hlthNoSD, NOV. 4.
10 the Editors Of the Dispatch, We have
not discussed the question OF the removal
of General Lees remains in our letters from
Lexington because we did not, and do not,
regard it a, Il proper question for d>cu :,
sion. 1t rests with the family alone, and
ought to be left to their unbiased decision.
Bur finding that the action and feeling OF
the authorities OF the college and of the
people OF Lexington have been somewhat
widely misunderstood, it Is proper that |
should say that neither have attempted to
exert any influence upon the family in the
decision of the question. Col. VIM. Pres
ton Johnston, i'll his eloquent speech last


night ut our grand meeting, expressed what
vour correspondent knows to be the facts
of the case and the feelings OF our people.


lie said that the only action taken b. the
college authorities was to offer on the day


of our terrible loss Il vault for the deposit


Of the remains until the family could make


their final decision. and afterwards to ten


der permanent resting-place if it should


meet the wishes of those who alone had the


right to decide it !; that the citizens of Lex


ington had done nothing except that on


coming from the burial the soldiers had


simply said that they would esteem it a
high honor to guard the sacred dust if it


met with the appreciation of the family !;
that neither rs corporate bodies or as indi-
yidualS had they attempted to influence the
decision, and that they would most cheer
fully submit 10 whatever that decision
might finally be.


lie said that all were agreed that Rich
mond was the proper place for the grand
central monument, and that he and his col
leagues would contribute their full share
towards raising the monument here, but
he expressed the earnest conviction that If
the family should decide that the tit resting
place of the great hero is amid the scenes of
his last Iabors, in the chapel built by his
own hands, at the spot wherc he chose TO
Ice and TO de, his old soldiers here will not
grlidse to those who surrounded him i'll his
last years the privilege and honor OF guard
ing his tomb. We know that these arc the
sentiments of college and town alike, and
hope that those papers which have done
Injustice in the matter will promptly cor
rect what they have said. LEXINGTON.

RICHMOND DTHEATRE.-Marietta Ravel, an
actress Of llndoubted merit, and favorite
with our Theatre-goers, will make her first
appearance in three years this evening ut
the above place of amusement. To our
many readers that are acquainted with the
peculiar qualities of Miss Ravel, the mere
announcement of her appearance will be OF
itself sufficient to warrant their attendance.
She will be supported, rs we are informed,
by company of carefully-selected artistes
from the northern theatres, and will open
in new military drama, which has just
had most successful run in New York
14th.S The piece has been written espe-
cially for her, and is calculated to bring
forth her peculiar powers in their strongest

A STATE BOARD OF MEDICAL EXAMINERS.
The Medical 2ociety Of Virginia, ut its meet
ing held in this city during the past week, de.
termined to endaVorto prevail upon the Gen.
eral Assembly to institute board Of exam
iners for persons proposing to engage in
the performance OF the responsible duties
of practitioner of medicine. This is u
move of the greatest moment to the public,
and strikes near the hearthstone of every
one. As the law now stands, every one who
can pay five dollars for Il license is allowed
to practice medicine, and toy with that most
precious and most brittle Of all things
human life.


1t is proposed that this board shall con-
sist of seven medical men, three OF whom
shall be appointed by the society, two by
the Executive, and one by each of the me.
dical institutions Of the State, who shall
examine, and if found qualified, license all
persons who shall hereafter offer themselves
TO the public as doctors. 1t is also in view
to make the practice Of physic by alU per.
son not graduated ut q regular medical
school, aud SO licensed, 4 misdemeauor, pun
ishable on conviction by u fine Of $500 fol
each offence.


The only feature in this scheme objec.
tionable to us is the giving the power to
the board to Gil any vacancy which may oc.
cur In their body. We are utterly opposed
to close corporations Of any sort, ard j
this were stricken out would heartily en-
dorse the action Of the society.

From the Philadelphia LEDGER


Put money in thy purse" is sound


wisdom. as well as poetry. For the


last eight years people have been
/ watching the fluctuations in the value
of the paper which represented mon
/ ey in all the actual business and wants


of life. But there is one feature of
/ the printed paper of which neither
bulls" nor "bearsp could depriye IL.


It was always necessity, and money,
or its representative, always will be;
and Whatever may be its market val
ue on the ''street, y it will ALWAYS buy
more or less of the necessaries of life
Nothing can take the place Of money
in this respect. 1t is always convert
ible into meat and drink and clothes,
and that Is what can be said of no
other article. For purposes of specu-
latiOn having an ''uneertainp value,
for practical use it is always certain.
The aim Of every prudent man then
should be always to have on hand
reserve of this universal solvent"
If money fiuetuates in its nominal
price or purchasing power, every
thlng else tiuctuetes too; and probably
the thing called money is more stable
IN It's value than anything else. EN-
ployment may be interrupted by ILL
ness or by changes. Goods bought
and paid for may become unmarketa-
BILE. But money is always in request,
and is never out of season. Therefore,
as we have said, it should be the effort
of every man, whatever be his in
come, to live within it, and thus to
guard against the contingency, which
may come to anybody, of being for
while without an income.


