~TRosDHJEA, Norway-My journey from
New York to this place has been an ideal
one. You could have hoated ono OF our
duck-boats the entire distance. This Is the
uorthermost city Of the world LOT any size)
being 50 degrees 8 minutes north. It has
5000 people, Is well built and is a very
picturesque place; It's harbor teens with
shipping of all the world; its inhabitants
are refined and seem we'll TO do. We took n
ride in tho suburbs last evening, and found
the region rouDdabout to be well cultivated,
with vegetabfeN gardens-for the most
part such as surround Chicago, only better
tended and better grown. Tn people were
making hay. and a bigger crop OF grass 1
never saw grow out of the ground. This Hills
one with wonder when 1 remember that a
line drawn west from this point just touches
Iceland, and, still farther extended, cuts
Greenland in half, leaving its southern third
at least south of this line. Greenland, You
know, is a frozen waste perpetually at this
latitude. Rye, oats, barley, peas, potatoes
and grass are the standard crops here. You
will recognize tho country when / tell you it
is New England over again, only the hills are
somewhat higher.

A few days ago we had occasion to
visit tie Louisiana Western Railroad
depot and were highly pleased to note
the progressive spirit manifested by
all and the improved condition of
everything in that locality. We
dropped b on'those enterprising and
go-abead merchants, Messrs. A. Rig
maiden q Co., and were somewhat
surprised, but at the same time graft
fed, to see what an extensive assort-
ment eff goods of all kinds they had in
store. These gentlemen carry on a
very extensive business in dry goods,
groceries and Western produce, and
are energetic, trustworthy and accom-
rpodating to all alike. Their bust
ness is established on firm basis and
they sell goods at the lowest prices
and on reasonable terms, thereby
securing large portion Of the trade
of the parish. 1t affords US pleasure
10 recommend such men as compose
this firm to the public and bespeak for
them a continuance of liberal share
of the public patronage, as we feel
assured they are deserving, for their
motto is: TRY as we will treat you
right" and they are men who mean
what they say.

Nothing affords US more pleasure
than to make mention Of the success
in life Of any Of our young townsucn,
for we feel pride in heralding to the
world the merits oil our own native
born and showing that Galcasieu
parish can produce Just as skillfnl and
reliable artisans as can be found any
where. Therefore we take consider
able pleasure in calling attention to
the advertisement OF our young friends
Haskell q LeyiBgston, contractors,
carpenters and builders, in this issue
Of the Echo. They solicit public
patronage upon their merits as me
chanics, and as they were both reared
in this vicinity we do not deem it
necessary to say more than to advise
those who contemplate building and
desire neat job TO give them trial,
as we feel certain that these worthy
young gentlemeu will give entire sat
isfaction as they are both skilled and
experienced mechanics and perfectly
reliable in every particular.
