THRouaH the courtesy of Mr.. G.
NJ. Richard, the efficient and obliging
chief clerk in the Assessors Office, we
are enabled to lay before our readers
this week the total assessment Of
property in the parish of Calcasieu foI
the year 1886, which shows q consid
cradle increase in values over that of
1885, and, furthermore. it shows that
our parish is steadily increasing in
wealth and population. The assess
ment for 1886 is $8,l0l, 1876 against
IS ,0ls, $40 in 1885, an increase over
last year of $l72,555. If this parish
continues to grow in wealth and pOpu
uIation for the next five years as
it has for the past five, CaIcasieu
will be the banner parish of South
west Louisiana, and there is no reason
why it should not, as there is no parish
in the State whose soil is more adapt
able to diversified farming, stock
raising, ctc,, than the parish Of Cal
-casieu.

We call special attention to the
change in the advertisement Of the
Southern Pacific Company, in this
weeks issue. That all passengers,
when it is possible to do so, are
required to purchase tickets Of the
agent before entering the cars. We
called attention to the fact that pas.
senger coach had been attached to the
local freights for the accommodation
of Travellers in our last Issue. Oar
people should show their appreciation
Of this matter 10y giving the road as
little trouble as possible, by always
getting their tickets before entering
the car and never get on OF off trains
while they are moving. 1t is danger,
our. Remember, il by imprndent acts
we cause this change to work badly
for the road, it may not last long.

Lake Charles appears determined to
have 'Louisiana University" of her
own, and is not calling upon the State
Hercules to construct it. Her own
stalwart shoulder is at the wheel. In
like spirit her people meet to-day
(16th), to vote tax upon themselves
to establish waterworks. We shall be
surprised if Progress does not carry
the majority.-City Item.
The university business is all right,
but the waterworks scheme was laid on
the shelf by vote of almost five to
one against it.

THE LICK TELESCOPE.
How the Big Lenses Will BE Shipped
to California.

to California.
The two great lenses for the Lick
telescope, on which the Messrs. Clark
of Cambridge have been so long at
work, are now. says the Boston Tran
script, practically completed, and will
soon be sent to their destination. The
plan adopted for shipping the double
lens, worked out by Captain Fraser, is
as follows: The two glasses will first
be wrapped separately in fifteen or
twenty thicknesses of cloth drawn
very tight. The cloth will be cotton,
and in order to make 1t soft and per.
fectly free from grit 1t will be washed
many times and thoroughly beaten.
Next to the cloth will come q thick
layer of cotton batting and then a
layer of paper. A box made of wool
and linen with felt will contain the
glasses when so prepared, the felt lin
ing + the box coming next to the paper.
The lenses with their covering will be
packed tightly in this box. The shape
of this box will conform to the shape
of the lenses. The felt will be at.
tached with glue, so that no nails
will lie anywhere near the glass.
Outside of this wooden box, and in
closing 1t, will be a strong steel box,
about the shape of cube. The
wooden box will be tightly packed into
the steel box with curled hair To in.
close this steel box will be still another
steel box or chest, and the inner steel
box will be kept from touching 1t by a
large number of spiral springs covering
the whole interior of the outer steel
chest. This outer chest will be packed
with asbestos to render it fire.proof,
and both of The steel boxes will be made
alright and waterproof. The outer
chest will be suspended by pivots in a
strong wooden frame, and a contrivance
has been adopted for turning the chest
one quarter around every day during
its progress to California. This is to
prevent any molecular disarrangement
in the glass, and to avoid the danger
of polarization, 1t being feared
that the jarring of the train will dis.
turb the present arrangement of the
molecules unless the position of the
glass is daily changed, and all lines of
disturbance thus broken up. The
glass will be insured for Its full value
or rather its cost-$51 ,000 and all the
precautions mentioned are taken to pre-
vent any accident to it. 1t would prob
ably be impossible to replaced 1t, as Fell,
who cast It, and the elder Clark, who
ground it, are both old men. The glass

"THE FoREsTERs HOME"
A New Painting Ia tho Corooran Art
Gallery which Cost $4,000.

A New Painting Ia tho Corcoran Art
Gallery Which Cost $4,000.
The Corcoran Art Gallery has been
enriched in the past few days by the
addition of the fine painting by Lud-
wig Kuaus, bought last summer by the
agents of the gallery at the Berlin Bx-
position, and which had been expected
here early in November. The picture,
which is entitled "Tho Forcster's
Home" is considered masterpiece of
the artist and cost $4,000. Only one
other specimen by the same artist Is
owned in this country. 1t is called
The Mud Pie" and hangs in Mr.
Walters gallery in Baltimore. His
peculiar talent lies in the skillful and
perfect detail and the wonderful cor
r,ctncss of each homcly scene he
paints.
"The Foresters Home" represents
the interior of a mountain cottage, aud

The picture hangs on the north wall
of the main gallery, to the left of Mr..
Corcoran's portrait, who was amongst
the earliest to view it on Tuesday when
1t was first hung. The pleasure Of al
miring all the new treasures in the
gallery as soon as received has been
keenly enjoyed by Mr.. Corcoran, but
now his failing eyesight robs him of
much Of the satisfaction and detracts
from the critical examination he was
able before to give them. The picture
has been much admired, and is one of
the great attractions now to the daily
visitors.
