Minnesota Carrots.

Chicago News: Mai. W. Beach Taylor,
one OF Gen. Logan's private secretaries,
passed through this city on his way to
Washington. where he intends to exhibit,
before the next congress sits, some specimens
OF carrots raised on his farm near Slayton,
,Aiiinn. The major thinks that, with a little
government aid, he could bring the
carrot-raising industry up to a pointwhere
it would be second to none in the country.
Zone popularity OF carrots raised in Min
nesota," says he, lis that they grow in the
form OF whatever the planter is thinking OF
when he sows the seed. Now, here is one,''
he continued, raising the lid OF az box and
showing carrot that looked Ikea beauti-
full child; Il was thinking afhome and my
children when sowed that seed, and you
see what it has grown to be-" In other
boxes Maj Taylor carried carrots in other
forms, ALL he protested. in the images OF
those objects on which his mind rested at
the time of the planting. AS other Mime
sofa farmers do not report the same ex
perience, we think it must be a popularity
of Maj. Taylor's mind rather than OF the
Minnesota soil.

At the banquet to Sir A. Caron and Hon.
Thomas White at Winnipeg, Caron caused
vociferous applause by stating he hated
rebels and had no sympathy, good bad or
indifferent, with rebellion. Referring to

had an opportunity of seeing the terrible
misery brought upon the poor, mis-
guided half-breeds by the treachery Of
designing knave. [Great applause Il
seems ONE that ifanywhere the name Of the
man who led the creatures in that neigh
borhood and caused such misery and des-
titut1on; the name of him who, for the Sec
ond time in this northwest country, brought
disturbance upon the people, should be
held up to execration, it would be among
the unfortunate dupes who were led at that
time to take up arms against the constitut-
ed authorities of the country, and brought
misery and restitution upon the people.
[Cheers.]
It is believed that after the utterances
OF these two members of the cabinet, Riel
has little chance OF escaping the gallows.

"a ROLLING STONE GATHERS
M Moss."-On April 9th, 1864,
,hirty.one years ago, to day, We
walked into Shreveport from "Mug
giusyille," and set our first type in
the sold Caddo Gazette Office" AS
an indication of our literary taste,
Col. Battle, the editor, permitted US
to select our first "copy." 1t began
With the above quotation. We have
mt rolled very far during these
many years; and, though, grown up
to be a "moss- back Democrat" we
haze gathered but little "moss."
Mugginsville was really portion of
Shreveport-the suburban district,
and while it had no distinctive cor
porate government or trade centre,
il had separate 'local habitation
and a pame." But since that time
aMuggiasyille" has been obliterated
as well as many other landmarks
familiar to ahose "typo" days of our
youth. The paper, itself, has lost
its individuality, and its venerable
and highly honored editor, Col. FL.
JIG. Battle, has long since passed
away. When We and our brother
entered the Caddo Gazette office
thirty.one years ago today as ap-
prentices, the staff consisted of that
estimable, kind hearted and aniver-
sally beloved gentleman, Col. Fl. j.
G. Battle, the editor and proprietor;
Fountain 2. Austin, assistant editor;
MIR. Wyndham, foreman, and MIR.
Richard Stanley Carues, compositor.
All have passed away-the two
apprentices alone remain.
The contemporaries of the Caddo
Gazette were the South. Western,
published by L. billiard &c Co., and
the Shreveport Democrat, published
by M. Estes, who was also our con-
temporary in the matter of resi-
dence, as he, too, lived jn snug
ginsville." The staff of the South
Western consisted of T.. billiard, L.
billiard, Jr., William and Thomas
billiard; John Kenney, cowpositor,
Thos. A. Steele, apprentice, and
Hopkins as "roller boy" The Demo
crat staff CONSISTED of M.Estes, editor;
Enoch Mason, assistant; JAS. DeBow,
foreman; j. w. Lee, Chas. Cornell,
compositors, and WIN. SDgletary,
apprentice. The three journals have
passed out of existence, and of the
entire editorial and mechanical staff
only the South Western apprentice
and the two apprentice of the Caddo
Gazette survive.

Death of Mrs. SaIIle Vance ZeigIer.

Mrs. Sallie Vance Zeigler, wife of
s. ]. Ziegler, di d at her home in
Shreveport, GU Wednesday, 9Th
instant, and will be buried this
afternoon in tbs Cemetery on Plain
Dealing Plantation, near Collins
burg, this parish.
Mrs. zeigler was born 10 this pa
rish, and was the daughter of the
late DIR. S. w. Vance. She leaves
a devoted husband, four lovely and
bright children, and numerous
friends to mourn at her sad death.
1t is always sad task to write the
announcement of death, but death
is ine2orable, and hecds not youth,
beauty, health, nor circumstance.
Light and Shadow, Day aud Night,
are the metaphors of Life and Death,
and go hand in hand. Hers was a
character of loving fidelity, cease
less industry, prudent management,
charity; of noble reverence, rising
from the husband on earth to God
above, and of motherly virtues to-
ward her children. She realized
this ideal both in her activities and
in her character. Child-like humil
ity, sunny contentment, watchful
tenderness and simplicity of soul
found expression in her ever ready
delight in pleasing; an unwavering
patience and attractive meekuess.

crowds from all sections to see the

General Manager a. n. Towne,
while on a recent visit to this city,
stated that arrangements for re
duction in the shipment of green
fruits over the Southern Pacific
Railroad, had been completed. The
rate per car load on express trains
from California to the East has been
reduced from $500 to $500, and on
freight trains from $500 to $500.
The freight rate on oranges has also
been reduced. By this most liberal
action the Southern Pacific is crea-

of that wonderful State.
The "Model City" of Pullman at
tracts universal attention at the
Exposition. Mr.. Pullman, the in-
ventor and manufacturer of the ia.

own enterprise, good judgment and
liberality, built this model city, a
few miles from Chicago, where his
car shops are located. 1t has an
enterpriSing population of about
10000, perfect system of drainage,
finely paved and lighted streets,
churches, schools, a theatre, etc.
The death rate is far less than that
of any other city of the same size.
Mr.. Pullman is the only man in this
country who has ever founded an
entire city, and he has achieved a
wonderful success in both it's con-
struction and wise government.
There is large and increased
travel over the Louisville, New Or.
leans & Texas Railroad from Missis-
sippi Valley points. This popular
road has largely aided in the devel-
opment and increased wealth of the
South, and has contributed largely
to the success of the Exposition by
its liberality, and, consequently, to
the people at large.
