Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly Fol
July.

Camping Out' is an attractive subject in
this weather, whether you try the expert
ment yourself OF visit more heroic friends
who tell you that it revives Paradise. w.
P. Stephens article in tho popular
Monthly" with its breezy pictures, GER
tainly tempts one to try it. Liszt, the
great pianist and composer, is so widely
known that this sketch of him comes in
very aptly as an introduction to the arti-
Gle by DR.. Pearce on 'Modcrn Music
Schools" full Of notes of the past and sug-
gestions for the present. "a Turkish Din
ner on the Nile" is a pleasant travellers
sketch. In "Old Wells" w. E. McCann
discourseth like an olden essayist on the
charms of pure water, though he censurcs
poets for preferring wine and ale. "a
Tour Through Normandy" is one of the
home like bits of travel just suited to the
season. Ricaurte, a South American hero,
finds a fitting niche. "Higher Education
in Indiana" very interesting account of
four great institutions in that State, shows
that it ranks high indeed in its University
life. Ernest Ingersoll takes us to the
"Headwaters of the James," and the
charming series of pictures tempts one to
their cool and breezy realities. "Weigh-
ing Machines" by Abbott, will give much
curious information to most readers. The
stories in the July number of Frank Les
lies Popular Monthly are like the articles
bright, breezy, just suited to reading in
the sultry days. Published by Mrs. Frank
Leslie, Nos. SO, IS and 81 Park Place, New
York City.

Colonel G. ". McCranie, Editor 0uachita
Telegraph:
DEAR SIR-In yesterdays issue OF our
daily Times there is an extract from your
pen upon the subject of miscegenation,
for which l, as mother, feel irresistibly
impelled to thank you. Yours is the first
voice, so far as have been able to see,
raised in condemnation Of this black
crime this fearful evil, this hydra-headed
monster that is polluting our fair land
from border to border, from center to cir
cumference. Oh, sir, have waited aud
listened for SO long, for some one brave
enough to speak out in denunciatiOn OF
this growing evil, which, if not abolished
or arrested, will in the not far distant fu-
ture, make Of this proud southland mon
grel nation. have two fair SONS, honor
able, upright and virtuous, and of whom
any mother might we'll be proud, and l
desire to keep them so; but, in the face of
such fearful temptations, such wantonncSs
and lewdness, as is exhibited by the col
ored females so boldly and audaciously
upon our streets, in outhouses and every
where, how is it possible for one poor
weak woman, although fired with love
and devotion for her children, to stem the
tide of evil to help them resist success
fully the temptations to which they are
exposed cannot do it, we cannot do
ii (for have no doubt there are many
other mothers as deeply interested as my
self,) without the strong arm Of the law
to aid us. Therefore, I beg that as you
have begun you will continue to agitate
this matter, until the press of the whole
State, nay the whole South, will join i'll
bitter denunciation of this widespread
eyil-an evil which is robbing the moth
} er, wives and daughters of honor and res
pect, and which will engulf the whole
! country in ruin, unless something can be
done to stop it. Again l thank you.
J honor the lofty courage and virtue which
| have inspired to attack this blight upon
the fair escutcheon Of our southland, and
fervently pray that success may attend
: your efforts to suppress it.

THE new jury law of Louisiana pro-
poses to exempt from jury duty the men,
bcrs of all the learned professions save
one, the press. The lawyers, doctors,
telegraph operators, and many others are
included in the list of exemptions, but
the names of tho editors, reporters, prin-
tcrs, prOof-readers, etc, must go into the
wheel and when drawn out they must
take their seats in the jury box. This IS

Intentionally or not, be long remembered

THE Shreveport Journal says a great
hue and cry is being raised by the press
of the State over the expensive judiciary
system, but an expensive Judiciary sys-
TEN is not all the people of that City have
cause to complain Of The Journal has
reference to the City government OF
Shreveport, whose Mayor and Comptroller
each receive $1,000 year. That paper
thinks il the Mayor were cut down to
half that amount, and the Comptroilers
salary placed at $500, u nice little sum
would be saved, which could he used to
the great benefit of the City, in the way
of aiding the Fire Department, the build
ing of public school, or the putting of
gas and electric lights in many dark pla-
ces. But then comes the bugaboo-their
city charter must first be amended before
this reform could be inaugurated. Here
in Alexandria the Mayor gets 1910 year,
and the Comptroller $75 n year. Quite =

-EDlToR Mcclure, of the Philadelphia
Times, in Il recent lecture called attention
to the singular fact that the republican
party based its strongest opposition to
the democratic party upon the plea that
the latter was inimical to the principle of
States rights, in refusing to the people of
territory the right to exclude slavery.
Yet when the republicans get control of
the government they became violent ad-
yocates of centralized government-ut-
terly disregardful of the rights of the
States.

In all the discussion Of the lien law

ays:
In repeating the lien law the legislature
is at best trying an experiment. 1t may
be that the step is a wise one. Certainly
the present system, by which the crop
makers ore compelled to supply them
selves at outrageous prices calls loudly
for remedy. But would it not be safer
to look for this remedy in such measures
as would tend to insure greater safety to
those who sell on credit and thereby ena-
bic them to sell cl,eaper' Tho country

bic margin, otherwise the inevitable bad
accounts will eat up not only all his pro-

MAYOR Carter Harrison has institu-
ted sort of boycott on small scale
against the Chicago newspapers. The
Board of Alderman of that city, it seems,
sold franchise to a street car company
for smaller sum than, in the opinion Of
some of the newspapers, should have been
obtained for it. When Mayor Harrison
announced his intention of ratifying the
franchise referred to, the newspapers who
expected his veto opened fire on him with
fusillade of cOmments uncomplimentary
in their nature. The irate mayor has ia
ken, what he no doubt thinks, q terrible
revenge. He has given strict orders that
no news from any of tine municipal de-
partments shall be furnished to any re-
porters. Mayor Harrison has had, in IL
general way, the reputation of being a
sensible man; it is a pity that he should
deliberately put himself in a position to
be laughed at. But it seems to be q IA
tality with mayors; there's no keeping
them from exhibitions of imbecility or
fOlly.-rNew Orleans States.
