ST. TAMMANY PARISH,
ITS LOCATION - HEALTH
PRODUCTS-MANUFAC-
TURING AND AGRI-
CULTURAL AD-
VANTAGES,
ETC.

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 Bosue Falia.
IMMIGRANTS,
with small amount of capital and
a 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, aud
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 productive, and admirably
adapted for raising sugar cane, cot
ton, oats, corn. rice, peanuts, etc.
The vine is indigenous, and yearly
bears large barvests of delicious
fruit. Oranges, pears, peach. plums,
ounces, figs and pecans thrive well.
CATTLE AND SHEEP
craze upon our pine lands through
out the year, and seldom are fed in
winter. thus making st. Tammany
the soock-growers' home. Farming
and stock lands can be purchased at
rates varying f,om 81 to So 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 q small factory, such
lis already abound in Alabama and
Georgia. for the purpose of con-
verting our cotton crop into yarn,
would prove paying investment.
FIRE CLAY
is found in abundance. as we'll as
CLAWS suitable for pottery ware Of
the very finest texture, pnrely white,
and free from san,l or grit. Per
sons having practical knowledge
of such business would soon realiz.
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 has been
practically tested by Pittsburg
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 aud Washing
ton parishes. The mail from New
Orleans arrives three times a week.
per steamer New Camelia, and
there is some talk of building a
line.
At present there is no MIL or
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 i'm
migrants who may wish to settle in
St. Tammauy, Learty welcome is
extended and protection guaranteed
in their respective occupations.

ROCK OF AGES.

ROCK Oh ages, clelt lot me,
Let me hide myself in theer'
Sang the lady soft and low.
And her voices gentle flow
Rose upon the evening air,
"Kock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee r.
Yet she sang as oft she had
When her heart was gay and glad;
Sang because she felt alone,
Sang because her sonl had grown
Weary with the tedious day;
Sang, to while the hours away,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in theer'
Where the titful gaslight falls
On her fathers massive walls,
On the chill and silent street,
Where the light and shadows meet,
There the lady's voice was heard,
As the breath of night was Stirre
With her tones 50 sweet and clear,
Waiting up to God that prayer,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in theer'
Wandering, homeiesss, thro' the night,
Praying, tor the morning hight,
Pale and haggari, wan and weak.
With sunken eye and hollow cheek,
xr-ha
Had been wrecked in sin and strife;
One, q lost and only child,
One by sin aud shame defiled;
And her heart with sorrow wrung,
Heard the lady when she sung.
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee!"
Pausing, low her head she bent,
And the music as it went
Pierced her blacken'd soul and brought
Back 10 her (as lost in thought
Tremblingly she stood) the past.
And the burning tears fell fast.
As she called to mind the days
When she walked in virtues ways;
When she sang that very song,
With no sense of sin or wrong;
"Rock of Ages. cleft for me,
Let me hide myself il thee"
On the marble steps she knelt,
And her soul that moment felt
More than she could speak, as there
Quiverins. moved her lips in prayer,
And the God she had forgot
Smiled upon her lonely lot
Heard her as she murmured oft,
With an accent sweet and soft,
Rock Of Ages, cleft for ME,
Let me hide myself in thee"
Little knew the lady fair.
As she sang in silence there,
That her voiae had pierced a soul
That had livei meath sins control!
Little knew, when she had done,

It was indeed surprise as well as pleasure
to find che residence OF Mr.. Lorenz within the
enclosure not only comfortable but elegant,
but to see everywhere the refining influences
of female society. Seated In a handsomely
furnished parlor found Mrs. Lorenz, young
and pretty woman, who has dared the severity

Maine, and came here with her husband last
year. Her husband is a Russian from Odessa,
who has been agent for the Alaska CONNER
cial Company here for the past eight years.
Last year he took holiday and went into tne
United States, where he visited a friend In
Maine Then it was that he lost his beart and
found partner for life. His wife is culti-
waited and intelligent lady, and small but
well selected library gave token OF refined
taste in literature. One would naturally DC
to find house with walls covered with Morris
paper and carpet and chairs in keeping with
that style of decoration, so that scarcely Ielt

that it was disagreeable to me, either, to have
conversation invaded by the merry tones OF
two canary birds, who poured forth their well

