Funerals.

The ministers of Richmond are dis
cussing the subject of funerals Recently
sermons have been delivered which show
a vast divergence of opinion. Dr. Dashiel,
Episcopalan, of Richmond. thought
talking about the dead should be dis
couraged, and DIR. Kerr, Presbyterian,
and Mr. Moser, Lutheran, agreed with
him. Dr. Hatcher and Revs. Williams
and Clopton, Baptists, and Rev. Mr..
Cutler, Disciple, We're of opinion that
funeral sermons often accomplish much
good, as many people attend church
only on such occasions. DR.. Hoge.
Presbyterian, thought sermons proper
on certain occasions, but said public
sentiment in cultivated circles is now
opposed to either sermons or addresses
over the dead. Generally preachers
were opposed to Sunday funerals when
it is possible to have them some other
day. All the ministers agreed that the
pomp and extravaganza, now SO com
mon when the dead are laid away,
should be preached about and talked OF
until it is stopped. Whether this all
means that the preachers have given up
hope of making the people of Richmond
live right or not we cannot say. 1t is
well enough to discourage the foolish
ostentation manifested at funerals, and
to protest against the excessive solem-
nifty of the drapery, which is worn for a
stated period, as if the mourning was by
specified contract, to be closed on a GER
taia day; but it is more important to
teach and educate men to liUe aight-to
do the best thing while in the flesh and in
the sphere in which they are placed. If
the spirit of the Master were inculcated
and practiced in this tabernacle be-
low, the mourning and fummery over
the inanimate clay would be dispensed
with from sense of duty, as well as
propriety. 1t is worldliness which leads
to the uses and practices complained Of
by the preachers. Let the heart be
right, and all things else will be in har-
monv with a sentiment of humanity,
propriety and lively religious condi-
tion

Marvellous PROGRESS.

Mr. r. H. Edmunds, editor of the Bal
timore Manufacturers Recofd, III last
weeks issue, furnishes some interesting
and astounding figures indicating the
growth in production and wealth OF the
South. He gives some instructive sta
tistics in which comparisons are drawn
between the great wealth of the South
in 1860 and the Impoverished conditions
of 1870 In 1860 the total assessed value
of property in the United States was
$12 100000, and of this the South
had $4,000, 0C0, or A per cent; III
1870 the total for the country was T14,-
40, 000,0 and Of this the South only
had $780,, o0G, 000. Or 20 per cent.
The article proceeds to show what has
happened III the South since the present
revival of prosperity began. 1t deals
broadly with the growth of cotton man
ufactures, and estimates the savings OF
the South on this account at hundreds
of millions OF dollars yearly, that amount
of money having formerly been diverted
to the cotton mills OF the North. Early
market gardening and fruit are esti-
mated to yield to the South $50, 600 900
annually, and winter visitors from the
North leave there quite 81, G00,G00.
In 1879 the value of the South's agri-
| cultural products was $57l0G0, coo; in
1888 it was $739O00,000, and in 1889 it
will be about $3.50, 100000. In 1879 the
South produced 49, 900, 600 bushels OF
grain. and in 1888 $50, 100000 bushels,
and the yield for 1889 will probably
| show 100000, 900 to CTS coo, 600 bushels.
! In 1879 the value of the live stock in the
South was 1891 100000, and in 1888
$3.50, 10000
In 1889 the South had 220 national
banks, with a capital of Sd, 497, 600, and
in 1889 it has 472 national banks, and
their capital is $76, 454, 600. In the last
four years $4,000 new manufacturing and
mining enterprises have been organized
in the South.
The railroad mileage of the South has
been increased by the addition of nearly
81 900 miles since 1890. Since that yeal
building of new roads and improving
old ones. The assessed value of proper
| ty has increased owes $1,000 000, 900, and
the true valuation over So, 900, 000,G coo. In
1880 the South made 397, 301 tons of pig
iron; in 1888, 1881 Goo, and in 1889 the
out put will probably be about 100000
to 1.700, 900 tons.
In 1880 6,O48, 81 tons of coal were mined
in the South, and in 1888 the out put
was over 100000 tons. Cotton mills
have increased from 161. with IA, 32a
looms and 667,854 spindes, in 1880, tc
/ 800 mills. A, 001 looms, 2,035, 269 spindles,
while many new mills are under con
struction and many old ones being en-
larged In 1880 there were 40 cotton
seed oil mills in the South, having a
capital of $500, 000; now there are
213, with over $40, geo, co invested.

