Pocahontas. /. wal reported that the
guard at the Browning mine had been
fred at Eve times yesterday evening;
but tho ehcts were in all probability
intended more to in.imidate than to
injure. The mines at Pocahcntas had
more men at work yesterday than on
the day previous and the Southwest
Company expects to have 800 new men
there by Friday to take the places Of
those who have quit work.
This will of course call for the pres-
ence of troops at Pocahontas for several
days longer, or possibly for On indefin-
lite period. Business men OF Pocahontas
object to the strict guard around the
town; but as Governor McCorkle has re-
fusedsto allow Virginia troops to cross
the line into West Virginia, this pre-.
caution may be deemed necessary by the
officer in command to prevent surprise.
The fact that soldier had to use his
bayonet Tuesday night to keep horse
men. with Wholesalers, from riding
into Pocahontas, is not pleasant feas
ture OF the situation, and though 1t may
not mean danger, shows with the other
incident related that the soldiers have
anything but pleasant duties to per-
form.
They have, however, enlisted in the
service OF the State, and their duty ia
to obey without question the orders OF
those in authority over them. That they
will do this under all circumstances, no
one who knows the spirit and pluck OF
Virginia soldiers doubts for q moment.
1t is hoped, however, that the occasion
for display OF these qualities will not
arise and that matters will soon be so
amicable at Pocshontas that the pres
ence OF troops there will be deemed no
longer necessary.

run away with his Judgment and good
behavior, as such conduct not only re-
fleets on the game, but will in the end
seriously affect the gate receipts.

to advices received by DR.. Guznsn, the
N.caraguan minister. A dispatch from
his government informs him that there
is quiet throughout the country. The
departure of the British feet and the
salute given to the Nicaraguan flag are
regarded as the steps which have
restored tranquility. No further inter-
nal disco'd is expected in the near
future. but those acquainted with the
character of the people do not believe
they will be quiet long.

The sensational appearance ofO'Dono-
van Rosa, the Irish agitator OF New
York, in the British house Of commons
yesterday, is another illustration of how
far in folly the love OF notoriety NAV
carry its votaries. 1t was cabled
across the water yesterday that Rossa
had risen in the strangers gallery in
the house Of commons and cried out ex.
citedly that on asssssin's blow had been
aimed at him there and q stain nut
upon his name. This created great
confusion and resulted in Rossa's expul.
sion from the house, with the warning
not to show his face there again. On
investigating the incident, 1t was ascers
tanned that speaker who did not know
Rosa WAS in the house had alluded to
him in uncomplimentary terms, and
this was the cause Of his protest from
the gallery. But this morning Rosa.
who has long since ceased to occupy the
public mind. is again talked about in
Europe and America-and this is
enough for him.
