"Forty Years q Doctor"

(From the London Lancet OF August 7th)
Editor Times:
From the careful and complimentary criti-
cism of this leading medical journal Of the
world you will find confirmation of your edi-
torial communication Of Forty Years u Doc
tor:
Were we to ADOPT a custom of the time
and call for a census Of medical opinion as to
the life work of the profession in its personal
and social aspects we could not fail 10 inter
est and instruct many besides the practitioner
whose immediate concern II Is. No attempt
Of the kind has yet been made. but the efect
is hardly different when a veteran in practice
offers us the ripe fruits of his matured and
critical observation.
The age and the standing of DR.. William
W. Parker, of Richmond. u. s. A.. combine
to fit him for this Office. and his retrospect Of
half a lifetime, which WAS lately published
under the above title, is not wanting in yalua-
BILE suggestions. To the younger generation
of practitioners. to whom it was addressed, it
reveals. though in outline merely. a true pic
ture of some of the more familiar perpleXitles,
difficulties. pleasures and regrets which be-
long 10 the round OF their daily
duty. It's proffered c~ounsels are ortho-
dox in their good taste and reasonable
ness. How to behave il emergencies,
how 10 meet various losses. rebuffs and dis
sultation. the duty of truth and OF judgment
in speaking il, right and wrong methods in
seeking business. =" the satisfaction of doing
good and the Claims of charity arc each con
sidered in turn and with more or less of ex-
planatory detail. The author is evidently no
pessimist. The conclusion with him is not
vanity OF vexation. He finds life 10 be worth
living. Doubters may prohtably note this as
the experience Of one who was forty years q

Robbery IN POWHATAF.
A Store and Postofhce Entered-Case Before
the Police Court.

the Police Court.
The store snd postofice at the town OF
Dorset, in Powhatan county, a station on the
Richmond and Danville railroad, was broken
into and robbed yesterday morning at 2
O'Clock. Mr.. George l.. Davis is the proprle-
tor of the store. and Mr.. W. Ii. Williams Is
the postmaster at Dorset.
The robbery WAS discovered very early in
the morning, and information was at once
forwarded down the railroad. At Coaltield q
negro boy boarded the train and at once
CAPTAIN VI. ID. Rudd. who had learned of the
robbery, grew suspicious OF the youth. lie
carried several bundles. and his actions soon
confirmed Captain Rudd i'll his belief that he
knew the thief.
At Granite. about four miles from Rich
mond, the boy left the train. Captain Rudd
at once started after him, when he turned
and drawing two pistols attempted 70 escape,
but the Captain was in earnest and finally
succeeded in capturing the youth.
A telegram was at once sent TO Mr.. Davis
and he cam TO Granite and brought the
prisoner 10 thisc city.
In the police court he gave the name Of Eli
Tuck and said be was from Danvile. On his
person WAS found about 80 Iii money and q
quantity of postage stamps. all stuck together.
He had also several pistols and a lot or goods
and new shoes and some clothing that he had
taken and put on. MT. Davis says that the
negro lit a lamp, walked around and helped
himself.
Justice Crutchfeld delivered Tuck over to
Policeman John T.. Hall, who, in company
with MIR. Davis. left for Powhatan Courthouse
at 8 o'clock yesterday.
Mr.. Davis also went before Commissoner
Peasants and swOre out a warrant against the
accused on the charge of rObbing the pOst0f-
fee.
He is held under the State laws for house
breaking and larceny. Tuck entered the
store from the rear and the total value of the
goods taken is over $50. He is not OF age and
Is coal-black and not bad looking. The rob-
berry was committed at 2 A.. bf. and he was ar
rested by 6 o'clock, which is very quick work.

A Small Gathering, rev Sas's ~"
Money-fItxhugh Lee smith.
The gathering within the gloomy walls OF
! the police court yesterday was as small as inc
| second.nicht's audience Of a barn stormlns
| comedy company. and the list OF offenders
| was no larger than n subscription list 10 a ne"
monument fund or a charity cause.
Justice John looked wearily out over the
| sawdust as he noticed the slim chances ior 'he
! exercise OF equity, and Sergeant InoHlas
wore an anxious look az he realized that lew
fines and little money would result from the
mornings work. III
Fitzhngh Lee Smith was charged with
| being a suspicious character. There may DO
nothing in a name, but the Justice could not
realize that a man, even a colored man; with
such q name could be- guilty OF wrong DONG
and so he was promptly discharged.
George Johnson and John Lincoln had
cross-warrants each charging the other with
abusive language. It seemed to be only o
little lovers quarrel in which words more ex-
pressive and emphatic we're used than those
generally employed in the assurances OF
affection, but His Honor thought they would
forgive and forget their :rlning dinerehceS'
and so dismissed them with costs, 49,.
Jim Fry and Mary Scott were charged with
curgng and abusing Addie Shackelford. inns
was another case of simple midsummer diver
sion. and the Justice required only the costs.
Jack Rhodes was fined $3.50 for assaultlng
and beating Edward Moore:
Lewis Lindsey was fined 81 for indulging
too freely In stimulants.

is the captain OF a vessel plying between this

about four feet long and nearly two feet wide.
The material Of which they are made is a
misty. cloud-like substance of japanese silk
gauze, the texture of which is known the
world over as being the finest grade of silk
manufactured. The figures on them are
of the most natural immagiDable,
and the coloriIg are Of the deepest and richest
hue, whilel the positions are perfectly
natural. On one Of them. extending from top
to bottom, is Japanese baigousa tree with
bright colored flowers at the base. Perched
on a knot of the old tree is a japanese
pheasant embroidered out Of silk Of such
brightness and richness that one would
easily believe it to have been done with a
magic brush. The whole thing is worked by
