The Album of Virginia.

| This magnificent work, tho progress Of which
wo have noticed from time to time, as the different
volumes made their appearance is now completed,
and offered to tho public in separate Sheets in
bound volumes. or with backs and lids, ready pre-
pared and elegantly cmblasoncd on the front lid,
No that they 10 bound readily, and at far less
cost than if tho binder had to prepare a single
cover.
There are in all ffty-ono views chiefly of the
most prominent and interesting localities in tho
State; tho two representing the sublime scenery
at liarpers Ferry, being tho best delineations of
that worldrcnownod spot that we hive ever seen.
There also, two striking representations OF the
Natural Bridge, and two beautiful landscape
scenes MS they appear to the eye of the spectator
from tho magnificent Peaks of Otter The view
of tho Peaks themselves being that which we have
often admired, when standing in tho vicinity Of
Hopkins farm. near Liberty. the point at which
the view taken by the artist.
The illustrated title page, representing manu-
fractures and commerce, the coat OF arms Of IL
gna, and those two spots, dear to every patriotic
son Of the Old Dominion; Mount Vernon aud Mon
ticello--is, especially, worthy OF admiration.
All the celebrated Springs of Virginia are here
illustrated, that We have mapped before us tho
various points Of attraction in each Of these inter
esting localities. which destined to engage so
large share of the public attention.
We consider that Mr.. Boyer, the talented artist
whom we have before alluded to rs graduate
of tho Dusseldorf Aeadcmy--has laid Vrginians
under special contribution for his efforts to illus
ltratc and make known the unriyalled scenery of
Virginia, and deserves to he literally ratronized.
lie will remain in this city for several days, and
we trust that our citizens will not be slow to in T.
cate their high appreciation Of his great work -
We cannot conclude without usSr'ins that the
press everywhere in Virginia, have spoken in the
highest terms Of the Album of Virginia"

General Walker.

The Paris correspondent of the Now York
Times in his last letter tells curious story about
. rumor which has been circulating in the French
capital for some time previous. 1t was to the cf-
feet that Gen. William Walker was not an Amor
lean ut ALL rs be claimed to be-but was an expa-
triated Frcnclman. who had assumed the namo Of
Walker for the purpose Of avoiding detection !!
The story runs thus: In 1917 n certain Mon
sieur G., a gentleman Of high family, and an
aid-ie camp Of the Duke De Nemours, was caught
cheating at cards in a distinguished circle at
Chantilly, and was obliged. in consequence there
Of, to fee the country. 1t was reported at first
that he went to Mexico, and died there But, re-
Gently, rumor came to Paris, from source con-
sdered authentic, that Monsieur g. had not died
in Mexico as reported that the famous Amer
lean "fllibu.ter" was the same individual fSur-
ing under the modest and unprctending alias Of
William Walker
This cdnard, the Times corresp ,ndent adds, was
believed By all Paris. But the truth Of the matter
IT, that Monsieur G. never came to America n, all.
but after wandering about in Africa, fd5ooed
wherever the story Of his offence was known, he
finally died at some obscure place in Asia.
Gen. Walker. perhaps. is less Of n Frenchman,
except in the quality OF personal bravery, than
any man in the nation lie 10 remarkable for tao
iturnity and ,npasSive"e"-quali'ios which are
never observed in the French character. General
Walker, in point Of fact was born ut Nashville in
Tennessee where. we believe, his father still re-
sides He was never out of this country, except
upon the Central American Isthmus Successfully
an editor in New Orleans and San Francisco, he is
now the leader OF the people Of Nicaragua. as
against a combination Of "outside barbaraus' and
tyrants, who endeavoring to dispossess him of
his just rights. With oil this opposition to him,
and with the threats Of the Administration hang
ing over his head, we believe he will yet recover
his supremacy in Nicaragua. and relieve the peo-
pie of that unhappy country from the evils and
disorders Of their present state of social and polit
ical anarchy.

II is needless 70 n.y. that tls proprietor Of this

Numsrioal Relations Of Nature

Every one has observed that the leaves Of some
plants stand in pairs opposite each other oppo
site sides of the STEM In other plants the leaves
are scattered over the stem but in these cases. al
80, we find them arranged in the most regular
manner. Commencing with any given leaf. for
instance, We shall find tho next leaf above this
one-third Of the way round the stem; the next au-
other third. and the next another third, 30 as to
stand exactly over tho first. The series is there
fore arranged in u spiral. which may be designa-
ted by the fraction rs. Taking another plant we
shall find tho next leaf above any given one two
ffths of the distance around the stem. The next
will be ur-ffths, the next six-ffths and 20 on,
each leaf moving two-ffths of the circumference
further around the stem. Here is spiral, there
fore. which may be expressed by the fraction two
other plants spirals which may be expressed by
the fractions 3S, j-l3, 1921. &c. II in the case Of
opposite leaves first mentioned, consider ench
leaf as separated from the preceding by onc-haf
tho interval around the STEM we shall obtain the
series Of fractions p l-3, 25, 38. 5l3, S-2I &C.
II must be kept in mind that these fractions arc
ascertained by actual observation. But notice the
relation which exists between them. Each hume
rutor il equal tn tho sum Uf the two preceding nu
mcia turs, and each deneninator to the sum ul the
two preceding denominatOrs Knowing this Inv,
we may continue the series TO any exien and it
has been 50 continued and fraction obtained to
which plants have subsequently been found to cor
respond. IL all this the result of chance? Is it
not rather mathematics? law ? intelligence?
But the most wonderful coincidence is yet to be
noticed Neptune, the remotest planet, rcvolyes
around the sun in 10000 days Uranus, tho next.
