RECLAIMING DESERTS.

An Act was passed by the last Con-
press to encourage the reclamation OF
desert land. The California members
were instrumental in securing its pass
age, though undoubtedly it applies to
this State as we'll as to California.
Under it's provisions all land which is
too dry to produce crops or pasturage
to any extent is a desert, and parties
conducting streams of wa err upon
such land shall be entitled to q deed to
800 acres from the Government with
out further expense. The Act also pro
yides that streams or rivers flowing
through public lands may be used for
purposes of reclamation. Practically,
then, any person or persons who con-
ducts stream of water not otherwise
claimed on q tract of land which does
not naturally produce pasturage to any
extent is entitled to 800 acres of such
land from the General Government.
AS much of the richest soil in the
State of Nevada is covered with a
dense growth of sagebrush and does
not produce grass or crops to ally
extent, it might be advantageous
to our farmers to secure half
sections of it where wa er is avail
able. company have reclaimed a
large tract on the Big Meadows. near
Lovelock's Station, by building three
or four miles of ditch from the Hum
boldt river, and if the Act applies to
Nevada, each member of the company
is entitled to deed to 800 acres OF the
land so reclaimed. This bounty might
also induce others to dam the Hum
boldt and utilize its waters III reclaim
ing the desert, if the provisions of the
Act apply to this State and were gen.
orally known. Not being in favor with
"the powers that be" at Washington,
We received no copies of the Congress
sional Record during the session which
ended on the 4th of March, hence We
are unable to state positively VIII ther
the Act alluded to applies to this State.

COLONEL THOMAS j. HENLEY, who
resided in Elko county for two or three
years after the completion of the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad, died at his farm
in Mendocino county, Cal, last Satur
day, of softening of the brain, after
au illness OF six months. He was born
in Indiana in 1907, from which State
he was twice elected to Congress. He
came to California in 1919. and was
elected Presidential elector on the
Pierce ticket in 1852. Since the COM
pletion of the railroad he lived part
of the time at Eko aud Palisade, where
at one time he owned considerable
property. His remains were taken to
San Francisco for interment.

In England the law fixes twenty-one
years as the age at which persons may
ascend or descend chimneys for the
purpose of cleaning them. Even chin
ney sweepers of mature years. if they
are amenable to common sense, will
hesitate before they enter chimneys or
fues when engaged in their profess
sional duties, Tor the risk of being
stuck in a hue and suffocated is even
greater in the case of full grown
adult than in that of youth or child
of small stature. A melancholy in
stance of the danger attending this OBJ
jectionable practice is afforded by the
case of an unfortunate chimney-sweep
er named Virgins, on whose remains
an inquest was held at Pendleton, in
Lancashire, recently. 1t appeared by
the evidence that the deceased ascend
ed boiler fue at some works in Pen.
dleton for the purpose of cleaning it.
Half an hour having elapsed without
his temperance, one of the workmer
called to him, but received no answer
He was lying on his side about fifteen
feet from the bottom of the fue, and
when extricated was found to be quite
dead.

England, sailed about the world, and
finally reached Australia. There he
took service as shepherd, and for
several years kept sheep for farmer.
One day while packing up something

his eye was caught by an advertise

Hair Whitened Ina n Night.

The Augusta, Ca, Chronicle OF q
recent date says: " Father Leckner
visited Ike Hooper the condemned
murderer, yesterday morning, and In
formed him of the refusal of Governor
Smith to grant executive clemency.
Hooper was at first much agitated,
and trembled like leaf shaken by the
wind. but soon became more COM
posed, and during the day seemed
to have become more reconciled to his
fate, A remarkable fact in connection
with this case is an exemplifcation OF
the oft-told story that mems hair some
times turns grey in single night.
When Hooper was sentenced by Judge
Pottle last month his hair was perfectly
black. The morning after the sem
tence was imposed Mr.. Bridges, keeper
of the Jail, noticed, Oh entering the
condemned mans cell, that a portion
of his head was perfectly white. He
Immediately asked him where he had
obtained -four to put Oh his head.
Hooper was surprised, and said he
knew nothing about it. Mr.. Bridges
then went up to him and discovered
that large part of his hair immedi-
ately on the crown OF his head had act
ually changed from deep black to a
snowy white during the night. The
agony of few hours had done what
years generally accomplish"

lief that Senator Pierre Landry was

St. James, the Sentinel Of that parish

The CHIEF is perfectly correct in its con-
illusions. Since the election, Senator Landry

