Richmond II Altar It,

The Post some days ago called atten-
ton to the rich. extensive section to the
northwest Of this city which could be
tapped and opened up by q fifty-mile
line Of railroad from this city. This was
part Of plan to build the Atlantic.
Staunton and Western railroad from
Fredericksburg or some other deep-water
terminal to Orange and on to connect
with this line from Staunton to High
land and the adjoining West Virginia
counties. As will be seen from this edi.
torial from the Richmond Dispatch of
Sunday that city IL casting wishful eyes
at this same territory. Undoubtedly the
people Of this region are going to have
railroad and transportation facilities and
an outlet to deep water. It remains sor
the people Of Staunton and the surround
ing section to say whether they will
sit supinely by and see this railroad ig-
more US. or whether they will exert them
selves to make this section tributary to
us.--Staunton Post.
Richmond In due time must have a
large trade In tho region which will be
opened to her as soon a. the Grafton
and 0reenbrier railroad shall have been
constructed. We give the above to re-
mind our readers once more that in com.
merciai matters. a. in politics. eternal
vigilance" II demanded.

Senator Patrick Walsh. Of Georgia. will
no sooner be seated In the United States
Senate than he will have to help to de-
eide whether the best interests OF the
country, demand that the Register OF
Deeds of the District Of Columbia should
be a white man or a colored man; also.
II he should be a colored man. whether
some one who has better record than
the rejected nominee for the Bolivian
mission cannot be persuaded to accept
the office.
Our understanding In that the pay OF
the Register. IN fees mostly. In larger
than the pay OF the Chief Justice OF the
United States.
We fancy that Mr.. Walsh has valuable
information az to the opinion OF the
people on this subject, and for our part
we should almost be willing to refer the
whole matter to him as committee Of
one, with power to act.

One OF our Georgia exchanges doubts
whether Mr.. Walsh is now protection
list Democrat. We suspect that he is as
much Of Protectionist as ever but
thinks it would be unwise TO differ with
his party on this one question. However,
seeing that he favors the free coinage OF
silver, Il is not impossible that he might

questions also.

''Fair-play men" was the title given
to a part Of Lycoming county, Ia,
now densely populated and dotted
with prosperous towns and cities The
proprietary government, with a view
to protecting Indians from intrusion,
had forbidden the survey and settle
ment of the region, but some hard
treated and hard handed Scotch-Irish
pioneers found their way into the for
hidden territory, and. being outside
the immediate jurisdiction Of any
properly constituted tribunal, they
chose three of their number to settle
disputes, and called them fair play
men. The decision Of this tribunal,
especially as to boundaries, were en-
forced by the whole com munity and
came in time 10 be respect I'd even by
the courts When a chief justice Of
Pennsylvania asked one Of the first
pioneers what were the features Of
the fair-play code, the pioneer is re-
ported to have answered that since
his honorss court had found its way
into the region fair play had fed and
law had taken its place.

PACKING TRUNKS FOR ALIvlNo

An Occupation Which Ought to suit
Women and Should Pay ia Season.
What is really a sensible occupa-
ton that could be managed from the
women's exchanges would be that Of
trunk packer. In these days of wide
spread summer travel, packing has
come to be a dreaded necessity with
women The difference between
skilled and unslilled trunk storing
cannot be fully appre ciated until the
two are compared. There is
economy in it that is obvious. 1t means
fewer trunks, less destruction to con-
tents and, above ALL the blissful
relief to bodies and brains taxed to
the last degree in leaving a house in
deserted summer trim. putting Fl nish-
ing touches to the family wardrobe,
looking after the comfort of those
to be left, and all the rest There
was woman who wrapped
a silk dress skirt last sumner around
jar of grandma's preserves, which
she could not resist attempting to
bring home with her, who would bet
ter have employed a professional
packer at 81 trunk The cleaners
bill was 81, and she lost the prese rves,
too. The occupation would not be so
laborious to the professional packer
it is to the amateur The con-
fidence of knowledge is a great relief
in itself, and the professional" would
insist upon the trunk being set upon :.
rest and all its intended contents
spread out before her, serious helps to
packing which the woman trying to
be in half dozen places at once on
packing day often ignores. Mean
time, if you must pack your own
trunks, dear sister, spike your hats
and bonnets to the trunk tray with
your hat pins, discard boxes, pack
bottles only in cork-lined cases that
come for the purpose, carrying them
in a separate bag otherwise and don't
pack on damp day near the window
or you'll find your beautifully starched
muslins and linens limp as rag when
they are taken out.

The Photograph OF the Fish Better
Than AmdaviA
In these days Of sophisticated adj
vancement no one believes "a fish
story unless the proofs are at hand.
Chicago artist who is much given
to angling makes periodical visits to
Wisconsin lakes and invariably brings
back large and terrifying yarns re-
garding his catch. Formerly one Of
his favorite yarns was that he pulled
out black bass that seemed to be
eighteen inches long, and Just a. he
was taking it in over the side of the
boat it got away from him.
One night at his club he related
how he and a man from Milwaukee
went out before breakfast and got
over 120 pounds of croppies-
what became of them?''
"Well, we ran out of ice and had to
give them away" which explanation
was greeted with derisive laughter.
He brought home once long pine
stick on which were two notches. in
dicating the length Of a pike taken
one evening just as the sun went
down, and which lasted the camp
three days.
Anybody can make a couple Of
notches in stick" said the skeptics.
1t is very trying. He would return
from an expedition full of enthusiasm
and large claims. only to meet some
alleged friend who would take him
aside and ask, seriously. "Now.
between you and me, did you catch
anything?v
Finally, driven to an extre nifty, he
adopted the scheme which gave him
reputation He painted on a screen
the picture of a small house, such as
may be found at any fishing camp.
Against this screen he would hang
a six-inch fish, the average size of his
catch, and would then take "a photo
graph Of the fish and the background.
According to the photograph the fish
would reach from the caves almost to
the ground. The length would be,
apparently, anywhere from four to
six feet.
When they boot at his claims and
discount his narratives he says:
Gentlemen, the camera tells no lies.
Here is a photograph of the monster,
the largest ever taken from the lake.
See for yourselves"

A novelty in the way Of triumphal
arches was seen when the govern or
general Of India visited Rangoon not
long back One structure, very hand
somely decorated to begin with was
still further enriched by being covered
with gold mohurs and real sovereigns
BILE coins in India-worth over
e5o. 600. each mohur being equal 70
fifteen rupees. The coins were stuck
TO the red cloth with a glue that had
been specially prepared for the pur-
nose. and was no doubt sufficiently
strong to keep the gold pieces quite
safe from any attempt to steal thenn-
