 From the Philadelphia Timesl
 About one hours ride from Allegheny on the Fort Wayne road, near Beaver, the home of the more or less illustrious Quay, and known by the very suggestive name of Economy, is a quaint village founded in 1895 by company of several hundred Germans, half of whom landed at Phils- delphia. They were brought over at the instigation of one Herr Rapp, who had preceded his religious followers to look up suitable settlement. Five hundred of the beautiful and productive acres upon which these Economies then settled, upon which the remaining number, only about forty souls now, still abide, were at that time purchased from the grandfather of James G. Blaine.
 The town has one of the loveliest situa- tions imaginable. It begins on the very edge of bluff overlooking the Ohio riv: CT. The streets are at right angles with the rivers course, and prettily bordered with shade trees, back of which sit the pIlLu AOu5Co, IEOul door, and so spaced that each household has it's own kitchen garden. Another De- culiarity of these houses is singular dec. oration of grapevines, which are trained to espaliers so as to cover the space be- tween the tops of the lower windows and the bottoms of the upper windows. The vines grow in vandykes, and you have nc idea how oddly pretty is such an arrange | ment. This decoration is general.

The following contrast in rhyme, taken
from late copy Of Printers Ink, seems
to be appropriate to close this article:
TWO STORES.
A handsome place, and in busy street;
A store filled up with well-selected stock;
A dozen clerks all looking trim and neat,
And only one store like it on the block.
A rush of people, but all passing by;
A well-dressed window, fixed in latest
style;
Gold-painted signs, made to attract the
But silence deep is reigning all the while
Why is it that the sound of busy trade
Is heard not in store so great in size?
Because, my friend, great mistake was
mad;
The merchant thought he need not ad-
vertise.
A store just opposite, not half so fine.
Not near so big as others, too, quite near
it,
No dearth of clerks, but each one has no
time
To fool around; he quick discharge would
fearit,
A rush of customers, the store well filled;
Men flying here and there with busy
feet;
Outside, a placard that attracts the eye
By plainly stating what inside you'll
meet.
Why is it that here rush you see,
That each clerk to Guido his neighbor
tries?
Because. my friend, the fact you'll plainly
see,
This merchant knows enough to adver-
tiSe.
Moral:
If you would sell your goods, and do it
quick,
Don't think fine stores and many clerks
will do it,
But advertise, that always does the trick;
The man who don't will have the chance
to rue it.

The Weather.

In view of the almost universal mis-
understanding in this State OF the meaning
of the words "fair" and clear" as used
by the Weather Bureau we think it would
be well for all the Virginia papers to pub
lish paragraph containing the correction
made in the following article from the
Harrisonburg Register:
"The Interpretation Of the word fair by tho
cficials Of the Weather Bureau will In mea-
sure explain what usually passes for inaccuracy,
or rather unreLability, Of tho weather forecasts
published by the Signal Service. In motto to
The RICHMOND DISPATCH the signal officer makes
a statement that reveals tho official distinction
between the terms fair and 'clear.' He says:
i have the honor to inform you that fair indi-
Gates simply absence Of rain. The sky may be
cloudy and yet the weather may be fair accord
ing to the usage OF this ONCE. Clear Is rarely
used, and would indicate the presence OF fow Or

The Negro Sticks to the South.

The census shows that the non-increase
of the colored race in the South cannot be
attributed to the removal of large num-
bers of them to the North and West.
1t is also demonstration of the fact well
known to southerners that the negroes in
their migrations prefer to seek those Sec
tions Of the Union where people of their
color abound, aud where they may continue
in the enjoyment of the peculiar customs
which have become very dear to them.
Thus it is made tolerably certain that
tho large numbers of colored people who
have left Virginia and North Carolina have
not sought homes in Ohio and Pennsylva-
MIA and other northern and western States,
but have gone to the Gulf States. Nor
have they been deferred from this change
by the stories of hideous outrages alleged
to have been perpetrated upon their color
in those distant southern States.
Certainly the figures of this census afford
no ground for hope that the time will soon
come when the negro population will be
distributed over all the States, giving to
each but small sprinkling in comparison
with the white population. On the con-
trary it is shown that the negro prefers to
remain among the people who held him as
n slave. and from whom he still receives
more of kindness and forbearance than
Others are willing TO extend to him.

