TIE CONGRESSIONAL PLAN OF RECON
sTRUCrioN A NECESsiTY.-To attain the end,
we had to look for the measures 1t was alb iolute-
" necessary to dev-G measures which could be
relied upon to secure the development of free
labor, to prevent the return of arstocratic class
Government, and to afford sufficient protection
to the Union elemen. of the South. How could
this be done ! Could the development of free
labor be insured against the rcactionary desires
OF II pro-savery people by excluding the over
whelming majority of the laborcrs from all inu-
eilce upon legislation and the direction of pub
lie affairs and placing all political power as II
monopoly in the hands of the lifelong enemies
OF free labor, Could sufficient protection he
insured to the machinery of political power into
the hands of those who hated and prosecuted
them TO do this would have boon folly and
crime combined. In order to be true TO its duty
Congress was bound to place the Governments
of the late rebel States upon an enlarged Dem
ocratic basis by arming nith the J@itot that class
Of the southern population ,rhOsr interests nnd
sympathies are most closely identified Nth the
mcn order Of things. The introduction of negro
suffrage in the late rebel States was, therefore,
not matter Of fancy or choice, not even merely
matter of gratitude, but matter Of absolute
necessity.
This is the reconstruction policy of Congress
which the Chicago Convention has endorsed
and pledged itself to maintain, and by this we
mean to stand.

WASH AND be CLEAN.-No thing tends more
to our general health, our appearance and
feeling, than frequent and thorough cleans
ing of our person by gracious application
of soap and water. Decency, comfort, and
respect for the finer feelings of others, if
prompted by no other motives, should alone
be sufficient to cause those who have such
an adherence Of these purifiers that they
seldom apply them to any other parts
than the hands and face, to resort to their
speedy and frequent appliance. At this
season of the year, persons perspire greatly,
and if this perspiration is not removed by
washing, it becomes sour, and causes the
body to emit disagreeablc odor, which is
as sckening as disgusting.
For the existence of this offensivcness
among laborers there is some excuse but
what say you when you enter the circles of
refined society to find this very odor emitted
from the young miss at the piano, so strong
ly as to fill the entire room, to the entire
discontinue of her guests? Frequently have
known this to be the case and yet the
parties themselves seemed wholly uncon-
scious of the fact, although it was noticed
by, and made subject of remark among,
their intimate friends. Whether this was
an entire oversight, an aversion to water, or
laziness, on their part, know mott care
not but that it is indecent and reproachtul,
firmly avow. No one having any selfre.
spect, and particularly young lady, would
ever permit such a state of things to exist.

Who BUILT THE CArIToI.-7rhe capitol of
the United States, as it stands, is the work
of many persons, of whom but two or three
are noticeable. Dr. Thornton made the
first design, said by Washington to combine
grandeur, simplicity and convenience. II
The architects retained but two or three
features Of Thornton's design. ard preferred
one by Mrs. S. lIallct. b. II. Latrobc, of
an enterprising Maryland family, began to
rebuild the capitol after the British burnt it.
1t was thirty five years after the laying of
the corner. stone before a completed national
capitol existed in America The extension
of the capitol has already occupied eighteen
years. Washington laid the cornerstone Of
the old, Webster of the new capitol. The
Brunelleschi of the house is Thomas /.
Walter, the Ghiberl Of it is Thomas Craw
ford. There are three names, therefore,
Halet, Walter, Crawford-wth whom are
associated the merits of the capitol. Walter
is incomparatively the national architect :
he built the Girard College at Philadelphia,
and on that building and the dome Of the
capitol his fame will last.

with five parts of glyaarina, according to the
Philadelphia Jonrnal ef Pharmary, gives a
preparation of great value as an ungnent for
application to broken surfaces of the skin Of all
kinds. The compound has IL horney-lkc con-
