AWoRD TO THE LADIES. MRS. ATE
REYNOLDS, of Philadelphia, will be in Richmond
on Monday, 2Sth inst, for the purpose Of giving
instruction in the use OF Cornwelrs Self.flttipe
Waist and Shoulder Measure, by the use OF
which perfect fitting dress may be assured for
any contour or shape.
This is great labor-saving method, and rests
on positive scientific principles, and is therefore
as unerring as exquisite in its results. 1t is as
much superior to the system heretofore in vogue
as the modern Sewing Machine is to the old
way of stitching by hand 1t does away entire
ly with the bother and annoyance Of trying on.
For few days, MRS REYNOLDS will have rooms
at No. 3l5 Fourth street, between Broad and
marshall, and will take pleasure in cutting
dresses, basques, sacques, &C., free of charge,
guaranteeing perfect fit in every instance Cali

! :, We this morning had pleasant ride or
the Alexandra, Orange and Manassas
railroad to this part of Prince William
county. Mr.. John B. Clagett, of Wash
ington, was with US, looking for Vir-
glnla farm for his son.
This place has been one of the most
thriving. since the war, in this part of
Virginia. AT the close of the war there
was scarcely a tenement of any kind
ieit, except the brick mansion of Mr.,
Wier, which was in turn used as
headquarters by both General Beauregard
and General Sickles. The town now has
between seventy and eighty buildings,
some Of which are very fire. By the
polite guidance of G. O. Round, ESQ.,, /
have had a pleasant "looking around
town." Church privileges are good the
schools also; q good printing office
here, the Manassas Sentinel - with
plenty OF mechanic shops, and merchant
stores, one steam mill all presenting an
ar of prosperity, in the midst of truly
line and fertile farming country. There
are two hotels here and I find the "Ma-
nassas Hotel comfortable and pleasant.
The abundant quarries here of excellent
red stone, for building, &c., are source
OF much gain to the owners, and an at
traction to the place, There are some |
me gardens here, particularly the hand |

dener, Mr.. Mathis. ee'fia hH.

Row ON NINTH STREET.-Last night
about s O'Clock, Mr.. George W. Smith and
his two sons, George L. and w. W. Smith,
made an attack upon Colonel 0. 7. Beard,
near the corner of Ninth and Capitol streets,
and beat him pretty severely over the head.
The row soon attracted the attention of the
police and the assailing parties were ar
rested and bailed for their appearance at
the police, court this morning. After an
investigation of the affair by Judge White
to-day they were sent on to the grand Jury
for Indictment under the statute. This
breach Of the peace grew out of case
which was before the police court few
days ago. The parties are all well known
here, and the whole affair is much to be
regretted.

Physical Science as CiyiIizing
Force. q

1T is said that hundred thousand slaves
were employed at one time in the construc.
ton of the Pyramids of Egypt; one hun.
bred and twenty thousand were engaged
in hewing the obelisks of Thebes, and an
| equal number in digging the ancient canal
which joined the Nile and the Red Sea.
| These slaves were treated as beasts of bur-
| den, or as mere machines, of which
Athens, in her palmy days, had four hum
dred thousand, with but twenty thousand
freemen. -s 30
Now. we owe the abolition of this condi-
ton of humanity, in the higher civilized
nations of the world at the present day.
to the study of the laws of the operations
OF Nature. By knowledge of these laws
the energies of the elements of Nature are
substituted for human labor, and by this
substitution mankind is not only relieved
from brute-labor, but also given control of
energies which enable him to produce
effects which could only result from the
muscular power of beings of superior
order. 1t may be shown by simple
calculation that about fifteen tons of an
thracite coal burned in the furnace of one
OF our best steam-engines exerts an energy
equal to that of an able-bodied slave. |
working ten hours day for thirty years
of his active life. 1t is this substitution of
the energies of Nature for the power of
human muscle that, as we have said, has
abolished slavery and elevated humanity
TO q higher plane than was ever dreamed
of by the wisest sages of ancient times,
10 illustrate this, a few examples will
suffice. As one of these, we NAV refer to
he progress of the arts of locomotion.
md the means which science has afforded
or the instantaneous interchange of thought
between men in the most distant parts of
ne earth as another, to the production
# clothing fabrics, in which single iidi-
al, directing the energies of an engine Of
herman power, is capable of doing three {
thousand times the work of an ordinary
7eaver. As third example. we nav il
ONT to the art of printing by means of the r
team press, in which single man will c
lake more copies in given time of a COM
osition, than a million of ancient tram C
'rlbers could do. Science is every day t
'eating new arts, and modifying and i'm q
rowing the process of old ones. We are
ieptical as regards the value of lost arts. S
IS true there are arts which have fallen [
to dlsuse. and others which depend upon
e skill and patience Of the individual, but y
me which rests on any lost secret of Y
ature which science cannot restore .

OF nice young men, and commented upon
them with unsparing sarcasm. She showed
no less intimate acquaintance with the

ness of every sort, and steadfastly pursues
the right in the face of the world. The
lecture was most admirable in fact and deliy-
cry, and was well received by the audience,
which was large and embraced many of
the best citizens of Richmond, We are sure
it will have good and lasting effect upon
those who listened to it. The subject of
the lecture tonight is Successful People,u
and all may be sure that it will be handled
with great skill. We bespeak for the dis
tinguished lady full audience.

WAR ON THE BABY CARRIAGES
With the opening Of spring an occasional
broadside is poured into the baby carriages.
which, with their precious freight, throng
our streets. parks, &C., on favorable occa.
sions. There are worse nuisances than
baby carriages. Indeed. we don't place
baby carriages in that category at all. The
sidewalks are quite frequently INSTRUCTED by
strings OF men or womenlor mixture of
sexes, reaching from the buildings to the
curb, moving at leisurely pace, through
which it is quite impossible for person to
pass without rudeness. Amt this more
serious cause of complaint than baby car
riages? Crowds of people often stop on
the sidewalks or on the street crossings to
talk, compelling passers to get into the
muddy streets to avoid them. Amt this a
greater nuisance than baby carriages? There
are many worse things than baby carriages.
We were baby once ourself, and whether
we were trundled around in carriage or
not, we no doubt thought we had rights
which big folks were bound to respect-and
so we think of the little folks of the pres
ent day.
