We sometimes read, in the VEL
iow-back literature of the day of
noble and generous bandits and
stage robbers, who, after having
rifed the pockets and plundered
the baggage of an entire party, in
a TT of spasmodic liberality turn
and bestow part of their plunder
on q consumptive or some poor
sick woman. The liberality and
generosity SO extensively advertised
tor the Louisiana State Lottery is
even moro contemplate, in that it is
not as genuine gift as that of the
highwaymen, as the lottery has in
view the selfish and ulterior bene-
fit OF its Golfers in every single
donation it makes.

The Alexandria Town Talk OF the 24tf

OF the late high water at that point, from
which the town was fortunate to escap<
overflow after days Of labor and inces.
SAINT Watching. The paper is printed ON
only half sheet, its editor and printers
having had to serve their turn with the
rest OF the citizens in working on the
ievees- The highest water was ON Mon
day, May 10, when the government gauge
registered 1886 feet The high water Of
the various years at Alexandria compares
a. follows: 1865, IS feet 8 inches; 1884,
S6 feet 9 inches; 1896, 80 feet l04 inches.
The great food Of 18l9 is estimated to
have stood, in reference to the gauge in
nse now. at about 40A feet, or cay 8 feet
. inches higher than the present food.
The salvation Of Alexandria from over
dow at the present time is owing entirely
to the energy and pluck OF her citizens
in fighting the angry waters. Old men
and young, white and black, rich and
poor. worked side by side. Many had not
done any hard work for years, and blis-
tered hands were plentiful Judge ". F.
Biackman was throwing mud in great
shape; Mr.. E. g. Hunter, one Of the best

John Well and all the mercantile, pro-
and mechanical world of Alex

Monday, May 10, 1890, the critical day in |

/ Now the subject of better public
roads is being discussed over the
State, and on inquiring we have
found many of our prominent citi-
zens opposed to the present method
OF keeping public roads in order,
or rather in disorder as the case
may be. We favor change in the
entire system of working public
roads. The present mode Is not
satisfactory, and does not furnish
good roads. We say let's keep up
public roads by public taxation, let
out the roads to be worked by con-
tract, instead of by tho present
mode. Every individual property
owner would then have to pay taxes
to keep up the roads in proportion
to value, and would pay out far
less than the time employed now
Is worth to him. Let's hear from
others on this subject. = Winn

The Women Then.

The average wife Of today has but little
idea of the toll Of the pioneer mothers who,
with their husbands, took up land in Maine
sixty or seventy years ago. Old Lady
Barker, as every one in Troy calls her, set
tied down in that town when there was
but an OK road to Bangor and to Belfast,
and she tells the following: Soon after we
moved into our log cabin my first child
was born. My husband had been down
the fall and winter before and cleared away
quite a piece of land by telling the tees,
and about this time he began to pile them
for burn. Trees were big ones in those
days and husband could not pile them
alone, and wehad noneighbors with whom
he could exchange work.
$50 when baby was about six weeks old
he used to help me in the morning about
the house, and then we all three went out
into the clearing. Husband would get one
end of log well up on the pile, and then
used to put handspike under that and
hold it until he could pry up the upper end.
The baby we used to lay out on pillow,
with few boughs over it to keep off the
flies, and / suppose, take it all in all,
helped clear up over thirty acres in this
way. We had no money, 80 we did not need
a store. i made all the cloth we had; made
our years sweetening from maple syrup
knit mittens, socks, shirts and drawers,
and even made cloth caps and my own bon.
net. Looking at it nowadays wonder how
we lived at ALL but we did, and, as you
know, grew to be quite well off, but the
wealth came slow. H-Lewiston Journal.

Higher Education of Women.

But the higher education of women, as 1t
Ia called, is already here. The experiment,
II so we may term it, is now going on In
many places, and on q scale of great mag
nitude 1t is settled for the time being, at
least, that their education is to be substan-
TALLY the same as that of young men.
They are receiving no quarter in the lists,
but are boldly competing with their
brothers for the prize of scholarship and
intellectual supremacy. All told, there are
today thousands Of girls under collegiate
instruction and contending for scholastic
degrees, and statistics show that they are
strong In the battle
It used to be prophesied that women
would lose the loveliest qualities Of woman
hood in the strife and pursuit. but the
event has proved that such baleful predic-
tions were without justification. OF course
1t is so. Whether women compete with
men in trade and industry, in public life,
in platform debate, or in the realm OF
knowledge and learning, they retain and
never lose or impair the charm and the
power Of their womanhood. The more
they can do and know, the more attractive
they become to men and the more they
dominate their affections.
The only danger is that they will be
driven too hard because of their willing
ness, their spirit of emulation, and their
conscientiousness They are so eager to
get ahead and to escape from old time con-
ventional restraints that they need rather
to be curbed than spurred. They will win
the race more surely If they make an easy
start.-NeW York Sun.

A Judicious Host.

John Kenyon always made a point Of
asking any foreigner who was also q
stranger in London to a small dinner oil
three or four that he might have an oppor
tunity of making intimacies before being
launched into general society. At Ken
yon's table there was a marked absence OF
all reviewers or appraisers of literary wares
and he was strongly averse from encourag-
ing mutual admiration" clique, He
had fine sense of the fitness of things
II never ask DickensRnd Thackeray to
gether now, | did so Once, and found II
was mistake" said Kenyon to the writer
adding, with touch of humor peculiarly
his own, 'and l do not always ask hus
band and wife to the same parties. They
are addicted to setting each other right
about small details, which is very aggra
waiting, and often turns the point of d
story. What does it matter whether the
bishop met Devil Crosse and Satin Mont
gomery' at the Browns on Friday or at the
Smiths on Monday 1t is enough for us to
know that his lordship was In good com.
pany.
"The Sydney Smiths" Kenyon went OF
to say, ''are a couple who ought to be asked
together, for she leads up to her husbands
jokes and laughs at the right moment.

she must have been we'll beaten before she
could have been brought into such good
