Girls at Home
There nre two kinds of girls; one is the
kind thnt npnesirs best abroad the
girls that nrc good for parties, rides,
visits, uall, &e., and whose chief de-
light is in such things; the other is
uiifKiiui mat appears uesi iu, "':- to keep still and bo pretty. It Is eei
thc girls that are useful and 'cheerful ,,,. of thc 8triU)g0 problems of
m uHMiiiiuiB ......, ...v.-.w. " "the nlnetcentli century, tliat no rm-
all the nreclncts of home. They ditl'er
widely In character. One is often n
torment at home ; the other Is a bless
ing. One Is a moth, consuming every
thing about her; tho other N a sun
beam In spring life and gladness all
along her pathway.
ow it does not necearlly follow
that there shall be two classes of girls.
The right education will modify both
ti little, and unite their characters In
one. Ulrls are not made altogether
for home, any more than boys are.
Society would be of but little worth
without girls without women. The
ilrt plea-tire and duty of every woman
'.hould be a( home ; her next should
relate to the refinement and well be
ing of society. Hut In order that she
may benefit and adorn society, she
mut (lr-t know how to benefit and
adorn home. Hence girls', rich and
poor alike, should be early and well In
structed In all the duties and cares of
home. I'roin thecellnr to tho garret,
she should know what Is to be done.
From the ktieheii to the parlor she
should be complete nilstres". All the
interests of home should be as famil
iar to her ns household word". Nei
ther idleness, folly nor Indlllerence
should prevent her from engaging
heartily In nil tlie concerns of home
life. Tills will be to hernsehool more
valuable than the seminary or the
ladles' college.
It behooves mothers, therefore, to
feel that they are teachers of the first
dignity in position. Their daughters
will bo much what they make them.
The homo education will lay the true
foundation of character. It will fix
the true principles of life in the young
girl's mind. It will give her mi In
sight into domestic duties and teach
her that to be useful Is one great end
of life. Hook education can easily
follow a good home training ; but good
homo training Is not apt to follow (he
education of the schools. Girls well
taught at liume are the girls that ap
pear well everywhere. Give us the
well rend girls nnd wo shall havo no,
need of any other. They will make the would lie not only useless, but dange

A.sTitoxoMic'At.Oiisi:uvATonv. The
Truekee liepubllvun is informed that
Professor Davidson has determined
upon Pollard's Teak, Summit .Station,
as the proper place for the National
Observatory. "This peak Is located '
less than a half mile from Summit,
Station, which Is 7,012 feet above the
sea level, and the highest point of the
Central l'aellloltallroad. CastlelVak, ,
seven miles from the Summit, was
examined by l'rofesser Dnviilson with
the view of making It theobservatory,
but the atmosphere from that peak
was found to be too hazy, and the i
mountain itself too difficult of access
to ninke it a desirable place forastron-.
omlcal, barometrical and atmospheri
cal observations. Castle Peak has the
advantage In altitude, as it Is H, Till feet
above sea level, or 1,11(11 feet higher'
than Pollard's Peak. The latter, how
ever, Is easily accessible, being less
than n half a mile from the Cen
tral Paclllo Itallroad. The atinos-1
phere from Its summit Is remarkably j
clear, and for this latter reason It has
been selected by l'rofesser Davidson.
An appropriation of SoO.lHH) has been i
made by Congress for the erection of
the necessary buildings, purchase of
telescope nnd other necessary Instru
ments. The telescope to be used will
be tho second In szte of any in the
United States. Once established, the
observatory wil be n permanieiit fix
ture, nnd will receive nn nnniinl nppro
prlatioii from Congress of from i?A"i,000

that the conviction of the Ku-Klux

to pardon all of them would have no
more political significance than the
pardon of those convicted for violation
