LABOR TROUBLES AT MIDDLETOWN.

:, The excitement amony the white laborers of the
proposed action of the contractors to substitute
col0red men 81 81 % a day in the places Of the
lrshrnen and Italians now employed at 81 90 day,
continues, and the feeling Of the men has become
intense. The negroes who it is said, are
on their way from the South to be put to work on
section No. l, have not yet arrived, and
the aborers that part of the road expect that at
the meeting to-day in biiddletown the action of the
white men win be decided upon. The 300 negroes
now employed on the MiddletOwn branch do not in
tend TO be frightened by the threats of the white
men, for they claim that they have rights which
they will contend for in any emergency that may
occur.
IL is expected that the action taken at the meeting
ut Mddletown to-day will determine the course OF
tie men In the threatened invasion of negroes
takes place.
In conversation with TRIBUNE reporter, one of
the laborers section No. said that the men pro-
posed TO wait patiently until the meeting at Mid
dletOwn to-day was held, unless the cOlored men
should arrive in the meantime. What action Will
be taken is not now definitely known; much de-
ponds upon circumstances. Many of the men are in
favor OF sending petition 10 Mr. Tilden who is a
large stakeholder iii the road asking him TO interest
hluasef IN their cause There is thing certain
tie men say and that is that they will not remain
at work as the MiddletOwn men have done, if the
negroes are brought there; the whole matter is a
scheme to reduce their wages to III 70 day.

ness. MIR. Davis CIV. Va.) took the floor
with Il suerch on the debt question be-
twee the Virpinias. Hc regretted being
compelled to discuss in the Senate what
he considered n purely local matter.
He adverted to the funding bill passed
by Virginia in 1871, which arbitrarily
set aside two-thir,ls of the debt to the
old State and One-third to the new State.
In the course of his remarks he said;
"The commissioners appointed by the
State of West Virginia had reported the
following facts: That nine-tenths 0i
the improvements for which the debt
had been created had been located with
in the State of Virginia; that Virginia
contained 4l,OOO square miles, West
Virginia only 20, 900; that at the time OF
the separation the counties now EN-
braced in the State of Virginia con
tanned population Of /, ,l22 900, and tn,
counties now embraced in the State OF
West Virginia $4,000: that the tax
able property in Virginia has amounted
TO Sj,90O, 900; in West Virginia to bn'
SG47 ,OO0- less than one-sixth. In view
of those facts, could it be contended
that West Virginia was responsible for
one-third of the debt?' He maintained
that with her present prosperity Nir
ginia could and would pay her debt in
future. At the conclusion OF his speech

THE PoMPADOUR.-When we cast back our glance up the vista of time, and fix our gaze on the picture of this great woman, and mark the one black shadow which rests upon it, we must not judge her by the light of our own day. We must look at her impartlally among the social circdmstances which, In the France of that age, surrounded her. Coniugal fidel. ity was thing utterly unknown in the land and among the higher classes The lover, ''rami intime" as he was called in polite French parlance, was an indispensable part of every fine lady's household. It is true that both the fair danes and their cavaliers were frequently seen at mass and at all sorts of re- ligions ceremonies, but they went back again to the salon to firt and make love quite as briskly as ever. The Kings "Maitresse en titre" was paid full as much respect by every one about the Court as was the Queen, and the Queen never dreamed of persuming to dispute her rivals rights; the whole public opinion in grand circles would have been against her If she had. We must recollect all this when we think of Mme. de Pompadour. and be thankful that we have fallen on times when purer manners reign, at least in out ward things. We must admire the real no. biiity of the woman's nature, which could not Tail to shine out even in her eQuivocal posi- tion, and strive in our generation to do as much for our country and our fellow men as she did for hers. Louis XIV, according to the fashion of soveregns of the day, made short work in the appropriation and exalta- tation of his favorite. NJ.

THE ORIGINAL OF ''MR. VENUS While drawing the illustrations for "Our Mutual Friend" it happened that Marcus Stone had the privilege of suggesting character to Dickens perhaps it would be more accu- rate to say, investigating character with strange external attributes. Dickens required MT. Venus for his story, but was in doubt what occupation to give him. It must be something strange, weird, or grotesque-a an uncommon calling; if ghastly, so much the better. It was required 10 ''dress" Mr. Vc. nus, so to speak. The question was put over Dickens's dinner table, and his young friend at once suggested man who prepared skele. tons and ''wired up' dead animals for artist. Dickens jump at the idea at once, and the preparer of skeletons could not think who the quiet gentleman was who came in with his customer, and waited SO long while his friend showed himself very difficult to please. Only the other day NIT: Stone paid a visit to the prototype of MT. Venus to get some doves wired up" to paint from hls picture Married for Love-" but found that Mir Ve- nus's own skeleton had been underground for some time the clever naturalist" was dead. His name was Willis, and he lived in Seven Dials.
 The latter part of this little story will tell how very earnestly MT. Stone goes about his wark His doves must be killed. and wired up." while vel warm, into tlie natural atti. tudes which dead or cold bird or heast can only very rarely he made to assume. This habit of taking pains is an old one with Mir. Stone and is perhaps one of the secrets of his early success in oil painting He was only twenty-three when he made decided hit with ''Fr0m Waterloo to Paris,"-a picture sug. gested by Beranger's Souvenir du Peu. pie"
