THE LABOR QUESTION; Thoughts on Paper Cur
rency and Lending on Interest, as affecting
Labor, Commerce and Manufactures. BY
= WILLIAM Brown. Published by j. B. Lippin-
colt Co., Philadelphia. =. F..
Iuio NOlulle pIeScutS JIG Sicat argument
against paper currency, and in favor of a
return to specie basis in the exchange of
commercial values. The writer Ingenious
ly labors to show that paper currency
takes from labor without giving any equiv
alent in return; that its artificial value
tends to the building up of huge fortunes
in the hands of those who manipulate or
control the paper currency of country,
while labor is robbed of the chief part of
its surplus earnings by the 'slittle financial
joker" in protected greenback sheets. The
work is ably written, and the author has
apparently expended much thought, and
no small amount of ingenious disquisition,
in his attempt to fathom the mysteries of
the banking system. To the student Curl
Gus of grasping all that may be advanced
on this speculative subject, the book will
be one of no small interest. Ellyson &
Taylor have it for sale. +. 5.,.--.

BACKLOG STUDIES have been quickly APP
preciated by the press. The New York Times
says that these sketches, 'for light, airy, but
genuine delineations of character, have rarely
been surpassed by any writer of the present
day" The Boston Transcript says that "ior
delicacy of toneh, quaint sentiment and quiet
humor, BACKLOG STUDIES are the best of
things in their way The Nation thinks that

increases the evidence given in his previous pei
formanees that we have in him humorist of

the N. Y. Mail says it is the s'best thing he has
written, and the best thing in its way any
American or English magazine has had for many
a day." and the Boston Commercial Bulletin
says "BACK-LOG STUDIES constitute de-

WEpublish an extract from our neighbor
of the Eaq,wer to-day on the subject of
"Calico-Dressing," which we heartily
commend in every particular. While the
ladies of London are moving in the matter
of greater economy, neatness and becom-
ingness in dress, we hope that those of
Richmond will not fail to move in the same
direction. We can point to hundreds of
commercial and business failures, in the
leading cities and larger towns of the Uni
ted States, without going out of our own
circle of acquaintance, which have been the
direct result of domestic extravaganza,
arising from an inordinate love of fashiona-
BILE dress, and the qualification of every
pride that goes along with it.
Let the young women of the country be
rightly educated in the school Of domestic
economy, and there is not young man of
any worth in the community anywhere
who will not marry at the age of twenty-one
rather than remain single. And he will do
this as matter of economy for there is
no reason why his expenses should not be
less married than single. There are hun
dred little things that young wife can do,
and be all the better for doing, which will
go towards lessening his expenses as a
single man. With this reform successfully
begun and carried out by the ladies'. ninety-
nine per cent. of all the social vices of the
community will disappear at once. The
domestic circle will be found the chief source
OF happiness everywhere, and new tone of
morals will at once begin to peryade every
community.
COOPERATIVE ORGANIZATIONS AMONG
FARMERS
The letter of our Hamilton correspondent
will be found of great interest to all our
farmers. The splendid farms of Loudoun
are due to good farmers, and correct prac-
tice rather than to the natural superiority
of the soil. They have raised grass and
fed sheep and cattle, and planted orchards.
They have divided their lands into small
farms, and given thorough culture to fewer
acres with large profits as a return. Now
they are building factories for cheese maxi
ing, and organizing to protect themselves
from the roguish middiemcn, who eat up
their profits in the market. Let their ex-
ample be followed everywhere, and Vir-
ginia will be lifted into prosperity which
she never knew before. Gsr

DISCOVERY OF OIL WELLS IN ARI- zoNA.-The Todd geological explor- ing party, which has just arrived at Los Angeles from Arizona, report that they have discovered and located flowing oil springs in the Territory that will yield from seventy to one hundred barrels of oil per day. It has been believed for some time that oil springs existed in Arizona, but we have never heard positively of any discoveries being made. The dis coverers refuse to disclose the locality of the springs.-[ [San Diego Union, August 15.
