the Union at the present moment is calcula-
ted to inspire caution in regard to the ad-
mission of new States. Eleven of the old
States have been for some time unrepresent-
ed in Congress.
1t is common interest of all the States,
as well those represented as those unrepre-
sented, that the integrity and harmony of
the United States should be restored as com
pletely as possible, so that those who are ex-
pected to bear the burdens of the Federal
government, shall bc consulted concerning
the admission of new States; that in the
meantime no State shall be prematurely and
unnecessarily admitted to participation in
the political power which the Federal gov
ernm, mt wields, not for the benefit of any
individual State or section, but for the com
mon safety, welfare ard happiness of the

Our American Girls.

They are girls from the very frst--ncvel
children. They have their little "beaux" al
seven years old, and carry on miniature
f1irtations before they get into Algebra
and long dresses. Pretty, but pale fair and
I fragile, they are just what you would ina
Gine might be fashioned out of diet OF
late houis, ice cream, polkas, and poisonous
confections. And then, Just when they
should be in the perfect peerless bloom of
maidenhood, fresher than roses, there is a
breakdown of health, and life, and spirits.
The family physician is consulted, gymnasi-
ums, riding schools, Saratoga, sulphur
springs are recommended. AS if all the
medicines in creation should build up health
on foundation of nothing at all
Now this is all wrong radically and in
trinsically wrong. In this lovely climate of
ours, with 5racing air, clear sky, and health
inspiring breezes, there is no earthly reason
why our girls should not be models of
strength and health to the whole world
The only thing is to avoid that false start in
life that is given by weak minded mothers
and fashionable friends. Never mind their
compilations" Send them out to play in
the sunshine and wind, with dresses cut so
short they can draw long breath once in
a while, and shoes that are dew proof and
water proof. Never reproach them for too
much life and mirthfulness let them romp
to their hearts content. Blessed be the
modern style of open air exercise tor our
young ladies. 1t is fashionable to ride on
horseback now. Long walks in thick calf
skin shoes are "thc Style" Nor is it con-
sidered at all derogatory to row a pair of
oars or manage revolver. ..
This is just as it should be. There is
nothing like heavens sunshine and heavens
free winds for bringing back the lost roses
to girls cheek. The fashionable game of
croquet, now being inaugurated on every
lawn where there is room to plant the
'arches,n will be dangerous thing for the
doctors. 1t has been a popular amusement
in England for some time, and we are glad
to see it obtaining ground among the pale
checked bellies of New York and Philadel-
phia. An hour or two in the open air every
afternoon will go far toward neutrahzing
midnight soirees, endless piano practicings,
and intolorable tight lacing.

About Whitewashing.

The time for cleaning and fixing up has
come, and one of the most important items
is whitewashing. We often wonder that
people do not do more at this. How much
neater and more cheerful a whole place
looks, if Il few hours are spent in whitening
the fences, outhouses, etc. 1t changes the
whole appearance of the homestead One
days work thus expended will often make
aplace twice as attractive and add hundreds
OF dollars to its saleable valuation, while
washing cellar with lime not only makes
1t lighter and neater, but more healthful
also. For cellars simple mixture of fresh
Stacked lime is best. For house rooms, the
common paris White to be bought cheap
ly, is very good We take for each lbs. of
whiting, an ounce of the best white or trans
parent glue, cover it with cold water over
night and in the morning simmer it care
fully without scorching, until dissolved.
The Paris white is then put into. hot wa
ter, and the dissolved glue stirred in, with
hot water enough to III it for applying to
the walls and ceilings. This makes very
fine white, so firm that it will not ru b off at
all. Where common fresh Stacked lime is
used, some recommend adding to each pail
fu two table spoonfulls of salt and half
pint of boiled linseed oil, stirred in we'll
while the mixture is hot. This is recon-
mended for an outdoor and indoor wash
For an out door whitewash, We have used
the following with much satisfaction Take
IA tub, put in peck of lime and plenty of
water to slack it. When hot with Stacking,
stir in thoroughly about half pound ot tai
low or other grease, and mix it in we'll
Then add hot water enough FOR use. The
will withstand rain for years.

A FEW HINTS.

Tomatoes, unless already done, can now
he set out with tolerable safety. Should
cool nights, likely to bring frost, come, the
plants should be covered with old paper,
boxes or fowerpots. Little is gained by
early transpanting. A single night NAV re-
tard the growth for two weeks, and put
them behind those set out a week or ten
days later. 500. .t .sn
Egg plants do generally better by not be-
ing set out before the first of June. IF the
season is very favorable the last week in
May can be ventured on. There is no plant
SO sensitive of cool nights as this. As soon
as the weather becomes hot, both the Egg
and the Tomato plants should be muched.
The Yellow Radish for summer use can
now De planted. This variety seems to do
better than any other for the very warm
weather. .... -...
Now is the time to destroy the stee-color-
ed bug on the young grape buds. The surest
way is to go over the vines every morning
for week or ten days and pinch them to
death. They can now easily be seen. One
must be expert in catching them, as some
times they fly, but generally leap away if
the branch is shaken. They eat in their
present form, the fruit buds, destroying
them sometimes entirely while their pro-
geny, in the shape of a small dark worm,
feed upon the leaves, and if let alone will in
some seasons seriously damage the crop
They select the older vines. We have never
seen any upon vines under five years old.
Radishes sown around canteloupe hills
will protect the young plant from the de-
predations of the striped bug. The insect
prefers the radsh leaf to the canteloupe
A good dose of salt helps the product of
the Asparagus bed, and at the same time
destroys all grass and weeds, otherwise SO
very troublesome.
Violets should be transplanted in shady
places as soon as summer weather sets in.
Curled Lettuce heads and stands summer
weather much better than the Cabbage Let
tuce, which is the best for hotbeds and early
out door planting Germantown TeLegrapH.

The rationale of the difference between
Prussia and Austria may be stated very
briefly. One country is Protestant, the
other is Catholic. Prussia, as kingdom,
is not much older than a century and half,
Austria claims to have been q monarchy for
ages. Protestant Prussia desires to be
greater, grander and more powerful than
Austria in short, to be the ruling influence
in Germany--itD is strife between North
and South. Prussian policy would turn
Germany into Prussia while Austria would
prevent this, and make herself the FREEDOM
inant power. Prussia, which is badly off
for seaports, wishes to annex the Danish
Duchies of Hoistein and Schleswig but
Austria, which occupies the former, will
not consent 10 be turned out by Prussia
The aim of the House of Brandenburg is to
obtain not only the Danish Duchies, but
also the Kingdoms of Saxony aud Hanover,
and the Duchy of Brunswick, all three ad-
joining Prussia and beng Protestant, as
she is. There are few other Duchies, also
Protestant, upon which Prussia has seast
desiring eye The GOODNESS between Prussia
and Austria simply arises, therefore, out of
a struggle for power, and, sooner or later,
the smaller German principalities will be
absorbed, as they are Catholic OF Protestant,
by Southern Austria or Northern Prussia
