4 LONG bridge over the Volga, in
Russia, has recently been completed.
The width of the river is nearly mile,
and as it is liable to heavy spring floods.
the piers, of which there are fourteen,
had to be built 100 feet above mean
water level, the depth Of the river be
ing more than 80 feet. The girders.
364 feet long and 90 wide, were riveted
together ON the right bank of the river.
and then hoated to their position.

Notice to Our Patrons.

While returning thanks to the patrons
of the CAplroLlAN for the many favors
and the liberal support they have seen
fit to bestow upon the paper, as is the
custom, we take occasion to inform our
subscribers and advertisers that we will
consider their subscription and adver
tising contracts renewed for the ensu-
ing year on the same terms as for the
past one, unless we receive from them
notification to the contrary.
Our advertising friends can have their
advertisements altered Mt any time they
may desire; in short, we are ready and
willing to do anything that will adj
vance their interests.
1t is our purpose to enlarge and i'm
prove the paper, assoon az the difficult
ties surrounding the removal of the
Capitol are fxally settled. Until then
we crave the indulgence Of our patrons
Q
Their intelligence affords us every justi-
fication for present deficiencies.
Until then, kind friends!

The Mass Meeting To Day.

We are glad to see that our good citi-
zcns are to assemble to-day, to devise
means to encourage and promote the
labor and agricultural interests of our
parish, which of lato have been serious
ly interfcrcd with through various causes.
All kinds of rumors have been put in cir
culation to alarm our colorcd population,
by evil disposed persons and by others
who have appeared in our midst for the
purpose of recruiting laborers for other
sections Of the country. There is a time
wMcM patience ceascs TO Oe " virtue, AMI
energetic action is necessary to preserve
the public peace and to protect the COM
mon welfare Of community. Yet tho
meeting speak out firmly, enunciatiny
the resolve that the laws will be strictly
enforced to their fullest extent against
all Offenders, thereby insUring complete
protection to both the 1ab0rcr and the
planter. In tho meantime, it is neces-
sary, too, to lct it be known to labor
drnmmers that their coming at the pres
cnt juncture is q source of irritation, and
that it will be wise, to say the least, for
such to seek other fields than ours. Com
mittecs should be appointed in each ward
Of the parish, whose duty it will be to
report all nnwarrantable actions, in or
der that evil-doers may be brought to
account promptly.

b Godey's Lady's Book for February.

Cones full Of interest and beauty. The
best 'Darley' picture yet given is the
exquisite one illustrating scene in
"Evangeline." Every department is
full of attractive matter for the fair read
ers, whose bright eyes grow brighter, as
each month they welcome this most
popular of periodicals. 1t seems to be
the determination of the publishers to
keep ahead of all competitors, and they
certainly succeed in this object. Chris
tian Reid continues her new novel,
"Roslyn's Fortune" in most attractive
number of pages Never was more
brilliant story offered to the public, if
one may judge by tho sparkling vivacity
of the opening chapters. The bewitch.
ing heroine is in strong contrast to the
"Gentle Belle" who won our favor last
year, but it would be hard to say which
type of girlhood is the most fascinating.
The "Rosebud Garden of Girls" follows
the fortunes of Delphine, the bright
little widow, whose love story is devel-
oped in several interesting pages. Every
page of literary matter is of the highest
kind, and the February number will be
warmly welcomed by all appreciative
readers. We will furnish Gody's Lady's
Book and the CAPITOLIAN Mt the low
price Of 1915 per annum.

The St. James Hotel, New Orleans,
under tho management of Messrs. Leake
and Carrahcr, is beyond question one of
the best kept institutions of the kind in
the Crescent City. Those of our citi-
zens who will have occasion to 90 down
to see the carnival, either singly or with
their families, could not find anywhere
more comforta BILE rooms or better serv-
ed table than at the ST. James. Mr..
Leake, formerly of Bayou Sara, is al
ways on hand to make every one feel
perfectly at home about his popular es-
tablishment. There is no end to the
kind treatment and attention that one
receives at the hands of the managers
and attendants. For all this the most
reasonable charges are made. Our own
experience justifes us in recommending
this conveniently located hotel to our
friends and readers.

That Sweet Contract

The latest improvement in Mr.. Hayes
civil reform service is shiningly illustra-
ted in these parts by one Geo. +. Brott,
q revived relic of the Beast Butler re-
gime in New Orleans, an ex-bummer and
lightning descendant of gun, who, in
those halcyon days, if we are correctly
Informed, sat as q representative in the
dclectablc Convention Of 1864, which
august body stole the Capitol from Baton
Rouge to locate it in New Orleans, far
from the music Of rebel shells. Honest
Brott has been given tho contract to
carry the mails from Donaldsonville to
Red River Landing-this for a douceur
of forty -four thousand dollars a year.
Ever since we've had this daily mail
tho news from abroad reaches us semi
monthly by means of three scrub tugs,
which are always on the sick list. That's
the sort Of hair-pin to which we are
treated in the shape of mail contrac-
tor!
If this service was intrustcd to a pro-
per person, the arrangement would prove
a great convenience to the people along
the coast and the Red River country.
For instance, two fast side wheel steam
ers, one starting at Donaltlsonville and
the other at Red River Landing, could
easily meet and exchange both mails
and passengers at Baton Rouge-the
