A SHORT SESSION
Predicted for Congress for the De-
 cember Term.

C9mOer loFms
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-Senator Bur- rows. of Michigan, is in Washington. He says that he is inclined to think that there will be short session of congress this winter. He does not see how anything in the way of legislation, such as the Republicans would enact, can be made into law, and he thinks that the best thing IS to dispose Of the appropriation bills and such other plain business matters as can be attended to and then adjourn.
 The house might pass a protective tariff bill, but the chances are it could not be got through the senate without silver being tied onto it, and it could not get the approval of the president anyhow. He therefore does not think that anv snch legislation wonld be at- tempted. Nor did he think that the re- tire ment oi the greenbscks can be se cured st this session.

It became known yester- day that the Prussian government had withdrawn the concessions granted to the New York Life Insurance com pany in June, 1882, and that the con- pany would be compelled to stop do- ing business in Prussia on November 1. George W. Perkins, third vice-presi- dent of the company, says:

virginia Fairy stones.

Patrick county, Va, is becoming cele-
brated for the wonderful little fairy
stones" found there. A correspondent Of
the Danville Register, writing from
Stuart. says that nearly every citizen of
that toxin who wears a watch has a
fairy stone attached to his chain. On
every stone there is a cross; on some
there are two crosses-one Roman, the
other Maltese. And the strangest part
OF the story Is that no two are alike.
Nature seems to have tried her hand at
variety on these curious little stones, as
she has on the leaves Of the Otaheite
mulberry-tree.
This correspondent also declares that
these fairy stones are found nowhere
else than in Patrick county. About this
We are not quite sure; but 1t Is certain
that these stones have become known
to the principal jewellers in all OF our
great cities, and are now in much de-
mand, especially for charms for watch
chains They are found in fields scat
tered here and there.

MIR. Dana's Wit.

Surely the New York Suns reader on
the subject Of the so-caled debate be-
tween Harvey and Horn must have been
written by MIR. Dana himself. Here is
a specimen Of IL:
mir. Harvey seems to be the typical
silver crank, stark raving crazy, and Mr..
Horr has little more sense OF humor
Than a hen. IL one man had delivered
his series OF addresses to photograph
in Cicero, and the other to teiephons
I'm East Saginaw. there would have been
Just as much and as little OF debate.
Some hater Of his race has had the
stun reported and copyrighted. and will
carpet the country with IL.
''The silver question has been talked
to death. Great argument about II has
been made, and on the whole. there have
been sixteen portions OF rant 10 one por-
ton OF argument. The people In Mfsss-
sippi and Georgia seem still capable OF
working themselves into a heat about II,
but most of the rest OF the country Is
very tired Of IT, IL Is settled already,
settled In accordance with commoo
sense
The Sun jokes Of course when 1t says
that the silver question Is settled.

Their advance in price Is also douo'''s'

Z, the land assessments of Virginia Is
not nearly so great as 1t was feareo 'N"'
It would be.
So far. the average reduction is put
little more than per cent. III is quI'e
nossihle that appeals 20 the courts oS
,ax-novers will increase this percentage
somewhat. Yet, while there Will pc ne
cessity for economizing the eNpenii'ui'S
Of our state government the abill'y VI

new bonds will not be questioned 10y any
one--oer,ainly not during the per cent
period-and by the time that the per

will doubtless be much greater than 'h'S
are now. Several Of our virginia clUe9
are rapidly increasing in wealth A"e''S
by far the greater part of the anhuai re-
CENTS Of the state Treasury come from
our cities and towns. It is very far from
being n fact-though often so represented
that the bulk Of state taxation comes
from agricultural lands.
we think that those who have been agi-
Eating the question OF vote on the caH-i
ing OF a constitutional convention ought
TO have some credit for the smsiiness OF
the reduction in land assessments. HOW
Why? In this way: Had there been
Is or % per cent. decrease the demand lot
a convention TO reduce our State expenses
would have been instantaneous and IRE
sistible. II required 10 seer TO perceive
this.
In many of the counties there are inhu-
entail men, opponents Of convention
who saw what would be the ineviaoie
result of n great tumble In land assess
ments. and whose influence was exerted
against the reckless cutting down OF as
sessed values. See?
In like manner, we think that the agita-
ton Of the constitutional convention
question has done much to add to the
acceptability Of the Walton election-law'
Had the election-law failed to work WELL
many who are now opposed TO a conven-
ton would favor a convention to secure
some modification of the constitutional
provision with respect to the elecuNe
franchise. And so it comes about mat
not a few who were at first lukewarm
supporters of the Walton law, Afterwards
(when the convention was discusseD De-
came very friendly to it.
So. we think that the discussion 81 the
convention question has already done
great good. and we believe that the con-
vention itself will come in due time-a
matter which may be safely left 10 the
wisdom and discretion Of the Democratic
members Of the General Assembly.

Site of the Garden of Eden.

The Garden Of Eden was not in the
neishborhood Of the Pamirs, not in Mes
opotamia. not in Northeastern Siberia,
not in Wales. not anywhere else on the
other side Of the water that scholars ana
local pride have heretofore tried to locate
it. 1t was in Yucatan.
Dr. A. lie Plongeon, who has been prowi-
ing around in the ruins of the buried cities
of Central America, is authority for THIS
statement. He has found in Yucca
tan he saws. the tomb Of Abel. and pro-
duces what to him is satisfactory topo-
graphical, pathological, photographic, and
other evidence that the tomb is genuine,
and that the site of the garden is not
far off. OF course the location of Abefs
tomb. would in itself, establish the prox-
unity of the garden, and the wonder Is
that DR.. A. lie Plongeon should have lost
sight of the strongest of all the evidences
that Abel lived and was killed in Yucatan.
We refer TO the evidence Of hereditary
tendency.
The killing Of Abel is the first recorded
instance of a mans clubbing his brother
TO death. From the beginning of Central
American history TO the present time,
the pet diversion OF Central American
brethren has been the killing of one
another.

A silk gown will be more OF luxury
next winter than 1t has been Tor seNeia'
years. We learn from the New York sun
that there has already been great ad-
vance in the price of raw SILK and th"t
the increased value will reflect upon retah
prices this coming fall and winter. The
popularity Of silk waists with enormous
pulled silk sleeves silk underclothes, ana
silk pottlcoats during the past two years
has created a demand for silk that has
been Unprecedented in the memory OF ths
Oldest dry-goods dealer. SILK goods nave
been as cheap as woollen goods, and, in
anticipation of a continued demand, the
importers have raised the price OF raw
silk
