PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY. ALEXANDRIA. - LOUISIANA. AN INTOXICATED RAVEN. Antics of a Bird That Was Too Fond of the Flowing Bowl. No sooner could he toddle after leav ing the nest than he began to attempt various short excursions about the premises, reconnoitering the ground, and endeavoring to repeat his name, "Jerry," which he was seluously taught at feeding hours. No need, how ever, to dwell upon his pupilage, neither will spare permit to produce all the anecdotes which his life supplied in such abundance. Suffice it to say, at the commencement, that he was a para gon of intelligence among birds. His palate was no wise dainty, a tallow candle being as much relished as a slice of butter, the only preference, for they were both stolen, being given to that which was most accessible. And in order to gain access to any kind of food upon which he set his affections, his heavy beak was driven through a window, so enabling him to carry off an apple, a cake or a candle. There was in him a strange taste for stimulants, but how acquired I can not satisfactorily explain-certainly not hereditary. Cowslip wine was his favorite bever age; and he might have imbibed the habit of tippling by sipping the drops left in a wine glass, to which he had often access, and which was occasion ally mauled with his sledge hammer of a beak, after he had drained the dregs. Upon trial, I found him willing and able to drink off a glass of cowslip wine at a draught. This had its due effect. He was excited, flapped about the yard, crying out loudly: "Jerry! What, Jerry! What, .TJerry! Ah, Jerry! Ah, rogue!" Such an exhibition encouraged me to give him a little more. To a wine-glass full ot his favorite drink was added a large tablespoonful of rum. As usual, he drank it off without hesitation and walked away. At first I was afraid that the stimulant had done him harm; his manner was so quiet and his voice so subdued, so little appearance, indeed, was there of excitement. But only wait awhile, and what a change! He commenced in a moment a most furious raid upon the poultry. Ile leaped upon the backs of ducks and hammered their heads with his beak most unmercifully; then pursued the hens, catching them by their tail-feath ers,which were twitched out; and holding old chanticleer by his fine arched plumes, to his great consternation, till he made him scream as if he wore about to be killed. The last act of thiu drama was, that he most determinedly set upon a drake-perhaps in spiteful remembrance of some past grievance-as if resolved to destroy poor quack. But his vindic tive prowess was overcome by the pow er of stimulants within. In the midst of the fray, "Jerry" slipped, and fell over helpless on his back into a chan nal. ie was dead drunk. I gathered him up, stowed him away in his usual roosting place, where he slept for sev eral hours, and then again appeared on the scene of action, quiet, but none the worse for his spree.-Spectator. WOMEN IN ITALY. Intellectually They Comp ire Very Unfa vorably with American Women. Till 1800 any lady who could write her signature was supposed to make no oth er use of her accomplishment except in the writing of love-letters, not much to her ultimate benefit. This explains in a great measure the view taken of wom en in Italy and the position they allow themselves to occupy. Innocence was supposed to be only compatible with Ignorance. There awe for middle-class girls three kinds of Schools; the convent schools, where nuns teach, chiefly embroider ing flowers, and religion-not its his tory, but " practical " devotions. The government schools do not answer to our high schoolt, and are not nearly so good. The terms are low, from five or six francs a month. These attempt to teach the natural sciences, but they are all badly organized. The teaching is very poorly paid, and is not appreciated. There are examinations, and the schools work up for any thing they just happen to have set before them for the time being, so that there is no firm basis of mentalculture. There are three or four so-called superior schools, we of which are in Rome (Scuola Femminilla Superiora), and these are not much better. There is the most languid interest in higher education, although there are a few notable excep tions. There is one lady doctor prac ticing in Rome,who is doing fairly well; but, as might have been expected, she has had to encounter many prej udices. Queen Margherita is very aAlious to see the better educa tion of girls, and with that the ad vancement of women. She has named this lady doctor to her court, and she has also been appointed doctor to the employes on the telegraph service in Rome. There are two other lady doctors at Bolonga, who studied with the men at the universities. Bonghi opened the road of medicine to wome n. No Italian lady has spoken in public except Mmine. Salazaro, who lectures at Naples on women's education and rights. She frequently lectures in Rome at the Palombella, where the Roman Scuola Femminilia Superiors is, expressly for the Italian women. There is a private school in Rome, which is really a very good school, kept by a family named Nathan, and here girls can obtain some knowledge to fit them for their later years if they so choose. Chambers' Journal. -Rev. E. H. Lawrence, of Wisconsin, was presented with a Bible many years ago which he carried through the war. He always carried it in his coat pocket. At the battle of Kennesaw Mountain a bullet struck Rev. Mr. Lawrence on his left side, penetrating his coatand shirt, then into his Bible, stopping at Isaiah lii., 7. Strange to say, the Bible saved his life, and he preserved the book with the bullet in it until his death.

