THE Exodus will soon break out afresh
in, or FROM the South. The fall crops are
now about garnered, and the last picking
Of cotton and tobacco has passed. The
freedmen will soon be settled with for their
years labor, with more or less (habituully
less accurate adherence to the terms of
their contracts, and hundreds of them will
quietly slip away from the land Of their
birth to seek new homes and new ventures
in strange sections. Ii is true that the abb
sence of political excitement incident to
election campaigns in the Southern States
except Louisiana, will serve to remove all
immediate proyocation for this hegra but
il will be sufficiently strong and demOnstra-

in their unfair treatment and political
persecution of the blacks, their entire Sec

Mr.. CARLISLE, of Kentucky, has hitherto
enjoyed the reputation, rare among Demo
Gratis, of being moderate and conservative
statesman, not given to the use of public
power for partisan uses. But he has now
forfeited that claim to public respect and
confidence by openly advocating the admis-
sion of Utah Territory as State on the
ground that sit has sent an unbroken line
"of Democratic delegates to Congress ever
"since its organization in Territorial form"
This act, he claims, would serve as an offset
TO the admission of Colorado by the Repub-
licans in 1875. For bareiaced and unblush-
ing partisan design, this proposition and
the accompanying argument bears the palm,
Mr. CARLISLE can now enjoy the felicity
of being handcuffed, politically speaking,
to JOE BLACKBURN, the wiper or yoled up
with Mr.. SINGLETON, the bOastfully unre-
constructed rebel.

His manly word for freedom Sped
We came next day-that tongue Of fire
Said only: He who spake is dead
Dead while his voice was living yet
In echoes around the pillared dOmel
Dead while his blOtted page was wet
With themes ofStale and loves OF home,
Dead lie SO brave, so true. so wise,
While the mean millions yet now breathe.
How dccpens through this dread surprise,
The mystery and the awe OF Death!
Men of the North, your weak regret
Is wasted here-Rrise and puy
To freedom and 10 him your debt

ished every attention on the daughter.
On the following day the daughters
trunk and her four months old baby
were installed in uncle Geo. Washing
toms cabin. For one or two days every
thing was blissful. Our dusky belle
of an evening in her faultlcss attire
would walk the street, admired by all.
1t is said that bouquets were plentiful.
We draw the curtain for a few days, as
We don't know the particulars, but
suffice to say that some one found out
something, and told somebody, and the
consequence was that crowd called
upon Miss Louisa, and oh, terrible to
reredl, they accused her of being MAN.
Old Geo. Washington wept and swore,
the step-motler blushed and hid her
face, and the crowd took forcible pos
session of Louisa. A constable appear
ing, she was rescued from the mob and
placed in jail A guard was found
necessary to be placed around the Jail
to protect her from the indignant popu-
lace. Physicians were called in and, to
use an old dnigger's expression, "dey held
post mortim examination on de body"
and the verdict of the jury was "man
in woman's clothes" SheritfDuson being
in Washington, the prisoner was turned
over to him, and committed to the parish
Jail, on the charge of being suspicious
character. We understand the would
be-woman" acknowledges that he has
been wearing woman's clothes for a
number of years, and has acted as
1udys maid in several families in ad-
joining parishes.
Since writing the above we under
stand from Judge Morris, from the At
chafulaya river, that ''this damsel"
landed near Churchville few weeks
ago, and engaged herself as a cook to
some colored laborers on Mr.. w. c.
Gordon's plantation. Her chief occu-
patton was playing that little game
called "poker." Judge Morris says she
cleaned out the whole colored popula-
ton out of their stray nickels, by her
euticing ways and skill in the game.
She left for pastures pew, and landed
in Washington.
He is still in Jail and swears he will
die rather than put on the breeches. 9

during the winter months shipments

Suggestive Statistics.

An Indiana lady who has been keep
ing q book of college statistics for more
than twenty years, says that thirty-sev-
en- per cent. of girl graduates die within
two years after they take their diplomas.
This is startling statement and should
suggest to the managers Of our educa-
tional institutions revision Of the Or
binary course of study. Young ladies
graduate from seventeen to twenty-fve,a
period in life when the rate of mortality
should be at its lowest. 1t may almost
be said that no one should die at that
age, except those who have inherited Or
ganic diseases or are victims of accident.
The physical law teaches us that there is
no effect without q cause, and conse-
quently every death is the result of some
natural law, In old age people die
simply because the forces of nature are
exhausted. The machine has run down
and it stops. But under fifty, death
comes from some violation of the laws of
health, either on the part Of the person
thus prematurely cut down, or on the
part of ancestors. Consumption, heart
disease and scrofulous humors some
times do not develop until the approach
of maturity. But these inherited diseas-
es certainly cannot furnish any large
proportion of the number death gathers
in their early prime The idea that
thirty-seven Of each hundred girls who
graduate from our schools die within
two years, is frightful. If the state
ment be true, the conductors of our SEM
inaries for girls have much to answer
for No such mortality can possibly re-
suit except from gross violation of ma
lures laws.-S +. Call

Pleasant Reading for Ladies

1t is unfortunate that the writer of
the following should be unknown. How
ever, he-it must have been a man
gushes thus of woman: "Place her among
the flowers, foster her as tender plant,
and she is thing of fancy, hayward
ness and folly-annoyed by dewdrop,
fretted by the touch OF "a butterfy's wing,
ready to faint at the sound of a beetle
or the rafting of window pane at night,
and she is overpowered by the perfume
of a rosebud. But let real calamity
come, rouse her affections, enkindle the
fires of her heart, and mark her then
How strong is her heart! Place her in
in the heart of a batte-give her child,
bird; or anything to protect-and see
her, in relative instance, lifting her
white arms as q shield, as her own blood
crimsons her upturned forehead, praying
for her life to protect the helpless. Trans
plant her in the dark places CT the earth,
call forth her energies to action, and her
breath becomes a healing, her presence
blessing. She disputes, inch by inch,
the strides of stalking pestilence, when
man, the stron; and brave, pale and
affrighted, SIR nks away. Misfortune
daunts her no; she wears away life OF
silent endura' ,e, and goes forward with
less timidity han to her bridal. In
prosperity ST., is bud full of odors,
waiting but Or the winds of adversely
to scatter til IN abroad-pure gold, valu-
able, but l. tried in the furnace. In
short, won is miracle, a mystery,
the centre ON which radiates the charm
