By reference to our advertising columns it will
be SEEM that new company has been formed for
the direction and control of Burke's Iron Works,
with the very able establisher of the foundry as
President We presume that will take
issue wi tn us upon the proposition, that such
great agents of internal improvement as this, are
destined to be the controlling sources of our
wealth. 1t is by them alone that our vast re-
sources can be converted into cash and made to
suhservc tn purposes which the Great Creator
intended they should in granting them to us as
q portion Of our heritage Their utilization is
bouad to result in permanent blessings to
State, and they, when given form and shape, will
as surely constitute the great bulk of Virginia's
wealth as that day follows night. Let foundries,
&C., then, spring up all over the land, and let
proper and substantial encouragement be given
them by our own people, and the day will not be
far distant when our peoples spirit will again
revive under the genial influence of general pros
perity.

WALL PAPEBS--A gentleman who has
had fourteen years. experience on the matter
regsrding which he now directs the attention
of the public, makes the appalling statement
that not only that-as has long been general
ly known green papers for house walls con
tain arsenical preparations which for years
NAV evolve poisonous particles, but that arse
mic is used not only in papers containing
green, but frequently, and in large quantities,
in paper OF all colors, even in some that are
nearly white. As his authority, he quotes San
eminent analytic chemist, late lecturer on
chemistry at st. Bartholemew's hospital
(this must be either DIR. Stenhouse or the late
DIR. Matthiesen)-to whom he sent papers OF
MANY colors-dar brown, buff, white, blue,
and various delicate shades OF gray, dIab and

they apparently gave rise, were suspected OF

AN INVOLUNTARY LARcENr.-A Sacra-
mento lady found herself guilty of larceny, the
other day, under rather peculiar circumstan-
ces. She was riding in crowded railway car,
aud occupied a seat with another lady pas
seuger. Like a great many other women OF
the present day she wore curls-her own hair
of course, but it wasn't fastened on strictly ac-
cording to natures programme. BY and by,
as the train was jolted along, she felt some
thing falling about her face and neck, and in
a second it flashed across her brain that her
curls had become detached. The piedicament
was shocking one, but she endeavored TO
save herself as much as possible by quietly
passing the capillary ornaments into ber pock-
ct. thanking her stars that she was almost at
her destination. At the station she fastened
to the dressing room to repair damages to her
toilet, when, behold the mirror Ienected
back the fact that her curs were IN thelf
proper position, and an examination OF lhose
in her pocket showed that they were not hers,
but of different color, belonging to the lady
who sat by her side in the car.
THE RIGHT KIND OF LABOR REFoRM.-A
statement was made by Mr.. Nutal, we'll
known leader of the cooperative movement
i'm England, at a recent meeting of the Brit
ish social science association, revealing pros
meet for the laboring classes which makes the
pichemes of the international and of the "Ia-
hor reformers" very unimportant. He show
cd that in the manufacturing borough of
Oldham, with a total population of 10000,
there were cooperative societies Numbering
1000 members. They had capital of $780,
600 in their six cooperative stores, and $780,
600 invested in other places. They had built
rs working-men's houses in the last twelve
months. They have corn-mlll, large halls,
and five libraries, and consultation rooms
where they meet weekly for discussion.
They have a capital OF Sl.500,0O0, invested in
cotton mills and loans, and in one OF these
cotton mills, which represents capital OF
half million dollars, nine-tenths of the
shareholders are working men. A good ques-
ton for our "labor reform" conventions to
discuss would be, how many years of perorat,
ing and gaddng about the country 1t wo9ld i
take to produce such results as these'-A"e

PRooF PosIrIvE.-A student in one OF the
New York colleges was charged by the Faeul,
W with having had barrel Of ale deposited
in his room, contrary, of course, to rule ana
n ssre. He received a summons to appear be-
fore the President, who SAID:
4.Sir. am informed that you have barrel
of ale IN your room.
s. "Yes, sill" .,o,
4Wby. the fact is, sir, my physician advised
me to try little ale each day as tone, and
not wishing to stop at the various places
where this beverage is letailed, determined
tn have barrel taken to my room."
sIndeed! And have you derived any bene-
fit from itr'
"Ah! yes, sir When the barrel was first
taken to my room, a few weeks since, could
scarcely lift 1t. Now can carry it with the
greatest ease."

A prominent lawyer was hailed while pass

"General come in here moment, we have

his watch to be fixed, and it cost ten cents to
do it. and keep it week, and charge him
six dollars, what per cent. do l make? We
have been figuring and make it nine hundred
nsr cent and have only got up to one dollar?
HW;eIln replied the general, Il do not wonder
at yonr,perpIexity; +; for it is well known, and
the celebrated Babbit calculating machine has
demonstrated, that at certain points in pro-
oressiye numbers the law governing them
changes. In this case the law would change,
and long before it would reach the six dollars
it would lun out of per cent. and into what

Rev. Peter Cartwright, the veneer
able and eccentric Methodist preach
er, relates the following:
ION one occasion l vas engaged to
preach for a brother minister, and
while reading my hymn, General
jackson and his wife came into the
church. While the congregation
were engaged In singing, the nervous
brother for whom l was officiating,
whispered to me that General Jack
son and lady was present, and hoped
that I would be careful and n 1t make
any remarks that would hurt their
feelings. Singing over, I arose, and
looking over the congregation, said |:
my brother behind me says General
Jackson and lady are present, and he
wants me to be careful and not hurt
their feelings. I wish to say to Gen
eral Jackson that, unless he gives
his heart to Christ be will go To hell.
General Jackson, without religion, Is
no more in the sight OF God than q
picayuue nigger.y This so pleased
the General that strong friendship
sprung up between us, which contin-
ued as long as Jackson lived"
