The New BAEY WAsHER.-The Pail
Mall Gazette is a firm believer in the
story that an invention is ready for
parents which acts as follows:
You simply insert the begrimed and
molasses- coated infant IN an oritice,
wnich can be made of any required
size by turning for ten minutes cog
wheel with electric attachments. The
child cli.les gently down an inclined
plane, highly polished; its lips are met
at its terminus by an India rubber
'uhe, from which the infant eau draw
llc,eal nou'isl,ment. While in this
compartment; which is lined with plate
glass mirrors, the pe:turbed spirit of
the infant is sootlfed by its frantic eff
forts 10 demolish its own image, refec.
ted in the glass, with nickel plated
combined teeth cutter, nail knife, rat
tie and tack hammer, which are thrust
into the bahy's hand by an automatic
monkey. Fatigued by its destructive
efo'ts, the infant falls asleep, while
the o, gan attachment plays softly the
melody Of Put me in my Little Bed"
Then it slips into the third compart-
meDt. Here the baby is washed An
other small tube administers dose Of
soothing syrup, and the infant glides
from the machine, its nails paired, its
hair combed, ready for the habiliments
rendered necessary by the fall of our
Grst paleuls.

THE COLFAX PRISONERS AGAIN.

We know we can never tire our
true peopleeof Rapides, in aIluding
too often to these unfortunate and
prosecuted gentlemen, who are
still incarcerated in the Parish
Prison of New Orleans, and who
have been shamefully neglected by
those who should have long moved
IN their behalf. Their cause, a just
and sacred one, was our cause and
the legal blows they dealt the law
breakers and negro mob Of Coliax,
though they proved ito be death
blows, were justly meIited, and
were for us of Rapides, our wives
and children, as much as for the
ends Of retributiye justice! The
result of the Colfax fight redounded
to our safety and restored order,
peace and quiet in Rapides, and
seould be remembered as such, and
above the gallant actors in that
contest should never be forgotten,
much less neglected by a generous
and fair dealing people. We again
repeat it, far more in shame, than
anger that the Collax boys, now in
the New Orleans Bastille, have
been too much neglected and not
the proper interest manifested in
their behalf or Of the cause they
had espoused
We must however, announce
which we do with pride and graft
tude, that the wrongs Of these gen.
tlemen have attracted the atten-
ton of no less parsonage, than
tue gallant and talented Senator
from Georgia, General Gordon, the
setting sun Of the fallen Con|edel;t-
cy. Poor Louisiana has no Repre-
sentatives in Congress to plead in
her behalf for her down trodden
sons, hence all honor to General
Gordon for taking steps looking to
the deliverance of our unhappy
captives. He has moved in the
matter and moved with q will aud
earnestness, and already has had
an interview with the President.
who in turn has promised to call
the special attention Of the Attor-
ney General to the matter. We
may now hope FOR a speedy and
prompt trial Of our long persecn-
ted citizens, and shortly we trust,
to sec them restored to their homes
and families.
