Does Her Own Work.

Does she? What of it? Is it a dis
grace to her! Is she the less = true
woman, less worthy of respect than
she who sits in silks and satin, and
is vain Of fingers who nevre knew
labor :6Ne heard this sheer a few
DAYS AGO, and the tone in which it
was uttered betoken anarrow selfish;
igux~ mind, better fitted fc! any
l&'ce than Il country whose insti.
buttons rest in honorable labor as
>one OF the chief corner-stoncs. 1t
evinted a false idea Of the trrt basis
: of society, of true womanhood, Of
genuine nobility. 1t showed the de
testablc spirit of caste, of rank,
which a certain class are trying to
establish; caste whose sole founda-
ton is money, and so the meanest
kind of rank known to civilization.
Mind, manners, morals, all that enter
into Il grand character, are Of no ac-
count with these social snobs: posi-
ton III their stilted ranks is bought
viii, gold, and, each additional dol
Tar is another round in the ladder
by which elevation is gained.
In matter of fact, is it more dishon-
Orable for the merchants wife to do
her own work than for the merchant
to do his ! For her to look after her
house than for HIM to look after his
store. Or is Il woman for nothing on
ly to be "pleased with a rattle: tick
led with a straw" Itseemst to be the
hcighth of ambition in some circles
to be, or profess to be not only "abo-
We" work, but even ignorant of how
work is to he done; and if the table
is poorly spread, and if the house.
keeping is at skies and sevens, the
EtYp' receives maledictions without
stint, but the lady takes none ofthe
responsibility upon herself. She
looks into the kitchen! Sheknow how
bread SHOULD be made, or steak broi-
led! Sll11now when the flour is out
or the sugar in! Absurd '11elp"
may be bad enough, but what intc-
rest can the girl in the kitchen feel
in the household economy, if the la
dy in the parlor has none: II the
mistress neglects all domestic du-
ties, will the maid be thoroughly
conscientious? Will the husbands
business go on well if he neglects
it : And why should the wife pros
per under her lack of responsibility a.?

1.-THE Police Jury ordered ali
stores to be closed at IL o'clock on
Sunday, arid the ordinance meets
with the approval Of the merchants
throughout the parish. Some Of the
police jury favored the closing Of
stores for the entire day, believing
it would promote good morals, and
I've for the benefit Of both races. We
have always regarded the Sabbath
as sacred to Gods worship and to
innocent recreation. The Creator Of
the Universe did not work on the
seventh day, and certainly the crea-
lures OF his creation can suspend

The programme at this cosy theater is
one more attractive than usual. Man
ager Hyams understands how to please
his patrons. The performance opens
with the laughable act, ga Run for Lite.'
Miss Dora Dawson, VINO appeared as q
double.voiced vocalist and presented
male and female impersonations at the
same time, was something new and
novel. The classic statue clog by the
EtEeltine sisters is the best ever pro.
duced In that line. In their exercises
with Indian clubs the sisters show up
grace uIly, and the applause heaped
upon them is we'll earned. The feature
Of the evening, however, is Tommy Neil,
the Irish dialect vocalist, punster and
dancer.
Conway and Hicks, the champions of
the world in their Jig and reel dances,
will add to the attractions of the pro.
gramme this evening. The performance
closes with an interesting drama, the
"Black Hand" Some OF the finest
scenery ls presented during this
