Henry A. Wise Of Virginia, constrained by
some law of his beng to "appear before the pub
lie" as often as possible, has recently delivered
lecture in Washington. His topic was "The
future prosperity, wealth, power, and unity Of
the United States.' He should by this time be
qualified to say something worth hearing on
this subject; but it does not appear that he told
the audience frankly that he and the other con-
fedeFate traitors had learned a very important
lesson from their desperate but vain attempt to
DESTROY the Union. He described the country
finely, and predicted its rapid growth, saying
that in his view a great city will
arise near the capes OF Chesapeake Bay
which will be second only 10 New York.
The rise of this coming city has been hindered
heretofore, he thinks, because the interests Of
the plantations have heretofore controlled the
outlets of the Chesapeake and these interests
have always been hostile to the development of
commerce and manufactures" He says "plan-
tations" but means slavery, that unspeakabe
curse, which has in many ways hindercd the
prosperity of Virginia and of the whole south,
and has mace the southern people incapable of
the business enterprise which creates great
cities

Several other bits of advice are afeciionaley
urged upon the "liberal republicans but the
general tenor of the Worlds counsel is, as we
have stated; they must seem and profess to be
Independent of the democrats, and any alliance
between them must be ignored, and Unnecessary
denied. This is 4 necessary condition of sue
cess in the purpose which both have at heart.
''But," it is added in a stage Whisper not in
tended for the public ear, "Of course we under
stand each other perfectly, NUNS the word You
know, and we win beat Grant vet" The pro
found gravity with which the World in
yites its liberal allies to Join it in play
ing this shallow farce is very anus
ing. Political intrigues are apt to come to light
sometimes through treachery, sometimes by ac-
cident and to be defeated by publicity, but this
astute conspirator proclaims from the house
tops that secrecy is absolutely necessary for the
success of his plans, and he is determined to
have il at all hazards. The World has. before
now, been more than once cursed as a marpot,
and its reputation for adroit management is not
likely to be redeemed at this rate Disaffectcd
republicans may now know how they are re-
garded.by the democrats and what use the lat
ter hope to make Of them.

snappy Oratory.

From the New York Commercial.i
Snapp-Snapp- who's Snapp2 Well,
Snapp represents somewhere or other in
congress. His peculiarly is that he
never speaks. 'Snapp is the Delsarte of
the house He has a most expressive
nose, and he occasionally hightens its
effect by pressing the end of his left
thumb to the tip of it, and wriggling his
digits to the great delight and edificatlon
of the whole house. While the Presi-
dents civil servic reforms were under
consideration, so melody appealed to
Snapp for his opinion. Snapp responded
by rising in his seat, adjus ting his nose
at an angle of fort.y-fve degrees, apply
ing his thumb as aforesaid, and then
working his fingers as if performing a
staccato movement, upon an invisible
flute. The effect. as prodigious, espe-
cially upon Snaps nose, for it seemed
to grow suddenly lar ger and more fierce
ly red, whereupon Snapp sank into, his
seat and coaxed the agitated organ into
its normal conditions again. Mr.. Dawes
attempted to explain the phenomenon
by observing that Snapp must have had
a rush of brains to his nose, but Cox
saw" Dawes and went him one better,
by suggesting that in that case, Snapp
ought to be put under the care of some
body, as he was liza BILE at any moment to
blow his brains out ! Snapp is evidently
on the high road to fame, and that he
deserves it nobody can deny. r

Don,t crowd Us TOO Much.

