American iron may soon find not only

American iron may soon find not only
new markets but a new use. A great por-
tien of the expenses of telegraph companies
is due to the fall and decay of wooden tele-
graph poles, and during the France rus-
sian war Prussia experienced much annoy
ance from this source, and now proposes to
remedy the evil and prevent its recurrence
by using iron instead of wooden poles Ex-
periments recently made with this material
have proved entirely satisfactory, and iron
will soon be used on all Prussian telegraph
lines. In the long run iron will be cheaper
than wood for this use, as poles made of it
will not have to be often renewed. The ex-
ample of Prussia will probably soon be fol-
lowed by other nations, and before long by
this country.

The chances for making a fortune quickly
again occur, for tomorrow there will be an
other drawing of the single number tickets
in the Louisiana State Lottery. The capital
prize is fifty thousand dollars, and the pur-
chaser of a ticket, costing only twenty
dollars, may win. Fifty thousand dollars in
these dull times is big pile, especially if
every dollar is as big as a cartwheel. What
ever may be the size of each dollar, on
whether the prize of fifty thousand is paid in
large or small notes, the fact of the posses
sion of that large sum will make some man or
woman happy, and certainly would remove
the seruples of the most conscientious
against buying lottery ticket. Remember
there is to-day an opportunity to win a, for
tune, and if you can raise twenty dollars,
invest it to secure that fortune.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
In your edition of this morning, under
the "Local Intelligence head, l noticed a
paragraph stating that "the performance of
the Orleans Dramatic Relief Association at
the St. Charles Theatre was again post
poned last night" The performance of
''Othello" at the St. Charles Theatre, which
was to take place on Monday evening, July
3, was postponed until Wednesday evening,
July II, and not for last evening, as some
parties supposed it was. Please make this
correction, and oblige the Orleans Dramatic
Relief Association.

The CREvAssE AND THE JACKSON KALI
RoAD:-The Picay1tne of last evening says:
The water is fast receding from the Jack
son railroad, and there is only about one
mile this side OF the trembling prairie sub
merged. The earthwork over Premier Ridge
was pretty badly washed out by the Gre
gravel. About one mile and a half of crib
bing, which was broken, will have to be
taken to pieces and readjusted. The strong
westerly winds which have prevailed have
materially aided the company, as the water
has been falling at the rate of one inch per
day. By next week work will commence in
good earnest, and it is confidently expected
that by the first week in August trains will
be running over the entire road

The Jackson Pilot compliments the Mis-
sissippi Central railroad:

We have had occasion recently to make
several trips over this railroad, and we can
say with perfect candor that it is now one
of the easiest and most comfortable lines in
the country. Its superintendent, Major
Frost is perfectly ubiquitous, and indefatig-
able in keeping an oversight of the track
and all that pertains to safe and orderly
running of the trains. He frequently makes
personal examinations Of construction and
other trains, and even sees that the wheels
and boxes are in good condition, something
that can not be said of many men in similar
positions. The conductors are also gentle
men. Commend us to the Mississippi Gen.
tral railroad. All who are to take Journeys
toward the northward should give it trial.
