was trying to change some National

Her Majesty's realm. "Your name, sir"
said the money. changer. "F. N. Pc

1t will interest the readers who use
these "Dotes" to know the kind of
Snnday-school conducted by the man
who wrote them. The entire eongre-
CATION is to be found in the school ;
and each has his appropriate Place.
The little ones gather in room BY
themselves, as the primary depart
ment. Those from seven to fourteen
years of age form an intermediate
department. The largest number,
mostly good-sized classes of young
men and ladies, assemble in the large
yestry while in an adjoining room is
Bible-class, Of from seventy to one
hundred. These different departments
are together in the opening exercise
then, BY immense sliding doors, they
are separated for lesson stady. While
they are gathering, The pastor moves
about among the little ones, with a
greeting for one another.
BY the time the bell strikes, be is

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
The officers of the Texas and New
Orleans Railway inform us that in
few weeks Baton Rouge will be in rail
communication with the Pacific slope.
OF what commercial Importance or
significance is this intelligence to
southern Louisiana?
No greater benefit could befall the
country than to induce immigrants to
settle on this fertile soil. Louisiana
will not fail BY comparison with any
section as traversed by the allrail route
to California. Her agricultural advaii-
tages, her faithful seasons, and never
falling harvests, should be represented
and advertised to those in quest Of
homes.
From Shreveport to Fort Worth, on
the line Of this route, lies the only sec
tion having agricultural preteutions.
The crops of cotton, corn and wheat,
and statistical information and practi-
cal experiment have proved, that an
acre OF alluvial land will produce twice
as much as the interior lands Of north
Texas. From Fort Worth westward
to I'll Paso, the country has all the APP
pearance Of Sahara, Agriculture is
comparatively unknown, except where
bodies Of land are so situated that they
can be irrigated. From El Paso,
through the bleak. dreary and sterile
territories, there is nothing to entice
farmer. The tillable acreage of New
Mexico, Arizona and Nevada, has not
yet been estimated as advantages pos
sessed by these countries.
1t is obvious that the tide of immi-
grafton should stop here, For at no
point on the entire route could the aim
and end of an agriculturist be better
compensated, Louisiana is bordered
on the east, from the Arkansas line to
the Gulf of Mexico, by the Mississippi
river; with the western portion about
equally divided by the Red river.
With numerous smaller rivers and bay
ous, which irrigate and diversity the
soil, and fits this immense southern
garden for every species of product.
The treasures of her forests are incal-
culable, The oak, cypress, and pine,
in fact every variety aud every species
of timber, from the magnificent Mag
nolia grandifora, to 1.-THE reeds and
grasses grow and thrive,
The bureau of immigration of this
state should attempt to divert from
the far west, portion of the tide Of
immigration.

TIle Convention.

We did not attend the Republican
parish convention which met at Houma
on Saturday last, and We have since
had no reason to regret our absence
from what proved to be one of the
most disgraceful and corrupt coDyen-
tions ever held in this parish. There
was no fighting or open breach Of the
peace committed that we are aware Of,
but delegates were openly bought and
sold by both sides. Although the fight
was ostensibly between the friends Of
Kellogg on one side and Beattie on
the other, to secure the election Of
delegates to support their man in the
congressional convention. It was really
fight between Cage and Stewart for
control Of the Republican executive
committee of this parish. Instead Of
healing the dissensions in the party,
the effect has been to widen the breach
which has existed since the last cleo
tion, and if the Donaldsonyille con
yention does not succeed in harmonic
ING the discordant elements, not only
In this parish but in the district, the
election of Hon. j. III. AcHin as con
gressman from this district is q foregone
conclusion. Ierreboaae Times.

A Lady's Pluck.
opelousas Courier,

opelousas Courier,
On Tuesday of last week, near Bayou
Chicot, Mrs. Griffith Thompson, hear
ing an unusual commotion among the
cattle near her residence, went out to
see the cause of their excitement, but
discovered nothing at the time, She
had made but a few steps homeward,
when hearing a growl she turned her
head just in time TO see wildcat
making spring upon her. She
jumped to one side and avoided
its attack. 1t made another spring,
however, and in endeavoring to push
the animal off, it caught her wrist in
its mouth and lacerated her arm very
badly. She caught it around the throat
and checked it with strength born Of
desperation, at the same time calling
for help; but when assistance arrived
she had actually strangled the ferocious
beast. Although her hands and arms
were fearfully torn, she never released
her hold until she choked it to death.
That was the right sort of pluck to
face any danger. Mrs. Thompson is
the daughter Of our old friend, I, L.
Scott, Esq.

Some erroneous statements have been
published in various papers in regard
to the progress in railway building in
the South during the past year. The
tendency has been to exaggerate the
growth, which is sufficiently great to
afford cause for congratulation with
out being stretched mile. The actual
construction during eighteen months
ending June 80, can be gathered with
sufficient accuracy from Poe's Railroad
Manual and the Chicago Railway Age,
the figures in these publications being
always compiled with care. We make

she did not come. Last winter he
again wrote to his wife, not knowing
whether she was alive or dead. That
