Prospect » or a Pkmm.k Semiuabt in
Baton Koooe .—We were favored on Tues
day with a call from Rev. J. K. C. Dobe
hijh , 1). J)., who informed us of his inten
tion to open in October a Female Seminary
in Baton Rouge, which shall meet the
wants of the community in all the require
ments of an elementary and of a finithed edu
cation.
I)r. Dobkmus is a gentleman of fine ac
quirements and has had about twenty
years' experience in teaching—four years
of which aro included in the term of bis
former professorship in Oakland College
Miss. He has boon long and favorably
known to our citizens and thoso of West.
Baton Rouge, Pointe Coupee,and othor
adjacent parishes, and wo have no doubt
from his personal reputation, Iiis qualifica
tions and his experience, that he is emi
nently calculated for the enterprise he is
projecting, and to bring it to a successful
issue.
Advertisements will announce in a lew
few days, terms of boarding and instruc
tion, «fee.
T he L eveks .—Light from vurioti» quar
t ers comes in at intervals to give hssu ranee
that the Lovée question continues to re
ceive that attention which its importance
demands.
Tho following item from tho Now Or
leans iStar will be road with much satis
faction :
"We arc exceedingly gratified to learn,
by an interview with our friend, Tobias
Oibson, Esq., of Terrebonne, that both
Gov. Weils and Major den. Canbr havo
given the most positive assurances that the
Ieveou on tho Mississippi Rivor shall be
marin g (Al. This will bo gratifying now#,
indeed, to the distressed and worthy citi
zens of the section ®f the State now and
heretofore subject to the ruinous effects of
tho floods from the Mississippi."
Here is another item which we clip from
tho 'Times. Whether it has any connoction
with tho measures foreshadowed in thu
above, wo cannot say, but think likely
it has :
To thu Planters and others interested in Planta
tion« on the Mississippi Rivet and its tribu*
Urins :
It hits been proposed to gather informa
tion upon tho condition of the Leveos, in
tondod to protect tho landed property of
Louisiana; auch information to be em
bodied in a report to the Honorable the
Secretary of the lntorior, prior to Novem
ber 1st. The views of those interested are
invited, tho samo to be givon in writing
on or before October 20th.
Full reports as to the manner of repair
ing, tho cost, and the future euro of the
name, is requested. AU such communica
tions may be addresseed to

Pulpit Politics .—Politics and tho pul
pit are terms that havo little agreement.
No sound ought to be beard in the church
but tho healing voice of christian charity.
Tho cause of civil liberty and civil govern
ment gains as little as that of religion by
this confusion of duties. Those who quit
thoir proper character, so assume what
doos not bolong to them, aro, lor the great
net purt ignorant both of the character thoy
hrvc and the character they assume.
Wholly nnacqnainted with the world in
which they are so fond of meddling, and
inexperienced.in all its affairs, on which
tliey pronounce with so much confidence,
they know nothing of politics but the pas
wans they excite. Surely the church is a
place where one day's truce ought to bo al
lowed to tho dissensions and animoaitie*
of mankind.— Edmund Burke,.

clergyman called ont: ' - lf the lady with

Brazil .—News has been received that
the war between Paraguay and the Argen
tine Republic shows no signs of termina
tion. The Paraguayans had retarded mil
itary operations, but hostilities were about
to commence on an imposing scale; large
armies wore being raised by volunteers and
conscription.

