Silk Culture.

Editor Valley V5rginian, Stauaton Virginia:
VIII you allow me space in your col
umns to Call the attention OF your many
readers to the subject of silk culture, a
subject which at this time is engrossing
the minds of many Of our people and one
which | believe will soon become one
among the leading industries of our coun
try. 1t is already assuming the most gi-
gantic proportions as we Can see when 1t
is known that the United States already
ranks as the third nation on the Globe in
tue cultivation of silk. And yet this in
dustry is but in its infancy. There are
hundreds of intelligent and refined ladies
in Virginia who if they but knew how
easily and cheapy they could go into the
business, and how much they could i'm
prove their financial condition by spending
few summer months in raising cocoOns -
they would embrace the opportunity. In
stead of worrying the whole year as teach.
ers and seamstresses, they could be de-
voting few months to silk raising, make
more financially and with less confinement
than they do during the whole year. l
write this communication in the hope that
some at least of our cultured Virginia ladies'
will seek information on this subject, feel
ing assured that if properly understood
many of them would cheerfuliy engage in
it and find it remunerative. | have seen
silk culture fully tested under my own
observation by one of our cultured Virgin
ia ladies in my vicinity Mrs L. A. Conger
of Cross Keys Va..) who has made the
raising of fine silk cocoons success. Any
one desiring information on the subject
can obtain it by sending a self directed
envelope with stamp. She can give in.
structions by which any one can succeed
if they will follow her directions. She can
also supply those who wish to give this
business trial, with good fertile seed and
will eheerfuly answer all communications
on the subject. P. F. Earman.

IFor the YIRGINIAN.l

During a visit to Waynesboro, strolled
into the village graveyard. Here are those
sleeping, wtf5m | knew and loved in child
hood. How numerous have those green
mounds become.
= 1t was with deep regret that noticed
the neglected appearance of the place. A
spot which justly should be endeared to
all, who have loved ones buried there, is on
the contrary allowed to become grazing
lot for rambling stock. A substantial
fence encloses the ground, but gates, minus
latches etc, afford an easily entrance.
With little expense these evils could be
remedied. Can not the good people of
Waynesboro, who are endeared to the
writer by thousand ties. bestir them
selves and see that this sacred spot is no
longer reproach to them, or an unsightly
spectacle to A VISITOR.

Gen. ". d. Groner.

One of the most notable and meritorious
Republicans in Virginia is Gen. V. D..
Groner of Norfolk He is a gentleman of
integrity. fine ability, and great force OF
character. He is an ardent Republican,
but has always so demeaned himself as to
merit and receive the commentator of
the entire people among whom he resides.
Gen. Groner is now actively engaged in
developing the commercial advantages OF
Norfolk, and with his cotton compress
and steamboat lines is kept very busy.
His brilliant record as general in the Coz
II derate army shows him to be possessed
of the kind of dash and vim that generally
succeed in politics and after the fossils
now on the Virginia board are relegated
to oblivion, General Groner will be equal

waded around the ring in slosh. Mitchell
played the lodging game, and only once
got Sullivan down, while he was knocked
down dozen times or more. The fact of
draw when almost every zone expected

Hair of Southern yyome,,.

why do women have such poor hair now
adays!" very acute, observing man often
asks. when was young the girls used to
have hair they could sit down on, and SC
thick they hardly knew what to do with it.
Now few women seem to have hair to cover
their heads. The partings are broad and
coarse, the hair thin on the temples and be-
hind the ears, SO it is unpleasant to look at
the back of a woman's head and see the
comb marks left on the scant locks. Tho
Spanish women and creoles have splendid
hair. Why can't our northern women have
it?'
The briefest answer is that southern women
Ierspire. Tropic warmth produces free
flowing of all the fluids of the body, free
throwing off of all effete substance and free
nourishment of every gland and fiber. Con-
sequently we find in tropic women finely
grained skins, continually removed, dis
solved, and kept fresh by the delicate vapor
which invests the body and hair of marvellous
length and thickness Next to southern
types, the finest compilations and tints of
hair are found in Irish, Scotch ard German
women working in the fields, where moist
atmosphere, coarse food, and sunshine kindly
do more for generous beauty than hard CON
ditions can do against it.-Shirley Dare.

Napo1eon's Hats and Overcoats,

Of all the historical garments which crowd
the great museums of the world, none are
more famous than the gray overcoat and
chapeau of Napoleon I, celebrated in Ber-
angers and Raffet's poems, and painted by
scores of aspiring French artists. At rs-
cent search through the archives Of the times
of the great conqueror the tailors and hat
ter's account for some of these articles of
clothing has been found, and it appears thai
for each of his ''chapeaux castors" he paid
s12, while his ''r.dingotes CRISES" cost him
$50 apiece. The overcoats were always made
very wide, for, contrary to the custom Of the
officers of that period, Napoleon never took
off his epaulets. Boston Transcript.
