Monroe to Monticello.

We referred, yesterday, to the
effort now being made to secure
the funds necessary to build
railroad from Monroe, Louisiana,
to Monticello, Arkansas. The,
subject is Of SO much Importance
to the commercial interests OF
New Orleans, that it cannot be
too often brought before the
mercantile community.
Some time ago, a. proposition
was made to extend the Little
Rock, Mississippi River and
Texas Railway from Collens'
Depot to Monticello. The mer-
chants Of this city, promptly sub
scribed the necessary funds, and
thereby secured q large and val
liable trade. Il is very probable
that this line will soon be extern
ded 10 Camden, and a large part
of Southern Kansas will thus be
afforded On outlet at all seasons
Of the year Nevertheless, the
people OF Southeastern Louisi-
ana, will not be able to reach a
railroad with Fber produce ex-,
cept by long haul overlsnd.
From Monroe to the Arkansas
line, the distance is forty-two
miles, and the distance thence to
Monticello is about the same.
The Vicksburg, Shreveport and
and Pacific Company offers to
take stock to the amount Of $685.
600, and the city Of Monroe q
like sum. The remainder must
be made up By private subscrip-
ton which should be done with
out difficulty. The merchants
of New Orleans could well afford
to subscribe the entire sum.
There are no finer cotton lands
in the world than are to be found
in the parishes Of, Ouac ! and
Morehouse, and the counties of
Ashley and Drew The popula-
ton is hardy, industrious and
well-to- do. Rhe saotten of those
counties come to New Orleans,
and their supplies are purchased
in this market. It is highly i'm
portant thai our. relations with
that section should be made even
more intimate than they now are.
The completion Of the pro-
posed line would give another all
rail route from this city to Pine
Bluff, and the consequent COM
potion would be most beneficial
to the commercial interests OF
this city. We hope and believe
the road from Monroe to Monti-
cello will soon be built.-[N. O.

A Free Press.

The New Haven Register IN
the following article has tersely
stated the petty annoyances to
which every paper 10 the land is
more or less subjected:
The beautiful idea OF getting
something for nothing is no.
where moro readily traceable'
than in newspaper Office.
| So much has been spoken,
written and sung about a ''free
press that people have come. to
accept the term in a sense ALTO
gether too literal.
II a man has scheme of any
kind terminating he just steps
into the editorial room and de-
tails it, with the remark, "Tm not
quite ready to advertise yet. but
q few words will help me along"
He gets the few words and never
gets ready to advertise.
| Two tickets admitting lady and
gent to the &c. r. x. NJ. IT'S
grand ball'' are expected to pro-
duce six-line local and a quar-
ter of column desc Upton of
the ladies' toilet after the ball is
over.
| Church fairs and the like are
worse than balls. They never
leave tickets, but demand more
space. because, otis matter of
news. and a help to the cause"
| Should a boy saw off his fin
ger, "Dr. @: 0. Plaster dressed
the wound with great skill, :"
would be a graceful way of stat
ing it, and besides, it is "unpro-
fessionai" to advertise.
| The patent rat trap man brings
in one OF his combinations of
wire and mouldy cheese bait,
sticks it under the editors nose
and explains how they catch 'em
every time .he spring works.
"It's something of interest to the
community, and if you put in a
piece save me about a dozen
papers" which he quietly walks
off with, as though he had be-
slowed q favor in allowing edi-
torial eyes to gaze on such a
marvel of intricacy.
Il An invitation ito come down
and write up our establishment"
is a deal more common than a
two square "ad'' from the same
, firm. Newspapers must be filled
up with something or other, you
know.
j The lawyer, with strong pre-
-ljudices against advertising, is
fond Of seeing his cases reported
lin full in the newspapers, with
/; an occasional reference to his ex.
. ceedingly able manner Of con
: Quoting the same: It is cheaper
; than advertising. -
In. fact everybody, from a ia
? lizard, who has an az to grind
: asks the newspaper to turn the
crank, and forgets to even say
!, thank you, bnt will kindly take 9
free copy Of The paper as par