The Election for Treasurer.


Our Constitution provides that city
treasurers shall be elected once in three
years. Not knowing this fact, and sup
posing that it was q legislative fault, a can
didate for the House some years ago de-
claimed against this useless annoyance
and expense" and announced his purpose,
if elected, to have such change made as
would throw the election of this officer
into the municipal elections, when the
people vote for mayor, councilmen. DC.
But he was not elected TO the General As
sembly. Had fortune favored his candi-
dacy all that he could have done would
have been to promote the adoption of a
resolution by two successive Legislatures
submitting to the people for adoption or
rejection an amendment TO the Constitu-
ton carrying out his wish. There is no
reason why such an amendment should not
be adopted. 1t could be secured without
any cost, and it would save Richmond, and
other cities perhaps, considerable money
now necessary to be expended in case
like the one soon to come before us, when
an election Is to be held for City Treasurer
and no other officer.
No harm could be done and much good
might be accomplished by making the
City Treasurer elective at the time when
the other city officers are.
This Is a matter about which we should
think and. unless some strong reasons to
the contrary are given. act before we find
ourselves in like situation six years
hence.
It is question how the nomination
of City Treasurer ought to be
made by the Richmond Democrats
this year. The alternatives are q
primary and o convention. The primary
is the mode to which our people are ac-
customed. With all of its imperfections it is
better than any other plan we have ever
tried. 1t gives greater satisfaction to the
voters, and the selections made average as
good as any made otherwise.
1t has been usual to impose upon candi-
dates tho whole expense of conducting
these primaries here, and no very great
hardship arises at the municipal elections
because the burden is then distributed
among great number of aspirants.
But in nominating Treasurer it IS not
likely that there would be more than two
or three persons to share the expense.
This would make it heavy upon each one,
unless, indeed, the City Committee raised
a fund to tighten the candidates burden.
This, we Judge, it would be able to do. If
il cannot do it. why then it will have to
reduce the expenses of the primary by re-
ducing the number of voting precincts
not very desirable thing to do.
This whole matter will soon come before
the City Committee for consideration. and
we doubt not the members will be glad to
hear expressions of opinion from their
fellow-citizens.
Our voice is for primary and for the
opening of all the usual polling places If
possible. The larger the votes polled the
better the people, and the candidates will
be satisfied.
1t is well for brother Democrats to be
thrown together in these friendly con-
tests. IL makes our voters know and feel
that they are the party, end it keeps up
that sympathetic elbow-touch which,
whether in battle or politics keeps up the
current Of unity and strenpth

Easter.

Tn view of the rebellious spirit Of the
weather. which has set at defiance both the
grounding and the UnitedState Govern
uent Weather Bureau. it is impossible to
calculate with unerring precision whether
to-day will be fair or foul; whether 1t will
be "a typical yesterday" or one of
those uely samples which March delights
70 snatch out Of the chill winter to dash
into the genial spring.
II women have any rights at all 1t is to
a sunny and serene Easter. 1t Is due TO
them. and especially to those who have
faithfully kept the penitential season, to
have balmy air and sunny sky, so that
they may blossom back into society In the
latest modes. 1t is true that the Easter
bonnet divides attention with the Easter
sermon, but there is some compensation1n
the fact that the person who is we'll dress
ed. and knows il, has q heart more than
usnallv alive TO tender emotions. The
songs and lessons of the day, so full OF
hope. Joy, and triumph. will not necessa-
rily lose any of their charms because they
fall upon congregations happy in fashion
able habiliments.
We dare not aver, however, that where
woman's eye catches glimpse of an attire
which outshines her own the sight will
have sweetening effect upon her; but as
a general thing men and women both are
fairly we'll satisfied with themselves, and
their good opinions are not easily shaken.
True piety will find occasion for gladness
in the bright faces of the people as 1t does
in the blooming of trees and the return
of yerdure to the bare earth. One tells
that Natures wand has touched the foun-
tains of vegetable life and sent their per-
fumed currents to trunk and branch, twig
and leaf. The other proclaims the Resur-
rection-the bursting of the bonds of death
and the poisoning of the never-fading
flower OF faith.
