BATON RoUGE, July 1873
To the Police Jaries, the Municipal authorities
and Friends Of the Dcqfaa Dumb in Louisi
ana:
The Trustees of the La. Institution for
the Education of the Deaf and Dumb, call
your attention to this unfortunate class.
and the provision made for them by the
State in this Institution. Ali the Deaf be-
tween the ages Of eight and twenty-five, of
sound physical and mental constitutions,
will he admitted and provided with in
struction, board, lodging, medicine and
medical attendance at the expense of the
Institution; and all those in such INDECENT
circumstances as shall appear by certifi-
cate of any member of the police jury of
the parish, or mayor of the city, where they
reside, to render such aid necessary, will
also be furnished with clothing and travel
ing expenses to the Institution. The In
stitution also affords mechanical depart
meut in which instruction is given in such
trades as may be best suited to render the
pupils self-sustaining citizens. The educa-
ton of the deaf is of peculiar Importance to
them and to the State; but from want OF
information, indulgence or other reasons on
the part of parents, less than half in the
State avail themselves of the privileges
Afforded. This is all wrong; hence the
Trustees earnestly call the attention of all
proper authorities to the duty of seeing
that all the deaf in their respective parishes
or cities, are informed of the privileges pro-
vided, and that in cases of INDECENT circum-
stances, means be provided for conveying
snch to this Institution. Proper provision
will be made for both white and colored.
In case of any deaf known at this lnsti-
tuition TO be in your city or parish, the
names are appended to this letter. Should
You know or learn of Others, their address
is earnestly desired.

Why KnmeH no Nnf Succeed

In one day we have been called on
tO record two elaborate appeals In be-
half of the industrial education Of
women. Miss Emily Faithful takes
up her testimony, and DIR. Louis
Buchner adds his. One grievance Of
the lady that I've are told that wO-
men cannot serve i'm haberdasher's
shops because they are too weak to
lift the bales of goods" This is hard
ly fair. The great trouble il that wO-
men do not like to be waited upon by
women, and shOpkeepers find il more
profitable to be served by men.
The man clerk is able to smile
and be courteous even when the
customer who has emptied his
shelf turns away without buying
a pin. The woman clerk is apt ito
give sauce even when the customer
purchases freely. Moreover, while
the man clerk IS studying how % sell
"big bill - the woman clerk preOc-
eupies herself in appra;sing her Gus
toner's laees and cloak. Further,
says Miss Fairchild, "nO skilled work
can he done without apprenticeship.
1t is not customary to apprentice
SiIlHf anu 80 u - tdhril TOT HIauAcfl
that they cannot 10 skilled work"
And why is it not customary to ap.
prentice girls ? Because the master
has not that fair equivalent with a
female that he has with male ap-
prentice. The girl may marry, aud
what then are the indentures worth g?
Concede that the law holds them still
binding--and We are not sure that il
requires so ardOus a thing Of a woman
as that she shall faithfully serve two
masters-what Is their practical val
ue? With this and some cOgnate
contingencies ever before them il i
no wonder that employers and wO-
men in this respect are little if any
better than men--Obiects to female
apprentices and the census reports
but 900 female apprentices in the Uni
ted States.

see others pummel our enemies
"a certain Quaker was riding
through the western country, and in
the course Of his travels he found
himself obliged tO pass over a road
which was abominahly bad. The
surface WAS rough ana treacder0us.
GnllieS had been filed up with old
logs, from which recent rains had
washed the covering OF earth, and at
many points the mud was deep and
clingy. The QuakeT's horse struggled
on, at times upon his knees on the
rough corduroy, and anon up to his

and his face frightened. Finally, the
sailor turned his head, and beheld the
traveller close behind him, and, recOg-
nizing the garb as denOting q man Of

The enormous beds in fashion i'm
the middle ages, in which not only
the whole family, bat favOrite dOmes-
tic animals, hunting dogs, eats, etc,
repOsed together, excite our livslieSt
astOnishment. In those days, the
aristjcrAcy did not find it undignified
to share their cOuches with friends or
guests who sought their hospitality.
II was, on the contrary, considered
mark uf sincere friendship. But it Is
now commonly believed that where
two 4. T-,'ns sleep together, one alb
stracls from the other some amount Of
vital force. This is especially the case
where old and yOnng persons share
the same bed. Besides, i'm a room
where there is no current of air, the
emanatiOns from the lungs and skin
of a sleeper poison the atmosphere for
a considerable distance. In the pub
lie wards OF great hospitals, never less
than two and half feet is allowed be-
tween each bed for this re4sOn. In
the sleeping apartments of royalty
and nobility single beds are every
where the rule, and nGwhere the ex-
ceptiOn. The emperor OF Germany
sleeps upon a narrow bed and R hard
mattress. The single bed covering is
a wAdded silk quilt. The emperor
and empress of Austria take their roy
al slumbers on similar beds, with the
same description Of cOverlet. OIe of
the p rincipal advantages Of these mar
row beds is that the mattresses are
more easily aired. Even the poorest
housewives in Germany recognize the
fact that bedding requires daily airing

A few days ago, Mr. Muhlbesch was

body properly laid out, and on yester-
day the funeral services took place
from his late residence. After the
customary services had been perform
and the sad relatives had taken their

was screwed down and the funeral
cOrtege moved slowly toward the quiet

the body was lowered into the grave

The women screamed and hasteued to-

were not slow in following them. In

trembled at hearing what he had
