Gossip in Richmond about Big Fish.

4 few starGsh flashed their wit and
wisdom in the hotel lobbes, and vainly
sought the Wciety Of such suckers as
would listen to their bubblingcomments.
Much was said about the guhernatorial
whales and the chances Of various con
stitutional convention surgeons, who
are swimming the waters in search OF
honorary bait There was general i'm
preston that the convention trot-linc
would hang many victim.
Great diversity of opinion prevailed as
to the chances Of the gubernatorial
monsters Some declared that the Au-
gllsta whale would unexpectedlyexplOde
in the State Democratic Convention and
blow the two Pittsylyania whales to
smithereens: others insist that the
red crested whale from Pittsylvania
would reduce the congressional whale to
q gelatinous mass Of bone and blubber,
while still Others averred that the con
gressiOnal whale would pin back the ms
Of his Pittsylvania brother and swallow
him whole. Not much was said about
the Portsmouth whale, but the general
impression is that he will get bleached on
the Eastern Shore, but die game.
The efforts to exclude the black bass
from their aquatic rights and to debar
them from the privileges pertaining to
unsulied waters excites much comment.
Some say that il the black bass are
driven To the cess pools OF politicaldeg-
radations, the catfish genus ''po'-
white , should also go.
Verify, there are many divergent views,
and ere long all things that swim, from
wiggletais. tadpoles, eels, etc, up TO
surgeons, whales and leyiathians, will
begin to churn the wa ters and beat the
current with their fins and tails
From the drift of things so far, and
the evident disposition Of all hands to
talk. it is evident that there will be no

a sensation Sunday afternoon when with

women and children.
Smith said he had been warned of the
impending food and was taking his
people out of it's track The food, he
said. would destroy everything, and il
anyone was left it would be only through
n miracle.
The crowd, OF negroes sang hymns and
prayed while waiting for the train.
Before boarding the train Smith declared
that five years full ofdisasterawa sched-
uled for this section, but it would not
he SO bad in Louisiana.
Smith is the man who corralled his
flock ina warehouse in this city about
two years ago to escape n flood OF hot
water which he predicted. The negroes
remained in the house until the police
had to disperse them as n sanitary meas
ure Negroes who are not members Of
Smiths church say he is receiving 81
per head for taking his flock to Louis
iana. However, Smiths followers
earnestly believe they are adopting the
only means of escaping from the terrible
fate.
