Postal STATISTICS as Party Factor.

Postal Statistics as q Party Factor
The Inter Ocean tries to make point
for the Republican partysby showing thai
the Democratic portion of the union pays
less postage than. does the Republican
portion. In support of this the Int,
Ocean quotes from the. POSTMASTER gem
erals reports as follows:
Statistics in the Postohice Department
make asuggestive showing of the relative
value of the Republican and Democratic par
ties to the Nation. Counting California for
Hancock, the Union was equally divided
on the election, nineteen States going for
Garfield and the other nineteen for Han
cock. The records show that for every
dollar expended for mails the Garfield
States return $I,08: for every dollar ex-
pended for the same purpose in the States
giving their electoral vote for Hancock
only 90 cents are returned, the first class
returning profit of 8 per cent and the
second class creating a deficit of 80 per
cent"

Valuable Mineral Land in Market.

The attention of persons desiring to invest
I'M valuable mineral properties in Virginia is
call, d to the advertisements which appear
elsewhe re In this issue of the VIRGiNIAN.
Three of tb ese are especially valuable and can
be purchased It the most reasonable prices.
list. The Smsthe,~s Gaatly Tract of coal lands,
1856 acres situated on the north side of the
Great Kanawha River, in FsVette county West
Virginia. This property is undertake with the
finest quality of camel coal. ne 1acihiies iof
mining and transportation are veT SUPERIOR
and every advantage is here offered for the
procurement ola splendid quality of coal 10
inexhaustible quantities. On their western
excursion the members of the Institute will
pass near this property, and its examination
will prove interesting. 1t can be bought at
figures far below its real value.
I'd. The old Kennedy furnace tract, contain
ing 400 acres, advertised by Messrs. Ellis
and Yost. This property is near the Shenan-
doah Valley road, south of Waynesboro. The
ore upon it is of fine quality, and can be readi-
ly mined in large quantities. The estate is
well located for the manufacture of iron, and
its development would prove profitable in
vestment. The price asked for it is extremely
reasonable.
8. The old F5rrer's Iron Works property sit
uated in the lower edge Of Augusta county,
containing 807 acres. No better location
could be found for iron works. An abu ndance
of the best red hemitite ore underlies the
greater part of the tract. This ore is of supe-
rior quality, and from it has been made excel
lent iron. In other days the products of the
furnace on this estate ranked high in the mar
ket, and always commanded the top price A
part of the property offered comprises portions
of the North River anthracite coal regions,
which the building of the narrow gauge rail
road, now under construction, will bring i'm
mediately in contact with the iron ore. Here
then are combined all of the conditions for the
cheap manufacture of iron-ore, coal and flux,
with splendid agricultural acreage for rails
ing supplies.
Parties desiring to purchase Virginia lands,
are especially invited to read the advertise
ments, and make examinations of the proper
ties.

CUT WoRM-This destructive wretch is
said to be unusually prevalent this year. In
some sections of the country it has made such
ravages upon the corn that many of the farm
ers will be compelled to refurrow and replant
their crops entire. This together with the
continued drought will make the corn late, if
it does not materially injure it.