Leading Republican papers all. over the country have objected to the Lodge election bill that it is a measure not in response to any popular demand; that the people desire peace between the sections, surcease of passion and re sentment, while'the election bill con templates and is calculated to produce estate of things precisely the reverse of all this. It is, and was from the be ginning, purely a politicians' move ment, the scheme of ambitious and des perate men with purposes of their own to subserve. Among the protests that came in against the passage of the bill were many from Southern Republicans and bodies of colored men. The conspira tors felt the force of the objections and protests, and realized the need of some thing to hrcak their force. They have accordingly worked bard to secure the semblance of a popular demand for the passage of the bill. To this end blanks have been distributed everywhere for signatures, containing requests that the bill be passed. One of these schemes thus organized is intended to work the colored churches for an indorsement of the force bill rascality. A circular purporting to come from a news company conducted by colored men is sent to the pastors of colored churches. The body of the cir cular reads as follows: "To the Pastor-Rev. Sir: By means of the Democratic press an asiault is being made upon the public mind, which is an attempt to Influence National legislation into preventing the passage of the Lodge or Federal election bill. "Expressions of dissatisfaction from negroes disgruntled with the Republican party have been solicited, and their responses have been published in many of our great journals, as be ing the true desire of Afro-Americans. "We know that these declarations of opinion do not illustrate the popular sentiment. They. however, are full of possible mischief. There fore. to convince the masses and the National legislative powers that their opposition is but as a voice against a mighty tempest, it has bpen decided to take such steps as will, when carried out, display the true desire of the Afro American masses. But to be successful in this laudable effort we need your aid. This you can give most effectively by, after you have ad vised with your people, filling out the inclosed blank. "We would suggest that you present the matter before the members of your church this coming Sunday evening, or at such other serv ice on that day when you may have the largest congregat:on. Ask your people in a body their opinion of the Lodge bill and put their'answer in the bienk in the place prepared for the same. By doing this you will be assisting the cause of right and aiding your people to secure the franchise from which in many instances they are now debarred. "The efficacy of prayer is known to no people better than it is to Afro-Americans. Therefore, you may find it well to act upon this suggestion. Have your Sunday service accentuate by prayer the people's desire for the passage of the Fed eral election bill. "After having filled the blank, please Insertit in stamped envelope provided and mail at once, immediately after service." The blank sent out with this precious document has spaces for the town or city, the name of the church, the num ber of the people attending it and for their opinion of the Lodge bill. So far there is nothing in the blank to pre vent its being used for an opinion ad verse to the. bill. The authors of the plot, however, did not overlook this point, and, accordingly, have had printed below: "We have prayed in a body for the passage of the bill. For ward, Right and Justice." Below this is a line for the signature of the pastor. Could there be a more contemptible, a more detestable scheme for manufact uring evidence of a public sentiment which does not exist? The pastors of colored churches are here invited to ex ert their influence, often very great, over the members of their flocks, to in duce them to take a position upon a po Ihtical question and to favor a measure which the originators of the conspiracy very well know would be most unfortu nate in its results to them. For this wicked purpose the pastors are asked to employ the Sabbath day, when the members have assembled for worship. To cover up the impropriety of such action there is a cunning attempt to give a pious turn to the transaction. The efficacy of prayer is suggested, and the pastor is invited to stifle objections to this mingling of religion and politics by giving it the mask of a religious duty. The Itepublican party has always been fond of "working the churches" In its interest. Behind the mask of piety it hides the most wicked purposes. It is never so ostentatiously piols as when preparing to stir up strife or to perpetrate injustice. Nobody knows better than the leaders in this move ment that by estranging the Southern negrod from the white people among whom he lives they are doing him the greatest possible injury, but they are not deterred by this from seeking to perpetrate a monumental wrong in the sacred name of religion. A cause that must be supported by such means is desperate indeed.