The difference between the two Vil- lages, far from being that between the state’ of unalloyed bliss and that of eternal torment, is very little. In fact, neither lives up to its name, though, 1f the people are like others elsewhere, the one with the shorter and uglier name probably makes a better stab at it than the other. The people of the two villages apparently recognize the inappropriateness of the names, and because some of them think them pro- | rane and others think them ridiculous | the attempt at change is to be made. | May it succeed, and. if they are seek- ing good substitutes, we suggest, free, | gratis and for nothing, that Little | Heaven petition the Legislature to e it the name of Little Richmond, | and that Little Hell retain the original | idea under the changed name by pre- | fixing the diminutive to the word Bal- more or Norfolk.—Richmond (Va.)
