IMMIGRATION.
KEACH1E. DeSoto Parish.

!
August l. 1878.
To the Editor Of the Democrat:
Inasmuch as our last Legislature saw lit
to refuse aid for the establishment Of an i'm
migration bureau upon scale sufficiently
large to accomplish any good, important
facts that might induce immigration which
should be scattered broadcast over the earth,
will never be known for want Of means to
publish and to disseminate them.
AS g. dernier resort we beg the newspapers
Of the State to publish few facts, which may
perhaps attract attention and be as bread
cast upon the waters.
For North Louisiana we can safely state,
for the information Of all parties seeking new new
homes, that now is the time to buy land and
locate in this part OF the State for two impor-
tant reasons
/. Lands are cheaper than they ever will be
again.
The building of the New Orleans and
Shreveport and the Shreveport and Monroe
roads amount to an absolute certainty In the
| near future. These roads, with Red river,
| will give us the very best facilities for cheap
transportation, the only drawback this section
| has had to contend against No one can
| doubt but that the building of these roads
will increase the price OF land at least fifty per
cent.
3. North Louisiana will soon harvest the
| largest corn crop, ever before made: This in
dispensable article to an immigrant, corn, can
be bought this fall at from twenty-five to
| forty cents.
! North Louisiana has cheap land and cheap
| corn to offer all immigrants who are able to
buy and we beg all such to come and look at
our section before purchasing elsewhere
| Very respectfully, W. $. FRIERsoN,
President North Louisiana Immigration So

markets with live cattle have been cutting
rates SO savagely during the past few
months, that the business became unprofit-
able, people getting their beef too cheap and
at The expense Of the roads: No railroad man
liked to say Just what rate his road was car
rying cattle for, so O. meeting OF the repre-
sentatives Of The principal companies was
held here Yesterday to settle it, The rail-
roads represented were the New York Cen
trail, New York, Lake Erie and Western Penn
sylvania, Lake Shore and Michigan Central
Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago, Canada
Southern, Wabash and other Western roads.
The Baltimore and Ohio was not represented.
After considerable debate resolution was
adopted agreeing to fix the rate for trans
portation Of cattle on basis Of sixty cents
from Chicago to New York. The new rate
takes effect Immediately after passage.
The meeting then adjourned to meet at
Saratoga, simultaneously with the meeting OF
railroad presidents called to meet there

NEW YORK. Aug. s.-The Herald says: A
difference OF opinion exists in boating circles
as to the relative merits Of the three unuues-
tionably fast four-oared crews-the Coiun@
bias, Shoe-wae-c -cae-mettes and Atantas, An
opportunity Is at hand to settle the question,
and as 1t Is not likely to ever come again, it
should not be lost. The Columbias will soon
be at home. the "Shoes" are reported likely to
be In the national regatta at Newark, on the
twenty first, while the Atlantas are doubtless
available at very short notice.
None are far enough out Of condition not to
be all right in q fortnight or three weeks.
Now let them row abreast race Of q mile and
tive-sixteenths, the Henley distance, on the
Hudson river, say on the twenty-thlrd III
stant, Or at the METROPOLITAN regatta, on the
twenty eighth, on the Hudson river. No con-
test ever rowed on New York waters would
be more exciting. We should then see whether
the "Git Thars" would win, or whether the
Atlantas really outrowed them at Watkins.
Columbia, also, would show her pace, for it
will be remembered that the present team
never raced at home, as q crew. TO be sure,
she will need one new man. but she has plenty
OF good ones at home besides Mr.. Eldridge,
the substitute, she took abroad, Columbia
asked for another chance at the "Git Thars'

glorious fight. and plenty of doubt before
hand as to the result.

TME ECLIPSE.
An Awful Catastrophe In Texas the Resull
of the Eclipse.
[St. Louis Globe.Democrat.]


In the dark path of the late eclipse across
Texas, 116 miles In width, there were thou
sands of ignorant people, both white and
black, who had not heard that anything Pc
culiar was about to happen. Many OF these
people the eclipse surprised at work in their
fields. Many ludicrous scenes are reported re-
Especially on the plantation OF United States
Senator Coke, near Waco was it that the ne
groes went to praying, believing verify na that
tragedy in johnson county may be set doWa
to the eclipse. Ephraim Miller, colored, with
his family of wife and four children, lived near
Buchanan, in that county, whittier he had re- re-
moved from Tennessee six months ago. On
the morning OF the eclipse he said he had
heard the world was coming to an end that
evening, and il so, he intended to be
so sound asleep the trumpet OF
the Angel Gabriel could not awaken him.
When the eclipse commenced and the dark
ness OF totality came on he ran from the field
to his house with a hatchet in his hand. He
was followed by a negro woman named
Nancy Ellison, who also thought the world
was coming to an end. AS she got to the
house Millers wife rushed out under the
same delusion, and looking up at the beauti,
ful corona OF light around the black moon
screamed. Come sweet ehariotg' at the sans

received with much dissatisfaction by the
it as a mistake, tending to ALLEVIATE the zeal

although the princess may outwardy con-

The Reported Assassination of Bissnarca
E1ntrnG.

LONDON, Aug. 8.-There is no truth In the
dispatch from Vienna announcing q successful
attempt to assassinate Prince Bismarck
There is even doubt as to whether the dis
patch was sent from Vienna at all. The
theory advanced Is that plot for the murder
Of the Chancellor had been concerted and was
terday was the day fixed for it's elimination,
and that one Of the Socialists here anticipat-
ing that the deed had been done, fabricated q
dispatch p,lrporting to come from Vienna and
containing this news and sold 1t to the Chron-
icte.
Another opinion is that the Berlin police
have been Instructed to invent fictitious
plot against Prince Bismarck, with the view
of working upon the feelings of the Emperor,
that he may withdraw his opposition to the
execution OF Hoedel This latter opinion
meets with little favor here. The first one is
considered more probable.
