The student must understand the
following principles:
/. The Equator is an imaginary
line passing around the earth equi-dis-
tant from the poles, and at right an
giles with them.
2. The Latitude of place is its
distance north or south of the equa-
tor, measured on meridian--at the
equator the latitude is deg, at the
poles 90 deg.
3. The Meridian of any place IS a
great circle passing through the re-
NTH of a place, and the poles of the
earth.
A. The Longitude of a place is its
distance in degrees or in time, east or
west of a given place taken as start
ing point or first meridian; it is meas
ured on the equator or any parallel of
latitude.
Now as the circumference OF the
equator is known. and the distance of
10 of Long. at the equator is 695 miles
nearly, at the north or south pole, ie.,
at 900 from the equator the same runs
to point, hence we mnst consider the
space between two lines Of longitude,
as the space between two diverging
lines, extending from the north pole
or the point called 900 to the equator.
Now if the distance of the said diverg-
ing lines at the equator is 691a miles
at equi-distant between the equator
and pole, or at 45o the two lines will
diverge exactly one-half of the dis
lance at the equator, and so on in the
same proportion.
Therefore, let

A Cure For Small Pox.

A correspondent of the Stockton
(Cal.) Herald, gives the following, as
a sure cure for small pox, as that
loathsome disease is performing its
horrible work in many parts of the
State, we give place to the article,
which may be Of benefit to sufferers
Il herewith append receipt which
has been used to my knowledge, in
hundreds of cases. 1t will prevent or
cure the small pox, even though the
pittings are filling. When Jenner dis
covered COW pox in England the
world of science hurled an avalanche
Of fame on his head; but when the
most scientific school of medicine in
the world-that of Paris-published
this receipt as panacea for small pox,
it passed unheeded it is as unfailing
as fate, and conqucrs in every in
stance. 1t is harmless when taken by
we'll person. 1t will also cure scar
let fever. Here is the receipt as |
have used it and cured many children
of the scarlet fever; here it is as I
have used it to cure the small poX,
when learned physicians said the pa
tient must die:
'Sulphat of zinc, one grain; fox
glove, (digitalas,) one grain; half
teaspoonful of sugar; mix with two
teaspoonfuls of water"
When the above has been thorough
ly mixed, add four ounces of water.
Take a spoonful every hour. Either
disease will disappear in twelve hours.
For Child, smaller doses, according
age. If counties would compel physi-
clans to use this, there would be no
need of pest houses. If you value ad-
vice and experience, use this for that
terrible and dreaded disease.

The Pet Of the Farm.

From the sun.
Lives there a man with soul so dead
that he does not care for pets? If so,
we are sorry for him, whoever he may
be. Of ali places where pets seem ap-
propriate, the farm stands at the head
and of all animals to be petted the
cow should have first place. Gentle,
innocent, confding, and afectionate by
nature, she requires only the oppor-
tunity to show her appreciation of
kindness and attention from those
about her. In calfhood she is easily
taught not only to submit to handling
and and petting, but to desire, look
for, and expect it, and the desire grows
with her growth, and strengthens with
her strength, until the lack oft leaves
a want in her nature unsatisded.
There is a financial side to this ques-
ton. too. A cow treated in this way
is worth for all purposes and every
where more than the ordinary herd.
Remember this, you who have no care
for pets, and if only from a mercenry
motive, always treat COW as YOU
would lady

could with more eloquence than that of words
point you to her performance in those lines
Of development which have made Massachu-

people have just declared popular education
TO be among the most sacred duties and trusts
Of representative government. and are brave
ly executing that honorable decree. With
valuable and benefcent results We are rapidly
guaranteeing priceless ballot to all entitled
to 1t under the American theory Conspicuous
among the achievements of the advanced
thought that places Virginia in full alignment
with the highest American civilization is the
prompt justice with which she deals with an
element of population which has been the
fruitful source of passionate disputation.
Virginia has closed the long strife which Mr.
Jefferson foresaw and dreaded as he would
dread ''the fire bell at night, over the status
Of the colored man. His political equality is

facts. ana tenders the Coiored man the com
plete justice which his conduct as citizen
challenges and exacts. We are equally graf
flied with what we are doing for the colored
man, and what he is doing for himself
He vindicates himself and Justitcs us in
our determined efforts for his moral

ginia he is at last in the full
panopE of acknowledged citizenship Con
scious of the settlement in his favor OF the
question of his right to pursue the duties and
privileges of citizenship. his conduct com
mands the approval of even his severest
critics. Our treatment of the colored peo-
pie elevates them as citizens. and promotes
their productive capacity. They are indie
fnitely with us. and no substitute for their
labor, which is peculiarly fitted to the South
ern section of the Union, has vet been found.
Our purpose is to make the colored man feel
his Identification with us, and to stimulate in
him the feeling of contentment by wise and
generous care ard consideration. that there
may be prevented the calamity to the South
Of heavy emigration of the colored people.
We invoke inquiry as to the present status of
the colored people in Virginia with confidence
in the judgment of policy which guarantees
them all that American policy and Christian
civilization demand for them.
