WOMAN SUFFRAGE LEAFLETS.

Miss FRANCES Ii. TURNER has an adj
mirable lecture on Queen Isabella,
which is at once vivid presentation of
an interesting historical parsonage and
a strong argument for woman suffrage.
HERE she is again! A young lady
stands first in the competition for the
six $500 scholarships at Cornell Uni
versity. What's the matter with tho
young men of this day and generation?
Boston Herald.
THE ordinance recently passed in
Chicago, providing for women inspectors
to look after workshops and tenements
where women are employed, and see
that sanitary measures are taken TO keep
the rooms in healthy condition, has
been complied with. Five ladies have
been appointed by Mayor Creiger.
Mrs. LILLE DEvEREUx BLAlSI, at the
recent annual meeting of the Pennsyl-
vania Woman's Suffrage Association,
told how ''Old Abe" the famous war
eagle, passed his time after retirement
! in laying eggs, to the establishment of
his keepers. She called out much mer-
riment by saying, in reference to the
American eagle, Gentlemen, your eagle
is henlm
In RUSSIA it has been discovered that
female medical students often develop
revolutionary political opinions, ''seuti-
ments unworthy of their SEX" in the
view of government, and the new minis
ter of public instruction announces set
of regulations for putting things in or
der. First, no medical degree is to be
conferred in Russia on a woman who has
made her studies abroad. This will do
away with the Russian women students
who now study at Berne and Zurich.
Secondly, 10 Russian woman is to be ad-
mjtted to medical degree emitting her
to practice publicly until she is forty
years cid. Until that age she may only
practice as nurse in hoSpitable and
charitable institutions

THE vANQuuiissttiEp MAN.

Who speaks Of freedoms joy to me
In accents brave.
All. let who will, or can, be free;
am slayel
No chains my limbs or body rret
With twist and twinge-
No dungeon walls all round me set,
And yet cringe;
Ibend, | bow, sneak, stink,
crawl and creep;
scarcely ever get wink
OF quiet sleep.
Above my breath dare not speak.
Upstairs / steal,
Fearful my shoes might chance to squeak.
Or door-hinge squeal--
You wonder why my manhood bows
Thus basely low
There's a new baby in the house
Now, do you know

IN W0MAN'S BEHALF.
WOMEN'S FRANCHISE.
Air: Yankee Doodle.

Air: Yankee Doodle.
The women surely should not vote,
Because they should not vote, sir;
The reason why they should not vote
Is because they should not vote, sir.
(Repeat for Chorus.)
They're good enough to make our bread,
To bake our cake and pie, sir.
But II they vote, they'll stir up Ned;
This right we do deny, sir.
To own farm or lots in town,
We do admit as facts, sir;
And when the assessor comes aroun'
They surely should be taxed, sir.
They're good enough to raise our boys,
To teach them what is right, sir;
But then the ladi should not vote,
Because they don't get tight, sir.
They're good enough to fill place
In Church, or State, or school, sir;
But as they do not shave their face
TO votes against The rule, sir.
NV II the ladies ever vote,
1t is not hard TO see, sir,
(And 1t would be pretty note)
We should not get our tea, sir.
Oh they arc coming into not,
So very, very briskly,
We fear il we should let them vote,
They'd rob US OF our whisky

The Bulldozing.

