ELEcTRIClTY.-Last evening Mrs Dr.
French spoke at Allen Mission upon Electric
ity as a Curative Agent" The chanel was
filled with an audience which evidently was
interested in the lecture, as they gave the best
of attention. Mrs. French is very able
speaker and sticks close to her subject She
says that electricity will cure every disease
which is durable. No chance was missed to
give the medical profession sharp rap for not
being acquainted with electricity, and for not
using it in their practice The whole lecture
was plea for the science which she practices
and an abuse of every other.
At the close of the lecture large number
expressed desire that she would lecture this
evening-as per advertisement-and large
number of tickets were taken on the spot. We
have no doubt there will be large attendance
this evening.

Hogarth in HeIiotype.

We have received from Messrs. j. r. Osgood
& Co., the first eight numbers of new and
very desirable edition Of the works of Hogarth.
The original engravings are practically out of
the reach of purchasers AS it happens, the ad-
mirable process known as the heliotype enables
the publishers of this edition to furnish per-
feet fac SMILES of the originals, and they have
awaited themselves Of the opportunity. The
heliotype possesses this advantage over all en-
cravings that are but copies, that it re-produces
with minuteness ard striking fidelity the char
acteristic features and the most delicate shad-
ings of the originals, unmarried by the faults
and unaltered by the idiosyncrasies of copy
list. The process is of peculiar value as ap-
piled to Hogarth's works, for their chief at
fractions are in the wonderful facial expression,
the perfection of the caricature portraits and
above all the intense thought and study which
are crowded into every picture Engraved
copies of Hogarth are always unsatisfactory.
Every artist has his peculiar ideas, which he of
necessity must introduce into his picture, orig
inal or selected, and he must as we'll fail to
convey the original power and marvellous touch
of the masterpieces. Hogarth's peculiar gift
was the power of giving each of his subjects
thinking face, and thus strongly individualiz-
ing them. In an engraved copy this is lost, and
the picture made common. The heliotype does
away with this fault.
At this day analysis or praise of Hogarth's
works is needless As Charles Lamb has ex-
pressively said. "Other pictures we look at;
his prints we read" His satire is stern and
IMPLYING. His pictures deal with vices and
follies that are not pleasant TO contemplate,
but as one of his admirers has expressed it,
SIN his least attractive scene the power of his
invention and the quantity of thought he
crowds into it atnuulgarize the subject" The
Messrs. Osgood have done good thing by the
the art-lcving public In bringing out this edi-
ton, an edition which must commend itself to
every Judge as the best yet issued from the
press. In makeup it is admirable. The he'll
iotypes are marves of fidelity, and the de.
scriptive letter-press is instructive and enter
comprised in the edition, add much to its value.
The eight numbers now issued give US the
marriage la Mode" Industry and Idle
ness" and many of the portraits and lesser
caricatures.
These numbers may now be seen at the book
store of Dresser & Mcclellan on Exchange
street, or by addressing the agent in their care.
There are two sizes to the work, one for sale at
seventy-fve cents and one at two dollars a
number The work will be completed in thirty
parts. Those WHO wish to see the capabilities
of the heliotype process will do well to exam

DESTRUCTIVE FREE FREDERIcxsBUIG,
VA.-On Friday night last Tackett's S
wooleu mills, at fredericksburg, Va,
caught fire while the machinery was in
operation, and were entirely consumed
SO rapid was the progress of the flames
that many of the operatives who were
at work barely escaped with their lives,
and one OF them. youth named Alex
ander Smelling, aged thirteen years, less
fortunate than the rest, became blinded
by the smoke and perished in the flames.
BY the destruction Of the factory eighty
five operatives are thrown out OF EN-
ployment, upon whose labors at least
two hundred and fifty persons, includ-
ing many helpless children, are entirely
dependent. The building cost s2O.O09,
and the machinery 10000; insured for
24,5Oo, principally in Virginia and
Southern companies. Levi ). White,

