THE VIRGINIAs.-This admirable min

is the editor, is out for January. 1t pub
fishes in advance of the official publication
the first COUNT by the census officers of
the population, of Virginia, for 1880. Be-
sides its usual important papers on the
mineral resources Of the two Vlrginias, it
has goodly number of interesting news
items. From it we learn that Hon. VIM.
Mines, of the Shenandoah Iron Works,
made last year 2,200 long tons of charcoal
pig iron, and 1 ,635 tons of charcoal blooms.
The works are now using coke from the
New River district which reaches them by
the c. & o. and Shenandoah Valley roads.
The Lcngdale Iron Company, in Allegha-
ny county, made in 1880, $3.50 tons of hot
blast. coke pig iron, all of which was mar

says that Prof. Fontaine. has adopted his
suggestion and will commence scientific
exploration, in April, at Waynesboro and
proceed thence along the line of the Shen-
andoah Valley r. R., to some point near
Balcony Falls. Mr.. Stuart says this ex-
ploration will be of great Importance to
the people of Augusta and Rockbridge,
and will probably lead to the Investment
of large amounts of foreign capital in iron
properties. a letter from Richmond to
Maj Hotchkiss shows that it is probable
that the class of geology and mineralogy

Does Love Payl

Does love pay? Yes-and again no.
1t all depends on the kind of love and
the mental strength of the lover. A
marriage which has in it every element
of misfortune, discomfort, of future dis
indignation, as the arguments against,
and only the personal passion of two
young people for each other as that for
it. is an investment which will scarcely
give very large dividends of happiness.
TO be sure there would be a stretch OF
barren years to be passed through-an
arid waste of signs and tears and blight
ed hopes and misery generallv-were
common sense to step in and forbid the
banns. But which is better-this pitt

Shadow, to come out into either the
living sunshine or the mild placidity of

which she could not make meet by clev-
err management, he still further drew
apart by waste. She was light and
pleasure loving, he was serious, home
staying, too grave for her frothy youth,
too blase for her keen enjoyment. One
or the other must give way; which will
it be? To either the sacrifice will be
great, and one which time will only
render more intolerable. To her soci-

difficulties and advances in bis chosen
career. To force her to share the soli-
tude of his life is to cage skylark and
chain squirrel; to make him give up
all his studies, his precious time, his
grand aims and high endeavors is to de-
grade the highest qualities of the human
mind and to be faithless to the noblest
trust that can be given unto man. All
this cool on-lookers could forsee, but
the man and woman themselves-her
eyes and winsome WAYS fascinated him;
his repute, his gentleness, his hand

fascinated her. And they married,

Devices for Stealing Ore.

When we had emerged into open air
the manager took me to the Office and
gave me some very rich specimens of ore,
some containing native silver, and these
with others obtained later made a most
excellent series for cabinet and labora-
tory use. Most of them were obtained
from the men as they came out of the
mine. Each gang works twelve hours,
and the work goes on night and day
without cessation the month through.
As the men come out of the mine and
pass through the gate they are searched
three times in all-for silver ore. Yet
they often manage to carry away a
great deal in the course of month,
which they dispose of to the small
haciendas in town which ''beneficiate !"
on their own account. Their methods
OF concealment are various and artful.
One was to hollow the handles of their
hammers, which they were permitted
to carry out of the mines with them,
and fill them full of ore; another to
pulverize the ore and roll it up in
cigarette papers; another to have it in
little bags. so arranged with strings
that they could move it from side to
side. under their loose shirts. or serapes.
when the keeper was passing his hand
over them, they would conceal it be-
tween their toes. in their ears and in
the last places one would think of /;
their scanty clothing offers no aid to
hiding. In the Rosario there is an old
shaft 400 feet in length. leading from
the top of the hill into the mine it was
long since abandoned, and is now used
as q chimney for one of the engines in
the mine. For . long time great guam
titles of ore were missing. The paid
agents of the company reported that
stealing was going on, but could not
tell how. AZ last it was discovered
that an adit had been driven into the
hill to the old shaft, and up to this dan
gerocs place they had climbed at night,
dragging the bags of ore after them.
An exploring party was sent in and
found dead man and some provisions,
the man suffocated probably by the
smoke.-Pachuca (Merico) Letter.

Stable Management.

The sins committed in the general
management of the occupants of the
stable are generally not those of igno-
rance. Every farmer is aware that his
horses should be housed in well proper
toned, commodious, well-ventilated
properly-lighted and efficiently drained
stables; he is also alive to the fact that
good quality and proper quantity of
food, medium temperature, scrupulous
cleanliness and general attention to the
animals comforts, are essential to his
well being; the difficulty is that he does
not realize the amount of injury result
ing from neglect of these conditions;
he knows that the opposite system is
injurious, but he has hardly an idea of
the extent to which the mischief reach
es. 1t does not occur to him probably
that. if he persists in keeping his horses
from their youth in cold, badly-con-
structed stable, compensation in the
shape of a thick, rough coat will be a
necessary result; that accumulation of
dirt and moisture about the leg will lead
to hardness of integument and disturb
ance in the circulation and secretive
functions, predisposing TO cracked heels
and grease. He is probably unmindful
of the fact that the want of good groom
ing leaves the skin with its numerous
pores INSTRUCTED by the accumulation of
dirt, and disposes to mango and surfeit;
that irritating vapors from stagnant ma
nure disturb the eyes and nostrils; that
inferior food deranges the digestion,
and that disproportionate work wears
out the animal mechanism with waste
full rapidity. Monstrous as it may
sound. we have heard it seriously
stated that it. answers better CONNER
cially to work the horses ''out' than to
take any extra trouble for their preser-
walton. The exact meaning to be at
tached to the expression working
OUT involves serious reflection ON hui
mainly; the practice, we happen to
know, is by no means uncommon. al.
though happily among agriculturalists
the spirit of competition snd specula-
ton has not reached so far or descended
so low. We have to complain of want
of consideration very frequently, but
