How To Choose "A Good Cow.

A Grumpy horn is a good indication,
a full eye another. Her head should be
small and shert. Avoid a Roman nose,
which indicates thin milk and little of

sunk between the eyes. Notice that she
IS what stock men call a good handler
SKIN soft and loose, like the skin on a
dog. Deep from the loin to the udder,
and a very slim tail. A COW with these
marks never fails to be a good mixer.

CHARLES MORGAN AND THE
LOUISIANA AND TEXAS
RAILROAD.

1t nppears that Mr.. Charles
Morgan has not the slightest in
tention OF nvuiling himself al the
Charter granted him at the late
session of the Legislature, beyond
the effect it has OF granting him
fuller privileges along that part
of his road purchased from the
old OpeIousas and Great Western
Railroad Company from Morgan
City to New Orleans and the
additional result of turning over
to him, bound hand and foot, the
Corporation of Morgan City.
MIR. Morgan employees rushed
through the bill at the late session
with great ease aud 1t was even
asserted that plans and speciaea-
tons for certain bridges to be
constructed along the contem-
plated line had been completed.
Now, one of these same en-
ployees, high IN rank, who was
most activein securing the pas
sage of the bill, who was daily up
on the floor Of one Or the other
of the House of the General
Assembly willie the bill was pend
ing, calmly asserts, that /" if Mr.
Morgan has the remotest idea OF
building q load to Texas through
South Western Louisiana, no one
in New Orleans knows anything OF
it."
Mr.. Morgan, with the short
piece of load from New Orleans
to Berwick's Eay, with bis line
Of ships to Galveston, and with
the controlling influence in two
Texas Roads leading to Calves
ton, smiles ut the gullibility of the
Louisiana Legislature, which has
in it's seeming stupidity, given blm
charter, which does not compe!
him to build loot of railroad M
South Western Louisiana. vet has
the elect at preventing other capl-
talists from attempting 1T.
Some Of the ,nemhefs of the
General Assembly we're informed
that this wonid be the result When
they voted Mr.. Morgan this mug
nifcent franchise, Vet so trustful
were they, that they were conf
depi that they would go to the
next session in MIR. Morgan's ears.
The action of the Legislature
postponed the building of a nail
road through Attakapas at least
two wears longer than otherwise,
for if we have been correctly in
formed, Mr. Morgaus interests
are opposed, not only to the build
ing 81 this road by him, but by any
one else.
Let the Legislature repair the
injury it has done rs much ms pos
sible, by repeating this charter,
and offering inducements to some
company that will build road.
