The Rumor of Newport News ~ a Terminus
il without Foundation.

The old rumor that the Richmond and
Danville railroad would seek terminus
at Newport News at an early day has
been again revived. A gentleman OF this
city said yesterday that the officials OF
the Richmond and Danville railroad at
West Point last week conceded that the
removal of the terminus from that place
TO Newport News was virtually settled
being only question Of time. as 1t is n
necessity. 1t is said the new line If
made. will start from White House, IN
New Kent county, on the present line, but
Il was not known whether 1t would reach
Jamestown.
A gentleman intimate with the affairs
of the Richmond and Danville railway.
when asked about the matter, said such
a report at this time was arrant nom

a receiver was in no condition to build
new lines.

that line, when l asked him last evening
If the report was true. we have
good terminus at West Point, and ran
our ships during the late freeze, when

traffic with Baltimore. which we could

A Bargain With satan.

sThere Is an old table which says al
Irish minister was riding along one day
when he met Satan, who wanted 10 make
a bargain with him Tor his soul, and
promised to do any three things the
minister required a. part OF the agree
ment, il the minister would surrender.
They came TO terms at last, and Satan
said what is the first thingI'
II want you to make road through
that bog. have to travel around it, and
it is very dsagrecable," replied the min
lister.
AT the end Of month Satan reported
that the first condition was fulfilled, and
a road made through the hitherto i'm
pGsssble bog.
Now" directed the minister, IL want
you TO make road through that high,
steep mountain. have To drive over il, [,
and it is very hard travelling"
Satan made the road and came and
told the minister, and asked him what
was now the third thing to be done.
II want you," commanded the shrewd
parson, ITO find me respectable, quiet,
good Christian man that keeps liquor
saloon"
You've got me there, old fellow, said
Satan. "for that is something can't do.
There never was such thing"
So Satan was defeated and the minis.
ter got the best OF IL.

What Is Electricity (?

Mr.. s. f. Walker answers this ques-
ton Is follows in an electrical journal :
"As far as the writer is able to under.
stand tho matter now, electricity is
simply the motion Of the molecules Of
the different substances which are the
subjects of electrical action, just as heat,
light and sound are, and the only differ.
cnce between these forces is the rate Of
the motion. The motion Of sound as We
all know, is comparatively slow. That
of heat and light is very rapid. That OF
would appear 10 be some
where between the slow motion OF sound
aud rapid motion Of the heat waves,
whose motion is slowest-that is slow
than that OF light.
And IL would appear that the wonder.
iul adsptibility which electricity shows
for ever kind OF work Is Due entirely 10
the position which its rate Of motion oc-
cupies in the scale Of energies. II would
also appear that the reason this wonder
|ful agent lay dormant for so many ages
and is very largely, at any rate, because
we have no sense which responds to the
particular periods OF vibration CON.
lprised within the electric range

The Drunkard.

The London Times recently contained
a leading article on the treatment OF hs-
bitual drunkards in England, which
closed with these very significant re-
marks: "One thing may be considc, ed as
proved, namely, that the halcyon days Of
the habitual drunkard are drawing TO
their close. He is no longer looked npon
as nobody's enemy but his own, or as a
convenient butt for merry makers who
are tending towards his own condition.
People are beginning to realize that he
is curse and a nuisance, and that, IL ne
cannot be mended, he must inevitably
before long be placed in some kind Of
permanent seclusion." That smacks
more strongly of prohibition than the
Times used to 90. Drunkards II now
sees are somebody's enemy beside their
own; they are curse and nuisance to
the community, and must be kept ont Of
harms way by some meanS II will yet
open it eyes to the fact that the easiest
and most eflectual way to rid the COM
muniiy of drunkards Is to rid the COM
munity of drink sellers. Where there
are no drink sellers there will surely be
no drunksrds.