Sudden Death,


Mrs. Hannah Bailey, widow of the late Tap
pan Bailey, died suddenly at her home in West
Newbury on Saturday evening, Oct. 22d. She
was engaged in her usual duties during the
day and retired at an early hour. Shortly after
o'clock she complained of pain in her stom-
ach and although medicine was given to re-
lieve her and a physician called, she lived but
two hours, and little after 10 o'clock she
passed away. Mrs. Bailey was born in West
Newbury Oct. s, 1892, and was accordingly in
her 90th year, and for woman of her age she
retained her faculties to remarkable degree.
Her hearing was good, her memory excellent,
and she would interest one for hours with
sketches of the customs and people OF three
quarters of century ago. Born in West
Newbury, where she always lived, she has en-
deared herself by her many noble qualities to
the townspeople who will greatly mourn her
loss. She lived to see her descendants to the
fifth generation, all of whom were present at
the funeral She was the mother Of eleven
children, seven of whom are now living

A Musical Marvel.

OF all the wondrous things to be seen and
admired at the "Old Mechanics Fair" now
being held in Boston, that marvel of inge-
nuity, the Mechanical Orguinette, seems to
call for especial mention. 1t is at once the
simplest. cheapest, most perfect and enjoyable
automatic musical instrument in the world. 1t
can be played by child, is perfect in execu-
ton and expression, and plays with equal pre-
cision the most classical and difficult music as
easily as the simple and popular melodies OF
the day. 1t is manufactured by the Mechani-
cal Orguinette Co., 831 Broadway, New York
(for whom Ditson, Haynes q Co., OF Boston,
are the sole N. K. agents., in all the various
forms and styles of musical instruments, from
the smaller sizes, which are operated with
crank, and cost SO and $40 each, to the great
Automatic pipe organ, 8 feet high, 8 feet long
and feet wide, and weighing 800 lbs. This
last instrument costs from $500 to $26Oo, has
10 stops governing 800 pipes, is furnished with
key board which can be used as In any ordin,
airy organ, or can be operated by the pedal
movement and the use of the various stops, and
made to execute music which would otherwise
require long course OF study ana arouous
practice. Among the intermediate sizes, we
notice the Cabinetto ($S0), with an ingenious

KEY board, and from to IA stops (from $l5O to
$3.50; the Musical Cabinet, with reed action
and bellows, and pedal movement (from $40 to
$3.50, and the Automatic Piano, small up.
right piano, operated by means OF pedals and
stops from $3.50 to 5000. The music is made
of heavy paper nicely perforated, and as the
price per foot is but nominal, it brings the en-

could be imagined. In the centre of the table
was the most superb cake, decorated on the
summit with the usual fashion and at the base
with smilax and cut flowers; around the whole
were twenty-one lighted tapers 1t is needless
to say that everything tasted good as it
looked, which was perhaps owing to the fact
that Mrs. Mcmillan has so far recovered from
her recent illness as to be able to give her per-
sonal supervision to the menu; also that one of
Miss Jennie's many accomplishments is a thor
ough knowledge of the art of cooking in all its
departments.
Miss Jennie was dressed beautifully in blue
silk and velvet, and her twenty-one years
seemed to have added new dignity to her
lovely face. Among the many distinguished
persons present were the following:-The emil
nent artist Mr.. B. Champney and his lovely
wife. Mr.. III, w. Ripley, DR.. w: Fl. Bragdon
and his beautiful wife, the jovial young DIR.
Sweat, Miss Helen Raymond Of Boston, be-
sides the following beautiful young ladies of
North Conway:-Misses Ella Eastman, Clara
Wallcott, Ella Sinclair, Della Eastman, Mary
Lancaster, Anna Wilson, Martha Goodwin,
Georgia Bowie and Gertrude Seavey, besides
many other ladies, forming as bright galaxy
of beauty as could be found gathered any
where. Mr.. Daniel Stewart, who, by his long
connection, has identified himself with the
"McMillan House, was constant in his en-
deavors that all should go off, as it did, per-
fectly.

CANT, attesting to the high esteem in which
Miss Mcmillan is held by her friends.

NORTH CONWAY, N H., Oct. 81, 1881.
The party given by Miss Jennie Mcmillan,
on the event of her twenty-frst birthday, last
Saturday evening, was in every respect the
most elegant and recherche of anything of the
kind ever given in North Conway. Notwith-
standing that the rain poured in torrents al
most every one who was fortunate enough to
be invited awaited themselves of the oppor-
tunity to taste of Uncle Johns time-honored
hospitality. The evening passed very pleas
antly with music by Miss Mcmillan and Miss
Raymond, also singing led by Mr.. L. Pitman,
until about 10 o'clock, when the guests were
ushered to the dining room, where was spread
long table loaded with every delicacy that
