THE WAY TO WEALTH.
BY BENJAMIN FRANKLIS.

When Franklin was twcnty-seveu year.
Of age (1732). he commenced the issue
of''Poor Richard's Almanac, !" under the
name Of Richard Saunders. One of the
features OF this almanac which rendered
i. at that day most attractive aud usofa'
was the great number of maxirns Of prac-
teal. proverbial wisdom, with which i.s
pages were richly stored. "I filed )"
says franklin. 'all the little space chat
occurred between the remarkable days in
shc calendar. with provcrb:ai sentences ..
chiefly such as ineulcatcd industry, and
frugali,y as the means of procuring wealth
and thereby securing virtue i. being
more difficult for a man 10 want to act
always honestly; as. TO use here one OF
those proverbs. kis hard E,r an empty
sdcl; TO strnd upright" Id the last mum
ber published in 175O. he gathered
these scattered ma xims into regular dis
course. which be entitled 'sThe Way to
Wealth" supposed to have been delivered
by an aged man TO n company Of both
Sc xcs a. public auction. We think the
psesen, very appropriate time to repub-

ANOTHER CRIME OF ORRELL COME TO
L1GHT.-It will be remembered that about
two weeks ago series of burglaries were
perpetrated between Twelfth and Thir.
teenth streets on Nam. P. Bowman's auc.
tion-house, Thorn's millinery store, Wood
house & Parham's bookstore, and other
stores, were entered. 1t was evident that
the burglar had been secreted in Bowman's
and locked in when the store was closed uE
at night, and worked his way to the roof,
and from thence to the adjoining stores by
forcing an opening through the sky-lights
He did not get away with anything from
any of them but one pistol, having dropped
the goods stolen from Bowman at the front
door when he came out. The detectives
endeavored to find out the thief, but up to
the time of the attempted burglary at
Armistead & Bibb's store had failed. Since
that affair the pistol used by Orrell has been
identified as the property of young man
who is clerk at Mr.. Thorne's store, and
stolen as above stated, which leaves nc
doubt that the burglar in both cases wa:
John Urrell, who was shot by Sergeant
James and private watchman Cousins.

"Some years ago." says the Washington
Star, "George Alfred Townsend wrote a
yarn for a western paper purporting to give
the particulars OF q remarkable surgical op-
Grafton performed upon Senator Benton in
his lifetime. The substance Of the story
was that the W Washington doctors plugged
Mr.. Benton in the side as boys plug wa
termelon; that they disemboweled him,
turned his intestines inside out, removed
the food there, and with it a considerable
colleetion of public documents, bits OF lea
ther, visiting-cards, splints of bakers pine,
&C., that he had swallowed from time
to time absent-mindedly while intent
upon the compilation of his Abridge-
ment of the Debates in Congress.
This miscellaneous collection of indi-
eestible matter, it was stated, had finally
produced an awkward jam in the intestinal
canal, hence this operation. The narrative
proceeded to state that the Colonefs bow
els were carefully washed, rinsed, and re-
paired; that his dinner was then replaced
(minus the public documents and other in
digestible matter), and that the opening, or
plugging, in his side was then seWed or glued
up nicely. It was gravely added that the
stern old statesman minded the operation so
little that he wrote two chapters of his
Abridgement' while it was going OIL !!
And this astounding piece of Munchausen-
ism was copied into nearly every paper in
the country; in fact, we see 1t occasionally
on its travels yet. 1t had not the slightest
foundation other than the commonplace
fact that in a rather obstinate case OF stop
page an india-rubber injection tube was
used on Mr.. Benton with good effect"

THE THEATRICAL SEAsoS.-The prospect
for theatrical entertainments OF high or
der during the fall and winter season at the
Richmond Theatre is sufficiently bright
enough tn please the most sensorious. The
season viii open on Monday evening, Sep
tember 10Th, with the elegant modern com.
edy, so lately successful in the principal ct-
ties of Europe and America, I" Frou-Frou."
We are then to have one of the old come
dies by Colley Cibber, and our Richmond
favorites of 6 East Lynne and "Leah -
and when we say that Miss Ida Vernon,
Miss Ella Wrenn, Miss Sallie Partington,
Mr. E. R. Dalton, Walter Keeble, and Mr.
Ogden, are to appear in each individual cast,
there is every reason to believe that these
productions will equal anything of the kind
ever before attempted, even by the artistic
taste and liberality Of Mr.. Ogden's manage
ment during the war.
We are to have q week of performances
from the great American tragedian Mr..
Edwin Forrest one week of the celebrated
RaYei- -Martinetti pantomime troupe one
week of the great German Ristori, Mad.
Maria Seebath two weeks of the charming
chapman Sisters; one week of the incom-
! parable Fox and Denier troupe; one week
| OF the celebrated British Blondes one week
OF those finished artists Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
watkins. These are assured us before the
end OF the NeW-Year holidays; and during
the winter the operas-French, English.
and ltallan-are promised. If the pro-
gramme is carried out there certainly can
De no cause OF complaint now.

