CONTEMPORARY OPINION.

THE CAPTURE OF RICHMOND.
General Grant had become very tired
of discussing methods of warfare which
were like some of the problems de-
scribed in algebra as more curious
than useful, and he was not sufficient
ly interested in the canal to be present
at the explosion which was expected to
complete it. About this time all the
cIanls in the country, besides men of
real inventive genius, were sending ex-
traordina1y plans and suggestions for
capturing Richmond. "A proposition
from an engineer was received one day,
accompanied by elaborate drawings
and calculations. which had evidently
involved intense labor on THE part of
the author. His plan was to build a
masonry wall around Richmond, of an
elevation higher than the tallest houses.
then to FIJI the enclosure with water
pumped from the James river, and
drown out the garrison and people like
pumps required and their capacity had
been figured out to a nicety.
Another inventive genius, whose
mind seemed to run in the direction of
the science of chemistry and the prac-
formula for making an all-powerful
snuff. In his communication he as
sured the commanding general that af-
ter a series of experiments he had
made with it on people and animals, he
was sure that if shells were filled with
it and exploded within the enemy's
lines the troops would be seized with
such violent fits OF sneezing that they
nh,
ed with Che effort, and the Union army
could walk over at its leisure and pick
them up as prisoners without itself los
ing a man.
A certain officer had figured out
from statistics that the James river
froze over about once in seven years,
and that this was the seventh year, and
advised that troops be massed in such a
position that when the upper part of
the James changed from a liquid to a
solid, columns could be rushed across
it on the ice to a position in rear of
the enemy's lines, and Richmond would
be at our mercy. A sOrcerer in ROches-
ter sent the general word that he had
cast his horoscope, and gave him a
clear and unclouded insight into his fu-
ture. and added to its general attrac-
tiveness by telling him how gloriously
he was going to succeed in taking Rich
mon.
One evening the general referred to
these emanations of the prolific brains
of our people. and the many novel sug-
gestions made to him, beginning with
the famous powder boat sent against
Fort Fisher. and closed the conversation
Il by saying: This is a very suggestive
age. Some people seem. to think that
an army can be whipped by waiting
for rivers to freeze over, exploding pow
der at a distance, drowning out troops
or setting them to sneezing; but it viii
i always he found in the end that the
only way to whip an army is to 80 out
and fight Century.

everyone was at church, but these two

they could hear the good preaching for
their house was next door to the
church.
In some way while Willie was listen

he went to sleep to stay, and did not
mind trifles. SO Dan sat down with
the funniest look of care on his wise.

legs. with his forepaws dropping close
beside the minister, who did not see
him, but the congregation did. When
the minister shouted Daniel" again
the sharp barks said yes, sir" as
plainly as Dan could answer.
The minister started back, looked
around. and saw the funny little pic

do next, but just then through the
vestry came Willie. His face was rosy
from sleeep, and he looked a littl,

INDUSTRIAL GRIEVANCES.

A gratifying feature of the great
strike i'm the coal regions is the alb
sence of violence and the care exercised
by the strikers from doing anything
that would bring them into conflict
with the officers of the law. This is a
direct result Of the experiences in past
strikes particularly the Homestead al
fair in 1892, and the one engineered by
Debs three years ago. Heretofore viO-
lence followed almost upon the heels OF
a walk-out Strikers assumed that they
had a legal right and moral right to
prevent others from taking their
places or from continuing to work
when others had ordered them to quit
Violence once started on this basis
soon developed into riot and destruo-
tion CT property.
The error of this assumption has
been thoroughly exposed, and neither
the moral nor legal right to interfere
with a man at work is now claimed ol
admitted Further than this, strikers
have learned that violence breeds riot
that riot brings the officers of the law
backed up by troops, and that wheI
this stage is reached the failure of th'
strike is certain. These are the reasons
why a strike has been carried
on for more than a month without VIC
lence and riot. by men who would hav
resorted to both within a week a few
years ago. We certainly have mad
gratifying progress in these matters
and may confidently look forward 4
the time when the strike will be N

Human fancy, which looks for SYM
bolic meaning in everything, has found
the proper symbolism of iewelry. 1t
is said, remarks the Philadelphia Rec
ord. that in making a present of jew
elry the first matter to be considered
is the color of the hair of the recipient.
IL is supposed that brunettes possess
mainly positive qualities, as intelli-
gence, discretion, etc, whik the blonds
are believed to be more lively and ideal
ly inclined. Since silver symbolizes
fancy and enthusiasm it should prevail
in the jewelry of dark-haired persons.
for thus they receive what they lack
poetry and idealism. In the iewelry Of
blonds, however, gold should predomi-
nate. for this metal will dampen their
vivacity and weaken their fancy.
OF the gems rubies and garnets arc
considered the symbols for wisdom and
good common sense, and are, therefore,
fit gifts for blonds. Other gems best
suited for light-haired beauties are the
topaz. the turquoise and the sapphire.
Brunettes should be presented with the
amethyst, the stone of hope or the en-
erald.
The king of gems. the diamond, is the
symbol for elegance. IL suits all, the

Mr.. SMALLEY INDICATED.
MAGISTRATE DEAN DISMISSED
BOTH CASES AGAINST HIM.

MahlOn B. Foster, prosecuting wit

in Magistrate Deans court at Newark
yesterday afternoon. He had sworn
out warrants charging William f.
Smalley, Jr., with the embezzlement of
a gold watch and diamond ring, and
with the larceny, as bailee, Of 200 bush
els of wheat.
The case was heard yesterday after
noon, and after hearing the testimony
of the prosecution, the magistrate dis
missed l1he case without even asking
Mr.. Smalley to make statement in his
own behalf. The only witnesses heard
were Foster, E. ID. r. Sutton and Wal
ter Bacon. After they had told their
stories the magistrate said that the
found no proof of either embezzlement
or larceny as bailee, and ordered the
case dismissed.
Foster called on Deputy Attorney
General Cooper and asked him to pre-
sent Smalley to the grand jury, but Mr.
Cooper referred him to AttOrney-Gen-
eral White.
Foster has now entered suit in Mag
istrate Pritchett's court for $50 for a
check given by Mr. Smadley on the
Delaware Bank, but which the bank re-
fused to honor. Robert Adair repre-
sents Foster in this suit.
A reporter called on Mr. Smalley

RICH MEN IN KANSAS.
Every Town Has one Who Is Meas
ured by n Local Standard.

Every Town Has One who Is Meas
ured by n Local Standard.
There are no rich men in Kansas
towns. The men who own a million dol
lars worth of property number less
than half a score in the whole state,
says Atlantic. Those who number half
a million dollars worth of property
might ride together in a sleeping car,
with an upper berth or two to spare.
Every town has its rich man, measured
by local standard. who is frequently
retired farmer turned banker, but
not one in five of these is rated at $780,
coo. Yet each is the autocrat of his
county, if he cares to be. The main
spring that moves the towns daily ma
chinery may be found in the back room
of the bank. There it is decided wheth-
er or not the bonds shall be voted.
There it is often determined whether
there shall be eight or nine months of
school. There the village chronicles are
spread upon the great ledgers every
day. The town banker supplies the
money for every contest. If he is wise,
he watches his little corner ofthe world
as a spider watches from his web. The
great trust which he keeps requires a
knowledge of the details of the game
that men are playing around him. Yet
with all his power, this town banker
would be counted a poor man in the
city. Seldom is his annual income as
much as $4,000. But he lives in the best
house in the town. The butcher saves
his best cuts for him. the grocer puts
aside his best vegetables, and the whole
.oxrr,, waits 4o do his biddinp
