GERMAN WIVES.

The culinary art forms a part Of the
education Of the women in Germany.
The well-to-do tradesman, like the me-
chanie, takes pride in seeing his daugh-
ters good hOssekeepers. To effect this
object, the girl, on leaving school, which
she does when about fourteen years of
age, goes through the ceremony Of con-
hrmation, and then is placed by her
parents with country gentleman, or
In a large family, where she remains
one or two years, filing what may also
be termed the post of servant, or doing
the work Of one. This is looked upon
as an apprenticeship to domestic econ
omy. She differs from a servant, how
ever, in this-she receives no wages on
the contrary, her parents often pay for
the care taken of her, as well as her
clothing. This is the first step in her
education as a hOusekeeper. She next
passes, on the same conditions, into the
kitchen OF a rich private family, or into
that of a hotel Of good repute. Here
she has control of the expenditures of
the servants employed in it, and assists
personally in the cooking, but is always
addressed as Miss, and is treated by the
family with Difference and eonsidera-
ton. Many daughters Of rich families
receive similar training, with this diff
ference, however, that they receive it in
a princely mansion or a royal residence.
There is a reigning Queen in Germany
at the present time who was trained in
this way. Consequently the women in
Germany are perfect models Of econ

Peter Tnbbs saw, but he was not quite
ready to enter into any sort of scheme
that might damage the reputation Of his
wife. Peter Tubbs was not at heart a
bad man. The subterfage through
which he had gained his wife was his
first and only deliberate DETECTION from
the path Of rectitude. and he would
never have been guilty OF this sin but
for the current idea that the civil law OF
marriage would legalize Il ia both spirit

had been visionary in his schemes and
unfortunate in his speculations. 1t had
never occurred to him that he was
wronging his wife hy keeping her in a
condition OF unpaid servitude, against
which his sense Of honor would have re-
volted had she not been bound TO him
by the chains Of wedlOck. II was his
misfortune. as well as hers, that he was
not thinker OF reasoner. Let not my
reader judge him too harshly. His
temptation 10 yield to the counsel Of a
well-kuOwn officer Of the law, who COM
mitied the criminal act of being acces-
sorry before the facts in giving legal adj
vice at all, was strong one. Besides,
it is aud ever has been humanity natural
to resent real or supposed injury; and
Peter Tubbs Imagined that because this
woman had served him faithfully, and
against all her better inclinations, for
the space Of fifteen years, lie had &C
quirel claims upon her that should hold

The widest excitement has prevailed
in our sister town of Pineville during
the early part OF the past week. occa-
stoned by the discovery of the most
damnable deed that has ever darkened
sincerely trust, for the good name of
our parish, will stand without parallel
in all future time. The circumstances
connected with, and which have con-
tributed i'll unearthing this most afro
cious and fendish crime, as far as we
have been able to learn are as follows:
Mr.. Morgan, who was formerly a mer
chant and resident of Pineville, but who
has recently moved to and is now living
on Bayou Rigolette, distance of about
two miles from the above named place,
had living with him an adopted daugh
ter, Annie Rendon by name, who was
almost thirteen years old he had living
with him also young mulatto who WAS
known as Champ Morgan, and who has
served one term in our Parish Prison,
and was generally considered bad
negro.
On Sunday morning last, Annie Rem
don left her home on Bayou Rigolette,
as report has it, for the purpose of hunt
ing berries or turkey eggs, and not
having returned home within reason
able time, search WAS commenced by
Mr.. Morgan and members Of his house
hold, us it was at first supposed that she
had got lost; the search proving una
vailing, a messenger was dispatched to
Pinevile for assistance to prosecute the
search, the first having been superseded
by another, which was too truthfully
verified on Tuesday evening last by the
discovery of the mangled and lifeless
remains of Annie Rendon in a pool of
water in the swamp, partially secreted
in clump of bushes-the worst fears OF
the searching party being confirmed,
the next question which presented itself
was, who was the perpetrator of this in
human act!
Suspicion at once directed itself
against Champ Morgan, who was I'M
mediately taken into custody. The
CorOner's investigation, which was held
on Wednesday morning, elected no fur
ther evidence against Champ except of
circumstantial nature. Upon an ex-
animation OF the body, it was seen that
in addition to six knife thIusts in the
neck, she had also received violent
blow across the forehead. At the con-
clusion of the inquest, the excitement OF
the citizens was at fever heat, and
threats of instant and summary ven
geance were publicly made, but the ar
rival of E. G.. Hunter, our District at
torney, upon the scene, who counselled
and entreated the exasperated people to
let the law take its course, had the effect
of but temporarily allaying the excite
ment; for on Thursday morning the
body of Champ Morgan could he dis

of the river, dangling from the end Of

of a cottonwood tree, Immediately on

New Orleans Pacific.

