HOUSEHOLD USE OF BoRAX.--A late
number of the Manufacturer and Builder
says that powdered borax placed in their
way is sure death to cockroaches, with the
advantage Of other exterminators Of being
non poisonous to other forms of life about
the house. 1t is also valuable as washing
powder, being much used in Holland and
Belgium in proportion Of large handful
of the powder to ten gallons Of water. 1t
makes the clothes look very white and
clean, and saves one half the soap. For
lace, cambrics, etc, an extra quantity is
required. Being a neutral salt, it does
DOT injure the the quality of the linen. 1t
is said to soften the hardest water, is a
valuable agent for cleaning the scalp and
is also an excellent dentifrice. In hot
countries it is used in combination with
tartaric acid and bicarbonate of soda as
cooling beverage. GALAXY.

ELLINGTON, N. c., Aug. 26, 1871.
Dear Journal Recent events show Us
that all questions suggested for "public
good" are generally confined to very
small compass, by principles of false
method of reasoning, without reference to
its fitness or utility and without consult
ing the light Of reason. Such is so charGc
teristic of the political doctrine Of North
Carolinians. We can never regain our lost
prosperity by our pre,eut stern, inactive
manner of business. It is by the mt ans oil
which have proposed that we must look
for that improvement which is so much
needed.
1t is by the means of immigration that
has built up the great Western States, and
rendered them so superior, in point of the
development of their internal resources.
And is is to this alone that we can look to
for the IT storation of North Carolina.
Let the country be supplied with reliable
labor, and with her unrivaled advantages
she will yet occupy her former position
among the prospecting States.
While the Western States are being
built up and otherwise receiving The ad-

county about 300 families of immigrants
on our farms, besides what can be en-
ployed in Wilmington around mills, &C.
Let US then form an association in Will
mington this Fall. for the importation of
a small number to meet the local demand,
and let each man subscribe for as many as
he can employ. We will find the immi-
grants better in every way than the negro.
These immigrants can be procured in New
York or other large cities, and by import.
ing a small number the demand will in

turned Southwark, then we can with re-

basis. But can any manner of business be
