EVIL PRACTICE OF BoYs.-A cores
pendent calls attention to the vicious
propensity of boys which prompts them
to hang on railway cars, in spite OF all
efforts to prevent them. Many boys
have been run over and killed; others
have been MANNED for life; others
more fortunate, have escaped destruct-
ton by the merest chance. Yet these
catastrophes seem TO have no effect
whatsoever. 1t was only Sunday that
a lad was run over and mangled by a
freight train while attempting to leap
upon car-in fact to perform a feat
which train hand would scarcely have
attempted. About the same hour troops
OF boys were swarming like bees around
the crowed trains coming in from the
the Canal street cemeteries. 1t seems
almost as it they coruted death, it
being impossible to restrain them from
jumping on the sides of the cars. This
occurs daily, and it is wonder that
more boys are not mashed to pieces.
1t is said that the only teacher is expert
ence, but in this instance the effects
Of the lesson cannot be observed.
Were it possible for mangled boy to
come to life again, he might in future
use more caution in boarding cars, or
perhaps might desist altogether from
the dangerous pratice it he were net
particularly energetic youth. There
appears to be little ground for hoping
that the evil will be abated.-[Picayune.

How AN Owls HEAD REyoLyEs.-A
| contributor to the American Naturalist,
who had read a funny story about an
OWLS wringing Oft his own neck by
looking at man who was walking
around him, tested the matter by
experiment. He obtained Il fine speci-
men and placed him OH top OF Il pole.
1T was not difficult" says the writer,
ito secure his attention, for lie never
diverted his gaze from me while | was
in his presence. began walking
rapidly round the post, a few feet
from it, keeping my eyes fixed on him
all the while. His body remained
motionless, but his head turned exactly
with my movements. When was half
way round his head was exactly behind.
Three quarters of Il circle were
completed, and still the same twist Of
the neck and the same stare followed
me. One circle, and no change. On

Watchful stare and steady turn Of the
head. On | went, three times round,
and began really to wonder why the
head did not drop off, when all at once
discovered what failed to notice
before. When | reached half way
round from the front, which was as far
us he could turn his head to follow my
movements with comfort, he Whisked it
back through the whole circle so
instaDtaneously and brought it facing
me again with such precision that
failed to detect the movement, although

reasons, or, in default of these reasons,
must give it in spite of themselves.
Many of the customs which prevail
among the French in the regulation of
family affairs might be profitubly
adopted on this side of the water.
With us fathers and mothers are too
busy in making money and managing
their homes to give that care and
attention to their daughters's welfare
which is, manfestly their due. They
are sent to school; that accomplished,
the responsibility of the parents seems
i'll too many cases to end, and young
girl is left to make acquaintance and
become intimate at houses of which her
elders know little or nothing. On the
other hand the French err in over
watchfulneSs and over care. AParlslan
lady once told me that when Il school
girl, she was one day walking out with
a room mate and teacher, when a
young man passed them quickly by
without recognition.
Why-wasn't that your brother Y
she said in surprise to the young lady
beside her.
ayes, but papa will never let him
speak to me in the street for fear some
body might see us who didn't know he
was my brother"
But certainly a wise surveillance over
the acquaintances which a young lady
forms, Il wise restriction in the places
she is allowed to visit, can not be too
strongly recommended. In the ma
.jority of cases she is too unsusplcious,
and has too little knowledge Of human
nature to judge wisely in such matters
for herself during the early years OF
her girlhood. Neither can some of the
customs which obtain in our country
be too strongly discountenanced. The
formation of friendships outside the
family approval, or the attending
concert or theatre with young men with
whom the parents are barely acquain
ted-if these and various other
proceedings were justly prohibited,
young girls would live to thank their
parents for the wise control which kept
them free from all influences tl'at
would assuredly have brushed the
bloom from their delicacy and furnished
their minds.

