railroad matters. If so, it mint be upon
tho principle that " habit ia second

have become no habitual to the farmers of
R/ickingham, and even more Southerly
o Alexandria is nearly the length of a
imilar line from Harrisonburg to Rich
mond ; from Alexandria to Baltimore
nearly ouc-half the distance from Har
risonburg to Alexandria ; while tho dis
tance from Richmond to the copes is ab .ut
one-halt the distanco from Baltimore to
the capes. Then what makes Baltimore
tho " natural market" for the Valley ?
Baltimore capital, enterprise, and far
seeing, but superlatively selfish, liberality.
"All roads lead to Rome," said the old
monks ; and all roads must lead to Balti
more, or tho "Monumental City" will have
nothing to do with them. She has studied
commercial science, aud having ascertained
that exchange of commodities is tho
irofitable clement in commerce, and
hat the point of exchange is the
place to realize that profit, she has
bent all her talent, capital and energy to
make Baltimore the place where the rich
prcducts of Virginia shall be exchanged.
Mntil Richmond, and her outpost Nor
ro prepared to offer to the producer 5
v Virgiuia equal facilities for exchange o'
orumodities, as Baltimore docs, they wil
naturally seek that more distent point
nd Richmond bo a mere way-station on
:ie route. Millions of tons of freight
lassing over Virginia territory, in keked
ars, on untaxed railroads, she has em
arrased herself to construct, operated by
apital borrowed otitsiele the State a

'ho pipe is needed as aconduit; but it must
>c tapped and jat out its conteuts, before
t can fructify. If Richmond sils with
olded hands, while Baltimore is so energe
ic, the remarkable, fulfilled prophecy o

A Myatertou* Attempt at Poisoning.
The Newark (N. J.) Courier, of Tliurs
ay evening, Bays:
Last Saturday uight, about 10 o'clock,
as Mrs. Gaffney, bridge-tender of the Wil
ow street bridge in Tienton, was preparing
'or bed, she heard a knock at the door and
answered it. A youug man confronted her,
laving a large cake in his hand, which bo
said had been sent as a New Year's present
or the daughter, a young woman of eigh
een years, who was sleeping on the sotte*.
Idrs. Gaffney asked the youug man to come
nto tlie houso, but he declined, saying that
ie had merely been made tho bearier of the
jresent.
Mrs. Gaffney, supposing that some one
>ad remembered her widowhood with a
New Year's gift, called her daughter, and
they proceeded to cut open the maguificeut
cake. In the centre was a plug of a
strange compouud, which the mother
tasted with the tip of her tongue. She
was shortly after seized with pains aud
sickness and remained ill for houis. Tbe
cake was put away, aud Mrs. Gaffuey
ireserved silence regarding tho occurrence,
yhe anxiously waited to see if she could
iod the young mau who brought the cake;
jut, failing in that, she took the cake to a
ittiggist's in the city, who told her that it
was poisonous iv the highest degree, and
that a very little of it would cause death.
Tho affair has created no little sensaliou
among [the neighbors and friends of the
widow,*who has beeo engaged some time
iv litigation to secure her rightful share of
Property under her husband's will,
.'bether the cake was intended to poisoD
only the daughter, or to remove all belong
ing to the widow from the World, remaius
a secret thus far, as the most careful in
vestigation fails to discover the young man
who brought the cake.
A good story is told of a rather verdant
agricultural laborer, who, having by hook
i aud crook scraped together fifty dollats,
| took it to his employer, with a request to
I take charge of it for him. A year alt. r,
the laborer wont to another friend to know
what would be the Interest on it. He was
told three dollars. "Well," Mid ho, "1
wish you would leud tne thrfM dollars for
a day or two. My boss has been keeping
filty dolUrs for DM v year, and I want to
pay him tl» iuterest for it."

