Produce of Fractions of Penny.

The old lesson as to little drops OF
water, little grains of sand" making
the universe has had one more exempli-
fication. 1t Is the custom of the Bank
of England not to pay fractions of a
penny. In the case of dividends on
government stock these fractions have
in the course of years amounted 70
one hundred and forty thousand
pounds, which amount, it is stated, was
a few years ago paid over to the chan
cellor of the exchequer.

Eff. Cleveland and a Third Term.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-When seen
this morning relative to statement
published in morning newspaper, in
this city, stating that President Grover
Cleveland would never consent to
stand for third term. Mr.. E. G. Bene-
dict, who was authority for the state
ment, said that in part the statement
was true, but in certain places it was
made too strong. 81 am not positive
that he would not consent to
run for third term. I am positive
OF nothing save death and taxes. All
that I have said or can say in reference
to President Cleveland's views as to
third term is inferential. I infer from
what he has repeatedly said that he is
impatient to be rid of all official cares
and unwilling to have them prolonged
under any circumstances"

The. PERSISTENT and vehement as
saults of a newspaper in Washington
upon Ale1andria county and its affairs
would be ridiculous if they were not
nauseating. Its latest objects of attack
are the Judge and the prosecuting at
torney of the county in respect of their
action in the late gambling cases there.
The offenders in those cases were tried
snd punished according to law. Their
ofense could not, under the laws of
Virginia, have been punished by con-
finement in the penitentiary. Fine and
Jail were the extent, and both have
been inflicted, though had trials been
gone into. it is doubtful if convictions
could have been obtained in all the
cases. Then, too. both the Judge and
the attorney started out to break up
gambling in Alexandria county, and
nobody denies that that object hiss been
achieved.

Mr.. ELLINGER, in a communication
to the GAZETTE, says the cause OF the
great injury the oyster interest OF Vir-
ginia has sustained, is the fact that
her legislation in respect of that inter.
est has been left solely to the members
OF thelegislsture from the oyster section
of the State, who depend upon the
oys.ermen for their election. What he
says is eminently true, but what
patent illustration it affords of the in
furious effect OF unrestricted suffrage.
For seasons gain, the oystermen
would ruin an industry that properly
conducted would supply them with
meat and bread through all their lives,
sn1 the men they elect TO the legisla-
lure, il order to retain their votes, assist
them to destroy their own means OF
livelihood.

THE RECENT STORMS.

As stated yesterday great blizzard
struck the West on Monday midnight,
destroying shipping, topping over
buildings aud causing great destruc-
ton of life. 1t covered the States of
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio,
and followed the course of the great
lakes. In Michigan, Illinois, Missouri,
Arkansas and northern Texas yester-
day warm rain showers were followed
rapidly by q blizzard. Snow blocked
the railroads, and sleet and ice broke
down Geographic wires in every direc-
ton. For hours communication be-
tween Chicago and eastern points was
cut oil. On Lake Michigan the storm
was terrific, and it is feared that lives
have been lost and many small vessels
swamped. Even the big whaleback.
steamers bad great difficulty in wealth
ering the fearful wind and waves. The
storm swept down the Ohio river, car
rying nearly everything before it.
Steamboats, were blown from their
moorings at Cincinnati and jammed to-
gether. Many buildings were unroofed
in Cincinnati, Detroit, Cleveland and
other cities.
The passenger station at Terra Alta,
on the Cincinnati, Lebanon and North
ern railroad, was lifted from its founde-
ton and carried some distance away
and wrecked.
Last nights report of the Weather
Bureau told this story of the early
winter blizzard, recounting the doings
of yesterday:
The storm which was central in the
lower Ohio Valley on Monday night
has moved rapidly northeastward
over the lake region, and has
disappeared to the north of the st.
Lawrence valley. The gales attending
this storm in the lake region were
unusually severe, especially over Lakes
Erie and Ontario. Heavy SHOWS, fol-
lowed by clearing weather, occurred in
the States north OF the Ohio river.
Heavy rains prevailed yesterday
along the Atlantic coast and continued
in New England. The weather is now
clear throughout the southern States
aud central valleys and thence west
ward to the Rocky Mountains.
1t Is much colder from the Lake
region southwark to the Gulf coast. 1t
is warmer in New England and west of
the Mississippi. Much colder fair
weather will prevail on the Atlantic
coast from New England southwark to
Florida. The temperature will rise
slowly in the central valleys, with fair
weather.
To this the local foreeaster added
that moderate cold wave would pre-
vail to-day in this section, and that be
fore night the freeing point Honld be
reached.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. NOV. 27. 1895.
IF TBE members of the Virginia ley

FTKE members of the Virginia Leg
islature have obtained their knowledge
of the race course on Alexander's ISL
and from the newspapers of Richmond,
they have been egregiously deceived,
as those papers associate that course
with the unsavory settlement at Jack
son City, nearly a mile of, and with
the gambling and drinking resorts near
Rosslyn, which is four miles away, and
state that its owners are Northern
outlaws and that the races on it
are swirdles, though the truth
is that the proprietors are native
and law-abiding Virgihians. and
that the races there, according to
reputable and reliable Virginia race
horse people who have witnessed them,
are as fair as those on any other track
in the country. Even a committee OF
the Washington board of trade who
visited the track could find nothing 10
complain of, and some of them picked
out the winning horses. Every thing
about the track is conducted in strict
accordance with its charter-derived
from the State, and though Virginia
and Washington officers of the law and
detectives have frequently visited 1T,
none of them hes ever found any thing
to which exception could be taken. To
show that stable owners have nothing
to complain of there, is proved by the
fact that they keep their horses there
and bring them there from other
tracks, and run them by hundreds; and
that old and experienced bettors don't
think they are swindled there, is de-
monstrated by their presence there in
large numbers every fair day. Then,
too, it must not be forgotten, that as
the proprietors of the track are pos
sessed of plain, common sense, and con-
duct their course as all other kinds OF
business are conducted, for profitable
purposes, their main object is to make
their track attractive and popular, SO
that the number of spectators may be
as large as possible, as the more people
there, the larger the gate receipts and
the more books, and that, therefore,
now, as in the past, they have not only
preserved strict order and good be-
havior within, and exclude objection
able persons from, their boundaries,
but have done every thing that lay in
their power to keep their en-
tire neighborhood clear of such
persons, and would have succeeded
if the majority of the voters OF
the county, who are negroes. could
have been induced to elect proper
county officers. But it is hardly proba.
Bile that the Richmond newspapers will
correct their grossly incorrect state
ments in respect of this matter. If the
subject of the Grange Camp charter be
brought before the legislature, the fact
that while the Richmond newspapers
denounce the Alexapder's Island track,
they studiously refrain from any men
ton OF the St. Asaph track, few
miles off, will probably be brought to
the attention of the members.

CONGRESSMAN HYDE of the State of
Washington says he would love to en-
list as private soldier again and fight
against England. There is no likelihood
of war with England, but if there
should be, Judging from the action of
the professed lovers of war before 1861,
after that war commenced, Mr.. Hyde's
love would probably abate at the be-
ginning of hostilities.
