through such extended personal Obser-
walton, to the many attractions and ad-
vantages the Piedmont region offers to
the immigrant and to the tourist. We
grew attached to its climate, and to the
grand scenery Of its mountains and
landscapes. 1t is worth a tourists trip
South to go upon "COllege Hip at
Lynchburg, and look upon the sunset Of
some fair summer evening. The Peaks
of Otter, the highest mountains south Of
the Potomac, will stand out boldly
limned against the western horizon be-
fore him, and no grander picture can be
seen in all the country than that given
by the sun as he slowly sinks to rest be-
tween their peaks. Rough and rugged
as Lynchburg is, owing to its being
built upon a steep river bluff, yet it has
its compensation to the traveller in the
beauty Of its picturesque surroundings,
and we commend its rare scenery to all
pleasure-lOving tourists. Lands are
cheap all through this region. The best
of farms can be bought for one-half the
prices asked prior to the war, and
though impoverished somewhat by
slavery, yet they readily respond to the
labOrs Of freemen, and no better country
can be found in which to make a true
home, one surrounded with all the lux
uries Of fine climate and fruit.

Another Memorial .

The following memorial was presented
in Senate and House June 18th, by Sen
atOr Terry and Speaker Randall:
To the Senate and House Of RepT esenta-
tires Of the United States IN Congress
assembled -
Whereas, The acknowledged errors,
discrepancies and incOmpleteness Of the
ninth census render il an unsatisfactory
and unreliable record of the population,
wealth, industry, and physical, mental
and moral condition OF the American
people, and
Whereas, The home, and woman as a
se-keeper, have no place in the re-
port, only the occupations called "gain-
fu" being noted and over twelve
millions Of American women being
overlooked as laborers or producers, or
left out in common with those pursuing
disreputable mplOyments, and not even
incidentally named as in any wise af-
fecting the causes Of increase or decrease
of population OF wealth, and
Whereas, Gross errors in enumerating
the births, ages, diseases and deaths Of
children, are the inevitable result of the
natural barriers in the way Of men as
collectors of social and vital statistics,
who frequently obtain information, in
the language of the report, from sta
theirs, nurses, servants, and unsympa-
thetic fellOw-bOarders," and
Whereas, There is obvious Justice and
propriety in the employment of intelli-
gent women To collect vital statistics
concerning women aud children; there
fore,
We pray your Honorable body in en-
acting a law providing for the taking Of
the tenth census, to make provision for
more careful enumeration of women
as laborers and producers; for a record
of the wages of men and women in all
occupations; for a record of causes of
pauperism, vagrancy, vice, crime, in
sanity, idiOcy, blindness, deformity and
disease; for the enumeration Of ali men
and women engaged in disreputable Oc-
cupatiOns; for full statistics concerning
all reformatory Institutions; and
We further pray that you will enact
such laws or amendments as may be
requisite to secure the employment of a
fair ratio of suitable women as collect
ors of the Centennial census.
