through all of the loug years since that
first tragedy. -.I
Solomon believed in progression. He
thought that the sciences might be bet
ter understood; that new discoveries
were to be made; that the Atlantic
would be crossed in a balloon; but
Solomon's radicalsm didn't include the
coming woman. She was to be what
she had been from the beginning. So
he pooh poohed at his daughters farm
ing, not believing chat any good thing
should come out of Nazareth.
1t was an uphill road to those five
dainty daughters of Solomon Brown.
But in one thing they resembled their
father. They weles obstinate, and
when they learned his prediction rs to
their failure, they were quite deter
mined not to fail. lIt ry Ht
They were up early and worked late.
Their strawberries were Il success.
They gave employment to number of
girls in the village in gathering their
small fruits, thus recognizing the true
policy, that women must help each
other. They kept one hired man, and
under his instruction these young Ia
dies learned to turn ready hand to all
kinds of farm labor.
Old Solomon Browns "pooh-poohs /"
grew less emphatic, and he began to
speak with sort of shamefaced pride
of 'our girls place., Then, when
the fame of these women's farming had
trNeled far, and people efrom a
distance to inspect personally their sue
cess, Solomon began to feel proud in
saying, "Yes, sir, they are my girls"
"Your girls are all boys, then, said
one, smiling, quotlngaRip Van Winkle.
"Justas good as boys" said Solomon
Brown, bushing at the retraction of old
sentiments. But theories must fall be-
fore convictions, and well filled wheat,
fine potatoes, good corn, etc., were
more convincing to Solomon of his
daughters worth than volumes favor
ing the "subjection of woman"
Solomon Browns daughters still hold
Jacob Sloan's farm Lucy, the young
est, is married to Frank Lawler, but
instead of her going home to him, as is
the manner of the world, he came home
to her. ...
Under the homestead laws, woman
that isn't at the head of a family-that
is, widow-cannot pre-empt land. II
this was not the case, do believe that
one of Solomon Browns would go west
and take up piece of land. As it is,
they are all going in the spring, and
Solomon will enter hundred and sixty
acres in his own name, which in reality
will belong to his daughters, as it will
be purchased with the profits of theil

"NEw PROCESS" FLoUR.-Mr. GEORGE F.
Webb, -four commission merchant on North
street, has recently introduced in this msrhet
flour made away up in the interior Of Mir.
nesota by what is styled the "pew process
for purifying middlings." This -four Is in
nany respects different from that mauufac-
tured by our pillers, being heavy bodied
and Of such consistency that when thrown
into the air 1t does not fly of into particles,
but desceuds into the hand in mass. 1t
requires one-third more water 10 mixing than
in ordinary -four, and in kneadipg into
dough much more labor is necessary. lie
bread made from it, as is claimed, will re-
main fresh for a long time. What is not
known about the "new process flour is
the yield to the bushe Of grain. On
Saturday last Mr.. Webb sold lot Of this
-four to dealer here at eight dollars per bar
rel, and telegraphed the fact to the shlppe 8
in Minnesota, but was surprised to receive a
reply that be had sold too low, as the same
flour was going in New York at 1915. It's
claimed that by the "new purifying pro-
cess" it has been found in Minnesota that
spring wheat can be made into the highest
priced -four, and that the same can be done
with other kinds of wheat. The parties
shipping the flour here control about twenty
mills in Minnesota, in all OF which the new
machinery has been introduced. The pro.
cess has so far been kept secret. The owner
of the patent, Mir. Wilson AgeI, was in this
city last week, and it is understood that ne
gotations are Oh foot for the formation Of a
stock company to manufacture the "new
process" -four here.-Bdltinlore american

MANUFACTURES IN RICnH0SD.-[F From the
New York Times. The manufactured
products Of Richmond now amount to more
than SIG, 100000 annually, and at the rate of
their present increase will in few years foot
I'D $4,000, 900. The inhabitants Of the Fir-
ginian capital are thoroughly awake to the
importance of their chances, and are engaged
in real propagandiSm Of the principles
which they have so successfully put in prac-
tice. The statement which they made some
time since, through the committee Of their
Chamber Of Commerce, rs to their reason tor
developing manufactures, ought to be Sufil-
cient to Danish from the mind of the most
" ,inreconciled" Firginian any lingering
doubts he may have as to the dignity OF
those manufactures and their value TO the
Commonwealth, and to prove concluslVeiy
to him that Virginia will be for many years
manufacturing State.
No city in the South is better calculated TO
become a huge manufacturing centre than
Richmond. Her railway connections with
the West and South are unsurpassed; the
water power OF the james river is ample for
ten times the number Of establishments now
using il, and the cheap iron and cheap coal
ia the vicinity have already built up all ex-
tensiye iron manufacture there, which IS
gradually assuming mammoth proportions.
in addition to this, the spirit Of Richmond's
citizens is evidently so thoroughly in accord
with that of the age that it looks as II L lea
ven might proceed forth from the historic
CITY which shall leaveO the whole Nirglninn
loaf and produce lcw Virginia, with Il
bank circulation per head three times as great
as she ever possessed in the palmieS- days OF
slave power.

Excellent Constitutional Provisions. :.

r~ce,,ent Cons titutional Provisions.
Nex,t Tuesday the people OF ONO VIII
vote upon the question of ratily'ng Inc ne"
constitution framed last winter by the state
convention, and will, We suppose, ADOPT mat
;,s,rrmcnt We commend to the attention
and anproval of the committee appointed by
the Virginia Legislature to propose amend
men,s TO our Constitution the following pro.
visions of the new Constitution Of Ohio, as
stated by the Wheeling Intelhgcncer:
mo person interested in an unadjustcd
claim against, or q contract With, the State,
can hold a stat in the General Assembly,
.'No appropriation BILL with different items
Of appropriation, can embrace any item the
pavment OF which has not previously been
provided for by law" When such appro-
nriation bill has been introduced by The
nroper committee. no amendment adding
anv item thereto can be adopted, unless such
amendment receives mIjority of the Whole
Number of the members Of the House IN
which il is offered. On the tiUal passage OF
such a bill yca-and-nay" vote can be
had on each item. and any item falling to
receive a majority of the votes of all the
members elected, is stricken out without oe-
frating the bill. Appropriations other tnan
those which the general statutes require to
he made can only become law by a two
thirds yea -and.Day vote of all the members
of each house; nor can different appropria.
tionS of this class be united in the same bill.
In addition to all these safeguards the Gov
srnor can veto any one or more items 10 an
appropriation bill, leaving The balance there
of to stand. If human contrivance can pro-
tcct the treasury, these provisions ought 10
be- effective If only two-ti'ths Of the Gene
raj Assembly aud the Governor are honest
men the waste of the public money Will be
prevented.
In addition to the above, the members OF
the Legislature will be paid fixed salary in
stead of a per diem. This is doubtful le-
form. 1t has worked so badly in the case OF
Cougress that we do not hope for much from
its adoption in Ohio or elsewhere. But there
is one feature Of the new Ooio Constitution
that will eventually he adopted in every
State. as 1t has already been in several, We
believe that is, the one abolisbing the prac'
tice Of paying Off Gals by fees. The fees all
90 into the State treasury and all officials are
paid stated salaries.
