A QUEER BARoMETER.-One of the
most curious of the many natural ba-
rometers consists ola halfpint glass half
full of water, piece of muslin and
!eech. The lcech must be put in the
water and the muslin tied over the top
of the glass so that the creature cannot
get out again. When fine weather is to Q
be the order of the day the leech will
remain at the bottom of the water, coil
ed UP in spiral shape, and perfectly mo-
tionless. If rain is to be expected it
will creep to the top of the glass, and
remain there until there is likelihood
of more settled weather. If there is to
be a storm of wind the little animal
will comfort itself violently and squirm
about. For some days before thunder
it will keep out of the water almost all
the time, and will occasionally move
its body in a convulsive fashion. For
frosty weather it behaves in the same
manner as for fine, and it foretells snow
in the same manner as it does rain.

THERE Is NO evil without a compen-

rather than repealed. There are more
people in the country now than can be

A REPUBLICAN newspaper in Mary
land says Virginia seems very likely
to walk arm-in-arm with West Virginia
into the republican column in Novem-
ber." Well, there is nothing more I'M
certain than elections-and prize fights,
but the climax of strange things would
be reached if the sons of the pas, gen
Grafton of virginians should allow their
fathers State to cast her vote for a man
who thanks God he was not born on
her soil, and who is in favor ola bill that
would compel them to refrain from
voting, or else to vote under the supervi-
sion of federal officers and at polls
guarded by armed negro deputy mar
shals.

A MEMBER of Il rich Boston corpora
ton publicly states that though the
seven members thereof voted for Mr..
Cleveland four years ago, only one will
do so next November, and that he is
not that one. The rich man referred
to, if it be his desire that Mr.. Cleve-
land be defeated, should not have made
this remark, for there are comparative
ly few rich voters, but millions of poor
ones, and, wrong though it be, it has
become the rule for many of the latter
to allow their prejudice against the
former to influence their votes, and this
is just as true Of those in Massachusetts,
as of those in every other State of the
re-Union.

As stated in the GAZETTE general
meeting of the stockholders ofthc Rich

ported through Chairman Crawford
that there was more than quorum
represented by proxy or in person. In
other words, there were tiye-seyenths
of the whole amount represented. OF
this amount the Clyde people appear TO
have about 100000 shares. On the mo-
ton of Mr.. Or, the same committee
was continued rs the election commit
tee, and retired for the purpose Of pre-
senting names of officers. Prior to re
firing, Mr. Calhoun presented resou-
ton looking TO an investigation of the
affairs of the company. He stated that
it was important for the stockholders
of the company TO understand the past
history of the company; that grave
charges, which were unqua!iliedly
false, had been made in public prin;s
and elsewhere, and that the preserve
ton of the company depended largely
upon a true understanding OF the
causes which had led to the present de
plorable condition Of the company. Mr..

THE THIRD PARTY speakers in Nir-
GINA, judged by the reported accounts
of their speeches, lay great strength
upon the per capita amount of circula-
ton. Why, they may just as we'll be con
cerned about the per caudam amount.
The business Of the world has grown so
large that it is not carried on by money,
but by exchange, checks, drafts, &c.
But, even lift were otherwise, and if
money were as plentiful rs it was in
Virginia during the war between the
States, nobody could get any OF it eX-
cept in exchange for labor or some
thing else he had to dispose Of and then
its purchasing value would be greatly
deprecated The matter with the per
capitas is as much lack of brains as Of
money

ALEXANDRIA, VIRR GINA.
FRIDAY EVENING, SEPT. 16, 1892.

GEN. MALONE says no republican
can be elected to Congress in any Viz
ginia district, and therefore no republi-
can congressional candidates snou'd be
run in the State this fall. The General
is right. But Mr. Wood, who has been
nominated in the 9th district, and Mr..
Bowdcn. who will la y the 2nd, and
the negro Langston, who wants to bcin
the fth. don't agree with MIN, and SO
there will be more fuss. The General
now says the aspirations of would-be
republican congressman must be sacri-
feed in the grand effort to secure the
electoral vote OF The State for Mr.. Har-
rison. But it was only a short time ago
that the General announced publicly
that no body ever supposed the repub-
licans could get one electoral vote in
Virginia, and then, too, every body
knows that he IS not dead in love with
Mr.. Harrison. Evidently the republi-
can party is in a bad way in this State.
