A dispatch from Lexington sajs: A negro woman on Dr. Colquitt's place, six miles from town, locked her three children up in the house and went visiting. On her return late at night she discovered that the house had caught fire and burned to : the ground. Her three children were burned o death. Thia makes the third time such afire, simi lar in all respects, has occurred in this eounty. Tka Praaa ti Bnm. Norfolk Virginian (dem): "The document will add to his reputation for courage, consistency, and inflexi ble integrity , . Richmond State, (dem): "One of the most statesmanlike: papers that have aver come from the hand of a Chief Executive of this country. It is filled with sage adnce and pro phetic warning." ' Richmond Dispatch ! (dem): "He talks uncommonly well. He etates his points with ringing clearness, and indulges in some excellent rhetoric. The tariff has been hung up for four years; out Mr. uieveiana is so xuii oi it, and so sure he is right, that he grows eloquent in denouncing the wrongs of protection." j LMfTttr la 1900. Although the year 1900 will be di visible by four without a remainder, it will not be leap year. Twelve years must elapse before the interesting event takesplaoe, bat ifcjwu just the I aauie w iouv auu iiw,: uui uui is I 1600, for that was a leap year, and the year 2000 will be a leap year also. Why this should be is a problem. To explain in detail would be a tiresome task, but it rests on the principle that a difference of 11 minutes per day ex ists between actual time and calendar time. Thus a year is computed at 365 days, three yean being 365 days long and the fourth year 366 days. In fact the year is 365 days, .5 hours and 45 minutes 1 long, j or 11 min utes short j of 365i ! days. The leap year i every four years is id tto hare been an Invention of Julius Cassar'avH To allow, for thia difference of eleven minutes per year, one leap year was dropped every nun- drerl years. But this was found not to be exact, and Pope Gregory Xm in 1582 made an improvement and de creed that every centnrial year divisi ble by four j: should be ;a Ie-oyear. Thus, by omitting the leaM lar for three centurial years and Kting it remain as usual on the fourth centu rial year, a system is obtained so close that it would take thousands of years to make up another day's difference in time. The' calendar time is still not exact mathematically, but as no change will " be necessary for 4,000 years, it will not fall to the share of the present generation to correct the discrepancy, Rutland (Vt) family while eat ing dinner discovered a small tin box in tne centre of the batter, it was opened and found to contain a "re minder to some unmarried Christian gentleman of his duty.T The note good-looking and an excellent house keeper."
