BEAurY AND BRANs.-Men do not care for
brains in excess in women. They like SYM
pathetic intellect which can follow them, and

most phiIosophic among them would rather

problems without blushine, and despise re-
fieious obServances as useful only to weak
sor,ls. is quality ss unwomanly as a we'll

drawn to them, while all but high-class minds
are dwarfed and Inundated by their learning

man likes to feel in the presence OF q woman;
and because Of her superiority. But the oralrs
most useful to women. and most behttlng tner

in cc common m sense, in good judgment, and that
kind Of patient courage which enables them to

A Convention of Women in Germany

On the 17!h of this month, the women of
Germany are to hold a conference at Stutgard,
but not for the purpose OF discussing the ques-
tiol of suffrage. The points they intend to
discuss they have brought together in the fol-
lowing programme:
l. To find out the best ways anG means to
teach young mothers how best to regulate the
physical condition OF their children.
2. The establishment Of small museums CT
literature, art and industry. These museums
would not merely contaiD the best works of lit
erature and art especially adapted foi women,
but they would principally be kind Of schools
or academies. Places OF meetings, lectures,
and the like, in which topics, such as the edu-
cation of children and matters OF domestic in
terest, should be treated by competent wo-
men and men, if these can be prevailed upon
to assist III the movement. There would
also bo Sunday Schools for women and girls
OF all classes, savings banks, supply assocla-
tions, offices for those that wanted Places &c.
3. The commencement of reform Ill dress,
chiefly directed against the vaSaries OF fash
ion, and the best ways and means to carry
out this reform effectually. As basis for this
reform, the following points have been ac-
cepted:
a. Tat nothing be declared "old-fashioned"
which has once found itself useful and appro-
priate and becoming.
b. That nothing new be adopted unless it has
proved itself to be both to the purpose and all
swering the demands of good taste.
C. That all garments and objects of toilet
that nj g hurtful to health be put AVA.
d. To inquire whether large saving might
not be effected in things Of dress, so that the
expenses might be made more appropriate 10
the income.
4. The transformation of benevolent female
institutions into ''self-supporting and earning
female institutions"

live upon. But the best use they can make OF
IL and of the other food crops they will have
over. is to first put their animals in much bet
ter condition than they have been wont to enjoy
in this region, and keep them 30 during the
winter, and then procure others Of the most
profitable breeds and kinds for breeding, or
fattening for sale, and give ther attention
to stock raising in part. They will thus do
much better, for not only will they thus
begin what may become for them more pro-
fitabIe and secure branch Of farm product, than
the producing Of staple crops, and also leave
the strength and riches OF the land upon 1t, in
the shape of manure, but they will be sure OF
having the grain they need next spring to
make another crop Of cotton, for, If the grain
begin to fail, they can sell their extra stock,
while animals which have been kept fat oil
winter will begin work in tho spring strong
and hearty, and can work longer and better
than they could if they begin poor.
IF our planters and farmers will only make IL
their aim to make themselves self-dependent,
not only in corn and other provisions, but ID
everything they use and consume, which tney
can produce as cheap as they can buy, they
will soon become richer than ever. The great
advantage OF this is in the fact that such
course of farm work and economy Will ren,ier
fewer hands necessary to the same amount OF
profit in the appraisabe. value OF their pro-
ducts. The hands used in making the crops
of spring, summer and autumn, can feed and
care for the stock in winter, and will be all the
time proftably employed, while in simple corn
and cotton raising they are much of their time
idle, or kept in useless labors, waiting for the
time when the heaviest of the labors are to be
done in these two crops.
How much better to have your business so
divided and diversified that there shall always
be plenty to do, proftably, and that every
month shall give you crop which you can
either use OF dispose OF to the enriching your
self of your plantation, and thus grow itch at
home, constantly and uninterruptely.

