G. A. II. and the Union jack.

(New York SUM
The other day some G.. A. RS,
Who camped In Buffalo.
Concluded for a little lark.
To Canada they'd go;
And so party OF them went,
And didn't go ii slow.
Toronto was the town they struck,
And when they went ashore
They formed themselves in line Of marc
And swung their flag galore;
Which made the people round that way
Particularly sore.
Because they have a law that says
No foreign flag shall NY
In Canada unless there Is
A Union jack near by;
And so they struck the G.. a. RS.
TO know the reason why.
The G.. A. Rs. apologized
They didn't know, they said,
The custom of a country where
The flag IL flew was red.
And hurried off TO get IL straight
So they could so ahead
And go ahead they did, with speed,
Upon those foreign shores,
With loud hurrahs and lively songs
And other kinds OF roars;
While over them Old Glory waved
AS big as all outdoors.
But they were safe. for near at hand
A Union jack they flew,
To keep within the law and make
The cops know what to DO!
But the inch dimensions OF that jack
Were only two by two!

THE YEII0W-FEVER.

The Marine Hospital authorities at
washington and the physicians at ocean
Springs, Miss, are not exactly In ac-
cord as to the fever epidemic that prevails
nj the Mississippi watering place. The
doctors on the scene are satisfied that
the disease is yellow-fever. but some ex-
perts at a distance still express doubts
on that point. 1t would seem that local
physicians of intelligence. with their eX-
perience with Yellow Jack. ought to be
the better authority. But be that as it
may, there is no question that it would
be wise to apply TO the situation the
regulations usually applied TO prevent the
spread OF the southern scourge until 1t
shall have been absolutely demonstrated
that the doubling Thomases are right.
AS the result of doubt the country has
had two very sad experiences with yell
low-feyer since the war. When in 1873
the disease made its appearance in the
Gulf States, the alarm of the local physi-
clans was met with the declaration of
experts and others that ii was not the
genuine yellow plague, but comparatively
harmless kindred fever. But this was
indeed a case of Nero's fiddling while
Rome was burning. The fever was not
only true Yellow Jack, but true Yellow
Jack in its most virulent form. The
scourge spread as far north as Memphis,
making that city a yertable charnel-
house and Frustrated business in the sec
lions affected TO an extent that involved
the loss of millions of dollars. Again, in
1887. doubtful and neglected cases occurred
In Florida, from which. in 1888, an cpl
demic developed in that State. In this
latter instance however. the authorities,
both local and Federal, profted some
what by the epidemic of 1878, and mate
rally checked the spread of the disease.
The epidemic OF 1883 commenced in Au-
gust and ragged until the middle of De-
cember.
Virginia has suffered only one vista
ton of yellow-fever. That was in 1855,
when the disease got fast hold in Nor
folk. and we do not apprehend second
visitation. Still, the experience of 1855
warns us that we can never call our
selves safe, and considering the great de-
veiopment of the commerce of Newport
News and Norfolk during recent years.

A Profitable Farm-PersOnal and
General Mention,

ONANCOCK, VA, September 7.--(Spe-
cial.)-Mr. S. r. Nelson, of Onancock, Is
one of the most skilful and successful
farmers Of the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
Several years ago he purchased "A farm
near this town, paying at the rate OF
about $50 per acre for it, He began at
once TO inclose and improve it, and he
is now beginning 10 realize substantial re-
turns for his labor and expenditure. he
has a colored tenant on one portion OF
the farm, covering about twenty-eight
acres of cleared land, who has worked 1t
under the direction and supervision or
Mr. Nelson, and ii would be difficult to
find in this section. or. perhaps. in any
other part of Virginia farm which has
yielded a greater return per acre. From
this small farm there have been realized

For onions, $l42.50; for lrish-p0tatoes,
sl66.25; for sweet-potatoes, S545.52; making
a total of S95i37; ard there remains to be
gathered a crop Of corn, which Will
amount to seventy-fve or eighty barrels
In other words, this little farm of TWEEN
ty-eight acres will yield this year, clear
of all expenses of cultivation, nearly

for truck-farming in this part of the
world, and if times continue TO improve.

yield even greater returns next year,

DUTY on WEARING APPAREL.
Treasury OGiciaIs Puxzlfng Over New
Regulations.


