The records of your office. the journals
Of the House of Representatives and
Senate concusively prove this debt is
due and should be paid, and the only
open question Is, What is the true bal
ance?
For forty-four years this Common
wealth. by Representatives, Senator's, and
special agents" has demanded payment
again and again. Bills to pay her have
passed the House of Representatives at
one time and the Senate at another, but
failed to become laws. Massachusetts,
and Maryland have been paid the adj
vances made by them. Virginia was as
patriotic and more liberal. In 1884 she
gave To the United States the northwest
territory" and out OF this magnificent
domain the States Of Ohio Illinois. In
diana, Michigan, and Wisconsin were
formed In 1890, by an act of her Legis-
lature, she advanced to the then needy
and struggling republic $4,000 TO aid in
building the Capitol at Washington, and
there is no reason in law or justice why
the terms Of settlement made with these
Commonwealths should not be given her.
Apply them and, as Is evidenced by a
statement in my possession made up by
your department and attested by Hon.
George S. Boutwell, then Secretary OF
the Treasury, there was due TO Virginia
on the lst day OF January, 1893, the prtn-
cipal SUM Of 3i2. 494
To this add interest to the LIST day OF
January, 1884, the day the registered bonds
became due. and on that day the United
States was indebted to the Commonwealth
of Virginia 81. 596. O22.04 a sum more than
sufficient to pay the bonds.

Miss Ansell is said to be one of the most
winning and beautiful Of the younger ac-
tresses Of the natural school" in England.
She has been on the stage about two years,
and her youth, beauty and unquestioned
talent have won for her a high place ON
the English stage. Her first appearance
was with William Terriss in "Harbor
Lights" after which she began a tour
with her own company in THE Love

res Curious Formation In che Eusi Rags Of

oSuAy SUM-
Two solid bodies, one yellow, sulphur,
the other black, carbon. unite under Ger.
tain circumstances to form colorless
liquid called sulphide of carbon, which
must be handled with much precaution
ON account Of its great explosive prop
erty. The soluble property of sulphide
Of carbon renders it valuable to take
spots Off of garments II its odor is
more disagreeable than that of benxine
or turpentine, it has at least the advan.
tage Of being dispelled quickly in conse-
quence Of the prompt evaporation Of the
liquid There il nothing equal to 1t to
take off spots Of paint ON clothes. It
does not do it, however, without Great.
ing great fear In persons who use 1t for
the first time, for they see ON the very
place where, to their great pleasure, the
paint had disappeared large white
spot, the nature Of which is hard for
them to define. and the more they brush
the more unsightly and the larger that
white spot grows Is then the garment
lost? No, for fortunately after few
moments the spot nielts away never to
show again. 1t was snow and nothing
more The sulphide Of carbon in evapo-
rating takes heat from the cloth and
surrounding air, and the result Of that
is asudden lowering Of temperature suf.
ficient to freeze the vapor Of the atmos-
phere.
Without operating on your clothes
You may make the experiment in the
following way: Fill small vial with
sulphide Of carbon, taking great care to
do it far from all fame or heated stove
Then close the bottle with a cork stopper
through which you have previously bored
small hole In this hole place a piece
of blotting paper made up into a small
roll The paper must reach to the bot
tom of the bottle and about an inch
above the cork Within i5 minutes you
will see the outside Of this paper cover
ed with snow. the quantity of which
gradually increases The liquid has risen
through the pores Of the paper as the oil
Of lamp through the wick When it
gets to the open air, IL evaporates, and
the water contained in the surrounding
atmosphere, being brought to temper
ature below 32 degrees, has been frozen.
II You divide the paper outside Of the
bottle into several pieces, you obtain
flowers and most charming effects You
may make the experiment in summer
and in the full rays Of the sun The re-
suit will be obtained then more prompt
", evaporation being more abundant. -
