A Meeting Yesterday Alter noon for Their Relief. The recent cold weather and the snow of yesterday lias caused much suffering among the poor of this city, many of whom appealed to Mayor Andrews and the chief of police for assistance. Some of the cases were so urgent that the mayor decided to call the overseers of tho poor together to consult with them upon the situation. Accordingly Chief of Police Dyer was instructed to have them notified to meet at City Engineer Wiugate's oflico at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon in order that an understanding might he reached be? tween the overseers aud mayor and chief of police, hy which tho worthy poor could be assisted, while at the same time the city might he protected from impostors. Accordingly ivt the hour named a meet? ing was held in the city engineer's office, over which Mayor Andrews presided, mid the following officers of the city were present: City Engineer Wlngate, Chief of Police Dyer, Overseers of the Poor Watts, of the First ward; Mitchell, of the Sec? ond; Fox. of tho Third: Drown, of the Fourth; and Hudson, of the Fiftn. After a conference of half an hour or more a system was devised by which, with the co operation of the mayor and chief of police, tho overseers of the poor will provide food and fuel for such per? sons as arc actually in need of assistance. The prompt action of the mayor and chief of police in this matter id highly commendable and substantial benefits to the suffering poor of the city are sure to follow their hearty co-operation with the overseers of the several wards of the city in their measure of relief.

The Richmond correspondent of tht Petersburg Index-Appeal in that papei of yesterday says: The contest, over the nom? ination of the Democrats for attorney general is likely to be as interesting as that for the gubernatorial nomination. In fact, strange as it may appear, the nominee for governor may be practically chosen as the result, of the other contest. There will Im?, perhaps, a dozen candidates for attorney-general, among them Major Scott, the incumbent; .lodge Rhea, of Bristol; Win. A. .T. Montague, of Dan? ville; Major F. R. Lassiter, of Peters? burg; Gen. George .1. Hundley, of Ame? lia; II. V. Btrayer, of Rockingham, and others. HE LOST A FORTUNE. Or, "Tliere Are Momenta When One Wants t<> Ik Alone," A middle sized man, with a gray mustache and a red tie hitched up on his collar, walked through the restau? rant, nodding to acquaintances here and thery. As ho stopped at the cashier's desk a man who was seated at a table noticed him, aud, leaning across to his vie-a-vis, said, "Captain S-, United Status postal inspector and grand official catcher of green goods men." "Yes?" with interest from the man across the table. "Sure. I have always regarded him | with a peculiar affection. Heeamu very near making mo a rich man once?in fuct, almost, made a wealthy citizon of me?dp well to dp. tlmt I won hi nuver have had to work again. " "How was that?" with a shade of incredulity. "This way: About a year ago the captain superintended a grand haul of green goods men. The firm which be raided was tho largest, perhaps, in the country aud had unlimited capital. They had packages of good money to catch suckers with, and this money, amounting to over $150,000, was cap? tured and placed in a big satchel by the captain. I called on him for details of the story that afternoon. Ho was nlouci in the office. There were three of us? tho captain, myself and tho satchel. Ho opened the satchol and showed me wealth beyond my wildest dreams. J hated to loave tho beautiful vision." And the narrator sighed deeply. "Well," said his friend, "I don't see how that was anything like making yon a rich man." "You don't? Well, let mo toll you this: If the captain had turned his back for just six seconds I would have been a rich man immediately. Rut ho never turned, ami I had to go away again as poor as when I came." Aud with another bitter, heartrending sigh ho watched tho inspector stroll out into tho streut.?Chicago News. The riauxiule Lie. We resent calumny, hypocrisy and treachery because they harm us, not hc oauso they are untrue. Take tho detrac? tion and the mischief from tho untruth, und wo are little offended by it. Turn it into praise, and wo may be pleased with it. And yet it is not calumny aud treachery that do tho largest sum of mischief in tho world. They uro contin? ually crushed and are felt only in being conquered. But it is tho glistening and softly spoken lie, the amiable fallacy, the patriotic 1 io of the historian, tho provident lie of the politician, the zeal? ous lie of the partisan, the merciful lie of tho friend and tho careless lie of each man to himself that cast that black mystery over humanity through which we thank any man who pierces, as wo would thank ouo who dug a well in a desert.