Little Tammany.

The VIRGINIAN has from time to time
called attention to the exceptional natu-
raj advantages of Waynesboro as a bust
ness centre. In speaking of Waynes-
boro, we have had in our mind the en-
tire stretch of territory to the western
base of the Blue Ridge, including the
plotted city of ingalls, and the proposed
Basic City. All three of these projects
will eventually materialize into one, and
city of imposing proportions be the
result. While there is Waynesboro
Land and Improvement Company, an
Ingalls, City Land and Improvement
Company, and d Basic City Land and
Improvement Company, each repre-
scented by a different organization, the
interests of the three schemes, must ne
cessarily be Identical if either is a success.
There should De "a generous rivalry as to
which should do the most to consum-
mate the central object Of an industrial
centre at Waynesboro, embracing the
pats of both ingalls, and Basic cities.
1t is to the wonderful energy and fore
thought of Prof r. N. Pool that this
locality has had SO large a share of pub
lie attention directed to it OF late. He
discerned the great value of the mineral
properties in that locality when Others
were incredulous He has uncovered
the ores and penetrated the mountain
to demonstrate that his theory of the
specular ore was correct. The progress
thus far made sustains the conclusion
he had reached, that as the ore was re-
moved from atmospheric action the
metallic iron would increase. The analy-
sis of the surface ores resulted in IA per-
cent of metallic iron; at feet it was 81
per cent; at 10 feet it was 1885, at 35
feet, 43 so per cent; and analyses of the
ore, made six Or eight years ago by
Booth and Garrett, of Philadelphia, got
ten from an so foot shaft, gave 80 and "a
per cent. 1t is apparent from the result
at 80 feet in present workings that a
similar result may be expected at less
depth than so feet. The quality of this
ore is practically ineXhaustible.
But apart from this class of ore, the
brown hematites are sufficient in guam
tity and quality to justify the assump-
ton that the territory included in the
holdings of the three companies, is des-
tined to be the seat of a city of no mean
proportions And tributary to it is the
whole South river district, range fur
nishing evidences of a diversity and
vastness and richness of minerals unsur-
passed in the country.
With these facts in view there is no
sense and no policy in any hostile rival
ry between the companies named. There
is room enough and material enough to
employ the energies and efforts of all of
them = each cooperating with and
acting as a stimulus and Il help to the
other, and each converging to the one
point of the success of all.
THE VIRGINIAN will assist all in it's
power to such a contamination, and
commend every effort put forth to the
supreme effort of utilizing the natural
advantages known to exist.

Committee Assignments.

On the 21st, speaker Reed completed
his assignment of all the Congress
sionaI committees, and announced them
to the House. We find the following
locations of the Virginia members:
Browne: On Commerce. on Pensions,
and on Expenditure in the Navy De-
partment.
Bowden: On Rivers and Harbors.
Buchanan: On Patents.
Wise: On Military Affairs and Mer-
chant Marine and Fisheries.
Lester: Expenditures in the Hepart-
ment of Justice, and Railways and
Canals.
Lee: District of Columbia.
Edmunds; Revision of the Laws.
Tucker: Elect On of President and
Vice President and Representatives in
Congress.
Venable; Mines and Mining.
Colonel O'Ferrall was assigned to duty
on the Committee on Elections more
than week ago.
There is much dissatisfaction mani
tested in various delegations, because OF
the allotlments This is generally the
case. as all cannot get what they want
and think they ought to have. We
have no doubt the speaker did the best
he could under the circumstances, or at
least what he thought was best.

Contested Elections.

The Washington correspondent of the
Alexandria Gazette, under date of the
10Th, says: The subcommittee of the
House elections committee, to whom the
matter had been referred. agreed this
morning to report the order in which the
contested election cases should be con-
sidered. By that report the order of the
Virginia cases is as follows: Bowen VS..
Buchanan, from the 9th district, will be
the Sth; that of Waddill VS.. Wise, from
the Sd district. the 9th; and that of Lang
ston VS.. Venable, from the 4th. the 10Th.
The report also provides that the cases,
after argument and decision by the COM
mittee, shall be reportedto the House in
the same order 1t is probable the re-
port will be adopted by the full commit
tee as it was unanimous, and was the re-
suit of a mutual agreement by which
each side put it's strongest cases to the
front.
