The Proposed Centennial Legi,

The Proposed Centennial Legion.
New YORK, July 2i.-At meeting of
past and active members Of the Boston
Light Infantry Association on Monday, a
proposition was received from Major Gil
christ, of the Washington Light Infantry, Of
Charleston, South Carolina, with reference
to the organization of centennial legion
from the leading veteran organizations Of
the old thirteen States, to take part in the
national centennial celebration at Philadel
phia next year, the legion to consist of one
battery of light artillery, twelve companies
of cavalry and ten companies OF infantry,
one company each from New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode
selected bv those companies, one each
from New York, New Jersey. Delaware and
Pennsylvania, with field officers selected as
aforesaid, each company to be limited to
seventy five men in all, all companies to
rendezvous at Philadelphia on the second
of July at noon. The proposition also stated
that the centennial Of the battle of Fort
Moultrie be celebrated in Charleston on the
twenty eighth Of June, 1876. 1t will be
desirable for as many Of those commands
as possible or representation thereof to
rendezvous in Charleston to assist in the
celebration, and proceed thence to Phila-
delphia By rail or steamer, as may be most
practicable.
The plan was we'll received by the Boston
organic alton, and several members made
brief speeches urging the acceptance of the
invitation to attend the Fort Moultrie cele-
bration. Although no immediate action was
taken, the general opinion of the members
was in favor of participating in the forma.
ton of the proposed legion.

From Brownsville.

4 special from Brownsville to the Calves
ton Ne,cs Of the twentieth says:
The steam launches arrived here thi.
morning. They are commanded by Captain
Coffin. The other officers are Lieutenant
Judd: Master Mitchell, Ensigns Thomas
and Wood. and Surgeon Lewis. The crews
consist of twenty -four sailors. armed with
Remington guns and revOlvers. Each
launch has Gatling gun on the bow which
can hre 24O times minute. The carriages
OF these guns are aboard, and they can be
quickly mounted and used on land.
The movements of these small vessels will
depend upon those of the military, and they
are to that extent under orders Of General
Potter.
Manuel and Patricio Ramines, Manuel de
Ia Garcia, and another are said to have
been arrested yesterday in Matamoras.
Ramines is the executor named in General
Cortina's will. Colonel Christie prevailed
upon Garcia TO induce the two Ramines to
point out where General Cortina had hidden
arms and ammunition. They did 80, and
200 guns, one GatliDg gun, ETC., have been
found. The search has not been completed.
All quiet on the Rio Grande. Our friends
over the way are said to be alarmed. They
do not like Captain McNally's way of doing
things. The war steamers, the launches,
and other significant things do not suit
them.

LAKE BISTENEAU.
Mr.. Melvin's side of the Story.
The following letter was yesterday trans.
mitted to Governor Kellogg:

The following LITTER was yesterday trans.
mitted to Governor kellogg:
STATE OF LOUISIANA
Office Board of State Engineers
New Dreams, July l9, 1875.
General n. JEFF Thompson, Chief State Engineer:
DEAR SrR-l have seen in the New Or.
1eans Picayuns Of last Saturday an article
With conspicuous heading, announcing tie
closing of Macks bay ou, destroying naviga-
ton OF Lake Bisteneau. etc.. by one Melvin
Of tho Levee Board.
Whoever has gotten up the story has
done so without the shade Y of a founda-
ton. as you are well aware. That advo-
cate the closing of this and all other bayous
on both sides of Red river, as part Of q
system of levee for the reclamation of the
alluvial lands Of the valley, and the i'm
provement of navigation in Red river, is
also we'll known to you. In connection with
the above, it may be well to mention few
facts, not theories, as to the effect Of clos
ing Mack's bayou, On the navigation of
Loggy bayou, for the lake would be but
little effected by it.
The bed Of Mack's bayou is eleven feet
above the low water line of Red river, con-
sequeptly, the water of Red river will not
enter Mack's bayou until it is above that
level. The water of the BOdceaa passes
out through Mack's bayou to Red river,
while Red river is below it, and only por-
ton Of it finds it way to Bisteneau through
Red Chute lake and Flat river to the foot
Of the lake, and 80 back to the river
through Loggy bayou. If Mack's bayou be
shut up at it's IL ,uth, all the supply of
water from Lake Bodceau must unite with
the water OF Bsteneau, near it's foot, and
for this reason l think the fears of the
"Minden Merchants" are misplaced. The
effect would be the reverse of what they
predict. When Red river is high enough to
feed Bisteneau through Mack's bayou, it
will supply much greater amount Of water
through Loggy bayou, by backing it up
into the lake.
The assertion that am using State funds
to close the bayou is simply absurd, and
that am. working in connection with ''in.
terested land owners is still greater fc.
ton. That Think Mack's bayou ought to
be closed is true, but that it should not be
done until Red river from Tones bayou to
Loggy bayou has become enlarged, and has
found sufficient capacity to carry the food
waters within it's banks.
Respectfully. W. c. MELVIN,
Assistant Engineer Red River District.