WAR VESSELS oS THE NoRrH ATLay-
TIC SrATIoS.-Some forty United States
war vessels of all classes are now at va
rious ports on the North Atlantic sta
tior, and the circumstance gives rise TO
the cften suggested rumors of some for
midable emergency in connection with
. Cuba. This so-caIled concentration of
war vessels includes two wooden ships
out of commission, all of the iron-clads
which are always on the station, eight
vessels in the docks fitting for sea, two
or more receiving ships, and all of the
smaller class, such as the Dispatch and
Tallapoosa. A special dispatch to the
New York Herald credits "prominent
officers" at Washington with the belief
that IAN important movement in Cuban
affairs will take place at an early day
after the assembling of Congress.

very fact that the University aspires

death on account O. the helpless condi-
ton in which he would leave bis family,
He died pending the arrangement Of a
compromise with Lands, by which he
was to receive S12,5Jo on condition
that he would leave the State. His
death may now subject Landis to both

FuNERAL OF TIE LATE GEN. PICKETT.
-RIcuMoND, Va, October 24.-The
funeral obsequies of Gen. Geo. E. Pick
ett took place this afternoon, and the
demonstration was indeed worthy of
the gallant soldier. The entire popula.
ton of Richmond, together with thous-
ands of visitors from other points, were
out ell masse. The streets along which
tho procession moved were in many ca
ses so crowded with spectators that the
movement OF the line were greatly i'm
peded. Many private houses were
tastefully draped in mourning, and flags
at different points half-masted. The
procession was composed Of the first
Virginia regiment as escort, the corps
of cadets from the Virginia Military In
stitute, Monticello Guard from Char
lottesville, Attuck's Guard, (colored, }
Virginia Grays, (colored,) Old First
Virginia Regiment Association Vete-
rams of the Army of Northern Virginia,
Richmond and Petersburg Commando
ries Knights Templar, State and city
executive officers, relatives and friends
Of the deceased, and many prominent
virginians in carriages, together with a
large cortege of vehicles with private
citizens, the entire line being nearly a
mile AMI half in length. The remains
were conveyed to Hollywood Cemete-
ry, where they were inferred with ap-
propriate ceremonies. 1t is estimated
that not less than forty thousand peo-
pie witnessed the procession, and that
there were about five thousand in the
line. '

We referred last summer to the
price in human life that the govern.
ment pays for retaining a naval estab-
lish ment at the Pensacola navy.yard.
This year we have another of the an
nual illustrations Of that destructive
policy. Slxty.fve cases of yellow
fever and seven deaths are announced
at the B&rrancas barracks, near Penss-
cola. 1t is now about fifty.five years
since Florida, one of the most valuable
OF the Spanish provinces, was ceded
TO the United States. 1t would be in.
teresting to have from official records
an account of the 10 CT valuablcliv vts
in Florida among officers and mtn
which has been suffered by the Uni
ted States in that time. We believe,
from the best authority, that from the
beginning to this time the yellow fe, er
at Pensacola has been the general rule,
and immunity from it the exception
Commodore Cooper, of that station,
has recommended that the Pensacola
navy.yary be closed and placed In
charge of acciimated employees, and
The Secretary of the Navy has author
ized such action 10 be taken. 1t is
high time that the annual loss otlife
in the naval service at Pensacola, for
no useful purpose whatever, should be
ended. If political purposes In Florida
require the navy.yard in Pensacola
to be kent up, it would be well to sly
so atonce, and letsit be decided wbether
such object is worth the sa' ridco
Of so many valuable lives.-Baltmore

New Jersey is the State for low taxes.
Her whole Indebtedness outside of her
war debt is only $500. geo. and her remAin-
cess of receipts over expenditures last

xette well says, tine Taxpayers OF our
State looking abroad at the wastefnl, ex-
travagant or dishonest use of public mo-
ney, too common around US. mhy derive
from the facts and figures here presented
the comfortable reflection that In New
Jersey at least the public funds are not
lavished in useless. display, nor. wasted
by dishonest or i.judicious. legislation.
but are wisely devoted to those objects
which will prove the sure foundation OF
