The Farmers In Virginia.

Ahc Farmers III ' irEinia.
RcHMoND, VA, April 3O.-Thc leg
lslatlvc campaign in Virginia this year
promises to be unusually interesting. 1t
is not probable that the Republicans will
make any fight. The contest will be
chiefly confined to the Farmers A iliancc.
That element demands important lcgs-
lation at the hands of the General AS
scmbly, whose members are to be chosen
this year.
Foremost among these demands is
that Tor a law creating Il railway COM
mission, with authority to regulate
charges and prevent discrimination in
rates. The farmers. too, believe that
the salaries of state officials might be
reduced, criminal charges cut down,
more liberal appropriations made for the
State department ct agriculture, and
numerous other benefits bestowed upon
that class. These issues will be form
ulatcd by the Alliance State Conven-
ton. which meets here i'll August. The
leaders say that these arc to be 50 clear
ly and sharply defined that Candidates
for the Legislature cannot cvadc them.
The Democrats will not call Il COnycn-
ton. The state committe of that party
will meet soon to discuss the campaign,
but no Convention, !; is understood, will
be called. The Alliances claim MEM
bcrship OF something like 40, 900 in this
State, and, if anything like unanimous,
can easily control legislation. The idea
Of Tic leaders is not to have any third
party, but TO make their demands with
in the ranks OF the Democrats. If they
do this they can, they think, easily ci-
feet their purposes.
The Republican League Of the State
will meet here a pril 20 to elect delegates,
to the National Convention of Leagues,
which is to be held in Cincinnati. This
organization has not tlourishcd in this
State. John 5. Wise was among those
who started in with it, but his ardor soon
cooled of, and bit little interest has been
taken in it since. Some little life seems
to be infused into the League now, be.

State to the National Republican Con.

Why Eels Are Objectionable.

Inasmuch as cells must go to sea in
order to propagate their species, they are
found not to multiply at all when placed
in ponds that are ~landlocked, although
in such places they will grow rapidly
and be healthy. It costs so little to pur-
chase young mes by the quantity that
this is no obstacle to the usefulness of
stocking inland waters with these fish.
They have many very important advan-
tages from the economic point of view,
inasmuch as they will feed on anything
dead or alive, will thrive in water clear
or muddy and at any temperature, and
require no looking out for.
However, in rivers like the Susque-
hanna, where gill nets are used, eels
are very undesirable. 1t is not unusual
upon hauling the nets in hat stream
and in others farther south to find that
the catch has been entirely eaten up By
myriads Of the squirming robbers, which
have left little besides heads and back
bones. It has been found advantageous
by the fish commission to plant eeb in
the upper great lakes and in the Missis.

Curved Trunks Get Straight.

Possibly the greatest manifestation of
growth power that could be referred to
is in the power Of many trees to curve
their trunks when partly blown over,
though they may have had them straight
for a quarter Of a century. This curious
subject is yet in its infancy as IL branch
Of study; but so far the curying has
been noticed more in connection with
palms and cOniferous trees. \ trunk
may be, say twenty or thirty feet high
and a foot thick, and as straight as q gun
barrel. Should it, from any cause, be-
come tilted in a few years the whole

What Vertigo Comes From.

One of the principal causes Of the
serious forms Of vertigo, or dizzi-
ness, is a diseased condition Of the in
most portion of the ear, the labyrinth.
Vertigo of greater or less severity may
result from whatever disturbs the blood
pressure, either within the labyrinth or
in the middle ear. Similar effects are
also produced by false impressions re-
ceived through the eye, or through the
/ sense Of touch, and by disease Of the
spinal cord.
Since the great nerve which goes to
the stomach is at its cerebral center init
mately associated with the auditory
nerve, disturbance of the stomach may
cause the vertigo, and Oh the other hand,
a disturbance of the auditory nerve may
occasion nausea or, vomiting. Vertigo
is sometimes brought on by paralysis Of
a single muscle Of the eye, or even by
the temporary weakness Of an overtaxed
ocular muscle.
The form Of vertigo now known as
"Meniere's disease is that form which
the famous Dean Swift suffered, and
under which he often appeared like a
staggering drunkard. The patient on
rising in the morning feels as if the
room were whirling round, or as if he
were floating or sinking. Sometimes he
falls when attacked, but he never loses
consciousness. There are noises-some-
times quite loud-in the ear and more
or less deafness. There may be also
faintness and vomiting. The attacks in

business men. His relatives in the west
persons Of good social standing and
some means--were very glad to grant
such courtesies to him in consideration
Of his departure from their immediate
neighborhood. He had proved an *
pensive indulgence for them.
One of the gentlemen upon whom the
young man called was the president of a
fourishing down town bank. This bank
president had been the intimate friend
Of the young mans father, and, without
thinking Of the consequences, he offered
to do anything in his power to advance
the interests Of the son of his old friend.
The young man had "a business scheme"
in his head and he wanted credit at the
bank until his expected remittances ar
rived. The bank president told him
that he might draw up to 81 900.
The checks came in promptly for large
and small amounts until . the young
mans overdrawn account amounted to
$1,150. The hard headed cashier then
went to- the president and suggested
that the bank ought to have some col
lateral. He frankly admitted that he
had no confidence in either the young
mans schemes or his intentions. The
president saw the force Of his cashiers
suggestion, but, still chary of offending
his old friends son, he wrote a personal
letter to the young man, saying:
My DEAR YoUNG FRIEND-It has been a
pleasure for me to accOmmodate you with a
small line of credit at the bank. Sufficient
time, however, has elapsed, | think, to enable
you to realize on your own resources, and |
trust that you are now able to make a settle
mcnt. In fact, | am constrained to say that
you must either make your account good or
cease drawing checks on the bank.
The young man was not thin skinned,
and this letter did not offend him. He
smiled as he read the closing sentence,
and stepping into the Office of a friendly
broker, he penned the following note:
RESPECTED SIR-Accept my cordial thanks
for your kindness. Of the two alternatives
that You suggest | am obliged to accept the
latter. | shall cease drawing checks on your
bank. With kindest regards, etc,
The kind hearted bank president was
somewhat nonplussed by this reply, and
he showed the note to his cashier. That
practical functionary looked over his
gold trimmed glasses at his superior and
said: "Umph! well, that is pretty slick.
But you have got rid of him cheaper
than | thought you would."-New York

There are five of these rolls used, three

their wives attended service, were gath

the "horseshed class" and no mem bers
of the school were more regular in at
tendence, or original in response. One
day the lesson was upon the death of
Moses, and the teacher, having located
"Nebo's lonely mountain" upon his map
asked the meaning of "Nebo"-no doubt
having in mind the tutelar deity in
honor of whom the Babylonish digni-
taries bore such goodly names as Nebu-
