Mechanical Ingenuity Of Farnsrs.

A team and two or three men are some-
times stopped whole day at critical
season for want of little mechanical
skill. 1t Il well for every farmer to have
on hand the faculties for repairing. In
addition to the more common tools. he
should keep on hand supply Of nails Of
different sizes, screws, bolts and nuta.

We give below an accurate description
Of an impostor who has been ''doing''
this State for the past two years. He
claims TO be Mason and q devout Epis-
copalian, and travels under ths name Of
Robert Han with several aliases. When
he falls to work the Aasons he tries his
religious dodge. He was here last Feb
ruary - Robert Han, Mason in dire
distress. He hailed from California.
The Lodge here gave him assistance, and
he went on his way rejoicing. He re-
turned here this week under the name Of
]. L. Curtis, and was st'll in distress. He
attempted to work the Lodge here again
but fortunately was recognized by Hon.
F. P. Stubbs, who collared him and took
him before the high sheriff. Mr.. Hall
was very glad to get OF BY disgorging his
ill-gotten. gpins. Before he left town,
however, he succeeded in defranding his
boarding -house out of o. In cash and his
board bill under the plea that he was
devout Episcopalian, travelling in the
service Of the church. We ask our ex-
changes to pass this scoundrel around.
Here u his description and account Of
his dOings:
Alexandra, La, Dec. 92d, 1884.

Dear Sir and BrOther-By order of this
Lodge write to inform you of an attempt
to deceive this Lodge by an old man who
last February called himself Robert Hall.
The w. II. OF this Lodge aud myself ex-
amined him and gave him go; q few
days ago he came back here under the
name OF I. L. Curtis, and tried to make
another raise out of us. Bro. Klein told
him II be had come back a. the sslne
man we helped In February end was in
distress again, we would have helped
him again. Last February he was from
this time he was from Arizena.
He Is about It. 6 or s inches high, with
gray beard; talks short and jerky, like q |
man with fever on him; has lost his teeth |
and chews tobacco with his whole under |
jaw In motion. We write to ron that |
you may warn the State IN the monthly |
report.
Respectfully and fraternatly,

SETTLERS on RAILROAD LANDS.

The Times-D Democrat gave some
time ago a full and complete ac-
count of the views and rulings Of
the Interior Department on the
land claim of the Vlcksburg, Shire
veport and Pacific Railroad, and
especially to the lands occupied
by settlers. This report was pre-
pared after consultation with the
officers of the department and COW
cred all the various points that
have come up or are likely to do
80. Being resubmitted to the de-
partment for approval or correc-
ton, it has been indorsed as an au-
thentic and correct view of the
matter with one modification. This
IS in regard to the act of Congress
of 1876, quoted in the dispatch as
quietlng the titles of bona fde set
tiers on railroad lands and which
was assumed to apply to cases ari-
sing since the passage OF the law,
whereas the law clerk Of the de-
partment declares it does not so
apply. The settlers, therefore,
who went On lands already certl-
fed to the railroad previous to the
passage of this act, in 1876, and
after the expiration of the time
allowed the company to fulfill its
had . right, under the
law, to make good their titles by
application to the Land Office, and
II they did so, arc protected to-day.
The act of 1876, SO the law clerk
insists, referred to cases then IN
existence, and its operations were
DOR prospective. According to
his, the settlers who had not, pre-
vious to 1876, made an effort to
secure titles, could not afterward
10 so, and similarly those coming |
n after 1876 had no protection.
At the same time 1t was declared
hat unless Congress formally con-
l0ned the breach of contract and |
'einetated the railroad company in |
ts title, there should be no dis
urbance of the settlers. The De-
,artment holds that, as matter of |
act, the rights of the company are
orfelted now; and although it has
'ome to be . custom to require
his forfeiture to be distinctly sane
toned BY Congress before it il Ne
,arded Is complete and final, 4 slt-
lati0n such as the present
perates as = moral disquallfca-
ION, and prevents the company
rom enforcing any Of its claims.
The question largely depends, it
1ill be seen, ON the action taken
y Congress, which will affect
aany Of the settlers on this rail-
Dad land. At the same time. It
'ould Be well now, before Con-
ress acts IN the matter, to test le-
ally and oficlally these questions
and the Times Democrotl
snews its offer to the press Of the
arishes interested, to have the
sttlers in these railroad lands
lake up their claims; and it will
se to it that they are pressed to an
lrly decislon.-T.-D.

A Bit Of History.

It IL doubtless unknown to many of
our readers that we have In this section
city that in age ranks fourth in the
roll of cities In North America. We
refer to Natchitoches which was discev.
cred by La Sale in 1885. 1t was then IN
Indian village with its present name.
Thirty years later in 17l7, N. De La
Aonette took possession of the village,
and "settled'' the present city of
Natchitoches upon its ruins. Its aborie-
ional inhabitants he drove further west
and Natchitoches thus became the fourth
permanent white settlement In North
America. &ars<>s 20.
While there Il nothing Of great practi-
cal value to be derived from antiquity Of
origin, yet there IL an oldtime flavor
about much Of Louisiana's soil taat
invests the localities with something
more than transient, ephemeral Interest
The age Of slow growth is often an age of
leisure, and it is not to be denied
that the very slow pace in the materia
Of the nation gave to the
world Of America our most profound
statesmen.
1t Is pleasing to reflect upon the histo-
rical antiquity Of our section. There arr
many spots In Louisiana that are halloved
by the great events Of past years, and It
would serve to keep alive patriotic fervor
md State pride II pupils in the public
schools were required TO master fully the
early history Of our State.-SAresepors
