MPLEMIUR AND STARVATION.

London Tlmea.l
Id one of tbe sweetest of operas the
hearer Is charmed with h eborus
whose graceful and rhythmic move
ments reflect the gentle and iu<Jo
leut swaytug of summer seas; but In
the midst orihe dreamy softness of
Weber’s music obtrude the recurrent
notes which warn us to remember
the sleepless watchfulness of the
powers of the storm. It is not given
to us to forget the harsh dissommoe
of pain. Yesterday we were all read
ing of the point) and ceremony of
Oriental magnificence, and for a
brief hour the mind escaped from
the dismal realities of our watery
skies to live amid the splendors of
Delhi. The Vioeroy seemed to have
made the tales of Arabian fic
tion true, and to have justi
fied the largest phrases of
our poets In describing the
riches of the gorgeous East. Upon
the kings who came to testify their
allegiance before the representative
of England’s queen barbaric pearl
and gold were showered more pro
fusely than Milton had ever imagin
ed, and though it must have been
difficult to banisli the recollections
of warfare in sight of the Ridge of
Delhi, the suggestion of privation
was for a time forgotten. To-day the
irrepressible couirast is reasserted.
Instead of the reckless profusion of
inexhaustible wealth, we have to face
the grim fact of the imminent fam
ine. Last week the capital of the
Moguls witnessed a magniffeent dis
play of luxury and prkie. Princes
and governors came together
from every province, and vied
with one another in the
extravagance of their pomp.
Nothing was too rich, nothing too
costly, to become the ceremonial
they shared. Whatever was most
distinguished for the glory of its
sign or for the delicacy or extent of
the labor spent upon its execution
was brought and laid at the feet of
the Viceroy as appropriate offerings
to the majesty he represented. Who
could have supposed that, in this
highest hour of imperial pride, the
mind of the central figure of the pa
geant was disturbed by thought, t hat
would cotne to mar hie satisfaction,
of thousands and hundreds of thou
sands—nay, of a million of persons
besieging the officials and sub-offl
cials of the luoian government to
give them a little work, that they
might have a handful of rice lest they
die?
What seem to be authentic rumors
reach us from Lundou, that a great
change impends over the customs of
fashionable society. People are get
ting tired of dancing till daylicht
and sleeping till noon, and an effort
is to be made during Easter, “iu the
highest quarters,” to make afternoon
dauces fashionable. If this exumple
is followed, either dinner-parties
must become a tiling of the past, or
dinner will become— what indeed it
almost is now —an early sup|>er, and
luncheon will probably take tbe
place of dinner, and be served as it
was a hundred vears ago, at three or
four o’clock. Of course if this comes
to pass in Euglaud, we shall soon see
the change introduced on this side
of the water. The kettle-drums of a
year or two ago, and the “receptions”
and “at-homes” of the current season
have been steps in this direction.
Perhaps before the end of the centu
ry we shall get back to the practice
of the Elizabethaugage, when “noble
men, geutlemen and scholars” dined
at two v. M., and apprentices and me
chanics at six. This will be bad for
the gas companies and the doctors.
But the rest of mankind may be the
healthier, wealthier and wiser for
it—Neu> York World.
An American F.aton by C annibals.
From the Pioche (Nev.) Record.]
We learn tnat Dr. W. H. James, a
former resident of Pioche, lately
perished in New Guinea, an Island
north of Australia, havinir been eaten
by cannibals. Dr. James practiced
in Pioche in 1873. After leaving here
he took up his residence at Sheel
Creek, and thence departed for San
Francisco, at wpich place he obtain
ed a position as hospital steward on
an Australian steamer. Arriving at
Melbourne, he resigned that position
and started with an exploring party
to New Guinea. Dr. James and a
companion, on arriving at that
island, left the exploring party and
struck for the interior of the country,
seeking for gold diggings, when both
perished as above stated.
Whiskey Paralyzing a Child.
About two weeks ago a member of
one of our most respected families
wa3 taken sick, and a four ounce bot
tle of Bourbon whiskey was procured
at a drug store for medicine. The
bottle containing the whiskey was
put upon Asbelf in a closet, as it was
supposed, out of the reach of the
children. On Wednesday morning
a little five-year-old son happened to
get hold of the bottle of whiskey.
He tasted the liquid, and thinking it
was good, gave it to his three-year
old brother to taste also. The latter
drank a considerable portion of the
stuff. A short time afterward the
mother noticed that her youngest
son was drowsy, and she put him to
bed. She soon afterward went to the
bed and found that he was paral
yzed, being unable either to speak or
to move. A physician was sent for,
who quickly divined the cause of the
sickness. He administered anti
dotes, but as yet without success in
bringing the child to entire con-

A COLORED MAN FATALLY STABBED BY
A colored woman —On Saturday after
noon about quarter to 3 o’clock a tragedy
was enacted at the corner of Fahm and
Joachim street which created considerable
commotion thoughout Yamacraw. The
causes leading to this difficulty are un
known, and upon close investigation we
were unable to obtain any definite particu
lars. Ail that could be ascertained was
that a colored woman named Rosa Dan
fort, who was greatly incensed about
something, had attacked a colored man
on the street, in the vicinity of the store
of Mrs. Epstein, and stabbed him fatally
with a penknife, the man dying in about
ten minutes after the wound was inflicted.

Never fails to restore Gray Hair to its originaJ o
our tn a few weeks. Pure, harmless, effective
Prewired bv XANTHINE 00.. Richmond. V
Sold by Purcell, Ladd k Oo..Richmond, Va., and
druggists and country merchants. Price $1 per
bottle.
This incomparable preparation for the Hair is
commended to the public on its own merits.
It prevents the Hair from falling off, producing
a rapid and healthy growth;eradicates scurf and
dandruff, and cures diseases of the scalp. Try it
and judge for yourself.
[From Rev. E. T. Baird, Sec’y of Publication of
Presbyterian Church South.]
Richmond. July 27,1874.
The Xanthine Is the only hair dressing I have
ever used which has removed the dandruff from
the scalp and made my hair sott and pliable. It
has also restored my hair to its natural color; and
by occasionally using it as a hair dressing, I have
no doubt it will preserve the color.
E. T. BAIRD.
[From Rev. Mr. Cameron, Minister of Presbyte
rian Church South.]
Mossy Cbeek. Tenn, Aug. 22, 1876.
Xanthine Cos., Richmond, Va.:
I have used the Xanthine now for three years,
and have induced others to buy it, and have nev
er known it to fail in accomplishing all you
claim for it. It is an excellent tonic, a pleasant
dressing, removing and preventing dandruff and
all unpleasant itching, promoting and preserving
the natural growth and color of the hair, and ren
dering it glossy and pliable. I confidently,
cheerfully, knowingly recommend it.

The following is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune, by the wel
known agriculturist, Solon Robinson: _ ,
All the farmer* were of the “well to do" sort, and some of them, who have turned their attention
to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey,
and surface gently undulating, intersected with small stream* and occasional wet meadow*, iu
which deposits oi peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, after it
has been exhausted of its natural fertility.
It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, In an almost level position, and suitable
condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We f°““d some
of the oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive as when first cleared of foreat fifty or a
hundred years ago.
The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country 1* a
marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substance*, generally in
the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forma of ancient shells, of tbe tertia
ry formation ; and this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted
form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as the farmer desires to
ultivate.
