HUNDRED NILES AN HOUR.
From an English Paper

| Some time ago an American locomotive,
| fitted with a new brake, was brought
over to this country, but its performances
do not seem to have made any stir.
Some of the American papers are suggest
ing that an English locomotive of the
best should be bought by one of the CON-
panies in the United States, and be tested
against one of their standard engines for
speed and durability. The question has
come to the front mainly on account of
the agitation for a quicker service be-
tween New York and Philadelphia, a dis.
lance of about ninety miles, which one
engineer thinks may be covered in one
hour. Such speed as that has never
been accomplished by any train, and it is
doubtful whether an engine by itself has
ever run at that rate even for a short dis
lance 1t is very we'll known that some
of the expresses on the great lines run
ming to the North do occasionally reach
speed Of seventy miles or more, going
down some Of the long banks,
but the running average of the latest
trains in this country is fifty miles an
hour. That is accomplished by the Great
Northern Flying Scotchman, who does
the whole journey from Edinburgh to
Kings Cross at running average of 4S
miles. Running average, it should be ex-
planned, is calculated on the time the
train is actually in motion, the journey
average of the train mentioned being only
trifle less than forty-fou miles an hour.
The Greatwestern, which, thanks to the
general level character of its line, should
do better, shows running average for
expresses of forty six miles, and the Mid.
land, which has more severe gradients
than the Great Northern, shows run.
ming average Of forty.iye and forty six
with the fastest trains on parts OF long
journey. These speeds do not represent
the actual rate of motion on levels or
down inclines, which is very much
higher, but rarely exceeds seventy miles.
Slowing at functions and over difficult
parts of the road, brings the average to
that given above. The road from New
York to Philadelphia is almost level the
whole way, and if speed of ninety
miles kept up for an hour is possible any,
where it should be on that line; but even
in that case it will be necessary to run
over parts Of the road at speed of about
a hundred miles, which rightly or wrong
ly, has been regarded as the limit, for at
higher speed the driver and stroker would
find, it not an easy matter to breathe.

"Pass the chloride of sodium before
swallowing this story" is the admonition
of the American Register of recent date:
1.-THE cashier OF the tradesmen in the
north of France, on opening the drawer
Of the writing table where the money and
notes were kept, the other day, was sur
prised and perplexed to find its contents
in the utmost disorder, the inside of the
drawer being strewed with scraps Of
paper, which, on examination, turned out
to be the paper of the Bank of France.
Five notes of 1000 francs each had been
destroyed and it was speedily ascertained
that the culprit could only be mouse.
A trap was set to catch the thief, the
remnants of valuable papers in the
drawer were carefully collected, and an
hour later the nibbler was taken in the
trap. Immediately afterwards the mouse
was conveyed to veterinary surgeon
close by, put to death and dissected. Its
stomach was found to contain the indi.
gestive meal of paper recently swallowed;
the pieces were matched, gummed to.
gether and taken to branch bank to be
transferred to Paris. To the Trademarks
Joy, the whole of the FIVE notes being
more or less reconstructed, the bank au
thorities gave orders that the entire
amout of GOO, which he feared was lost
should be restored to him."

Germs only the two years which COM

advisable or not is for each county to de-

Democratic Mass Meeting.
orELousAs. March 10. 1884.

OPELOuSAS, Mafcn ~, 1854.
Pursuant to previous notice, a mass meeting
Of the Democrats of ST. Landry assembled at
the Court Honse at Opelousas, this day at 70 NJ.
The meeting was called to order by Hon. L. ID.
Estilette, chairman of the Parish Executive
Committee, who called the Hon. FL. J.. Garland
to the chair, MesSrS Jos. b. Young, Albert
Guidry and U. T. Blacksheare, were appointed
ce-Presidents, and Messrs l.. a. Sandoz and
G.. A. NJ. Cooke, Secretaries.
Mr. Garland, on taking the chair, in earnest
and impassioned language, addressed the
meeting, at some length, on the political issues
of the day, both State and parochial, and urged
upon his hearers the paramount Importance OF
maintaining intact the party organization and
discipline, by giving hearty support to the
regular nominees Of the party.
Mr.. J. Massie Martin, being called upOn.
made a brief and eloquent address, bristling
with sound political advice and plain common
sense, and, like MI. Garland, was frequently
applauded.
Mr.. c. W. DuROy, in response to numerous
calls, made neat speech in French, in which
lie enun"iated in plain and practical manner
the sOundest and truest Democratic doctrine,
Hon. b. A. Martel, the old war horse of De-
mOcracy, Hon. E. D. Estilette and Hon. w. A.
Robertson were called upon in turn, and made
brief but patriotic and telling addresses, which
were enthusiastically applaudcd.
The meeting then adjourned.

The State Debt Amendment.

The Democracy of Natchitoches, like
the Democracy of st. Landry, is oppos-
ed to the first proposed amendment to
the constitution relative to the State
debt. At a parish nominating conven-
ton held there on March 10th, the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted:
Resolved Sd, That the question of
the State debt having been ABUSED and
finally settled by constitutional enact
ment in 1879, ratified by an almost
unanimous popular vote, and sustained
by the highest court of the nation after
protracted litigation and great expense,
we are opposed to the constitutional
amendment which would reopen the
contest and disturb the adjustment.

several persons present, but before a
vote was taken on the motion to strike
out made by Mr.. Perrodin he withdrew
said motion as originally made, and
moved as a substitute therefor the fol-
lowing, to-wit That the Executive
Committee of this society be and and is
hereby instructed to apply to the Police
Jury of the Parish of st. Landry and to
the municipal bodies of the Parish of
st. Landry for sufficient appropriation
to defray the expenses of the st. Lam
dry exhibit at the Exposition. There
being no objection made to the substi-
tute last offered it was adopted.
On motion of Kenneth Baltic, it was
moved that the report of the Committee
on Organization and Bylaws, as
amended, be adopted as a whole. Car
ried.
On motion the Secretary was directed
to procure book in which to record the
names of the members OF this society
and minute of it's proceedings. Car
ried.
On motion the Secretary was directed
to furnish copy of these proceedings
to the several papers of the parish for
publication.
There being no other business before
the meeting, on motion, the same adj
journed sine die.

OpeIousas, La, March 18th, 1884.

At meeting held here few days
ago, Mr.. c. N. Ealer was selected as a
general manager for this parish in the
New Orleans Cotton Exposition. Not
much interest was manifested, till a
contest was gotten up in the election
for manager. just because somebody
wanted certain person elected, some
body else wanted another one; and
they beat for recruits. The boys flock
ed in and voted, not because they cared
a cent for the exposition, but because
they wanted to beat somebody. We
fear this parish will make poor show
ing, because very few besides our law
yers and politicians seem to take any
interest in the matter; if the object
was to show the resources of this par
ish for professional men and politicians,
st. Landry would stand high.

Since the MorgaDza levee broke last
week the river between there and New
Orleans has fallen considerably
enough probably to prevent many ere
vases below but this fall is not con-
sidered by some as result of the Nor
ganza cTevasse which turns SO much wa
ter into the Atchafalaya, they attribute
it to the dynamic forces" of the river.
The dynamic forces" of the river, in
our opinion, consist in its breaking
through the levees at the weak points,
because the river is not wide and deep
enough to hold the water that comes
down during floods like the present.
