GAS LIGHT FRO. OXIDES OF MANGAsEsE.-The
Norfolk Journal says, Paris is more brilliantly
lighted, and at cheaper rate, than any city in
the Uaited States. Tt is done by simply adding
one-third of oxygen to'the Partisan Gas, which
increases its Illuminating powers eight times
The oxygen is obtained from the oxides of Man
ganese brought from Spain. The Journal alludes
to the immense beds of Manganese in Botetourt
county, and urges their being worked. 1t need
not go so far. D. L. C. Brady, at the mouth of
Buffalo, on North River, supply the demand
for the United States There are indications of
Manganese on Dr.. Watson's place on James Riv-
er, and in all that portion of Rockbridge and Am
herst, from Rope Ferry to Buchanan and Licking
ton, it can be found in quantities. Lynchburg
should try the experiment.

OUR FARMERS.

Their homes are their castles-.heir hearth
stones throne;
They rule without sceptre the kingdom they
The stalks and the vine and the fruit-bearing
Are subjects that bend not to tyrants their
knee.
But bend with the weight of the harvest and
field,
Ever loyal and faithful, harvest to yield.
No planning and plotting among them Is
No traitor the sovereign would strike from his
throne!
He stands midst his acres of grass, wheat and
maize,
Like Crusoe, 'the monarch of all he surveys;
His banks are the earth banks, and stand on his
The banks that are safe when the panics alarm.
The stock is the cattle-not fancy in breed
The shares are the plow-shares that score ior
the seed,
Not quoted on Change in the brokers' array,
But shares on which Nature win DIVIDENDS pay.
Their banks are not those which the widows
condemn;
No officers pilfer deposits from them;
If small the potatoes that in them are found,
Yet none are so small as we find out Of ground.
The farmer with appetite ever can eat
The bread of his table, las good as the wheat
And loving most dearly his wife, he may utter,
my bread and my wife; I'll not have any bnt
herm
There's many hearth where the embers are
glowing;
There's many heart with its joys overfowing
The hearths and the hearts from the world's
rude alarms,
Are safe in the homes that are reared in our
farms

A"Modernten Mistake.

The Fifth Ward meeting on Wednes-
day evening made q moderate" mis-
take in its attempted selection OF a
moderate" Demscrat TO give rcspecta-
bility to the Radical candidates whom,
with him, it nominated for Council.
The card of Mr. JAMES MAXWELL de-
clining the honor of heading a Radical
ticket will be found elsewhere. Mr..
MAXWELL not only repudiates the NOM
ination of the so-called "citizens' meet
ing" but he calls upon his "friends
aud all well-wishers of the Democratic
party to support the regular nominees.'
We have already advised the young
Democrat Of Quincy street that he Is
rather fresh in the cause to lead Denoc'
racy by the nose, and the prospects are
very fair that abundant advice to the
same effect will be rendered him from
numerous other sources about next
Monday.

EnrlK Economy.

Most of our readers are familiar with
the extravaganza of the United States
Senators in supplying themselves and
families with kid gloves, pen-knives,
etc, at the public expense. An hum
BILE imitation of this high-toned legis-
lation has Just been perpetrated by the
law-makers of West Virginia, The
members have voted themselves ten
dollars each, as sort of Contingent
Fund"
The dodge was styled an appropri'
alton for postage stamps. We would
suggest tisat our legislators now vote
themselves gold pens and writing desks
To the end that such of the members as
are deficient in chirOgraphy, may be
taught to use the foregoing implements,
q bill to supply the needy with scholar
ships in some good Commercial College
would not be ont of tho way. These
donations would be fully as Legitimate
as the gift of cash for stamps.

Leap Year Party.