south of Pari- 1 , commenced, on Wednes
day, the bombardment of the entrench
ments at Villejuif aud Pout-du-jotir, five
miles south of the city, and foils L*sy,
Vanvres aud Moutroin'o, about the same
ilift.tnec in a south westerly direction. The
at'stck was continued on Thursday, Friday
aud Saturday, and the result up to the day
last mentioned was tho sileuce of forts Issy
and Vanvres, two of the most important
of tho detached defences of Paris. A
London dispatch repoits that Fort Itosoy
had also been rendered practically useless
through the destruction of its casemates
by the German gout. The principal Ger
man battelies southwest of Paris are situ
ated at and near Clamatt, within easy
range of the forts opposed to their fire,
aud iuto which they thtow shot weighing
twenty-four aud shells weighing sixty-five
pounds. Telegrams from Versailles Fri
day refer to tho silencing of the above
forts as merely a "temporary" result ol
the bombardment, ihe attack on the
forts west of Paris is momentarily ex
pected, tho heavy batteries of the besieg
ers at and near Meudon being now ready
for use. The latest advices from within
Paris are to the 4th, up to which time the
damage nnd losses from tho bombardment
of the defences had been slight. It waa
believed, however, that there waa dagger
of a riot in the city.
The German losses iv the battles with
the French army of the North near
Bapaume are variously estimated at from
3,000 to 9,000 ; those of the French at
4,000 men.
On Friday the Germans attacked several
of the positions occupied by the French
army of tho Lire, between Li Louppe
and Vendeme, aud succeeded in carrying
them;but at uUht the latter to k th;offen
sive and acoordhlß to a Bordeaux tHepati b,
re-occupied them all and entered St.
Arnaud, tho Germaus retiring towards
Vendome, leaving many woundd and
prisoners. King William describes this
affair as an engagement with the advanced
posts of tho army of the Loire, in wbich
the Germans were victorious. He also
aunounces tho capture of Rocmy, fit'tten
miles northest of Meziwcs, with a large
quantity of supplies. Chauzy's forces at
Lo Louppe and vendome are said to num

The Theatre—Murder tf .' iihtlieit —We
have witnessed many very bnld attempts npon
the life of tbe great French minister, but none
•o completely successful as tbat made by -Mr.
McKeat. Buchanan last night. We have do
patience with such charlatanism and preten
sinn -or rather, such ignorant assumption. Is
it possibl" tbat Mr. Buchanan does not know
be is not an acoi ? Hare none ot bis friends
bad tbe courage to tell him that he bas mis
taken bis calling ? .Never before has tbe in
telligence of liicbmond received sucb a shock,
and been so disgusted. The coming of this
acor was heralded a week in advance, and the
people were prepared for his "excellent com
pany" by the most extraordinary kind of news
paper puffery. We ball' suspected, when we
saw it laid en so thick in advance, that the
reputation of the whole concern was entirely
on paper, and in this we were not far out of tbe
way, Tbe puffing had tbe desired effect of
filling the bouse with an intelligent, apprecia
live, and fashionable audience—veiy few of
whom, wo fear, will be induced to honor the
performances of this sort of "legitimate
drama" again.
It is useless fo? ua to undertake to criticise
the leading utter of this occasion, for he failed
to make a single good or pleasing point
Ih-iiiijiliiut tbe great play, which was most
horridly rendered from beginning to er.il by
every member of the company, save and ex
cept tbe page Francois, who acted her part
very bccoaiiuglv indeed. There was not an
other actor on the stage who yvas equal to the
post assigned him. To bring such a company
before a liicbmond audience, whose nice appre
ciation of dramatic excellence is proverbial,
was a gross outrage upon tbeir taste and judg
ment. We never saw such fuseiness and gro
ti-squi ness in an actor before as was exhibited
by Richelieu last night. All dignity was sacri
ficed, and we had a mere drivelling old Panta
loon, making mouths, mumbling to himself,
winking clownishlv, aid «pam,odically
stamping about the stage,—while tho words be
uttered wire so mouthed that all the effect of
Bulwer's line dialogue was lost. Richelieu
will play itself in judicious hands even with
the mere reading; but we were denied that
pleasure—it was so mouthed, so badly deliv
ered, and cut to pieces or destroyed by repeti
tions. I!ut why continue the tenible store.
Horreeco referent.
Tho crowning act of stupidity was reached
when the curtain fell upon the lourth act. At
tbe grand inhibition of tho power of mother