TIE RATIONALE OF GIFT ENTERPRIsEs.-A
pleasant writer in Hours at Home, for October,
describes the interior rationale Of one of these
National Banks of Deposit, which he disguises
under the title Of the "Garroters' and Robbers
Grand Presentation Enterprise" which name
will fit almost any of the swindling concerns
which offer valuable prizes for trihing con.
sideration. and which are still, many Of them,
in fourishing condition, notwithstanding the
exposures which are continually being pub
lished in the newspapers.
These gift enterprise swindlers conduct their
business so as to be within the law, aud al-
though the attempt to punish them has ne
auently been made, 1t has never succeeded.
They have been arrested by the police authori-
ties, their places of business entered; their
mails consisting Of hundreds OF money let
ters, have been seized, yet in every instance
the rascals have escaped punishment, and IN
the end succeeded in compelling the author-
ties to restore all the property seized. The
reason is this-every ticket which they sell

From the New Orleans Picayunel
We are glad to say to our readers that the
prospects FOR the harvest IN both cane and cot
ton are good, and far better than we have had
in any past year Since the beginning Of the
war. Notwithstanding the storm, thero has
been little injury done tc the cane, and, though
in some cases it is not yielding as much per
acre as in past Years: it will, from the greater
quantity planted give us far more sugar
this year thin we have had since
the the tread Of hostile armies beat down
the peculiar and special product of
Louisiana. There has been much damage by
the worm in many places to cotton, and many
estimates of loss have been sent forward by
planters, making in some cases as much
as half the crop planted for or expected. In
the hull lands this loss may have been quite as
serious as stated; but the half-crop loss in the
alluvial lands will not materially diminish the
crop gathered. A planter in the swamp, CON-
planning to US of the worm a d it's havoc said
that he had already picked out bale to tho
acre, and would probably save half as much
more. We do not believe he could pick out
with freed hands another bale on this planta-
ton were there no worms.
This is assurcdly very encouraging; but still
more is the fact that we have made more corn
to the demand 1or consumption than ever be-
fore since the early settlement OF tho country,
when heavy shipments Of Western produce
we're unknown. We hear some talk Of shipping
this corn to New Orleans for sale by those who
think they have more than their animals can

The Anglican Church and the APP
preaching Ecumenical Council.

The usually well-informed Roman CORES
pondent of the Pail Mall Gazette announces on
good authority that the Gcumenical Council,
which by order of the Pope is to convene in
Rome III December, 1869, is to be opennot only
to the schismatic bishops OF the Eastern
Church, but to the bishops and dignitaries Of
the Church of England, and to those of its Off
shoot, the Protestant Episcopal Church Of the
United States. The New York Sun remarks:
AS the Roman Catholic Church has invaria.
bly, denied the validity OF Anglican orders, the
concession made by it in this instance must
be considered an extraordinary one; and should
the English and American Bishops accept the
invitation Of the Holy Father, there will be
good reason to believe that all important step
has been taken toward the establishment OF
that intercommunion of churches which many
earnest and liberal Christians have long been
desiring. The assembly would be, IN many re-
spects. q remarkable one. 1t is moro than
three centuries since the Council of Trent, the
last General Council, was dissolved, and con-
siderably more than four centuries since East
ern ecleslastics have participated IN General
Council. Anglican bishops have never been
present at one. Whether they will do so next
year will of course depend upon a variety
Of circumstances, not the least important,
perhaps. being an invitation to attend. Opln-
ion and temperament will doubtless exert their
influence in individual cases, and while those
English and American Bishops who attach
Importance to their connection with the Church
Catholic will feel themselves impelled to attend
its great councils. those whose sympathies lean
toward the non-Episcopal Protestant bodies
will be inclined to remain at home. free In
terchauge of opinions on the great questions
which now divide Christendom, however, could
do no harm, and we are inclined to believe that
the Evangelical branch of The Anglican Church
would be pleased to have Their rehglous views
enunciated at the Council by such able men as
the Archbishop of York and the Bishop of
London, or Bishops Mcllvaine and Stevens,
who are res cectively among their leaders in
England and America. These ecclesiastics
will have a whole year to revive their knowledge
of Latin, in which language the debates will be
held, and the vexed questions of ritual, dis
cipline and doctrine can be discussed by them
under circumstances more favorable to the
establishment of truth and the overthrow OF
error than may occur again in centuries.
