One Of the strongest arguments in favor
of the bill is the clause in the State con-
stitution which declares that Stree exer-
else and enjoyment Of religious profess
sion and worship, without discrimination
or preference, shall forever be allowed In
this State to all mankind" In fact, SEN
atOr Boxer has introduced second free
dom of worship bill, which contains
nothing more than this provision from the
constitution. and command to all keep
ers of reformatory institutions 10 obey It,.
The Protestants oppose both bills.
They say that the constitution does not
guarantee to inmates of reformatory in
situations freedom Of worship or freedom
of any other kind. Such persons have
forfeited not only their right to worship
as they please, but also other rights. 1t is
also claimed on the authority of the man.
ayers Of the house of refuge, who are
composed of Protestants and Catholics,
that freedom of worship would destroy
the discipline of the institution.
Under the present arrangement the in
mates of the refOrmatory institutions are
permitted to attend nOn-sectarian service
and to see in private preacher or priest,
as they may desire, but they are not per-
mitted freedom of worship. There ap-
pears to be merit on both sides of the
question, but 1t is doubtful if the matter
will he satisfactorily settled as long as
there is a disposition to discuss it in the
Incorporate way that it is now being dis
cussed.

supposed, by eating acorns. Mr.. E., Of

vailing Ia that locality. We have remedy
Mr.. E., which always has cured, when given
in time. The recipe is, one pint Of SCOT and
one-half pint of salt; mix, and give In two
doses, six hours apart; if cure is not effect.
ed in ten hours. repeat the dose. The above
dose ia intended for a three-year-old cow OF
steer. AS general rule, cattle will take the
remedy at will, but in case they refuse, they
should be forced to take it dry.

From Black p. o.

Ed. Register-Perhaps you will give us
space at the beginning of this article to say
few words on "Human Progress" Few
things interest the curiosity of mankind
more, or prove more instructive in them
selves, than the tracing of the progress
of a powerful mind, which, although it may
have sprung from the most adverse circum-
stances, has obtained the power to rule, or
influence tho destiny of nations. Then why
may not the progress which has been made
by man since his advent upon earth be
equally as interesting? By the study of His
torical Genealogy we first find man in the
very lowest stage of savagery: living on
fruit and nuts, and without dwellings. In
this age, although the land was filled with
animals fit for food, and the rivers teemed
with fishes, man knew nothing Of the taste Of
flesh. He never dreamed of tilling the fields
or kindling fire. With the world as his
lay-ground, the caves of the earth as his
palaces, he lived and enjoyed life. But as
the mind Of man was formed ior inventions,
he very soon learned how to kindle q fire,
catch fish for his food. From this state he
emerged into the invention of earthen vessels
and willow baskets in which he cooked his
food; into the invention Of domestic tools
and implements of war made Of stone. But
It seemed that flesh and fruits were INSULT
cient to the development of the human mind.
He now begins to cultivate corn that he may
have variety of food; manufactures pottery
and builds him stone house; begins the do
mestication of animals, improves his mode OF
farming and finally builds his houses Of. pol.
ished stone. The discovery and invention OF
Implements made Of iron mark the latest Pc
riod Of primeval development. The spot
ter's wheel" was invented. Silver and lead
were discovered. Coined money was used
and commerce was begun. The alphabet
was invented, which placed civilization on q
6rm basis.

feet in width, and extends from the
bottom of the hill towards Phelps
lake east 1900 feet, which runs oter
the top of this hill. The entire field
is covered with fine surface ore. AZ
the bluff the depth of this surface
DIE can be plainly seen, which is
about 9 feet. In all my investiga.
tons in this section of the State, 1
have not iiet with any ore of SINH
lar character; that is, such large,
massivs pieces Of high grade ore; it
certainly affords me great satisfac.
ton to report this. Adjoining this
place is another bill with nearly
similar conditions.
From here I pushed on to the ex-
treme northwest corner of the parish,
with the view of ascertaining what
ore bodies exist there. After leaving
Phelps lake I crossed many high
and extremely steep hills 1.-THE hills
OF this section will take the prize
for the highest in Louisiana). [ met
with great deposits of siliceous ore,
the slick they carry being too great
render them useless for the present.
This same condition exists from
here to Red Land, distance 10 miles
from Red Land diagonally across to
Collinsburg, also from here to Rocky
Mount, and from thence again to
Red Land ON the east. At Red Land,
however, [ examined a stretch of
land on the north invest of Red Land
from a quarter to one mile of first
class ore. Also at Rocky Mount an
excavation was made about 10 feet
square, and six feet deep, showing
successive strata from one to three
inches thick of high grade small ore.
About 100 yards north of this exca.
walton very fine ore covers the sur
face in quantities.
FROM hOcky Mount drove to
Bellevue in order to make some in
vestigations there, this being the
last point to exaime. A short dis
lance north of the town is deposit
of fine geodic iron. The goodies are
much larger than any heretofore
seen by me. This field does not
show indications of great extent
The conditions for mining, labor.
timber and water, are equal to any
in the State. Theirs is only one
serious drawback; that is, facilities
for transportation. The best ore
bodies exist principally in the north
west portion of the parish, very far
removed from any railroad commu.
nication. Red River might be
utilized at certain seasons of the
year, but that lie very uncertain
means where transportation is con.
stantly required. With the deyel,
0pment of the iron industry I have
no doubt the obstacle will be easily
overcome.
