DISTEUPER IUONG FOXES.
Some Opinions on Oyster Culture and
Oyster Laws.


MATHEWS. VA Feb. q Special
The thermometer registered about ~ de-
prees above zero during the late cold
spell, and those Of our shippers VINO
were so fortunate as TO have gotten oys-
tcrs TO market in time Tor TINS spell OF
weather reaped golden harvest
Fox hunters here report distemper
among the foxes. Several have been
found dead in the woods, ana others
that were too sick 10 run well have fallen
easy prey TO the dogs.
Several weeks ago Mr.. John a. Fleet.
of this county, shot a large one IN ms
yard in the day time. II had been fOlnd
disturbing the cattle I'm the barn yard on
a previous night but escaped under the
barn at the approach Of Mr.. Fleet, ana
Il had evidently been lettering about the
premises several days. either made D0lu
by hunger or mad by distemrtr.
The dumb oyster" like those OF the
human species similarly affected at me
stanton institute, IS sbll prouhc
source of discussion among those VINO can
talk There are many sun conttnulnB
that the hand of the planter should De
STAYED in his encrOachlnent upon ult
public bottoms OF the Commonwealth GOT
TO express the term more apuy IN tius
case, the common wealth., upon ~nlch
the tonger tolls for bis hVing; ana iIhS
sentiment seems 10 be growing IN in1
convictions of many OF our thoughtiui
and conservative citizens.
Indeed, there are not rev VINO pc
lievc that some cases OF glazing aggres-
sion I'm the past should be reviewed ana
corrected. as well as future encroach-
ment prevented.
And fl is also believed by some that
the oyster navy" has about outlVed JUS
usefulness. and that IL il now little more
than an excuse for high taxation TO main
tain IL. Certainly the force could pe
greatly reduced, and the present enor-
NOUS expense much curtailed. If the
whole affair be not entirely done away
with.
The ordinary officials of the counties
are now sufficient TO enforce the oyster
law. as wen as the other laws OF the
State: md in occasional extreme cases
il woul be far cheaper 10 charter a
steamer or vessel for a limited period. as
has been done 10 good advantage ana
effect in the past. than to maintain the
present costly establishment all the time

OF the gold mines OF this county, much in
the same way as they are doing with
those of Buckingham county.
Before the war. and even after H. the
gold mines Of Spotsylvania were cele-

was expended upon them 10 make them
profitable. To-day. however. they stand
good chance OF development.
Your correspondent hopes in a few

and possibilities OF all these mines. Much

A Thriftlcss Genius.

Leigh Hunt had no sense either OF
time or of money! grave fault, per-
haps an objectionable vice, in a man
who had wife and children depending
upon him. AS long as he lived he was
thriftless and needy, lender and
borrower, so generous that he could
never afford to be just, bringing upon
those whom he loved sincerely a COLI
slant burden of debt and care. How
reprehensible this was he seems never
to have felt Though he blames himself
freely and light heartedly), and If the
reader of his autobiography is disposed
to feel sorry for Mrs. Hunt it is not
because her husband sets him the ex-
ample. This was Leigh Hunts one
vice, never amended or actively re-
pented of. Yet he had had his warning.
It is pathetic to compare with each
other the two following passages and
to see how clearly Leigh Hunt foresaw
his danger and how incapable he proved
of escaping it:
81 have seen, "he writes in 1903, $50
much of the irritabilities, or rather the
miseries, accruing from want of suit
able income, and the best woman Of her
time was so worried and finally worn
out with the early negligence of others
in this respect, that if ever was deter
mined in anything it is to be perfectly
clear of the world and ready to meet the
exigencies Of married life before do
marry, for will not see a wife who
loves me and is the comfort of my ex-
istence afraid to speak to me Of money
matters. She shall never tremble to
hear a knock at the door or to meet a
quarter day. &"
And in 1882:
81 never hear knock at the door
but think somebody is coming to take
me away from my family. Last Friday
I was sitting down to dinner when l
was called away by q man who brought
an execution into my house for 40 shil-
lings. Temple Bar

Some Resorms Necessary.

The beautiful girl spurned his proffer-
red love.
"But why ara I SO hateful to you?''
he asked.
"You are not hateful to me-" she re-
piled. There is simply nothing about
you to attract girl of my nature. The
man who marries me must show his
love of making sacrifices for me. -
ct will make any that you may ask, "
he pleaded.
She merely laughed at him.
1.-THE man who would have my love
must reform for my sake, " she said.
"But what have / to reform?" he
asked.
Nothing" she answered promptly.

King aIenelek's Independence.

The pope's influence has failed to Sc
cure the release of the Italian prisoners
in Abyssinia 1t is said that his shrewd
councillors disapproved an attempt so
little likely to succeed at & time when
his holiness cannot afford to risk the
papal prestige, but % generous pity over
came their reasoned objections. AS If
to emphasize the refusal, Menelek has
set free g. officers and men of his own
accord. They report that the Abysslnlan
monarch is not such O barbarian as IS
commonly supposed. He reads the lead
ing Italian journals through an inter
prefer. 1t is well for the prisoners that
he cannot understand them himself.
Menelek desires to make himself equal
to the European sovereigns, and this
fact represents progress, for all his pre-
decessors firmly believed themselves to
be already equal or superior. The Itai-
ian officers are frequently questioned
about the manners and customs of roy
atty in Europe. His queen actually
wears dresses from Paris and stockings,
shoes, ETC.
Many French families are settled at
and near Entotto, where the regus has
a palace, and they supply these articles,
One would like to know what the prlS-
oners mean exactly by many. 1t may
be credited, however, that Abyssinia IS
