AMERICAN IMPROVED GAS LIGHT CON-
PANY OF VIRGINIA.-We depart from our
general rule in calling attention to the ad-
vertisement of the American Improved
Gas Light Company Of Virginia. This
company is Incorporated under the laws of
Virginia, and is composed of gentlemen
who are not mere adventures seeking to
introduce an invention of questionable
value to the public, but are men of high
standing in our community, whose state
ments may be received without hesitation,
and who have the pecuniary ability to carry
out all their contracts. They propose to
furnish an improved gas light to hotels,
churches, private residences, stores, and
other buildings, at great saving of ex-
pense, and to sell rights to corporations
or individuals in any of the cities and
towns of Virginia where coal gas is used.
We have been using their improved gas
light in our printing house since the 2lst of
January, and our experience confirms all
that they claim for the new light. We
have had better light than that furnished
by the city gas, and with saving of at
least one-half in the consumption. We
| earnestly commend this improved gas light
to all our citizens. They are invited to
call at the rooms of the company, over the
clearinghouse of WILLIAM B. 1sAACs &
Co., and test the value of this invention.

TEST OATH SET AsIDE.-The West Vir-
ginia Supreme Court decided recently
that the lawyers test oath should continue
to be administered in that court notwith-
standing the decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States. Judge HIND
MAN, of the Cabell county circuit, has,
however, admitted Major MILLER to prac-
tice in his court without taking the oath.
The Greenbrier Independent says that the
Judge intimated very distinctly that his
final decision would sustain the authority
of the United States Supreme Court
rather than that of the West Virginia Su-
preme Court.

TRAVELLING IN A CIRCLE.-In addition
to his other accomplishments John RUsKIN
the celebrated Englishman, may boast OF
being a writer upon political economy. He
has recently written two letters, in the in
tercst Of working or laboring men, upon
what he calls cooperation" In the lat
ter Of the two occurs the following Ian
guage:
IAN arrangement may be supposed, and ]
have good hope also may one day be effecte
by which every subordinate shall be paid sufii-
Gent and regular wages, according TO his rank,
by which due provision shall be made out Of
the profits of the business for sick and super
anuated workers, and by which the master
being held responsible, as a minor king or GO
vernon, for the conduct as well rs the comfor:
of all those under his rule, shall on that con
dition be permitted TO retain to his own use
the surplus profits OF the business which the
fact Of his being its master may be assumed
10 prove that he has organized by superior in
tellect and energy"
This comes to us in the New York Iri-
June. 1t is, it will be observed, theory
which RUsKIN hopes may some day be re-
duced to practice. This theory is nothing
more nor less, when Analysed, than that of
slavery, for it is only under that system
that the man Of superior intellect and
energy" is held irresponsible as a minor
king or governor" for "the conduct as
"well as the comfort of all those under
"his rule" The Sufficient and regular
wages" required would be, Of course, the
laborer's board, clothing, and medical at
tendance, for it is the want of these that
has set RUsKIN and the rest of the British
philanthropists upon the hunt for a new
system. Surely, the world of mind as well
as matter travels in circle, for Just as
slavery has been abolished here it is pro.
posed to establish it in England as a phi
lanthropic institution.

discipline, Il 10 the duty OF the upper classes

limitation of their own"
"ln spite Of all the cant which is continually
talked by cruel, foolish, or designing persons
about the duty of remaining content In the
position in which Providence has placed you,
there IL a root of the very deepest, hottest
truth In the saying which gives such power as
HIPS, and received into doubling and embit-
tered hearts. IL, indeed, no EFFORT had been
made TO discover In course OF their early train
ing for what services the yonths OF nation
are individually qualified. nor any care taken
proved their fitness for certain functions In
the offices they could best fulfil then TO call
the confused wreck of social order and life,
brought about by malicious collision and com.
petition, an arrangement Of Providence, Is
quite one of the most insolent and wicked
WAYS I'm which IL Is possible TO take the name
of God In vain But If, at the proper time,
some earnest effort be made to place youths
according 20 their capacities in the occupations
for which they are fitted, think the system OF
organization will be finally found the best
which gives the least encouragement to
thoughts Of any great future advance in social
life.n
This last remark is in direct opposition
to all the theories we have taught in this
country. 1t assumes that most of the I'M
happiness, not to say wickedness, of the
world is owing to desire to rise in the
social circle; and that if society could be
so organized as that no one would expect
to move in different circle from that In
which his father moved, then the hap
piness of the masses would be secured.
And this result, the reader will immedi-
ately see, can only be produced by some
system akin to slavery.
We wish GREELEY and RUsKIN much
success in the prosecution of their new
theories. We have done with slavery, and
they are welcome to all they can make
out of it.
