Boyle o'Reilley's swordsmanship.
E.A. Moseley in Donohoe Magazine.

Boyle O'Reilley was skilled swords
man. He told me that when he first
came fugitive to this country he thought
he would maintain himself by giving les
sons in broadswOrd, singlestick and foils
and il used to give him great pleasure to
put n foil in my hands and say to me-for
l professed to know nothing of it-"Ned,
on guard Now, run me through. Thrust
me anywhere you can. Kill me if you
can" And then, with smile upon his
face, he would ward off my lunges until,
suiting his purpose, he would send my
sword flying across the room. Often on
our excursions he would say to me: Ned,
take that stick and cut me down" He
wanted no play about it; he wanted an
earnest fight, and complying with his
wishes ! would often rush at him with a
stout stick in my hand only to have him
aughingly repel my attack; and these
affairs generally wound up by his giving
me a whack over the shoulders that near
ly broke me in two.

COTTOLENE.
A
Revolution
In Eating

has DeGH Drought ABOUT by the
introduction of CoTTOLENE, the
new vegetable shortening. The
discovery Of this product, and the
demonstration of its remarkable
qualities, has attracted the widest
interest. Hitherto the common
shortening has been lard, or
Indifferent butter. Every one has
probably suffered occasional dis
comfort from lard-cooked food;
while it is we'll known that thous-
ands are obliged to abstain entire
ly from everything of that kind.
To such people, CoTToLENE is of
peculiar value, widening as it
does, the range of what may be
eaten and enjoyed. CoTToLENE
is a cooking marvel. 1t confines
with the food-imparts to it a
tempting color, a delicate flavor,
and an appetizing crispness.
No trace of greasiness remains
to offend the taste, or disturb the
digestion.
CoTToLENE is worthy of the
careful notice of all those who
value good food, of itself or for
its hygienic properties.

New Name for Main Street.

The Times is satisfied with the venerable
hame "Main street" and opposes change.
There we differ.
On Sunday we shall publish several COM
munications on the subject. and in the end
we expect to WIN the battle; but we well
know that our people are slow to deter
mine on changes of this character and we
shall not be discouraged if we have to wait
q year or two for our day of triumph.
Meanwhile local campaign of educa-
ton is going on and Richmonders are
learning much that they never knew before
concerning 1.-The main street of the town" {;
which, Dy the way, We doubt not is one OF
the very Oldest highways in the United
States, for be 1t remembered that the set
Element at Jamestown preceded that at
Plymouth Rock by thirteen years and the
settlement "at the falles (Richmond)
was of nearly oven date with that at James
town.
There Is nothing very sacred i'll Main
street." and the question is whether we
cannot adopt a better name-one that
will be of greater historical signiii-
canoe; more appropriate to the streets sur
roundlngs. and more in harmony with the
present dignity of the city of Richmond.
In other words would not Colonial, Com
monwealth, Washington, Virginia, Com
merce. Central. or Battle avenue suit bet
ter than the present name:
We think So decidedly.

Cholera NJ Halle.

The winter has been about as rigorous in
Germany as 1t has been here. but notwith-
standing this cases OF cholera continue to
appear among the patients at the lunatic
asylum near Halle.
We have also reports of cases among
German peasants. who have shown their
amazing folly and recklessness by drinking
water from tho polluted river Saale. Here
after e. drink that water without first
boiling it Will be punishable offence.
This news goes to chow first that cold

extinguish cholera-eerms. and second that
the best medical authorities and most re-
nowned scientists of Germany are conf
dent that polluted water IL great dis
seminator n the disease.
These are matters for the minute con-
sideTation of experts. All that We want to
do il 20 keep the people we'll informed. so
that they may prepare now to assist the
authorities TO fight the cholera should 1t
reach our shores. We can talk plainly TO
and reason calmly with our people now.
but few months hence we may have to
he extra cautious about what we print on
this subject lest by some unguarded word
Of ours We should create unnecessary
alarm.

THURSDAY. JANUARY 26. 1893
Democratic DlninR.DaY.

A distinguished company OF Democrats
assembled at the Masonic Temple here yes
terday evening and tested the merits OF
Virginia menu. and over glasses of foreign
and domestic wine fought the presiden-
tial campaign over again.
so many men famous IN public life. In
the professions. IN the management OF
great industrial enterprises. and IN general
business affairs have not met at dinner
table in Richmond since the 22d OF Febru-
airy. 1858. when the President of the United
States and his Cabinet came here to attend
the unwilling Of the Washington Monu-
ment and banquet was spread IN their
honor in the post-ofice building. which
was then approaching completion.
In the beginning it was hoped that the
President-elect. though known to be in
the midst of important work, could be
here to receive in person the congratula-
tons of our people, but he promptly
stated that this would be quite impossible.
Yet the making of arrangements went on,
and many other gentlemen of distinction
accepted invitations TO be present.
The result was grand gathering. Few
OIL those VINO were tutrc Will over iOibes
1t. for it was memorable on account OF the
beautiful decorations of beautiful room;
tables artisticslly set and adorned and
richly laden; galleries filed with beautiful
women: speeches and letters that were
pithy and patriotic, and q display of feel
ing indicative of correct appreciation OF
the responsibilities put upon the Demo-
cratic party by the victory of the 9Th Of
November. Our victory was taken TO be
great personal success for Mr.. CLEVELAND
and monumental triumph for our party,
and the unanimous voice was that his arms
should be upheld by every loyal Demo-
crst.
As the hosts Of the occasion, we Rich
monders may not boast of the success OF
our enter tsinment, but if our guests have
as agreeable recollections of us as we
have of them. then 1t will be i'll order to
have such a reunion of kindred spirits
every time q Democratic President ls
elected, and we feel tempted TO move that
the elections hereafter be held annually in
stead of quadrennIally.
