Fraudulent sarsaparilla.

Our farmer friend lW. L. Davis,
who lives about eight miles south
east of the city, made us pleasant
call this morning, and handed as a

marking, II consider that your pa

famous medicine, or rather man
who bought him, tried to sell me
some of the vile stuff, and / at once
told him no." Mr.. D. says that two
men were going through the coun-

fraud farmers out of their money,

A good one is told on Rose Hill
man He came down to the city on
Saturday, and after spending the
day in the city, thought to put his
wife in a good humor by laying in a
supply of meats for the Sunday
dinner, which he put into execution
buying enough to last three or four
days. The good wife thought she
would please hubby by giving him a
good dinner on Sunday and she had
ordered up by telephone a liberal
supply of meat. When hubby got
home late Saturday evening with
several pounds of meat, his wife met
him withsa smile, asking him what
be had bought ard when he told her
meat, the smile turned into a frown
she said: Some women serve no
tice on saloonkeepers not to sell
their husbands whiskey--I shall not
do this, but | will telephone all the
butcher shops in the city not to let
you have any more meat and with
this she reached up for the phone
and during the next few minutes
every butcher in town was warned

not to sell her husband any more

Oyster Cases.

Suffolk, Va, Dec. 11.-Judge George
r. Atkinson, of Isle OF Wight county,
to-day ruled that the taking of oys-
tiers from grounds which had been
properly assigned to an individual or
firm is larceny, whether or not the
oysters in question had been planted
by the assignees. The decision grew
out of a warmly contested motion in
the case of the Commonwealth VS..
Claude Tennis, which is the fret OF
81 cases to be tried in the County
Court on an appeal from the decision
Of Justice Davis, who imposed fine
of SIS each and costs for oyster piracy
There are two lawyers on each eide.
To-day was occupied entirely in the
discussion OF preliminary motions.
rhe Commonw lth first asked that
an amended warrant be issued. The
Court issued a new bench warrant,
which the defense moved to dismiss.
The motion to quash was overruled
and exceptions were noted. The de-
Tense claimed that there could be nc
larceny of oysters where they had
lot been planted by the assignees OF
the grounds. The prosecution oppos-
ed the contention and held that the
offense was larceny. The court ruled
that the oysters were the property OF
Armstrong, Pratt & Bloxom,t to whom
the grounds had been assigned; thai
the removal of them was larceny, aDC
that the warrant was sufficient. The
case will consume two or three more
days.

The centennial of the establish
ment OF the Government in Wash
ington was celebrated at the National
Capitol on Wednesday and the exer
cises seem to have been a complete
success. Five hundred Virginians
or more were in the great parade and
contributed to it and Senator Daniel
was Oh hand as one of the orators OF
the day and upheld the reputation
of the old State in that line in good
shape, according to all reports made
of mis- address. Great enthusiasm
prevailed throughout the day, all
traffic was suspended and nothing
seems to have been left undone to
id to the pleasure and success OF
the event. The President was a
conspicuous figure in the proceedings
and it is gratifying to be able to note,
that the Governor of Virginia was
also present to share the honors with
him. The part taken by Virginia in
the program. of exercises was, of
course, In accord with the fitness of
things" and while politically not sin
it' in things about the National
Capitol at present, her history is too
much a part OF al tRstis great-and
glorious m this country, for the old
State to be ignored on such occa-
sions.

THE EXTRA SESSION.
Governor VIII Not at Once Recommend
General Legislation.

Governor Tyler's message to the
General Assembly, when it convenes
ia extraordinary session on the SSo
Of January, viii not contain any re-
Communications as to general legisla
ton.
1t is presumed it will state the OBJ
iect of the extra session--to arrange
for the constitutional convention. Ii
is well assured that 1T will go nc
further.
Governor Tyler, in conversation
with a Dispatch writer last night
said he would not make any general
recommendation in his first mes
sage.
'"If the Legislature" he said, de
cides to take up legislation OF gen.
eral character, then | shall probably
make several recommendations. I'M
til it reaches this decision. shall not
take q step in the matter
Governor Tyler declined to express
an opinion when asked whether he
wanted the Legislature to take up
subjects of general legislation.
Gas the head of the Executive De-
partment of the State Government,
it would be manifestly improper for
ue to express an opinion on the sub
iect," said the Governor. 80 1t is q
question tobe decided by the legis
lative branch"
The general tenor OF the Cover
nor's conversation, however, left lit
tie room to doubt that he is opposed
to the Legislatures doing more thar
arrange for the constitutional con
vention.
1t is plainly evident that there viii
be vigorous fight over proposition
to take up general legislation. Thu
members of the Legislature are divi
ded on the question. In view OF suci
division, the intention OF Governo
Tyler not to make any general re
commentators is of especial i'm
portance. 1t has appeared that tn
weight of sentiment among the legis
lators and the public was against tn
lawmakers doing more than fix VI

A bill has been introduced into
Congress by Hon. William A. Jones,
providing for Increasing the efficiency
of the life-saving service. The bill,
tits admitted on all sides, is.a desira-
BILE one and should commend itself
to every member of that body, and
will, it is believed, be passed upon
favorably by them, If sufficient
number of them will take time to
give it the consideration it deserves.
1t is fair at least to conclude that the
average Congressman has his sense
of justice sufficiently developed, to
be willing to pay, rs the bill provi'
DIES, fair compensation to the life
savers while in active service and
give them a liberal pension where
they become superannuated and un
fit for the work. Once intthe service
with the most of them it becomes
their life work, and precluded al
they are by reason Of the Incessan'
watching and labor required of them
from any other.means Of. a livelihood
of course, the Government ought t.
deal literally with them when OF

abled and III fit for service. 1t would
hardly deserve to be considered longel

Some of our brethren Of the Press
are disposed to give the members to
be elected to the Constitutional Con-
vention, to be held in Virginia next
year, credit for very little common
sense in protesting TO believe report
in circulation that they. would vote
themselves $40 90 per day for expen-
ses. They seem to forget that the
beople will elect the representatives
in that body, and that the outcome will
oe too serious a matter to them to in-
trust the affairs of the State with
men of such sordid longings for the
filthy lucre. With one exception in
the past, the best and ablest men i'll
the State have been selected to rep
resent them in such conventions and
we presume, that they will see that
they are up to the standard in these
respects in the next convention. The
people in fact are already demanding
men of that class, and we mistake
the temper of the people of the State,
if they do not see that such for the
most part only are chosen. OF course,
tho claims of men will not be con.
sidered, who for such sordid consid-
erations would wish to represent US
in that body. 1t may be unwise at
this time to hold the convention, but
we have no fear that the grave ques-
tioDs to be considered will not have
the attention of the ablest and best
men in the State, and of those who
will undertake the labor without re-
gard to the compensation they will
receive.
