Hurnbugging Prospectors.


The people Of Virginia have had great
many lessons. But there is vein OF gen.
erous confidence in their natures which
ever exposes them to the tricks of the de-
ceitful and designing. They are too much
inclined to consider that men are as sincere
and undisguised as themselves, and they
nut too ready faith in the "big talking" of
strangers. Not to go further back, we may
saw that from the grand contracts and bril-
liant expectations of Mr.. BLACK, the ex-
ploded Scotch agriculturist, down to the
present time, the Virginia people have dis
played remarkable susceptibility to the
arts and tricks of humbuggers. Many are
ready to confide in the plans of almost any,
body, and put an unaccountable trust in
the stories and promises of almost any one
who will como along and Aatter them with
the notions Of the wonders that he can
achieve for them.
) 1t is true that, PROSTATE as our people
are-humiliated by the foolish or malignant
measures Of . perverse and vicious Govern
ment-they are naturally ready to listen
kindly to any story that holds out some
promise Of relief from embarrassment and
prostration. So that any one who comes
along with scheme for immigration and
for sale of land to immigrants finds not
only ready listeners, bat men who are too
ready to believe anything they say-driyep
BY outrage and tyranny, as they are, tc
afy to ills they know not Of"
Several instances have lately occurred
to prove the indiscretion of putting faith
in these strangers. Great capitalists have
come with their boasts, and spectators have
come in committee Of the WHOLE" as il
were. They all tell the most fattering tales
and deyelope the grandest schemes-nearly
all of which propose to bind only the Vir-
gina and-holder. The foreigners most
obligingly aadertoke to sell lands which
the owner pledges himself to sell at a GER
tain price for a certain length of time
The foreigner is bound to nothing; the Vir-
ginian to everything.
So with the grand capitalists. They, too,
aatter us that We have everything that
heart could wish to make a State, They

Westharn Furnace.

The extensive establishment on the canal
not far from the city which bears this name
has been the object of no little interest
among those who appreciate its Importance.
1t has passed through several changes as to
proprietors, and some severe trials which
had begun to attach to it the reputation OF
heinz unfortunate.' The public received
tbe impression that mysterious adversely
hung over its fortunes, and it was feared II
would not meet with success.
Immediately after it passed into the
hands of the present company it was put in
operation with energy under the direction
of that very energetic manager and estima-
BILE gentleman General STONE. In little
while serious trouble was encountered.
The iron in the furnace, from some unac-
countable cause, became chilled, which
accustomed much delay and expense, the
hard iron having to be cut out with great
labor and patience. This occurred several
times, to the great annoyance and loss OF
the company. The cause could not DC d.
| v;ned. The works were admirably built,
and after patient scrutiny there was found
TO be nothing wrong about them. Colonel
STONE, finding that it was idle to attempt to
proceed with this serious obstacle to their
operations, determined to make thorough
Investigation by digging below the furnace.
He soon found the source of the trouble !:
a culvert passing under the furnace had
been stopped up, and the back water cooled
the furnace and chilled the iron.
The evil, being ascertained, was imme-
diately remedied by new culvert, and the
works are now going ahead with a success
equal to the highest anticipations of their
owners. 1t is an important establishment,
adding largely to the manufacturing wealth
of this locality, and from what We hear it
is not likely to encounter any more adverse
circumstances. If the raw material is fur
nished it with sufficient activity it will
throw great deal of iron into market. We
learn, however, that there is much larger
demand here than it can possibly supply.
It is wonderful what slight causes often
create the greatest inconvenience and battle
the most patient investigations Of men. A
fine residence in London was once rendered
uninhabitable by current of impure air
which was conducted into the basement by
an old pipe, once used for some purpose,
which passed through a neighboring grave
yard and entered the house. The dwelling
became the subject of the widest stories
and superstitions. The owners, being un-
. able to do anything with it, sold it for q
mere song to man who made thorough
examination of the walls and found the
pipe whose deadly breath had deprived SO
, many tenants Of life. Getting rid of it, his
house was afterwards healthy and comfort
able, and he was considered C fortunate y
mana reputation society is ever disposed
to give to those sagacious and persevering
, individuals who achieve more than other
people. 1t is species of self-complacency
agreeable to men who thus excuse them
selves for not doing what others accomplish.
