st. Tammany parish is located
TWENTY-FIVE miles north of New Or
leans CovingtoI, the county site.
is ten miles further north, in the
interior, and is delightfully."- located
on the Bogue Falia.
IMMIGRANTS,
with a small amount of capital and
fair supply of industry and perse-
verance, cannot possibly do better
than locate in our parish. The eli
mate is as fine as any in the world.
The winters are generally mild, and
snow rarely falls. Spring opens
early in February, with blossoms
on the peach and ounce trees, and
vegetation comes rapidly forward.
The heat of summer is moderate,
and the unfailing breezes of the
evening refresh man and beast after
the labors of the day.
THE SOIL
is very product and admirably
adapted for raising sugar cane, cot
ton, oats, corn, rice, peanuts, etc.
The vine is indigenous, and yearly
bears large harvests of delicious
fruit. Oranges. pears, peach, plums,
gu Ices, figs and pecans thrive we'll.
CATTLE AND SHEEP
Craze upon our pine lands through
out the year, and seldom are fed in
winter, thus making st. Tammany
the slock-growers' home. Farming
and stock lands can be purchased at
rates varying from 81 to IS per
acre, and Government lands to
actual settlers
WATER POWER.
There is an abundance, of water
power, already improved, inviting
the attention of manufacturers. We
have no doubt small factory, such
as already abound in Alabama and
Georgia, for the purpose of con-
verting our cotton crop into yarn,
would prove q paying investment.
FIRE CLAY
is found in abundance, as we'll AS
CLAWS suitable for pottery ware of
the very finest texture, purely white,
and free from sand or grit. Per-
sons having a practical knowledge
of such business would soon realize
a fortune in manufacturing and
shipping such wares to the New
Orleans market.
MANUFACTURE OF GLASS.
Sand suitable for the manufacture
of glass is also abundant all along
the banks of the Bogue Falia, above
the town of Covington. 1t mas been
practically tested by Pittsburg
manufacturers, and found to con-
tain all the necessary properties to
produce the finest glassware.
CONVICTION,
the county site, contains about
eight hundred inhabitants, and is
the best business point in the par
ish, commanding much of the trade
of both st. Tammsny and Washing
ton parishes. The mail from New
Orleans arrives three times q week,
per steamer New Camelia, and
there is some talk of building .
telegraph line.
At present there is no mill or
mandatory of any kind in Coving-
ton. Building sites for marufac-
turing purposes can be had on the
most favorable terms, and every
facility will be offered for immi-
grants to this parish.
To all honest and industrious inn
migrants who may wish to settle in
st. Tammany, Hearty welcome is
extended and protection guaranteed
in their respective occupations.

AVIOLATEDLAW


 Much lava great deal too much-is made in Washington, but enforcement of law is no better there than in some other places. Indeed, the capital of this country has very unenviable reputation in this respect.
 One of the laws which seems to be broken with impunity in Washington is the license law, which, by the way, is very liberal one. Recently the pastors of the city, in conjunc- ton with some of the best citizens, under took to induce the District commissioners to enforce this law. There was no fanaticism in this movement. All that was asked was the enforcement of the license law as it ex- ists, and no false construction of it was sug- gested Postmaster General Maynard at- tempted to assist the movement by insisting that the government has the same rightsas property holders to object to the establish ment of grog shops on the squares where the public buildings are situated. The attorney of the District gave legal opinion that MT Maynard's claim was well founded The commissioners then appealed to the Presi- dent, and he again referred the question to Mir. Riddle, the District attorney, who again affirmed his 4opinion in still more foreible terms. MT. Maynard. however. was not supported, and the violation of the license law has continued, and the opportunity of clearing out the grog shops about the depart ments, which continually tempt the large body of clerks, has been allowed to pass in spite of the fact that the law officer of the District has decided that the existing law fully meets the case.
 In view of the failure to induce the Dis trict commissioners to enforce the law and the failure of an effort to prevail upon the President to compel them to enforce it, the ministers of Washington at their meeting Monday passed the following resolutions:
 Whereas, The commissioners of the Dis trict of Columbia have failed to enforce the liuuor law, and have manifested their sympa- thy with traffic which is fruitful source of disorder, vice and crime, and
 Whereas, The Pastors Union has earnest 1v and steadfastly sought the enforcement of the law in the interest of protection to pub lie morals, therefore be it
 Resolred, That the supremacy of the v1o- lated law, the peace and quiet of the com munity, and the protection of the pubic morals, demand the appointment of commls- sioners who will faithfully and justly execute the law regulating the liquor traffic.
 ResoEUed, That public meeting be held at such place as the committee may determine on Sunday next at quarter past two o'clock, to give expression to the views of citizens In favor of temperance and morality.
 It is to be hoped that these commissioners, who have violated their oaths and defed the best sentiment of the community which they affiict. can be made to feel the weight of that sentiment From what has already taken place, however, this seems doubtful.

