THERE is a good deal of astonishment
to find the census showing that Richmond,
Ma, has only gained 1862 population since
1885, when she had 1883 inhabitants.
There has been every reason why Rich
mond should have made a growth Of from
80 to so per cent, as have other cities
without 1.-THE of her advantages, instead
of Il beggarly little per cent. Few places
i'll the United States have more natural
advantages than E.rhmond. She is ut the
head of navigation ON a great. deep river,
ironing three States, has coal and iron
right at her doors, and unlimited water
power. With all these she does not grow.
Baltimore and Atlanta are rapidly taking
away from her trade as a distributing
center of the South Atlantic seabOard
which naturally belongs to her. an, she
is net developing her manufactures as she
should with her opportunities. The trouble
is that Richmond scannOt forget that she
was the capital of the late so-called
Southern Confederacy, and she plays in
cessantly on that one string. She thinks
that the South should for that reason buy
all its goods from eher, at high prices,
rather than enjoy ithe better bargains Of
fered by Baltimore and A.lantn, which
she insists aye 'Yapkeeized." Instead of
hustiins around to- keep up with the pro-
cession, and make the most Of her natural
resources, she prefers to build monuments
to Jeff Davis, get up Confederate demon
STATIONS, and publish books lauding the
Lost Cause" and denouncing the "Aboli-
ton conquest of the South" She fatu-
ously thinks this will win back to her the
pre-eminence III trade and manufactures
she enjoyed when everything north of the
Potomac was foreign territory

PROF. COLES FOR MAY.

From storms and Signs.
Let all the people in America rejoice
and be glad. for the month of May will
be a great High Flood" month and
prosperity will rule in spite of all the
Affections that the jealous "low-ebb"
vital forces may choose to send upon
her. The greater part of the month
will be fair and lovely: but the plan
cts are in position to give us some un-
precedented storms; resulting in de-
structive floods. Snow storms and hail
storms may surprise us all; as the
suns magnetic and electric focus will
be interfered with by the sleet-king
planets and cause severe electrical
storms. seismic disturbances and vol
caniC activityin the earth. Watch out
for strange phenomena, as the planets
will be in a very unusual position this
month About the middle of the
month Venus Earth, Jupiter and Cran-
us will make a perfect right angle
with Mars, Mercury and the Sun, while
Neptune and Saturn will be in con-
junction with each other and the sun.
on the eth, the earth passes between
the sun and the great planet Jupiter;
and on the 2sth the eclipse viii appear;
therefore, it will be well for us to
keep a watchful eye upon the "weath-
err and upon our finance" as unusu-
al disturbances may be looked for dur
ing the middle and the latter part of
the month.
THE SUNS ECLIPSE.
The greatest event of the month will
be the eclipse of the sun on the 2Sth

United States and draw a straight line
from Norfolk, Va, 10 New Orleans,
La, then over the gulf and through
Mexico; and allow twenty-five miles
on either side OF the line you will have
the Zine" and width" of "totality"
Of the suns eclipse. Those living more
than twenty-five miles away from this
line to the north will see the north rim
of the sun, and those living to the
south win see the south rim; and the
farther away you are the more of the
sun yCu will see. This heavenly ex-
hlbition will take place between the
hours ot seven and eleven in America.

ton, pain. Indigestion, and looseness
of the bowels. Peruna is specific for
catarrh of the stomach.
Many people think that catarrh is
confined to the head, and perhaps oc-
casional cases of catarrh of the stom-
ach. This is very far from being the
case. Every organ. duct and opening
of the body is lined with mucous
membrane and is liable to catarrh or
inflammation. One man has catarrh OF
the eyes; another catarrh of the
bronchial tubes; another catarrh of the
kidneys; another catarrh of the blad-
der.
A remedy to cure Catarrh of these
different organs must be remedy that
acts directly on the mucous MEM
branes lining these organs. 1t must be
an internal systemic remedy. 1t is
claimed for Peruna that il cures ca
tarrh wherever located.
A book on catarrhal diseases. writ
ten by DR.. Hartman, the compounder
of Peruna, will be sent free to any ad-
dress by The Peruna Medicine Co,

fashion. Miss hlda Louisa johnson, the dra

striking incidents in the life Of Lord Byron,
