BLACK AND WITTY.

Black and white now reposed against
the rock, with white at its feet. Just be-
fore bright pink had shone forth. and.
little before that, old rose. The rock was
a peculiar color. a rich brown, and was a
favorite stopping place on the shore. The
girls liked 1t because II brought out the
color I'm their dresses so prettily and be-
cause the shadow Of it softened the tints
Of their complexion; the men, because It
was so sheltered and afforded such
delightful opportunity to lazily stretch at
the feet Of their lady love. In the cool
white Of their summer wardrobe.
This time, as / said, it was black and
white. Not black and white IN checks.
for that is no longer so popular as Of
yore The black and whites are now
specklei or run with fine threads. one
color merging Into the other. The black
organizes and batlstes are often sprayed
with white blossomj but, on the whole.
he set pattern prevails. The black and
white is not correct unless carried % the
smallest detail Of dress. The white shoes
must be trimmed AID tied with black.
The black fan must be painted In white.
the plumage of the white hat must be
both black and white. black with
shadOwy white dots. has n deep ruiIic OF
white lace. crossed with three narrow
folds Of black velvet. with an occasional

offensive TO the ear He believed that a
lawyer should marry woman with a
iesai turn OF mind, and as for himself.
ne confessed IL he could find a female
lawyer In the State he would not object
10 mhbing her matrimonial offer. He
would not invade other States. however,
In search OF a congenlal partner.
On The day before the last earth
quake OF Zante cloud of fiuttering OBJ
jects, at first mistaken for locusts, made
Its appearance near the village OF Mega
ponte. on the coast OF Morea. AS II
approached the village 1t was seen to
be bats OF a small. rust-colored variety
that haunt the coast swamps In the night
time, and pass the day in caves. Thous-
ands Of the squeaking little excursionists
settled on the lower branches OF the
shade trees, or dropped on the ground
exhausted, as though they had come
from a considerable distance. 1t Is sup
posed that they had established their
dormitory in the vaults of the large lime
stone caverns six miles north Of Mega
ponte. and were dislodged by an eruption
OF sulphurous vapors from one OF the
volcanic clefts that cross the coast range
in all directions.
That the earth's motion has an ap-
preciable effect upon artillery fire, de-
fecting the projectiIe from straight
course, may be news to many, and as
such would probably seem novel notion.
II has, and the exact nature and extent
OF the effect is an important point OF
study with artillery experts An Eng
Iish army expert told Of the results OF
many interesting experiments along this
line in a paper read before the Royal
Artillery Institution the other day. Fir
ing from north to south there is a diver
gence OF projectiles to the left. due TO
the earth's rotation, and firing due north
the divergence is TO the right. The ex-
tent OF the pull varies az different
points on the earth's surface, and with
projectiles fred at different speeds and
elevations. In England a detection OF
five inches is found TO occur with the
projectile OF twelye-pounder in 1000
ward range.

.h.r. resistance is ali on the outside, as

Now. when we consider the case OF
nancr currency, as related TO these princi-
,,,es we say that IL paper currency Is
sued by the Government itself is the very
strongest paper currency that we can have
and. IL we are to have the Government In
,erferins with the matter at all, let the
Government do the best OF all and Issue
all the currency itself. But as soon as
we concede that We concede the PROPOSE
ton that when pressure comes the true
nfinciple Of government may be aban-
doned, and the false one taken up that
government may properly nurse the ciu-
zen and take care OF him when he makes
bargains that would bring injury to him
unless he Is watched. Now we cannot see
how this proposition can be conceded
without giving UP the whole case TO the
Socialist, and agreeing that everything
shall be controlled by the medding law
maker. We say let us avoid this horrible
condition at any cost whatever. Confine
government TO its proper sphere Of pre-
serving the peace, and let people make
that each one thinks best for himself.

THE REQUEST OF THE FIRE COM
MIssfONERs.

The Board OF Fire Commissioners nave
addressed most sensible letter 10 'he
city Council. in which Il asks that GER
tain portions OF the Councils power
shall be delegated 30 Il. and we have no
doubt the Council will promptly appre-
| ctata the reasona bleness OF the request
| and grant the power as asked. Their
request is that the granting Of privileges
10 erect wooden buildings in the city
shall rest with that board rather than
/ with the Council. They point out with
great force that permission to erect
such n wooden wheat elevator as the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad has put
I'D In the heart OF the business centre OF
the city should never have been granted.
ard that its existence there seriously
lmperils neighboring property of immense
value, and II suggests very plainly that
the permission would never have been
granted II the subject had been con-
trolled by that board; and we say that
the permission ought never to have been
granted.
II Is obvious that this matter would be
controlled with much more discretion
and wisdom IL it were placed under the
Jurisdiction Of the Board Of Fire Com
missioners than it can possibly be when
controlled by the Council. The Fire
Commissioners have their minds always
upon the question Of what risk the city
win be put to by the erection Of par
ticular wooden structure, whilst the
average councilman has his mind directed
10 this question in the special case only,
and even then in very perfunctory
manner. 1t is evident, then. that 1t
will receive a much more careful consid-
Grafton from the Fire Commissioners
than from the Council.
But whilst we most heartily approve
Of the Fire Commissioners being granted
phatically protest against the terms IL
which they ask 1t. They say:
Eve therefore humnly repeat that no
structure Of this kind should be allowed"
&c.
The Board OF Fire Commissioners Is a
coordinate department Of the govern
ment Of the city Of Richmond, and when
II makes an official recommendation 30
the Council or TO any other body there
is no occasion whatever for 1t to be
humble about the matter. 1t is not
for them TO be humble" to he Council
Of Richmond or TO any one whatever.
They are men and freemen, charged by
law with the performance Of important
duties. and they should perform those
duties boldly and openly. and with out
spoken voice, and "humbly" to no one.
No man will be respected who does not
respect himself.
