To the Editor Of The Dispatch:
have been taken to task several times
since the late publication in your columns
of my reply 10 J. Thomas Fortunes eIag-
aggerated statements relative TO Rich
mond's plug-tobacco output. The burden
of the objections raised to the contraver;
sion made was that, though the facts and
figures gave we're correct. the impression
to be created by the more tlatternS ac-
count should have been allowed to staud
undenied, that the rejection OF such a
creditable report was impolltic and Its OBJ
ective tendency not explcable. Although
nv purpose was. thought, distinctly ex-
pressed at the time, am tempted to en-
phasize the point / then endeavored to
make by noting striking example IN view
which has arisen i'll another quarter.
The most serious source of detriment to
this city that could have arisen is the re-
cent official mortality rate that has been
given to the world, and what makes it in
tensely conspicuous is its contrast to the
deusiye report we have heretofore circu-
lated. All evidence goes to show that
every assumptive advantage has been taken
to proclaim q satisfactory health condition
when it did not exist, and now great is the
fall thereof. To claim something of pecu-
liar injustice in our special case is puerile.
We have simply estimated upon false
premises and have been exposed by the
truth. This same principle will invariably
produce the same result ultimately in any
case.
The difference between the two instances
in question is what Istated originally
That the plug-tobacco trade is in healthy
condition and does not require deceptive
record from which some day to have to re-
cede. Neither is 1t desirable to produce
the impression by excessive figures that
the field is overworked. We are undoubt-
edly prosperous, while manufacturing
something like one tenth OF the worlds
output Of plug tobacco, but there is room
and unequalled advantages for other like
enterprises. DAVID j. BURR.

Her Fifteen Minutes.

tTom Mason in New York SUM-
At exactly fifteen minutes 10 eight
Has step was heard at the garden gate.
And then, with heart that was light and gay
lie laughed TO himself in Iubilant way,
And rang the bell for the maiden trim
Who'd promised to 60 10 the play with him;
And told the servant, with joyous air
10 say there were fifteen minutes TO spare.
And then for fifteen minutes he sat
In the parlor dim, and he held his hat,
And waited and sighed for the maiden trim
Who'd promised % 90 to the play with him,
lie muttered Great Scott 1t is getting late ";
And took turn on the parlor floor,
And waited for fifteen minutes more;
And swore 20 himself In dubious way,
And thought OF those seats In the front parquet,
And midnight came, and the break Of day;
That day and the next, and the next one, too,
lie sat and waited the long hours through.
Then timo fiew ON and the years sped by.
And still he sat, with expectant eye
And lengihening beard, for the maiden trim
Who promised TO so 70 the play with him;
Until one night as with palsied hand
He sat in the chair, for he couldn't stand,
And drumrned In an simless way she came
And opened the door with her withered frame.
The moons bright rays touched the silysred
OF her who had fifteen minutes to spare.
And then In tones that he strained 70 hear
She spoke, and she said, sAre you ready

Won Mo,tke and American Armit

Won Moltke and American Armies.
General Won MoLTKR has been frequently
quoted as having once remarked most con-
temptuously that the armies in the late
civil war inlthis country were armed mobs,
from which nothing of the science of war
could be learned Mr.. PoULrSEY BIGELow,
editor Of Outing, who accompanied the En-
peror of Germany during the man@u-
vres Of the German army last year,
n authority for the statement that
WILLIAM empbatically denied that VoS
MoLrKE ever said anything of the kind.
The Emperor told Mr. BIGELow that no.
thing could be. further from the truth than
that silly story" and that VoS MoLTKE
never entertained any such opinion. On
the contrary, added the Emperor, the old
General had the highest respect for the
American military leaders on both sides,
rs every one acquainted with his admins
tration of the general staff must know,
and frequently expressed his admiration
for the campaigns of GRANT, LIKE, SHERMAN,
and others. VoS MoITKE recognized that
Che whole science Of warfare was illustrated
In the American war, and even to this day
avery German officer is obliged TO study
carefully its history and tactics.

WYTBEYILLE, VA, April 20, 1881.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
I notice with much interest what the
DISPATCH says with reference to the
Worlds Fair at Chicago and on the subject
of State geologist, and would say, with
out any intention to project my views
upon the public ear, that the earliest IA
vorable action possible on the part of the
State in relation TO both subjects would be
productive of most important results.
While | am more or less familiar with
the material resources of the entire State.
| send you a map OF Southwest Virginia,
which will more clearly express my con-
victions OF the great value OF the material
resources of the western half Of the State.
regret that my financial inability pre-
vented me from giving map of this kind
for the entire State, for there is not O
county in the entire hundred of the State
that does not contain many valuable de-
posts of ores minerals, clays, or natural
fertilizers, to say nothing of ornamental
and useful building stones Of many varle-
ties.
A carefully-selected commission to pre-
pare an exhibit for the Chicago Far and q
State Geological Bureau to prepare faith
full series of maps OF all portions of the
State will reap the earliest and most de-
sirable returns in the shape of solid invest
ments of capital and the introduction of
the highest classes of industrial immi-
grants.
Those classes of all kinds which have in
vested their capital and labor III South
west Virginia upon the representation
made to them of its resources have been
in the highest degree conspicuous for the
intelligence and success with which they
have advanced the interests of the State
as we'll as their own.
Faithfully yours, G. Il. BoYD.
