VICKsBuRG, SHREVEPORT AND TEXAS RAILROAD
We copy the following, taken from the Monroe (Oua-
chita) Register, with much pleasure We are truly
reioced at the attering prospects of the great rail
road:
DR.. Young the President of the road, reached here
last Tuesday on the steamer Farmer, bringing with
him the most encouraging and gratifying news as re-
CARDS our road He corroborates the statement made
in our last ISSUE and says that in addition to the l6O
aborers the west side of the Macon, there are mp
wards of 200 negroes at work on the track between
Vicksburg and the Macon, besides number OF Irish
aborers-making in all force of about $50.
We understand that DR.. Young has expressed the
opinion that the rails will be laid on the track as far
as Monroe by January next The work goes bravely
on and everything leads to the belief that there will
be no difficulty whatever in reaching Monroe soon-
perhaps before January. Although the Mississippi
river has been very high, yet it has in no manner
whatever interfered with the progress OF the work.
Another important matter connected with the pros
poets before us of an early completion of the road
the fact that the lower branch of Congress has passed
by handsome majority the bill granting lands to the
State of Louisiana in aid to construct her railroads
The bill will doubtless pass the Senate, and will re-
ceve the sanction of the EXecutiveat least we have
| every assurance OF 1t.
and judging from what we have heard from that quar-
ter. the contractors very sangulne OF an early
completion of their labors.
Thus it will be seen there is every reason for con
graduation and the friends of the enterprise must re
oce at the favorable turn matters have recently TAX
| en-. They have had great many difficulties to com
| bat and it must be source OF peculiar grathcatlo
to them to see their giant about to be croWne
with the most complete success.

A Successful Trick.

The perspration started to the exhibitors brow, and
the audience shouted with delight and surprise.

The next day, as they were starting in the cars,
one of the city councillors came to them and begged
that they would explain the miracle.

with grand flourish of his hand, and the magistrate
departed, much edited and perfectly satisfied.
