared this month. The first half was
quite wet, but since, we have had pleasant
weather. and the farmers are busy plow-
ing. The 22d was beautiful day indeed,
OF all the days in the year, the most sig
nificantss to the American citizen, for on
that cay the greatest of her sons first saw
light. We delight to think upon his
memory, and we are ever prone to compare
the statesmen. soldiers and patriots of our
day, with him who was all these combined
par excellence. And here we may remark,
who so nearly measures upto this standard
of craftsmanship as the first citizen OF
Maine? We read his letter, declining the
nomination for President, with feelings OF
regret. Still there are others who can COM
mand a successful issue, and we will await
the verdict of the 10Th of June convention.
On the evening of the odd robins were
first seen here. Twenty-three wild geese
passed northward on the 23d. and the
signs are that we may have an early
spring. The situation of our climate, if
indeed we can be said to have climate of
our own, is SO largely affected by out
side influences, when the northern ice
begins to follow the streams OF the ocean,
and the wind is from the east, we may
expect cool weather. Sometimes these
ice flows are disslpated before they reach
our shores, and when this is the case, we
have warm weather right along. Some
have predicted that we are to have wet
spring. Thus far the water level does not
seem to be as high as usual at this season.
Wells that usually flow from December
till June, have run out but little as yet.
The grain fields present quite velyety
appearance, and the prospect for wheat is
encouraging. There was quite a heavy
rain last night, and the plows viii have to
stand in the furrow for several days. No
oats have been sOwn yet.
AS Miss Ella Beard, who has her home
with Mrs. Slower, near Thinking Spring
church, was getting on her horse several
days ago, the horse whirled, and she was
thrown to the ground. The extent of her
injuries are not known, as DR.. D9ld, who
was summoned, could not make critical
examination, Miss B. not permitting
him to do so, fearing, as she says, that he
would hurt her. 1t is supposed that her
lame limb is considerably injured. and it
may be broken. We heard yesterday that
she was suffering greatly. sss1M
The Ladies And Society, of Thinking
Spring church, held a supper Friday eve
ming, to raise money to finish paying for
the improvements done to the church and
reported some weeks ago. These ladies
undertook the improvement, and they will
see that it is paid for. as they are pro-
verbal for pushing to completion what
ever they undertake.

MARCH 5TH.-Mr Mantell in 'Mon
bars Monday night, will be an enter
tainment that no lover of high dramatic
talent and rendition should miss. Mr.
Mantel is one of the first and most popular
artists of the day, and in 'Monbars" is
always at his best. The Cincinnati Times
Star says of him and the play:
Another large audience filed the Grand
at the second performance of sMonbars"
last night. Mr. Mantell must feel greatly
pleased at the reception he is meeting in
Cincinnati, boisterous applause following
all the striking situations and repeated
recalls after every act. ''Monbars" is one
of the finest plays witnessed here for a
long while, and will prove financial bo-
nanza to those interested in it, The great
force and power of the play is not properly
realized until the fourth act is reached. the
preceding three serving to prepare the
audience gradually for the wonderful pas
sion and pathos which is then developed.
The skill with which Mr.. Mantell portrays
the mingled feelings of love, hatred and
despair with which his whole being is filled,
the furious rage with which he vows ven
geance on his betrayer, and the confession
of his weakness and love for his wife
which Immediately follows, the mad
frenzy which seizes him on discovering
the real william, are all masterpieces OF fine
acting.

LEAVING Us.-MesSrs. A. j. Livick
and VIM. Baylor, left last Monday NOR.
ming for Roanoke City, Va. where they
will be engaged for some months in build
ing houses for Maj. B. T. Bagby and S.
NJ. Wilkes, Esq, of our city. They have
seven houses to build for these two gentle
men. There is occasion for inquiry as to
matter Of this kind, in which the growth
and we'll being of our town are at stake.
Why IS it that Stanton capital, and
Stanton mechanics, are employed to build
up a distant town? Capital seeks profta-
BILE investment, and mechanics 60 where
they can get employment, at remuneratlve
rates: and if these are the reasons operat-
ing here. as they doubtless are, it behooves
our people to be looking after these mat
ued prosperity. We shall have no demand
for houses. unless we bring in new popu-
lation to occupy them; and we shall not
be able to keep our mechanics at home,
unless we can give them employment.
This is the sort of thing which concerns
the entire community. Every branch OF
industry, and every department of trade is
affected injuriously by it. We wish to
call the attention of our people to these
facts, that they may be aroused to the i'm
portance of taking immediate steps to-
wards building up our town, by encourag-
ing and establishing all kinds of mechanl-
cal industries. and by creating demand
for skilled mechanics III our town; who,
by their labor, create values, give activity
and permanence in all the avenues OF
trade, and give us population OF shbstan'
tial and valuable citizens.
We trust our people may soon wake up
to the Importance of getting out of the
old ruts of banks. insurance offices, and
the like, and start upon new departure,
in industrial enterprises by which we may
keep pace with the rapid march of events
now going on around us.
Roanoke is being built up by the devel-
opment of mechanical industries. This is
lust what we need, just what we should
and can have, by giving proper direction
to the employment of our means and ener-
gies. We have idle capital in our banks
and idle and skilled mechanics on our
streets, both sufficient to establish small
plants for manufacturing purposes, and
which will prove vastly more profitable to
those Immediately investing in them, and
to the general interests of the town, than
all the methods now employed.
We ask our people to think seriously of
these matters. and to say whether they
will, by inaction and delay, allow the
golden opportunities to pass away from US,
while our neighbors are reaping the rich
harvests, which are the rewards of pluck,
push and perseverance.
