Tao Yao E. Lung and Tao 4uk Lung
are the names of two young Cinnamon
who are in the city attending the con-
ference of Epworth Leaguers.
They are stopping at the Alhamora
Hotel, and their presence here Is attract
ing much attention.
When seen yesterday they cheerfuily
consented to an interview, but firmly de-
clined TO discuss the situation in China.
saying they had been out of that country
for six months, and knew absolutely
nothing Of what was going on there They
said they were taking the academic course
at the Vanderbilt University, in Nash
vile, and were on their way to Washing
ton and New York, where they propose
to spend their vacation, and came by
Richmond with DR.. w. r. Lalnbuth, who
is here to attend the Epworth League
Conference.
PLEASED WITH AMERICA.
They expressed themselves as being
much pleased with America, and said
they proposed to eturn to Nashville next
fall and remain at the University until
their education was completed.
The young men are highly delighted
with Richmond, and have spent much of
the time between the sessions of the con-
ference in sightseeing. They are
bro Tiers. and belong to a distinguished
family, being closely related to Lii Hung
Chang. In appearance the young China
men are strikingly alike, and but for the
fact that one is rather taller than the
other. they might easily be taken for
twins. Their style Of dress is almost
identical, and both wear spectacles. They
speak English fuently, and appear to be
very intelligent.
Dr. Lambeth will have them with him
at the Y NJ. c. "A. during his address to
young men this afternoon.
They will remain in the city until Mon
day, when they will so to Washington.

GOOD ASSOCIATION.
Supt. Davis Forms Il Society for Pre-
vcniion OF Cruelty to Children.

vcniion OF Cruelty to Children.
Superintendent George B. Davis. of the
City Almshouse, is in favor of the estab-
lishment here of a Society for the Pre-
vention OF Cruelty TO Children"
In talking about such a society yesterday
morning he cited an instance that is now
under his notice in which such d society
could make itself felt.
I'VE have at the institution" he said.
''two small children, a boy and girl.
one of them six years old, the other eight,
who have practically been abandoned
by their parents, scions of respectable
parentage. They are bright little things,
and might make of themselves a stand
ing in the world They have been under
our care, practically, for several years.
Their parents are addicted to evil habits,
and it has been long time since L have
seen the father.
at one time we had at the Almshouse
the mother and five children. I succeeded
in getting one of them in the Episcopal
Orphan Asylum, the oldest one has mar
ried, one of the boys is practically run
ming the streets, and the other two are
with us.
II could get these two in some institu-
ton, where they would have educational
advantages, but cannot get the parents
to agree to such a movement. The law
provides that before children can he
iCCSpteu d. tlc SlllullOll the
consent of the parents must be obtained.
Were there such an organization as the
| society referred to, the laws would be
explicit in such a case ard the children
could be provided with good homes at
some institution established for that pur-
pose.
"Of course we do all we can for the
| children, and treat them kindly but the
| surroundings at the Almshouse are not
such as to instill any bright thoughts in
! to the minds of budding childhood"
Mr.. Davis told of another distressing
| case. There is two-year-old child at
| the Amshouse whose father was killed
| in bicycle accident about two years ago
! in Henrico county. The child, with her
| mother, were left in destitute circum-
! stances, and the mothers mind became
| shattered, and completely broka down,
| and she was sent to Williamsburg, where
! she now is.
| Superintendent Davis took the child in,
| and while there has been number OF peo-
| pie anxious to adopt it, the law prevents
| him from turning the child over to any
| one without the consent of the mother.
While she Isl practically dead to the
| world, she may recover her reason, and
| that the child must be produced in such
| event
| At present there are two foundngs
! at the Almshouse, making in all five chill
I! dren that could be taken care OF properly
| by a SoceH for the Prevention of Cru
| city to Children.

AS TO PLEA OF SELF-DEFENCE'

The following opinions were handed
down by the Supreme Court of Appeals
at Wytheyille last Thursday:
Jackson vs. Commonwealth. County
Court Of Pulaski county. Affirmed.
jackson was found guilty of murder
in the second degree and sentenced 10 the
penIIentiary for five years. Upon the
trial he undertook to prove the dangerous
reputation OF the man whom ne had kill
ed, but the opinion of the court, deliver
ed by Judge Buchanan, says that this evil
dence was properly excluded, since the evil
dence did not tend to show i case OF self
defence.
The opinion holds further that a bill Of
exceptions 10 the ruling OF trial court in re
fusing to allow a witness to answer ques-
ton should show what answer is expect
ed. in order that the appellate court may
understand the materia!ity of the evil
dence>
Coming to a discussion Of the law of
self defence, the court holds that an &C
cused cannot justify a killing by plea
of necessity, unless he was Wlthout tault
IN bringing that necessity upon himself. In
this particular the opinion refers to and
expressly overruleS Hash's case reported
in SSth Va.
The opinion further holds that if a mere

is followed up until the conflict sis for

The Judgment OF. the County Court of
Pulaski county is affirmed.
Repass VS.. Moore. From the Circuit
Court of Wythe County. Affirmed
Repass, who was Treasurer of sWythe
county. in his settlements with the county
and State paid certain taxes due by
Moore for the years 1854, 1855. and 1856.
and IN this cause asked TO be subrogated
to the lien of the county and State for
the amounts paid by him. The case came
to this court once before, and was
remanded to the Circuit Court with
directions to have one of its commission
ers take an account showing under what
circumstances Repass had paid the taxes.
The commissioner reported that he had
naid them without being requested to do
Sd by Moore. and without any assignment

MADE BY A PARTICULAR COMPANY
The stamps used in cancellation are
made by particular company sanction
ed by the Government, and woe be him
who uses one OF another make. 1t will
thus be seen that the shape OF the stamp
depends, in way, upon the caprice OF
the company. II they choose to repair
machine by putting in flag where
straight lines formerly were, 1t is entire
ly within their power to do So
Another peculiar fact is this: None OF
the stamps are of rubber, as one would
suppose. Were they OF rubber the object
of the Government in using certain
kind of ink would be defeated. Only the
ink now used can be used with the pres
ent stamp. whereas with a rubber instru-
ment almost any. kind could be utilized
A duty which has to be performed by
the receiving clerk which is quite dis
tracing is the weighing of the letters or
packages on which is doubtful postage.
Were persons more careful in mailing
letters this could be avoided, but as it is.
every night fully two dollars worth of
postage due stamps have to be put on
the packages. And here, when the pa
per stamps are not employed. another.

Mr.. r. T. Broaddus, the receiving
clerk. is one of the fastest stampers in
the whole place. At off-hand test he
cancelled 6S letters in 20 seconds. thus
giving him over two hundred per minute.
He has been in the work a good while.
