FOne of Mr.. Lincoln's Secrets

EOne OF Mr.. Lincoln's Secrcta-
ries, in his white House Sketches"
tells of a personal popularity in him
we have not seen mentioned His
writing was done when alone, and
was rarely corrected, either by him
self or others. He composed slowly,
and when done was accustomed to
read his manuscript over aloud, "to
see how it sounded, as he could hard
ly judge of a thing by merely read
ing it,"

10 the Editors Of tie Richmona Dtspotch
As contributions to your paper from tins
section, as lar as my observation goes, are
rare. we have concluded to sprward 10 You
a few items OF interest, and ut the same
time 10 call special attention 10 a SUBJECT
OF vital importance 10 the agricultural IN
tcrests OF Virginia. We refer otlic supply oil
ruano for the wheat crop OF next year. The
prosperity of the whole of eastern Virginia
and the trade OF its citicS-Richmond III par
ticular--is deeply involved i'll the question
as TO whether the farmers can by amy means
be supplied with guano. 1T is perfectly
certain that in the largest portion OF cast
ctn Virginia il would he 4 ruiuouS business
10 bay seed at present prices with the GER
tain PROSPECT, in almost every lnStaucc, oi
not realizing next year the expense III,
Cured in cultivation. In TACT, there are
thousands Of farmers VIII" have not the
means TO buy seed and guano; and the
wheat crop Of next year Will he inevitably
scarcely a 1.-THE Of the average crops ol the
ante btHom times.
MANY Of the best lands of eastern Viz
ginia absolutely require guano To make
them rcmuncrativc. The poorer lanes re-
uuirc it for improvement for any KIND OF
crops, and every year that II cannot be
used, besides reducing the yield immensely
for the time, delays the Improvement OF
the lands, and putting il cut oi the power
OF the farmers IL purchase anything after
paving current expenses, tends dlrccti!
and rapidly to the total impovcrisImcnt
of the State. There is another point to be
considered The labor of cas-, Virginia i
not 50 reliable as II Was in former times,
and hence wheat, which requires much
less labor than other staple crops, must
eventually become NOR" cultivated than
IL has been heretofore, provided only =
start can be made. With one Years start.
the income from the crop would, in MANY
instances, under favorable seasons, not
only pay Tor itself, but leave a surplus to
invest in gnauo 50 that very few years
would be necessary 10 bring the cultiva-
ton back to il original extent, when in a
short time, We opine, il would very much
exceed the crops oi former years. 1t is
10 the material interest of all that guano
should be supplied and il i. is possible 10
be donc, the dealers i'll that article should
combine, if necessary, and either sell O,
time - al farmers who can give perfectly
satisfactory security, or make some fair
arrangement hy which the crops may h,
divided between the culiivator and th,
! merchant. Oh course discretion would h,

w,x c,,,y nrpN,r TAKE WARRINGTON

WY EARLY DIDN'T TAKE WARRINGTON
C1ry.--The credit of saving the city Is
due alone to a bull and a barrel of whisky.
Said bull was the property of Mr.. George
". Riggs, the banker, and was much cs-
tccmcd for his many excellent qualities
and extrinsic usefulness. The whisky was
IL barrel of choice old Bourbon, fonnd in
Mr.. Montgomery Blair's winc-celIar. When
Jubal Early and his rebel host reached the
dcfcnccs of Washington they were both
hungry and thirsty, and went to searching
TIC houses of the ncighborhood for what
ever was good. The bull was discovered
and slaughtered, and the rebel generals
and their stats banquctcd on him. -And
there was great rejoicing when the barrel
of whisky was captured and brought forth.
When these rebel gentlemen had filled
their stomachs on the flesh of the bull,
they had such a fondncss for the whisky
that they allowed it to steal away their
brains. Indeed, they gave themselves up
to Teasing and drinking, and quite forgot
that they had been sent to capture wash
ington, which they might easily have done,
for it was at that time iir-ss dcicnccless
condition. The delay caused by this
riotous conduct OH the part of Early and
his subordinate gcnarals gave the old
Sixth corps time to come up, whcn they

INTERESTING To SCIENTIFIC MEN.-Eve-
rvbody knows of Franklin's experiment,
placing clothes OF various colors on snow,
from which he concluded that the lighter
the color of the body the less its power Of
absorption. But the conclusion was ialla-
cious, for as it is the dark or caloriiic rays
of the sun to which the effects were due,
Tyndall's experiments have shown that the
absorption of them is sometimes most will
white substances, and sometimes greatest
with black. Now, snow itself, which Is
perfectly white, ab>orbs those rays Will
greater grecdincSs than any other sub
stance; hence Franklin's white cloth,
which absorbs less than the snow, really
intercepted those rays from the snow un-
dcrncath it, and the cloth itSclfSunl;
but little. 1t is thus the latter rcctiiicS the
earlier scicncc.-Ner York Times.
