being made when there is an oner from
the Traction Company TO transfer pas
sengers, and we only wish tnat tne COM
pany would go little further ana ohef
10 transfer cars. IL the two companies
would come 20 an agreement OF TINS char-
acter n Fulton car might run up Main
street 20 Harrison. Up Harrison to Broad,
and I'D Broad upon the tracks OF the
Traction Company 10 the Exposition
Grounds. or a Church Hill car might
puraue It's present route 10 the intersec-
ton OF Broad and Harrison streets and
thence proceed ION the Traction Com
pany's tracks, TO the Exposition Grounds.
OF course the old company would have
TO compensate the new company for the
use OF the new company's tracks. but we
should think that equitable terms might
be agreed upon. either in money payments
or service In kind.
II such a scheme as this could be ar
ranged, every car In Richmond might be
run 10 the Exposition Grounds, and there
would be none of the annoyances insep-
cradle from transfers. At best, transfers
are not pleasant; in such a busting ana
crowding as we shall have here at the
reunion they would be particularly dis
agreeable.
Understand us-we consider the transfer
offer a great advance upon any prop
osition yet made with the probability OF
success. but we think the public would
much prefer the transfer Of cars 10 tne
transfer OF passengers. BY the former
plan we should have 1.-TWO strings TO our
bow" and. moreover we would be able
TO use all OF the cars in the city to the
best possible advantage.
The Dispatch finds that the public is
deeply concerned In this matter. The sood
name of Richmond is involved. Never be-
fore have we undertaken a work OF such
magnitude. But If we can secure proper
cooperation, where cooperation might be
reasonably expected we shall get through
with it not merely successfully but tri-
umphantly.
We suppose that there viii be TWO
reunion meetings per day in the auui'o-
rum and the rush of the people 10 get
out there, and-worse still. the rush OF
the people to get back to the city-will
be beyond doubt very great.
Let the two companies come together
and agree upon scheme for running
their cars during the reunion, so that we
shall be able to get the very best service
that their joint resources are capable
Of The arrangement need last but three
DAYS. and in that time neither company
could be harmed very much, while the
public would be vastly benefited.
All contentious as to franchises may
very well be put aside until we have
arranged to do our duty as hosts. And
in this matter that company which shows
the strongest disposition to make sacri-
fees in the public interest will be the
company which will endear itself most TO
the right-thlnking people of this COM
munity.

ElOyd Notes,

FLOYD. VA, May 2.-(Speclal) REV.
w. w. Smith, Of Wytheville. an evange-
list, Is holding a meeting I'm the Baptist
church,here, and is preaching with great
earnestness.
Petitions for a local-option election are
circulating in all parts Of the county,
and II is expected that an election will
be held I'm every district at an early
date. There is not now a licensed bar
room in the county. The town Of Floyd
a short time since went dry by an over
whelming majority. and it is thought
the whole county will follow suit.

Stronger Than Many suppose.
Norfolk Landmark

The sentiment in Virginia against the
unit rule is a great deal stronger than
many suppose. II is much stronger than
the sound-money sentiment, which Is not
weak. To prove this Il is sufficient to
refer TO the action OF Halifax. GlOu-
cester, and King and Queen counties,
which. though emphatlcally in favor OF
free silver. are as emphatically opposed
to the adoption Of the unit rule in our
State convention. Senator Daniel, who
is the principal advocate Of the unit
rule in Virginia, is deservedly popular
throughout the State but we believe
that he has made a great mistake i'm his
attitude on this question. 1t is possible
for him to realize his error in time, and
we sincerely hope that he will do so.

The Dispatch recently published state
ment from the Washington Post, showing
that the indications were very favorable
to the opponents Of free coinage con-
trolling the National Democratic Con-
vention. Yesterdays Post. however quotes
Senator hin as saying that the matter OF
control of the convention will depend
upon a very narrow margin. In fact
he figures that the sixteen votes OF Ne
braska. one way or the other, may decide
the contest. Ks is well known. there Will
be two delegations from Nebraska" Sem
ator Hill puts Illinois down for silver
upon the advice of Senator Palmer, who
reluctantly admits that the silver-men
have the machinery Of the State" Hill
will 20 to the Chicago convention with
the New York delegation.
Per contra, Senator German, who
knows as much as anybody about the ac-
ton Of the Democratic party gives to MS
sound-money friends "the cheering as
surance that the national convention Will
be controlled by them, that a sound plat
form will be adopted, and a candidate
satisfactory to them will be nominated"
This we gather from a New York paper.
The latest advices from our party In
Illinois cause us TO fear that there will be
trouble there. In Chicago the Altgeld
wing of the party has caused a primary
election plan to be adopted which Is
very obnoxious to the other wing. There
fore, it would not surprise us If two con-
ventions were held in Illinois.
In administration circles ii is confidently
predicted that the majority in the Chi
cago convention will be against free sill
yer.

