WOMAN SUFFRAGE-Judee Underwood
has written letter to the Fairfax county
Nesos, in which he gives notice that having
maturely considered" the subject, I" be
feels very confident that the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments of the United States
Constitution, together with the enforce
ment act of May 81, 1870, have secured the
right to vote to our female citizens as fully
as they are now exercised and enjoyed by
male citizens" He prefaces this with say
ing: s'I would not be understood as pre-
judging any case that may be brought be-
lore me for official action, and shall always
be open for conviction and change of
opinion on every legal question"
The Alexandria Gazette very reasonably
adds:
"But it is sufficiently obvious that if a
case is made up for his decision, the right
of female suffrage will be admitted, as far
as his decision will 60, in this State. Else
why this notice, and apparent invitation to
test the question by an appeal to him: So
look out for an attempt at new agitation"

The Washington Chronicle has re-
ceived from the Examiner of Agricul-
tural Implements in the Patent Office
the following statement:
1t is not generally known that during
the third year Of the war, with halt a
million of men taken from the indus
trial pursuits of a peaceful agricultural
life, that there was a greater number Of
acres of land under cultivation, and a
greater harvest gathered in the free
States than ever before known. This
resulted from the use of machinery in
the cultivation of the soil, and which
supplied the place of human muscle in
the field. This remarkable result OF the
influence of machinery in cultivation,
prymoting in SO high degree the pros
perity, led me to investigate the subject
from another standpoint. An exami-
nation of the records of the Patent OF
fee from 1850 to 1860 inclusive, show
that nearly ninety-eight per cent. OF
for patents for improve
ments in agricultural implements were
from the free States, and but fraction
over two per cent. was from the slave
States. Since the close of the war, the
planters of the South have been thrown
upon their own resources for the cultl-
vation of the soil, and free hired labor
or machinery, or both combined, must
be relied upon to take the place OF slave
labor. But it was found, upon trial,

Luxury In Ancient Rome.
From the Scientific American.

If anything more Here wanted to
give us an idea of Roman magnifcence,
we could turn our eyes from public
monuments, demoralizing games and
grand PROFESSIONS we would forget the
statues in brass and marble, which out
numbered the living inhabitants SC
numerous that one hundred thousand
have been recovered and still embellish
Italy, and would descend into the lower
sphere of material life, to those things
which attest luxury and taste, to orna-
ments, dresses, sumptuOus living, and
rich furniture. The art Of using metals
and precious stones surpasses anything
known at the present time.
In the decoration of houses, in social
entertainments, in cookery, the Romans
were remarkable The mosaics, signet
rings, canoes, bracelets, bronze, chains,
vases, mirrors, mattresses, cosmetics,
perfumes, hair dyes, silk robes, pot
teries-all attest great elegance and
beauty. The tables Of thugaroot and
Italian bronze were as expensive as the
side-boards of Spanish walnut, SO much
admired in the great exhibition at Lon
don. Wood and ivory were carved as
exquisitely as in Japan or China. Mir
rors were made of polished silver,
Glass cutters could initiate the colors of
precious stones so we'll that the Port
land vase, from the tomb of Alexander
Severns was long considered as a gen
uine sardonyx; brass could be hardened
so as to cut stone.
The palace of Nero glittered with
were showered from ivory ceilings.
The halls of Heliogabulus were hung
with cloth and gold, enriched with
jewelry. His beds were silver, and his
table of gold. Tiberius gave a million
of sesterces for a picture of his bed
room. A banquet dish of Disilus
weighed five hundred pounds of silver.
The cups of Dresus were of gol !.
Tunics were embroidered with the
figures of various animals. Paulina
wore jewels, when she paid visits, val
ued at $4,000. Drinking cups were
engraved with scenes from the poets.
Libraries were adorned with busts and
presses of rare wood. Sofas were inlaid
with tortoise shell and covered with
gorgeous purple.
The Roman grandees rode In gllded
chariots, bathed in marble baths, dined
from golden plate, drank from chrystal
cups, slept on beds of down, reclined
on luxurious couches, wore embroid-
cred robes, and were adorned with pre-
cious stones they ransacked the earth
and the sea for rare dishes for their
banquets, and ornamented their houses
with carpets from Babylon, onyx cups
from Bythania, marble from Numidia,
bronzes from Corinth, statues from
Athens-whatever, i'll short, was pre-
cious and curious in most countries.
The luxuries of the bath almost ex-
ceeded belief, and on the walls were
magnificent frescoes and paintings, ex-
hibiting an almost inexhaustible pro-
ductiveness in landscape and mythology
cal scenes.

