Not Onitc Clear on "A Musical Term.

An Ohio journalist read in another
paper statement TO the effect that
Miss Kellogg has a larger repertoire
than any other living prima donna"
and he considered it his duty as o
champion of truth to sit down and
write an article on the subject, in which
he said 1--WE do not, of course, know
how Miss Kellogg was dressed in other
cities, but upon the occasion Of her last
performance here we are positively GER
tain that her repertoire did not seem
to extend out so far as either Nilsson
or PATHS. 1t may have been that her
oyerskirts were cut too narrow to per-
NIT Of its being gathered into such a
large lump behind, or it may have been
that it had been crushed down acct
detally; but the fact remains that both
of Miss Kellogg s rivals wore repertoires
of a much more extravagaut size--yery
much to their discredit, we think"

CURED in the town and dwelling near
the village of Hoosick Falls was used as
a pest-house. Seventyyears afterwards
the house (having been occupied all

over Working in Spring.

The Western Farmer talks III this
sensible way We have had II long
winter, but warm weather wall come
sometime. During the present month
we may have a succession of bright
warm days--So warm as to be uncom-
Portable. Many farmers will be little
behind hand in their work, and will
wish to make good use of all the time.
This is well, but word of caution may
not be uncalled for. For neither man
nor beast is violent or very severe labor
good after long season comparative
idleness. The young horse, perhaps
first put TO hard work this spring, after
standing almost entirely idle during the
winter, fed little grain perhaps, with
his long thick winter coat still covering
him fretting urder the unwonted rest
RANT, may seriously injure himself by
one days over work. And so the farm
er's boy coming from the sehool-room
may bring on sickness, or at least much
discomfort, by the over-eXertion of the
first days hard work on a warm spring
day.

Communication,

We have heard some complaint from
one or two Wards that they had not
been allotted the number Of delegates
to which they were entitled. The ba-
sis OF representation adopted by the
Central Committee was that each pre-
cinct should be entitled to one delegate
for every thirty votes, and one for ev-
cry fraction oser thirty. If in making
out the published list the allotment
to any precinct does not correspond
with this basis Of representation, it
will he corrected by the Committee Oh
Credentials appointed by the Convcn-
ton. IF the number assigned in the
published list to any precinct the 70
tiers of that precinct can send the num-
Der of delegates to which they think
they are entitled, and if they are emit
tied to :, larger number than tho pub.
lished list, the Committee on Creden'
tials will admit the additional mum.

Registration.

The Radicals continue to srowl be-
cause the white men take so much in-
terest in registration and because that
of the negroes is manifestly on the de-
cline. They have used the registration
and election laws for corrupt purposes
so long, that they cannot see how any
one can use them i'll any other WAY
| Because they cheated all around the
beard when they had them, they infer
| that the Liberals must of course cheat
now that the tables are turned. Cheat
| ing is a very good thing if it benefits
| the Radicals, bat very bad thing it it
benefits the Conservatives. Now even
if we were to cheat little and cleo!
onr ticket, it would only be paying the
Radicals back in their own coin, and
would only be an attempt to get even
with them. They used to laugh at Ii:
when we threatened to give them
some day, dose Of their own medi.
eine.
But we do not propose to initiate {
J bad example. We have now the en-
ginery of the election, which the Radi
Gals constructed for their own use, ant
: find that there is no use of using it cor
: ruptly that an honest use of it will &C
complish our purposes perfectly an
. lead us to victory. Let the Radicals

the file they forged for orr gums.
In the meantime we call upon a

The District Nominations.