draws tbe holy circle and hurls the curse of
Home against any who might dare to desecrate
tbat which it protected, the audience burst
forth in a rapture of applause. It waa the
sentiment they applauded mainly; but we will
freely admit that for tbe moment tbe actor
did seem equal to the great occasion, and we
were about terming a better opinion of him,
when he was called out and ask-id for a speech.
| lie mjde it, and that speech finished the work
he had so well begun iv the play. After thank
ing th. audience for their presence aud tbe
appreciation they had shown for the legitimate
drama as represented by himself and company, I
he proceeded to advertise his whole bill lor tbe
week, much after the manner of a showman in
a country town. We thought the house
I would have exploded with suppressed laugh
ter, when the actor, standing thero between two
grand acts of a highly poetic tiageuy,
gravely inlorined the public that to-morrow
evening be would appear in " Hamlet,
ihe Prince of Denmark;" and "on Satui
j day afternoon," he continued, * there will be a
matinee, on which occasion a play called 'Loa
ds* Assurance,' considered ono of the most
amusing in the language, will be played.
Price ol admission fori// cents—children am
servants half price." And this in front of tba
ugly advertising sheet of a curtain I One wa
worthy of the oher, and both approriate t
the occasion. The idea of telling the peoplo o
Itichmond what kind of a play "London As
sarsnee" is, was about as big a piece of
assurance as we have seen in Richmond.
But it is useless to waste words. We care
not what tho London Time*, or the New Yoik
Herald, or any either journal with a great
reputation, may think or say about it, Mr.
Buchanan's acting will not suit tbe cuhivatcd
tastes of a Richmond audience; and his com
pany is the worst we have had this season.
A Receipt for Happiness. —lt is simply
this: when you rise in the morning, to form
the resolution to make the day a happy ono tv
a fellow-creature. It can easily bo done with
out much inconvenience ; a left-nil garment to
the man who needs it; a kind word to the sor
rowful ; an encouraging expression to the
afflicted; all trifles ia themselves, as light as
air. If you are young, depend upon it that it
will tell when you are old ; and il you are old,
rest assured it will send you gently and bap
pily down the stream of time to eternity.
Look at the result. You send one person, only I
one, happily through the day. That is three
hundred and sixty-five in the cource ot a year; I
and suppose you live forty years only alter
you commence this good work, you wiil have
the satisfaction of having made i'oui teen tanu
sand six hundred beings happy at least for a
season. Now, worthy readers, is not this
We do not often indulge in a moral dose, but
this being so small a pill that no one needs
curiam jelly to disguise its flivor, and requires

Andrew J. Byrne ran several years since
one of the largest distiller',-s in the third in
ternal revenue district of Virginia. Tbe es
i itiii.-iui;m was owner' by tbe late William B.
Jones, who waa responsible for alt of Byrnes'
11.' .-. As such agent, Byrnes paid the United
States government hundreds of thousands ol
dollars in internal revenue- imposts; also, city I
and State taxes innumerable. Iv tact, taxes I
of different sorts were so numerous, that the
distillery was kept busily employed all the
time tryiug to earn the money to pay them.
Finally Byrne got tired of working for a 1
ce.mitiu.ie valgus who did not appreciate his
etl'.i. is, and so one day resisted tbe demands
ot tbe sheriff who visited him with a re- |
quest for an additional donation in favor of
the Stste. The sheriff took him in custody
and Byrne took measures to relievo himself of
tbe trouble by appealing to the Supreme court
of Virginia. The case came on yesterday, aud
tbat court decided that tbe sheriff was right,
and remanded Byrne to his custody. We
understand that Mr, Byrne has been in France
i .i-■■n:r..l months past, we believe in Paris.
The sheriff will have a warm time iv exhum
ing him fi inn the remains of that magnificent
Police Court. — The following cases