Lenp Year Party.
A leap year party is certainly some
thing very novel and attractive. 1t is
only once in four years that the ladies
are allowed the privilege of enjoying
all that is claimed to belong to the
sterner sex. and it is seldom ever that
they avail themselves of its advantage.
Etiquette is completely reversed,
and where the gentleman has
played the gallant, the lady grace
fully assumes his position, aud if she
feels so disposed, can "pop the ques-
tion," without fear of the tongue of
Mrs. Grundy. But it is not often that
ladies feel like laying aside that innate
delicacy so natural to their sex and be-
come the leaders in arranging places of
amusement for the "lords of creation,"
but when they do they always have
things complete IN the most fastidious
style.
Laop uIbhG luO pAA'iAS5No VI 'N"P
year were exercised by the ladies of
Wheeling. They gave ball in which
all the necessary formula attendant up
on such occasions was entirely and
exclusively getten up under their own
immediate supervisions, They appoint
ed their own committees, saw that hacks
were at the disposal Of their invited
guest, and the notes of invitation EN-
phatically stated that they should leave
their port-monnaies at home. The num-
Der in attendance was some seventy
FIVE or eighty couple.
The dance commenced, and all was
merry. The universal feeling prevail
ing throughout the company was to let
Joy be unconfned when youth and pleasure
meet
To chase the glowing hours with flying feet
The affair came off at the Sprigg
House, where the enterprising proprie-
tors of that hotel, Messrs. Edwards &
Conant, served up an excellent lunch,
which was literally INDUCED in by the
attendants of the Leap Year party.

riveting the chains upon his comrades
in the Confederate enterprise.
The Radicals should be permitted In
no way to evade the popular demands
The general, if not unanimous, septi-
ment of tho people is in favor of the
repeal of all proscriptive measures
Should the party in power fail to yield
to the popular wish, it will be held to
strict accountability. Nothing should
be done from which it can extort a
sanction ofits course. All should stand
shoulder to shoulder in demanding, not
clenency, but justice-the immediate
aud entire repeal of the whole Test
Oath system. If the demand be respec-
ted, all will, as all should, share the
benefit. Ifit be rejected, the next Leg
islature will be of a kind to need no
suggestions as to duty.
Let there be no flinchlng, or cOmpro-
missing. Any man who can interpret
events, must see that the downfall OF
Radicalism is certain aud near. Under
such circumstances, to truckle or to
yield is worse than unwise: it is the
blindest folly.

The Atteruey,s Onth

We expressed tho other day the be-
lief that the repeal Of the Attorneys
Test Oath would, in all likelihood, be
considered by the present Legislature.
Subsequent occurrences have strengthen
ed this view. One awkward fact appears
to stand in the way of the repeal. If
the Oath in question DO abolished, the
act will carry with it confession Of
wrong in the nature OF results of the
Oath itself
To get rid of this, efforts will dou bt-
less be made to induce lawyers that are
now excluded from practice in our State
Courts to apply for special exemption
and reliOf as regards the oath. All who
make such applications will be held to
admit, ipsO faOto, the general jsstice and
correctness of the prescription from
which they suffer. To ask for special
relief is to confess the propriety of the
law, from whose operations they would
be exempt. Its validity is recognized
by the very fact of such application.
New if prescribed lawyers can be pro-
cured to justify their own prescription,
the responsibility for that prescription
will be shifted from Radical shoulders.
The party in power can go before the
people with the testimony of its own
victims to show that its measures Of
ostracism have neither been unright-
eous nor inexpedient.
We trust that our law makers will be
allowed no such way of escape from
the consequences of their own wrongs.
We venture the hope that no gentle
man, now under the Radical ban, viii al
low himself to be made the scape-g goat
of Radical iniquity, or accept any
special mercy as q compromise for uni
versal justice. If any Southern lawyer
believes his exclusion from the Courts
to be the just penalty of his course, we
would lay no obstacle in the way
of his petition for individual re
lief. But if he believes that the pro
scrfption of all his class has no justifi
cation, then, we take it, that no partici
pant in the late rebellion will receive
from Radical sources any benefits thai
may be denied to his fellows, especially
when his acceptance of them will bs
hsld to excuse the powers that be il