NINEs.-The Chamber of Commerce many
months ago appointed from among its own
members q Committee on Mining, the duties
assigned to which were to make full and
comprehensive report on the mines and
mineral resources of Virginia of whatever
character, and with the view of aiding the
committee in its work. the secretary Of the
Chamber issued circular asking all parties
engaged in mining or having any informa-
ton that might prove useful TO communi-
cate with the committee.
The committee have made no report vet,
but we understand that all that remains
to be completed is the part that relates to
coal. This branch Of the subject Is in the
hands of one member, and we hope he will
soon complete it, as the uhole report will be
embodied in the publication which will be
made by the Chamber Of Commerce in
November next.

"PRrssIA.-A " Constant Reader" wants
information as to the form Of Government
of " Prussia proper" We reply that it is
now a constitutional monarchy, hereditary
in the male line of the house of HohenZol-
lern. The constitution, which is derived
from grant by King Frederick William ",
brother of the present sovereign, modified
by subsequent grants, and has only been IN
existence since 1S4S, vests the executive and
part OF the legislative authority in the King.
In the executive branch he is assisted by q
council of ministers appointed by himself.
The legislative bodies consist OF the
Herrenhaus," which is the Upper Cham
Der, and is composed of the princes of the
royal family sixteen smediatized" friends;
the heads of the territorial nobility; eight
life peers; eight titled nobIemen elected by
the resident landowners in the eight pro-
vinces representatives of the universities
and the heads Of "chapterS y; the mayors
of towns having more than $4,000 inhabit-
ants, and persons nominated ut the pleasure
of the King. The second chamber is com
posed of 432 members, chosen for three
years by general but not universal suffrage.
Every Prussian bject is enrolled in the
army upon reaching the age of twenty, and
in the reserves, and nine in the Gland.

The TuRcos.-We published yesterday an
item of foreign intelligence which stated
that there was universal indignation man
ifcsted at the conduct of the Turcos" of
the French army. When the reader learns
that the Turcos are many of them negroes
he will not be surprised that their conduct
has been such rs to excite universal indig-
nation. Mr.. HALsTEAD writes from Stras-
bourg to his paper-the Cincinnati Com
mercial:
"The majority of them are not negroes,
but many of them are. have seen dozens
and scores of them with those strangely
marked negro features of which it is now
necessary for politicians in America TO speak
with such profound respect. Some of them
| are shade blacker than the blacklist black
men have seen in our happy country. A
tarred stick would make white mark on
some of them. There are Arabs, too, and
Frenchmen and the shades of color are so
fine and so various that it is puzZling some
times to tell the Africanized Frcnchman
from the Frenchitied African"

GRAIN DELIVERY. Can any one tell us
"what constitutes grain delfvery?" The
Chamber Of Commerce can't do it: the
Corn Exchange can't do il; and vet
there must be such q thing. for everybody
is talking about it-every body has his own
theory about it-and yet it seems to be a
question as difficult Of solution as that all
terson." The The q question N is really an % import r
ant o1e-one arresting much attention
and some solution of It must be had. So
far all attempts to solve what is delivery
have proved an abortion. ANY one solving
the question will be rewarded by applying
to The Secretary of the Corn and Flour Tx

10 the Edlt0r OF the DeSpdtch:
Dear Sir,-Considering your valuable pa.
per the tried and true watchman over the
interest and welfare of this community,
would point your attention to the present
careless management OF our market-places
in regard to the ordinance prohibiting the
purchase for the purpose of vending within
the market limits the produce brought from
the country for the use of our citizens
Farmers are importuned, pressed, ,-almost
forced-to sell their provisions to band Of
defiant violators and the consequence is
that our citizens have unnecessarily to pay
enormously for the necessaries Of life in the
midst Of peace and plenty.
Yours respectfully.