-Louisville Courier Journal. NORTH -AND SOUTH. The Son of a Former Slave DMiscussae the Welfare of His Race. If you will allow a colored reader to express a few words through the col umns of your paper regarding the much talked-of "negro question" and the "National election bill," I will take ad vantage of your permission. Being a native of Danville, Va., and a son of a former slave, I have been liv ing North but a brief period, but from what I have seen of the two sections I claim the Southern negro has more priv ileges than his Northern brother of the same race. Though I have used my ut most endeavor to avail myself of the "equal rights" so boastingly mentioned by the "friends of the negro" in the North, I am debarred from the work shops, from the counting-rooms, from official positions or from any occupation I may seek, except that which requires me to wear the white apron badge of cook, or waiter or as hod-carrier. I nlilt seek only the positions least re numerative, if not the most menial. When I pass along Lombard street, Philadelphia, I find that prejudice against them has crowded the negroes to gether like hogs in a pen, and 1 venture to assert that there is not a spot south of Mason and Dixon's line where the negro is in so much miseryor faces such squalid poverty, as the poor denizens of Lombard street and the other misera bhi quarters In which he has been com pelled, on account of his color, to reside, in the "good City of Brotherly Love." It would be wise to let a little of the sympathy that arises from the love of the brother in black to begin here at home. The South has done, and is still do ing, more for the negro than many sup pose. Negroes have been sent from the ioutth to the UTnited States Senate, to the lower house of Congress, to the State Legislature, and they have held zai0or° positions, but I have yet to hear -o t "WIq Goreas~ =" ois the Dublican Nort--a single negro cnat has ever been considered good enough" to hold the position of postmaster or any other position that requires an ounce of brain work. It is well enough to live in the North.and talk of negro domination in the South, but where is the Northern town, county, city or State that will swallow the same medi cine? The Northern negro is not born a slave, but he is just as effectually shut out from the advantages of hu manity as though the chains were forged upon him. le can never be any thing at the North but a "nigger" still, and the maudlin sympathy so freely expressed for the "rights of the negro" down South can be better ex tended in the North. Equally as many "outrages" are committed in the city of Philadelphia in one week as the whole State of Vir ginia in one year, yet no Congressional committee investigates; and but for the "rum" dealt out to the ignorant of both races on election days and other times, the "outrages" in the South would be seldom heard of. The salvation of the negro North and South is for him:to do his own thinking. When they, like the whites, learn to divide on party lines, they will be more respected; but just so long as they allow "pot house politicians" to dictate their political course, so long as they allow them to keep them in chains, just so long will the whites keep to gether. Northern whites will not be dominated by the negro, and they can not force their Southern brother to do what they will not do. The "force bill" will not benefit the negro, but on the one hand it will re tard his progress. It is nearly thirty years since the war began. The major ity of the old slaves have gone to their quiet home. A negro who can ever re member slavery must be about thirty five years old. To have worked in a field under a master he must be close to fifty years old. Time and education are healing prejudices, and the two races in the South are drawing closer together, but this "fire brand" about to be cast in their midst by the fanatics at Washington will open wounds and re sult in the downfall of the negro in the end; for should there be a general rev olution the whites of the North and South would both unite against him. The strong prejudice right here in the North is alone sufficient proof of my claim. Every blow struck at the whites of the South means two blows on the shoulder of the innocent and industri ous negroes, who ask nothing more than the privilege accorded every American, whether he be native or adopted; and if he must fill the menial positions he should at least be assisted to heal prej udice instead of increasing it. -Thomas W.

