The recent rains filed the new
cisteru at our reporters house brimful
of nice, wholesome water; but it has
gone glimmeripg now, owing to its
careless construction. In making the
next one if the party who made this
will follow the instructions here given,
he will hear of no more similar com
plants. Paint thiekly on the inside
with mixture of two parts of melted
glue and one of linseed oil, boiled with
litharge. In forty-eight hourst the coat
ing will be so hard that the tank can
be filed with water.

wa. ita Mnrder?

On Thursday morning last the dead
body Of a white man was discovered
Near the north bank Of the lake, about
mile and half above town, by Wash
Berry, a colored man. The fact was
reported here to the authorities and DR..
Vim. Meyer, mayor and eE-oficio jus
tice of the peace and coroner, in com
pany with Constable Ryan and one or
two others, repaired at once to the
place designated and had the body re-
moved from the lake. There was no
necessity for the holding of an inquest,
though everything that it was possible
to do toward the identity of the IN
fortunate man was done. The body
was badly mutilated, it having evidently
been in The water some four or FIVE days.
1t was dressed in the ordinary garb of
a working man, and there was nothing
upon 1t to furnish the least clue as to
who be was or from whence he came.
The only articles found in his pockets
were an old pair of spectacles and one
nickel. There was evidence enough,
however, to satisfy those who viewed
the body that The remains were those
of an old man, and that he was not
known in this immediate vicinity. The
superstition is that be met his death
while attempting to walk across the
trestle work over the lake. The remains
were buried near where they were
found, upon the lake bank.

The rHexicnn-NntlennI.

We left the Mexican-N National rail-
road in our last, winding its way
through to Monterey, proposing to
cross fourteen states of the Republic Of
Mexico, and viii now speak of the
commercial and other advantages to be
derived from her connections in the
United States.
1t is true that large portion of the
fabrics worn by the Mexicans are i'm
ported from England, outside Of those
manufactured by themselves; for it
must be borne in mind that they have
cotton and silk mills of their own, al
though small and unable to supply the
demand and when this road penetrates
the center of that country the advan-
tages to be derived from the conpec-
ton will be appreciated in America.
And it seems to us that it would be
well for some of our enterprising mill
men to take a look at a country where
pine timber could lie sold TO advantage
by the establishment of lumber yards.
The population of the states through
which this road is to run number
$685., 1865, out of total of the whole
Republic of 9,7Ol 1888, according to
the government estimate in 1880. The
largest state is Jalisco, with 9S4,2l3
inhabitants, and the smallest Coahuila,
with l2I, 1895 souls. Hence it will be
seen that over one-balf of the entire
population are tributary to this road.
The country along the line is pic
turesque and fertile. The climate va
ried and healthy. Fruits and yege-
tables of almost every cline grow to
perfection there, while the grandeur of
her redwood forests rival those of
California. Humbolt pronounced one
of the trees near Oaxaea, to be at least
5000 years old. Her silver mines have
become historic, and comprise two
thirds of her entire export. The yields
in 1873 and 1879, by official table,
show $2l ,9o3,429 OIL, of gold and sill
yer, mostly the latter. Of this ST.
6e5,SI5 80 was from the states bOr-
dering on the Mexican-NatioDal.
That chronic restlessBess and desire
for revolts that existed in the past,
have, in a great measure, kept back
corporations and individuals from in
yestiDg 10 that country bat that is not
the case now, and while this railroad
has nothing to do with the political
affairs of the country, it carries civil
iziDg influence with it, and affords the
traveller an opportunity of examining
the resources of the country, fertility
of her soil and enjoying delightful
climate, which heretofore was only ae-
eessible by means of mules and burros.
1t seems that Humbolt knew more
of the advantages and beauties of Mex
leo than almost any other writer, for
be eIassed it as "the garden of the
world" and in speaking of her geo
graphical position exclaimed, Ell Paeate
del comercio del mu,ado, (the bridge of
the commerce OF the world,) a fact
that will grow more apparent as the
iron horse peDetrates the interior on
his way to the City of Mexico by the
way of the Mexican-National railway.

There are few places in this sec
ton of Gods moral vineyard that will
attract the eye of a stranger sooner
than that of our old-time friend and
patron, Capt. III. d. Nix, situated about
a mile and q half above town, on the
lovely Calcasieu river. We were out
there the other day and could not
help but remark the natural beauty and
picturesque surroundings of the place.
The captain has bonanza, and the
day is not far distant when he will
fully realize the truth of our assertion
if he has not already done SO.

In aQQH1on 10 bDeSe lneIe are moIe
than as many non-residents who are
assessed all the way from ten to twenty
five thousand dollars. The number of
those residing in the parish who are
given in by the assessor as worth from
five to ten thousand dollars is very
large. Then does it look like we are a
poverty-stricken people, inhabiting a
country unfit for white people3 The
contrary is the truth We haye pro-
gressive, industrious and wlde-awake
people, who have made all they are
worth right here, and who are just now
getting in a position to enable them
to undertake the Development of the
country in earnest. And there is room
and time for many more to do as these
have done. The healthy, robust per-
sonal appearance of the majority of
the residents is a contradiction of the
belief that has gained some eredance
abroad that ours in an unhealthy local
ity. The fact is, an able-bodied man,
with ordinary intelligence, who cannot
make more than living in this imme-
diate vicinity, couldn't do it anywhere
else on this terrestrial globe.
