"s. Iammany parish is located
fxcnty-two miles north of New Or
i"sns. CoVingtoI, the county site
= ten miles further north, in the
Interior, and is delightfully."- located
on the Bogue Falia.
IMMIGRANTS,
with small amount of capital and
!" fair supply of industry and perse-
,ssrance, cannot possibly do better
than locate in our parish. The eli
initte is es fine as any in the world.
Inc winters are generally mild. and
SHOW rarely falls. Spring opens
early IN February, with blossoms
on the peach and ounce trees, and
Vegetation comes rapidly forward.
Inc beat 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 productive, and admirably
adapted for raising sugar cane, cot
ton, oats, corn. rice, peanuts, etc.
The vine is indigenous, and yearly
hears large harvests of delicious
fruit. Oranges, pears, peach, plums,
ounces, figs and pecars thrive well.
CATTLE AND SHEEP
craze upon our pine lands through
out the year, and seldom are fed in
winter, thus making st. Tammany
tine seock-growers' home. Farming
and stock lands can be purchased at
rates varying from 81 to SIS per
acre, and Government lands to
actual settlers
WATER POWER.
There is an abundance, Of water
power, already improved, inviting
she attention of manufacturers. We
laYe nc doubt small factory, such
rs already abound in Alabama and
Georgia, for the purpose of con-
yerting our cotton crop into yarn,
would prove paying investment.
FIRE CLAY
is found in abundance. rs well 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
. fortune in manufacturing and
shipping ouch wares to the New
Orleans market.
MANUFACTURE OF GLASS. !
Sand suitable for the manufacture
of glass is also abundant all along
tae banks Of the Bogue Falia, above
the town of Covington. 1t has 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. Tammany and Washing
ton parishes. The mail from New
Orleans arrives three times week,
per STEINER New Camelia, and
there is some talk of building {

REID's RUmPUs.
Trials and TribuIafIOns OF the
Rev. MIR. Reed, COlOred.

ParSon r. Reid, Of the First Bap-
fist church, on Sycamore street, Chel-
sea, was reelected by a large majority
at an election held last Sunday. AT
his request a squad Of police were on
hand to prevent anticipated troubles.
The recent -dissensions among the
flock, whose shepherd Parson Reid
has been for fifteen years, were caused
by the purchase Of lot upon which to
build a new church. 1t is stated that
some Of the members desired to give
a mortgage on the lot to raise funds
enough for a church picnic, to which
Parson Reid strongly objected.
A LEDGER reporter interviewed
Rev. Mr.. Reid the other day, with the
following result:
"Your congregation seems to be d.
vided, Mr.. Reid, said the reporter.
"Yessir; the congregation is in a
muss."
Something about a lot, wasn't it?"
"Yessir; but that would never have
come up 'ceptin' for a accident which
c%oncurred to me-" said the parson,
with a mysterious air.
what was it?"
Il don't talk about this thing much,
Mr.. Purporter; but" continued the
reverend man, dropping his voice TO a
stage whisper, "I've been tricked!"
"Tricked?"
"Yessir; I've been fixed See
how one side of my mouth has been
drawn down? Notice the fingers Of
my right hand? A spell has been put
upon me"
Perhaps it is paralysis" suggested
the LEDGER man.
mo, SIR"
Gould no doctor relieve your"
"That's what made me know I've
been tricked," he answered. "All
the white folks doctors give it up, aud
| sent for a hoodoo doctor, who gave
me some medicine, and l was getting
we'll fast when he had to stop and
stole the medicine"
Stole it?"
"Yessir. He found out he was
injuring hisself. He was the same one
who fixed me, and to cure me after
ward was to kill hisself."
DO you believe in conjurers?"
"The Bible tells us there are CON
%jurers and that the devil was the
father Of conjurers. Why, don't you
know Job was conjured by the
devil?"
Reminded of Job by a boil which
grew on all the chairs in the reporter
ial sanctum. the writer turned to
soothe the nearest one, and when he
looked up the Rev. Mr.. Reid had de-
parted.

A NUISANCE.
Negro and White Boys Raising
PandenOnium at Night.

The rising generation is in a bad
way, in at least one n~eighborhOod in
this city, and that under the very
shadow of the Christian church on
Linden street. Half a dozen negro
boys in hat vicinity have goats and
wagons, another half a dozen or so
have goats without wagons. These
boys are among the most vicious,
worthless, low-down vagabonds Of
their race-a curse to the community
that contains them. AS soon as
twilight sets in they assemble with
their goats and wagons on Linden, on
Mulberry or St. Martin street for an
evenings frolic. This attracts a large
crowd Of both white and black boys,
many of the whites being the
the children of respectable parents,
who certainly do not know what sort
Of company their boys are keeping
and what pernicious habits they are
liable to form. When this crowd gets
together the worst side Of human ma
ture seems to break out. They are
not only noisy and offensive to the
whole neighborhood, but profane. vul-
gar and blasphemous. The old Five
Points Of New York or the slums Of
London could not furnish a worse
gang of reckless young d~esperadoes.
They make night hideous, drive de-
cency from the street and put the
blush of shame to many who
are in their own yards or
doorways. Nearly all the white
boys in the neighborhood are in
attendance, and take a hand in the
cheering, yelling, hOoting and bar
barrie yahooiDg. Those who go to
look on merely seem to catch the in.
lection, and to be moved by an unex.
plainable spell of unqualified devil
ment. What are such boys to come
to? the road of the tramp. the peni-
Tertiary, the gallows, or the pauper's
scant diet and pinched features?
What kind of citizens will be pro.
duced from such a crowd, and what
a parents and thoughtful citizens
expect to be the outgrowth of this
state of affairs. 1t has come to such
a pass that many families are serious
ly disturbed, and the time has come
when the authorities should take
this matter in hand for the protection
Of society and the enforcement of law
and order. One citizen in the neigh
borhood, Mr.. A. j. Vienna, keeps his
boys away from these shameless,
young mobs, others seem not to care
or to be in blissful ignorance of what
is going on 1t is a bad state Of affairs,
which should lie corrected and broken
up by the CO. cooperative forces of the
law and of law-abiding citizens.

The following is certainly one of the
most remarkable instances Of the kind
we have ever heard Of. Miss Sue e.
Curtis, who is now visiting at Hart
land, Caldwell county, writes us that
Mrs. William York, who resides near
there, and who has been sadly afflicted
for eighteen years with a complication
of diseases, and who has not walked OF
spoken a word for thirteen years, on
last Monday was taken worse, and was
thought by all TO be dying, when she
recovered her long lost power Of speech
and called in a distinct voice to her
little boy Vester. She has been talking
necessarily ever since, confining heI
talk mostly to religion, praying for
her family and others to meet her in
heaven. She has also sung several
hymns, among them 1.-THE Old Ship OF
Zion" and tells them she will soon
leave them to go where there is nc
more suffering for ner. For the en-.
tire thirteen years she has been utterly
helpless, lying all the time in one po-
sition, looking on her family, but
unable to speak a single word to them;
but. being a devoted Christian, she
has borne all with Christian resigna-
ton. This we know is authentic, as
Miss Curtis says she visited Mrs.
York and received the INFORMATION as
given above.
