. INFRINGEMENT AND REFORM
Committee ON Finance of the House OF
Delegates, this morning, submitted their
report in relation to the pay and mileage
of members of the General Assembly.
They recommend slight reduction, fix
ing the pay of the Speaker at eight, instead
Of ten dollars, and that of the members to
five, instead Of six dollars per diem. They
also recommend reduction in mileage
from twenty to ten cents per mile.
We have imagined we detected but little
disposition of the majority in this body to
submit to any reduction in their pay, and
we have no doubt the report Of the com
mittee will be rejected. qsilsF .,.. .
/ The onerous duties they perform, of
having to remain at the Capitol two and a
half hours each day, is but poorly oompen-
sated for, even if they continue to receive
six dollars day, their present pay.

NATIONAL AGRICULTURALAi MEETING.
Hon. Frederick Watts, Commissioner of
Agriculture, Washington city has addressed
a letter to the agricultural colleges which
have already been established throughout
the country under the act donating public
lands for that purpose, State Agricultural
Societies, State Horticultural societies, and
State boards. of agriculture, proposing the
deputation of two delegates to meet in con-
veition, in Washington, on Thursday, the
10Th day Of February next, to take such
action regarding the interests of agriculture
as they shall deem expedient.
L. G.. Leigh, Esq. Secretary of the
Virginia State Agricultural Society, re-
ceived copy of this letter, which he read
before the executive committee Of the as
sociation on the evening of the 10th inst.
The communication, together with an in
vitation from the officers of the national
agricultural association, which holds its
next annual session in st. Louis, the
fourth Monday in May next, requesting
the cooperation of the agricultural society
of Virginia with that association, was re-
feired to the president, Mr.. Harvie, with
power to appoint the several representa-
tives therein called for, if he deemed it
necessary, and to take any further action
that might seem to him proper and ex-
pedent.
We certainly hope Mr.. Harvie will
promptly take steps to have the agricultural
interests of Virginia well represented in
both these meetings. We have nothing to
lose, but everything to gain by letting our
condition and resources be known, and by
gaming all the knowledge possible, in order
that we may improve the former by the de-
velopment Of the latter t ~

THE IRON. INTERESTS OF VIRGINIA.
Among the mineral deposits of Virginia, it
is well established fact that none are
richer or more inexhaustible than iron.--
The ore yields from sixty to seventy per
cent, purer by far than the great Iron
mountain ore of Missouri, Or any other
known deposits in the world. When it is
considered that these iron deposits are con-
tiguous to the vast coal fields of the State,
the forests of valuable timber, the splendid
water-power, and through all of which we
have lines of railway already in operation,
an idea Of our as yet undeveloped wealth
may be obtained. a.-.l
AS an evidence that these fine natural
sources of wealth are becoming known and
appreciated outside of Virginia, and are
destined soon to be developed and made to
contribute to the material prosperity OF, the
Commonwealth and nation, we may state
that we are informed upon reliable authors
ty that the Glendon Iron Company of
Pennsylvania, has recently bought large
tracts of iron land along the line Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, and is now
engaged in erecting buildings and furnaces,
with view of immediate active operations.
When all the circumstances are taken
into consideration, there is really not much
to wonder at that the rich deposits OF Vir-
ginia have not been better known to the
outside world. There has for ages been a
sort of Chinese wall around the Common
wealth, successfully excluding the capital
and energy necessary to her full develop
ment. Generation after generation have
lived and passed away from her, and the
| fabulous natural wealth reposing in her
bosom only partially known and not at all
appreciated. The wall is being razed to
the ground, and soon even our closest
| ncighbors will be dazzled to view the vast
riches which will be unfolded. 4aH

How - Kill Them.

