Editor Lake Charles Echo;
Some one having sent me late
number Of the Echo, your correspon-
dent at once seated himself in his 4" big
arm chair" and read every word, from
the beginning to the end of last line.
The memory of the pleasant past
winter spent in your Lake City,
among your enterprising people, will
never be effaced from his memory, and
thinking that a few items of times
and things from Egypt" may not be
aniiss sends the following:
The early part of the season was wet
and cold, and late. About the middle
of June we were visited with the most
terrific outbursts of thunder storms,
causing much fears, regarding the
heavy crops of wheat and oats just
ready to harvest. Since then the
weather has been just loyely-not ex-
cessiveiy hot or cold-with frequent
showers to secure the heaviest crop
ever raised since the country was set
tied. Corn is earring ont with ears high
as the top of my head, as | pass
through the field. The central and
northern portions of the state have been
so wet that the corn crop is not half
what it should be. The farmers are
now busy in sthreshing their wheat |
which has been secured in good con
iition, and is yielding 25 to 35 bushels
per acre.
1t is sight worth going some dis
lance to sea steam traction engine,
itself, and hauling its own
machine and water Tank,
along the roads and from field to field,
and carrying its own fuel local, and
no team in sight. In travelling along
the highway, splitting fire at every
puff, all teams they meet give it a sus-
pieions look and a wide berth to pass
in. Truly we are living in fast age.
The frnit prospects are good. Your
correspondent has already commenced
the process for eyaporation-Alden
process. About six car loads of wheat
are brought and shipped from this sta
ton every day, at 81 per busheI. (
Considering the utter failure of
crops last year 1t is not surprising that
all classes are jubilant over this sea
sons prospects. +
Thousands of bushels of blaekber-
ries are now being picked and shipped
to northern cities. Prices here, 3 to
a cents per quart. ERAsTUs.

The illFfated little schooner Hem
rietta, which for several days has been
quarantined at Galveston, and which
has created so much strife, turmoil land
confusion among the people Of that
eity, has at last.been gotten of to Ship
Island. At five O'Clock on Monday
evening the tug Maddox moved ont to
sea having the schooner with herpa
4sengers in tow, with distance of 200
yards between them. One of the pas
sengers, a lady, who had been sick up
wards of two weeks, died on Saturday
night snd was buried at sea Sunday
evening. A post-mortem examination
was held by two of the estaeminent
physicians of the city of Galveston,
but they did say that the patient
had died of yellow fever, neither would
they state that it was not yellow fever.
These gentlemen certainly knew, how
ever, whether it was or was not, and
no one will believe for moment that
had it been a genuine case of fever
they would have lodged the matter in
this way. That the Galveston board
of health have done ought bnt their
duty in dealing with the Henrietta we
are not prepared to say, bnt that they
have used every inch ofrope and power
possible is certain. Speaking Of the
departure of the Henrietta, the News
says: ga general feeling of relief is
manifested now that the boat has
gone" And we do not wonder at it.
Doubtless the feeling is heartily recip-
roeated by the unfortunate passen-
gers imprisoned aboard the little craft,

WAsHINGToE, Aug. r9.-Nr. Kel-
logg has discovered that it cost some
thing to have himself written up as a
statesman. i. N. Reagis, of St. Louis,
was here last winter, soliciting re-
representatives. and senators TO subscribe
for a book, 1.-The Lives of GreatMen,'
which he proposed to publish. Kel-
logg became a subscriber and entered
into "a contract with the St. Lonis
Bank Note company, through Reayis,
for an engraved potraitof himself. The
price agreed upon was sl25, and was
to be paid when the engraving was
made. The engraving is finished, and
the Bank Note company want their
money, which kellogg refuses to pay,
because the book with the engraving
in it has not appeared. The company
has brought suit against Kellogg in
the supreme court in this district.

THE St. Charles Herald occasionally
gets the credit for some of our items,
while now and then the EeHo is credit
ed with some of the sHeralds. The
similarity Of the names of the two
places doubtless causes the mistake.
But it is an awkward blunder, and we
don't see why a man with bis wits
about him should make it; and we
mean to get even with the next care
less scribbler that clips anything from
this paper and credits it to the Lake
Charles Herald.

Tux threeecents-a-rnile laa, IN spite
of5the protestations ana threats Of the
railroads, has gone into operation IN
Texas. But railroad managers are still
snarting and writhiug over the iispo-
sition displayed by the people to
abridge their powers. Another ediet
has been issued and gone forth to the
effect that no more free passes will be
given. They all said if the law went
into force work on their extentions
would be stopped at once. Did build
ing cease9 Count Telfener suspended
operations on his line from Victoria to
the Rio Grande, for a short time, until
he saw, as did others, that no threats
they could make, or anything they
could do, would have the least infiu-
ence toward a repeal or modification.
of the law, then he resumed work, with.
a grand flourish of trumpets, saying
that if it bankrupted himself and his
friends he would build his road. And
the same is going to be the result Of
the great no-free-pass manifesto. Mid
die men, ministers of the gospel, and a
few poor fellows who have OCCASION
ally been able TO beg q pass, reluctant
ly given though they were, over a
short distance of this or thatroad, will
be shut down on, perhaps; but sn-
Prene and district Judges, Legislators,
in fact, everyone whose influence goes
for anything, will be rendered the
" free pass now as they have always
been. The EcHo is not an anti-rail-
road paper by any means. On the
contrary, it fully appreciates what they
have done and will vet do for the
South, and for Louisiana; but it be .
lieves there is limit 10 the privileges
that should be allowed them. Rail
roads, like everything else, should be
restricted and governed by wise and
just laws. In other words, the people
should dictate the tariff they shall be
to demand, not alone for the
carrying of passengers, but for every
pound Of freight they handle. Rail
roads develop acountry, are great civil
izers, induce immigration and in many
ways bring wealth and thrift TO all
classes of people; but for all that are
they not thegreatest bene6eisries after
all? We will watch with much inter
est the practical workings of the three
eents-a-nile law in Texas, not that we
entertain the least idea Of it's proving
an unwise and injurious step on the
part of the authorities Of that state,
but because we may have occasion at |
some future time TO cite its benifcent |
results. twill doubtless be some years
before the State of Louisiana will have
like the mileage and number
of railroads now possessed by her sis
ter state. But the time must eventually
come, and when it does Louisiana, as
every other state in the Union has done
before her, will be called upon to enact
avs for their government.

Hon. JoHN Ii. REAGAN, our present
congressman, has clear field for con
gress in his new district. We are sorry
to part with Judge Reagan.-01aage
Tribune.
And well you may be. There are
precious few Reagans in the Lone Star
State. He is one of the old Romans.
His Interstate commerce bill, whether
it ever becomes a law or mot, has made
the name Of John II. Reagan a familiar
one from one end of this country to
the other. But believe it will be-
come law, through the, uutiring en-
ergy, sagaeity and mastery abilities of
its champion. That it has not been
killed long ago; that it still lives, is
popular and slowly gaining strength
all the time, notwithstanding the war
that has been made upon it by every
railroad corporation in the land, stamps
John Il. Reagan at once as one of the
foremost ststesmenrof the age.