Individual recreation in some conntries )
is made a matter of public concern, and so
it should be, everywhere. Yet, it is pur
prising to Reti how little interest ie mani
fested in this particular in many portions
of onr country, where circumstances of «li
ma!» sud sedentary occupations would
sen m imperatively to roquire such moans
ol reliof from mental and physical toil as
would be afforded in the exorcises of tho
gymnasium or in numerous other life
prolonging and agreeable pastimes that
might bo named.
As a genera! thing, a lamentable defi
ciency has existed In this and other South
ern localities with rospeot t« cheap as well
as attractive resources of amusement aud
relaxation for tho million. Public parks*
gardens and esplanades, like those of tho
European cities, and a few of our Northern
cities, with thoir hundreds of acres beauti
fied and adorned in every conceivable
manner by the hand of art as woll as na
ture, and free to tho enjoyment of tho poor
as well as rich, are what our Southern cities
very much need.
Mon living in cities, whether pursuing
mental or physical occupations, require at
times a relief from their treadmill rontine
of dutios, or they sicken and die beforo
their time, from sheer monotony. They
must, have "breathing spells'' occasionally
outside the dull, insipid atmosphere of
thoir everyday circumscribed haunts, or
their lung* will fail to porfonn their func
tions properly.
It is a sound philosophy that seoks to
adjust tho recreations and avoentions of
mon in «nch a way as, by alternate indul
gence», to season one to the other, and ron
der each in its turn, enjoyable and bene
ficial to both mind and body.
Wo can well conceive tho zest which
those peripatetic philosophera of old—So
crates, Plato, Aristotle and their eonso
oiatos—must have turned from the thor
oughfares of tho forum and the temple to
the peaceful shadosof the Academic grove,
there to enjoy, while thoy dispensed, oracu
lur wisdom, and fashioned for future nges
their undying theories and principles of
philosophic science.
But, to return. Wenoedin this country
a much greater amount of facilities for
public recreation. The few we have are
too expensive, and thro fore unattainable
to the poor. A horse and vehicle for a
day is an extravagance beyond the limited
means of the poor man. A steamboat trip
bss to be made at a cost which places that,
species of luxury among tho rarest of his
privileges. An excursion across tho river
by the lorry, (going and returning,) ex
tracts from the poor man's pocket a foe of
forty cents; so that even this slight monnw
of Tocreatioti is debarred him, when it
comes to more thati » very rare indulgence
of his dosires in that direction.
We weie pleased with the suggestion*
t hrown out by a writer in the Advocate of
the -'.Olli 'met., favoring the plan of selling
tho terry lease, in which onr city and the
parish of West Baton Rouge are interested,
to the party agreeing to carry passengers»
freight, Ac., at the lowed rates, instead of
leaving it to, and empowering tho loss««,
asunder present rules, to charge three or
lour times as much as ought in justice to
be charged. Tho exorbitant rates'of fer
riage which have ruled hero for years, is a
subject of aoriau s complaint with tho pub
lic, and should be reformed. Let tho
achedu le ol'charges be brought down to a
just and reasonable standard, and the pro.
portionate increase of business would aft er
a while mora than counterbalance the re
duction of toll. No doubt that in the sin
gle Horn of passenger ferriage dttriug the
year, there would accrue to the leweo a
business at least four-fold greater than he
would derive, from the same source under
the existing exorbitant toll. Hundreds
would then avail themselves of the ferry
facilities where only dozens now do. Pub
lic interests would Ii« promoted and oppor
tunities giveu to every one to indulge
more frequently than now iu thoso little
aquatic excursions, for purposes of recrea
tion.
Wo sincerely trust that tho authorities
controlling this matter will signify, their
disposition to give it a liberal aud enlight
ened consideration aud adopt the earliest
practicable measure» to givo to the public
a system of cheap ferriage, such as we find
in vogue elsewhere and which works with
marked satisfaction and advantage to every
J
A foreign paper contains the fol
lowing in relation to an underground thea
tre :
Tho fearful heat of summer weather in
Paris proves fAtal to tho pursos of all man
agers of theatrical entertainments. A
Dutch speculator, M. Bischofl'sheirn by i
name, hopes that he has discovered the
secret which will solve the problem of how
to enjoy a theatrical performance while
Fahrenheit marks 90 in the shade. M.
Bifohoffaheim has conceived the idea,
which he is in the course of carrying out,
of a subterranean theatre. Startling as this
may read, it is nevertheless a fact, as any
one who walks along the Rue Scribe can
attest, the excavation being commenced at
the angle cf that street and the Rue Neuse
des Matthurini, behind the new opera.
This theatre will coat the trifling sum of
£120,000, the purchase money of the ground
being included in that calculation. Tho
subterranean theater will not be completed
for two years. The pit is to be put twenty
four feet below the surface of the ground;
the Btage will measure one hundred feot
in length and sixty feet in width. It con
sists of a pit and two galleries, which will
accommodate seven hundred spectators.
The theatre itself will be thirty-six feet
high. A circle of iron columns are intended
to support the floor of the first tier of boxes.
The atmosphere of tho pit is to be cooled
by several jet» d'eau. Fivo tiers of boxes
will rest on the capitals of the iron col
umns.

