they wear are injurious to health!
They are fashionable. And what If
heavy skirts increase the already wide
spread prevalence of weak backs? They
too, are fashionable. Corsets are SUI
perhuous articles of dress for
those who despise weak backs
and headaches, and who turn
with lofty disdain from medi-
cine chests and continual dosings. But
they are likewise universally fashions
bic, and there seems to be a feeling
among the sex that if they were TO
abandon the corset and other unhealth-
full articles, which now are universally
worn, they would lose their power IN
the fashionable world. The very fact
that at best it is poor kingdom, and
one that does not reward, is not con-
sidered by them. When they shall, as
a sex, make the discovery, perhaps the
millennium will have come, but until
they reach higher standard than is
at present occupied by them, this Ply
Biological Society will have plenty of
good work to do.
The most hopeful sign to be noted is
the fact that all the ladies connected
with it are "society" people, and though
they are conservative in all other mat
tiers, they seem to be radical enough on
the subject of healthful dress. They
are pledged to change their own style
of costume, and when they go forth in
the pride of simplicity they will prove
their allegiance to their pet society. New
York ladies, who boast of two medical
colleges for women, lone of them free,)
have not yet organized dress-reform,
but they initiate Boston in having
women's clubs, educational and social,
and perhaps they consider that they
combine health topics with all Others,
since no woman can be either teach
er, writer, or thinker until she is first
sound in body, which condition begets
soundness of mind and purpose.

Plain English.

There is no good reason why an English-speak-
ing people should be doctored in Latin If we
should describe the properties of Hostetters
Stomach Bitters in the jargon of the profession,
not one reader in twenty would understand
what it is good for. We prefer to say in simple
words that it possesses strengthening regulat-
ing and purifying qualities or the highest order;
that the vegetable ingredients, of which it is
composed, are emnently wholesome and salrI-
tary, and that the stimulent which is combined
with them is the purest that can be manufac-
tured. We prescribe it, not in garbled Latin,
but in the good old mother tongue, as a remedy
for languor, debility, nervousness, indigestion,
liver complaint, fever and ague, constipation,
rheumatism and low spirits. and as a preven-
tive of every disease produced by foul air,
whether il stagnates in crowded work rooms, or
imperils life and health in swampy districts and
new clearings. So the masses say, and so they
have been saving for the last twenty years.

much in the dark; for be neither signs
his name, nor gives his post-ofice. and
therefore we cannot send him a copy of
the UNION AND AMERICAN. His erroris
so common with thoughtless people
who write to editors for information.
What cap more strikingly show the
mistaken ideas which we are liable to
Imbibe than for a Georgia planter,
where land is cheap, to write-'My
idea is to have permanent pasture for
my stock of one acre?" He asks chow
many cows the one acre viii pastures"
We do not blame him nor any farmer
for not understanding the value and
management of European grasses. The
best we can do is to beg the readers of
what we write to consider the facts as
presented. First, with less good farm
ing land than there is in Tennessee,
with an inferior climate, and with
moderate amount of labor, the farmers
of New York returned at the census of
1870 over two hundred and fifty million
dollars worth of crops made in oneyear.
In this estimate, the products of the
orchard, garden and dairy are included.
When last in New York we were on
farm that contained several hundred
acres in meadow on upland; the hay be-
ing baled and sent to Charleston and
Savannah for market. This land pays
good interest on a valuation of 5000
per acre; and one may see Northern
hay for sale in Atlanta where it meets
in competition hay from Tennessee.
When the large diaries of New York
send their butter and cheese to Eng
land for consumption, it is only one
form of exporting grass; and whether
their produce is consumed In theSouth-
ern States or Europe, they have no ad-
vantage over farmers in the South, as
we have access to the same markets
Now, in the industrial arts of ex-
tracing two hundred and fifty million
dollars worth of property out of the
soil every year, in New York, perennial
grasses are by far the most important
elements. They command the maximum
of British gold with the maximum of
American labor. Many believe that
cotton and tobacco do this; but where
will you find cotton or tobacco grow
ing State, or any five of them, that
have three hundred and fourteen mil
lion dollars laid up in savings banks
by over 100000 depositors, as Gov. Dix
in his last message to the Legislature
reports as being in the State of New
York? Give grass fair chance and it
will grow on from year to year indef-
nately without labor. Cotton and to-
bacco do no such thing for the planter.
This fact often sends his land down to
the bottom of the hill in price, as it
some times goes there IN mud, leaving
at once gullies, debts and disappoint-
ment, to compensate for a serious agri-
cultural mistake. Before dry weather
sets in early in June, our hay crop
should be grown, harvested and well
housed, and worth more than any cot
ton crop as single staple. Brother
Patrons, our main crops mature too
late in the year, when there is apt to be
a deficiency of moisture in the ground
to fill corn and cotton as is desirable.
plants that mature suf-
to gather into barns and cribs
before wheat harvest, have many ad-
vantages. These viii be duly noticed
in our columns hereafter.

WORTH CONSIDERING.

Mr.. Cowdon, of Memphis, Tenn, pro-
poses to abandon the attempt to keep
the Mississippi within bounds by
levees, and to let off the surplus water
through additional outlets into the
Gulf, bayous and lakes. Lower the
level of the water just above tide, as
has been more than once suggested in
the UNION AND AMERICAN, and we
may easily drain swamps by the million
acres and render expensive embank-