How the Ground Breathes,

French experimenters have lately
brought out interesting facts about the
circulation Of air in the soil. 1t ap-
pears that considerable oxygen is alb
sorbed by the roots of plants. and the
supply of this oxygen is maintained
by air penetrating through the minute
interstices of the soil. When the
ground is covered with water, or when
the molecules, or grains. of soil are dis
solved in water and packed into an i'm,
permeable mass, then air cannot cir
culate below the surface, and vcgeta-
ton suffers. The experiments referred
to show thai lime or salt in the soil
solidify the earthly molecules and pre-
vent their bein. dissolved and packed
by the action Of water; hence the i'm
portance of lime in keeping the ground
open and permeable for the circulation
of both air and rain-water.

When any Gne was to be gone ovel il
the birds best style of vituperation it
was the language of the Nile that was
adopted FOR the purpose. Pasha liked
America. and lived here fifteen years.
The bird was a good friend when ac-
qunintance was nee formed. but a cas-
ual visitor was his special aversion,
and he made use of the strongest notes
of disapproval when subjected to any
intrusion. His vocabulary was large.
and he knew how to use it as some PEG.

But he was so unfortunate as TO take
into close friendship a man of the lam

The Loving Gun.

One accoun of the origin of the low
ing cup runs as follows: King Henry
Of Navarro. while hunting. became sep
arated from his companions. and. feel
ing thirsty, called at a waySide inn for
a cup of wine. The serving maid. or
handing it to him as he sat on horse
back, neglected to present the handle.
Some wine was spilled over and his
maicSty'S white gauntletS We're Soiled.
While riding home, ne b%cthought him
that a two-handled cup would prevent
a recurrence of this disaster. so he had
a two-handled cup made at the royal
pO1tcrieS and sent it to the inn. On his
next visit he called again for Wine.
when. to his establishment. the maid
havinw received instructions from her
mistress to be very careful of the kings
| cup presented it to him. holding it her
self by each of its handles. At ono
| the happy idea struck the king of a cuD
with three handles. which was prompt
ly acted upon. as his majesty quantity
remarked, "Surely. out of three handles
I shall be able to get one!" Hence tho
loving cup.

satisfactory conclusion has eve been
arrived at we are unaware of the fact.
DR.. w. J. Burnett. formerly a member
of the Boston Society Of Natural His.
tory, says that there are good eason
for believing that the action Of the rat
tiers' virulent poison is the same upon
Al living things, vegetable as well as
animal. Other eminent na%turaliSts com
bat this theory and declare that the
idea of an animal poison killing or in
juring a vegetable is really preposter-
Gus. Burnett says: 1T is even just as
fatal to the snake itself as to other ami
mails" Then he relates the experience
of one DR.. bearing. The doctor had Il
specimen of the prolific rattler which he
kept alive in a Gag One day he irri-
tated the reptile so as to study the eff
feet of the anger thus provoked. The
snake struck wildly about a few times
and then buried it's fangs in it's own
body. Almost instantly, the expert
menter says, the reptile rolled over and
died. If this story is true, and we have
no reason to doubt the story, we see in
it the remarkable and unique p%hysiolog-
zeal fact Of a liquid secreted from the
blood which proves deadly when intro
duced into the very source from which
it is d~erived.-St. Louis Republic.

a Russian Artcl.

An artel is an association of persons
who agree to throw their lot together
and stand by each other for better or
for worse. If the artel is '~prOductive.'
the members work together and divide
equally what money they earn: if it is
''consumptivc," they share equally in
the expense incurred. The most mark
ed characteristic of these associations
is the perfect equality which prevails
among their members. No matter what
may lie IA mans personal gifts or def
cicncieS, from the moment he enters an
artel he is simply on a par with his
comrades. He must bear the burdens
they bear. and he receives the same re-
wards. In his turn he will be the ar
lehman. or chief OF his artel: in his turn.
too, he will be as newer of wood and
drawer of water. AS the former he will
be neither richer nor poorer than as the
latter. for the only emolument attached
| to the office of artclman is shoe money
that is. n small sun granted as a com
pcnSation for the shoes worn out while
tramping about t~ransacting official bus
mess.

Emin PaSha'S Parrot,

DR.. E. E. Snow. of Batavia, is mourn
ling the loss of the most remarkable pet
that has been brought to this part of
the country for a long time. 1t was a
parrot, and had a past as well as a won
.derful personality. When the doctor
was in Egypt in the days of Emin
Pasha he made the acquaintance Of
that %potentate, and on leaving for home
said he would like to take with him
.one of the small gray parrots that are
peculiar to the Nile country. especially
on account of their intelligence. SO
the viceroy sent out an attendant, who
soon returned with One 1t was called
Pasha, in honor of Enain. and was all
that has been reputed of its species.
Pasha could talk, and especially