They stood in front of the house in

Wouldn't you like to go I'M? she

"Yes. It's pity we haven't got the

forthwith walked up the steps and pro-

ton smiling.
With some difficulty Mrs. Newton
persuaded her husband that the price
of the house was really the result of her
savings. He felt when he surveyed the
commodious arrangements of the new
house, that he had reasons to be grateful
for the prudence of his managing wife.

How a Mother Taught Reading.

| have heard of lady who, thirty
years ago, taught her children to read
from toy books and newspapers until
they could read distinctly and by COM
prehension any short article written in
simple language. Her method was to
show the child picture, as of an OK !;
then, finding the word "ox," she would
tell him that was COX" also-one being
the picture of the animal and the other
the picture of its name. She thus
taught the child to associate the two as
one idea, and he was then directed to
find the word in some other book or
paper, and thus the word OK, wherever
found and in whatever company, repre-
sented to him definite idea, an animal
with which he was familiar. She would
then take a word describing the OK in
respect to color, size, or form, and pro-
ceed in the same way until it was made
familiar. After several words were thus
made familiar, she showed that these
words were composed of letters. and
that by combining these letters in
different ways the names of other fami-
liar objects could be formed. In a little
time the children formed pleasant
pastime in trying to form words for
themselves, and in fitting them to
familiar objects.-NationaJ I6 cher.

Forever.


Forever and ever the reddening leaves
Float on the golden grasses,
Forever and ever the shivering trees
Cover and shrink to the chilling breeze
That sweeps from the far-off sullen seas,
To wither them as it passes.
Forever and ever the low gray sky
StoOps Ger the sOrrowful earth.
Forever and ever the steady rain
Falls on bare, bleak hill and barren plain,
And flashes on roof and window pane,
And Kisses upon the earth,
Forever and ever the weary thoughts
Are tracing the self-same track.
Forever and ever, to and fro
On the old unchanging road they go,
Through sleeping and dreaming, through JOY an'
WOe
Calling the dead hours back.
Forever and ever the tired heart
Ponders DER evil DONE
Forever and ever through cloud and gleam,
Tracing the course of the long life stream,
And dreary and dull as the broken dream,
Forever the rain rains on.

DR.. HALL, in his Journal Of Health,
says the best medicines in the world,
more efficient in the cure of disease
than all the potencies eff the materia
medica, are warmth, rest, cleanliness,
and pure air. Some persons make it a
virtue to brave disease, " to keep up +"
as long as they can move foot or
crook a finger, and it somtimes sue
ceeds; but oftener the powers of life
are thereby so completely exhausted
that the system has lost all ability to
recuperate, and slow and typhoid fevers
set in, and carry the patient to a prema-
ture grave. Whenever walking or work
is an effort, a warm bed and cool ro N
are the very first indispensable steps to
a sure and speedy recovery. Instinct
leads all beasts and birds to quietude
and rest the very moment disease or
wounds assail the system.

waiting Northern crops were perfectly
adapted to Sauthern culture for exam

for planting cotton seed, and the same
was found true in regard to cultivators.
This was also true of many others that

These men, making virtue q necessi-

in earnest, and the records of the last
two years show the most gratifying re-
suit. lhe applications for patents from
the former slave States has risen, from
fraction over two per cent. to, about
thirty per cent Of all the cases filed,
and it is reported that the cotton crop
has been greater under the improved
mode of culture than ever before

South have only begun to reap the ben
efits of their now spositiong and with the
future improvement of their simple
ments of agriculture they will reap a
corresponding increase of product.
