MIND AND GENIUS.

A candle burning in the night
Ia all directions sends it light
The spangled blaze emlts its rays
And reaches out in many ways
That those around, above, below
Nav see the shining halo show
To all of those within its plane
The measure of its powers reign.
SO mind emits It's mental rays,
And everywhere its beacon plays;
Throughout the channels known to thought,
The measure of its strength Is cauRht;
But genius is brilliant sheen
By which mere mind seems dull and mean
AS feeble as candles might
Beside electric glare of light.

Chinaman living in Australia when
anxious to have wife of his own nation,
sends letter to an agent in Hong Kong,
written in such terms as these: 81 want
wife. She must be q maiden under 20
years OF age, and must not have left her
fathers house. She must also have never
read book, and her eyelashes must be half
an inch in length. Her teeth must be as
sparkling as the pearls of Ceylon. Her
breath must be like unto the scents of the
magnificent odorous groves of Java, and her
attire must be from the slken weaYers of
Ka-la-Ching, which are on the banks of the
greatest river In the world-the ever-fowing

The price Of Chinese woman, delivered in
Sydney is 93S, but two Chinese women only
cost 952; therefore the Chinese import the
women in couples. The importer never sees
generally selects the best looking one. The
other is shown around to a number of
well-to-do Chinese, and after they have In
spected her, she is submitted to what may be
called public auction.
The writer happened to be present at one of
these sales. A young girl aged about 10, was
offered, and, after some spirited bidding, pur-
chased by wealthy Chinese shopkeeper,
whose place of businessis in one of the leading

He was the man who boldly denounced
democracy as a great beast" and who re-
luctantly accepted republican principles be-
cause the only other alternative presented TO
him was his WI political extinction.
All the influences that have operated to CEN
traiize the General Government emanated IN
the beginning from the political doctrines
and the public acts of Alexander Hamilton.
II tyrannical power shall ever subvert a re-
publican form of government in the United
States it will be traced TO the principles
which he first enunciated and which he sought
systematically TO enforce in his lifetime ana
which his disciples have endeavored with
equal persistency and with q success unat-
tanned by their great exemplar, to engrait
upon the framework of our Government.
In the minds of all true Americans the name
of Hamilton is overloaded, and the decline
in the spirit of freedom among the people OF
the United States will be measured by any
increase in the honor that will be paid TO his
memory.

THE State of yesterday copies the article
which appeared in these columns yesterday
morning headed Interfering With Work
men," and says:
The State indorses its contemporary. 1t is
very evident that a system of attempted in
timidation of workmen has been pushed to an
extent prejudicial TO the good name of Rich
mond and Objectionable to the sentiment of
the citizens of Richmond. It is due that the
men who work at the Richmond Locomotive
Works should be protected from the constant
insults to which they are subjected. The
strikers have a right to quit work, but they
have no right TO interfere with the men who
are honestly striving to earn a living"
Now that the press of the city is almost
unanimous in denouncing the outrages which
are being practiced on the employees Of the
Locomotive Works by the strikers O hearty
public sentiment in opposition to the practice
will be aroused which the authorities cannot
resist. At present no one, no matter who he
may be, can approach the Locomotive Works
without running the risk of being stopped
and in various ways annoyed by groups of
idlers ioafng around the vicinity.

THE recent decision of the Supreme Court
of Connecticut in the election cases there viz

him from receiving a clear majority ,anddid en-
able one Mr.. Buckley, who was not even a

and draw the salary, lisa very pretty commen-
tary on the election laws of the State.
A few years ago Congress was very fond Of

