This instrument which gives forth such sweet music, should be "placed in the window of every man's house. Its"mutterings" will do more to harmonize the soul than any other thing that can be de vised. The seolian harp consists of a long, narrow box of very thin deal, about five or six inches deep, with a circle in the middle of the upper side of one and a half inches in diameter, in which is to be drilled small holes. On this side seven, ten, or more strings of very fine j;ut are stretched over' bridges at each end, like the bridge of a'fiddle, and .erewed up or relaxed ; with sere w-p iiis."-Th e strings must all be tuned to one and thesame note, and the instrument placed in some current of air where tje wind can pass over itsstrings with freedom. For instance, a window of which the width is exactly equal to the length of the harp.' with the sash just raised to give the air admission, is a proper sit uation ; when the air blows upon these strings with different degrees of force, it will excite different tones of sound.

A deputy United States marshal on Friday last arrpted Judge J. D. Coles, of the county "court of Pittsylvama county, Va. Judge Coles is one of the five judges recently indicted in the United States district court for failure to place colored men on juries.

The marshal then said he would not imprison the judge, but would hold him as his prisoner, al lowing him the freedom of the coun ty. The judge immediately signed an application, which had been already prepared, to Chief Jiistic Waite, of the United States Supreme Court, for a writ of habeas corpus, and forward ed it to Attorney General Fields, at Richmond.

This movement would ex cite ouly derision and digust, were it not fort he foolish ambition of weak, fathers and mothers, who suppose they must ape the rich, or j their daughters must lose their standing among 'society people.'

Speedily comes financial , pressure then compromise with creditors or ntter.bank ruptcy. tVIiut the more injurious effects of this extravagance . of 'society people are on young jneu. Naturally ambitious to be among the ton in society, they must main tain their position at every cost. The pressure of the times compels them to work for salaries varying from five to fifteen: dollars . per week. In the 'season' they must atteud the 'society club,' the 'German, the, party, the ball, tho opera, the theatre. If the-yenng. man expects to continue iu good standing among 'society people,' he must escort a young lady. providing a hack at five dollars,! out of his little salary of ten dollars, to haul her and her immense bale of millinery to and from her place, and another dollar to provide a ticket of admission, if it bo to concert, opera or theatre. This, with the cost of white kids and extras to adorn lu person for tho occasion, absorbs tlie re. mainder of his little salary, and leaves hislaudlady and washer-woman unpaid.

Jas. F.Johustou of this city, aud the two have set about to make arrangements for constructing the machines. Several manufacturers of ma chinery have visited the city for the pur pose of seeing it in operatiou, and all pronounce it a decided success, its chief merit being its cheapness because of the wonderful power of which a small En gine is capable. Several weeks ago Mr. Luldell started North to exhibit the En gine to the larger Iron works in that locality with a view to propositions for manufacturing it. Letters fromhim to his partner, Capt. Johnston, in this city show that at every place he visited liber al offers were made him. lie has succeeded in making a satisfactory arrangement with Mr. N. B. Cashiug, in Jersey City, who is the sole proprietor of a mammoth machine establishment. The arrangement with this gentleman is that he shall have exclusive sale of their Engines all North of the Virginia line and from the Atlan tic to the Pacific Ocean, also in Europe South America, and Mexico, and they (Lid dell & Johnston) have reserved for them selves tlie Southern States. Their head quarters will be in Charlotte, N. C, where they will have a full supply of all sizes of Engines, &c, in a short time. Mr. Liddell was the founder, and for many, years the owjier of the Erie City Iron orks. He has bad tlie widest ex perience in his business, and if as success ful as his friends anticipate he will he will contribute largely to the material prosperity of the country. Char. Ob. Pea Vises as a Fertilizer. rOur great reliance for restoring and increasing the fer tility of the soil must be in the growing 6f renovating crops, with special reference tp hat object. For this purpose the com mon cow-pea is most convenient and best adapted to the purpose. Several corres pondents testify to the most satisfactory re sults from turning under luxuriant crops of pea-vines. Qf the speckled pea and ether early varieties, two crops maj be grown in one season. It is claimed by high authori ty that it is not necessary to torn under the vines, but after the crop of-riie peas is gathered, the vines may be allowed, to die and decay on the surface, with equal ad vantage as if plowed under; thus avoiding the injury to the soil which results from ex- J-posing it by plowing, to the heat of sum mer.
