The North Louisiana Railroad Bill.
Tn an editorial on this subject, the Nerd

In an editorial on this subject, the Nerd
ian Democrat, of March 25, says:
It has long since ceased to be matter OF
doubt that the completion OF q road from
Shreveport to Vicksburg was pnnhc ne
cessity-that once completed, IT WILL De inc
best paying road in the United States. there
is not question, as it will be the great hlgn-
way from East to West, and wee versa
But the real ground of Wheelocks opposii-
ton is this: The North Louisiana rail-
road can be completed from monroe 70
Shreveport in much less time than
Shreveport, and besides this, the great
length of his road will make cheap frelghts
almost impossible. The North Louisiana
railroad will connect at the Mississippi
with those immense steamers, and cotton
can be delivered in New Orleans from
Shreveport, and freights in Shreveport
from New Orleans by this route at much
less than by any other. There is NO doubt
that Wheelock has good grounds for his
opposition from his standpoint, but in the
name of the people, and in the interest Of
chaan TRANSPORTATION, we protest against
ANYTHING more than legitimate rivalry.
If the business, merchants and people OF
New Orleans will stop moment and con.
slider. thew will see that the completion OF
this road will be of greater benefit to their
city than the completion of any other Pro
posed line; that it can not by any possioie
means work an injury. but will anord
quick and cheap transportation for al thls
section of Louisiana, and likewise NORTH
and West Texas, to New Orleans, much OF
the trade of which has for years been SEEK
ing other points.

A VERY PLEAsANT OccAsIoN.-Last even
ing Ar. Leon Dertoli, president of Hook
and Ladder Company No. 4, was the recip-
lent of . compliment that he may treasure
~ long - he lives. At the quarterly meet
ing of his company his friends presented
him with one of the finest badges ever seen
or made in this city. Members Of his fire
company surprised him by the presentation.
His fellow members simply wished to pay
Mr.. Bsrtoli . compliment, and they sue
ceeded admirably. Mr.. o. E. Sullivan,
foreman of the company, made the presen-
tation ct the Navigation Of his fellow MEM
bees. The badge was manufactured by Mr..
John o. Meyers, whose place of business is
on Old Levee near Barracks street.
After this proceeding, Mr.. Bertoli, who
thought he had taken kindly advantage
of his friends, presented the company with
photograph of his truck, q picture taken
ON the fourth of March, without the know
ledge of those present. The illustration is
prettily framed. and doubtless will remain
in the truck house rs long Is the depart
ment lasts.

REQUELME ONCE MORE.-Requelme lie q
soon man on q financial operation, when
only few soft men and women are inter
ested. Requelme deals in Havana lottery
tickets, and he has made many solid dollars
in tho business. Hisstyle of operating is to
visit such persons a are in the habit of buy
ing lottery tickets, and having sold them
few numbers, he once more calls ON them
to say that they have drawn large prizes,
ct the Same time showing what he pretends
10 Q telegram from Havana. Knowing the
numbers that his dupes have purchased, he
easily gulls them by the pretended dispatch,
and on it he induces them to take several
more tickets. After that he tells the per.
sons that for tho information he has fur
nished they should make him = present Of
something, and usually his innocent victims
give him something, say IS or SO. They
xre directed to take their tickets to q Ger.
tain place, but when they find the locality
they discover that it is . vacant lot, and
then for the first time begin to understand
that they have been tricked. Mr.. Julius
Dumas, special officer for the Louisiana
Lottery Company, having learned Of the
foolishness of Requelme, went for him on
selling unauthorized lottery tickets,
and caught him up. He was yester.
day before Judge Staes and fined
&25. in default of payment to serve
five days in the Parish Prison. He chose
to serve the term designated, and went to
prison, but the moment his sentence ex-
pires Mr.. Dumas has another warrant to
take him before Judge Evans on like
charge, when il is likely that he will take
another dose of fine or imprisonment. This
fellows mode Of operations has now been
exposed, and if our readers are caught by
him they deserve all they get, or lose.

General Harney's Sale of his Farm.

General William 5. Harvey has just sold
his fine farm, comprising 100 acres, near
Sullivan, in Franklin county, Missouri, to
Colonel A. c. Tichnor, of this city, for
$65000.
There is on it stone mansion with thirty
eight rooms, seven or eight farm houses,
which, together with the agricultural value
of the lands and improvements, is c0nsid-
cred . valuable purchase for the sum.
The probability is that the hidden treas
ure underlying the purchase are of more at
traction to Colonel Tichnor than the agri-
cultural advantages. 1t is understood that
General Harvey, having disposed of this
property. will devote himself with youth
full energy to opening new farm near
Meramec station.-St Louis Republican.

The story has recently come to light that
some years ago one Of the King of Prussia
soldiers stole out OF Catholic church the
jewels that adorned Madonna. He owned
possession, but denied the theft, saying
that the Madonna had given them to him.
The King. therefore. sent for some Romish
priests and asked them if there was any
thing impossible for Madonna. They
were shocked at the question, and affirmed
her omnipotence. ain that case," replied
the King, II can not condemn the soldier,
but will do something else. I will forbid
him ever to receive any moro presents from
q Madonna
