1t Is a fact worthy of general notice that
wood may be rendered, without great labor
or expense, nearly as capable of resisting
ire as brick or stone. This is done by
soaking the dried lumber short time in a
solution of soluble glass, slicate Of soda
or potash, after which it Is Immersed in
hme water by which the silcate of soda is
deeomPosed and the pores of the wood
hlied with siiicate of lime. The sub
stance Is FIRE proof and cannot be dissolved
IN water, and Its presence and eject in the
hore OF the wood are, therefore, permanent.
Soluble glass is readily obtained. bainr -
rerfy largely used for various parnoses in
his country. There Is no patent uron the
process. and it can therefore be used hv
any builder or lumber dealer.

"Beware the Ides of March ~

to the Editor Of the State Journal:
Compilations from encyclopedias, &C.,
sare not always received with iaver, but as
people are heard every March wondering
what the " Ides" are, and wherefore the
sareGt, it may be in order just now to play
the pedagogue. Ides is from an obsolete
Latin verb, to divide, and in the Roman
calendar was the 10Th of March, May, July
and October, and the 18th of the other
months. The first day of the months was
called the calead, the last days, the none.
Under the Roman Empire the Senate sat
regularly on the ides and on the calends,
except the ides of March, the anniversary
of Caesars death, which was regarded as a
dies ater, dark or fatal day. 1t was not
$50 regarded before it was chosen by the
sconspirators, and predicted by the sooth-
.sayer as the day Of Cesar's assassination.
The term Bissertile for Leap Year is also
eeyropos for our consideration and has q
Contemporary origin. The method adopted
by Cesar for numerating the days of the
month was peculiar, not to say crab-fash-
ion. 1t was the first, second, third, etc.,
day before the ides and ealends, not the
first to thirtieth day of the month. So
in putting in the extra day to accommodate
Leap Year it was inconvenient to interrupt
the Enumeration, so as the day was placed
between the sixth and fifth day before the
eealends of March, it was called the sixth
before the calend of March No. 2" 50 te

VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF THE
LIFE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA.-We
call attention to the advertisement of this
vigorous young company, to be found IN
this evenings issue. The trustees and d-
rectors embrace many of our leading mer-
chants, manufacturers and other business
men, each Of whom holds a policy in the
Association for ten thousand dollars. 1t is
essentially "home institution," the char
ter requiring that the reinsurance fund on
all policies issued within the department
shall be INFESTED and kept INFESTED within its
limits. 1t has the Endorsement of the in-
surance departments of Massachusetts,,
New York, Missouri, California and other
states has over 10000 policies in force in
some thirty-three states and in the short
space of little over three years, has accu-
mulated assets to the amount Of nearly four
millions of dollars. These facts would
seem to justify the opinion of the Hon.
julius L. Clarke, of Massachusetts,, that
''the Life Association deseryedly ranks

managed life insurance organizations in the

LOCAL MATTERS.

THE CENTRAL SCHooL.-We called at
the jeff. Davis Mansion this morning, now
occupied by 500 children of the public
school, with their superintendents and
teachers.
Mr.. Binford, the accomplished and de-
voted Superintendent of the City Schools,
made a brief tour of inspection with us.
What was designed as a call of few mo-
ments duration grew into hours, and we
were astonished and delighted at the pro-
gress that these schools have made. Our
last visit was soon after their organization,
in October, about six months ago. The
children were then brought together for the
first time. Some from private schools, and
others having had no schooling at all, pre-
viously. Under the fine discipline of a
good system, efficiently applied, this mass of
children has been welded into a compact
and harmonious little army of the soldiers
of knowledge.
1t would be asking too much to expect
the perfection attained in the long estab-
lished schools of older cities, but we are
confident that, considering the date Of this
organization, this group of schools will
compare favorably with those of any other
city.
In some rooms We were struck on enter
ing with the peculiar evidence of that mag
netic power in the teacher, which is the basis
of professional success. In these rooms
the pupils seemed radiant with the electric
energy which they had absorbed. Such
teachers are rare anywhere, but fortunate
is that school that has the most of them.
The true teacher will aim to secure this
magnetic condition that draws the little
minds to it and sets them on fire with en-
thusiasm. Mr.. Binford has this himself,
and we are quite sure he is communicating
measure. This school tells better for him.
self and his faithful associates than vol
ume of eulogy.
AT the close of the morning exercise we
were permitted to review the school as it
moved out, in excellent order, keeping step
to simple march. We were shown ex-
amples Of what it could do marching in
mass, and were permitted to look upon
five hundred bright, happy faces, turned
up to the glorious sunlight, beaming with
intelligence and happiness, and singing
glad songs. To us it was far more
beautiful and exciting spectacle than the
splendor of a military parade. II seemed
a guarantee of all fine possibilities for the
future of our city. 1t was a glorious
spectacle, and the songs which were
waited away upon the baliny spring air
were redolent with thanksgiving, and with
prophesy to us. 1t was the first day that
they had been able to assemble for many
weeks, as they have no hall large enough;
and so are compelled to meet in the yard.
We trust that the generous thought of
the Common Council will furnish these
good children suitable hall for meeting
when the weather is not fit for outdoor
exercises. We shall not soon forget our
delightful visit to the jeff. Davis Mansion,
and the bright and noble faces we saw
there, and we wish for them all, both
teachers and pupils, success and happi-
ness.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL LECTURE
Rev. A. r. Miller lectured to-day at II M.
before the young ladies of the Normal
school. He announced as his subject ''The
Great Law of Life.o This consists in
maintaining an upright, moral character
under all circumstances. This implies an
enlightened conviction of the existence and
sovereignty of Almighty God /; for the law
we have announced is a necessary result of
the character of God, and as immutable as
the character which ordained it. The prin-
ciple that God delights in virtue was recog-
nized by the heathen. How much more
should it be observed by us under the broad
light of Revelation.
This law is not mere abstraction, but
is of the most vital practical import and
of universal applicability. And it is i'm
possible to evade its solemn obligations,
for God regns everywhere and takes cog
nizance of all human actions. Happiness
cannot be attained on principles adverse to
the will Of God. The virtuous are more
prosperous even in the present life than the
wicked. The triumphs Of wickedness are
only ephemeral, but those of virtue are
enduring.
Intelligence is great auxiliary in the
cultivation of perfect moral character,
and is an indispensable requisite to insure
permanent success in life. A high degree
of moral courage is necessary in order to
resist the Establishments of fashionable So
ciety, the Elusive voice of Circean pleasures,
the vile suggestions Of temporary expedi.
ency, and false public sentiment. Princi-
pies of true plety should be maintained
and exemplitied under all circumstances,
in life.
The lecture was fervid, spirited, and well
delivered, and listened to with the utmost
attention. AT its conclusion the school
sang chant, and were then dismissed.
