the old tobacco warehouse may be compared
in skill with the noted removal of the obelisk
of Luxor from Egypt to Paris and similar
feats, save that the obelisk had to be moved
entire, while the Libby was taken to pieces.
The old building as it stood in Richmond
was first photographed and sketchcd as a
whole, and N parts large and small, till it
was SO pictured to eye ami mind that every
detail could be reproduced. Them as it was
taken down, every one Of its 600,000 pieces OF

There are old swords, guns, flags, shells,
pictures and fragments of a hundred kinds
collected from the battle fields. There are
diaries from the pockets Of fallen soldiers,
containing the last lines they wrote; photo

WAS killed, scores Of curious ornaments whit
tied out in camp, and hundreds of original
letters written on the battle field or imrnedi-

has been informed by his physicians tint he
has that incurable ailnlent known rs Brights
disease of the kidneys. If this be true there is
no probability of his ever sitting Oh the
English throne. There nre yet no signs of
any breaking down in his mother, the queen,
and there is no rnalAdy more sure to bring
death than Bright's disease
The English people would regard the death
of Albert Edward rs a great misfortune to
them This may seem singular, since his rep
utation in America is that of d prof1icate
One hears Of him at the theatres paying espc.
cial attention to the most beautiful actresses
In India, some years ago, he was said to have
given free vent to his immoral tastes and
shocked the civilized world Recently he
witnessed a sparring match in which the
bruiscr John L. Sullivan took part. Why is
IT. then, that the English people take so great
IN interest in the life Of this man, who Is
neither great nor good 49,
In the first place the prince had largely
finished sowing his wild oats ten years ago
OF late those scandals with which his name
was formerly connected seem to have ceased.
His English taste for manly sports led him to
view a sparrins match, perhaps an undigni-
fed act for one of his position, but it would
easily be forgiven by n nation whose young
men all read sporting papers; and whose
school boys are trained to box and settle their
disputes in ring. Indeed, one Of the Gle
ments of popularity Of Albert Edward is that
he is the patron in England of those hardy
sports which have given such strength and
courage to EnGlishmen, and enabled them al
ways to do more with fewer troops than any
other nation.
The prince, though not great man, is far
seeing. One occupying his position, belong
ing To n family set apart from all others ex-
ceI,t of royal blood, would be expected to
hold to the belief that he was secure in his
position. The prince does not take this view
of royalty i'll England. He has watched the
democratic tendency OF the age and adapted
himself to it. lie has the wisdom to follow
public opinion rather than stand against it.
The Prince of Wales is the most democratic
man of those enjoying a similar position in
Europe. He makes it point to become
identified with all classes He can always be
counted upon to take part in meetings and
other matters tending to benefit the public
He constantly is called upon to preside at
these meetings, and his speeches are remark
able for being adapted to the audience and to
the purpose. To hospitals, churches public
buildings Of all kinds he constantly lends the
interest attaching to his presence, and is kept
busy either in laying their corner stones or
at their dedication. In this way he becomes
identified with the people whose king, it was
supposed, he would one day be- and it Is per-
haps this want of holding aloof from them,
common with his predecessors, which has led
him to that democratic den,eanor he shows
whenever court etiquette will permit He
goes about quite as other neonla 90 and of

The Indian Sign Language,

Although there are 70 different languages
and about 500 dialects spoken by tho Ameri-
can Indians, the sign language is equally
understood by all the tribes. Chief Nutchez,
of tho Piute tribe, is an adept in the sign
language. In Washington city some years
ago he held consultation by signs with tho
best experts, III which he gave all account of
the troubles existing at that time with somo
bunds of renegade Indians up near the Ore
gon lino, describing u trip he made to the
camp of the hostilos. Natchez enjoys the al
most solitary honor of having had his talk
published in the government reports on these
matters, with a full explanation of every sign
he used in conveying the intelligence sought
from him. He was highly spoken Of by gov
ernruent experts for his great knowledge OF
and readiness in the Indian sign language.

THE EVENING SESSION.
Some Interesting Discussions and
Reports Listened To.

The ladies ordinary Of the West hotel
was we'll filled with the members Of the
convention when the evenings session
was called to order. The topic of the
discussion was electricity as a motor
power. The session was an open one
and number Of ladies were in attend
ance.
Thomas c. Barr. of Philadelphia,
formed a committee appointed at the
session last year 20 formulate report
on the conditions necessary 10 the imam
cial success of electricity as motor
power. His report was listened to as
the first exercise of the evening. He
opened by saying:
1.-The subject of Electricity as a
Motive Power has been the all absorb
ing TOPIC before our meetings for the
past two years, and only now are we
able to give any satisfactory answer.
Up to the date Of our last meeting. IN
Washington. Oct. II. 1858. we had made
very little progress in the application of
electricity to the propulsion Of cars. al
though a solution of the problem was
deemed not far distant. At that time
the number Of roads equipped and
operated by electricity could be counted
upon the fingers OF your two hands.
while to-day they number in the humid
reds. a surprising result. all within the
short space of twelve months.
The report stated that If It was desir
Gus of changing from horse power
electricity would fill the bill to perfec-
ton. 1t not only increases traffic over
the road. but reduces expenses. There
are three methods of Operation-by the
overhead wire. the conduit and the
fafr WI
date all conditions. The overhead wires
are all that can be desired, and for SUI
burban roads and small towns. and
even in cities. at present can not be
e0Ualed. The conduit has found very
little favor, while the storage battery is
gradually but surely pushing It's
way to the front. The overhead
method was reported as the
cheapest and was being universally
adopted. In changing from one system
to another. in the case of using the
cable foT z ten-mile line. it was eSti-
mated 1ae cost would be SS4O,000: for
electrical overhead wire construction
$3.50. 600. for storage battery S175.000.
The report showed that serious matter
was Opt ration during the winter. On
an electrical road during August the
gross earnings we're S5.S2l-95, operating
expenses S1.S56.69. showing net earn
ings OF 81. 965.2S. The total mileage for
the month was Ig.1Sl miles. The adOp-
ton of the overhead system by the
Boston roads was given as the most
notable change.
John s. Wise,an agentfor the Sprague
company made 4 statement explaining
why the electrical road put in at Rich
mOnd had proven a failure He stated
that it was poorly built and poorly
| cared for.

DOWN THEY COME.
The Police Commission Reduces
Salaries All Along the Line.

The police commission, or rather a
majority of the police commission. met
in the city hall yesterday and resolved
to reduce the pay of all tile policemen
50 per month. 1t was a short session
and it took less than five minutes to
transact all the business before the
board. Commissioner Guile settled
down to business as soon as Mayor
Babb had called the commission to
order. and moved that the action OF the
board IN reducing the salaries of patrol
men 50 per month be recOnsidered.
After this motion was carried unani-
mOusly, he followed it with another re-
ducing the salaries of all of the MEM
bers OF the force. except the stenOgrapher
surgeon. matrOn and the two janitOTS at
the central station, s. per month. There
was no debate on the motion, and the
reduction was ordered by a unanimous
vote. This action will reduce the pay
roll about $4,000 per annum. and will
enable the commission to pull through
the year without reducing the force.
