VIRGINIA'S DEBT.

The proposed scheme for settling
the State debt, as telegraphed from
New York, is confirmed by a pam.
phlet just published, which fully
sets forth the details. The pam.
phlet contains among other things
a letter from eI.President Cleve
land, Hon. Thomas Bayard, W. r.
Phelps, and other gentlemen who
are requested to act as a beard OF
arbitration, and pass upon any
plans of settlement which the com.
nittee may submit to them. These
gentlemen IN their reply say thev
will accept the place as members OF
the board. One important feature
of the scheme is that 1t proposed
that the basis OF the agreement
will require that the bonds shall be
placed in the hands of the commit.
tee consisting OF Frederick p. o.
colt and others, and that the ma
jority of the whole bonded debt
when so deposited may determine
plan of settlement. When this
Is done the conditions of the pool
bind all who enter into 1t to accept
its terms.
The debt commission appointed
at the last session Of the legislature
to receive propositions from the
bondholders has never yet had a
meeting. They will probably hold
one in "A month or 80. Uuder the
provisions OF the act creating this
con- mission little or no latitude IS
given them to act. They are bound

A Lightning Story.

Mr.. Emory Kelly, OF Jackson
river, while shearlng sheep last
week, was caught IN severe storm
Having Just taken of fleece, lie
started to seek shelter, holding the
shears IN one hand and the fleece
in the other. He had only FRO.
ceeded a few steps when terrific
bolt of lightning descended i'm
medlately upon his head, and
thence down bis arm TO the shears.
He, having great presence of mind,
thought he would try and save the
shears uninjured by casting them
from him, but he says tho light.
ming was a little to qnick, and
reached the shears Just as he was
in the act of throwing them away,
and the lightning, not having time
to proceed further on its original
course, accompanied the shears
altogether, vi h them struck a very
large tree, entirely dcmclishlng il.
Mr.. Kelly is in good health and

A HOTEL DECISION.

The majority of the Supreme
Court of PENNSYLVANIA decided a
very curious case last week which
cannot fail to interest all hotel and
restaurant keepers, az well as the
travelling pTblc at large. After
"a full argument OF the case
on both sides before the bench the
court held that at the table of a
hotel or restaurant "A guest is en-.
titled To all the food that is set be
fore him at the table. AMI that he
is privileged to curry away for
future consumption, whatever he
may not be able or disposed to eat
at the time
This decision of the highest
court grew ont of a curious case
where traveller, not having a
good appetite at breakfast, gather.
ed up nearly all the porter house
steak and other substantials be
fore him which he did not consume
aud wrapping them IN a newspa
per, proceeded on his way, deter
mined to digest them when his
appetite grew better. The hotel
man Indignantly protested against
such liberty az well as bll man.
ners, {; nd hence the trouble.
While the court has probably
decided the law and Justice side of
the case properly, it must be con.
fessed that the bad manners Of
the affair were ineXcuSable and can
find no sanction IN any code OF
propriety or gentlemanIy conduct.
When a traveller takes his meal
at hotel or restaurant, with OF
without a good appetite, it is per
fectly legitimate and in accord
with strictly good manners, for
him to ask the waiter to wrap him
IA small snack for his journey, and
he may "tip" for it or not as he
pleaSes-generally Tip" But
for a hotel guest to gOOOle.up The
whole of his leavingS at meal,
bundle them INTO a napkin or news
paper and sOuse them into his
satchel tor future consumption, is
superIativeIy on the gluttOn and
hOggish order OF bad manners.
This decision Of Pennsylyauid's
highest court will no doubt make
Pennsylvania hotel and restaurant
men yer, careful hereafter as to
the amount Of provisions and size
of steaks which they place before
their guests at any one meal. Self
protection will necessarily req1lre
this precautlOU, even If 1t migut be
some infringement upon ordinary
hospitality and pOllteneSS due on
the part OF the generous host. But
they will no dOIbt be able, as a
general rule, to size their custom
ers and measure their StOmachs.
