THE BEST FIREs.-Proiessor Van Blbber
delivered before the Peabody Institute OF
Baltimore, day or two since, lecture on
artificial heat. The reporter says:
In conclusion, he was eloquent in his
description of the best kind OF artificial
heat for houscs-that from the old-ashioned
hearths in the large and hospitable halls !;
some Of which are yet to be found III East
ern Virginia and the rural districts Of Mary
land. Many of the new houses now being
built for sale)in this city (Said he)a being
constructed without, any fire. places at all ;
and almost the universal custom is with the
ladies to close up the tire-placcs in the older
houses. Nothing can be more injurious to
the health. 1t is constantly said the cold
air comes down the 1ire-places.' This Is
true, owing to the unequal weights Of air
at different temperatures, and the only re-
medv is to establish the drausht up the
chimney bymeans Of fire."
Several of our leading physicians declare
that threc-fourths of the colds which pre-
vail in all great cities during winter, early
spring, and late fall, are caused by the un'
wholesome air produced by turnaces.-Ne'c

A REPUBLICAN, STATE SENATOR'S REPoRT
OF THE PROSPECT OF ApMIssIoN.-A proml-
nent Republican State senator elected on
the Wells ticket returned from the Federal
capital yesterday, and reports Il most en-
couraging prospect for the speedy admis-
sion Of Virginia. He had conversations
with Senators Sumner, Wilson, Pomeroy.
Morrill, of Vermont. Warner Of Alabama,
Williams of Oregon, Conkling of New York,
Wiley of West Virginia, and others, and
each of them expressed entire willingness
to have the State at once resume her place
in the Union under the administration Of
Governor Walker and the present Legisla-
tllre. He met none who were disposed to
raise objections or ask delay, and says that
Porter does not stand a ghost of 4 chance
Of success i'll his Vaccinations against the
welfare of Virginia. :,
Senator Sumner said that, the extremists
in the Republican party in the South had
greatly injured the party in that section,
and that the day for teSt-oaths aud distran-
chisements had passed. The only hope Of
building up the party in the Old Dominion
was in The exercise of libcrality and fOrhcar-
ance, and this was no more than just, Ina5-
much as the State had fully and tairly met
the requirements CT the reconstruction laws.
Others expressed themselves in the same
manner, and showed L great change Of sell

Anxious mothers will do well to take
note of little incident which occurred the
other day. One Mary Cronin, aged twelve
months, was drowned in exactly three piIlts
of water. 1t happened in this way: Mary
was playing about the room during her
mothers absence-a little girl was "mind-
in." her-when she came across a.common
house pail This stupendOus curiosity
naturally attracted the close attention of
Mary. She gaZed into the strange machine,
and when her mother returned, some hours
afterward, the poor child was found, head
downward in the pail, stone dead. There
were only three pints of water in the YES
sci. The plan Of leaving children in charge
of each other seldom answers.-Neec York
Times.

TIE OPERA.-The performance of Don
Giovanni last night was yet superior to the
preceding entertainment of Faust. So was
the audience the most brilliant of the sea-
son. MoZart's grand strains were success
fully rendered by both vocalsts and orches-
ira. Mr.. Won G1el, the leader ofth orches-
ira, flung more than his ordinary ardor and
energy into the instrumental part, and
chorus and orchestra swelled forth with a
fullness and concord that were delightful.
Weinlich as LoporelIo acquitted bimself
very well, but not as well as be did in Me-
phistophiIes. Poor Loporello! he was
called {" Barber" in yesterdays Dispatch,
and last nights bills had him ''Soporello,"
which is rs near Barber us hther can make
him; but he consoled himself with maca-
roni-of which he ate in the last act Of the
play about hundred yards.
We may say with entire truth that Don
Juan was last night performed with about
as much success as was any opera vet pre-
sented upon the Richmond stage. Formes
played Don Juan in very spirited and
faithful manner. All the principal charac-
ters were very well sustained, and we may
award the company the credit OF having
triumphed, by the highest proof of good
acting: the entire satisfaction ot,a discrimi-
mating audience.

artistic accomplishments. 1t has given Us q