As predicted in THE TINES on the morning
| when the representatives Of the olcott COM
| mittee met with the State Debt Comm'Ssion'
| the negotiations for the settlement OF the ueo'
| have resulted in nothing definite. Inc con-
| ferences were held in secret. but rom WIN.
| has leaked out it Is pretty well known 'na'
| the Olcott committee came to Richmond WIN
no we'll matured plan TO offer. They mace q
sort of proposition which had been discussed
between the bondholders and the ADVISORY
hoard in New York, but not one when was
based on actual knowledge OF the hnanciai
condition of the State. In consequence, as
anticipated, the offer was declined by the
Debt Commission, and the committee have
returned to consult afresh with the bond
holders as to what further discretion they can
be allowed in future negotiations.
The whole subject, therefore, remains in
statu quo, but one great point has been
gained. The bondholders' representatives
and the Debt Commission have learned TO
know each other better and a more thorough
understanding Of the position of all the parties
at interest has been arrived at. This must
greatly simplify further conferences, and as
it cannot be doubted that the States repre-
sentatives are DESTROYS Of reaching an honor
able agreement, which will remove tho vexa-
tious debt question forever from politics, and
so keep down in future the opportunity 1t has
afforded ~demagogues and p~lace-hunters 10
injure the credit Of the Commonwealth, and
as the Olcott committee show a very decided
inclination to settle on the best terms they
can reasonably expect, it is to DO hoped that
at the next conference some satisfactory con-
clusion will be readily reached.
The sooner this is done the better for all
concerned. Virginia can never expect to
firmly re-establish her credit nor take her
rightful place of honor among her sister States
so long as the stigma of refusing to meet her
obligations rests upon her, and until she IS IN
position to do so her material welfare and
prosperity must necessarily be retarded. 1t
does not seem likely, however, hat anything
final can be done before the Legislature meets
in December. For months yet the country
and farmer members will not be able TO leave
their farms TO come to Richmond. and very
soon now the fall campaign will be opened
and local statesmen will have their hands
full looking after their political inter
ests. An extra session between now and
the time for the meeting of the next Legisla-
ture, therefore, will be impracticable and alto
gether unlikely. Still, inasmuch as the bond
holders committee now certainly understand
better than they ever did before the basis
upon which the State is ready to negotiate
and as the Debt Commission understand more
clearly the position of the bondholders. itdoes
seem reasonable that by December next an
honorable plan of settlement may be agreed
upon which will be promptly sanctioned by
the General Assembly.

SHEEP HUsBANDRY IN VIRGINIA.

There is no more commendable feature
in the liberal and enterprlsing policy which
the Norfolk and Western Railroad Com
pany is pursuing in its endeavor to pro-
mote the prosperity Of the country adj
jacent to its lines than the earnest effort
which it is now making to encourage sheep
husbandry. A pamphlet has been issued by
this company on sheep-breeding and wool
growing in Virginia which will be found to be
full of valuable and interesting information
on the subject and containing many useful
and practical suggestions as to how this in
terest can be advanced.
OF this pamphlet some thirty thousand
copies will be distributed among the farmers
of the Shenandoah Valley, the Southwest and
Southside Virginia, the sections of the State
upon which the Norfolk and Western company
relies for its support, and there is every rea-
son to believe that the pamphlet will exercise
a very important influence in promoting the
object which it has in view.
In a letter to the American Wool Reporter
ce-President Eddy expresses the opinion
that Virginia can be made, if the proper steps
be taken, one of the leading wool-producing
States of the Union, and the facts with refer
ence to climate and soil which the pamphlet
presents confirms the accuracy Of this opinion
in the most convincing way.
The soil Of the country through which the
Norfolk and Western railway passes is a lime
stone or a stiff. clayey loan which is well
adapted to grass or grain. while the Innate is
equable. the mercury rarely falling below
zero or rising above ninety degrees. This is
true not only Of Western and Southwestern
Virginia, but also of the State in its entirety.
With such climatic conditions. a high, dry
land, clear, pure atmosphere and freedom
from %dampness, sheep are always healthy,
foot-rot and other affections are of rare occur
renee and losses in the flock from any disease
are not often suffered.
As the pamphlet very justly points out,
sheep husbandry must languish in Virginia
as long as dogs remain untaxed. Until a dog
law is passed large tracts in this State adj
mirably adapted to this form of husbandry
will continue unutilized, and therefore a mere
burden upon the hands of the own
ers. There is little hope OF the passage Of
such a law unless the Farmers Alliance through
its representative in the next Legislature
shall take up the question and see TO il that
such a law is inserted in our statute book.
If they clearly understand what is most con-
duciye to their true interests the members Of
that organization will insist that the amplest
protection shall be furnished TO those who
are either engaged or planning to engage in
sheep-raising and w~ool-growing in this State.