Murder in Louisiana,

On tho night OF Wednesday the four.
| teenth instant, G. II. Radetzki. tax eollec
tor of Grant parish, was shot to death by
John B. Mccoy, who had been suspended
from the office OF sheriff by Judge Stokes.

believed Mccoy had come to Colfax to kill
him. out he made no threat in return, but
eaid that for three or four days he should

Increase of Catholicism.

The increase in population in this coun.
try from 1890 to 1875 has been a trit1e over
1000 per cent. The increase of our Roman
Catholic population in the same time has
been nearly $1,000 per cent. Let us look
now at the relative proportion of Catholics
to the whole population at its rate of in
crease:
In 1890 there was Roman Catholic for
every 13l of population.
In 1903 there was l Roman Catholic for
every IS of population.
In 1880 there was Roman Catholic for
every % Of population.
In l840 there was ! Roman Catholic for
every Is Of population.
In 1850 there was l Roman Catholic for
every IL Of population.
In 1860 there was / Roman Catholic for
every Of population.
In 1870 there was l Roman Catholic fof
every 10 Of population.
In 1875 there is l Roman Catholic for
every Of population.
Confining ourselves to the present GEN.
tury, we find that in 1900 our whole popu.
lation was 5,3O5, ,937, and the Roman Catho-
lies not quite 10000. In 1875 our total
population is estimated at 100000, and
the total Roman Catholics at very nearly
6,500,000. In the past seventy five years
they have risen from one-sixtieth Of our
to the growth of their system we find that
in 1900 they possessed in this country
one bishop and fifty-three priests. They
now have one prince cardinal, seven
archbishOps, forty two bishops, three mitred
abbots, 3lO0 priests, sixty.tive Roman Ca
tholic colleges, fifty-six converts Of men,
and lS9 converts of women. Of their
wealth we have no statistics sufficiently re-
liable to place in juxtaposition with those
we have given, but it is known to be
and completely at the control of
the central power. No Roman Catholic,
however poor, was ever known to complain
at the demands of the Church upon his
purse-Cincinndf Times.

PRE- PAIRING CUCUMBERS FOR THE
TABLE.


Cucumbers are on the black list
of most writer's against unhealthful
food. They are the one vegetable
against which people are always
warned +; and yet, if properly pre-
pared, there need never be any dam
ger from even an immoderate use of
them, with the advantage that the
proper preparation, besides being
wholesome. is incomparably most
palatable. For cucumbers "sliced"
in huge chunks and eaten with a
little pepper and vinegar we never
could get uf an appetite. No won
der that if eaten thus the crude
juice of the cucumber should poison
the stomach. We mad as lieve eat
so many slices Of raw pumpkin,
and believe they would be about as
healthful.
The proper method Of preparing
cucumbers is as follows Pick the
cucumbers In the cool otfthe morning
and as soon before using as possible.
(It is important that cucumbers
should be fresh.) Then remove the
outer rind and cut in the thinnest
possible slices. Sprinkle little
salt over these then cover and
leave for 5, 10, or even ID minutes.
Our practice is to put the. slices or
plate and cover with another
The salt extracts the juices from
the cucumber more perfectly as th'
slices are thinner. After standing
few minutes shake thoroughly anC

vegetable peculiarly grateful TO tn
