HAMPERS MAGAZINE.
NOTICES OF THE PRESS.

The ever increasing circulation of flls ex-
eellent monthly proves its continued adal,-
tation to popular desires and needs. In
deed, when we think into hsw many homes
it penetrates every month, we must consider
it as one OF the educators as well as enter
tanners of the public mind, for its vast pop
ularity has been won by no appeal to stupid
preiudices OF depraved tastes.-B0sf0n Giohe.
The character which this magazine pas
sesses for variety, enterprise artistic wealth.
and literary culture that it has kept pace
with, if it has not led lie times, should cause
its conductors to regard it with justitiabIe
complaeency. 1t also entities them to u
great claim upon the public gratitade. Tho
MAGAZINE has done good and not evil all tho
days of its hfe.-Brookidn Etlie.

THE PUBLIC SCHooLs.-A new
school will he opened in the Eighth
Ward, near the Amite River, on Mon
day next, under the direction of Mrs.
j. b. Fielder, teacher. There has
been no free school in this section of
country for several years, we believe,
hence the people there will probably
rejoice at the opportunity afforded
them to give their children the rudi-
ments of an education.
The State Superintendent of Public
Education has sent letters to the
Presidents of the Parish and Town
Boards of Directors notifying them
that there will be no considerable
appOrtionment of the State school
fund made before September next,
and recommending that unless the
schools can be kept in operation
without the Boards becoming indebted
to the teachers for salaries, the same
be closed for the present. Under this
counsel, it is probable both parish
and town schools will be suspended
in the latter part of April or early
in Nav.

THIRD.TERM NONSENSE.

TIE evidence that Grant will seek the
nomination for third term becomes stronger
every day. The Radical press, SO far, are
very reticent on the subject, und Republicans
almost to unit denounce the idea as non-
sense, aud declare that in case he should
find fools enough to re-nominate him, he
would not get their vote. We understand
this kind of talk very well. They are honest
in what they say, but what Republicans are
left to-day, are strong partisans; if not, they
would not be Republicans after the terrible
reign Of corruption which that party has
visited on the country. AS partisans they
will find an excuse. as they have done before,
for supporting the party nominee, whether it
be Grant, or some other of his cousins in
corruption. There is no election immediate
ly pending IN this State, and Republicans
talk very independent. But wait until the
nominations are made, and the party buck.
ara's are sent out to crack the lash in the
ears of voters. Then we will see who ore
independent, and who are not. The cray
ing minions who ever have covered beneath
this lash, for lack of manliness to follow
their own judgment, we imagine will, at the
pop of the whip, jump into the traces, and
60 to pulling at the old rotten hulk of Re-
publcansm, with as much vigor as they
ever did; no matter what be their task.
whether it be to haul Grant back for the
third time to the White House, a lot oil
thieves to Congress, or rogues to our State
capital, and county seats. Actions, not
words, make the man. We will see how
they will act.