who elected him. and at the same time has
shown disposition to extend the .:olive
branch to sucl, of his enemies az have

nothing for party or people, and whose only

Gov. Kellogg has made no recent
appointment to Office which impresses
us more favorably than that of C.. j,
G. Puckette, Esq, formerly of the
Natcllitoches Democrat, to be Tax
Collector of Natchitoches parish,
Although this gentleman is not a Re-
publican, his selection can not be con-
sidered concession to the White
League party. He holds moderate,
sensible political views, and endured
some odium last year by refusing to
act with the ultra Democrats who
were allowed to force themselves into
the position Of party leaders. His
honesty and competency, however,
have never been called in question,
and his appointment to the important
office of Tax Collector can not fail to
produce a good effect among that class
of Natchitochians who are not pre-
pared to follow the sachems of De-
mocracy to the last ditch in violent
opposition to the existing State gov
ernment.

lar officer, was backed for re- appoint

TIE PINCHBACK CASE.

The news which was telegraphed
from Washington last Tuesday night
relative to the disposition of the Louis
lana Senatorial contest, caused gen.
eral surprise. During the debate upon
Senator MOrton's resolution for the
admission Of Mr.. Pinchback, Senator
West Of this State, who has warmly
supported his colleagues claim to a
seat since it was first made, moved
for the postponement of the vote upon
the resolution until the second Mon
day Of December next, and this mo-
ton prevailed by a vote of 80 to 30.
We have seen no authorized expla-
nation of Senator Vests motive in
procuring this postpoDement, but it
is claimed that lie desired to prevent
the contingency of a new Senatorial
election By the General Assembly at
the special session which will prob
ably be held shortly for compromise
purposes. As the vote upon the Nor
ton resolution promised to be very
close III any event, It was probably
feared by Mr.. Pinchback and his friends
that the prospect Of an early session
Of the full General Assembly of our
State would influence enough Repub-
leans to vote against him to secure
his defeat, and thus open the way for
the selection of another Senator.
We were disposed to regret the ac-
ton Of the Senate in again putting off
final consideration Of this long pend
ing contest, which deprives Louisiana
OF her proper representation in the
Senate, but as the telegraph assures
us that Gov. Pinchback is satisfied.
we can find 10 excuse for serious la
mentation. Finding himself SO per-
sistently and wrongfully deprived of,
his seat, we can not blame Mr.. Pinch
back for preventing another from oc-
cupying it, as tho next best thing
available.
We hope the Republicans in the
Senate will have made up their minds
20 do justice to Louisiana when the
second Monday Of next December
arrives.

ARBITRATION CONCLUDED.

The committee Of ex Congressman
who were requested to examine into
the Louisiana election Of November
lust aud pass upon the claims Of con-
testing aspiraDts for seats in the Gen
eral Assembly, have completed that
task and mailed their award in a sealed
package to Governor Kellogg. The
proceedings Of the committee were
secret, and the result Of their labors
is not accurately known; but enough
has been disclosed to indicate that the
House will be Democratic by q ma
jority of eight to twelve, but the Re-
publicans will have slight plurality
of the Assembly on joint ballot. But
one Senator is displaced-Crosier Of
Lafourche. Itwas decided that Caddo,
st. Martin and other parishes were
entitled to Republican Representa-
tives, while the Grant parish election
was recommended to be referred back
to the people. The question Of the
election Of State Treasurer was not
considered.
From these limitations of the ma
ture Of the award, We are satisfied
that the committee have given their
best efforts to the delicate task of
equitably adjusting the disputes re-
fcired to them for arbitration, and we
hope their conclusions will be ac-
cepted and acted upon by both Con-
sentative and Republican members Of
the Assembly. II an extra session is
necessary to give practical effect to
the adjustment, by all means let it be
called, and let the extremists of each
party be compelled to understand
that the good Of the State will not be
made secondary to their notions of
what should or should not be.
1t is noteworthy that the commit
tee, composed Of members represent
ing several shades of political opinion,
were unanimous in all their conclu-
sions. Shall the people of Louisiana,
by a rejection of the settlement ar
ranged, prove less mindful Of their
own welfare than these comparatively |
lisinterested gentlemen have been?
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1875-03-20

a number Of journals have ex-
pressed opposition to an extra session
of the Legislature on the ground Of
the expense, but the St. James Senti-
"el, which strongly favors the com
promise, thinks that " the question OF
expense is nothing, compared with
the good that ought to result from an
extra session."
