Outdoor Exercise for Girls.

Girls, as well as boys, should have their
outdoor pleasures. 1t is to be expected that
girls will be less rough in their play, but
they will obey the instincts of their differ
ent natures, and breathe the same air as theil
less gentle brothers. don't care how often
your daughter may be called hoydenish, oil
how often she may deserve the appellation
of " Tomboy;" she is developing health and
strength and general fitness for the duties
of mature life. If few idiots, who either
cannot understand the needs of childhood ol
are envious of young blood, choose to cal
names, they will not make her any less {
lady. The day when skeleton with pallic
cheek and feeble step was considered gen
teel is past. There are too many younl
graves filled by that Juggernaut of fashion
to make the style permanent.

Rev. Robert Collyer, of Chicago, says " l
think the average novel is making sad mis-
chief in the average mind in its pictures
of true love- 1t makes the tender glow
aud glamour which related natures feel when
they meet, true love. 1t is no such thing
it is true passion, that is all a blessed power
purely and rightly used, but no more true
love than those little hooks and tendrils we
see in June on shooting vine are the ripe
clusters of October. For true love grows
out of reverence, loyalty and courtesy, goot
service given and taken, dark days ane
bright days, sorrow and joy. 1t is the fin'
essence of all we are together, and all we do
True passion comes first, true love last. II

MANUFACTURE OF ARMS.

We have Of late noticed in our exchanges
frequent references to an effort being made
TO have all the arms used by the United
States purchased from private manufacture
ers instead Of having them made ut our
Government aImories. The Ajmy and Ndry
Journal of November 30 last contained CO.
piOus extracts from memorial in behalf Of
the Association of Aims Manufactures,
which it stated had been presented to Gen
ernl BURNSIDE, chairman of the joint COM
mittce on the reorganization of army. In
that memorial we noticed the statement
that the Springfield rife cost the Govern
ment in 1877 ut least Sll5 each. Believing
this to be a most preposterous statement,
we have taken the trouble TO inquire into
the matter. Our attention has been called

second Congress, second session, being q
statement from the Ordnance Depart
ment" relating to the manufacture Of
arms and dated January g. ISL In IL we
find that from 1e6l to 1865 the United
States contracted with private manufacture
ers in this country for I ,525,000 rifed mus
kets, at an average cost of SO each, to
which had TO be added 81 each for inspec-
tion, proof, Sc. making the cost of each
contract arm SCI. Under these contracts
the Government received only 6l3 i39 mus
kets, less than onc-half of those contracted
for. During the sane period there were
manufactured at the Springfield armory
each. This cost included the price of all
the labor, materials, direct supervision, in
spection, condemnation of defective parts,
6pcr cent. on plant, and also included the
depreciation in value for use Of tools, ma
chincry, buildings, &c. From the official
follows:
The total expenditures ut the Springfield
armOry from its establishment TO the 1st of
lands, buildings, iron and wooden fences, mill
dams, canals, sewers, shop fixtures, and new
| machinery. The amount charged to the de-
probation oi these items from 1861 to 1855
was Sl.5Gi, 500 II, or more than half of the
original value. The cost of contract arms, as
given shows that they cost an average Of $50
each. TO which Is to he added Il each for in
spection and proof making the cost OF con-
tract arms to the United States at S2l each, or
about 80 each more than the cost Of those
| made at the armory. As the United States
manufactured s0j,5J1 muskots during those
years, tho saving Of - on each makes q saving
to the United States of S1,2i9s33 during the
years lS6l-Gb, or n sum more than twice the
entire cost of the Springfield Armory since its
establishment.
We are inclined TO think, in view Of these
facts, that our readers will be more than
surprised to learn that the memorial TO the
| BURNSIDE Committee had the effect desired
by these private manufacturers, and that
the army bill contains the following provi-
SION
Sec. $50.
but hereafter ordnance aud ordnance
stores shall not be fabricated by the Govern.
ment.
Sec $50. That ordnance and ordnance stores
shall be provided by purchase, BY contract, or
| In open market. Officers of the Ordnance De-
partment shall be charged with making all
such purchases, except when otherwise spe-
cially directed by the Secretary Of War.
| Sec. go.
Ordnance and ordnance stores pro-
cured by contract or in open market shall be
required to pass the same inspection and proof
as has heretofore been required in the inspec.
| tOn of those fabricated ut the arseuals. :
The passage OF the bill will close our ar
mories and arscnals, in order that private
manufacturers may make money ont OF the
necessities of the Government. The words
ordnance and ordnance stores are tech
nical designation which includes arms and
! all kinds of war material.
