Woman's Rights In Louisiana.

Oh the last day of the session of the
Louisiana Legislature, Hon. Richard Henry
Wilde, Democratic member from New Dr.
leans, presented the following: We, the wo-
men of Louisiana, petition your honorable
body to give US equality under the law. We
call to the attention of your honorable body
that the women pay half of the taxes Of the
State without representation, and ask this
small boon in acknowledgment ofour interest
in your success and our suferings in the con-
tests through which you have passed. The
petition is signed by Mrs. E. E. Norton, Mrs.
N. B. Wheeler, Mrs. Peter Conrad, Mrs. Nd.
P. Turner, and one thousand other ladies, all
of whom are owners of real estate in their
own right and pay taxes. The petition
brought General Mcmillan, Republican, to
the floor, who asked the earnest attention of
the House to this most vital issue of the day.
By unanimous consent the petition was re-
fsrred to the Judiciary Committee, who will
report back at the next session. Both politi.
cal parties are in favor Of bestowing suffrage
upon women, and, without doubt, at the next
session of the Legislature, a constitutional
amendment to that end will be adopted with.
out opposition. The matter will then 60 to
the people for adoption at the next election
in November, 1878.

COLUMBIA, S. c., May 8, 1877.
The Radical majority in the Senate still
persist in refusing to 60 into an election of
Chief Justice until the House admits Msckey
with the Charleston delegation. The House
committee are expected to report to-day or
tomorrow, but it is not believed that Mackey
will be admitted.
The action of the Radical majority of the
Senate, if further persisted in, will likely in
duce the House to withhold appropriation for
the pay of members.
The House committee are still considering
charges preferred against Justice Wright,
and may recommend bis removal by the Gov.
ernor or address of the General Assembly, to
avoid the delay and expense incident to i'm
peachment.
No appropriation bill has yet been recon-.

THE WHEAT CROP.

The wheat crop in this county is very prom
ising up to the present time. Should nothing
occur between now and harvest to blight the
crop, there will be an unusual yield. For the
past few days the weather has been quite
cool, with occasional rain, which has proved
a drawback to cotton plants, but not seriously
affecting other growing crops. The promise
of an abundant fruit crop continues good.

The Cincinnati papers are giving accounts
of the opening of the new Southern Railroad
from that city to the Kentucky river, where
there is said to be the highest railroad bridge
vet built 1t is 275 feet high, having three
spans the middle one 375 feet long, and the
others 300 each, the total length being 1925
feet There is bridge in Switzerland which
is 254 feet high, but with spans only l44 feet
long, and one at Varrugas, in the Andes, 252
feet high, with spans 125 feet long. The
piers of this Kentucky bridge, except those at
Brooklyn, are the largest in the country, the
stone work k being 13O by Al feet, and the base
of the iron work III by g. The frame is
all wrought iron and was built out from the
abutment toward the centre of each span.
The fastening of the junction points was ac-
complished in a novel way. One sunshiny
day having expanded the framework, the con-
Meeting bolts were fastened, and so much Sc
cured then second day Of sunshine having
given all the expansion the bridge was capa-
Bile of, the bolts were made fast permanently.
At the opening the other day the bridge was
subjected to seven severe tests and stood them
all admirably.

EDUCATION OF CANARIEs.-Mr. Wall,
a private bird ~fancieF. has great success In
their musical training. His mode of in
struction is as follows He placed the
canary in a room where it could not hear
the singing of other birds, suspended its
cage from the ceiling so that the bird would
see its reflection in a mirror, Beneath the
glass he places a musical box that was re-
gulated to play no other tune but "Home,
Sweet Home" Hearing no other sound but
this, and believing the music proceeded
from the bird it saw in the mirror, the
young canary o o began to catch the
notes, and finally accomplished what its
owner lad been laboring to attain, that
of singing the song perfectly.
