que nos hace ell cronista al manifestar que 81

Plea for Noble Charities.

To Members Of the General Assembly:
1 am glad to find a movement Will be
made in a day or two in the Legislature
TO aid and encourage our noble charities
by relieving them from tax Of per
cent. on all requests. This Is IN tho
true line of our State policy for many
years. Benevolent societies OF all de-
nominations are free OF tax, the state
taking the sensible ground that the WORK
of all these societies IS the most efficient
coworking agency. The States aim Is 10
check poverty and crime, and thus 20
diminish criminal expenses. The hope 81
the country is IN fostering the Church
i'm all her benevolent operations. Make
men better, and you stop law-breakins'
The Church is the right arm or the STATE
They will rise or fall together Men
should help by all means those who are
trying to raise the fallen, cultivate set-
resnect and educate orphans. Good fruit
will certainly follow this course. Iheie
are to-day fifty law-abidlng, honest men
IN this city turned out by our Orphan
osylums. A remarkable fact Is that l
know of several cases where the honest
how has brought back his father TO re-
snectabilIty and sobriety. Two good boys
from our asylum some years ago TOOK
their drunken mother out OF our poor
house. and she lived with them IN re-
spectability.
All men with money should be en-
couraged 10 remember the poor and un-
fortunate in their wills. In this way only
can they do good, though they are dead,
They really live I'm coming years, ana
preserye their good name from geneIa-
ton to generation in honor.
But il is hardly worth while 10 mult'.
nlv words on this subject. All good
men are likely to be OF one mind On
heaven-born charity!

whether that duck was killed yesterday
or was killed a year ago. and mas SINCE

The turkey, the potato, and indian corn
are among the many blessings that ,ne
discovery OF America conferred upon the
world. Before the turkey made us way
from Mexico TO Spain, and thence 10
Turkey. and thence TO England, ana
thonce TO our own shores. the goose was
to be seen upon every Christmas taoie III
the Old World. Occasionally, the pea
cock was similarly used; but he was
then. as now, high-priced BIRD more
valuable. indeed, for his plumage, IMAM
for hts meat. Now the domain Oh the
turkey comprises all the Christmas ceie-
brating countries. Here and there the
goose has some hold, but the turkey ID
the favorite. "by a large majority ana
such is his importance that lectures nave
beeu delivered and books written, telling
how he should be fattened, killed, dressed
stuffed, cooked. carved, and eaten. In
the last-named duty we find millions OF
proGcien,s. And as for the cooking OF
him. we think 1t is best done upon spit
For stuffng, either oysters or chesthuts
may be used but the amateur cook would
better venture to use the former than the
latter.
In the ANCIENT directions for cooking
a hare. IT was set forth that the mare
ought to be caught first We suppose the
same circumspection should be Observes
in cooking a turkey. And for want oil
success in that direction, we greatly rear
that in all the cities Of this land there
will this year be many who VIII nave no
need 10 consult cook-books to ma out
how to cook turkeys. Alas, that 1t should
be so. Would that the love OF Goo ana
the feeling that we are all OF one tamiy
might so stir our hearts as to make US
search out the poor and provide a turkey
for each family. We may load our Christ
mas table with the royalest turkey
that ever strutted but we shall not
have the appetite wherewith to enjoy him

"ELEcTRIFYINGv JAMES RIVER.

The action OF our City Council in grant
ing the franchises asked for by the VIZ
GINA Electric Company sets In motion an
enterprise having for its object the
"electrifying' of James river.
The plan proposed is similar 10 tLat
which is in successful operation AT
Niagara, and which allows Of the manu-
facture of electrical power at CEN
trail point, and the distribution Thereon
for miles around. There Is no other
nossible way that the great water
power which is going to waste here can
be so satisfactorily developed. Manu-
features may then be quite independent
of holders OF lands and lots on the river
bank. In the past, many such sites have
been held at prices which practically for
babe their sale, and which, as conse-
uuence, prohibited new manufactures
from coming here. But with the James
electrified" 1t will be different. 1heh
he who wishes to build a factory need
not seek site upon the river or canai
bank. but may go where land Is cheap
est hereabout, and may there prosecute
his business almost as well as If he were
in the heart of the city.
Again, the new enterprise VIII bring
financial relief TO many who are now
using steam-power, and who complain
that the Richmond price Of STEAMBOAT Is
much higher than 1t should be. Alto
gether, the Virginia Electric Company
has mission of the greatest Importance
to this city. That 1t will be lloeraiiy
patronized, we do not doubt in the slight
