Mr.. E. j. G. and Others Of Amite

more of an incumbrance thanra bless

! Yet all are hale and sinewy tLd look
as if capable of performing any
amount of labor. The question then
arises, why do they prove SO worthless?
Or how is Mr.. Torrey responsible for
this result? The answers to these
questions are patent, from the replies
received from "Torrey's Englishman,"
whom have in my employ.
He says Mr.. Torrey represents to
them while in England, that money is
so plentiful in the United States, that
with scarcely any labor they may ac-
cumulate fabulous wealth, and treas
ures untold around them. That after
being here a short while, they will
surely have purchased a homestead,
where they can revel in the enjoyment
of all the luxuries of life, as do the
lords of England. That there are
herds of cattle, sheep swine etc, row.
ing over the country, from which they
can shoot od hbittm.
Thus it is he says, the Englishmen
are enthused with their beautifully
drawn pictures, and induced to agree
to start to that home of idle luxuri-
ance. But alasl when about to start
to that promised elysium they are told

to them. How provoking then it
must be to the Agent to again have to
compare the great advantages Of lux

n a mandatory, machine shop or
