An OYSTER SroRY.-Speaking Of oysters, cor
respondent of the Taunton Democrat is reminded
of a little incident that occurred few years ago,
which is worthy of being printed Notwithstanding
it is true:
There lived once in New Haven colored brother,
well known for his piety, and highly esteemed for
the excellence of his oysters. There was q gather
ing of the "a saints on some occasion in that city,
which brought together an unusual concourse.
The good man reflected that the honest penny
which he usually turned might be changed into
derstand that NOT only his shellfish good, but
that the hands that opened them though pub
LEANS, were not sinners. He hit upon this ex-
pedient, which was certainly original and have
doubt efiectual: At his door he put up the sign:
"Oysters, fried, stewed, and in the SHE'LL Friends
of the Redeemer are requested to call.

State Land Gr.duation Acts.

Many persons are under the impression that from
the fact of their having preempted on State land,
or taken advantage of the U. s. Graduation laws
that for this they are cut off from the bene
fits of State Graduating Acts. Such is not the
case ANY person, male or female, of proper age
to take the oath that together with what they APP
acres, can enter approved State land at seventy
ishes: ls# d s7a4
Livingston, Sabine, Calcaseu, Claiborne, Bien-
vile, jackson, Union, VIM, Washington, st. Hell
ena, ST. Tammany, Bossier, DeSoto, Natchitoches,
Rapdes and Caddo. M sl7 T'- !, \
The affidavit for these parishes is merely to es-
tabis the faet that the applicant has not entered
To enter land in other parishes in the Land Dis
trict north Of Red river embracing Morehouae Car
roll, Washita, Madison, Franklin Caldwell, Tensas,
CatahOula and C0ncordia, affidavit il needed 10
establish the fact that the land applied for Is not
subject to overflow from the Red, 0uachita or Ms
sisspp river. This affidavit must be Of two disin-
terested persons acquainted with the land. This is
a very singular requirement of the law. causing
many singular affdavits to be made. The Red,
Ouachita and Mississippi rivers the great drains
of the State, into which all the bayous with their
branches empty hence all the land in the State
liable to overflow at ALL are affected BY the high
water in these streams.
The alluvial bottom lands subject to overflow
are the lands donated to the State by act Of Con-.
gress Of lS49 under a bill introduced by the late
John H. Harmanson from this District. Not one
half of this character of Louisiana lands have vet
been selected and of course the titles rest in the
United States. Any individual can have U. 8.
lands selected by establishing the fact that it is
subject to overflow by two competent Witnesses
before a Justice Of the Peace A certificate from
the United States Land Office in which the land is
located is needed, in order to show that it has
not been sold by the United States. This evidence
goes to the .. s. Surveyor General at Donaldson
vile and is then listed to the State. It can then be
entered at the State Land Office in this city at one
dollar and twenty-five cents the acre. The pur-
chaser gets a certificate of entry which has to be
returned in order to get Patent when the Secre-
tary of the Interior approves the selection. Select
because the Graduation Act only embraces APP
proued State land.-[Baton Rouge Gazette, 18th. 4s

ASTRONOMICAL CLocK.-There. is in the town of
Nantucket Mass, an astronomical clock, made by
Hon. Walter Folger when he was only twenty two
years of age. The plan of the whole machinery
of the clock was matured and completed in his
mind before he commenced to put it together. It
keeps the correct date of the year, and the figures
change as the year changes. The sun and moon,
represented by balls appear to rise and set on the
face of the clock, with all their variations and
phases, in the heavens. 1t also indicates the
suns place in the ecliptic keeps account of the
motion of the moons nodes around the ecliptic.
the suns and moons declination. The wheel that
keeps the date of the year revolves around once
in a hundred years. 1t remains still ten years. and
after that time starts regularly one notch. This
clock is considered by those who have witnessed
its performance to be one of the greatest speci-
mems of mechanical ingenuity in the country, re-
quiring not only mechanical skill, but perfect
knowledge of astronomy.
When the inventor died, few years SINCE it's ran
down." and no one could be found to adjust the
parts. One of his sons who was clockmaker by
trade studied upon it for two years, and after
