REMARKS.

We have established flrst-class school of
ten years standing, inferior to none in Ken
lucky, for the education of young ladies', on
plain, practical principles, devoid of unnec-
essary expense and superficial display. / am
located in a healthy portion of the country, on
large and fertile iarm, and give my whole
attention to the supplying of the household
with every provision necessary for health and
comfort raise large supplies of corn, wheat,
hogs. cattle, vegetables and fruits; canned
fruits are always prepared for winter use.
Being thus situated. / am able to give a
better salary to competent teachers, to fur
nsh your daughters healthier food, and
charge you more moderate prices than yoT
can find IN any school of like advantage in
any State in the Union. Every years ex-
perieuce teaches the importance of having
girls removed from the many disturbing in
huences incident to school in town or
city Many thanks are due the public for
liberal patronage during the past years, and
by a faithful discharge of our dnties through
out the coming ones, we hope to merit and re-
ceve renewed proofs of confidence and ap-
probation.

Fifty (50) letters from thirty 800 par

plain of excessive rains and represent
the weather as having heen rather less
ia orable than last year. The plant is
generally represented as being well
truited, though we have some com
plants OF shedding. Worms are report
ed but they have done little or no dam
age. The area under cultivation is esti-
mated to be about equal to last seasons.
Most correspondents give the date OF

Tie Fall session will open on the first Mon
day in September, 1873. The Distinguished
reputation of the teachers, and the superior

tile ftrn. The abundant crops now on hand
enable the proprietor to offer rare induce.
ments to all who desire TO educate their
daughters at a home institution, which af-
fords superior facilities for physical, intel
ectual and moral culture and excellent Op-
portunities for a complete English education,
Ancient and Modern Languages, Art, Music,
etc, thoroughly taught. All its pupils become
members of the family-none boarding else

Is 1T IRONY The leading article in
a recent issue of Georgia Democratic
Journal reads as follows: "Weregret that
there are few men from the north with
brains, character. and influence. and
good intentions, who, after coming
south, are urging upon our people
pie what is termed the higher civilization
of the north In the south we have just
as high type of civilization as we want,
based upon honor integrity, and personal
worth, and which, although for a time
dimmed by the action of adventures and
their dupcs, will some day shine more
brightly for all that. We want emigra-
ton from the north and elsewhere. We
want Yankee skill, Yankee integrity,
money and muscle. We want
them to come and bring with them their
politics, their religion and their civilization,
if they like, but we do not wish them here
for the purpose of ENGRAVING them on our
soil. They are not suited for this latitude,
end it would be as impossible for them to
grow south as it would be for one Of our
tropical plants to flourish in the region of
the north pole. Our soil is not congenial
to such growth, and as we have a ciyiliza-
ton peculiarly our own, one that has made
ours the most splendid country on the
globe, and with which we are perfectly
satisfied, we beg TO be excused from ac-
cepting any other, especially when it is the
foster-parent of isms and the most loath-
some teachings. We will take your mo-
ney and other things we need, and you
may keep your civilization to yourselves"

No one who has lived in Washington but

ker, once governor Of Mississippi, secretary
of the treasury, and retained as an able

port in the internal revenue. Mrs. Mary
johnson, daughter of Colonel Albert, who
for long series of years was head of the
Typographical bureau, has for ten years
been clerk in the treasury. Her husband
was consul to Florence, and died there a
short time before the war. Not long after
her father died, and as she had two sons to
rear and educate, she laid aside all pride
and became government clerk, or, to be
precise, a female employee, for the civil SER

THE diamond region Of South Africa
has been erected into separate colony of
Great Britain, under the name Of Griqua-
land West. Its extent is 1880 square
miles. About $1,000 persons are hunting
for diamonds, of which $4,000, 900 were
dug out last year. The diggings have been
well turned over, and people are divertng
their attention to agriculture and to
developing the mineral resources of iron.
copper, and coal. Nothing has been heard
from the Orange Free State, so it is to be
inferred that the farmers of the little
republic thought it wisest to make no fuss
when the British lion laid its claw on a
portion of their territory.
