NIRGINIA's MUSTER ROLL:

NIRGINIA'S MUSTER ROLLS.-The
House committee on military affairs
on Friday received "a communication
from Assistant Secretary of War
Meikeljohn, recommending adverse
action on Representative Hays bill to
enable the Governor of Virginia to
have the muster rolls of the troops
furnished by Virginia to the Confed-
eracy copied, the rolls now being in
the possession of the War Depart
meDt.
Mr.. Meikeljohn says there is no
room at the War Department where
the rolls can ), copied, and no avail
able force to copy them. They are
so valuable he would not care to
trust them to copyists unfa-
miIiar with the work, as they might
mutilate or mix them up. The rolls
are soon to be published, he says, and
the Governor can then procure a list
at much less expense than copying
them. The committee will probably
make an adverse report on the bill.

Illinois furnishes lamentable tale
of Christmas festivities, in which a
noble son, two aged parents, and an
unexpected calamity play prominent
parts. The young man had just re
turned home after an absence of
many years, and with him he brought
$500 with which TO clear a mortgage
from the old homestead. There was
Christmas tree in the parlor, and
the dutiful son, intending to surprise
his mother and father, fastened the
money-eight crisp, new notes-on
the cedar. He then lighted the can
dies on the tree and withdrew from
the room. A few minutes later the
family smelt smoke, and, rushed to
the parlor, they saw the tree in a
blaze. Before anything could he
done the cedar aud all the articles
which ornamented it were DESTROYED.
The money was burned before it could
be rescued aud the house was also
badly damaged.

The LIST of January issue of the
Richmond Dispatch was highly cred
table to that excellent paper. Ii
was devoted to presentation of the
business progress of Richmond in
1898, and the Dispatch is pleased to
be able to show that the capital and
chief city of Virginia experienced
marked improvement in all its indus
trial interests. and that the present
year promises unusual activity in new
business enterprises. Manufacturing
establishments increased their sales
over the preceding year S2,53I.350
and gave employment 10 more opera
tives; jobbing interests increased the
capital invested and sales show an
increase of more than one and
quarter million dollars over 1897:
railroads centering there had an ex-
prosperous year; bank
cleariugs were upwards of seventeen
and quarter millions in excess of
the preceding year; the postotiice re
ceipts show an increase of $50 per
cent. since 1850. and other evidences
show a natural and steady growth Of
the business of Richmond. over which
those people interested in Nirginia's
rejoice. There is one
feature that was markedly absent in
the papers we receive from Rich
mond, they moved steadily along
without crying calamity with every
phase III the moons changes. The
increase in Richmond's prosperity W
hope has leavened the business Of the
Dispatch.

they resolve TO 90 to war they will
unite all Americans in war for their
