A STATE GOVERNED BY WOMEN.

Among the colonial possessions, or more
correctly, dependencies of Holland, there is
a remarkable little State which, in it's con-
stitution and the original customs of it's in
habitants surpasses the boldest dreams of
the advocates of women's rights. In the
Island of Java, between the cities of Bata-
via and Samarang, is the kingdom of Ban
tam, which although tributary to Holland,
is an Independent State, politically without
importance, yet happy, rich, and, since
time immemorial, governed and defended
by women. The sovereign is indeed a
man, but all the rest of the government be-
long to the fair sex. The king is entirely
dependent upon his State council, composed
of three women. The highest authorities,
all State officers, court functionaries, mill
tary commanders, and soldiers are, without
exception, of the female sex. The men are
agriculturists and merchants. The body
guard of the king is formed of the elite.
These amazons ride in masculine style,
wearing sharp steel points instead of spurs.
They carry pointed lance, which they
swing very gracefully, and also musket,
which is discharged at full gallop. The
throne is Unbeatable by the eldest son, and
in case the king dies without issue a hun
dred amazons assemble, in order to choose
a successor from among their sons. The
chosen one is then proclaimed lawful king.
Tho capital city of this little State lies in
one of the most picturesque parts of the
Island, in fruitful plain, and is defended
by two we'll kept fortresses.

Alfred Stone, of Poplar, England, has
surpassed many rivals in brutality. Return
ing to his home from work recently upon a
Saturday evening, in bad temper, he
opened the door of parrots cage and at
tempted to take the bird out. The bird re-
ssting, he pulled it violently out of the
cage, put the poor creature beneath one OF
his feet and said to his wife: "Jane, III
kill it; it is the last thing you have got be-
longing to your father He then took the
bird from the floor and twisted its neck,
but failing to kill it threw it struggling into
the fire. There the bird died. He then
left the house, but returned about O'Clock
Sunday morning and struck his wife. She
ran from the house pursued by the brute,
who after a short chase caught up with her
and knocked her down. He then tried to
lift her above his head but failed, and drop
ping her suddenly she received a severe cut
on the back of her ad. The police there
upon arrested Stone and he has since been
sentenced to six months hard labor in prison
for the assault upon his wife, and two
months additional hard labor for tn cruelty
to the parrot.

Governor Newell is entitled to the vote of
every sailor in New Jersey. 1t was he who
conceived the plan of erecting the life-saying
stations along our coast, and to whom,
more than any other one man is entitled to
the credit of perfecting system which has
saved thousands of lives and millions of
property along the Atlantic coast since the
government put it into operation. The
Governor is equally entitled to the support
of the workingmen. He conducts a farm
while practicing his profession, never hesi-
tates to obey call where. his skill can be
employed to mitigate suffering, and among
his friends and neighbors is known and es-
teemed for his large-hearted benevolence.
There is everything to commend him to the
support of the working classes with whom
his opponent holds no interest in common.

ANCIENT INKs.-The ink used by ancient
writer's was formed of lamp black, or the
black taken from burnt ivory, and SCOT
from furnaces and baths. Some have sup
posed that the black liquor which the cutie
fish yields was frequently employed. One
thing is certain, that whatever were the
component ingredients, from the blackness
and solidity in the most ancient manuscripts,
from an inkstand found at Herculaneum, in
which the ink appears as thick oil, and
from chemical analysis. the ink of antiquity
was much more opaque, as we'll as encaus-
tic, than that which is used in modern
times. Inks of different colors were much
in vogue; red, purple, blue, and gold and
silver inks, were the principal varieties.
The red was made from vermilion, cinna-
bar, and carmine, the purple from the
murex; one kind of which, called the pur-
pie encaustic, was appropriated to the ex-
elusive use of the emperors. Golden ink
was much more popular among the Greeks
than amongthe Romans. During the mid
die of dark ages, the manufacture both of
it and of silver ink was an extensive branch
of trade, and the Illuminated manuscripts
which remain are striking proof of the
high degree of perfection to which the art
was carried. The making ofthe inks them
selves was distinct business; another con-
nected with it, and to which it owned its
origin, was thst of inscribing, the titles,
capitals, as well as emphatic words, in col.
ored and gold and silver inks.

TAcT.-People cannot help having been
born without tact, any more than they can
help having no ear for music; but there are
occasions when it is impossible to be quite
charitable to tactless person. Yet people
who have no tact deserve pity. They are
almost always doing OR saying something to
get themselves into disgrace, or which does
them an injury. They make enemies where
they desire friends, and get a reputation for
ill-nature which they do not deserve. They
are also continually doing other people
harm, treading on metaphorieal corns,
opening the cupboards where family skele-
tons are kept, angering people, shaming
people, saying and doing the most awkward
things, and apologizing for them with a
still more terrible bluntness. If there is
one social boon more to be desired than an
other it is tact; for, without tact, the career
of the richest and most beautiful is often
utterly marred. afr

glove factory IN the State of Virginia is
in the town of Woodstock. 1t was
established in 1779 and has been TO this
time in the same family for three
generations, father, son and grandson.
AS an evidence of the character of the
work made, it is only necessary to say
that Mr.. OFT has had for years de-
mand for all the gloves which he can
make. Hereceives large number of
orders every year which it is impossi-
BILE for HIM to fill. His orders are at all
times in excess Of the supply. He does
not solicit trade from the fact that he
does not need customers. Notwith-
standing he, with number of hands,
have been constantly employed, in
filing orders, more of his gloves have
been counterfelted than he has sold
With increased facilities, this trade
might be made the most important in
the Valley.

LAND ADVERTISEMENTS. large
number of farms have been advertised
aud many ofthem sold in this county
during the last two months. Wherever
land has been sold, it has been pur-
chased at a low price and upon very
easy terms. Land is now very low and
money invested in real estate, will
yield fine profit after while. When
land falls it remains down long time,
but it will certainly appreciate in value
and investments made now will bring
good returns. In many sections land
no better than that sold in the Valley
from twenty to forty dollars per acre,
commands from one hundred to one
hundred and fifty dollars per acre.
Good investments can now be made.