(New York Journal of Commerce
The Treasury officials are still puzzllng
over the enforcement of the provisions
of the new tariff law regarding wearing
apparel and personal effects. The last
word is to be spoken by the representa-
tives of the manufacturing tailors. in
favor of rigid restrictions, and the regu-
lations will soon after be issued. Assistant
Secretary Howell. who has been giving
much attention TO the subject discussed
some of its phases with Collector Bid
well upon the occasion of his recent
visit to New York. The New York Of
ficials are mostly In favor of making
the Interpretation of the law as lenient
as possible. in view of the extreme en-
barrassments which are imposed upon
them by its provisions. Examination of
the tariff has disclosed the fact that
ready-made clothing is provided for under
the cotton schedule at 30 per cent; under
the woollen schedule at compound duties.
amounting to four times the duty on an
equal weight of unwashed wool and co
per cent. additional; and under the silk
schedule at 60 per cent. These provi-
sions will obviate the necessity of clas-
styling each article according to its
quality after the material Is ascertained.
The fax schedule contains a distinct pro-
vision for wearing apparel at GO per cent.
under the paragraph for laces. 1t is
doubtful whether this provision will not
afford lower rate than some of the
specific and compound duties levied upon
woven fabrics OF linen. but II is claimed
at the Treasury that these cases will
constitute small proportion Of the
whole volume OF linen importations.

Now. the company's chief purpose Is TO
better this. II will bring all of It's tracks
together az one point here. and there they
will establish their much-needed pas

Some years ago. whenever our business
men prodded President ingalls, about the
shabbIness OF the Chesapeake and ONO
depot here. he would throw off, upon
us by saying that we people OF Kicn-
mond had had this city for ages. and had
nor nroyided ourselves with fine hotel,
whereas he had had the Chesapeake and
Ohio property but few years. and yet we
expected him to provide US with fne
depot at oncel Then he would plea
sanity say that the new depot
would materialize soon after the
hotel did. Major Lewis Ginter (who
is lust now extremely I'D has
proyided us with the Jefferson, and
we expect Mr.. ingalls, TO fulfil his pro-
mise az TO the depot shortly.
The fact is that the Chesapeake ana
Ohio is hampered very much in its coal
business on account of the poor con-
nection of its tracks here at Richmond.
That connection. when made. was the
best that could be made for the money
available for such an expenditure; Out
It is not what the increased business
now requires. The proposed plan OF Inn
provement will give the company the
very connection that 1t wants. The old
Richmond and Allegheny road win be
united TO the main line Of the Chesapeake
and Ohio road by skirting the city,. e..
by going around the closely built up Sec
ton of the city upon viaduct con-
structed upon the rocks in the bed OF
James river 1t is quite an original en-
cheering scheme. but altogether practi-
cal. albeit the viaduct has to cross seve-
raj bridges that connect Richmond with
Manchester.
so. too, the depot scheme Is quite
feasible one. and when carried out will
land upon Main street all passengers
who come to Richmond upon Chesapeake
and Ohio trains.
And then, too, we have the right to hope
that the Southern road will either make
a depot arrangement with the Chesapeake
and Ohio Company. or will erect pas
senger depot Of it's own. Certainly, no
one can gainsay that the Southern road
needs passenger depot here. Cities and
towns that contribute to the golfers OF
the company much less than Richmond
does have better depots than we nave.
This is not as it should be. This is not
treating us nicely.
The Southern Company owes Its valu-
able charter to Virginia, and In part 10

show more appreciation than it does in
this respect TO our generous spirit and
