Valley Forge.

The house which Washington made
his headquarters at Valley Forge, on
the Schuylkill, has, from every ap-
pearance, had the greatest care taken
of il. and is now in excellent repair.
Little changes have been made in ii
since the terrible days of the Reyolu-
zion. 1t is rock house, consisting OF
two rooms below and two above, hav-
ing narrow hall. (Some One-story
rooms have been added.-The style
CT the window sash and woodwork,
generally shows its great antiquity.
The inside is painted white. The
rooms are neatly papered, and every
thing appears tidy and attractive.
The old entertainments have also
withstood the rugged hand of time,
being almost perfect in some places.
This may be accounted for in some
respects by the nature of the ground:
There is a great deal of rock mixed
with the thrown-up dirt. Part of the
entertainments extend through wood
ed country. The forts are still eleva-
ted above the common level, and, un-
less moved by the hand of man, will
remain there for centuries to come.
There are five cannon-balls at the
head quarters. Here the American
army endured sad want from hunger
and here its great commander bowed
| his .head in prayer.

Ink Stains.

In visit to Marseilles little incident
came within my observation which may
prove serviceable to many of your read
ers. In the Hotel des En.pereurs, where
/ was residing, an inkstand was acciden-
tally overturned upon beautiful table
spread; those present thought that the
cloth was ruined. A servant being CALI
ed in to remove the article from the TIA
Bile, all were surprised when he assured
us that no harm was done, and more
surprised at witnessing the successful
means resOrted to for removing the ink
stains. The servant sprinkled over the
cloth quantity of pepper and salt, and
rubbed them over its surface. The mix
ture soon absorbed every portion Of the
ink, and the table-spread was in as good
a condition as before the accident. The
spread was of WOODEN fabric. This is
rather incredible, but it cal do no harm
to try it.-EL.

1t vas not enough that she was
placed in the garden of Eden for US
We were blind for many thousand
years When the world was younger
we made her fetch our wood and cook
our food and play the mental. In our
day of chiyalry We taught her TO be a
pretty Amazon, to dress cur wounds,
to bind her scarf about our helmet,
to receive fantastic and insincere adj
Grafton. Then, as if there were never
to be an end to Our nonsense, we fam
cied that she was an Arcadian shop
herdess, or lovely wood-nymph
with confused ideas Of virtue. Then
was the sickiy, sentimental, pastoral
age in full play. Then did she tap
us on the cheek with her fan, and
smirk and smile, and paint and pow
der, and wear her hair four stories
high. But by-and-by she wearies of
these follies. We began to treat her
with more sense then little by little
she began to assert herself; the better
we treated her the more she asserted,
until at last we cried ont like Frank
enstein, "wIlat monster is this we
have created?" But it was not mon
ster-it was only a Woman! Great
in her weakness, noble in her charity,
beautiful in her patience. We have
found her out! She was never so rec
ognized as now; we have discovered
that she has brain as well as heart
that she can write verse like Mrs
Browning, paint pictures like Rosa
Bonheur be the nurse and physician
like Florence Nightingale, and the
humane woman of business like Miss
Burdett Coutts.

Broom Corn.

Not only in this State, but in Vir-
ginia and other States, as we learn
from our exchanges, disposition is
manifested to engage in the cultiva-
ton of broom corn to greater extent
than ever before. This may, aud
doubtless will prove profitable for q
while, but it must be apparent on re-
Election thas the general cultivation
of this crop will, in few years, re-
suit in overstocking the market, and
the demand for broom cannot be
stimulated beyond a certain point.
Hence, we do not think it will be
wise i'm any one to abandon every
thing else, as some persons intend to
do. TO raise broom corn.
We gave some directions concer-
ming this crop, few weeks ago, and
now we print the following article
taken from the Cultirator. 1t is in
reply to heterogeneous by Virginia
correspondent. The writer, who has
had long experience in raising this
crop, says:
Prepare the land the same as for
corn: top dressed with barn-yard
manure, narrowed and planted about
the 10Th of April in rows3 y to 4 feet
apart; dropped seed as thinly as pos
sible in rows, and covered with one
horse Virginia coulter-found coulter
covers rather too deep. Give seed
but slight covering. When corn was
up 4 or 5 inches, tlinned to six inches
apart in rows. Worked the same as
properly worked corn. When brush
were we'll out in flower, owing to
tendency of bending down by weight
of seed, had it broken down between
two Joints next below brush. 1t
should not be allowed to get TOO ripe.
In cutting, each cutter takes two rows ;
grasping brush midway, in the left
hand, by a quick motion of the knife
it is cut off 6 orS inches from where
brush Joins stalk. 1t needs practice,
as the stalk is out Of sight in upper
leaf. When q handful of brush is cut,
it is laid on pile of stalks cut for the
purpose, and which have been al
ready deprived of brush.

