His acting in The Witches of New York;

Mr.. Akin will come some more.'v

Winter Clothing.

In his experiments to determine the heat
conducting power of linen, cotton, wool,
and silk, Sir Humphrey Davy found not
only that these materials conducted heat in
the order given above, linen being the best,
but also that the tightness or looseness OF
weaving possessed an important influence.
1t is therefore evident that in the selection
of winter clothing, and especially of that to
be worn next to the skin, the materials of
least conducting power, as wool and silk,
should be chosen, and the fabrics should be
loosely woven.
AS regards the external garments the
same rules apply with equal force, but in
this case care should be taken to remove
o~vercoats and shawls when in q warm
room; especially should this precaution be
observed in the instance of the furs worn
by ladies. The habit of wearing these arti-
cles for hours in succession while shopping
and visiting, often so weakens the powers
of resistance in the wearers that they be-
come the ready victims of intlammations of
the throat and lungs. To such an extent
does this occur in New York that many of
the most skiltul physicians advise their pa
TENTS to discontinue the use of furs, and
the advice is often followed with the most
satisfactory enthusiastically for No
member.

OUR GERMAN VoTE.--If our friend of
the Stats Gazette can console himself by
arguing that the Germans of Richmond did
not vote the Republican ticket, we do not
know that We can object to his doing so.
1t is a well-known fact, however, that the
bulk of the German vote was cast for the
Republican candidates. Indeed, all classes
of our adopted citizens, as well as the ma
tives, tired of Democratic misrule here,
have thrown off the yoke and are deter.
mined to better their condition. The
working-men of Richmond have covered
themselves all over with glory in this cam
paign. To that element Of honest thinkers
Germans, Irishmen, Italians, Americans,
or of whatever nationality-which has
achieved the victory, we return our heart
felt thanks, and look to it to continue the
work until justice, happiness and prosperi-
tty are firmly established throughout the
land,

A POLITICAL OUTRAGE.-The BARRIERS
Of Richmond, we regret to announce, are
the first to be guilty of discriminating
against men on account of politics. Since
the 9th instant, they have by concurrent
resolution, determined to charge Demo-
Gratis and Liberal Republicans five cents
more for shaving than they do their Repub-
lican customers. Upon inquiry this morn
ing as to the cause, we were told it was
owing to the increased length of their faces
since the election, necessarily requiring
more lather and labor. We condemn the
action of the BARRIERS, and call upon the
City Council to pass an ordinance prohibit
ing all unjust discrimination on account of
long faces, race, color, or previous condi-

Anecdotes Of Daniel Webster.

Mr.. Webster was full of fun and humcr
at times, and when in company with q few
intimate friends he unbent and exhibited
his wonderful versatility of talent, to the
delight of all listeners. He had marvellous
narrative powers, was a capital mimic and
initiated a broken dialect to perfection.
He was not an unamiable man, and never
said q malicious thing in oil his life; but
when perturbed or uncomfortable, either
from indisposition or to the effect of exu-
berant conviviality, he was as unapproach-
able as a %porcupine, and often INDUCED in
peevish EXPLANATIONS and ~satirical remarks.
l once heard him describe a visit that he
made to the elder Adams at Quincy, a few
months before his death. The venerable
sage, then ninety years of age, received
him with cordially, thanking him for his
civllity in coming to see him. He was ly-
ing in bed, supported by pillows, a heavy,
plethoric man, inclining to dropsy, and
drawing his breath with much difficulty.
He seemed to pump up his words, Mr..
Webster said, from o great depth, and
spoke in short sentences. +.
"How are you, Mr.. Adams" inquired
his visitor.
'sFeeble and nearly worn OUT was the
reply. ''The old tenement is in a state of
dilapidation, and from what | can judge OF
the intention of the landlord, he is not likely
to lay anything more out in repairs"
Meeting him at the Astor house in 1874,
| mentioned that Nathaniel p. Tallmadge,
lately governor of Wisconsin, was dead.
"Ah! is Tallmadge dead? Well. all the
tears that will be shed on the occasion lie in
an onion"
Managing politicians who assumed to
control the movements of the people were
his aversion. Mr.. Webster went down into
his grave with the firm conviction hat he
had been defrauded of the presidency by
the jealousy and intrigues of his rivals. He
entertained no doubt hat the great mass Of
his countrymen were anxious TO make him
president, but were oyerruled and thwartet
by the party leaders.
He accosted me nee on Pennsylvania
avenue !: "How long have you been in

GRAND DIVISION Sons OF TEMPER.
ANCE.-The Grand Division Sons of
Temperance met in this city last night. G.
P. MeCabe, G. W. P.,made his report, and
refers to the color question which has ex-
cited our temperance friends for some time.
He says he has issued charters to
ten colored divisions, but the Grand
Scribe of the order refused to sign
the charters. By the advise of the Most
Worthy Patriarch he had proceeded to Or
ganize the divisions without such signature,
the intention being to form the colored divi-
sions into q separate Grand Division, and
then into a national division of their own
color, deeming this the best way to get over
the difficulty. While the colored divisions
are thus given the name, determination is
made impossible by the fact that they are
furnished with a separate PASSWORD. The
report was received, and that portion of it
referring to the color question was referred
to q special committee.
