Leap Year.

It is remarkable how the ladies' keep
leap-year here, says New Orleans cor
respondent The usual form is gone
through with on the streets as we'll as in
the parlor. On Saturday I attended the
matinee at the new Varieties Theatre, and
was much amused with the witty freaks
of the ladies. Several who had invited
gentlemen to accompany them stepped
up to the ticket Office, purchased tickets,
offered their arm to their company, and
seated them in their proper phases. The
performance over, the lady, the lady again
offered her arm, and, after promenade
along Canal Street, the usual courtesy
would be extended by the lady paying
the fare in the street cars. The other
evening, in one of the Baronne Street
cars, just about the time there is great
rush and the cars crowded, an elderly
gentleman entered the car. Every seat
was occupied, and, as he turned to leave
"a lady left her seat, and taking the
venerable gentleman by the arm, said, in
a low, sweet voice, "Pray, be seated, sir
take my place" AS he was about tc
decline, she said, "No, sir insist upon
your taking it. This is leap year, you
know" This little action caused many
compliment to pass from the lips of the
male passengers.

The HOME OF ALEXANDER HAM.
1LroN.-The last number Of Appleton's s
Journal contains q representation of
the homestead Hamilton Grange-of
Alexander Hamilton. Washington's
Secretary Of the Treasury, from
whose high sense of honor, and intel
lectual grasp the occupants of the
position have dwindled down to q
Boutwell,. One fact is worth noting
lin the career Of Hamilton. In the
history of the country the same pro-
pably will never be said Of any of
any of his successors. When he left
the Treasury, in 1855, he was a poor
man, and Immediately resumed the
practice Of his profession as o man OF
livelihood. Said Talleyrand to q
friend, after meering Hamilton at
this time, 81 have beheld one: of the

.NEwspAPERs.-Their value is by
no means appreciated, but the rapid
ity with which people are waking up
to their necessity and usefulness is
one of the significant signs of, the
times. Few families are now con-
tent with a single newspaper. The
thirst for knowledge is not easily sa-
tiated, and books, though uscful-yea,
absolutely necessary in their place,
fail to meet the demands of youth or
age. The village newspaper is eager
ly sought and it's contents as eagerly
devoured. Then comes the demand
for the county news. Next to the po-
litical como the literary and then the
scientific journals. Lastly, and above
all, come the moral and religious
journals. The variety is demanded
to satisfy the cravings of the active
mind.
Newspapers are also valuable to
material prosperity. They advertise
the village, county or locality. They
spead before the readers a map on
which may be traced character, de-
sign, progress. If stranger calls at
a hotel, he first inquiries for a village
newspaper if a friend comes from a
distance, the very next thing after a
family greeting, he inquiries for q
village or county newspaper, and you
feel discounted if you arc unable to
find late copy, and confounded if
you are compelled to say you do not
take it. The newspaper is just as
necessary to fit a man for his true
position'in life as food or raiment.,
Show US ragged, barefoot boy rath-
er than an ignorant one. His head
will cover his feet in after-life if he is
we'll supplied with newspapers. Show
us the child that is eager for news-
papers. He will make the man of
mark in after life if you crafty that
desire for knowledge. Other things
being equal it is a rule that never
fails. Give the children newspapers.

Lies where the red drops shine,
Let it not stain thy winters wane-

And she, whose loving hopes Of thee,
Take anchor but in heaven
Shall sorrow strew the silver hairs

Hopes cherished light, 60 down in
night?

Thou, who hast clasped the trembling

Beside the blushing altar,
And sealed the troth, but death can

The BANKRUPT sLAw.-Mr. Claw.
son, one Of the registers in bankrupt
cy for this State, gives the following
points in regard to the Bankrupt Act:
As doubts have have been express.
ed as to the extend Of the relief af-
forded by the Bankrupt Act of 1851,
and the several amendments thereto,
I deem it.proper to make the follow
ing statement: /. .lsG 1. fi
The amendment to the Act, approx
ed 10th June, 1872, allows to tho.
bankrupt all the property exempted
by the laws Of each State Of force in
1871, in addition to the $500 worth
of property allowed under the origi-
mol Act.
This gives to each bankrupt in this
State $4,000 worth of property. to
wit 81, 900 worth Of real estate and
1000 worth of personal estate. Af-
ter the bankrupt has been discharged,
this becomes his absolute, estate, to
dispose of rs he chooses, either by
sale, gift, devise or otnereWase.
1t is not necessary, as has been
supposed, that the estate Of the per-
son applying shall pay fifty per cent.
of all his debts; but if the estate
which comes to the hands Of the as
signeeis is sufficient to pay fifty per
cent of his individual debts, contract
ed since 1st January. exclusive of tho
debts contracted before that time, he
is entitled to o full discharge from all.
his debts. If it is not sufficient, still
he is discharged from all individual
debts contracted before that time,
and from all his security debts,
whether contracted before or after
that time, leaving nothing to be paid
but his individual debts contracted
after lst January, 1863.