It is curious how almost universal
is indifference to this precautiOn.
Even successful business men are
prone to lock up their accumulations
in extended business projects and
various other ways, some of them
quite unproductive. leaving them
selves actually without immediate re-
sources, if by any means their income
is interrupted. Many a bad bargain
Is forced upon those who are eompell-
ed to realize, when if they had the
power they would wait. The corners
into which poor rich men" are thus
driven show that the course of trade
as well as the march of time brings
its revenges. Rich men as well as
poor are pushed for money.


Yet, while with the rich this is an
inconvenience, with the poor, or with
those who live from day to day. to be
straitened for money is a difficulty,
and may amount to misery. There
are some people who have the sagaei-
ty TO foresee, and fOFeseeing, to alIevi-
ate the trouble. And this they do in
the way we have indicated, by keep
ing always within the limits of their
receipts while they are receiving any
thing, and putting aside the surplus
where it can be reached in the time
of necessity. If to do this could be-
come common, the burden of poverty
upon the poor and the burden of the
support of those too. poor to help
themselves would be very much di-
minished.

Shakespeare, who was a great Judge


of men, and no mean master of the


power that stirs the human heart,


SAYS that conscience makes towards


of us all; but he borrowed the idea
from Solomon, who wrote that the


wicked flee when no man pursueth.


A thoroughly honest man never has


to inquire ON which side the right of


a question lies or which path he


should pursue. He only seeks to


know the path of truth, and walks


straight on in it, knowing r4ght well


that it will lead him in the way he


ought to go. We are all struck with


the simplicity of the Gospel, and it


IS one of the proofs of its divinity.


The ministers of this religion should


preach it in its simplicity, and should


themselves have experienced its re


newing power. Without religion in


the heart of the preacher the word


preached was dishonored. 1t is a
great matter for any community to


have the Gospel preached in its purity,
and it is also necessary tliat the min
lister of the present day should be ed


ueated, in order that he might rightly
divine the Word of God and preach
it in its theological meaning. 1t is a
wise providence of God that we walk


by faith and not by sight. We can
only imagine what a community
would be without an establighed min
istry and regular church organizations.


We can imagine, but we can never
know, how much crime is prevented,


how much sin and misery is checked
its tax- n r,ra..al,rz1 (NAa,,,I
and we can never fully estimate the
number of noble deeds that have been
prompted, the innumerable kind and
loving acts of charity that have been


prompted, by its holy and hallOwing
influences. 1t is God alone that
knows. But the Word of G. ID may


be preached with critical and theOlo-
gical meaning and still not be the
power of God unto salvation. The
logic taught in the Bible is very diff


ferent and superior To the logic taught
in the schools. 1t has a system of
reasoning of its own, and if received
and weighed with an unbiased mind
forces itself upon that mind with such
clearneSs and weight that its cOnelu-
sionS are irresistible. Some of those
periods in the history of the Church
which have given US the ripest sehol-
ars have furnished the least religion.
Those who have read the sermons
preached in Scotland fifty or sixty
years ago must be struck with admi-
ration at the care and talent bestowed
upon their preparation, but the spirit
of love and of the Holy Ghost is not
in them, and consequently never had
any Church sunk lower or was so
wrapped in cold Journalism as the
Church in Scotland at that period.
So it is in Germany; it is well known
that for depth of thought and intens-
ity of application German theologians
are unrivaled, and still how dimly
the fires of evangelism burn in that
land. The words of a preacher must
be baptized with the Holy Ghost his
lips should be touched with a live
coal from off the alter of God, and !
hen the Gospel be preached in power |
and assurance and in the Holy Ghost. !

House plants ought to be stimulated
gently once or twice a week. Rain
water, so refreshing to summer flow
ers, always contains ammonia, which
also abOunds in all liquid manures.
If you take one ounce of pulverized
carbonate of ammonia, dissolved in
one gallon of water, it will make
spring water even more stimulating to
your plants than rain water. If you
water your plants once in two weeks
with guano water tone tablespoonful
to a pail of water they win grow
more thrifty. Chicken manure, dis
solved in water is excellent.


Always keep the soil in your flower
pots loose. a common hair-pin used
daily, will stir the earth sufficiently.
We keep one always at hand in one Of
our tlOwer-pOts.