Heretofore much has been said about the de.
struction of the Colorado potato beetle. In small
patches they have been successfully kept off by
hand picking, but this tedious process is hardly
possible in large fields. Many persons certify
that, by little starving, perhaps, at first, they
induced their chickens and turkeys to feed upon
them and thus have saved good-sized fields. The
most certain and reliable remedy, however,
known at present, is the use of Paris green. Its
poisonous nature is, to he snre an objection hut
if properly handled there is no danger in it, and
il is "a sure preventive.
The method of preparing it is to mix it with
about twenty times its bulk of -four, lime OF ash
es, or even with common EARTH Put the mixture
in a tin vessel that has perforated cover, like a
pepper box; attach it to pole five or six feet
long, and sift over the vines when the dew is on
In this way there is no danger in using it, aud

Philadelphia, the sooner the fashion is squelched
the better will it be for the peace of society. The
husband in question, one night, missed from the
supper table his wife, Matilda, and inquired of
his little boy whittier had she gone, and just at
that moment the dining groom door opened and
lady entered. The husband observed a wild look
in tie eye, and also noticed that she was attired
in an Outlandish style, having on. as he says, a
dress with suntowers, and cabbages, and pump
kins worked all over it, and lot of snakes SPUR

Rising, the man said, - Madam, whom do you
wish to sect" and then said aside, 'Poor thing,
she's crazy" That last remark settled the bust
ness for him, rs the weird female made bolt and
tightly graspesl his Adams apple, and choked him
until his face assumed the color of banner of the
Commune. After she had enjoyed surfeit of
choking her husband, she Topped into chair, and
with tears conrsing each other down her cheeks.
exclaimed: THAT l should ever live to hear my
husband say that l was crazy!" This amused
the husband, and elevating himself to his full
proportions, he said:
"You cant blame me, madam, for supposing
you I'LL insane woman, and now that know you
really the mother of these interesting chill

sandy soil is generally selected-and with
Judgment. The peach cannot bear excess Of mois-

drainage and easy passage of the roots. But
these qualities apply not only to the peach, but
to trees and plants in general. We see no reason

The Da,dcIien or Taraxae.m.

TaraXacum roots are used in variety of WAYS
in India: one useful form is that of paste. which
is made by pounding the fresh roots, putting the
mass into tins OF jars, and gently baking or heat
ing in an oven; when cool. the paste is ready for
Use and can be kept for long time. To prepare
dandeliOn coffee, the roots are washed dried in
the sun and cut up in small pieces, after which
they are roasted in a similar way as true coffee
they then ground, and to every nine ounces
of coffee one ounce of pounded dandelion root
may be added: these proportions make an excel
lent and useful beverage. The Use of this coffee
in India has been much recommended.
Lieutenant Pegson, in a communication to the
Agri-horticultural Society of India, advocating
the more generalcultvation and use of the dan
delion, says: medical men admit the value of
this preparation, and / know several gentlemen
in India who are, by their own admission, kept
alive by the daily use of taraXacnm coffee. 1t is

Vaccination NO, only Preventive, b., Cure

MIR. X. L. Furley, l.. X. L. =, III a letter to

nation is not only preventive OF disease, but a
cure. 1t is, he says, ascertaned that, when per-
son liable to take smallpox, is exposed to the in
fection the poison circulates in the blood for eight
days before producing any febrile symptoms; then
commence headache, sickness, pain in the back,
suffused eyes, and a peculiarly white-furred
tongue,-a group of symptoms that belong to no
other disease, and which last for three days. 1t
has been held and acted on since Jenner's great
discovery, more than eighty years ago, that it is
not only wrong but fatal to vaccinate any one
during that stage Ofthe disease, the subsequent
one when the eruption makes its appearance. Eu-
Mr.. Fnrley says he can show, from eases under
his at the present time, that if you vaccinate
duIing the febrile stage the fever is slightly in
creased, but the eruption does not make its ap-
pearance, and if you vaccinate during the erup-
tion stage. the eruption is Immediately arrested
The mature lymph overtakes the immature poison,
and the disease terminates. II the eruption has

danger of Infection if not, it dies away in pimpes
Mr.. Furley feels confident that, if every doctor
to vaccinate each case of smallpox that
comes under his care at once, many hundreds OF
lives would be spared and many hundreds OF
pounds would he saved. In the meantime, he
invites members of the medical profession to ac.
to accompany him through the patients he has
under his care. and thus possibly stamp out the
epidemic in few weeks.
