Rev. r. II. Read, of Orange, has
been with us this week and on Wednes-
day and Thursday nights preached to
good audiences, in the Baptist church.
The gentleman is a close reasoner. a
lifelong student of Biblical and class
ioal history, and it was with the great
est pleasure that we listened to him on
each occasion. He portrays the in
comparable beauties of the Bible in
mastery manner, and doubtless made
profound impression on at least some
who heard him. We hope he may
visit Lake Charles again.

New WILL.

Mr.. James Cessford has begun the
erection of a saw and shingle mill on a
site some two hundred yards south of
the resident of Capt. Il. D. Nix. The
main bull ding will be 24x80 feet, two
stories high, the lower one being 61a
feet in the clear. Two engines, l2x20,
will be employed in the saw mill. Its
saving capacity will be from twenty
five to thirty thousand feet of lumber
per day. The latest improved ma
chinery will be put in the single mill,
and Mr.. Cessford informs us, of such
manufacture and force as will enable
him to turn out 100000 shingles per
day. With good weather, ana barring
all accidents, Mr.. g. hopes to be able
to begin active operations by the first
of August next, possibly sooner. Mr..
Cessford is a thoroughgoing, energetic
gentleman, one of the hardest workers
in the country and success ig very GER
tain to crown his efforts. The Echo
anticipates no little pleasure in chon-
icing the completion Of this mill, in
the near future, which it shall take
occasion to do in fitting terms when
the same shall have been accomplished.

Railway and Rainfall.

American scientists are again discussing
fhe connection alleged to exist between the
operations OF raj ways and hes amount of
rainfall. 1t is regarded us u remarkable
fact that before railways were extended to
the Pacific, the country lying between the
Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountains was
subject to an almost continuous drought.
Since then, however, the country has been
visited with frequent falls of rain. What
produced the change? is the question.
Some suggest that it is due to n change in
the electrical state of the atmosphere, pro-
duced by the conduction of the subtle fluid
into the region by the iron rails. Others
assert that it is caused by the atmospheric
disturbances arising from the frequent
passing and requesting of trains. 1t is shown
that up TO 1854 the United States had been
periodically visited by great and general
droughts, but since that year there has
been no such visitation or, in other words,
that the building OF such a vast network
Of railways as has been constructed IN the
past quarter of n century has had the eff
feet of promoting the fall of rain. Since
the general introduction of railways in
Europe, also, there has been no drought
such nc previously at short intervals caused
widespread distress. In the case of Eng
land it is remarked that although the eli
mate has been always humid there has
been n growing excess of rainfall during
tho period of railway building, until now
she gets far more than is beneficial to the
crops. This has been noticeable to NJ
almost alarming degree in the past few
years. We give these conclusions for what
they MAJ be worth, and merely as showing
the drify of current discussion on thi,
| point.

after the discovery Of the Mississippi river

Joliet and Marquette. IN this map both

Interesting Census E,surcs

The ccnsus bulletin 1880 shows the total
population of the United States AT 5O,152,-
S66. of which 43,4Oi,S16 are white, and
6,577,l5l colored. The number of colored
persons to each 100000 whites is 1888,
against l4,52S in 1870. The greatest pro-
portion of colored to white is in South
Carolina, where thrce-iifths of the whole
are colored in Louisiana and Mississippi
half to threc-iitths are colored in Alabama,
District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia,
North Carolina and Virginia the colorcd
form one-third to half the total in Arkan-
sas and Tennessee, q fourth to a third. The
least proportion among the former slave
states Is in West Virginia, where there are
but 1885 to 100000 whites, and in Nilsson
ri, where there are but 1853. Outside OF
the former slave states the proportion OF
negroes is very small. Between 1870 and
1880. in the United States as q whole, there
has been u gain Of 625 colOred on an assum-
ed basis of 100000 whites. Great relative
gains during the decade have apparently
been made in the Southern or former slave
holding states. OF nine Of the states which
gained, eight stand ut the head of the list,
having made relative gains of 944 to nearly
II 900. II is believed by the census officers,
however, that these apparent gains are due,
in II great measure, to the imperfections of
the census of 1870. Of the former slave
states which have lost, Texas and Florida
lead. Both of these states received heavy
white immigration, which more thar over
balanced whatever gain in the colored pop
ulation may have been made. The move
ment of blacks in the Northern and Vest
ern states has apparently been of little
comparative account. The migration of
negroes has not attained such dimensions
nc to be perceptible here. The states from
which the exodus principally took place,
Mississippi, Louisiana and North Carolina,
have all apparently gained heavily in the
relative proportion of blacks, while Kansas
to which the major part went, has lost in
proportion to the increase of population
Indiana has gained slightly. The number
VI Asiatics in the United States Is 105,7l7;
Indians, &5,122. The Indians in tribal re-
lations under the care OF the Government

Heaves.

There Is no radical cure tor the hcaves
in horses. The primary cause of this res
pirat0ry and air-passage affection may be
attributed to indigestion in its early stage.
A slight cough in all these attacks is gen.
orally present, which develops n wheeling
sound, in some instances resembling akind
of grunt. If the attack is not arrested
early in its progress the subject soon be-
comes n confirmed dyspeptic; then he will
usually manifest a voracious appetite, star
ing coat, enlarged abdomen (tympanic),
spare muscles, q dull, miserable look, the
head droops, he is unwilling to travel fast,
and when urged to do so, especially up
slightly inclined places, becomes exhausted
and soon used up.n In treating these
cases the first object in view mus. be to
improve the general condition of the pa
tient. If this can be accomplished succcS3-
fully an improvement in n durable case
usually follows. Healthy digestion must
necessarily be restored in order to eradicate
indigestion. To produce these favorable
results the following is indicated: Give one
drachm doses of the tr, acid. sulph. arc, in
one pint of water night and morning. This
may, however, be put in his drinking water
night and morning If he will drink it.
1t will save you the trouble of drenching
it down the throat. The following alten-
tive should be given in the meantime in
mash food consisting Of equal parts of oats
and bran made with cold water: Take
equal parts of finely powdered gcntian root,
African ginger, lac sulphur, salt and cream
f tartar, charcoal, l%icorice, %elecampane and
araway seed. Dose, one our"e every night,
i1.,. rorated well through ,ne mash food.
frequent changes in diet, which should be
free from must, mowburn or decay exer'
else and good management are indispensa
BILE agents. When considerable improve
.ncnt in the general condition Of the pa
.ient is perceptible, the aromatic tinctur,
may with safety be omitted, and the alter
alive preparation should be given in four
drachm doses instead of %one-ounce doses
rs recommended to commence with. The
patient should be given his water from {
bucket, in small quantities at u time, and
should be regularly watered and fed three
times daily. If he is inclined to eat the
bedding o. other foul p%rovender, II muzzlt
should be placed on his head and only re-
moved at meal time. This treatment, if
thoroughly persevered in, will no doubt
