THE HOARD OF TRADE.
The directory of the board of trade
moots this afternoon and several im?
portant reports will bo presented from
various committees, to bo passed upon
and then brought before tho board of
trado at tho quartorly meeting. One of
tue most important roports will bo that
of tho committee on revision of consti?
tution and by-iawa, who will report one
of tho most comploto and excellent
bases of organization and work pos?
sessed by any commercial organization.
The board of trado of Roanoke is ono
of tho most vigorous and vital bodies
possessod by any city of the South. Its
members are good, strong, lovol-headed
business men, who know what thoy are
about, and who will be apt to got any?
thing thoy ask for and work for. Presi?
dent Deaton has tho happy faculty of
putting the right man in tue right placo
and thus getting particular work out of
the man best fitted for that work.
A .SLIGHT TO SPEAKER CRISP.
A singularly unfortunate and un?
called for slight was administered to
Speaker Crisp at t'uo Reform Club dinner
in New York Saturday night. Presi?
dent-elect Cleveland spoke, but a carv
ful inspection of his remarks failed to
rovoal any pronounced declaration of
position.
Hut the slight roferrod to was in the
ignoring of Speaker Crisp's presence
As the olllcor of tho Government really
ranking next to the* President, as
Speaker of the House in which tariff
reform must originate, remarks from
him on the tariff would seem to bo in
ordpr, but no invitation to speak was
extended him, and he sat sr-eechlesj
through a long and todious banquot,
interspersed with cheers for Cleveland
and anti-snapper speakers.
Naturally a wavo of Indignation is
swoeping ovor tho South that her prom?
inent son should bo thus slighted, and
Speaker Crisp's candidacy for re-olection
is correspondingly strengthened.
.MAYOR TROUT'S VETO.
Mayor Trout's voto of tho electric
light ordinance will be road to-night.
Tin: Times believes that it will be so
clear cut and convincing that council
will not attempt to pa-m tuet ordinance
over the veto. Rut the city wants oloc
tric lights, and Mayor Trout wants tho
city to have them.
Now, let us havo tho thing dono right.
There is one way better than any other:
it Is within tho clear intent and mean?
ing of tho charter, and ought to bo done
-that way, and that is to refer tho wbolo
Bubject to tho board of public works
for a properly prepared plan, and on
their report drafo a careful ordinance
and then let the contract.
The TIMES has satisfactory ovidonce
that a lot of work about tho now jail is
very shabby. Tf Council has a mind to
probo around a bit it will rind some in?
teresting but unsavory information.
An Atltlotlc Exhibition.
Tho Roanoke Athletic Club is now pro
paring for a grand athletic and gym?
nastic exhibition, to bo given on Janu?
ary 7 at ono of the theatres. Thoy pro?
pose that this shall be ono of tho biggest
affairs of tbo kind ovor given in South?
west Virginia. Tho boys are all work?
ing hard, and under the careful super?
vision of Instructor Armstrorg 'here is
?no doubt about their giving a g-.oi ac?
count of t'loms-lves Ono of tho
features of this entertainment will be a
game of basket ball between two picked
teams Among ober things will be

Tho ?w JiiM Kxtremely Cudeolrable as a
l'laco of Koaldeiico.
Tho now jail, although practically
abandoned by tho contractors, tho Manly
Manufacturing Company, to tho city, is
anything but ready for occupan:y. A
t imk3 reporter won through it casually,
cursorily and hastily yesterday. Mo
will not do it again unless ho has to.
Hut iiis hasty journey tevealed Bovoral
(oaturos in which tho jiil will compare
unfavorably with a palace hotel.
In tho tlrtt placo tho cement lojks
like poor stuff. Whoro it is put around
the hatchways a poor j ;b is done.
There is no cribbing to Keep it from
crumbling away, ana crumblo it surely
will.
Tho plumbing, while reasonably well
done, is of the cheapest material, and is
going to provo unsanitary.
Tho sills to the win tows are aap pine;
they aro not oven heart pino. Withlu
a few years they will have to bo takun
out and stone sills used.
Tue Htairs which separate tho jail
from the living quarters of the sergeant
aro so steep on tuo west aide that it is
positively dangorous to walk down
them.
The living tjuartcra might have beeu
given wooden lloors, but tho dreary ce?
ment still goes, whilo overhead aro tho
lireproof arches of cor ruga t1. d iron
The heating apparatus, in a corker. It
does Lot como into tho living quarters
at all. It is a Hue contrivauce, n >t a
steam hoator. One of sotnowhat tho
same kind is in tho Third ward school
house, but unused becauso it is worth
loss.
The Times reporter wants tu be (air
and charitable. Ho went into tho base?
ment when a vigorous Uro was burning
in tho heater, but not a particlo of heat
came out of the registers on tho lloors
above. If tho Hues had been shut oil
thero could not Uavo been less. The
flues may be stopped up in some mysteri
ous way, but if t?oy aro not tho poor
criminals will have a chattering time of
it keepiug warm in cold weather. These
aro not all of tho imperfections, hut
they are enough for one dose.

