General Manager Gault, sccorn>
panied by several other prominent
officials Of the Queen and Crescent rail-
road system, passed through here Mon
day ON tour of inspection Of their
roads. They stopped here several
hours visiting the passenger and
freight depots and the shops. The
shops are now being enlarged and
when completed will give employment
to $50 or 800 wol kmen. Only about
seventy five are now employed.
Mr.. Gautt held conference with
Mayor Endom before leaving relative
to converting the railroad bridge into
a foot and wagon bridge also. We are
glad to state that Mr.. Gault was found
more than favorably disposed towards
the enterprise and that arrangements
were arrived at by which, il the con-
sent of the police jury can be obtained,
the bridge will be opened up to gen.
eral traffic within the next sixty days.
Mr.. Gault left the cOnsuInation of the
enterprise in the hands Of Hon. II. p.
Stubbs, who is attorney for the railroad
here.

A Sensation.

Our usually quiet city has been in a
stir Of excitement the past week over
a controversy between the Rev. F. S.
DeMattos, OF Grace Episcopal church
and portion of his flock. 1t az. ms
that the young divine is nothing If
not "high 'churchman," and since
his arrival here he has made radical
changes In the conduct of the church.
sffairs and scattered the flock besides.
1t seems that the action of Mr.. DeMat-
tos in changing the day of communion
from the lst to the 18th of the month
occasioned remark by Il lady mem
Der Of the church which, reaching Mr..
DeMaltos, made him very angry,
and on Sunday he denounced the state.
ment from the pulpit as lie and the
lady making 1t as noionger lady, but
woman. Such language coming from
q minister and in 'denurciation of a
lady of high standing in church and
society naturally caused great excite
ment. The husband of the lady re-
ferred to at once addressed note 10 the
reverend gentleman and correspond
ence was kept up until yesterday when
the matter was amicably arranged by
Mr.. Mattos signing nm apology.
1t is fair to presume that the pulpit
OF Grace Episcopal church will he va
cant until another pastor is called.

River News.

The steamer D. c. Fogel from st.
Francis river, Arkansas, arrived at
New Orleans last Thursday with oue
million, one hundred thousand feet of
cypress timber In tow.
1t now appears that of the SIT 500
appropriated for the improvement of
the Ouachita river, the sum of $500,
or 80 much thereof as may be necessa.
~, is appropriated for repairing the
snag boat o. g. Wagner. 1t occurs to
us that instead Of approprIating that
much for repairing the Wagner the
government should have kept the en~
tire amount and built q new snag boat.
We hope, however, that the remain.
ing $4,000 will be judiciously ex-
pended where it will do the most good.
The same old trouble exists again In
Old river which has for years past been
a menace to steamboatmen. The Pic.
ayune, regarding the stage of water,
says:
The wafer In Old river Is becoming
very, very scant, aud the bottom very
1umpy, and the stesmboatmen pre-
dict that if something is not done to
improve the state of affairs up there the
channel will be closed inside Of three
weeks and navigation suspended. The
closing OF the Old river would cut off
water communication with the country
bordering on the Red, Ouachita, At.
chafa'aya, Iensas, Black, Little aud
BCeuf rivers and Bayous Macon and
Teche, and entail great losses upon
steamboat owners, as we'll as upon
merchants and planters.
The river and harbor bill which
finally passed Congress last Thursday
appropriates the following sums of
money for the improvement of rivers
in louisiana: Mississippi, from the
passes to the mouth OF the Ohio,
s., 900, 900; Beaf river, 5000; Bayou
Bartholomew, $4,000; Bayou D'Ar-
bonnie, $1,000; Tcnsas river and Bayou
Macon, $4,000; Ouachita river aud
Black river, $l7 800. Red river gets
the handsome sum of $4,000 for i'm
provements, or more than four times
as much as the Ouachita gets and will
consequently be benefited, whereas it
is doubtful whether the small appro-
priation OF $17, 800 to the Ouachita will
be OF any material benefit TO naviga-
ton. The Ouachita should have had
fully as much appropriated as was
given to Red river, and doubtless CON.
gress sometime ia the near future will
be prevailed upon to consider the JUST
ness Of the claim and grant the neccs
sary funds to actually improve naviga-
ton on this stream.