The end of the celebrated Oneida commit
 nifty has come, and there is now new or
 eanization called ''the Oneida community,
 limited" with paid up capital of $500, coo
 in S25 shares The president, Erastus H.
 Hamilton, was the right-han man of John
 Humphrey Moves, the founder of the old
 community. Dr. Thomas H. Moves, son of
 the founder, is secretary of the new commit
 nity Wayland Smith, the business manager
 of the American SociaEst, now takes charge
 of the hardware business, and ". A. Hinds,
 editor of the Socialist, is assistant in the can ming works. Mrs. H. E. Joslyn superlntends the silk manufactures, and every way the community becomes merely an association for pecuniary profit. The Utica Herald thinks that this commercial feature of the Oneida and Wallingford communities is all that has
 held them together, and sees defeat in every attempt of the sort its terms of existence, whether at Oneida or Utah, depending onthe inspiration of master spirit or upon the community's business prosperity; one or the other, or both, being lost, the scheme ends.

The Puget Sound Argus is much interested in the rish discoveries of gold which are said to have been made in Alaska. The story is that very rich placer diggings have been found at and near Takon in stretch of surface twenty miles long and eight miles wide, and that good pay dirt is the gratifying result of the work that has been done. The A7yus fur ther says that Ion the mainland, outside the coast range, between Aux and Schuck, the most extraordinary and wonderful dis coyery has been made of gold, silver and ga- lena. The assays go into the thousands- one lot of ore showing $S, ,O00 to the ton. The gold can be seen with the naked eye, and can be felt by blind man. new mining dis trict has been formed, and named after Har- ris. the diseoyerer He has taken up town site of 160 acres of land, situated on the coast" Another discovery is that of valu- able Iodes of silver and argentiferous galena north of Cross Sound, some of the rock as- saved yielding as high as $1so in silver and $40 in lead to the ton. These pleasing tales may all be true and they may not. If they are a great deal of money will yet be lost in Alaska mines.

A decision rendered by New York court will interest all travellers. A man bought ticket in St. Louis September 21st for New
 York On the face of it was an agreement that it was good for continuous trip, but
 must be used on or before the date as can celled by punch on the margin, and that if the holder failed to comply with the agree
 ment either of the companies might refuse to accept the ticket and demand a full regu- lar fare. The date cancelled on the margin
 was September 26. The holder of the ticket stopped on the way at several places and got on a train of the New York Central $ Hud- son River railroad at Rochester on the after noon of the 26th of September. He travelled upon the ticket until he arrived at Hudson at 3 o'clock on the morning of the 27th. The conductor then said he must pay his fare to New York, as his ticket had expired at mid night. He refused to do so and was put of the train. He brought suit in the Court of CoEsmon Pleas for damages, and on the trial before Judge Van Brunt the complaint was dismissed upon the ground that the plaintiff should have come upon continuous trip af- ter starting The General Term, Judge Van Hoesen giving the opinion, affirmed the judgment upon the ground, however, that

A railroad is to be built on ire in Russia. Cronstadt is five miles from the coast and eighteen from the capital. In the summer communication is easily and cheaply main tained by means of steamers, but when the Gulf of Finland becomes coated with ice, Cronstadt has to depend for transport to and from the island upon number of rough little sledges, never trustworthy and always dear. The inconvenience of this system has led the Baltic Railway company to obtain permission of the government to throw light line of rails across the ice to the island. The un- dertaking will not be beset with any serious obstacles, and it is believed that it can be successfully accomplished in eight or nine days. As soon as the ice is reported sufh- ciently strong by the engineers, gangs of la borers will proceed to lay down sleepers on the flat frozen surface, freezing them into po- sition by means of few buckets of water. The rails will then be fixed on, and light trains will convey passengers and goods dl- rect to their destination. The only real diff culty about the enterprise is the ability of the ice to support heavy weights, but as it is rarely less than yard thick in this quarter of the Gulf of Finland, and is supported at intervals by sandbanks, the engineers them selves anticipate no trouble on this score.