1t was most ridiculous to see at such
small concern as the municipal cleo
tiOn, to see large number Of Regulators
from the different parts of the parish to
come around the poll to bulldOze the
voters, and they have succeeded, We are
sorry to say, to bulldOze and intimidate
quite large number of voters, and have
thus turned the result Of the election, as
the intimidated parties have voted a.
gainst their free will. That class Of
voters should be qualified, as they are
dangerous. and cannot be depended upon
to maintain a good government.
There was no necessity for the Regu-
lartOrs who would have done much
better to be in their field working their
corn instead of being used as tools by
Others and for no purpose, for one ticket
at the town election was as good as the
other. But the Regulators seem to think
that the country belongs to them and
they will run it for there own. and
to suit themselves. This is very well
when such small matters as the town
council will be at stake, but when the
parish election comes and two OF the Re.
gulatOrs from this town will be candi-
dates for sheriff, and two or three from
BreauX Bridge. mind, all Regulators, and
perhaps as many for the other Offices,
We wonder how they will fix this little
matter, one side or faction will have to
bulldOze the other faction, and il this
don't succeed, as we doubt very much it
will, then they will have to cut their
own thrOats or burst the concern; or,
perhaps the candidates from this part of
the parish will not fight, but cOmprO-
mise and share the emOluments OF the
offices, and thus keep harmony in their
ranks. Oh. but We had forgotten the
candidates from above, what will they
say about this? Well, we presume as in
the past. The politician Regulators
from here will do the wire pulling" and
those of Brcaux Bridge will do the vOt-
ing and will he left in the "cOld" they
are used TO that, you know?
Well We guess this is enough for the
present, we will await results, and note
them as they come. but We anticipate
things in the next three
years, and perhaps much sooner.

A Terrible Misfortune.

II is a calamity Of the direct kind to
feel that ones physical energies are fail

nerveless, more dispiritpd, weaker every

dreds who surround us. A source Of re-
newed strength which science APPROVES,
in behalf of which multitudes Of the de-
bilitated have and are every day testify

weakness and infirmity and long I'M

nerves, prOmOtive of digestion and fer
tilizer of the blood. Dyspepsia and ner-

All forms of malarial disease, rheuma-
tism, kidney and bladder trouble. con
stipation and biliousness are annihilated
by this standard family medicine.

REUNION OF VETERANS

LAFAYETTE, La, March 30.-Special to
the Picayune. Pursuant to call the ver-
tern survivors of Company c. Eight
Louisiana Regiment, Colonel ii. b. Kelly
and Captain Alcibiades DeBianc in COM
mand. held a reunion this evening in
Falk's Hall. The object was to form
permanent organization for the purpose
of perpetuating those ties OF friend
ship and love that had bound then to
gether during the Ordeas Of war. This
command was attached To StOnewall
JacksOn's Caps, renowned for charges
that made the very hills of the Old DOM
iniOn shake and drove back the federal
army, shattered and discounted.
The meeting was called to order and
went into temporary organization.
There being about twenty members pre-
sent it was deemed advisable to postpone
permanent organization until May Is.
Mr.. S. l.. BrOussard was elected presi-
dent, and Messrs. Robert Perry and A. A.
Liable, vice presidents, with Mr.. ID. A.
COchrane as secretary.
Hon. Robert Perry made an eloquent
address, pOrtraying yiyidly the scenes of
the battles fought by the company, and
paid beautiful tribute TO the memory
of its noble captain, Alcibiades DeBlanc.
Hon. John Clegg also spoke stirring
words in maintaining the eternal justice
of the lost cause and paying glowing
tribute to the chivalry of the company.
A letter from Hon. jefferson Davis was
read expressing regrets at his inability
to be present.
After adjournment the members par
took of bOuntiful supper spread in the
dining hall of the Crescent News Hotel.
where the old war comrades toasted till
late hour.
The meeting in May promises to be
largely attended, and our citizens will
see that all will be royalty entertained.
1t might be well to quote in this con-
nectiOn General Taylor's report of the
battle of Port Republic:
"NO language can adequately describe
the gallant conduct of the Eighth Regi-
ment in the action of the Sth. DisOr-
dered by the rapidity of their advance
through dense thicket, making the
charge itself just as the loud cheers of
the enemy proclaimed his success in an
other part Of the field. Assailed by
superior force in front and on both
fianks, with two batteries in point blank
range, nObly did the SONS of Louisiana
sustain the reputation of their state.
Colonel Kelly, Of the Eighth, on the
right, acted with the most determined
gallantry, and was as gallantly suppOr-
ted by his officers and men. Members Of
the regiment were found dead under the
guns of the captured batteries. The
guns and caissOns Of the captured bat
teries were, by order of General JackOn,
turned over to the Eighth Regiment, and
by order of General Taylor were brought
off the field by Captain Alcibiade DeBlace
to whom they were given in charge by
order of Colonel Kelly"
