three miles day. They have already
covered 1876 miles of the distance between

Mr.. Cameron, the new Governor OF
Virginia, shows in his message that he is
fully up to the liberal sentiment of the
age. He favors the repeal of the capita
ton tax on suffrage, which was well
understood in its passage to be aimed
more particularly at the colored voters.
He advocates the establishment of State
normal school for colored students, and
urges the need Of greatly improving the
common school system SO as to fit for the
responsibilities of citizenship the large
class Of voters upon whom its privileges
have recently been conferred. 1t has
been seen by statements published in
Southern journals, that the prosperity of
the South depends largely upon the labor
of the colored people, and that section
realizes if they are denied their rights
that they will emigrate to the States in
which they are permitted to exercise
them.

is this homemade furniture the cheap

as durable, or as easily kept in order.
1t has always been found to be an alb
selute impossibility to make something
out of nothing.
The woman who undertakes to make
h er own furniture will find that she viii
have to expend almost as much money
in buying material, plain furniture. would

lection, the expenditure Of time, pa
tience and nervous force which she
must put forth, is so great that
she commits a wrong to herself
and to those committed to her care, she
should study how best to conduct her
household operations, as to save time
extra labor, and worry. l say this at
the risk of being called lazy. It's con-
sidered smart in a man, to so plan his
work, expend his strength, and hus'
band his resources, as to make himself
as little unnecessary labor as possible.
