RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 25.-An i'm
portant railroad bill was reported in
the House to-day from the Commit
tee on Roads. It Incorporates the
Virginia and Missouri Railroad
under concurrent laws of Virginia
and Tennessee. The road is pro-
posed to run from Norfolk to New
Mexico, where it will strike juno
ton of the Athison and Topeka
Road.
Mr.. Breen, of Pennsylvania, is the
president. The capital stock for the
Virginia road is eight million dollars.
President Breen says that the money
for this project has been furnished
chiefly by English capitalists, and
that ten million dollars of bonds of
the company have already been dis
posed of in England. The railroad
will start from Grayson county. in
this state, proceeding through Wes-
tern North Carolina, Tennessee,
Arkansas to Indian Territory, thence
to New Mexico. Surveyors are al
ready at work in Tennessee, and the
friends of the measure say that they
will begin work in this state. The
line is to be sixteen hundred and
fifty miles long.

A New Species of Rabbits.

A Pittsburg dispatch says: "Sports-
men interested in the visit here of
DR.. Warren, of West Chester, Pa,
the State ornithologist, have hunted
up one of the objects of his search.
In addition to desiring data for the
States famous bird book, DR.. War
rem wanted the origin of new breed
Of rabbit lately developed here. He
found that a rabbit larger than the
old breed, and having a gray coat in
summer and a white one in winter
was thriving hereabouts. This breed !,
the sportsmen think from news learn
ed, came from the importation four
years ago Of a number of rabbits
from Bethel They were big fellows,
much larger than the Pennsylvania
rabbit, and a peculiarly about them
was that they would bite and were
far from being timid. They were
turned loose in Westmoreland coun-
ty, scattered everywhere, and are
now rapidly going eastward"

SATURDAY. MARCH 8. 1890.
From Washtub TO Wealth.

There is considerable stir among Q
number of good ladies, who are now
looking about for a washerwoman
It came about in this way: Mrs
Kelly, a woman about SIS years old
living in the rear of George W.
Stout's residence, on North Meri'
dian Street, has been earning her
livelihood by washing. She is a
Woodworking woman, a member OF
the First Baptist Church.
She says that about ten years ago,
upon the death of her father, she in
herited a piece of property in st.
Louis, upon which there was a mort
gage of $4,000. For this property
she was offered $4,000, which she
refused to take, her friends advising
her that it was worth more. She
got no income from it, but kept on
washing, having found a renter, to
whom she leased the house and lot
for $50 month and arranged that
all in excess of taxes and repairs
was to be applied upon the mort
gage.
1t was temptation for her to
take $4,000, but she resisted, con-
tinued at work, and the other day
she received notice that the last pay
ment had been made, and the proper
ty, which is in the heart of the city
was free of debt and all her own
being valued at nearly $4,000.
Later came news of the death of a
brother in California, who left her q
fortune of 100000.
1t is said she arranged with St.
Louis man, for fee of $1,000 to go
to California and make full settle
ment; that he returned with S40,O 900
in approved securities, chiefly United
States bonds, but that $4,000 more
is coming to her, which will require
her personal presence to make proper
settlement. The ladies will lose a
good washerwoman, but Mrs Kelly
gains $780, 00.-Indtanapol,s Jour

many philosophic minds that the dual form

superiority. and that final legislation BY .
single chamber would be more prompt and
more responsive to the popular will. In
England it seems to be Q ~foregone con-
clusion that the House OF Lords. upou
which our senate was modelled, will ere
long be dispensed with The present con-
dition of affairs in Congress is well calcu
lated to attract renewed attention TO this
ofs-mooted question.
All the important legislation OF the ses-

issues Of pr~ineipae-hangs suspended BE-
tween the two houses. and the division of
responsibility between them seems to have
