Hot Weather and Oils.

The thermometer says the tenn
perature now varies from 90 to 1000
in the shade. Probably few per
sons are aware that it is at that
temperature that ordinary coal oil
reaches what is called it's +" flash
ing" or dangerous point. Persons
can nave THEIR foars -o4ksst ec, Nv
burning the Headlight Oil, which is
as about safe as lard or sperm oil.
1t burns with the ordinary coal oil
burner, burns one-third longer than
coal oil, and costs seventy FIVE cts.
per gallOn-which makes it safer
and cheaper than coal oil. 1t can
be found at n. G. Orrick's, No. II

To the Public.

Persons who contract with car
penters, bricklayers and others, for
building or repairing houses, would
find it to their advantage to contract
separately for the painting with the
mechanic who does the work. By
doing so, they will save % per cent
on the job, and have the painting
done 20 per cent. better.

liarities as in New York or Pennsylvania.
But taking everything into account
we maintain, fearless of successful contra
diction, that the conditions of successful
farming here are equal 10 those of any
other state IN Me Union.
Nay, more we maintain that, consider
ing their location and the great variety of
fruits, grasses, and cereals, that we can
grow here, our lands are the cheapest on
the American continent. BIT we insist
that no man shall come here and buy
lands away from the great lines of transit
in quantities beyond his means to improve,
and in thinly settled neighborhoods, desti-
tute of cooperation and support. We say,
let no man come here IN HaS sUoy and ca
peel to succeed.
A thickly settled neighborhood, with
good roads and schools, is essential to sue
cessful farming. To insure this, colonies
are essential, we repeat again. All isolated
settlements by Northern men or Europeans
will certainly be failures. Now this is
our say on the matter of Virginia as a
farming state. We call upon those who
are crying out against Virginia lands, and
trying to induce everybody to go West. to
show us the men who have come here, To-
Gated well and farmed thoroughly, who
have failed. We hope to receive from our
friends all over the State, facts throwing
light upon this subject.

unmistakable evidence that there is some
thing wrong in Prince Bismarck's estimate
of the happiness ofthe Empire.
People who have so much love and pride
of country as the Germans, do not expatri-
ate themselves without cause and that
cause must be deep and corroding to IN
duce such results as we now see. The
classes of Germans coming here are the
very best in the Empire-those who consti-
tute its chief element OF strength, not only
in a military, but in an industrial and
economic point Of view. They are the very
bone and sinew of the Empire-those who
create its wealth, and give it such glorious
prestige in war. Why do they thus leave
the Fatherland, if everything is so lovely
under the present order of things?
