DE Bows REVIEW, for March
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1867-04-01

EXTRAORDINARY VIsIToRs.-An old man
and his daughter, from Alexandria county,
visited this place last Tuesday for the pur-
pose Of asking the United States troops en-
camped here if they knew anything about
James Thompson, son of the old gentle
man, who belonged to the Seventh North
Carolina regiment, and who was said to
have taken the oath to the United States
Government at Baltimore some time du-
ring the war. Wehave not learned whether
they obtained the desired information,
though the probability is that they did not.
They came here on foot, distance of some
forty or fifty miles, without money or other
means to pay their travelling expenses.
They brought down three hare skins and a
weasel skin, which they offered to sell, but
not to pay for nights lodging or anything
of the kind. The old man wanted fiddle
string; and the skins, if sold at all, must
90 for that. 1t is to be hoped he found
some one to accommodate him, and that he
is now safely at home, as happy as any mil
lionaire on earth. In possession of his full
strung fiddle, with blazing wood fire and
a few cheerful neighbors around the hearth,
he heeds not the wag of the world, nor
cares for the fate of empires.
MAN wants but little here below
salisbury Banner.

SOLVENT POWER OF MovINa WATER.-It
is proverb that the falling of drops of
water will hollow out stone, but expert
ments lately made in Paris have developed
surprising results. Pure water was PLACED
in vessel containing some feldspar, and
rapid motion was given by attaching it to
the machinery of the Imperial tobacco
mandatory. The result was that the
feldspar was rapidly decomposed and the
water became alkaline, both potash and
soda being discovered in it. The result is
thought to indicate novel and cheap way
to bleach linen. Salt water had no action
on the feldspar when submitted to this ope-
ration: and new field Of investigation is
opened by these experiments. Biologists
will draw from it important consequences
in regard to the action Of the waves on the
rocks subject to their action.

According TO the Washington CORE
spondent of the Boston Courier, Butler is
more prosecuted out of the House than in

scribbled on the walls Of hotels and public
buildings. He boarded at the Kirkwood

closed by landlords creditors, story was
started that the hotel was shut up because
one of the boarders had stolen all the
spoons. After week Of horribly rainy

A FALSE STATEMENT CoNTRADICTED.-
A Richmond correspondent Of the New
York Tribune makes the following state
mcnt:
at is rumored that the Examiner Of this
city is to be merged in the Times. This is
ominous of the impending demise Of one
or both, and the smalgamation is doubtless
an expedient to prolong precarious ex-
istence. The newspaper business in Rich
mond has proved to be rather Improbable,
and the collapse of some Of the dailies has
long been looked for. / understand that
the employees in none Of the Offices receive
their full pay in any week, and are COM
PEELED to take it in small pittances when
ever it is available"
Any employee Of the Dispatch-whether
editor, printer, reporter, or clerk-wil
testify that he has invariably received his
pay in full on Saturday. There has never
been one single instance in which the en-
ployes have had to wait even one day fol
their pay. Our neighbors will doubtless
speak for themselves.

Mlkmen who water their milk do not dc
it with such impunity in Europe as ap.
pears to be the case in America. At Tug,
in Switzerland, landowner was recently
tried and convicted of putting water in the
milk that he sold, and was condemned to
eighteen months Imprisonment, the pay
ment of the costs of the suit, and loss OF
civil rights.
In Connecticut once boy told Barnum
his grandmother had cherry-colored cat
that was great curiosity. Barnum offered
fifteen dollars for it, and paid the boy five

cherry colored, and the Snowman confessed
he had been outwitted.

A CLIMATE WHERE CONSERVATIVES ARE
SAID TO OBTAIN CERTAIN RELIEF.-Did
it occur to tho company which proposes to
run regular steamers up the Amazon from
Paris for distance of $500 miles from its
mouth that il will be able to transport
passengers direct into the inland valley of
Jauia, where the consumptive will obtain
restoration of health and cure of a too
generally incurable disease The voyage,
though long. may be made almost with
out changing vessels, and will be found
neither tedious nor debihtating. 1t will
introduce travellers into some of the most
magnificent scenery in the world. 1t has
been known to the natives, from time i'm
memorial, that removal Of consumptive
patients, even in the stage of well-marked
liberation and cavities Of the lungs, to the
Valley of Jauja, at height Of 10000 feet
above the sea, was followed by an almost
invariable suspension of the disease. This
fact is corroborated by the experience of
the physicians of Peru at the present time.
From the statistics of Lima published in
1858 it appears that nearly eighty per cent.
of the cases of consumption sent to Jauja
Valley are cured.-Philadelphia Ledger.

A CREDITABLE ACT.-The Radical Lee
gislature of New York, in providing for a
State Convention to form new constitu-
ton, so framed the law as to require thir-
ty-two of the delegates to be chosen at
large-that is, by the people of the whole
State-and as to allow sixteen Of the
thrty-two to be chosen by the Democrats
and sixteen by the Radicals. This latter
object was accomplished by providing that
no one voter should vote for more than six
teen of the number. As, then, the Demo-
cratic party lacks only few thousand
votes Of being as strong as the Radical, it
is inevitable that they must elect one-halt
Of the delegates at large.

A COOP THING.-James II. Harris, our
colored fellow citizen, is an Intelligent,
shrewd man, and showed in the Hoidenlte
meeting on yesterday that he was quite
match for any Of his associates. AT one
time, we learn, on calling over the names,
the clerk had very properly inserted the
term colored against the names of the CO.
lored delegates. Mr.. Colonel Rev. James
Sinclas, better known as the "fghting
parson," arose, and moved that the term
colored be expunged, as not respectful to
the colored delegation. James II. Harris
arose and said he did not see any good rea-
son for the proposition. The record was
literally true. God had made them CO.
lored men, and he was not ashamed of any
thing that God had done. He was not
ashamed of his color, and he hoped the
gentleman from Robson was not ashamed
of his The Fighting parson |" caved in.
