A gentleman of Kichmond has for several month bee a conducting a correspondence with gentlemen in England on this subject, and there is reason to believe that there are ecreral portraits still extant which are aulbenti', and that n original of a "true copy" may be obtained for our gallery of historic Virginians. There is no doubt that a portrait was taken of Pocahontas w hen in England, and it is uutural to suppose that the original, or a copy thereof, may be in popcse'iou of tbe llelfe family, of which Pocahon tas' husband was a cadet The last advice from England is that there is still extant a portrait of tbe Princess and her son.

Often there is much said, and especially at this season of the year about covering strawberries; and many persons are injured by what they read to act so as to heartily re gret it when tbe spring comes round. We have koewn people to act on this suggestion, and cover tbeir strawberry-beds with manure, and find the wbole completely rotten in spring. Ana yet a nitie covering with tbe right kind of material is not a bad thing. If tbe plants are en tirely unprotected the leaves are browned ana olten aestroyeu; wmie it roust have been noted by every observant gardner that the best fruit comes from plants that have man aged to keep tbeir leaves bright ana green till tbeir 6pring flowers appear. And this is whv a covering of snow the whole winter is so cood for tbe strawberry crop. As we have re marked, when tbe leaves axe brows ed tbe croD is small; but when tbe snow covers lbe plants the whob winter long, they come out in the snrinir in the best possible state for SO a fruitful ness. But we cannot always depend on the boost. It does not always come, or continue in a reeular way. Sj if some light material can bo put over the plants, that will not smotber ana rot tbem, and yet will bo just enough to make a shade from tbe winter suo and a screen from frosty winds, it will be doing a good turn, to tbe strawberry plant Manure is bad, There U a salt in it, especially when freshj which u destruc ive to foliage; but cleap straw, or swamp or marsn bay that is free from mcli, answers tbe purpose very well. But it must not be put on very thick. The isle, is, just enough to mske a thin screen, and yet not enough to hold moisture Ion? Shade without damp is the idea, ioach light protection is good for the strawberry plant Afraid I Knr Alone. " The wicked practice of swearing, which is so common es to offend tbe ear in every nouei, almost in every street, it often mere bravado. Boys think it sounds manly to be profane, and men think it gives force and character to tbeir sayings. Un like most other vices, it is done Hn ly, and is intended by the swearer foe other people's ears. "I wlii give you ten dollars," sad a man to a.proo&a wearer, "If you will go into tbe village gvayeyard at twelve o'clock to night and swear the same catbs you have just uttered, when you are alone with God.H "Agreed," said tbe man, "an easy way to make ten dollars.

But tbe people were more intent on carnal comforts than spiritual health, so that in time her house became empty, much to her grief and alarm. After some time a Liu IT old sea captain knocked at the door, and tbe old lady answered the call. "Servant, ma'am. Can you give me board for two or three days ?

A Spizza correspondent London Standard writes ; of the Those of our readers who have traveled in Spain have certainly re marked the dirty 6tripes on the necks of the lovely senoras; no devout Spanish woman dares to bathe with out tbe permission of her coniessr. This aversion to cleanliness has come forward from the time of tbe anchorites Sabinus, Pachomins, Be sarion, and other saints of tbe desert, and indeed whole sects of that epoch condemned all ablutions as heathen ish, and were lauded because they wore their clothes so long that tbey rotted to pieces and fell off them, or because their skins became a3 "pum icestone" from tbe crust of dirt on it The superstition that cleansing the body soils the soul exists this day among the women of those Christian nations who have long carried on conflicts with tbe Mohamedans, on whom tbe Koran enjoins frequent ab lutions.

We have all heard of red republi cans, and it seems quite natural to associate revolutions with them ; but our Revolution a hundred years ago was connccled also, with a blue color, used by artists. In tbe painting or tbe coeuraica Raphael a beautiful biuo is used, which in bis time (be died in 1520) was sold in quill tabes for its weight in gold. It was made from a very rare rock, and from being brought from across the sea was called "ultra marine." During the American Itevolutiou, the principal source of 6oda and pot ash was cut off. for these articles were then produced chiefly Lv burn ing wood in our great forests. A Mr. Leblanc in France then invented a process of extracting soda from sea water. It was observed that in the' kilns in which this process was car ried on, some of the bricks began to look blue. On further examination, it was discovered that they were col ored with the blue called ultramarine. Before, it bad been brought from be yond the sea. .After tiii ,di!iC0Very it was extracted from tbe ca itself, and at comparatively so small ap expense that to-day it is used for painting carriages and coloring com mon writing-paper.

