himself hampered by the sweeping
character of the order of withdrawal
and hesitate about what to do. The
settlers have alEeady spent much more
money than the law requires for @
homestead, and having often failed
they hesitate to incur any future ex~
pense unless assured of hearing and
final decision of their ciaimz. They
| are confident of the superiority of their
claims over the railroad and would
cheerfully, if opportunity be given,
prove them up to the satisfaction Of the.
department.
In view of the pressing demands of
the railroad and the apparent necessity
for some action in che near future, and
especially IN view Of the utter impOssi-
blllty of presenting the hundreds of,
cases in detail in time for decision in
each case, appeal to you, Mr.. Secre-
tary, to stay any further issue of pat

IN the parish of St. Landry, if not
throughout the State, until these peo-
pie can be heard.

urge that the orders Withdrawing the,
indemnity lands from sale and entry
be cancelled, and if that cannot be done
that they be SO modified as to permit
an Immediate hearing of all the set
tiers.
If these orders had been framed
oriniDally in compliance with the plain
letter of the law, the Blanchard and
Robertson agreement would never have
been heard of as the settlers would
have been in peacable possession of til
ties to their homes under the home
stead law at a cost OF not more than $25
for 160 acres instead of $500, which the
railroad kindly proposes to exact under
that agreement for lands they have
long since attempted to mortgage at
So 90 per acre-and to which they
have no title.
In conclusion l am much gratifed
to know that up to the present time
the patents already issued only cover
about 5000 acres Of, their selections in
this parish, but they have selected up
on the tract books of the Land Office,
almost every foot of the lands occupied
by settlers. So far they have not been
injured in this parish, and hope they
will not be concluded before the de-
partment by the issuance of patents to
the company for their lands.

Color blindness, like other defects Of
vision, affects people in different de-
grees Of intensity, and, like r1yopia, OF
short sight, it is frequently hereditary.
It often becomes more pronounced in
after life, Or when the near point OF
vision begins.to recede.
Among the more highly educated Of
all nationalities the average number OF
color blind is4per cent, an average in.
excess of that of all other classes. A.
man may have a good eye Cor form and
outline, andyet be partially or wholly
color blind To select aR.instance from
among many is difficult. but one ims~

OF this occurred in the person of Angus
B. Reach.
He was unable to recognize differ
ence in color between the leaf, the foW-
er, and the fruit of plants and trees.
His want of perception of color was
wholly unknown to and unrecOgniZed
by himself, until we sat together at the
table of a Paris restaurant. He, wish
ing to finish his letter to the Chronicle"
newspaper, requested the waiter to-
bring him some ink. AS it often hap
pens, under similar circumstances, the.
ink was brought in wineglass. Reach
became absorbed in his subject, while L
seated opposite to him, observed him
alternately dipping his pen into his
claret glass and into his ink glass. I
frequently checked him, but presently
to my surprise he took up the ink glass
and was about to drink, when remon~
strated, and he then said he could see
no difference between the color of the
ink and the wine. On subsequently
testing him / discovered that he was
completely color blind.
