British Periodicals.

We call attention to the Leonard
Scott Publishing Company's republica.
ton of the British Periodicals, in an
other column. For many years past
this publishing house has given to the
country reprint of the leading British
Reviews and Magazines at great deal
cheaper rate than they cost in Great
Britain. The articles of the best Eng
llsli writer's are thus placed before the
American reader at cost no higher
than that of the ephemcral productions
which appear in the American Maya
zines. Tho enterprise has met with
deserved success, aud it is as common
now to see the English Reviews at the
American fireside as the worthless
trash which issues from the Northern
press. We call particular attention to
the terms of tho British Periodicals.
They are such as to place them within
the reach of all. We can guarantee
in the reception of them
For the past year we have not lost |

ALEXANDRIA,, DEC. oath, 1868.
We, the undersigned, citizens of the
Parish of Rapides, La, learn with much
regret, the disaster to the steamer St..
Nicholas, commanded by Captain j. c.
Dowty, which occurred on the morning
of December 23d, and rs an expression
OF our regard for him and his officers
and associates, we hereby tender him
our warm sympathy for the uufortu-
nate accident, resulting in the loss of
the said steamer. We have long
known Captain Dowty as an efficient,
able and energetic commander, and
while thus giving expression to our
sympathy, earnestly hope that we will
soon see him once more affoat and
ready to receive the almost unanimous
patronage Of this community. His loss
is the more deeply to be regretted at
this particular time, from the fact, that
the crops of this country for the past
two years have entirely failed, and now
that prosperity is beginning to revive,
deeply regret that Captain Dowty
should thus be prevented from rcaping
the reward so justly due his energy and
ability as commander.

The ORIGINATOR OF CHAMPAGxE.-Not-

above the vine-clad banks of the Marpe.
Here is IN ancient monastery, in which
lived joyous monk, Dom Perignon BY
name, who one hundred and fifty years ago
gave the world the invention of champagne.
On account Of bis many virtues, in which
an accurate taste and clear head we're
consPicaoss, he took charge of the broad
sunny vineyards Of the abbey, and had the
control OF the cellars OF the establishment.
Even rs . blind old man. his taste distin.
guished between different kinds Of grapere,
and, according to an old chronicle, 10
would give wise instructions concerning
them, saying "thst the wine of one grapo
must DO married to tho wine of another

THE MENARD CASE,

NOW that a negro has at last been
declared elected to the Congress of the
| United States, it seems that his ad,nis-
sion to the same floor with Ashley and
Bingham and Schenck, and the other
lights of immaculate Radicalism, is a
very different question altogether
The declaration that Menard was ell
ected to Congress, after having receiv-
ed not single vote in the original dis
trict Of Col. Mann, was itself an out
rage, but an outrage which would
never have revoltcd the stomachs of
tho Radicals if the Congressman elect
l,ad been white arpet-bagger of n
Few weeks residence. If he had been
a white man he would have been sworn
In the first day of the session. But it
has not been contemplated by the Rad
icals to admit n colored member thus
early and willie there are SO many hun
CRY white Radicals to be fed at the
public crib. 1t has been given out
that it would injure the party to admit
coiored men to Congress, and the Rad
icals have managed to keep down the
aspirations of such colored men as may
have deemed themselves competent
to fill such an exalted position. But
Menard could not be kept down, and
now that he has been unexpectedly
declared elected, it is very serious
and complicated question to know
what to do with him.
Promptly on the assembling of Con-
gress Menard presented himself and
walked upon the floor of the House
OF Representatives as if he had as much
right there as Schenck, or Ashley or
anybody else. He himself gives a very
1iscouraging account of his reception |
~ his pretended friends. He COM
plains in the first place that Warmoth

AVE entitled him to claim admission
o the privileges of the House. In the
'eA' Pl@ce nc complains that Sypher
md the other Louisiana carpet-baggers
ave him the cold shoulder and made
convenient to get out OF tho way
whenever he came about them. Again.

as an awkward one, and that he felt
uncomfortable as to withdraw in a
cry short time after he entered the

1t is very evident that the Radicals i
ltend to bubble on the question of
enard's admission until the arrival of
