An Old Negro woman, slave, who is well

An Old Negro Woman, slave, who is well
cared for by her owner, and whose chief occupa-
ton consists in smoking on the premises erected
especially for her comfort came very near being
burned to death on Saturday morning In lighting
her pipe, she dropped the flaming match on her
clothes; but, fortunately. some of the children of
the household of her mistress happened to be near
at the time, and gave the aged servant the benefit
of shower-bath. This douehe averted all danger.
Another confagration on a small scale occurred
on Capitol Hill last Saturday night; the clothes in
wardrobe or closet having taken fire from a
chimney fue. An early alarm resulted in quick
suppression of the flames.
And on Sunday morning early, the stable or
barn of Mr.. Holldge, in the northern part of the
city, was burned to the ground; but as there was
no old black woman smoking her pipe in occu-
pancy, and as there was no chimney fue there.
abouts, the delagraton must be attributed to some
other source.

Erostation.- afternoon, Mr.. Elliott, the
intrepid @ronaut, should the weather permit, will
make an ascent from the hippodrome building,
Judiciary square. The daring feat is not an ex-
pertinent with this gentleman. For twenty years
past, and in almost every city Of the Union, he
taken his erial fight, and trusted himself to the
tickle elements. Such ascents have led TO many
philosophical discoveries, and the currents of air
in the upper regions through them have been de-
termined and understood. BY his ascension from
Baltimore last autumn, an important discovery
was made, and theory of long existence was
refuted, viz: that the air moves with greater
velocity near the surface of The earth than in high
attitudes. On this occasion, when Mr. Elliott left
terra firma, breeze was blowing at the rate of
ten or twelve miles per hour, Transporting him
directly over the Chesapeake bay, which he i'm
agned would be an unsuitable "landing-pace.n
He threw overheard ballast TO enable the balloon
to rise, where he hoped to enter gentle counter
current, which would carry him in reverse direc
ton, but his surprise was great when he found,
at a distance of four miles from the earth, that
the commencement was carrying him at the rate
of over one hundred miles per hour; and in his
descent, ninety miles from his starting place, the
wind was blowing from the same quarter and
with the same gentle force as il was at Baltimore
when he started.

however, it has greatly increased. We do

OF six hundred thousand persons deriving .

more. This is only what the interest is +,

The amount invested in iron castings, In oil

II should DO borne in mind, in estimating
the worth of this interest, that million in
manufactures means far more than million
trade. We say that the commerce OF a
town is worth a hundred millions a year ;
that is, that goods to The amount OF hun.
dred millions ANNUALLY change hands there.
But how much Of this is profit In other
words, how much wealth does this hundred
millions leave behind, in passing through
tho place About ten per cent, certain.
ly no mons. That is 10 say city,
with trade Of hundred millions, is en-
riched to the extent Of ten millions only by
that trade. But in manufactures, nll is
profit, except the cost of the raw material.
The raw cotton, for exomple, which costs
in Manchester dollar, is enhanced in value
ten, twenty, or even n hundred fold by the
processes It passes through there and the
whole OF this enhancement is added TO the
wealth Of Manchester, or at least Of Eng.
land. A town, which should have manu-.
featured hundred millions annually. would
make profit of probably ninety millions: =
This profit, it Is true, would DO divided be-
tween the factor, the capitalist, tho owner
OF the factory, and the operatives OF oil kinas
in the manufacture; but' never
theless, in the aggregate, these various
persons would actually earn that much
money, by increasing tho value Of the raw
fabric to that extent.
Apply this fact to the iron interest. Tho
b,tal annual product Of the iron manuiac.
lure. rs VIC have already said is, in round
numbers, Gfty.fyo millions. Now, as the
