New Orleans Times of Monday eve

way, Superintendent Of the Freed
mems Bureau and abandoned Pro-
perty, that he is daily expecting in
structions from General Howard,
whereby he will be empowered to
return to owners that description
of property classed as abandoned"
. Heretofore, Mr.. Conway, has only
been authorized to receive and for
ward applications, which explains
satisfactorily the causes of delay"

here has received a dispatch, sta

make application for the return of
their property to Mr.. Conway, in,
stead Of sending to Washington"
ave earnestly trust that but a
few days longer will suffice to
render everything in this respect
satisfactory to those most interest

which has attended the granting Of
applications for property restora'

these things would get round right
at last. Large bodies move slow.

The Great American Desert.

Hon. w. Gilpen, who has participated
in nearly all the early explorations of the
remote West, said in recent lecture:
"On those immense plains, once popularity
supposed to be deserts of shifting sand, /
found thirty-fve million head Of aboriginal
cattle, and when we consider the wild
horses, the elk, the bear, the antelope, and
the badgers that roam over these tracts in
boundless profusiOns we may arrive at an
idea of the number Of domestic cattle they
will support. Fifty sheep or five domestic
cattle can be supported on what would be
necessary for the sustenance Of one buffalo.
The soil is dry and dusty from the fact of
the rainless atmosphere, but they are beau
tifully smooth. Great rivers, which col
lect the eternal SHOWS of the mountains
course through it, and their waters can be
applied in irrigation. The Vegetation is
fine, delicate grass, that forms the carpet Of
the plains. This the heat and drouths cures
into hay. on the ground, and it is on this
that one hundred and fifty millions of an
imals, between the Mississippi river and
the Pacific ocean are fed. Here then, is
the great reservoir where the constantly
increasing population of our great cities are
TO find their ilesh.food."
