LOgan's Advice 10 Girls.

A woman's safeguard is to keep q
mans hands off her. If you need his
assistance in walking, take his arm in
stead Of him taking yours. Just tell
him in plain English to keep hands off.
He may not like it at first but he will
respect You in the future ten-fold
more. Men will be and do just what
the women allow them to do. Men
will not do to trust. Give man your
arm and you will find him very conf
Dental, and he will take a great many
privileges he would not take If he was
not permitted to do so. lie will give
your arm many loving squeezes and
sly twists that he could have no OPP
portupity Of doing, and the opportuni-
ty is just what he is after. A few
more words of advice and | close.
Keep your girls off the street except
when they have business, Teach them
it is unnecessary to 60 to the post
office every time they go ont. Your
girls can walk alone just as well as
your boys. Don't allow your girls, If
they must have q beau, to go with
boys much older than themselves. If
possible. instil into their very nature
that they are safer in their own hands
than they are in the hands Of any
man--prcachers not excepted.

The N. @. Democrat of the 4th inst
in speaking of the State Debt Ordi-
nance says;
It was expected that the Republican
vote would divide on this question,
but it appears that the Republicans
have cast almost solid vote against
the ordinance. Several parishes which
pollcd heavy Democratic majorities
appear to have cast large vote
against the ordinance.
It remains to be seen how the vote
in New Orleans has been cast, and
what the result will be in the parishes
yet to be heard from. A majority Of
these parishes are Republican, or were
represented in the constitutional con-
vention BY members opposed to the
debt.
We have not yet abandoned hope Of
the adoption OF the ordinance, which
would In onr opinion be grievous
calamity, but It must be regarded as
unfortunate that the business scom-
munity and other classes Of our citi-
Gems have, by their neglect Of duty in
failing TO vote On Tuesday, placed
this important question IN jeopardy.

Memphis has awakened in earnest
to the necessity Of adopting more
effective sanitary system. As first
and, in.the opinion Of her citizens,
most important step in this direction,
it has been resolved to sewer the city.
It is estimated that tax Of per cent.
will provide sufficient means to do
this, and the Governor OF Tennessee is
to be petitioned to call an extra ses-
sion Of the Legislature for the purpose
Of authorizing the tax levy. If the
lack Of sewerage is at the. bottom Of
the unhealthfnlness Of Memphis, as
the experts have pronounced, there is
no doubt that the action Of the citi-
zens is well considered The loss Of
trade this year as the result Of the ep-
idemic would pay for the proposed
sewerage several times over. That
the people Of Memphis propose to levy
upon themselves 4 tax Of . per cent
shows the Importance they attach to
the question Of improved drainage
