Dense fogs are u perpetual nightmare to
London railway managers. The erratic
character of the fogs is what makes the
chief trouble. No one knows whittier the
fog comes or whence it goes, and it gives
no notice of its appearance or departure.
The sun may be shining at Hyde Park and
Cannon street may be wrapped in palpa-
BILE gloom. Ca the first appearance of the
fog men are stationed near every railway
signal, to place explosive waters on the
line, and 81 convey to the ears of the
drivers the warning which they cannot
see with their eyes. A foggy winter en-
tails heavy expenditure on the com
psnies. Yet despite of these tremendous
fogs and the continual, never cea sing
showers of coal dust, London continues
to increase largely in population, and even
prophecy is unable to fix the limits where
its numbers and wealth will stop,

From a Florence Letter
A short time ago the Queen of Italy, in the
course of a railway journey. stopped at a GER
tain station and was met by the Mayor and
municipal big wigs in all the glory of their
robes Of honor. An elegant luncheon had
been provided, but the royal appetite was un-
certain, and the Queen requested the obse
quious depufation to get her glass of wine
which was all that she required. This wa,
promptly brought, but while drinking it a
drop fell from the glass onto her travelling
dress. She at once sought in her pocket fol
her handkerchief TO remove the stain, but the
worthy MAJ or, whose daily vocation behind
the counter had possibly accustomed HIM Il

pockets, misunderstood the motion of the

~ 1t is reported and generally
believed in Virginia, by those who
have right to know something of
the truth in the matter, that Malone
has had at least quarter of a million
dollars placed in his hands for cam.
paign purposes in that State. This
fact is published in Northern papers.
His election is based upon his ability,
with $2oo.ooo. TO buy $4,000 votes.
He has been credited with the con-
troll of$25o.ooo. Is it the purpose
of the Malone party to buy negroe
votes? There is no necessity for
this, for, they are all one way. Then,
of necessity, it is the white vote of
Virginia he is after. What an insult
to the citizens of that good old State!
Will they quietly submit to it or,
will they stay at home, become indif-
erent and thus give credence to the
report that they are for sale2