truth About Kansas.
[Baton Rouge Caritolian.l

Baton Rouge CaHitollan.
Mr.. John McQuade returned from hi:
trip to Kansas last Wednesday, where
as previously stated in these columns
of the darkey exodusters. He brought
some ten or twelve back with him
among them the darkey, John Walker
whose letter to Mr.. John Laycock We
published last week. Walker is one Of
the "colored boys" that is a fixture IL
this country. Mr.. McQuade says the
colored men are exceedingly anxious tc
return to Louisiana, and would do so
but the women drag them around by
the nose and so alarm them with out
rageous stories of bulldoZing and killing
in this section that they are Mortified al
the bare idea.
The Radical newspapers in that de.
lectable cline have afforded some
semblance of the truth of these reports
by publishing the most horrlfyine
exaggeration of the slightest piece of
lawlessness. He also states that the
negroes are in u more destitute condl-
ton than represented by the papers,
Very few have employment, and these
only Mt wages that barely keep soul and
body together. The greaterpart Of them
are lOating about, begging what few
Kansians will give them.
The negro preacher Palmer, who was
expelled from the pulpit at this place,
and went to Kansas, has been writing
back to some of the darkies in this
parish that the darkies are fourishing
in Kansas, and that they were building
him church. Mr.. McQuade prououn-
ces these statements false-that Palmer
has only managed to get possession OF
two dirty cabins near the river bank
achich he is renting to t,co ddrkies thai
landed IN Kansas auih some money al
seren dollars each!
Palmer evidently bought these cabins
with money he swindled the negroes out
of while preaching for them at this place
Of course now since he has become a
Kansas landlord. he wants all the dar-
kies to emigrate there.
In some instances the most horrible
suffering prevails among the darkies,
sickness of all kinds, and in few instan-
ces have they been relieved by the
though dragging out miserable eXis-
tence, they yet struggle in the faint
glimmer of hope which has for years
characterized their deluded heads that
the Northern Republicans would finally
come to their rescue safely ensconce
them in the cradle of luxurious idleness.
God help the poor creatures, for they
are utterly powerless to he! p themselves
or to see the error of their inclinations.
1t behooves our people, in the cause
of common charity, to extend the friend
Iy hand of charity. In more ways than
one can this be done. In the meantime,
let nothing left undone that will bring
these people to understand that we will
protect them in their rights of citizen
ship in this parish.
In short, ferret out all lawless
characters that attempt to interfere
with them. Let us have the name Of a
law abiding community, If ne hare to
constitute every decent man in the parish
q rigilante to bring criminals to summary
justice.

GLAD TO Go HoME.-J. McQuade, q
gentleman from Baton Rouge, La, a
large planter in that section, was in
West Kansas yesterday seeing about
getting some coiared families to return.
After making known his wants, he had
hundreds, of applicants who begged of
"Massa to take dem home" He stated
the country was getting thoroughly
ruined in that section for want OF help
and that the colored man were not only
homes. He has negotiated with some
forty families to return with him.

A FAvoRvBLE REPoRT.-A few days
ago the district attorney of New Or
leans filed an information against Hon
Mr.. Ogden, speaker OF the house of
representatives, for carrying concealed
weapons. 1t is said the speakers pis-
tol fell from his pocket and exploded
while the house was considering a bill
to provide more stringent penalties
against carrying concealed weapons

A few days ago, in the Legisture,
as the speak r arose to put some ques-
ton in relation punishment for carry
ing concealed weapons, loud report was
heard in his rear. No one was astonish-
ed. more than the speaker at the report.
The mystery has never been officially
explained. 1t is not possible that the
distinguished representative from New
Orleans occupying that prominent posi-
tion had any pistols in his pockets.

RAINFALLs SCIENTIFIC MEANS
General Daniel Ruggles of Virginia, at
the request of the senate committee on
agriculture, appeared before them on the
14th inst, and briefly explained his
method Of precipitatins rainfaIls by
scientitic.means. His method (for which
he has recently been granted q PATENT
is to send up to the cloud realm car
tridges of dynamite or similar explosive
materials in skeleton balloons and to
explode them either by time-fuse or by
magnetic electricity, through light metal
wires connecting the balloons with the
earth.
General RuggleS, as the result of many
years Of study and investigation Of this
subject, claim that the different mists
passing over arid regions, or localities
suffering from unusual drought, may
readily be consolidated into rainfalls by
conclusions and vibrations thus artiti-
clally produced, and he has therefore
suggested to the committee th2t congress
might provide small appropl iation fof
expenditure by the commissioner of
agriculture to test the practicability of
aiding the agricultural interests of the
country in this manner. The commit
tee listened to General Ruggles' state
ments with much interest and requested
him to prepare ali anplitied memorial
on tile subject, with view to their
taking it more fully into consideration
at an early day.

few evenings ago, waiting for her

in her bedroom and she was in the

drunk was trying to find the gate, she
went out, and sure enough IA drunken
man was there She helped him into
the parlor, as she bad been used to
doing, and placed him carefully on
the lounge. After hard struggle she
got his coat and vest off, and then came
to bis feet. She pulled at least five
minutes at the boots las she thought
they were), to get them OFF, but they
would not come. At length she felt up
about the ankles and found that the
man had shoes on-something that her
husband never wore. Striking a light
she discovered that she had tramp on
the lounge who was drunk through and
through. What followed Can be easily
