WHITEwAsHING A correspondent of
the Germsamtoeon (Pa.) Telegraph fur
nishes the foliowin g:
AS the house cleaning time will soon
be here, it may not be amiss to say a
few words IN regard to whitewashing.
There are many recipes published, but
we think the following to be the best
that can be used: White chalk is the
best substitute for lime as wash. A
very fine and brilliant whitewash prepa-
ration of chalk is called "Paris White"
This we buy at the paint stores for three
cents pound, retail. For each sixteen
pounds of Paris White we procure half a
pound of the white transparent glue,
costing twenty-five cents fifty cents a
I'VE q xteen pounds of Paris
White is abo6t as much as person will
use in day. 1t is prepared as follows:
The glue is covered with cold water at
night: and in the morning is carefully
heated, without scorchihg, until dissolv-
ed. The Paris White is stirred in with
hot water enough to give it the proper
milky consistency for applying to the
walls, and the dissolved glue is then ad-
ded and thoroughly mixed It is then
applied with a brush like the common
lime white wash. Except on very dark
and smoky walls and ceilings, single
coat is sufficient. It is nearly equal in
brilliancy to zinc white far more ex-
pensive article. e.,

tien to the depleted and Impoverished
South and Southwest, it presents considera-
tons of paramount importance. A rapidly
augmentiDg agricultural population would
follow and precede construction. The re-
ciurocal benefits of trade and traffic. follow
ing the facilities of cheapened and rapid ex-
change between the heretofore isolated
Northwest and Southwest, the means Of
travel and social intercourse, the close iden.
tity of interest which trade and trafie would
engender, and the appliances of comfort and
wealth which would speedily surround an
Industrious population, would soon obliter-
ate the memory of past reverses of fortune,
and inaugurate durable prosperity.
The question of African suffrage would
cease to alarm, any more than the Mexican
voters of Texas in the past, because OF the
enormous augmentation and preponderance
of the white population that would flow

development would be the

Let Messrs. Morgan, Tucker and others,
who would tie up the extension of the
Opelousas road in the intricacies and un-
certainties of protracted law suits and
suits in bankruptcy, change their proceed
ings and act with such men as General
Longstreet and Colonel Parsons, aside
from personal considerations, and for the
public good help to connect New Orleans
and Houston by means of railroad that
will give us cheap aud quick transporta-
ton between this State and Texas, and at
the same time connect US with The great
Southern Pacific railroad.