The Compress.

Work on the compress is progressing
very favorably, and there is now blu.
littlo doubt that the entire work yet TO
be done will be completed in ample
time for the press to begin work next
month. The boilers have been placed
in position and leveled and boiler
room, about fifty feet square, work on
which will be begun Monday, will be
built. Work on the sides and ends of
the warehouses, which are being en-
closed with corrugated iron, is pro-

morning. They played only one game
with the Hicks team, almost shutting
them ou', the score standing 10 to l.
The attendance was so small they were
DOT justified in staying longer at

After reaching here arrangements
were made with the Monroes for
another game at Gerspach's park.
The game was called promptly Mt 4
O'Clock, with only small audience in
attendance. Oar boys again met with
defeat, but they are rXcusable, copsid-

were unable to play. The score stood

summoned on jury, sit is impossible
for me to serve. My business is such
that can not leave it"
"Any man can plead business" the
judge replied.
Eyes, know, but every mans bust
ness is not so pressing as mine is. I
tell you that no one but myself can
attend to it. -
"Well, l will excuse you"
The man went away-went a-fishing.
The next day bench warrant was
issued for him.
II can make no defense, your honor,

but myself can do my fishing. If any
one else were to do it 1 would not enjoy
it in the least. There are times when
man has to fish-got to do it. Bass
and pike are striking now. Yesterday,
after trying minnows without success,
| tried troll. Well, sir, a five-pound
bass nabbed it before it had touched
the water. He was so large, and pulled
so hard, that had to play him. Never

BARN STABLES.
Essential Points to be Observed in Their
Construction.

Essential IO1ntS TO De observed IN Tne Ii
Construction.
Every year new stables, barns and
other outbuildings are going up, either
to replace worn-out structures or to
furnish additional space for stock. In
planning, the prominent idea to be
kept in mind is the definite use for
which the building is intended. There
is no more unsound idea in the build
ing of a combined barn and stable than
in allowing the breath and other effiuvia
to pass into the fodder and other food
of the stock. In other words, the ven
tilation of the stables should not pass
through the NOW or the barn.
In the building and arrangement of
the stable warmth is the essential in
teger, and. the ventilation being cor
rect, the stable can not be made too
tight. Probably nine stables out of ten
are built with the floors raised above
the earth, and so the wind has full sweep
beneath the floor. The effect is, the
animals are constantly being chilled as
to their feet and limbs, reacting on the
whole body. All stables should be laid
on solid walls, and the stable floor, in
stead of being laid upon bearings,
should be let into the stills of the struct-
ure, upon bearings laid directly on the
ground. The scantling, thus laid, will
last as long as the floor, and as q rule
fully as long as when let into the siIls.
If drainage underneath is intended,
this must be done before the floor is
laid, and the pipes for this drainage
should not be less than six inches in
diameter. 1t is worse than useless to
lay such drains unless there is consider
able fall and ample means for flushing,
when necessary. In fact, as a rule,
stables in the country are better with
out drains, except along the floors. II
is preferable that the liquid manure be
absorbed with dry clay, or other SINH
lar material. for thus the most valuable
portion of the manure is saved.
The floors Of stables are usually made
of thick plank. They are by no means
the best. The foundation may be six
inches of broken stone, thoroughly
pounded and solidified. On this is a
thin layer of gravel laid and pounded
smooth; on this again good cement of
sharp gravel, sand and cement is laid.
When finished it should be kept moist
for some time before it is used-if for
three months it will be better. On such
a floor comparatively little water will
keep all sweet and clean.
Now if the stable is laid with we'll
matched floor alone of seasoned plank
thoroughly driven home, and if it is
ceiled in from the rest of the barn,
where only portion of the floor is
used as stable, there will be no danger
of contamination of the food of the
animals by any efliuvia therefrom. -
