THE OBSTACLE TO IMMIGRA-
TON.

There is no state where there is
more talk about the necessity of at
tracing immigration, and less done
to facilitate it, than ours. There
can be no question as to the sinceri-
ty of the cry for immigration, yet
it seems impossible to stir our peo-
pie to take practical steps to inau-
gurate the much wished for move
ment. The obstacle to immigra-
ton is simply this: Our best lands
are in vast tracts, and their owners
have not yet realized the fact that
immigrants have not the means to
buy lands in great tracts. "ris trne
that there are yet public lands for
entry but these are the refuse and
they are uncleared, far away from
the markets and from the routes of
transportation. The immigrant ar
irving anywhere in the Satte, is
confronted by this situation, and he
is perforce compelled to 60 further,
where there are agencies for the
sale of tracts of land that do not
exceed the means he can apply to
purchase the kind he wants. Yet,
thousands upon thousands of acres
of land lie perdn Parish, and upon
which the owners pay taxes with
unabating hope that a boom will
come some day, when he will sell
out his big tracts at some fabulous
price per acre. Meanwhile, if he
has been compelled to give up
planting on his own account, he
will rent few patches TO darkies,
or let them work on shares, and by
this recourse, will realize just
enough to make the ends meet at
the close Of the year. This system
has been in vogue for the last
twenty years, and there is no indi-
cation of change. Withal, the
cry for immigration goes bravely
on, and many are the elaborate pa
pers on the subject, vomiting the
resources of our State, that find
their way to the public prints. All
this is mere child's play; and we
had better say frankly that our
people are not yet ready to offer
the necessary inducements to the
immigrant to come hither. 1t is
useless to talk about immigration
until our land owners conclude to
divide their large tracts into subdi-
visions to suit the immigrant. Let
this be done, and the lands placed
on sale on easy terms, at good pri-
ces, through real estate agents To-
Gated in every court house town, SO
that purchasers may know who to
go to when they want to locate,
and we dare say it won't be long
ere the current Of immigration be-
gins to- flow into the State. To
arrive at this, concert Of action,
should first be secured in a general
conference of delegates sent from
every Parish, by whom this impor-
tant question should be discussed in
all its parts, and definite, practi-
cal plan adopted and carried out.
At different periods we have sug-
gested a conference or convention
or the subject of immigration, but
to this moment nothing like q res
ponse has been elected. Will not

TELEGRAPHING FROM A NOV.
ING TRAIN.

The first practical test of rail
road telegraph limo by which CON
slant communication can be kept
up between a station and a moving
train was made on the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad
recently, the system being the in
vention of Lucius J. Phelps. The
train upon which the test was made
ran to New Rochelle a distance of
fifteen miles. Telegraphic mes.
sages were sent and received from
and by the moving train as per-
fectly as can de received and sent
from station to station. The Off
GERS of the company, who were of
the inspection party, expressed
themselves entirely satisfied with
the experiment. "A still more won
derfol invention has been perfected
by German recently, which cleo
trically traces upon q diagram in
the train dispatchei's Office the
movements of all trains along. the
lines. The apparatus consists Of a
sheet Of opaque glass, on which, the
rails are indicated by horizontal
lines and the stations by numbered
vertical lines. Little arrows repre-
senting the trains move along the
horizontal lines. They are put in
motion by aid Of electricity, devel-
oped by the contact Of metallic
brushes attached to the locomotives
with zinc bands placed along the.
rails. The train thus continually
traces its trajectory on the glass in
dicator. The apparatus was exhib-
tied q few days ago in Germany to
q commission of German scientists.