Mark Twain says that when women
frame laws the first thing they will do
will be to enact;sa ffHlas ua
l. That all men should be at home at
ten pm, without fail.
2. That married men should bestow
considerable attention upon their own
wives. adf u
3. That it should be hanging ofiense
to sell whisky in saloons, and that fines
and disfranchisements should follow in
such places.
4. That the smoking of cigars to ex-
cess should be forbidden, and the smok-
ing of pipes ut tterly abolished.
5. That the wife should have the title
of her own pro perty when she marries q
man that hasn any.
"Such tyranny as this" says Mark,

could never end ure such degraded thral-
dom Women, go away Seek not to
beguile US of our imperial privileges
Content yourselv es with your little femi-
nine triaes-your babies, your benevo-
lent societies, ar ID your knitting--and

half price, too; b at beware! we don't

which seemed an eternity, the balloon
struck the branches Of tree, and went
crashing through the limbs. The ropes

Married alFun un.v

In Virginia, wher the law fixes the
marriage fee at one dollar, there is a
reminiscence of couple who, many
years ago, called on a parson and re.
quested to him marry them.
Where is my feeY said the old func'
tionary. 4bn4 N9o
The parties who were to unite their
fortunes did so at once, and found the
joint amount 10 be TWEEN ty-seven cents.
81 can't marry you for that sum, said
the irate old gentleman.
"A little bit Of service will go long
way, suggested the male applicant.
"0h, no, said the parson, you don't
pay for the size of the pill but for-the
good you hope it vii do you"
The lass, intent OH marriage, began to
weep, but the parsoi was inexorable, and
the couple turned s adly to depart. Just
then a happy thou ght seemed to strike
the forlorn maiden, and she turned and
cried, through her tears:
"Please, sir, if you can't marry us
full up, won't you larry us twenty-seven
cents WORTH We can come for the rest
some other time"
This was too mut h for the parson. He
married them :" full up" and they went

Professor Donaldson, the aronaut,
made another ascension from Norfolk,
Va, on the 18th inst, which came near
being his last fight 10 the clouds. When
at the hight Of one mile from the earth,
and while performing on the trapeze,
Donaldson concluded that he would de-
scend, and for this purpose pulled the
valve cord to allow the gas 70 escape
from the balloon. The valve did not
open and he pulled again II still re-
NAMED closed, and there being no time
TO lose, he pulled with beth hands. Again

a strong, steady jerk. There was a

noise and he knew that the balloon had

ing prevented from so doing by the rush
of air from beneath, but closed up al

A committee of English musicians has
recently adopted g new pitch to be used
in testing such instruments as may be
sent to the international Exhibition new
open at the South Kensington museum,
London. The higher a note is, the
greater are the number of vibrations per
second. and in the present English con-
cert or Exeter Hall pitch the middle G
has Eve hundred and thirty-eight vibra-
lions per second. The "diapason nor
NAL" decreed by Napoleon Ill, and re-
commended by the French musicians,
has five hundred and twenty-five vibra-
tons while the lowerpitch recommended
by Mr.. Mauus has five hundred and
eight vibrations The Stuttgardt diapa-
son, recently adopted by the English mu-
sioiaps. has FIVE hundred and twenty
eight vibrations. 1t is, however, suggest
ed that the selection of the French pitch
would have led the way to the adoption
of international uniformity in music.

race is deteriorating, and thus gives the

A Years Brain Work I'm England.
Over three thous and FIVE hundred new
books appeared in England last year,
besides one Thousand three hundred new
editions-the exact total Of both classes
being four thousand eight hundred and
thirty-fve-and the most notable cir
cumstance in the literary history of the
twelvemontbsw was the decrease of novels
from two hundred in 1870 to one hun
dred and ffty-five in 1871. Still, lest it
might be inferred that the English nov
elists are falling into disfavor, the statis-
ticians are careful to add the explana-
ton that the number Of the new editions
Of romances has largely increased during
the year-which is a tribute to the old
writer's. Works on political economy
are rapidly increasing in numbers
last year against &c in ls70.-Theologi-
cal books are in greater demand than
formerly-nearly $50 having appeared
last year. Educational books are also
in demand-nearly ZOO having been pub
hshed during 1871. The number Of
American importations into the English
book market sensibly diminished last
year-tbe figures being 322 in 1871
against 426 in 1870.
