LUzEKNE vs.. KATE cAssELL.

Mr.. Error The guarded and cautious attempt
made by correspondent in yesterdays paper to
prejudice public opinion against our gallant little
pet the Luzerne, is fully appreciated by til public
His frantic endeavors to prove that the Luzerne
will blow up or do something very de sperate soon,
and also that Capt Deming is regular dare devil,
who takes every opportunity to put the lives and
property of his passengers in jeopardy, is only
equalled by his ministerial simplicity and utter
ignorance concerning the subject of which he is
writing Because fast boat happens to pass one
that amt by long shot, his hair begins to rise and
he holds up his hands in holy horror at what be
calls reckless and fool hardy expedient to outstrip
her! Ii this clerical runner for the Kate Cassell
had stepped into the engine room of the Luzerne
and seen the amount of power to the size of the
boat, and compared it with that of the Kate Cas-.
sell, he would readily have seen how side. wheel
passenger packet to beat stern-wheel freight
boat. As regards the officers of the Luzerne,
Drawer, more whole.souled set of officials never trod
he deck Of Mississippi steamer. All who are
brought in contact with them unite in praisinq
heir honesty and gentlemanly department I
know this to be true from personal experience The
discerning public may rest assured that their
lives and property cannot be placed in safer hands
han those of Capt. Dening and Mr.. Van Dyke.

HOME MANUFACTURES

A glorious passion for home n,anufactures has
inoculated tie people Of old Virginia since the BAH
was set In motion by the John Brown raid, and t,e
prospect y that In few years they will be an in
dependent people, not only making nfnety-nine
hundredths of all wares for which they have been
paying money to the North. bat directly importing
all that they have been paying profit on to the
merchants Of New York, Philadelphia and Boston.
1t is stated in the Richmond Dispatch that factories
are now under way and will soon be in operation
on large scale for making oil cloth, shoes and
boots, hats and caps, ready-made clothing, straw
bonnets, sewing machines, buckets, tabs furniture
willow ware, iron castings steam fire engines, um-
brellas and parasols stoves and CRATES and great
variety of other articles of daily and essential use
including almost everything.
When the manufacturing production reaches
any considerable extent, then will commence
the war Of competition. The manufacturers
Of the North will attempt to crush those Of the
South by underseIling. and the large home IN
terests at stake viii influence the legislative and
municipal authorities Of Virginia to take such
action for home protection as will virtually
exclude Northern manufactured merchandise.
That they can attach such disabilities and still
keep within the constitutional letter, is not to be

LIFE Is A MYSTERY - rhe following
Iis beyond all number the most extra.
Ordinary phenVnlcnon We ever read: -
Six ladies were cnjoyng themselves
over the tea.tabIc, and. by way oi
amusement, they began contiling to
each other in secret how old they
were: and it was found that their uni.
ted ages amounted to ene hundred and
twenty fveyears The most singular
thing, however, is, that the daughters
OF these six ladies' and each lady had
one-wrre IN the next, room, trying
over the last new Polka; AMI, upon
calculating their united ages, the re.
Sult revealed the. astounding Tact, that,
though not yet marie still they
wcic older than their mammas by sew
EN- years, eleven months, and tour.
teen days! The mystery is still un

to accuse the young ladies, for the
purpose Of gaining victory of no

themselves out to be older than they