Now is the time to look over new
seed catalogues, and make your selee-
tiOns for spring use. Nerbenas, pan
sizes, Japan pinks, &c, that flower
early. should be planted either the
last OF this month or the very first of
next. Ifyou did not provide your
self with good soil before the earth
froze, you will have to obtain some
from gardener to plant your seeds.

The pisciculturist, Seth Green, is


known throughout the land for his


energy and perseverance in inauiring


into and ascertaining the cause of


anything that may be new in his lit


tie world of interest or nature. For


many years Mr.. Green has been at q


loss to account for the enormous de-


strucTlOn of very small trout, but he


has now aseertained the cause, and


gives to the public, for the public


good, his discovery. He says in re-


gard to the matter: "There is a small


worm which is a favorite food of trout


and many other kinds of fish. This


worm is one of the greatest enemies


which the young fry have. 1t spins
a web in the water to catch young


fish, just as spider does on land to
catch flies. / have seen them make
the web and take the fish. The web
is as perfect as that of the spider, and
as much mechanical ingenuity is dis
played in its construction. Its made
as quickly and in the same way as a
spiders by fastening threads at differ
ent points and going back and fourth
until the web is finished. The threads
are not strong enough to hold the
young trout after the umbilieal sac is
absorbed, but the web will stick to
the fins and get around the head and
gills, and soon kills the fish. I have
often seen it on the young trout, and /
it has been great mystery and caus- /
ed me many hours, days and weeks of /
study 20 find out what was wound .
around the heads and fins of my young I
trout and killed them. I did not find I
out until lately while watching re-
Gently hatched whitefsh. These are
much smaller than the trout when
they begin to swim, and they were
caught and held by the web. l found I
ten small whitefish caught ip the web
in one night. This web was spun IN
4 little whitefish preserve, into which
[ had put one hundred young fish.
The threads spun by this worm seem
70 be much finer than the common
SPIDERS web, and they are not visible
N the water until the sediment col
ects upon them. They can then be


een very plainly. These webs an
lot be spun where there is much cur
'ent, and can be very easily seen in
till water by a close observer.

There is one thing above all others


that should inspire young man lust


starting out in the world, with earnest


enthusiasm-that is to procure a home


for himself. 1t is customary now


days for a young man to get himself r


wife first, and then trust 10 the


chances that may turn to his favor for


little palace to put her in. Whether


this is good policy or not, it is hard


ly worth while to discuss it, for it
would be as easy to attempt to change
a custom that has so largely the sano-
ton of both the young and old.


But it is fearful thing for young
man to plunge headlong into matri-
mony, thoughtless of the future, and
the consequence of being driven from
place to place. With no home he can
call his own, he becomes slave to the
habit of rowing about, and this, with
accumulating responsibilities, soon
renders life an almost uncomfortable,
burden to him. Thus fettered with a
condition that is constantly annoying
him, he becomes deadened to the
activity and vigilance necessary to
better his circumstances, and be Yields.
and thus subOrdinates the nOblest as
pirations of life to the mere drudgery
of living "frOm hand to mouth" The
philosophy that holds ''a wife first
and all other things afterwards" is not
well founded as the experience OF
thousands prove; but the reverse is
the true secret OF success as well as OF
domestic happiness. A little indus
try and economy on the part of young
men. with the avoidance Of all unnee-
essary expenditures, would soon place
them in a condition, if not of absolute
at least in such cir
as would enable them to
upon life's rugged path with
Out the fear of landlords and quarterly
rents.


70 own a home free from debt is r.
real comfort 1t also relieves one
from the sad thought which has
many sensitive persons, that
N case of sickness or old age, thew
will be thrown out of house and
nome. As one has aptly said, "Ho
AN save the money paid for rent and
appropriate it to his comforts in the.
winter days of life"

over the cradle a mother hung,


Softly grooming a slumber song.


And these were thestmp pie words she sung


All the evening long:
Check or chin, or knuckle or knee,
Where shall the baby's dimple be?
Where shall the angels finger rest
When he comes down TO the baby's nest
Where shall the angels finger remain
When he awakens my baby again? ?"
still as she bent and sang so low,


n murmur into her music broke;
And she paused TO heal, for she could but


know


The baby's angel spoke:
,-Gheek or chin, knuckle or knee.
Where shall the baby's dimple be?
where shall my finger fall and rest
Mnen come down TO the baby's nest
Where shall my fingers touch remain
Nnen awaken your babe agains''
Silent the mother sat, and dwelt


Long in the sweet delay of choice.
And thin by her baby's side she knelt.


And sang with pleasant voice:
Not ON the limb, Oh angel dear!
FOrthe charm with its youth will disappear:
Not on the cheek shall the dimple be,
For the harbOring smile will fade and fee;
But touch thou the chin with an impress
And my baby the angels seal shall keep,
