Mr.. Fl. B. Samuels called to see us
this morning. He is one OF the most
energetic planters of the Fourth ward.

Colfax Chronicle: From Capt. John
Brogan, who was in Colfax last Thurs

the n o. Pacific railroad, on the way
down from Shreveport, are now on the
eighty-third mile, and that the party
who worked up from Alexandria to Mo
nette's ferry have finished the one hun
dredth and fourth mile from Shreveport
This leaves bnt twenty-one miles of
track to be laid before Alexandria and
Shreveport are connected.
Major NJ. r. Spelman, the deservedly
popular General Freight and Ticket
Agent Of the New Orleans Pacific Rail
road, arrived here by last thursdays

Oh Friday. We had the pleasure, in our.
sanctum, OF hearing him on the subject
of railroads, in which he is as thorough
ly versed as a man can be. The Major
predicts good times IN Louisiana after
the completion of the road system of
which the N. o. Pacific is the backbone.
Emigration, he says, will soon be settling
on the fertile lands t0be opened to them
by the great highway.
Pound Cake. is the sweet name of
colored boy, who has for several months
exposed the shortness OF cur police1nen's
legs. Pound Cake, is broth of boy.
Many are the rumpusses he has stirred
up in the churches and fairs given by
the colored folks. A race horse himself,
he laughed at the impotent efforts of the
police to catch up with him. Indeed,

to grief A trap was laid and Pound
Cake fell in it on last Saturday night.
He now lies in jail awaiting the settle
ment of his accounts, which event will
happen on Wednesday morning.