Ex-Pressman Samuel Dailoy Itrmcinbirs
tlio Editor With a Flue Blackthorn.
Tho polico force of Roanoko will re?
member Samuel Dailey, tho stout Bel?
fast Irishman who used to assist them
In their various raids in tho days whon
Mack Morris woro the big star of the
chief. Dailey was tho pressman of Tub
Tim ks, too, and a bettor one no vor printed
a paper.
Ho married hero a year ago in the
spring, and come fall his vifo went
home to Belfast to visit tho old folks.
Dailoy hung on woll, but boforo Christ?
mas ho got homesick and wild horses
couldn't keep hitn. Ho wont back, but
promised to bring the editor a line
blackthorn shlllelah when ho returned
But alas ho did not return and Tin-:
Tl.mks mourned for Dailey, and the
editor longed for his b.ackthorn shil
lelah, yet was hopo long clelerrod not
to make tho heart, sick, for yesterday
came by mail the tlaoat, biggest, black
Oil, shiniest blackthorn shlllelah that
?vor came out of Ireland. It is tho reg?
ulation length, 22 inchos. and has a
wnito hearted knob on tho end that
will just lay up to tho oyo like a hue to
tho hoart of a honeysuckle.
It is rank of Donnybrook l-'air. It
amella of poteen and cails up the sham
rook. With it by tho side one may
saunter in safety through tho thick of
danger, and smile as he thinks only of
greon lk-lds. bluo lakes, blackoved
girls and likely lads. When it wolts
the (lure yo cant hue help shako your
trottcrH. It knows an honest man from
a villain, and will chaso a snako, crawl?

every pop.
With tho shlllelah camo a letter trooi
William Brown, a Belfast friend of
Dailey's, to whom tho stick was con?
fided, and who promptly maihd it aftor
ho landed, from Holyoke, Mass. Tho
editor may bo seen any bright day dis
playing tho stick.