The Fusion convention OF the 9th
Judicial District, which met at Nat
cnitoches on the Oath ult., unani-
mously nominated VIM. A. Seay, Esq,
of this parish as candidate for the
Office Of Judge, and Mo. Cunningham,
ESQ, If Natchitoches, for that OF
District Attorney, The people will
cordially endorse these nominations
and ratify them at the polls by an
overwhelming majority in November.
Mr.. seay is lawyer of large eSpe-
rience at the bar, of profound schol'
arship, and high character, and Will
discharge the duties OF his Office with
commanding ability. Mr.. Cunning
ham is one of the most promising
young lawyers in this section OF the
State, possessing qualifications OF a
high order, and will make a most
efficient officer.
1t is beginning to be time that a
change was made in these offices IN
this district, as well as III almost eve,
~ other district in the State. 1t Is
generally admitted that a suitol
wculd stand a better chance Of get
ting Justice by casting lots with the
opposite party, than by going to law
before the mass Of stupidity that has
graced the bench in this district.
The consequence is that the people
have long since come to the conclu-
sion that it is better TO throw away
their rights than to expend money
in trying to assert them before the
judicial tribunals as row constituted.
There has been for four years past
perfect mockery Of justice under
Radical rule in Louisiana from the
Supreme Court down to the Justices
of the Peace.
The people know these things and
intend to take the matter into their
own hands. They intend to have
competent judges if TREY have to
take the machinery by which they
are made out of the hands OF The pol
iticians. Political nominations are
very good as the means Of settling
the claims OF different asrirants in
the same political organization, SC
that a united front may be opposed
to imbecility and 4cssYuptiop, which
generally know no divisions. But.
in the end, the people control these
things. Judicious nominations TO,
Judicial Offices will always command
the votes of, the intelligent men Of
all parties.

PARISH CONVENTION. - Again we
urge upon all men, who support the
Fusion State tiehat, to take part in the
primary meetings which are to be held
at The different precincts next Satur-
day, for the purlmse of sending dele
gates to the Parish Convention which
meets on the 18th inst. 1t is the most
important Convention that has been
hold in Rapidcs for many year. It is
generally conceded, even among che
Radicals, that the whole Fnsion Parish
ticket will be elected. The men elect
ed should reflect honor upon Parish
which has suffered too bong from cor
rnp;iop and incompetency. The Sen
ator and Representatives should be
men who know how to make laws aud
who eau represent the general interests
of the Parish. The Parish officers
should be capable of doing something
else besides sitting around the Court
devouring tho substance of those who
are so unfortunate as to get entangled
in tho meshes of the law.
Such men can be nominated only by
sending proper delegates from the DIFF
ferent precincts on Saturday next
Let no one therefore fail to attend, les
the interests of the party may be ieo
parded by falling into improper

Household Training.

- !,
Halls Jenrnal Of Health says:
Training girls for household dnties
ought to he considered as necessary as
instruction in writing and arithmetic,
andquite as universal. We are in our
house more than half Of our existence,
and it is the household surroundings
whici, affect more largely the happi-
ness OF misery Of domestic life. If the
wife knows how to keep house, if size
understands how to set table If she
has learned how things ought to he
cooked, how beds should be made,
how carpets should be swept, how fur
niturc should be dusted, how the
CLOTHES should be repaired and turned
ard altered, and renovated; if she
knows how purchases can he made to
the best advantage, and understands
the layisg in Of provisions, how to
make them 60 farthest and last lon
gest; If she appreciates the importance
of system, ORDER, tidiness, and tic
quiet management Of children and ser
wants, then she knows how to make
little heaven of home, hosr to Keep
her husband from tho clubhouse. tho
gaming table and the winc-cup, Such
q family will be trained to social res.
pectability, to business success, and t,
efficiency and usefulness in whatever
position may he allotted to them. It
is safe to'say that not one girl IN ten
in our large towns and cities anters
into married life who has learned to
bake loaf Of bread, to purchase u
roast, painting, to sweep carpet, DC
to cut and fit and make hee own dress.
How much the perfect knowledge OK
these things bears upon the thrift, tho
comfort and health of families may 10
conjectnred, bnt not calculated by
figures. 1t would be of unreasonable
advantage to make q beginning by at
faching kitchen TO every girls school
in the nation, and have lessons given
daily in tho preparation Of all the,er-
binary articles of food and drink for
the table, and how to purchase them
!
ir market to the best advantage, with
the result of large sasing of money,
an increase of comfort and higher
health in every family in the land. ~
ave think that boys also should be
trained for household duties. Not per.
haps in precisely the same way or to
the same extent as girls, but sufficient
" to make them wise advisers and
helpers Of their wives. No man who
never undertook to prepare three cons
Portable meals day, or to do family
washing, or to sweep and dust house,
or to mend and make clothing, has any
adequate conception Of the rase aud
labor these house hold matters involve.
Therefore, husbands are too often
careless in providing help, exacting in
their demands upon their wives. and.
worst of all, underestimate the value
of her services. If boys were trained
to housework sufficiently to appreciate
it's value, no man would ever say that
