oRABLE To PROPOSITION OF
MEDICAL COLLEGE
HIRsCHBERG OBJECTS
FEELS THAT CITY
ALREADY HAS COMFORTABLE
AND ADEQUATE HOME
FOR THE SICK
HIRSCHBERG OBJECTS

After looking the proposition over
yesterday afternoon, a committee from
the city council, embracing Messrs.
felt that 1t would be good thing to
accept the offer OF the trustees of
the Medical College of Virginia, to
take the Virginia and the Old Do
minion hospitals in charge, and run
them as a city hospitay.
This committee visited the two
hospitals. They found that the vir-
g.nia was fully equipped, and ready
for business. The Old Dominion is

like Looks of Things.
This proposition was made several
weeks ago. Alderman Mitchell had
advocated a resolution providing for
a new city hospital. He had fought
his resolution through the utilities
committee and IL had reached the
council. Then committee was named
to look into the proposition present
ed by the Medical college, through DR..
George Ben Johnston. That commit
tee yesterday viewed the premises. and
from expressions made by the varioCs
members Of the committee, 1t is like
ly that the subcommittee will, at a
meeting at O'Clock next Monday
afternoon recommend to council that
the proposition be accepted
Commissioner Hirschberg. while he
does not wish to retard the city in
any progressive movement, feels that
the present city hospital is equal to
the occasion, and states, IN order to
verify what ne claims, that the city
hospital now has room for many more
people than are now in that instttu-
ton.
Equipment of Hospital.
He also states that the equipment
at the city hospital Is equal to that
of any In the city. DR.. Johnston. at
a recent meeting OF the committee, on
this proposition. agreed with Mr.
Hirschberg. and said that the equip
ment at the City home was as good
as that at any hospital in the city.
When the report OF the subcom-
mittee is presented. there Will be
fight. because many member of coun-
ell feel that the present City home
answers all the requirements. at this
time. and these feel that the City
hospital should be brought down
town" nearer the center Of popula-
ton.

The Bible has many wood cuts, all

much diffrent from those in the Bible
of today, especially IN proper names,

the book of Job, and the second part
beginning with Psalms, and running
through the prophetic books.

ON EXPLORING

The night was dark. and the sea was
wet,
AS the gallant bark. with her sail full
set,
Prepared to brave the main.
This plucky band, who sailed away
From our fair land, at close Of day,
Might ne'er return again.
No one to say a last farewell;
No band to play, no one to tell
What might their fortunes be.
To risk ones life for science sake,
To face the Strife. nor honor take.
Is truly chiyalry.
Music here pleased
The gallant ship took many a dip,
As Buncomb held the wheel.
With face grim set and whiskers wet,
His heart as true as steel,
No thought OF self, nor fame nor
wealth,
Nor write-ups in the morning;
But braves the sea. with laughter free,
Nor heeds grim deaths dread warning.

The scene Is changed to desert Isle
The wind is winding all the while.
Our heroes dare the raging storm
And smoke cigars to keep them warm.

Was never trod please save the

BY white man ever until now,
who answers rot? and why? and how?
Perfect silence here please. and NO

Our heroes found, on searching
round
Upon that rocky shore,
Fossils rare, beyond compare,
And looked around for more.
One was oval shaped and made
OF stfi6 they once called tin,
Resembled steel, quite light In shade,
And shiny bright within.
Some letters strange upon the can
Our party by some means
Discovered that twas made by man,
And one time held sardines.
They also judged that this strange
fish
Made not its home in trees;
Nor.did t..ey build themselves hive
Like little busy bees;
But swan around. where freaks
abound.
In strange and unknown seas,
Another fossil that was gained
Was round in shape and once
contained,
So thought cur heroes at the time.
sIuff just brewed to suit the cline.
And by the way, they found some
eggs,
Maybe they'll find some more,
when next they go upon a hunt
Around some unknown shore.
Gentle reader, for a change, &
Go exploring, take the cue:
Maybe You'll find something strange:
4pe a live explorer toe: !.
Our friends have reached their
homes at last,
Their mission end, dangers past,
And promise ne'er again to roaml
So far away from home sweet home.
And as they sit and talk and smoke,
And tell great tales Of glory,
Each one will smile to think his
fame,
