ssa- A. fearful kick-up has taken
place at Colfax, the Capital of
Grant. The residence of w. B.
Phillips, Parish Judge, was attack,
ed, a few nights since, by a crowd.
variously estimated from ten to sew
enty five, fred into and burned to
the ground. The Recorder, Mr..
White, was killed and burned in
the building. Such violence and
illegal acts are much to be deplor-
ed, and cause the people at large
to have heaped on them more and
more tyrannies. Colhoun n d
Phillips have gone to New Orleans,
and of course, will move the pow
ers that be to exercise the Ku Klux
law, the Civil Rights Bill and
every engine of Radicalism against
every white man and Democrat in
Grant. All sueh acts Of violence
should be frowned down by every
good man.

FACILITIES FOR CRIME.

One important fact, possibly new to
majority of the public, is brought
distinctly out by the interviewer,
namely: That Rosenzweig, and many
others like him, have means for white
washing soiled regulations committed
TO their care, as well as a sort of legal
bind for committing the remains OF
their bntchered victims to The grave
without the intervention of a coroper's
jury or the proper certificate of death
from natural causes.

RosENzwEIG INTERVIEWED.

Rosenzweig told Times reportre
sometime ago that he would attend to
on ordinary case for 5000; and he had
facilities for furnishing marriage and
burial certificates the same as Madam
+. Kestell and the others had. This
much he said in the belief that the re-
porter came in good faith to solicit his
services, but when he learned that he
was only a newspaper man in quest of
useful knowledge, he raved aud went
on like a maniac so that the reporter
was in fear of his life.

"Never mind" said Smith; "that's no

went into q convenient jewelers., and
Smith bought a very handsome lock-

Brown to be presented to his wife,
with the congratulations of neighbor
Smith. When the locket came to be
paid for the generous but absent
minded Smith had forgotten his

bilities of citizcns? Whatever hasty
prejudice may affirm, it seems to us
plain enough that every year supplies
additional force to every argument in
favor of compulsory education.
1t is we'll known that lazy, thriftless,
ignorant or intempcrate parents, in
great numbers, put, even upon their very
young children, the task of securing, by
beggary or by i'll paid work, a daily pit
tance for the advantage of their oppres
sors How numerous the class Of chill
dren thus deprived Of schooling may
be We do not exactly know; but at any
rate it is large enough to swell what are
styled the dangerous classes with fear
full rapdity Children having such
parents, and being subjected to such
wrongs, ought to be sought out by the
activity of the law The State cannot
afford to bring up an ignorant and per-
verse crowd of Juveniles to make war on
its peace and its security. Yet that is
what is being done, and will continue
to be done, until we have education
guaranteed as birthrieht to every
child in the community, old enough to
use and enjoy it.

The Duties of an English Lady's Maid.

the women Of rank in "OId England. ,"

writes. " We must, above all. be very
punctual, for fashionable people change
their dress at least five times a day dur
ing the season. We must have pol
ished manners, be no older than thirty
five years, and be always cheerful and
good tempered, although for weeks we
are kept without sleep until ! o'clock
IN the morning. practice which Is
equally injurious to the eyes and lungs.
We are expected to cut aud ft, and to
use the most approved machine, and to
dress hair for the morning, evening
and court costume, as we'll as for the
drive to iron well, to read, write and
cypher; to speak French and German,
and, if possible, to have travelled.
There is still another function of a
lady's maid, which is supposed to be
modern introduction, but which is in
fact merely a revival of an ancient Gus
tom. We must be able to paint in pas
tel, not, indeed, after nature, but upon
her. 10 beautify our mistresses we
must redden the checks, put antlmony
upon the eyelids, pastel upon the brows,
introduce belladonna into the ewes in
order to enlarge the pupils, paint blue
veins upon the temples, and use ninon
paint and pearl white upon the rest of
the skin. We must change the hair to
reddish brown by means of corrodipp
material, or of palma veccho,' which
is now used in preference for that pur-
pose; and we must be possessed of
great skill in applying all these ingre
dients, as their use is universal with
the old and young"