It makes very little difference whether Mr. Blaine has converted the President to his recip'ocity views or the President has induced Mr. Blaine to dilute the same in the interest of party harmony, the fact remains that by giving his views utterance Mr. Blaine has made it impossible for the Republican party ever to become a unit again in favor of higher protective duties. He has given vent to a great volume of smoldering discontent with the programme of his party in Congress, and has prompted the expression by Re publican leaders and newspapers of opinions of the most revolutionary character. Throughout New England and the Northwest there have been de liverances of this kind which will be of incalculable service in the cause of tariff reform, for they will set thou sands of people to thinking and. doubt ing, with the inevitable result of ulti mate injury to the high tariff cause.

I send you a plan of a rack for feeding horses, which we have had in use for over a year, and which has given good satisfaction both for feeding hay and grain. This rack is two and one half feet wide by ten feet long, and feeds four head of horses. '* Fig. 1 shows a front view for one horse. It is in sections; each section combines a hay-rack on one side and a trough on the other side. Fig. 2 gives an end view of one section, showing the way the grain-spout 'comes into the trough, and the way the hay is put into the rack. This rack can be built by any person that can work with tools. FIG. i. MANGERS FOR HORSE STABIE. The bottom of the -rack should be three and one half feet from the stable floor. For the bottom, use two planks 2x14 inches, which leaves a 2-inch space through which to let the lining boards {lown. Use a 2x4 scantling to nail the upper ends to, and make the trough eight inches deep. Cut the boards the slant you want the trough to be, and let them run clear through to the other side to make the end of the trough on the oth er side. Make the grain-spout Ix7 inside and cut it off even with the back of the rack, as shown in Fig. 2, dotted lines. Let the lower end of the spout stand out I. 'I 14 FIG. 2 on the bottom of the trough to put a board in for the back of the trough, as shown in Fig. 2. Make tight partition between each section.: For the rack use two scantlings, 2x3, for top and bot tom picoes. The rungs can be either iron or touih wood. Bore a hole through the partition for the-top piece to run through, so you can pull the lower end out for cleaning the rack anid fasten the lower end with two pins. These racks can be used to a good ad vantage in a barn fifty feet long, with a barn floor eighteen feet wlde. DiVide the stable in four parts, and feed down at each side of the barn floor.-A. G. C. SEhoemaker, in Farm and Fireside. Grain Ration for Steers en PIatnre. The following are the "Suggested (:onclusions" of a trial made by Prof. G. E. Morrow at the Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station, and detailed in Bulletin No. 9, of the "Value of Past ure, and of Grain Ration with Pasture, for Young Cattle": 'The results from two years' trials in dicate that a grain ration to young steers on good pasture is not usually profitable. The value of the increase In weight by the grain-fed steers over that by those having grass only will rarely repay the cost of food and labor. The increased value of the animals from earlier maturity and better quality may make the grain feeding profitable. "Especially it the grain given be un ground is it essential to have pigs fol low the cattle, if a profit is to be had. "To secure the greatest gains per ani mal the pastures must not be fully 'sto:ked. To secure the largest gain per acre they should be fully stocked. "An acre of good grass may be ex pected to support a steer weighing from 800 to 1,03) pounds, and enable it to make a moderato gain during the summer. "The rate of growth of cattle, either on grass alone or with an added grain ration, is very irregular, being especial ly checked by either drought or excessive rains, extreme heat or cold storms. "The addition of grain or other food to the pasturage before the grass fails in the autumn is clearly alvisable. "The acreage of pa'sturags may prob ably be safely decreased one-third if the steers be given a full grain ration. "'It is doubtful if at present in most parts of Illinois cattle can be main tained or an increase of weight be se cured at so low a cost in any other way as by allowing them to get all their food during the best of the grazing season from good pastures, fully but not overstocked.
