4 letter mRichmond in the Norfolk Journal

A Observation-Disclosures in the Norfolk Journal
says:-"It has leaked out that there is regu-
larly organized" movement among the native
Radicals in this State, having for its object the
elevation Of u. S. Senator Jno. f. Lewis to
the Vice Presidents chair in 1873. They
claim that the South must have a candidate on
the Republican ticket, and that he must be
native, &c." We do not known how correct
this report may be but it is asserted that OF late
there have been political movements" in agi-
tation which require gatherings ofthe leaders,
or would be leaders, in Washington. ......-

THE MARBLE MANTEL AT MOUNT VERNON.
A correspondent of the Richmond State .Iourn-
al says:-The marble mantel, still beautifully
preserved is one of the most curious and at
tractive mementoes of the past; of the purest
Parian type, delicately wrought, and wonder.
fully elaborate in design, it symbolizes the hour
Of rest. The sun is setting behind the village
spires, the cattle homeward vending, and the
shepherd folding his snowy flock Everything
wears the look of closing day. and there is
mellow sweetness and domestic purity peryad-
ing the whole, rarely portrayed in the cold
chiseling OF marble. 1t illustrates the finest
class Of human emotions. and impress the soul
with kindred sentiments. Here lor more than
half a century, to the everlasting shame of the
guilty, this lovely work of art has been, day by
day, and nick by nick. dcspoied Of it charms,
until the sheep are sadly shorn Of their ileeces,
the COWS robbed of their most useful appendix
yes. the little lambs bereft OF an eur, here and
there, and a variety of similar outrages perpe-
trated by the lawess hands of stranges. whose
fondness for mementoes scarce y atones for such
inexcusable vandalism Now. however, this
mantel is guarded by wire screen, so that all
who desire to examine it must adopt the pri-
sioners style of ''looking through the crates
Thus, the old mante is cncased in a defensive
armor, and guarded with other assailable por-
tions OF the house and grounds.

NOTE FROM Mr.. n. p. TRIsT.-i From the
Washington Chronicle. TO the editor Of the
Chronicle feeling sure. that my: state of
health, good or bad, is Il subject of positively
no sort of interest to the public and one, too,
the nature of which in this respect could not
possibly be altered by any amount Of solicitudo
on the part of correspondents OF the press ;
whilst, on the other hand all indulgence in
such .sollcitudc, however generous and kindly
meant, has for it's inevitable effect to occasion
anxiety to my personal friends, make bold to
request, for their sake, that your columns may
be closed against all such endeavors to make
me an object of public interest, as the one to
which they were made subservicnt last Satur
day, in circulating the news, that "our worthy
postmaster, n. u. Trst esq, is now lying very
ILL.," &C., &c.
In this instance your amiable correspondent
here must have been most particularly at Il
loss for matter to entertain the public with. So
far was from, or had for long time been,
Lying very i'll, > but few men OF my age en-
JOY near so good health as mine is in all respects
or have as good use Of their limbs for all pur-
poses, with the single drawback (which there
is no reason to believe otherwise than TRANSIENT
OF lamcneSs in one leg: caused by an affection
of u peculiar nature, which requires, as the
condition Of cure, that all use Of the limb, even
for standing, be avoided as far as practicable.
In this special disablement consists the sole
cause Of my not taking my customary daily
walk of four to six miles, and not being for six
or eight hours every day at my Office, instead
of having to be communicated with from there,
as am morning, noon, and night daily.
Regretting to find myself under the neces-
sity Of encroachiug upon your time, and hop
ing that no inconvenience will be experienced
by you in finding room for this note by way of
remedy for any mischief done BY the invention
of that false rumor, h..
am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient
servant, n. 2. TRIsr.

SPARE THE BROOM.

In many families carpets are worn out more
rapidly by the INSCRIPTIONS use OF the broom
than by any other means. II the good man OF
the house, coming in from the dusty streets
chooses, instead ofgoingI round to the kitchen
door, to walk straight through the sitting room
something like half dozen grayish spots will
mark his footsteps across the carpet. Up
jumps the wife, brings the broom and vigor-
ously "persuades" the dust out clear through
the kitchen perhaps tie passage also-fnally
eieoting it at the outside door Returning,
she sits down at her sewing, and soon detects
herself scattering a few shrcds and small cut
tings on the carpet These are too insignifi-
cant for the rag bag, so the broom is again
called into requisition, this time to do the duty
offngers. Next come in the little on with
school lunch of crackers and gingerbread, O
course crumbs are dropped upon the carlet
and forth again comes the omnipotent broom.
| So il 90 s. | have known woman to "brusl
out" the room five mes in an afternoon. A
great Improvement on this old fashion is tC
have light carpet brush and small ialaneC
dust pan hung away in some convenient cor
nef: then when dust or litter calls for reno
val it can be taken up on the spot without al
most no offence to the carpet, and without thu
trouble Of dragging it through one or tw'
rooms. The brush should have long han
die for those to whom il is fatigue to stoop
Thread and bits of cloth and paper should b.
picked up by the hand II thecarpet is oonsid
cred worth preserving as long as possible.

There is a lady of an unusually adventur-
Gus spirit providing amusement for the
public in Germany. She has gone through
a variety of characters In male costume with
eminent success, acting successfully as
groom, coachman, valet, etc., to various
employers, giving perfect satisfaction ana
obtaining excellent characters, her masters
never suspecting her sex. The late war
raised nober ambitions within her. Pre-
fixing the title "Von" to her name, and
donning the blue. coat with an iron cross up
on il, Miss Bertha Weiss made her debut as
wounded Prussian officer. Passing through
various towns, she enlisted everywhere the
sympathy of the Inhabitants, who received
her as an honored guest, aud is said even
10 have made some havoc among young
ladies' hearts. Unfortunately, she was
found out just when her success was al its
highest, and, placed before tribunal was
sentenced TO several months Imprisonment
as n Punishment for her masculine aspira-
tions. So perfectly had she acted her role,
however, that up 10 the moment the verdict
was pronounced she found advocates in the
lress TO defend her manhood. The lmprisOn
ment has not moderated the ladY's ambition