Education.
from the New Jersey Mcdaniel

IFrom the New Jersey Mechanic
Education in our country is prime
necessity. Our theory of Government
requires that, for its successful support,
the people shall know enough both to
govern themselves and to share in the
Joint government of one another. Re
publican institutions distribute among
the many what monarchy reserves to
the few. For this reason, Education
lies at the base of popular liberty. The
ignorant. vicious an degraded must be
ruled by force The enlightened, vir
tuous and upright classes voluntarily
maintain order Of themselves, and exact
1t of others.
Our public school system was cstab-
lished and is supported for the purpose
of securing to all American youth a fair
average knowledge Of the elementary
branches of instruction 1t aims t"
qualify the rich and poor alike for the
various ordinary eallings of everyday
life; and, as system, it has worked
we'll If not always perfect in opers
ton, still it bears the marks of having
been planned by about as much wisdom
as usually enters into human contriv,
4ances.
Of late, however, this system has
fallen short, precisely at the point
where its advantages are most wanted
1t lacks the power to benefit them who,
for various reasons, are growing up
without any education worthy of the
name Sensitive as Americans are to
everything which may be supposed to
interfere with personal liberty, stTli the
question will have to be met before long
Whether or no there should be a
Compulsory education Ought there
to be a law to enforce the rights Of
ignorant youths to receive the advan-
tages of some schooling?
We think there ought to be such a
law. Parents are, indeed, the natural
and legal guardians of their children.
But they are not exclusive owners of
their offsprings. They cannot do with
them IN all respects as they may please.
They cannot deny them food or shelter
They must take care of them. The
rights of the children, and the rights Of
the State, defended by righteous law.
The State not only guards the rights
of children to certain extent, but,
when the children have become grown.
then the State claims it right to use all
male adults. Accordingly, it enrolls
them its militia, or puts them in the
jury box. AS, then, the State does in
terfere with the domestic affairs of
households, and forbids unnatural cru
city to youth of tender years, why
should it not ward off aud prohibit that
style Of cruelty which enforces ignor-
ance upon those who have d natural
and social right to receive knowledge
Hardly can more grevious wrong be
done to young lads and young misses
than that which is done to many OF
them, by Withholding from their eyes
the light Of knowledge. A compulsory
education would remove that wrong.
Furthermore, as the State expects to
claim service of all its adult citizens, on
what ground can the State be denied
the privilege of preparing the rising
generation for the duties and RESPONSE

The abundant crop and the excellent
quality of wheat this season will find
ready market in Europe. In Prussia
aud France the grain crop will be en-
tirely too light to feed the people.
Nearly all the seed has perished.
England is generally compelled to
import for her own use, and will be
certainly obliged to do so this year,
while in Asia the crop is a total failure
and gaunt and famine invade the land
of the Medes aud Persians In wes>
tern Europe the crop prospects are
some better. In addition to our ability
to aid the suffering, the receipts of our
farmers will be swelled by good prices

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Sec. Fish has
received the following telegram from
Mr. Moran, charge d'affaires in London
dated London, Sunday morning, Jan 20 !:
"The German ambassador here has
been officially informed that the capitu-
lation Of all Paris, and the forts; and
an armistice of three weeks by land and
sea, was signed about ten O'Clock last
evening at Versailles, by Count Bis
marck and Jules Favre. The army III
Paris will remain prisoners of war III
the city, but it is not known whether
they will be disarmed or not. The de
tails have not been received. Count
Bernstein thinks it an important fact
that the armistice extends over the sea-
and that it should be made known as
widely as possible"
VERSAILLES, Jan. 27.-The capitulatio1
of Paris has been signed on the terms o
the surrender of the garrison and thu
summoning of a National Assembly.
Favre was in conference with Bis
marck until midnight. Bismarcl
carried his point. The capitulatio1
involves peace; the cession of Alsace
German Lorraine and part of the fleet
money indemnity to be guaranteed by
the municipalities a portion of the
German army to return home, and the
war to cease. 1t is necessary that some
territory be retained to secure the full
filment of the compact. The mobiles
are to be sent home, and the German
army to enter Paris.

COrns.

Hard corns are caused by too much
pressure of the shoe, or by it's being so
loose as to slide back and forth on the
spot where corn afterwards shows
itself Medical books record several
cases where hard corn has caused a
bleeding which no means could arrest,
and death ensued. Nothing harder
than the finger nail ought ever to be
allowed to touch corn, which can al
ways be cured or kept from causing in
convenience by simply bathing the
part in warm water for half an hour for
several days in succession; often a sim
gle bathing will accomplish the object
of so softening the parts adjacent the
actual corn that it CAM he picked out
with the finger nail, and the shoe can
be instantly worn without discomfort,
which an hour before gave pain; it may
return in week, or month or year,
but the same treatment will always
avail. PAIRING them causes them
to spread and take deeper root.
Soft corns are very troublesome, but
are sometimes removed by patiently
bathing or soaking them in strong
alum water night and morning. 1t is
so much better to know a safe and in
expensive way Of doing things, that it
is really worth while to teach these
methods to every child in the house
