LOUISIANA.
The Mazatlan Rangers, who sailed from New
Orleans in the steamship Fanny, had arrived at
Corpus Christi, and were to leave on the 10Th ult
for California. They had obtained an outfit, and
were furnished with surveyors to pilot them as far
as FL Paso del Norte. They were to cross the
Rio Grande near that point and then strike off for
the head waters of the ella, and to follow the
route down that stream.
INCIDENTS OF EMIGRATION.
1t hes been rumored that, among the gentlemen
who have gone to California, are two or three who
were ewing small sums TO their tallors and others.
Some color Is given to the report by an incident,
which took place on the sailing Of the Duxbury
last week. One of the passengers, on hurrying to
the wharf to get on board, saw the familiar face
OF shenfis officer, who was evidently on the look
out tor him. Here was a check. mate indeed.
What was to be done In twenty minutes the
happy passenger escape the lynx.eyed vigilance of
the agent of the law? Perplexed in the extreme
ne rushed INTO friends store, and frankly told
him his dilemma. "What shall do % he asked
',he passe myers are all on board, and if miss this
chance OF going to California l am ruined. Can't
you do something for me ? Hark they will be
offln ten minutes" The friend thus appealed to

The Duxbury. The handcait arrived just as tho

cast of. The sherlf1's officer, who was pacing
the wharf IN the futile attempt TO keep warm,
glanced carelessly at the box and continued his
strides. An unexpected obstacle now occurred
The mate refused to receive the box, not bellev-
ing that 1t belonged on board. But alter variety
OF winks and binks from the handcartman, he be-
gan to understand the dodge, and the ''medcine
box" was carefully carried on beard, "ths side

officer continued to shiver and kick his heels on

then he retired disconsoate heme little suspectlng
