HARPER's PERIODICALS.
+. HARPER's MAGAZINE.

No more delightful travels are printed in
the English language than appear perpetual
~ in Harper's Magazine. They are read with
equal interest and satisfaction by boys of
every age, from eighteen to eighty.
Its scientific papers, while sufficiently pro-
found to demand the attention of the learn
ed, are yet admirably adapted to the popu-
Lar understanding, and designed as much TO
difuse correct information concerning cur
rent scientific discovery as it could be if it
was the organ of the Society for the Diffu-
sion of Useful knowledge
The great design of Harper's is to give cor
rect information and rational amusement to
the great masses of people. There are few
intelligent American families in which Har-
per's Magazine would not be an appreciated
and highly welcome guest.
There is no monthly magazine that an in
telligent reading family can less afford to be
without. Many magazines are accumulated.
Harper's is edited. There is not cheaper
magazine published. There is not confess
edly more popular magazine in the world
Neic England Homestead.
The most popular in its scheme, the most
original of our magazines.-Natiost.

Louisiana politics do not present an
inviting field to the admirer of the
grand old Republican party, under
whose banner SO many brilliant vic
tories and arduous contests have been
won. To what an unhappy pass a
great political organization may be
brought by personalism, nepotism,
and trading, is best shown by look
at the political situation in New
Orleans. Gov. Warmoth, now in this
city, has had free talk with a Til
bane reporter and the colloquy, as
printed in another column, gives a
vivid idea of the state of things now
existing in New Orleans. Even max
ing due allowance for the preiudices
of the Governor, it must be seen that
the Custom House Ring in Louisiana
is one of brothers in law.-N. 7. Tri-
bune.
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1872-03-30

Certain Reformers declare that they
will not vote for Governor Warmoth
under any circumstances. This is the
same sort of men who refused to do
four years ago what they are now
very anxious to do, to wit accept of
the negro as citizen. If these Re-
formers were not such BOurbons they
would see that they are committing
the same folly which they committed
in 1868 and, if they live long enough,
they will repent as seriously then
their present mistake as they now re-
pent of their past folly. By acting
with Governor Warmoth they might
reform the Legislature, which is
stronger than the Governor, and thus
obtain the substance of victory if
they did not gain the name. The idea
that they can gain the support of the
colored people while rejecting all their
friends is about as absurd as attempt
ing to win the affections of child by
beating its parents.-St Register.

.HARPER'S BAZAAR.

Free from all political and seetarian discua,

struction, it is just the agreeable, eompan-
ionable, and interesting paper which every
mother and wife and sweetheart will require
every son, husband, and lover to bring home
with them every Saturday evening. Phila-

This paper at the outset occupied place
not filed by any American periodical and
won for itself deserved popularity. 1t is
really the only illustrated chronicler of fash
ions in the country. Its supplements alone
are worth the subscription price of the paper.
While fully maintaining its position as mir
ror of fashion, it also contains stories, poems,
brilliant essays, besides general and person
al gossip. The publishers appear to have
spared no labor or expense necessary to make
the Bazaar the most attractive journal that
can possibly be made.-Boston Saturday Ere

SHOPPING IN JAPAN.-The pleasures
of shopping in Japan are thus illustra-
ted in Scribner's Monthly: Sin bland
ness ofmanner the japanese merchant
cannot be surpassed. Seated on a
neat mat-covered floor, elevated say
two feet above the street level, his
heels for q chair and attired in a calico
gown with flowing sleeves, he salutes
his customer with a suasive voice,
"O-hi-a," which might be considered
synonymous with allow are youq" To
learn the price of an article you say
l-ko-rah, show much ~ Invariably
an exorbitaIit figure is named: which,
if You have been initiated by some
thoughtful friend, will be repealed
with feigned establishment. The
merchant at once responds, "How
much you giye?n One-half the price
asked will be responsible offer, by
way of compromise. A profound CON
sultation then takes place among the
several traders interested, all of whom,
by this time, will have emptied their
pipes and risen, some one of their
number meanwhile rapidly shuff1ing
on wires the little balls of calculat-
ing machine. If your offer is accepted
several mods and simultaneous
clapping of the hands signify assent.
1t rejected make no more than trif-
ing concession, for if by any chance
you are permitted to leave the store
without a bargain messenger will
probably be dispatched in hot pursuit,
saying " Can dol" A porter is at once
instructed to deliver the goods.

An unsuccessful attempt was made
by burglars Sunday night to break in
to the store of Mr. Joseph Gondran,
ON Mississippi street. Some nineteen
augur holes were bored in the front
doors and one of the large inside hooks
unfastened, but the bolts at the top of
the doors baffled the endeavors of the
thieves to burst them open. The ras-
Gals must have worked very quietly,
for nothing was known of their at
tempted robbery until Monday morn

AS far as we can learn there appears
to be a general dependency among
the planters, especially those along
Bayou Lafourche, in regard to the
prospects for this years crop. Much
OF the seed cane has rotted in the
ground, and that which was not in
lured is very backward in it's growth.
We much lament this state of affairs,
but hope that favorable weather and
the exercise of energy on the part OF
the planters will yet result in good
sugar crop.
