A BARREN LITERARY AGE.

Nothing more reveals more clearly the
literary barrenness of the present day than
the great distinction to which only second
rate noyelists are constantly attaining in
rapid succession TO each other. One springs
almost at bound into celebrity,
is the talk and wonder OF the
hour, then swiftly declines in popu
iarity. and sinks back into an obscurity
which is almost as deep as that from which
he originally emerged. But he has hardly
begun 10 fade in the public eye before
another, most probably Of an entirely diff
ferent character, rises TO view, runs an
equally brilliant course, only to meet with
the same general fate.
Ii is truly the age Of writers who have no
real element Of permanent greatness III
their works, and it is only certain sort OF
originality which they possess, which soon
loses its flavor, that keeps them even for a
short time In vogue. Once IL was Tolstoi,
then Haggard, then the young Russian girl
with the unpronounceable name. Now IL
is Ibsen, but We discover already signs that
his glory has begun TO wane. Even now
the first rays OF new literary star are
creeping up to the zenith. The prediction
may be ventured that 1t will not be long be-
fore the novelist, Kipling, will he the object
of the eulogies of the literary public for the
want of some novelist Of the first order to
lavish their praise upon.
The age of the giants. rhackeray, Dick.
ems and Eliot, has been followed by the age
OF pigmles. There being no genuine literary
Gods to worship, behold, the literary por-
tion OF mankind, or at least Of the English
speaking world, have taken to worshiping
mere literary stocks and stones, and that,
TOO. without even deceiving themselves,

In Massachusetts,. one Of the states in
which the female population outnumbeis
the male, there was an appeal made TO q e
LEGISLATURE. or General Court, as it is called,
about sixteen years ago, TO supply some
means by which deserving women might
earn "A livelihood. There were sj1,j29 f.
males IN the population OF the state at that
time. 63IIG in excess Of the number OF
males: Is. 906 were then engaged in lucra-
tive employment
Nothing was done by legislation 10 en-
large woman's industrial opportunities. but
an incentive was given 20 Individual ambi-
ton by the agitation Of the question during
the ensuing years which resulted in more
than doubling the number Of women en-
gaced in regular industrial employment
when theueXt censu, was taken. In $50.
Horace G.. WaGlin, Chief Of the Bureau Of
Statistics OF Labor OF Massachusetts, has
cOllated mass Of interesting statistical in
formation about this matter and has pub
lished 10 in pamphlet entitled women in
Industry
From this 10 appears that in lS,j the fe-
male population had increased 10 l.OH,25l

RICHMOND AND THE VALLEY
Suggestions ana Concentrations from
HarTisOnburg.

Suggestions and Concentrations from
Harrisonburg.
The Rockingham Register says. "ThC
Richmond Chamber Of Commerce held &
conference with railroad officials last week
for the purpose Of securing better transpor
tatiOn facilities. This is a cOmmendable
step on the part Of the business men Of
Richmond, which is an evidence of theil
aggressive determination 10 develop the
business interests Of the capital city. The
connections with the Valley at stanton
are VIGOROUSLY bad, and remedy for the
existing condition Of things occupied the
attention VI the conference.
IL is proposed to change the time Of the
early freight up the Valley, which arrives
al Ilarrisonburg at . O'clock, so that il may
reach StauntOn i'm time TO connect with the
0:36 Chesapeake and Ohio train for Rich
mOnd. This would make its time over three
hours earlier than at present. such an ar
rangement would be a great convenience
for the local passengers from the Valley,
but II appears that II would be great dis
advantage 70 the merchants on the Balti.
more and Ohio all along the line this side OF
Harpers Ferry i'm the delivery Of freight
from Baltimore. We are reliably informed
that in order 20 make the Staun-
ton connection referred 10, the south.
bound freight would be compelled
to leave Ilarper's Ferry before the
arrival of the train over the main line
which brings Valley freight out Of Balti-
tim0re. That being the ease, goods would
remain at Harper's Ferry until the way
freight Ga much slower train could bring
them up the yalley. Thus goods shipped
from Baltimore. which now reach Harrison
burg at . o'clock in the morning, would be
DELAYED on the road until late in the even
ing, and could not he delivered before next
morning. The inconvenience Of such an
arrangement TO the business community is
readily seen, and at such price the Rich
mond connection would be dearly obtained.
1t seems that the Richmond people are
taking hold at the wrong place. In order to
become business centre, they should have
trains leave their ciil early and arrive late.
lftrains would leave Richmond coming this
way as early as they leave Baltimore and
Philadelphia, there would be no trouble
with the Baltimore and Ohio cOnneciiOnsat
Staunton. and if trains for Richmond did
not pass StauniOn several hours before the
middle OF the day, there would be no diff
Guilty about Valley people getting to Rich
mord without stopping ali night Tor con-
nection en- route.
Besides this. to make the morning train
three hours earlier would practically destroy
its value as court day train both for Rock
ingham and Shenandoah, which is certainly
worth considering.
As the Register has said before. the trou-
ble does not lie with the Baltimore and
Ohio this time. 1t has an admirable sche-
dule in both directions, and the Richmond
people must look 10 the roads nearer home
for improved connections

Editor Of The Times The serious nature
! Of the impending contest for the control Of
the House Of Representatives, and the close

the man who will bring out the fall vote OF
the party. To DO this il is necessary 10 OBJ
tain an expression OF preference from as
many individual members OF the party a.
possible, aud the best way to ascertain this
preference is by giving the individual voter
the opportunity Of indicating his wish by a
