MIR. WALTER BEsANT, during his

Mr.. WALTER BEsANT, during his
stay in America, learned a fact or
two concerning the odoriferous onion,
which ne has recently made public
for the benefit of English girls In
general and ugly English girls In par
ticular. "If ugly girls, he remarks,
~will eat onions, they won't be ugly
any longer. Ugliness is often the re-
suit of bad health alone. Health Is
beautiful and onions are health
giving" They brighten the complex
ion, and consequently tighten the
feminine heart AIN America" says
the famous author, some OF the best
people, particularly in literary and
academic circles, are not at home
even to their most intimate friends
on Sunday" They devote that day
to the consumption OF the leek. Here
is a grand new feminine excuse. The
everlasting but convenient headache
may now yield to the health-giving
onion.

Joked at a Menace.

During the year 1883, threatening
letters were sent to many public men
in England. Among others, Lord
Salisbury received a letter from the
Chief Constable of Hertfordshire, in
forming him that his life and that Of
the late Mr.. Smith, First Lord of the
Admiralty, were to be attempted the
following Monday. This letter Lord
Salisbury sent to Mr.. Smith, with
the accompanying grimly comical lit
tie note: "MY DEAR SMITH: The

ONE of the sights Of China is the
antique bridge Of Suen-tchen-fow,
$500 feet long and 20 feet wide. 1t
has on each side fifty-two piers, upon
which huge stones are laid, some Of
them twenty feet long. Many thou
sand tons of stone were used in the
erection of this wonderful bridge,
which is regarded by engineers as in
dicating constructive talent as won
derful as that which raised the Egyp-

A Neat Reply.

One of the anecdotes told Of Ben
jamin Franklin's youth is in connec-
tion with his visit to London when
- years old. He was in search OF
work, and, having learned the print
er's trade, went straight to a print
ing Office and made known his errand.
The foreman was rather supercilious,
and said: "Ah, lad from America
seeking employment as a printer
Well, do you really understand the
art of printing? Can you set type?"
Young Franklin stepped to one Of
the cases and in brief space set up
these words from the first chapter Of
Johns gospel: Nathaniel said unto
him, Can any good thing come oIt Of
Nazareth? Philip saith unto him,
Come and see." The text conveyed
such a delicate rebuke, and the work
was done so quickly and accurately,
that position was granted him at
once. Western Christian Advocate.

RICHMOND, April 26.-rhe game Of
ball between the Richmond and Roa-
noke teams to-day, in baseball parlance,
might be called a Chinese game. The
homo toan had a walkover from the
very first Scoring twelve runs in the
firss inning, they got tho visitors we'll
ratified, and 1t was just as easy as rolling
of log to score. When the game was
called after the ninth inning the Rich
monds had sent twenty-five men over
the plate and only six of the Southwest
eruers had come to the haven.
The crowd was considerably smaller
than usual, the election probably de-
tanning number of the cranks who
would otherwise have occupied seats on
the bleschers. Those who were presen t
however, had ample opportunity to ex-
ercise their lung power, and many were
the cat calls and "roas,s" to be heard on
all sides.
The game on the whole, notwithstand-
ing the multiplicity of runs scored, was
an enjoyable one. From q scientific
standpoint, however, it was rocky-ex-
ceedingly 80. There were some excel
lent plays. Probably one of the pref
tsest left hand running catches that has
ever been seen on Richmond diamond
was made by Tim West in tho ffsh in
ming.
Mccoy, who pitched the FIRST four in
nings for the visi :ors, went to pieces At
tho beginning and was as easy to hit as
the side Of barn door. During his
stay in the box the ousfelders were
keeps busy chasing after the |, atner.
Holbrook was substituted for him in
the fifth inning, but too late to retrieve
the game. Following is the score:

AN UNDERSTANDING REACHED.

Such Amendments to the Tariff Bill VIII
BE Made to Secure United Support.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-The Demo
cratic mem bers OF tho Senate finance
committee 10 night believe they have
finally reached an understanding with
the conservatives whereby they will be
able to make such amendments to the
pending tariff bill as will draw to 1t the
united support OF the party and enable
them to pass the measure by the early
part of June.
It Ia understood that as soon as the
Republicans are convinced that the ma
jority has solidifled they will close de-
bate on their part and permit the bill to
come to q final vote.
The income tax will be amended by
making that tax operative for fixed
term OF years. probably not more than
five. 1t is not improbable that the limit
of exemption may be reduc ID TO some
thing below $4,000 Many of the in.
qulsitorial features will also be ex.
plunged and tho manner of collecting
the tax sim plified.
1t Ia also known that the sugar
schedule will be changed from specific
10 an ad valorem duty and that it will
be fixed al 40 per cent ad valorem on all
sugars and 80 additional on all refined
sugars.
Coal, iron ore and lead ore will re-
main the same a few OF the industries
of New York and New Jersey will also
be given slight increase in the rates
now imposed by the bill.

THE UNION MEETINGS.
The Overflow Accommodated at

The union evangelical meetings con-
tinue to excite great interest and last
night was no exception to the rule.
The First Presbyterian Church was
packed, even the aisles being occupied,
at least twenty minutes before the hour
1or services to begin last night. The
overflow meeting was held at the
Fourth Avenue Christian Church, which
was also comfortably filed, where an
excellent sermon was preached by Rev
Charles s. Stanton, pastor of Trinity
Methodist Church.
The exercises at the PRESBYTERIAN
church were commenced by the choir
singing, MY Faith Looks UP to Thee"
aad prayer by Rev. M. "a. Wilson,
Church.
Rev. w. T. Hammer read the evening
lesson and Rev. Dr. w. G. Campbell
offered q fervent prayer. While the
ushers were taking up the evening COL
lection f.r current expenses Miss
Cutchin sang, "Oh, What Shall the
Harvest Be?" with much power and
sweetness.
The sermon was by Rev. H. Carl
son, OF the Christian Church, who M ade

he also reap. For he that soweth to his
nesh shall Of the flesh reap corruption,
but he that soweth to the spirit shall Of
the spirit reap life everlasting."- Gal
lattns, 6, and 8.
The whole sermon was a powerful
exposition of the supremacy of the soul
over the body, and Of the Importance of
spiritual matters over temporal affairs
and an appeal to his hearers TO flee
from the wrath to come. A large num-
Der OF those present remained during
the after meeting and conversed and
prayed with the pastors

far, and are pleased with the progress
made.