Tho Alert Kiro Company, at tho

OFFICIAL REPORTING IN FRANCE.
Mow tlio Spocclioit la 41io l'liiinil>?r of
Deputies Aro Recorded.
Fifty-one enndidntes nssembleel a few
days ago at the Palais-Bourbon to compete
for ono of the vacant posts in the steno?
graphic corps of the clinmber. Their ex?
amination furnishes the occasion to say a
word upon tho ingenious service which
permits everybody to assist at tbe legisla?
tive debates while seated at borne in his
armchair.
Tho first serious applicnt ion of stenog?
raphy for tli'.- reproduction of parliament?
ary debates dates back as far as 1830. One
of tiie few surviving reporters of this time
is M. Lugaehe, who was for nearly fifty
years attached to the official services. His
compatriots of the Oiso sent him to tho
senate in 1870. His colleague was M. Flo
eon, minister of commerce in 1848.
Abrontl a considerable number of cele?
brated men began life iu this modest pro?
fession. Iu ICiiglimd we find Charles Dick?
ens, l.oril Campbell and .lohn Payne Col?
lier.
Tbe verbatim report published by The
Ofllciel is the result of a division of work
curried to its extreme limits, not on ac?
count ( f the fatigue which it occasions, but
on nceottnt of the necessity to .nivc the
speeches to the printers about, as soon as
they are pronounced. Twelve stenogra?
phers succeed each ot her every t wo mill
ul es ut the foot of t he tribune. The edit?
ing in clear style of eaeh one of these
"takes" requires from eight toten times
as much time its the ??take'' itself. When
it- is terminated tbo stenographer returns
tot lie desk to "take"' for two more minutes,
and so on to the end of the session, which
is completely written out about twenty
minutes after the adjournment.
Another stenographer called the "re?
viser'''takes check notes for a quarter of
an hour, iu order to have n clear under?
standing of tlio discussion, so that ho can
dovet :ii I t he takes of his colleagues ami Jill
iu i he gaps.
In addition to the embarrassment of the
man who, after having assisted at the dis?
cussion, for example, of an interpolation
upon the Dahomey question, returns after
twenty minutes to bear a discussion on
something else, there is the difficulty and
often the impossibility of following some
orators. M. Dcroulede, for instance, is "un
tnkuble" for most stenographers on ace unit
of tbo irregularity nnd the rapidity of his
utterance, which attains the maximum of
human force, 840 words a minute, while
the average rate of speed is 180 words, and
represents seventeen or eighteen lines of
Tbe Ofllciel. M. Clemenceau is also very
difficult, while M. de Freyeinet and M.
Rouvier spare the reporters by their uni?
formity.
The reviser is also charged with the cor?
rect ion of the proofs, and his work is some?
times prolonged until 4 o'clock in tho
morning, owing to the alterations in man?
uscript of the speakers,who often go be?
yond tbo delay of midnight allowed t hem
by the rule. It is, however, Iiis duty to
suppress all abusive corrections or altera?
tions, and to give tho matter its final re?
vision.
Tbo recruiting of the stenographers is
extremely difficult. The competent men
an- so rare that the chamber has been
obliged to extend the age for admission to
the competitive examinations to forty-five
years. The salary varies from4,000 to 8,000
francs. The work is very arduous. It re?
quires a tension of the mind which it is
difficult to form an Idea of, and during
the last few years there, occurred in tho
staff ot the clinmber four oases of mental
failure and two cases of blindness. It, is
hardly necessary to add that a considerable
number of these valuable functionaries
must, pay their tribute to the writers'
ci ainp.?Paris Figaro.
Rnmlioo Poisoning.
The bamboo, the reeds of which are use?
ful in so ninny ways, is used by the Jap?
anese us a means with which they wreak
bit tor vengeance on offenders and enemies,
for it contains a poison of a terribly de?
structive nature, which causes a slow and
painful dentil and is all the more perni?
cious us it can he Administered in a man?
ner t lint defies del eel ion.
The powerful poison is found close to
tho knots of tho bamboo reed in the form
of sharp black fibrous threads, which can
be easily removed with a knife, a piece of
glass or any other cutting instrument.
Mixed with water or food they are ab?
sorbed without being noticed, and they
settle at once in the throat or other air
passages, which they commence to ob?
struct, producing n wretched cough and
inllalllIllation, which ends in tuberculosis
and other mortal diseases of the lungs
and throat, with ultimate death. Proofs
of this were obtained in experimenting
with It dog. The symptoms were as fol?
lows: Loss of appetite, increasing thirst,
cough and expectoration, loss of flesh,
protruding eyes, manifest, anxiety and op?
pression, with death following in a short
time.?Chicago Mail.
Unemployed Army Officers.
Attention is again being drawn to tho
excessive number of our general officers.
It. seems (hat. up to the present (Into we
have 1,038 generals, of whom JtMi are 're?
tired" from the British army, lifo are ?'re?
tired'' or "unemployed" on the Indian list
and 374 '?retired'' from t lie Indian swiff
corps. There are some (KM) or TOO who aro
not really generals, but have retired with
honorary rank, yet t hey are all drawing
pay of some sort, direct ly or indirectly, ou
the ground of past services.
According to General T. E. Knox there
are on the British list six field marshals
who do nothing, fifteen generals, forty-four
lieut enant generals, um major generals,and
eighteen local and temporary major gener?
als who are unemployed, but drawing
some sort of pay all the same.?London

Kurly Ap-plicnlloii of the Clepsydra.
Tiie earliest application of the clepsydra
principle to prixluce motion was by Tsiang
Hung, A.D. 1-0, who made an "orrery"
representing the apparent motion of tlio
heavenly bodies around the earth, which
was kept, going by dropping water.
In the .Sixth century of the Christinn era
an instrument was in use iu China which
indicated the course of time by the weight
of water as it gradually came from the
beak of a bird and was received in a vessel
on a balance, every pound representing a
one-hundredth part of the day of twenty
four hours. About this t ime mercury be?
gan to be employed in clepsydras instead
of water.?Boston tilobe.
Tho Rest I'eriod of Life.
The best half of life is in front of tho
man of forty if bo be anything of a man.
Tin- work he will do will be done with the
hand of a master and not of a raw appren?
tice. Tho trained intellect, does not "SCO
men as trees walking," but. sees everything
clear and in just measure. The trained
temper docs not rush at work like a blind
bull at a haystack, but advances with tho
calm and ordered pace of conscious pow?
er and deliberate determination.?Vick's
