Lake Charles, Calcasieu parish, is pro.
crossing. We hope to hear of fine
progress in the work before the APP

A STRANGE CHARACTER.

i The Washington correspondent OF the
|Cincinnati Commercial furnishes the fol
lowing:
I remember one old woman, she must
be dead now, who used to sit near the
reporters gallery, in corner, all day
long, with her knitting. She must have
been nearly seventy years old, for she
was gray and wrinkled and bent with
age, and her voice was shrill and piping.
Herdress was always the samoa dress
of dark woollen stuff, and bonnet of
black silk, something between hood
and sun-bonnet. For many years that
old lady occupied that seat She was
never seen in another. She came long
before the house assembled, and remain
ed until it adjourned. Nothing was
known of her. She paid no attention
to anything but her knitting and the
proceedings of the house. She was the
great mystery; nobody knew her; no.
body could tell where she came from,
what her name was, nor where she went
to. 1t was only known that she was
never absent from that seat during the
sessions of the house Every day found
her in the same place. 1t made no diff
ference whether the mud of fall and
spring were knee deep; it mattered not
il the wind blew the snow of winter in
biting eddes about the ears Of outdoor
folk; it availed not ii the session was
delayed long into tropical summer when
the galleries were like immense bake
ovens sparkling aud swapping with heat;
nothing kept her away She came as
regularly as the hour Of twelve on the
big clock in front of the speaker, and
she always had, at least she appeared
always to have, the same knitting work.
This was counted little strange. for
she toiled most industriously -stopping,
il is true, now and then for a second, to
bend over the railing when any exciting
occurrence was taking place.
What was most peculiar in this
strange woman, she seemed 10 take the
deepest interest in the proceedings. and
she watched them with tic intelligence
which denoted Der thorough understand
ing and appreciation Of what was &C
curing She would frequently break |
out with such ordinations as. Good !
for you" That's right" That's a !
lie" cob, You are very sharp" Il
hope he'll carry ii. &c The stranger
sitting near would turn and look the old /
woman IN the face III wonder for mo- /
mcnt, but she was nnnoved, paying 40
attention. hut continuing her knitting. |
She did not seem IL have a dcranredI
mind. but u single circumstance led
many to believe that her mind was
somewhat unsteady. Whenever vote
in the house was taken. RIA r0ce she
would cry out rs loud IN any Of them.
aye" aud when the speaker called for
the negative vote she would answer in
the same manner, mo" She voted on
both sides al every question, aud never
lodged, being somewhat in advance of
a good many of the members in this
respect. This strange woman disap-
pcarcd from her accustomed place in
the gallery, about two years ago. She
departed as quietly and mystcriousIy
As she came;nobody knows from whence :
she came, or whittier she has gone She
s probably among the dead, for nothing
short Of that would have taken her
rom her perch Of observation near the
gallery, and from her chronic
work.

PUZZLING QUESTIONS.

A writer IN Chambers journal con-
Pounds the philosophers with hard ques-
tons. He enumerates the long list of
we'll authenticated instances of animals
being held involuntarily prisoners of
nature, and then he demands reason
for this anomalous state of things. : A
few of his perplexities are curious
enough. Some workmen in a quarry
at Bourshire, Gotha, having detached a
large piece of stone from the mass,
opened it and found in the center a live
toad. 1t was of dard gray color, its
back a little speckled. The aperture of
the mouth was covered with fine men,
brane, as were also the eyes. 1t could
wink, but seemed incapable of any other
motion 1t lived but short time after
regaining its liberty. In ITO, near
Caen, live toad was found in the cen
ire of an elm tree, four feet above the
root and exactly in the centre. The
tree was perfectly sound, and about as
thick as mans body. No place could
be discerned through which it was pos
sible to have penetrated. As soon as
the wood was cut away, the toad, which
was a large one, crawled out and skip
ped away as if glad to escape.
These facts ard many others of a
similar character, led Mr. Herrisan, a
French savant, to make some curious
experiments. In February I'LL, he i'll
,Ia.al +L-ao 1.-Two taala ia ., ,,apx. nosae
of plaster, and shut them mp in a deal
box. In April, l7T4, he opened the
boxes and found the cases whole. OnI
breaking the cases he found two of the
toads alive, but the third had died a
martyr TO science. They were handed
over to the Academy Of Sciences, and a
careful examination showed that the |
animals had no communication with the |
external air, and must have existed
without the slightest nourishment. The |
same experimenter inclosed some toads |
in glass, SO rs TO observe their move |
ments, but TO the detrimcnt Of science |
and the relief Of the toads, he soon died, |
and the investigation stopped.
The writer from whom we quote also |
mentions other animals that have been
found in equally strange quarters. All
roulon, oysters fit TO cat are frequently |
found in pieces Of stone In Spain, two
live worms were found in the middle Of
a block Of marble which a sculptor was
carving into lion for the royal family
These worms occupied small cavities to
which there was no inlet that could |
possibly admit the air. In France, in
1872, an adder was found alive in the
center Of block Of marble thirty feet
in diameter In Guadcloupc live frogs
are found in beds of petriiaction. In
these and many other cases given by
the writer, his pcrplcxity, Of course, is
10 know how the animals got in there
IN the first place, and then how they
to subsist when they were in.
II any bugo!ogist, or other, can discover
low it is done, he will have a passablc
'ecipe for comforting Immortality.

The townpeopIc are beginning to see
that their interest are looked after by tho
planter members even better than by their
own. The Proceedings of the Council are
now read and scanned by all classes, and
they perceive that they alone, and u couple
townmembers, stand up for retrenchments
where such can be made. 1t is q pleasure
to see them standing like aphalanx against
the scheme of covering this island with
P0Iicemasters. They know it as well as
every body and have the courage to say
that the PoIiceassistauts do more than 1
of the work, leaving to the Policemasters
the pleasant task of making money as law
yers, administrators etc. They know and
have the courage to say that one poIicemas-
ter wouldn ot only be sufficient for the work,
but that it is the only way of getting a
uniform administration of the law from one
end Of our little island to the other, and, in
time to come, under an active and able In
spector, an increase of the police force to
such an extent that we could do away with
the Military and save some $4,000 at least,
as shown UP by yourself in No. 80 of the

hunters, for whose benefit that multiplicity
of places is to be made up, prevail over
the good sense of our representatives who
are being told, that they know nothing
about police, then good-by to a good

u A very important prop
osition to the voters of Fayette-
vile may be found in the ordi-
nances published in this paper.
We hope that our readers, after
a calm examination Of the sub
ject, will agree with US, that
the bonds ought to be issued as
proposed. Fayetteville and Lin
coin county will not soon, if
ever, have another such oppor-
tunity for a Railroad that is SO
plainly necessary. The in
creased businessand consequent
bringing of money into the
county by the successful opera
ton of the Road, would largely
exceed the total amount of
bonds issued, and interest, long
before their maturity. The de-
feat of this proposition by the
voters Of Fayetteville would 60
far toward defeating the Road
Therefore, we hope for an affir-
