Mountains in the Atlantic.

Four years-ago the British government Sc nj
out an expedition to map the bottom of the
Atlantic ocean. The work is now about CO M
pleted and report has been issued. 1t shows
that if the water were drained away the bee
of the ocean would show vast plain travers
ed near the centre by mountain range run
ming parallel with the American Goa st
Another range running almost at right
angles to this, extends from New foundland
to ireland. In a general way these facts were
known before, but it is now ascertained thai
the tops of these sea mountains are about two
miles below the surface and that the basins,
instead of being "unfathomed Depths are
about four and one-half miles below the sur
face. OF course this is far enough, but one
would great deal rather know that the bot
tom is five miles down than to be told that its
location has not been ascertained The latter
is so utterly hopeless. A curious fact regard
ing the mountains is that the tops are as white
as though they lay in the region of perpetual
snow. The reason for this, according to the
Rochester Post Express, is that the mountains
are thickiy covered with a species of pure
white shells. The legions Of the lost Allan

Hon. Basil B. Gordon. Chairman of the
Democratic party Of Virginia, wrote to
Mr.. NJ. Glennan, editor of the Norfolk
Virginian and member of the State Exec

letter in reference to the great victory
achieved by the Democrats in the Second
Congressional district. He said:

Virginia, if it was to be saved, lay IN your

THE NEWS OF THE DAY.

A company has been formed at Saltville
Va, near the line of the n & W. r. R., and
backed by unlimited capital, to develop the
ineXhaustible salt deposits at that place. 1t
Will spend million dollars in erecting the
second largest soda ash and bleach plant in
the United States. Its product when in full
operatontwill be $1,000 tons of soda ash and
bleach per annum. The company will be
known as the Mathieson Alkeli Works, NAM
ed after the general superintendent a Scotch
man, who will come from large soda ash
works in England to take charge of the plant.
The property purchased by the new company
contains several square miles. The Saltville
salt is unusually pure. 1t will take from six
months to year to get the plant in operation.
Hundreds of mechanics will find employment
in erecting the necessary buildings and ma
chinery, building the watts, etc. 1t is estimat-
ed that Saltville will become a town of three
OF four thousand people within the next five
years. The Mathieson Works will pay out
$500, 900 IN yearly wages to some 700 employ
ees. The works, the town and the extra
freight SERVICE it is estimated, will use $4,000
tons of coal year, which will give 800 miners
and railroad men employment.

wages asked by the conductors East OF the
Ohio The freight conductors will receive
from IS to $40 advance and the passenger from

FRIDAY MORNING. DEC. 9, 1892
DEATH OF JUDGE STOUT.

Of the features of government, those
pertaining to the counties are Of the high
est character and in their proper applica-
ton and administration secure for the COM
munity full share of the means which lead
up to the best culture Of the people and in
Strengthening their prosperity. In this
view, observation and experience can. m
der the working of our State constitution
and laws, testify as general proposition,
to the large advantages which are realized
as wise and discreet judge discharges the
duties of his Office The facts here advert
ed to. will admit of much enlargement, as
the people of Augusta county shall ponder
over the realization of the dispensatiOn OF
Divine providence which has deprived them
of the superior abilities as iurlst and that
large and comprehensive advocacy OF county
progress which were SO prominent in Judge
Stout S administration. As proverbial as
Virginians are to fully comprehend, and,
then with strict fidelity, perform every duty
enjoined upon them, the history of the
State does nos furnish a name that will go
uON W pOOOCllUy Wiou W lSoueOA AO>OANi oAAeAA'
that of the lamented gentleman whose loss
the whole community deeply mourn. But
in many respects Judge Stout was more
than is thus said of him. Not day passed
that did not testify to his labor and care
full methodical effort for the promotion OF
the material interests and general prosperi-
ty Of the people Of Augusta county. A
gradual fulillment of the plans projected
were more to be desired as he surveyed the
field, than quicker advancement through
undue haste. Wise, deliberate and conser-
vative, he accomplished all which the cir
cumstances demanded, and his conscien-
tious convictions pointed out.
The Board of Supervisors and all the de-
partments of the county government were
in full accord with the policy of Judge
Stout. There was much to be admired in
the felicitOus manner in which the county
government moved forward all the progress
their associated counsels provided for, in
the lesser as well as the higher branches of
duty. In all this the people of Augusta
may not have fully realized the extent to
which such influences were going out for
good beyond their own county line, but
such was the fact.
Bowling submissively to the great loss
which has come to pass, it is our duty as a
community, as it is in all respects, to ap-
ply the visitation for our future good. A
bright example and the deeds Of a noble
man will be cherished in our hearts. Just
reached the years of ripe manhood, yet his
work was established ard his teachings are
deeply impressed, as his manner and his ac-
ton have contributed to making the re-
cords of his county and his people. Graft
tude will encompass the recollection of his
services and in fadeless green this genera
ton of his people will transmit his memo
ry to posterity.

drawn that would open the door only wide
enough to let in such immigrants as might be
desirable. Representative Stump, the chair
man OF the House committee on immigration,
had a long talk with Senator Mcpherson on
the 9th, so as to have the benefit of his expe-
rience and views in the preparation of the
bill for regulating immigration which he now
has under consideration.

jority of the stock in the hands Of the Chesa-

that in the event of success the additional
ships of the line will be built at Newport
News instead of abroad.
Coffee has made sharp advance IN price in
the last two OF three months. While so far
the effect has been felt chiefly in wholesale
tradmgs, it is certain that retailers will

the advance and that consumers will be forced
to pay from three to four and half cents
more than at present.

cult Court at New Orleans that the suits for
damages against the city government growing
out OF the Lynching OF the Italian prisoners
in the Malta riots must now be tried on their
merits. In order to gain time the city filed
exceptions to the citations, asserting that the
testimony was improperly taken in Italy and
that the court lacked jurisdiction.
