SrR:--In response to your letter of Ju-
ly Is, 1888, we have the honor to fur
nish you with the following exhibit of

There are about 1000, 900 acres of sur
veyed land in this district, and ten or
fifteen times as much unsurveyed, much
of the latter, however, being mountain
Gus and worthless for agricultural pur-
poses. The lack of public surveys in
this district is one of the great draw
backs to this section of tho Territory,
and is great hardship to settlers. The
surveys already made are very defect
i've, many townships being only survey
cd in part. The unsurveyed part of
such townships, and many townships
which have never been surveyed at all,
are covered with hundreds of settlers
who have been waiting year after year
for the land to be surveyed, 80 that their
titles might be perfected. Many have
made deposits for special surveys, and
in some cases such deposits have been
made rs long as four years ago, and still
no surveys have been begun. 1t seems
to me that this is q useless hardship up
on settlers, and that the public surveys
should keep pace with the tide of immi-
grafton which is constantly pushing fur
tner back into the Wilderness; but the
fact is that public surveys ceased in this
district years ago. Another great draw
back to the development of this end of
our Territory is our vast and compare.
lively useless Indian reservations. We
believe that allotment of the reserya-
ton lands TO the Indians in severalty
and opening the remainder of such
lands for settlement by white men is the
greatest step yet taken for the civiliza-
ton of the Indian. We do not believe
that the Indian will ever become thor
oughly imbued with the spirit of our
civilization until he is made citizen
and treated as such by the Government
instead of being treated like willful
child, to be punished one moment and
given everything he desires the next.
lie is our opinion that the Indians are
fully able to take care of themselves,
and would be- more so if allowed to
come in contact more with the whites
and compelled to work more and loaf
less.
We are glad to state. in conclusion,
that this part of the Territory is receiv-
ing more immigration than for some
years, and every branch of industry
seems to be thriving.
We are, with great respect,
Very truly. yours,

DR.. HARRIS AT THE COLLEGE.
Interesting and Eloquent Lecture on
Greek Literature.

II had been announced for some two
weeks that Dr. II. II. Harris would lecture
on "Greek Literature" II was no matter
Of surprise then that by : last evening the
chapel Of the college was well filled with
Richmond'- most cultured people.
The lecturer stated in few very happy
Introductory remarks that the lecture was
10 be- purely didactic. as il was designed fcf
the senior class. and invited his audience to
become. for the time. members Of that class.
lie began with an explanation OF certain
terms necessarily used in study Of Literal
turc. Genius j. power 10 conceive and ex-
press ideas: taste j. the art Of genius and
the ruling principle Of art; literature, the
expression in language Of artistic genius
guided by good taste.
He then proceeded 20 explain simply the
Greek religions and to show how literature
grew out Of these. and was determined IN
its form by them.
Literature is divided into poetry and
prose. which are different in form and IN
idea. Each Of these comprises three classes
each class in the one finding an almost
exact counterpart in class Of the other
The two follow the same order Of develop
mpnt- the objccfirc idea giving epic poetry
and history; the sUbjecfirc idea giving lyric
poetry and philosophy: the obiec,o-sulr
iFflINt lQtt Ga tNilNlUdilNN Nl tiiF NtIfl lN'I
giving drama and oratOry.
Then followed most beautiful dcscri'-
tive reference 10 The ''cradle of Greek litera.
turc in the valley Of Danlis or Pieris.r an
explanatory reference TO the development in
the colonies and it, concentration at other,
.'ihe intellectual centre Of llelias."
The lecturer here showed in a telling
manner how the Greek literature was car.
ried by Alexander the Great. 10 the ''changc.
less East" and there preserved until
brought by the Moors through spain. Franco
and Germany into England. He expressed
the conviction that the dawn Of modern
advancement and the revival Of Greek
loarning are related as effect and cause
'1he Dark Ages were the ages when men
did not know Greek"
The character of the Greek literature was
shown in lis natural growth and its value
was shown 10 consist in lis varied perlec-
ton and exquisite taste.
All who heard the lecture must have been
thoroughly convinced that the world owes
the Greek literature debt which. so far
from ever being able 10 pay it. will never b.
able TO comprehend. III. as the lecturer
proposed. his lecture was purely didactic."
il would be good 10 have more such didac-
tics. lie WAS cl0quent-trulv sO-clear.
and precise. HIS lecture WAS 50 arranged
A. to be easily c0mprehended and remem-
bereC n Altogether it was rare treat to the
Richmond people. and the time occupied
was gone all too soon.
This is the first Of series Of public lee
lures 10 be given al the college by the pro-
fessOrs. DR.. Harris will lecture on No,em-
Der %. on .Ihe Had ON December 10,
Professor Harrison will deliver a lecture on

This new feature mt the college, and one
for which the public will be truly thankful

BINN'S ADMIR- VS.. THE YORK

A Decision In Favor of the Company De

Decision IN fdAof OF tue toihIihp ~
PENDANT.
The case Of j. :. Binn's administrator
against the Richmond and Dinyille Rail
road Company. WAS again before judge
Wexford. Of the Circuit Court yesterday.
The suit was instituted some time ago. in
order IN recover damages for the death oi
the late John :. Binn. who was accidentally
killed last April on the York River road.
Last Friday dispositions were submitted 20
the Jury. Ncs-r~. staples and Muniprd.
representing the defendant. filed demurrer
at once 10 the plaintiffs testimony. The
Jury found the following verdict under that
demurrer: III upon the demurrer To the
evidence the law be- found to be- for the de-
PENDANT. we find fCr the defendant; If the
law be for the plaintiff we mud for the plain
titf. and assess his damages at S>,VV9 with
interest from the 18th Of April, 1852, TIL
paid"
terdav 10 decide whether the law was in
favor of the defendant or the plaintlii.
The ease was very deliberately argued
Yesterday morning. after which Judge
Wexford delivered his opinion on the
demurrer. i'm which he fully sus-
tanned the position taken BY the
counsel for the defendant. He Was
of the opinion that the evidence showed
that every necessary prccaution bad been
taken by the railroad company 10 avoid the
accident, and that the washOut had been
caused by the unusual downfall Of the W.T.
ter. and that such being the facts there
could. under the law, be- no recovery against
The company. Accordingly the Court
ordered that DEGREES be entered IN favor 81
the railroad company.
