ALEXANDRIA INSTITUTE.

TIME FOURTH ANNUAL SESSION OF
J. the Alexandria Institute for young
ladies', will commence on the First Mon
day of September next The large m
crease of public patronage will enable the
Principal, Mrs. g. A. Garfield, to secure
the services of an able corps of teachers;
and to offer to parents the assurance that
their children can receive at home every
advantage Of education which the most
extensive schools of other States or Par.
ishes could afford them; and also AVOID
the dangers and temptations too often at
tendant on q prolonged absence from the
protecting and sanctifying Influences OF
home. Mrs. Caniield hopes that the pub
lie spirit of the people of Rapides will con-
tinue to support an Institution so essen
tial to the wellbeing and prosperity OF the
Parish, and which has been so long need
ed in our community.

A NATIONAL DIsdRAcE.--A feminine lob.
bJist, magnificent In figure, and dress Of
velvet aud ermine. Her face Ia familiar In
the halls, and on the east side OF the Senate,
which she prefers to the notorious reception
parlor, the dread OF all Informed Washing
ton people. This Woman'is the finest look
log OF all that haunt the place. Round, tall
figure, good features, rather full for pleading,
creamy complexion, dark crlsped hair, and
eyes with commanding stare are very at
tractiye, added the art Of toilet which never
shows her but In dress that repeats her own
colors OF black and white. The woman, or
one like her, was sent last year by the M
Coal and Iron Company 70 obtain their large
claim for coal furnished the Government
during the war. These women deserve TO
be paid freely for their interruptions opera
lions, for they are the most lndefatigable
lobbyists. Tho tired door-keeper declares
that he has refused the same woman nine
times In half day for a single Senator.
There is plenty OF refined lobbying which
goes on outside the Capitol, among women
who have presumptlye right to think well
OF themselves. One clever, pert young Wo-
man gained the suffrage OF one Congress
man BY regularly sending him a bouquet
every morning, the flowers from the Capitol
garden, procured through the order OF an
other NJ. C.-K1ehdHps.

PAVING NJ sTREET.-The M-street paving
project was again before the Committee on
the District In the House yesterday. Argu-
ments were heard on both sides Of the ques-
tlon, and additional lists containing the
names Of new petitioners as well as new
remonstrants were handed in. From the
papers before the committee II appears that
the owners of about one half OF the property
fronting on the street between Vermont and
New York avenues object to the improve
ment, while the balance are either warmly
In favor Of II or have expressed no opinion
on the subject. The case Is understood TO
be closed so far as hearing arguments or re-
celvlng papers Is concerned, and while no
indications OF Its probable action has been
furnished by the committee the impression
seems TO prevail that It does not exactly
favor the bill as passed by the Senate. II 10
claimed by those urging the passage Of the
bill that the paving Ia a necessary improve
ment, and that II can be done In the manner
proposed at less than one half what IL would
eOse a. uOuo " ~ IVI stiOu OOntractors, as
II will probably be ordered done BY the
Councils should the bill fall.
