PRINTERS STRIKE.-Weh have received
no New Orleans papers for several days,
except the Republican of Tuesday. It
was q single sheet, and almost entirely
filled with standing advertisements.
The following from that PAPER explains
the cause:
In consequence of b disagreement be-
tween the printers and the newspapers
belonging to the Associated Press,
there was q general strike among the
typos all along the line yesterday.
As d result we were unable to- obtain
printers to work for us, and the Repubi-
can appears without its usual amount of
news, editorial, local. commercial, tele-
gTapA, etc.
In consequence of the very general
stagnation OF business, the city papers
have been compelled TO reduce the price
of composition to q point below what
the printers are willing to work for.
We shall, however, be able to publish a
sma -sized paper until we can obtain
sufficient assistance to resume in full.
We ask the forbearance of the public
during q temporary embarrassment.

The Rienzi Miss, Changers, some time

Liverpool direct, to be sold there for
their own account, and thus do away
with the charges of the g middle mem
ut Memphis or New Orleans. The Menu
phis Appeal, of the 18th, reports the re-
suit of this experiment in the receipt by
the Changers the week previous OF 5000
in gold from Liverpool, showing d se-
rioIls lO0s. TheSame listof cotton ship
ped to Memphis and sold there, would
have produced enough currency To buy
for the Changers of Rienzi more than
$1,000 in gold.

Places of amusement have been opened in
New York on Sunday, and have been largely
attended, probably more on account of the
novelty which entertainments on that day furn-
shed than because there is any public demand
for the innovation. The practice has been
attacked by public teachers and ministers. from
widely different standpoints, but there is one
line of argument which should reach all of those
who may be led to attend the theatre on
Sunday. 1t was presented by DR.. Potter, OF
Grace Church, who opposed the opening OF
places of amusement on Sunday as an injustice
to those who are employed in them, aud thus
lose their day OF rest as an injustice to those
whose right Of religious worShipis disturbed
finally, on the general ground that the confusion
of Sunday with the other days Of the week
would tend to destroy its value as a season Of
periodic rest. He said: Leaving out Of
view entirely any special sacred or religion,
conception of the day, it will not be denied
that it is an immense advantage both to body
and mind TO turn them off, sharply and com
| pletely, at stated intervals, from the track o
wonted occupation. But to do this, the occu
patton. the duties, the amusements of Sunda,
should not be those of the week. At the 700
of the Sunday qusstiOn lies the law of periodic
rest. Unless all history and all experience ar
false no nature, whether of man or beast
thrives without stated pauses between stretche
of effort. '-Ledger.

Mysteries of CourtShip and Marriage.

1t Is singular fact says Partisan writer,
that man generally requires different qualities
IN wife from those he admires in sweet
heart. While lover, he expected to see his
future wife neatly and stylishly dressed when
ever he chose to call, either morning or evening,
and the girl busted her little brain all day in
efforts to please his taste. If he left town for
few days, he sent letters full OF sweet nothings
that filled her soul with joy. Then came
delightful rambles in the moonlight and hours
spent In charming teteG teterS after the family
had retired, when the two saw no one but each
other in their world of love.
Alas that such bliss. must ever be dispeled.
Time brought preparations for the approaching
wedding; fcF the devoted couple imagined that
their happiness could never be complete until
the hymeneal knot was tied.
So the wedding and honeymoon were soon
over, and the parties settled into the matter of
fact part of life. The bride knows nothing OF
housekeeping. Since her schooldays she has
spent her time in studying the tastes OF her
lover, which certainly seemed to incline towards
dress and sentimentality.
Now, alas she discovers that his stomach
demands food of the best quality; and because
she knows not how to cater to his palate
his love seams to be waning. While he i,
vIinly trying to appease hunger with sour breaC
and burned steak, little does he appreciate the
sweet nonsense and honeyed words which useC
to be so satisfying to his sentimental nature
All, men are so unreasonable They expec
to find every quality of excellence in the woma
they marry, yet have not penetration sufficien
to choose the most worthy. To shine in society
to exhibit every feminine accomplishment, bot
at home and abroad, are duties which the
require in the woman they marry and WIN
have they to give in return? 1t seems imro.
} sble that these delicate attentions which chal
acterize the lover should be so Withdrawn b
r the husband.
: The other day when heard a neighbo
demanding his dinner in not the most pl,asar
. tone | thought, "C4n it be possible that h
ever played the ardent lover to that pale, deje,
ted woman, whom he calls his wife ?"
The lover who could scarcely tear himse
/, away from his sweetheart at midnight is th
same man who now leaves his wife to spQu
. her evenings as best she may, while he passt
: the hours in doubtful enjoyment
d All how soon men forget the solemn VOW
love and cherish till death And how mar
J. women regret that the charming deusious
d courtship were ever exchanged for the unple
e SAINT realities Of marriage.
