Itappears, if there is any dependence
to be put in dispatch received here
yesterday, that the long agony is over,
Gen. Candy has been authorized to
convene the Legislature and not apply
the test-oash to its members. This
intelligence. it is said, caused great joy
in the city Of Richmond, AMI as gold
fluctuated considerably yesterday that
may have been the reason We learn
that that commodity jumped up to
$135s yesterday, from $1343 the day
before. V. Aa.
The following are the press dispatches
in regard to Gen. Candy and the Legis,
lature, which we copy from the Herald :
Washington, September 3.-The
perplexity about the situat on OF Vir-
ginia has been solved at LAST. General
Candy will shortly issue his proclama-
ton of the result OF the election, and
the Legislature will meet on the fourth

not to be required OF the members oI
| the Legislature, but they are forbidden
any other action beyond what the law
makes preliminary to the States re-
cognition by Congress, the ratification
of the fifteenth amendment, &c.
This action involves the installation
of thu Lieutenant Governor, as the Sen

which could be proftably invested in
manufacturing establishments. If it
were SO invested, a home market would
be created for the products of the farm.
Instead OF having an uncertain foreign
market there would be steady demand
at home, and we would save the ex-
pense OF sending abroad what we have
to sell, and of bringing from abroad
The goods we consume.
Many of the farmers Of Iowa who
have surplus money to invest, would
secure to themselves much better in

investing it in manufactures at home.
We have splendid facilities for manu-
featuring purposes, and we often won

ton Of capitalists from abroad. But
why should resident capitalists wait
for strangers to reap advantages they
might secure for themselves? Let the
farmers and business men of the West
put their own shoulders to the wheel.
Take hold OF the work themselves,
and trust neither to strangers or to
luck, and their labors will be amply
rewarded. No mistake about that

course, partisan press is "a natlon-

A Miserable Sinner.

Visiting sick thimblerigger with a
young missionary requestedthe latter
to talk with him on religious subjects.
He did so, detailing to him the fallen
condition of mankind, the need of sal
vation, and the redemption by Christ,
reading to the sick man, in proof Of
what he said, passages from the gos-
pels. The poor fellow listened and
acquiesced. To every interrogation
of the missionary he answered, Ger
tainly, sir" In course. sir!' so that my
compan on was greatly encouraged. /

ton, and stepping forward, said, "Joe,
my boy, the minister is very kind, and

Brief Biographical sketches.

Julius Cesay-SOn OF old man Caesar
He was born at Rome in his infancy
and upon arriving at the estate OF man
hood, became Roman. He was
| fighter and warrior of some note
His friend Brutus one morning asked
him how many eggs he had eaten to-
breakfast, and he replied; 'Et t,
Brute!" HIS friend became enraget
at being called brute and stabbed Ce
sar quite dead.
Wahomet-Author of the Koran, al
exciting romance which he wrote il
the Mammoth Cave at Mecca. He wa
the author of religious creed will
which he stuffed Turkey, and tried t,
get up broil in Greece, but failed
Many of his early followers suffered
great prosecutions. Some of then
were burnt at the stake. He had three
temples-one at Mecca aud one or
each side of his head
General Dixie, of Wel,ngton-An off
Ger OF the British army. Mr.. Longfel
low makes honorable mention of him
as the "Warden of the Cinque Ports
Cinque means five, and he was the pro.
tector of five principal points, usually
denominated Five Points. He lived
to a ripe old age and died.
Guy Iascks.-A warm-hearted and
impulsive Englishman, who believed
the Parliament too good for this earth,
and devised an expeditions method OF
elevating the members to a better
sphere. He was interrupted in his
good intentions, but for which circum.
stance he doubtless would have made
a great noise in the world. He was
executed for his disinterested benevo.
lence, and was subsequently burned
in place called Efiigy.
Bonaparts IA harum-scarum sort
offs fellow, ,.who occupied position oi
considerable responsibility in the
French nation. The impression went
abroad that he was ambitious, which
damaged his reputation materially. He
gained the respect and admiration OF
the French nation, because, happily,
he was not a Frenchman. When
asked if he thought he could govern
France, he replied, lot Corsican." The
close OF his life was not as bright as
its beginning, but there was more of it
IN narrow compass.
Peter, the Heymit-Pete was princi-
pally notorious for stirring up little
difficulty between the Christians and
Mahomedans, which extended over a
period OF thirty years, resulting in
numerous excursions by land and wa
ter, under the fascinating title of the
Crusades. The Hermit was an itine.
rant lecturer, and had he lived in our
day would have turned his attention
to humor, thereby saving deal of
bloodshed. The Crusades turned out
like the author of the creed they were
intended to annihilate-a false pro-
phet.
Plutareh-I only know this gentle
man by reputation. He is always
spoken Of in the plural number. "Pla
tarch's Lives is common expression
but how many there We're of him 1 am
not prepared to say.
Basmarek-Vulgarly termed "Ole
BIZ A modern hero, but very ilit-
crate. He formerly signed his name
with capital b., above and beneath
which were writtn the words, ''his
mark" In consequence of this the
sobriquet of His Mark was bestowed
upon him, but afterwards corrupted
to Bismarck. He played for Prussia
and made Count.

AnecdOte Of Horace Greeley.

In one of the chapters of Mr.. Gree
lcy's autobiography occurs the follow
ing narration; which illustrates at once
his independence and, perhaps, his
opinion of the general run of novels:
once received a letter from some
what noted novelist pressing me to
read, thoroughly, one OF his works just
issued, which the cover proclaimed his
greatest novel;" and which he wished
me to commend to general favor, say
ing he was ANXIOUS to do his part to-
ward the emancipation of the poor
from their unmerited degradations and
miseries. was not able to read the
book-editors receive too many re-
quests like this; but replied to the
letter, saying, in substance: "Y ou
wish to improve the condition OF the
poor Well, allow me to suggest a
way. Take hold of the first piece OF
vacant earth you can gain permission
to use, plant an acre with potatoes.
cultivate and gather them, give one
halt to such poor creatures as really
need them, and save the balance for
your own subsistence while you grow
more next year. In this way, you will
do more toward amcliorating the con-
dition of the poor, than you could by
writing novels from July to eternity" !"
My philanthropic friend did not take
my advice--he did not even thank ME
for it; but he soon after started a news
paper, whereof he sent me the first five
numbers, in every one Of which ! re-
ccived most unmerciful hagellation.
The paper is since dead; but | have no
doubt its editor continued his castiga
tions to the last, and died laying it on
with whatever vigor he had lett. l
could not help that. ! never made
any reply; but my convictions, as ex-.
pressed in my letter to him, remain
unchanged to this day.

MOUNTAIN OF LEAD.-Considerab
interest is felt in Wallingtord and

of a mountain of lead. This mountain
formerly belonged to the late Mortem
