THE NEW
NATIONAL
GARMENT
CUTTER.
NE NEW

The establishment of a Cutting School
In Lehighton has been instrumental in
more fully arOusing public sentiment upon
one vital question than has ever before
been aroused, namely:
THE PRACTICAL EDUCATION
FOR WOMEN"
Appealing to your most candid iudg-
ment, parents, have you educated your
daughters 10 such q manner that they can
earn good, honest living by their own ef-
forts, II such thing should become neces-
sary, for little do any OF us know what is
in store for US? Il Is a refined accOmp-
lishment for any lady to be able 10 look af-
ter her own clothing and see that 1t is made
correctly and In becoming style, and there
is no education that prepares any lady for
the responsibilities and duties of life equal
to knowing how TO construct her own
clothing properly,
It is only the second consideration con-
ceFning this life's goods. The first Is pre-
pairing our food properly and next Is our
clothing, and this Is of the highest import
ance to all, and might mean very much 70
some of our readers 1t Is an Rttested fact
that the Cutting School is a harbInger of
good wherever established, and the price
of the thorough course Of instructions giY-
en- is merely nominal compared with its
great value which is clearly demonstrated
by the best judgment Of some that have
already been doing good work with 1t, and
we cordially welcome any one to our In
struction Rooms to see and investigate for
themselves.
Space only permits US to give the names
of few who take pleasure in speaking of
its worth.

The Opinion of a Judge.

The following article is from the edito-
rial columns Of the Stanton VmdicdtOr
and aswritten, we judge, by Mr.. HENRY
G. TNsLEY. one of the greatest journal
| lists of this State-a man as remarkable
for originality as he is for correct judg-
ment and rapid and effective work. Mr..
TNsLEY was reporter on this paper in
its infancy and later become news-editor.
Afterwards he was the Richmond agent
of the Associated Press, and went from
this city to Stanton, where he and Mr..
T. c.. MORTON took hold Of the Vindica-
tor and made it the brilliant paper that
it is.
"The Richmond Dispatch last Sunday
celebrated its fortieth anniversary, and
has an interesting sketch Of its early be-
ginning. The writer of this had q per
sonal pleasure in reading it, for he
knew a good deal about that early be-
ginning. Richmond had nearly thirty
thousand inhabitants. bat it was en- up
hill business making the new daily stick.
We shall never forget the nerve
shown by the late James A. Cowardin
in that trying time. Like all new
daily papers the money continued
TO pour out month after month and
not dollar OF profit came in. His
partner got frightened after spending q
good part of his fortune-for both of
the partners bad what in that day were
comfortable little fortunes-and drew
out. The men in the Office began to be
gloomy. Mr.. Cowardin's private means
were well-nigh exhausted, but he never
finched. At last, in some two years we
think, the money poured down the hole
had filled it, and tho hill WAS turned,
and in 1861 the Dispatch was the best
paying newspaper property IN the
South. Its revival after the WARRIOR
it was burned at the evacuation of Rich
mond-required as much nerve as was re-
quired at its birth, but Mr.. Cowsrdin
and his new partner, Henry K. Ellyson,
q man very much like him, were equal
to the occasion and stood the financial
drain until the hill was again turned and
the Dispatch made again the best pay
ing property of its kind in the South.
The Dispatch is now as much part Of
Richmond as its streets and stores are,
and will remain so forever. May its
prosperity never be less

of the London tailors-- absolutely the

sorts OF wealthy people on the seashore
and in the mountains TO city homes,
more comfortable now that tho air is
sometimes nipping and the year is often
weeping over its approaching end. The
swimmers "spread themselves "--as the
nature of their case demands, indeed
and are as much en- cridence as ever be-
fore. More conspicuous they are, in
point OF fact, because as the world of
fashion grows, the greater is the neces-
sity for effort TO tho end that one may

bodies, don't You see -?
Fashion is a jealous mistress Like
the law, she demands undivided ale
glance on the part of her votaries.
Half-hearted devotion does not do her
honor, in her own opinion. One cannot
servo her and at the same time serve
any really valuable purpose. Hence
the blind obedience to her behests we
see and sometimes wonder at.
What are the rewards she promises ?
What are the ends she holds out TO her
followers? Simply that her faithful
servants may be arbiters OF questions
touching what may be "correct" or
"the latest thing" in clothes or enter
tanning or formal correspondence?
Might not what is known rs common
sense be trusted alone 10 take care OF all
these things, and would not freedom
from the thralls of Fashion speed the
worthy work of the world, 80 much OF
which, alas, still remains to be done
But possibly it will be said the letters
of the dazzling dame are pleasing, are
delightful; that those who wear them
would not put them off even if they
could Can any true man or true woman
hold with satisfaction to himself or her
self that chains of any kind-save those
OF love-are otherwise than CALLING?
And can it be maintained that Fashions
court is one of love in any sense? Where
are the disappointments, the heart burn
ings, the numberless bitternesses in
volyed in social rivalrles and inseparable
from the established fickleness Of that
other empress absolute. Dame Fortune :?
Instead of making all things bend to
Fashions sway, would il not be well for
those who like to shine, who can shine,
and who do shine, to say nothing Of
taking the shine Off other folks-would
it not be well, We say, for these good,
brilliant people to tame the naughty
spirit of her they serve. make Fashion
Weld in q measure TO the re-
duirements of what is noble in
the short life We have to live,
of the vast deal to be done for
the amehoration OF mankind, of what
holds rewards that will not pail upon
the appetite and that will endure ?
Fashion, certainly, is good enough
within its sphere; is indispensable, in
Iced, to the fitness of things. But for
Ill this is it worth while to make it the
u be-all and the end-all" of existence ?

