with shipments Of brandy to the colon les and

system Is to buy up empty brandy casks. bear

to caution their correspondents against the re-

The practice alluded to above has found
imitation on this side Of the Atlantic. As

fne-grown, handsome woman, taller by a
couple of inches than her mother, and Carry
ing hsrseli with the ease and grace of woman
hood. Her face is perfectly lovely. The
regularity of Ter features are perfect. Her
eyes are large aud full of intelligence, impart-
ing 10 her face that sort of merry aspect which
indicates good humor. The nose and mouth
are delicately and exquisitely formed, the
latter giving the effect Of great sweetness.
The princess is more like her father than her
mother. She is like the Queen in nothing
but the nose. In all other respects she is a
female image Of her father. Her Majesty
begins TO wear matronly aspect. She be-
comes slightly stout too, and looks much
Ike the Duchess Of Kent. Prince Alberps

Buchanan and tn e D emocracy of viz
Rinia.

The following article from the Bic rnond
Eeqairer, diecloses a fact that is weli worth
recording Virginia has clung to BUCHANAN
with tenacity of purpose and unyleldmg
affection that is as creditabe 10 her as it
must be gratifying 70 the favorite son OF the
Keystone State. She has given the b@st tes-
timonia Of her friendship that it was in her
power to bestow. The character or JAa1gs
BUCHASAS is a sufficient guaranty that the
confidence of the Democracy of the "Old
Dominion" has not been misplaced;
In the support Of James Buchanan. the De
mocracy Virginia have DISPLAYED fidelity
Of friendship. 10 which there is no parallel il
the history of parties. In four successive con-
ventions, from 1874 to lss6. he received the
unanimous vote of tho representatives of this
State. In the Baltimore Convention of 1852.
Virginia clung TO him for thirty four ballots not
did she desert him until his own State despair
ed Of his nomination.
With chivalric consiancy CT devotion, the
Democracy Of Virginia again rallied TO the sup
port Of their fzyorire Sra'%sauan ths (oatsfs I
lion OF 1856; and this time they adhered 10 his
fortunes, until he was declared the candidate Of
the party.
such an etteStaion Oh cohHochce from tue
Democracy of Virginia vindicates the political
character Of James Buchanan from the cspiious
criticism Of personal prejudice. II is idle To
pretend 10 disirust the soundness Of a States
man, in whom the Democracy OF Virginia recog
ni.e a worthy representative Of thoir scrupulous
fidelity to principle.
Graiified, at last in their long cherished as

Gold and Silver In the World.

A Russian Counsellor of State has recently
published a work styled, "Gold and Silver
their origin, and the amount extracted from
all countries Of the known world, from the
most remote times till the year 1865" The
following particulars are Of interest
The amount of gold and silver annually
taken from the mines of Europe. including
Russia, is 20,S05 kilogrammes Of the former,
(27-10 pounds to the kilogramme) and l61,-
444 kilogrammes of the latter, valued togeth-
er at S25,co0O00.
In America, including Califonis, the annu-
al product is 169,834 kiiogrsmmes Of gold
and 735, 180 kilogrammss Of silver, worth,
in all, 81 100000.
10 Asia, the annual product Is 200 kilo-
grammes of gold, and 10000 OF silver,
amounting in value to S22,000,0O0.
In Africa, no silver mines are wrou8h6
and only 1920 kilogrammes Of gold are pro-
-duced, valued at 100000.
Australia, too, yields no silver but the
annual product of gold amounts to 200, $50
kilogrammes, valued at $500. 100000.
Sum total in all parts of the world, 510, :
1919 kilogammes of gold, and l ,026. .624 kill
ogranmes of silver. valued together at $685.
100000 francs, or over S397.oO0OOO The
whole sum extracted from the earliest times
up to the present will amount to 15. "a. $50
kiiogrsmmes of gold and 254 ,4lo. ITO Of sil-
vor, worth together something mere than
s20,536,OOO, 600.
The annual production of the precious
metals at the present time is enormous. At
the present rate, we gain more in ffty years
than our ancestors did in City centuries.
The annual increase of gold and silver for
the period of three years ending 1881 more
than doubled that of any previous year
amounting to Col, 600, 900 frames and in the
last four years ending 1856 it has increased
nearly 160 per cent. and now amounts to
l,692, ,651. .e5i francs, or $SIS, ,526, $50.
America has furnished more gold and sill.
ver--iouble the amount-than Europe, AZ
r:ca and Australia put together and only
SD,0O0OO less than Asia has furnished
since the beginning of the world.

RELIGIOUS The Ladef,sadsns, of the pros
ent week, puts forth the following predic-
ton and malediction
Let no one be surprised if the war of the
bludgeon and the revolver upon free speech,
covertly begun in the Senate, should break
out openly in the House Of Representatives
If the bloody threats of Brooks and his al
lies shall be put in execution--if other North
ern men shall be assaulted for freedom of
speech In debate-the question whether the
Federal Government shall yield 20 brute
force must be determined upon tho instant
And it iOH be determined Let the blood
of Northern men again flow in the Capitol,
and " ashington would not contain the men
who would pour in upon it from the North
and West to vindicate the right of speech.
Let another such blow as has fallen upon
Sumner, be inflicted upon Northern repre-
sentative, and within twenty-four hours, New
York and Boston, Connecticut and Massl-
chusetts, Maine and Ohio, will rush to arms
for the defence of freedom at Washington"
Well, another case has occurred at Wash
ington. Not exactly such case-because
the speaker was beaten to death instead of
being BADLY wounded-because no was a
Democrat instead of an Abolitionist-and
because he was private citizen instead OF
being a member Of the Senate. II differed
also in this, that the provocation was much
less than in the case of Mr.. Summer. Owen
Qulgley only shouted "Hurrah for Magru.
DER" the Democratic candidate for Mayor,
as he passed Know Nothing and his COM
panions in one Of the streets of Washington
and for this he was beaten and kicked tc

but it cost him his life. Yet no public meet.
ings have b4en hold in consequence, nor is il
proposed to redress the wrong by general
rush of the North and West to Washington

now published daily, remarks upon the Or
ganization of the Legislature
The vote in the House for Speaker indicates
the strength of parties there. Every member
was present, 3l4 in number, although but 3l2
votes were cast. We suppose neither Of the
candidates voted. The Democrats cast l47
votes. Add Mr.. Herbert, and it gives them l4S.
This is two less than we claimed at the time OF
the election, and two more than any Of the op-
position papers conceded to sand six or seven
more than most Of them gave us Compared tc
our vote last year, it presents a very encourag.
ing prospect for the Democracy. Our candi-
date then received bat SO votes, while the oppo
sition cast a22. Our vote ID now raised 10 l4S
and the opposition reduced to 1865, showing an
increase Of sc to the Democrats. and a loss o
the same number to the opposition. or Demo
cratic net gain of 100 The opposition major
ity was then 40 now it is but Is. Another
such a victory by our opponents will put then

up towards the top two feet every day, and
falls back three every night. How long will
u take him, at that rate, to get out ?" The