The telegraph brings information
that work has commenced in good
earnest on the y. 0. Pacific Railway,
beginning at Shreveport, where the
track will connect with that of the
Texas Pacific line. Dr. s. ID. Carpen-
ter and Hon. S. H. Mallory, have arrived
in Shreveport with Il corps OF twenty
bridge builders, and are making active
preparations for work. In an interview
with these gentlemen, the Shreveport
Standard learned that they have the
contract for building all the bridges on
the road from Shreveport to Lecompte,
d distance OF 140 miles, and that the rail
road company wants them to take the
contract for building the station houses,
of which there will be II, also 12 section
houses, cotton platforms, round
house, turn table, repair shop and :
water stations. 1t is proposed to locate
the repair shop in Shreveport. The
Ottumwa Iowa) Courier, gives the fol-
lowing brief sketch of Messrs. Carpen-
ter and Mallory, who have most favora-
bly, impressed the people of Shreveport.
The Courier says: DR.. S. d. Carpenter,
of this city, and the Hon. S. II. Mallory,
of Charlton, have formed a partnership,
to construct all the bridges and to do
other timber work for the New Orleans
and Pacific Railway in the State of
Louisiana. They have large contract
which it will take a year to complete.
This is q strong and in every way a
reliable firm, both members llavin. had
4 large experience in the business. DR..
Carpenter was one of the firm that
built the c. Is. & @. railroad from Of
tnmwa to the Missouri river, and the
North Missouri railroad from the State
line to this point. He has also built
roads in other States and Canada. Mr..
Mallory built all the bridges on the c.
=. & =. from here to the Missouri river.
He has taken an active management in
the construction of long lines of road in
Nebraska, Colorado and Tennessee, and
has always been successful He is pres
ident and principal owner of a bank at
Charlton, and also one in Creston, in
this State. General G NJ. Dodge, pres-
ident !of,the American improvement com
pany is fortunate in securing contractors
so responsible and efficient.

RoUGHING IT.-A correspondent of

'NotpiiiN' oiiCSBOlNiC IL
the Walla Walla UnioA gives the fol-
lowing account of some recent expert
ence of Mr.. a. Downing, an engineer
well known in this city:
"Mr. y. Downing, a typographical
assistant from the Headquarters De
partment of the Columbia, while en-
camped opposite to Camp Chelan on
the east bank of the Columbia river
on July 9th, about dusk, had the mis-
fortune to get adrift in Il small boat,
without oars or rudder, and was carried
by the swiftncss of the current beyond
help. He drifted all night from about
$50 p. NJ. of Saturday to daybrcak of
Sunday, making about 20 miles, when
the boat was drawn with great velocity
into the Rock Island Rapids, and i'm
mediately capsized. Downing seized
the gunwales of the boat as it was
drawn into the water, and when it
came up, bottom upwards, managed
to lay on her keel, his hand still grasp
ing the g%unwales. In this position he
drifted, or rather was tossed by the
turbulent rapids, for nearly two miles.
Finding himself getting benumbed
with the cold water, which every mo-
ment submerged him on account of
the boat being so frequently drawn
under by boiling eddics, he decided
being a good swimmer-to try to reach
the shore, which was not many yards
away. He left the boat, but was at
once drawn under by the eddies and
suction of the boat. 1t was only by
the most extraordinary efforts that he
succeeded in reaching the rocky shore.
The bluffs of rock at that point are
not less than LOO feet high, and rise
perpendicular from the water. In an
exhausted condition he was found 10y
Indians, who had seen him passing
through the rapids, but were unable
to aid him, having no canoe. Their
wickiup was in Il canyon, close by the
rapids, and there they silently led
Downing. Food was prepared, and
his clothes dried in the sun, and with
rest and nourishment he became HIM
self again. After recompensing the
Indians for their kindness, he struck
out on foot, intending to follow the
Columbia river down to Priests Rap
ids, where he hoped TO find some white
men,
The correspondent states that 10y
walking and getting assistance from
the Indians, going without food for
two days, suffering many hardships,
he finally arrived at Ritzville, await
ing the engineering party to which lie
belongs.