brush is we'll cured, it can be piled a
foot deep ON poles. ! found keeping
the brush as straight as possible, to
be the greatest help at cleaning. The
seed should be cleaned out on a floor,
as it has tendency to mould in large
piles. The seed shelter will not de-
scribe, but it can be obtained ut $50
or $40. assorted straight from the
bent brush. Bale in hay press, put
ting down two layers, butts out, and a
third layer between to lock bale.
Mine is not baled yet, butt is my
intention to pursue this course.
1t is not well to 60 exclusively or
even largely into broom corn raising,
but it win pay best in connection
with other crops.
The seed about pays for raising
crop. / planted ten acres on fair
land, and raised about 5000 pounds
brush, although the season was the
worst known here for years, ON ac-
count of drouth. Many farmers
failed entirely in corn crop. No
doubt 1 should have raised one-half
more broom corn if the year bad bee
favorable. Ny crop cost $50 up to
time of bailing. The seed, mixed
with half the quantity of corn and
ground, makes excellent chop for
hogs, horses and cattle.

Once upon a time an accomplished
Young American woman had the hon.
or to dine with the Car of all the
Russians. During the royal enter
tainment plate OF delicious grapes
was passed around. 1t is true the
young lady saw the golden knife,
which rested on the side of the basket
but as the fruit came to her first she
had no way of learning its use; so she
did Just as she would have done in
America-she reached out her dainty
fingers and lifted from the dish a
whole stem of grapes. What was her
CONSERVATION TO see the next person,
as well as all the other guests, take
the golden knife and sever single
grape each. and transfer it to their
plates. Had young Russian lady in
this country helped herself TO whole
chicken. the error would have been
precisely the same. 1t it is true the
Young woman committed no crime
but her feelings and those of her
friends would have been spared had
she learned the etiquette of the royal
tables before she became an Emper-
Or's guest.

Now why this sorry cotton? There
must be cause for every effect, and
there is cause for this. In the first
place, the seeds TINT came up first were
those black lintless seed. the second
growth were those with more lint, and
the last, that came up were those thick,
heavy Tinted seed, aud which should
have been left to mature for crop.
But some will say how will we thus
manage to get the last growth-give us
the modxs Operandi. It is easily done.
Plant your seed any way you prefer;
cover with plow, (small) let the ridge
stand. When the first Is up good, run
board or light harrow over It 80 as to
kill the first growth, and If done the
same way ~ith the second growth that
Genes up, so much the better; then the
last that comes up will bear seed after its
own kind, and upon the seed good long
staple lint; and by so doing In a few
years cotton would be greatly improved.
i know a farmer who sOwed his cotton
seed, the same kind he had sowed for
years, and the frost bit down and killed
his cotton after good stand was up.
In a few days another stand was up, and
another frost killed that. He then con-
cluded to pillow 1t up and sow again. but
before he had done so another stand was
up. This he cultivated; the result was
the best crop he ever made, and his
neighbors came to him to buy seed, as
they thought it a new and superior kind
of cotton, and he being good Mason
kept the secret, until he realized nearly
asi much cash for his seed as he did for
his lint.-Brandon Mss. Repablicaa.