A Grnat Sneech.

The general opinion yesterday was
that the speech of Congressman offB-
RAIL at Belyidere Hall Friday night
was exceedingly effective.
1t presented the issues OF the canvass
with clearness and calmness, and argued
them from the Democratic standpoint
with convincing force.
This speech and the address OF the
Chairman Of the State Democratic Com
mittee should be circulated together.
They make good compendium OF cam
paign literature, and there is scarcely O
question that voter will ask not found
answered in them.

on the 4th. for the Planet denounces the
address OF Chairman WsAy t. KNIGHT
as" the most cowsrdly document ii has
ever been our misfortune to read" 1t
declares that 1.-the announcement that
there will be no Republican nominee is
to say the least most monumental blum
der, and it "brands some person or per-
sons with the most fragrant treachery that
has ever been witnessed in this district. "
The conclusion We reach from the

satisfied with the action OF the District

Postage Stamps.
RICHMOND, VA, October IS, 1890

hlCHMOND, VA, OctoDer 10, loJu.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Has it occurred to you lately that the
postage stamps now being sent out by
the Government ara of very poor
quality l use good many OF them
and have to stamp my mail hurriedly and
unless | am very particular in separating
the stamps find they frequently tear in
different direction from the perforated
lines owing to the quality Of the paper.
Why is this thus? RICHMOND.
Yes it is fact, and it is also @ fact
that they are often badly gummed. The
simple explanation is that they are not
carefully made. We hope the post-of1ice
authorities will give the matter their at
tention.

VheOYSter.

III this dumb witness OF so many
feasts and deaf victim Of so many toasts
could break the silence that ature has
imposed upon him he would vehement
" declaim against mans cruelty to him.
Either because the laws are too few or
too many, too weak or too strong in Vir-
ginia and Marylsnd, he and his family
seem to be doomed to total extirpation.
It is not wild alarm and foolish fancy
which suggest that the time may come
when. comparatively speaking, speci-
mems of the genius OStrea may be as
rare as the American bison or prairie
dog.
From all the Virginia and Maryland
shores comes the emphatic declaration
that the natural beds have been most
cruelty and recklessly despoiled, and
that this year the oysters are dead In
numerous localities.
Reports from Baltimore are that many
dredgers and tongmen who enthusiastic
cally went forth few days ago have re-
turned with small cargoes and dolorous
faces.
Various explanations OF this fact have
been offered, but it is agreed that unwise
legislation is in great measure response
bic for the calamity complained of. II
half of what we hear be true all through
the saltwater districts of the two States
should 60 up the cry "Save the oyster. y
The oystermen are not the only per-
sons interested in the maintenance OF
the existence OF this precious product OF
our BAYS and rivers. 1t is conceded that
it was a daring man who ate tho first
oyster, but millions have easily learned
to follow his example. To-day it is a
favorite food.
We publish this morning q readable
interview with Mr.. JAMES McMENAMTN,
OF Hampton, in which he states the con-
dition OF the oyster interest and reviews
the Virginia legislation on the subject.
He quotes the message OF Governor
PIERpoNT, and very sptly says: "The
harvest is soon gathered where all men
reap and no man sows."
Mr.. McMENAMIN, after full discus
sion Of the question, declares "Thepro-
per course for the State Of Virginia to
pursue would be TO sell her waste and
abandoned lands under water-that is.
not natural rock-under O perpetual
franchise. The natural rock he would
have reserved as q common where all the
people OF the State may procure their
seed oysters.
He thinks the present uncertain ten.
ure of plantbeds works hardship upon
the poor man and does permanent in
jury to the public interest. He may be
right We do not know. The subject
is one of such intricacy and gravity that
it can only be legislated upon after
thorough investigation and patient con.
sideratioD.
We know that the oyster produces
no great revenue for the State; we are
told that the beds and rocks are being
impoverished. and there is certainly
great dissatisfaction with existing laws.
The time is near at hand when the
General Assembly will have to meet the
Issue boldly and decidedly, and il ought
to seek to adopt a policy which, while
properly protecting the States interests,
will deal Justly with the oystermen and
cause the industry to thrive.
To this end we are willing to give our
help, but We must hear all sides before
giving support TO particular plan.

The Hills,

To the Editor Of The Dispatch:
Please BE- good enough to tell me the
origin of the names "Church" and
"Shockoe Hills" STRANGER.
Church Hill was so called because it
Is the hill upon which the first church
(St. John's) was built here. Shockoe
Hill took its name from the creek which
winds around its eastern side.
