Every Southern man must neces-

| refer to the almost inexhaustible
quarry of silicious sandstone near
Boyce's station, Rapides parish, in
this State, on the Texas and Paci-
tic Railroad, a distance of about
200 miles from New Orleans. The
railrgad runs right through the
heart of the quarry, and the quarry
itself runs up to andifronts on Red
river. This quarry is seven miles
length, and in width one half mile.
For building and street paving pus-
poses this stone is unsurpassed by
any in the country, and for full
proof of this opinion a critical in
spection is invited of several speci
mems to be found at Kursheedt &
Cienvenu's in this city, and at the
City Hall in the Surveyors office.
New Orleans and the other cities
of the State have almost at their
very doors stone that is as hard
as granite, and which will cost
about half the price of the granite
hitherto used for paving in this city,
and for paving is superior to gran
tie, because it will not by wear and
tear become so CLASSY and slippery
as the granite.
This quarry being accessible to
both river and railroad transporta-
ton must necessarily invite the at
of those interested in using
stone for paving and building pur-
poses.

~-LAsr Sunday was day of in
teresting ceremonies at St. Francis
Aavier's Catholic Church, the oc-
casion being the first visit of the
Right Rev. Bishop Durieur to this
Parish, who came for the purpose
of administering the sacrament of
Confirmation; and on this day there
was, perhaps, a larger congregation
present than ever before in the
walls of the old Church. At the
first Mass, $50 o'clock, there were
los communicates, 81 of whom
were boys and girls receiving the
Holy Eucharist for the first time.
After this Mass the first communi-
cants were invited to the old Con-

had been spread for them by Rev.
Father Menard and some of the Ia
dies of the congregation, and right

Bishop at the 10 o'clock Mass to 63

whom were colored, the Bishop de.

Should Congress DOR,

1t is urged by some of the men not sena-
tors or statesmen in Dakota that Senator
Harrison and others in the United States
senate are faulty in their references to
Michigan, California and other states that
came in without an enabling act first had
as being exact presidents for the
state makers of South Dakota.
1t is not remembered that in any of
the cases cited the people divided the terri
tory. Michigan or California did not. In
the South Dakota case it is insisted that
parties in one part of the territory assume
to divide it without consulting the part cut
off or congress, guided only by their sweet
will. For this, it is alleged, there is no
precedent If such procedure is sanctioned
there could be no objection to allowing any
part of any territory that has population
enough for congressional ratio to slice up
the territory as they see fit, and form an in
definite number of small states. Ii mere
extent of territory is to be considered almost
any of the territories are large enough for
a haf-dozen average states.