Horrible Death of a Chili» fro u Hy
drophobia, Lono After the Bite had
Healed .—It is our duty to record one of
the most painful events that has occurred
in our city for aomo time, and one which
calls for tho sympathy of all our citizens.
In tho early part of August wo noticed
that a little sou of Mr. Charles Kuhn, a
butcher, residing on Indiana Avonuo,just
west of the canal, was dreadfully bitten by
a mad dog. Tho little fellow was in his
father's store, when the dog ran iu, seized
him by the leg., and threw him to the
ground. The brute then bit him severely
between the noso and eye, dragging him
noarly to the door, before ho let looso his
hold.
So suddenly was all this enacted, and so
terri liod were tho bystanders, that the dog
was allowed to escape, although, we bo
lievo, it was afterwards killed, out not be
fore others, and some animals, had been
bitten. Everything possible was done for
tho lud, and it was hoped that the virus
had boon effectually cleared from the sys
tem. Tho wound healed over, and the
boy, an uncommonly lively ohild, rogain
ed hi» injnal vivacity and health. Last
Thursday the mother was spending tho
afternoon with a friend, having her son
with lier, who appeared tho perfect picture
of health, and iu unusual buoyant spirits.
Not the slightest immediate danger was
apprehended, albeit tho heart of tho mother
would -oinotime« siuk when she contem
plated the possibility of the dreadecf and
dreadful disease; but still she was com
forted by the hope, which appeared strong,
that by the remedies applied, including a
famous '•madstono," all danger was pre
vented; but Friday, iu all calendars an
unlucky day, dashed all these hopes to the
ground, and saw tho worst fears of the pa
rents terribly realized. In the afternoon
the little boy showed symptoms of parox
yiuns, evincing a distaste for water, which
continued increasing in violence, until tho
luoution or sight of wator would cause ter
rible cries and spasms. When tho fits
were at the highest, Charlie would exhibit
every symptom of hydrophobia—-barking
aud snapping, frothing at tho mouth, and
showing overy evidence of being possessed
by tbo spirit of dog-madness.
Those- fits continued, with rnging vio
lence, until tho next morning, when tho
child wns taken to Dr. N. S. Pendery's
establishment and given a vapor bath, in
the hope that this would expel tho virus
from bis blood. But the malady was too
deep-seated, and the bright little fellow
was released from his sufferings a short
time by death.— Indianapolis Journal,\Qth.
i
A Remarkable Ceriobitt .—Mr. Daniel
W. Smith, foreman of the Boston Pout
composing room, has just returned from a
summer vacation spent in New Hampshire,
and brings from the Granite State a re
markable curiosity, that has puzzled the
brains of all to whom it lias beeu shown.
It is a pillow- case made of common striped
ticking, aud tho property of Mrs. Jeremiah
Whitney, of East Canaan, N. H. In 18H0
Mrs. Wnitney filled this case with hen
feathers, taken indiscriminately from the
slaughtered inmates of the barn yard, and
placed it on what she called her "spare
J bed." There it remained until some six
months ago, the bed receiving only occa
sional use. Last spring a young lady who
slept in the bed thought there -were some
peculiarities in the pillow, and called the
attention of Mrs. Whitney. With tho en
ergy of the caroful housewife, ok being
so uotitied that lady immediately opened
tho pillow case, and waB surprised to find
the quills and stems of the feathers com
pletely stripped. On turning tbo case in
side out, it was found moreover, that the
down from the feathers had been pressed
against the ticking in such a manuer as
to form a surface like that of velvet over
the whole inside of the case, as shown us
by Mr. Smith, looks like apiece of slightly
worn velvet of a uniform maltcso color,
backed by a strip of blue and white bed
ticking.
This strange phenomenon has been ex
hibited to gentlemen engaged in various
departments of cloth manufacture, and
they are unable to suggest any means by
which the present appearanco of the pil
low-case could be produced. Some have
thought that it resulted from the opera
tions of an insect, but none wore found
when it was first opened, and the cloth ha#
not been eaten at all, but is whole and
strong as ever. The work—however done
—has beeu woll done, and the down is so
firmly fixed to tho cloth that no moderate
usage will remove it. It is remarkable
that it should be laid on evenly over the
entire surface, so that the whole is covered
and nono left bare. There are no theories
that we havo yet heard that are sufficient
to account for the phenomenon, and a fine
chance is offered for scientific mon toraaa
facturo one to suit ths "cane.''
