supplemental Resolutions.

RESOLVED, That in the opinion OF this Confen-
tion Congress should provide for such an extern
sion of the powers of the Federal courts, as to
protect all rights and secure prompt remedies for
all wrongs in the States lately in rebellion, where
the partisan character of the local courts, or the
nadeuuacy of their power, fails to secure pro-
lection to any portion Of the people.
ResoLped, That we are in favor OF an amend
ment to the Constitution of the United States
providing for the election of President, vice.
President, and Senators, directly by the people,
and far possible, for such direct election OF
all other public officers.
ResolUed, That the National domain is the
common heritage of all the people, and snoulu
be sacredly guarded from speculation and mono
poly; sold only for homesteads to actual settlers
in small quantities, and the proceeds applied to
education.
ResoEued, That this Convention earnestly re
commends the establishment of q free National
University in the city of Washington, to utilize
the immense educational material now collected
there; such University to be supported from the
proceeds OF sales of the public lands
Resolyed, That cheap communication by mail
is one of the most precious interests OF the peo-
pie, and we call upon Congress to perfect our
present excellent system by adding there 10 tae

EARLY AND LATE PoTAToEs.-Ap1I
0.--Having tried nearly all the new and
old varieties of potatoes in cultivation in
this country, have brought my list down
to the ''rule of three" viz Early Rose for
early and the Peerless and Peach Blow for
late. There may be better sorts but not
for my soil and locality. The Early Rose
has always been satisfactory both in yield
and quality, and by keeping them in cool
cellar, they answer just as well for late as
early, and / do not think | would care
much even if no other sort could be OBJ
tanned. Of course, soil and climate have
powerful influence over the production,
as well as quality and variety, and what is
good in one locality may be very poor in
another. A cool, moist soil, but not a
wet one, is best suited to the potato, and
to secure this in localities subject to
drouths, mulching is quite important. ~
covering the surface of the ground with
any coarse mulch, large yield of good
sized tubers is almost certain anywhere IN
the Middle states, while without it crop
is uncertain, especially in light soils.
Whether the mulch will cost more than the
increase in crop is worth, depends upon
circumstances.

SWARTHMORE MISREPRESENTATION
College is new institution, founded by
Friends, and located near Philadelphia
The building is substantial and admirably
adapted to its use, is finely situated with
commanding view and delightful rural
surroundings. The number of students
in attendance is about two hundred and
fifty, those of the preparatory de-
partment, at present, largely preponder-
ating. The particular and important ex-
pertinent on trial at Swarthmore, more
fully, we believe, than in any other kim
Jred institution, is the co-educaton Of the
sexes. They are nearly equally divided in
numbers, with equal opportunities and
advantages. Thus far the experiment has
been eminently successful, fully realizing
the most sanguine expectatio OF those
interested in and responsible for its initia-
ton.
A correspondent of the New York
National Standard says "We attended
Friends meeting held every First day
morning in the college building, and COM
posed mainly of the students, professors
and teachers. 1t is chiefly addressed by
Phebe w. Foulke, the matron, a woman
of rare quality of mind and character
occasionally by Friends visiting the college.
lit is worthy of note that no young man is
allowed to enter or remain at Swarthmore,
addicted to the use of tobacco. We were
gratifed also to find thoughtful inquiry
and interest, on the part of the students,
concerning the position of woman. AS
we met the students, young men and
women, in the parlors, in the class and
study rooms, dining-room, and about the
grounds of Swarthmore, with their good
cheer and perfect decorum, we were re-
minded of the atmosphere of the well
ordered, cultured home, rather than college
life as usually found where the sexes are
separated, especially the abnormal life O
colleges of young men only. The intel
lectual drill is very thorough under the
efficient direction of Prof. Magll, and his
competent assistants. Such an institution
;as Swarthmore has long been an urgent
need among Friends. We have had large
expectations of it from the outset, and are
much gratified with the suspicious begin
ming already made in the good work, no
for Friends alone, but for the lbera
public, which it is designed to accomplish

VACCINATION A CURE FOR SMALL

can show from cases under his care at the

slightly increased, but the eruption does
not make its appearance, and If you
vaccinate during the eruptive stage
the eruption is Immediately arrested. The
mature lymph overtakes the immature

A writer in Moore's Rural speaks Of
having Just sown in his greenhouse the
seed Of 20 species of grasses, all different
from the 30 which he cultivated last year.
While they are growing he studies culture
and habits, and when they have arrived at
the proper stage (which is usually when in
bloom, or few days later, they are
either cut or pulled up, and the requisite
number of specimens carefully pressed and
dried, then labeled and put away in his
herbarium. Thus he acquires in cheap
and simple way an exact knowledge of
grasses and other plants. He finds great
qualification in these and similar botanical
Investigations, and he expresses the
belief that farmers sons and daughters,
and farmers also who are not yet
too old to learn new tricks, might
turn their attention to these things with
profit and with that ever-increasing pleas
ure which the requirement of knowledge,
and particularly of knowledge of nature
and her wonderful workings, always af-
fords. To such as may be tempted to be-
gin with the grasses, he makes the follow
ing suggestions Suppose there are five or
ten men or boys in school district who
desire to obtain knowledge of the plants
which are essentially the foundation of all
our agricultural wealth. Let them club
together and send So or $40 to some well
known scotsman for fifty or one hundred
species of grass. A small paper of seed,
costing not more than five or ten cents
each, will be sufficient of any one spe-
cies. Let these be distributed among
the members of the club, or allow any
one who is known to be skilled in
such matters to cultivate them, being care
full to preserve both the common and scien-
tific names. At the proper time save as
many specimens as there are members OF
the club, or even greater number will be
found useful. Press, carefully label, and
preserve for future study and reference.
At an expense not exceeding 81 each men,
Der of club could obtain from 80 to 10C
species of grasses, with their proper names
attached. Any young man who will start
with this number will not be very likely to
cease his efforts until hundreds are added
to the collection. Other plants beside
grasses will be very likely to receive atten'
ton, and the boy who might otherwise
grow up in ignorance of the simplest weee
under his feet, will eventually become {
man of more than ordinary intelligence, i
not of great scientific attainments. When
ever our agriculturists learn how simple {
thing it is to obtain knowledge of theil
own intermediate surroundings, we shall
see a much higher order of questions asked
by them through the agricultural press
Boys, begin your grass herbarium thu
