New ORLEANS, March 1.-The
Legislature adjourned last night sine
die.
Several plundering schemes were
pushed through before adjournment.
Very little done in the way of reform.
The Times says; "The body called
the General Assembly of Louisiana
terminated last night its career of un>
paralleled infamy. 1t would be q trite
phrase to say that the history OF modern
times furnishes no such example of
the gross abuse of power, Of such
fragrant immortality, corruption, and
idecency as have marked the career
of this disgraceful assemlage."
New ORLEANS, March 1.-When
the Senate adjourned last night Lieu,
tenant-Governor Piuchback, being
called upon for speech, said;
GENrLEMEN-I thank you for your
courtesy in requesting me to address
yoi, but regret that the implied com :
pliment to NE cannot, with any JUS
tice or honesty, be returned. This is
the worst Legislature, in my opinion,
hat ever assembled, and none can feel
more reioiced than | at the knowledge
that its session has terminated finally.
If the government cannot be carried
on without the scenes which hava been
enacted in the House of Representa-
tives, | reiterate what 1 said this
morning that the sooner the Repul!i-
can party goes down the better,

to saw wood for the family or even to
split it after it is sawed" The Sara

to do it. You should saw aud split

Here is story, not so very funny,
but one of real good feeling. Little
Alice, who was only about three years
old, and had never seen colored people,
was very much frightened by an old
black woman who came to the house
one day, and refused to 60 neal her,
running screaming away when Aunt
Cassie approached. Her mother talked
TO her about her conduct, telling her
that Aunt Cassie was good old woman
and would feel very bad if Alice did
not 60 and shake hands with her.
So Alice went, and the two were soon
good friends. The next day Alice and
her mother vent out walking, and
passing a tobacconist's shop where there
was figure of an Indian standing at
the door, the child stopped, and, going
up to the Indian, she put her little
hand into the outstretched palm of the
figure. saying, "He might feel bad,
mamma, if | didn't speak to him."

HIGH-HEELED Doors. There is
no torture a lady will not submit TO-
Tor the sake of being fashionable; and
there is no fashion which is so injurious
as the Immense heels which are consid.
cred Just at present so necessary to a
stylish bco'. But were the terrible
results of wearing such heels forcibiy
impressed upon women we believe
they surely would refuse to run such
risks. These heels produce crooked
feet and distorted limbs, which are an
outrage on anatomy and humanity,
and should render the authors of them
amenable to law. They throw the foot
forward, causing all the weight to rest
on the toes, and twisting the ankle out
ofall shape. They also are the princi,
pie source Of the corns and bunions
which every foot seems to be afflicted
with at the present day. 1t is mon,
strous abuse of the human limbs in
women, but when it comes TO taking
little girls and putting their feet into
high-heeled boots, thus jamming their
feet out Of shape, and throw their pill
able little legs out of their natural
ballast, and bending them into semi,
circles, it is cruel sacrifice to fashion.
Should this pernicious custom 90 on
few years, there will not be found q
perfect leg aaopg the female portion
of our people. Were it merely ques-
ton of looks, il might be passed by;
but they are but triaes compared with
the injury done to tho pelvis, spine
and chest, from the constrained and
stilted attitude which the abnormal ele-
walton of the heels induces. Fashion
is at best but a cruel and ignorant ty-
rant, and among all her caprices not
one is SO wanton violation of the laws
of health as this fashion of wearing high
heeled shoes. = Western Rural.