About eighteen miles from Tort Gibson and one mile from Brandy wine Springs, on the place of Mr. O'Quin, the existence of a reat num ber of blocks of cut stone Las been known fcr an indefinite time, and tie people in the neighborhood have used them for props for their bouses. Mr Jas. Gage, Jr., went out there a few days ago to explore and had a specimen stone bronght into town. It is about three feet long by about twenty inches square, resembling iu sbape a bar of soap. It is probably j a tative sandstone. Mr. Gage took this block himself from beneath tho roots of a large pine tree. It focmed a portion of a wall about twenty feet broad on tbe top, which Mr. Gage traced for a distance of 2G0 yards. The inference that one would natu rally draw from this superficial view is that this must have been a city wall, but dtep exploration might show it to be a portion of a fort, temple or other building. Anyway, its antiquitv is probably immense, antedating the history of the red men. Aa Insealaaa ConneI. A farmer attending a fair with a hundred pounds in his pocket took the precaution of depositing it in the hands of tbe landlord of the public bouse at which he stopped. Having occasion for it shortly afterwards, he resorted to miue host for payment But the landlord too deep for the countrymau, wondered what be meant," and was quite sure no such sum had ever been lodged in his bands by the astonished rustic. After ineffectual appeals to the re ccollection, and finally to the honor of the Bardolpb, the farmer applied to Curran for advice. "Have patience, my friend," said the counsel ; "speak to the landlord civillv tell bim you have left your money with some other person. Take a friend with you, ana loage uo him another hundred in the presence of vour friend, and come to me." He did so and returned to bis legal friend. "And now I can't see bow I am going to be the better off for this, if I get my second hundred back again, but how is that to bo done ?" ' Go and ask him for it when he is alone " said tbe counsel. "Aye, sir, asking won't do, l'am afraid, without my witness, at any rnto "Never mind, take my advice," bid vou said bis couusel ; "do as I and return to me."

"Well," she continued, "he was very likelv youug man. and he wan ted a careful wife, so he thought of a way he could find one. Oae morn ing he went to call upon the differ cut girls of bis acquaintance aod ai-ked tbem each for tbe Ecrapings of tneir breadbowl to feed his horse. Vou seo they all wanted bim so tbey got ail tbey could for bim. finally be came to a girl who hadn't any, so be asked her to be his wife, because he thought she must be economical Aow," said Aunt Bachel trium phantly, "suppose a young man bould ask vou for the scrapings of your breadbowl, what could you sav : ' "What could I say?" I repeated scornfully; "why I'd tell him if be couldn't afford to buy oats for his horses they might starve ; I wouldn't rob the pigs to feed them." 1 suppose Aunt Ilacbel thought tbe lesson was all lost on me ; but as true as you live I never knead tbe bread to this day without thinking of Lcr lesson in economy. Like a Woman The other day as a Doylestown mother was combing her boy's head with a fine comb, a female acquaint anee entered the house without form aliiie3. There was just one instant's time, and during that lustant the comb was concealed, hand raised to the boy's chin, and as the lady en tered the mother remarked: "Come, Henry If you don't hold up your chin I can't button your shirt collar!" The Cunning Cobbler. Ma any years ago, tbe husband of an old lady, living in Buckingham, died without making his will, fur the want of which necessary precaution bis estate would have passed away from bis widow, bad she not resorted to the following expedient to avert the Joss of her property ; She con cealed the death of ber husband, and prevailed on an old cobbler, her ueighbor, who was, in person, some what like the deceased, to go to bed at ber house, and personate him, in which character it was agreed that he should dictate a will, leaving the widow tbe estate in question. An attorney was sent for to draw up tbe writings. Tbe widow, wbo, on his arrival, appeared in great affliction st her good man's danger, began to ask questions of ber pretended hus band, calculated to elicit the answers she expected and desired. Tbe cob bler, groaniug aloud, and looking as much like a person going to give up the ghost as possible, leebly answer ed ; "I intend to leave you half of my estate, and I think tbe poor old shoemaker ;' who Jives opposite, is deserving of the other half, for he has always been a good neighbor." The widow was thunder struck at receiv ing a reply so different from that which she expected, but dared not negative tbe cobblers will, for fear of losing tbe whole of tbe property, while tbe old rogue in bed wbo was himself the poor old shoemak r living opposite laughed ia his sleeve, and dividded -vith her the fruits of a project which the widow bad intended for ber sole benefit.

There is an objection to the com n;oa cay of boiling eggs which peo ple do not understand, ft is tbis: Tbe white under three minutes' rapid cooking becomes tough and'jndiges tible while the yelk is yet soft When properly cooked eggs are done even ly through like any other food. Tbis result may be attained by putting the eggs into a dish with a coyer, as a tin pail, and then pour upon tbem boiling water, 2 quarts or more to a dogea ogB, snd cover and set tbem away from the stove for fifteen min utes. Tbe beat of the water cooks tbe eggs evenly and sufficiently and to Sf jplly liVe consisteney, leaving the centre of yelk harder tbua the white, and the egg tastes cs much bet- tpr and Jijeer as a fre'sh egg is nicer tban a stale egg. and no persop will want to eat them boiled after haying tried this -method once, r hvrl eit lurkcr.

Going up .Market Street the other diy, a man saw a boy about eleven years of age seated on the sidewalk, bare headed, in the full blaze of the ecorch iii;r snn. "Dub, you ought not to sit there!" suid the man. ."Why ?" "Because you'll wet all tanned up." "Makes no difference lo nie wheth er I sit iu the sun or in tbe shade,"; sadly answered the boy, "mother tans me up ttree or four times a daj any- how."
