The interesting story now eoinp Tn,

The interesting story now going the
rounds of the press about tho finding of
q petrifled boa-constrictor of immense
size near Piedmont, w. Va, is n hoax.
1t is true that a wonderful discovery has
recently occurred near that place, but
instead OF its being Il large snake it is q
gigantic fern fossil of tho carboniferous
age-a sigillaria easily recognized by
the seal-like impressions and unjointed
stcm. The seal impressions are proba-
bly, what were taken for the scales OF
the snake. Tho fossil is slightly flat
tened, and is eighteen feet long and sly
inches In diameter. -Ckevsia,ld Leader.

TROUT AND OTHER FISHES.

There are few parts of the Union that
offer greater facilities than California for
the angler 10 ply his cunning art. Her
BAYS and ocean shores TEEN with all the
choice varieties of salt water fishes, while
the mountain rivers, lakes and brooks fur
nish the grandest trout-fshing to be had
anywhere All through the Coast Range
mountains are innumeraOle streams, every
one of which will well repay the angler
for the trouble of visit The Sierra Ne
Tada is perhaps as fine a trout region as
can be found anywhere. Tahoe, Bonner,
Weber, independence, Silver, and host of
other lakes are fayorite resorts for the
angler, and health and pleasure-seekers,
for their crystalline waters swarm with
trout of many varieties. Throughout this
region-from Siskiyou to San Diego-al-
most every stream is trout stream. To
mention even the chief trouting waters
of northern California, with directions
as to how to reach them, would require
more space than can now be spared for the
purpose. However the chief desire at this
time is merely to assure Eastern visitors
some of whom may think of locating
among us in the future-of the fact that
the lover of angling or shooting cannot well
90 amiss in whatever direction he may turn
in search of refined sport.
Owing to the efficiency of our State Fish
Commissioners the fishes of the bay of San
Francisco have of late years had added to
them several valuable species. Chief among
these may be mentioned the shad, carp,
black and striped bass, etc Shad are now
quite common in the San Francisco and
Sacramento markets, being taken in large
numbers by the salmon fishers along the
bay and rivers Bass are increasing rapidly,
and carp and catfish are too numerous to
mention in the basins along the San
Joaquin and Sacramento rivers. Salmon
trout are taken by hook from the bay,
besides smelts. rock cod and various
other kinds of saltwater fishes. The
waters of the interior also supply perch,
club and pike, and white fish and land
locked salmon have been placed in some
of the mountain streams and lakes. Any
details as to the choice of streams modes
of travel, the better season, etc, are readily
obtainable by any one DESTROYS of going
a-ishing."
Happy must be the man who can COM
6ine with business qualifications and in
dustry q taste for the higher and better
classes of field sports; for there is no di.
yertisement or pastime so well calculated
to tone down the rougher edges of every
| day life, and to clear the brain of cob

Expensive Economy.

Our friend of the Shreveport Times
seems to be highly gratified by the dispo-
sition manifested in the Legislature to cut
down the expenses of the government and
bring affairs to cash basis. A few days
ago the Times rejoiced because various
items in the appropriation bill were cut
down, and several members at the time
expressed themselves as strongly, nay en-
Enthusiastically, in favor of economy. The
Reriew is just as ardently in favor of re-
trenchment as the Times is. and it would
be quick to applaud any intelligent effort
in that direction; but we seriously fear
that our friend Of the Times has mistaken
a shadow for substance. We cannot
speak accurately, because the proceedings
of the House on the occasion referred to-,
are not before us; but unless we are mis-
taken most of the items which were cut
down at the time were appropriations Tor
the support Of schools, asylums, hospitals
and other public institutions of the like.
The worst kind Of parsimony in such mat
| ters is frequently mistaken for economy.
We fear this is the case in the present in
stance. We have not yet noticed any in
telligent effort by a majority Of the men,
bers, to cut down and simplify the gov
eminent service, especially the judicial
branch oft. There is wide field for the
true economist here. When it is begun,
but not before, will the Recie,o have faith
in legislative promises of reform in the ex.
penses Of governments Natchitochcs De.

Whereas, numerous petitions and state
ments from reliable sources, and through
mass meetings of the people have impress
ed me with the great distress resulting
from severe storms and foundations in
portions Of the Parishes of Rapides, Grant
and Catahoula, that the crops have been
totally destroyed, the soil in many places
washed away, fences destroyed, and cat
! tie and hogs drowned, all to such an ex-
tent that it is impossible to raise a crop of
any kind the present kind. Now, there
fore, hove thought proper to ask all
charitably dispoeed people in the State to
send contributions of provisions to these
distressed people, numbering, as reported,
1900 in the Parish of Grant, 600 in the Pa
rish of Rapides and several hundred in
Catahoula.
For the relief of sufferers in the Parish
of Rapides, contributions for 300 may be
sent to D. D. Arden, at Lecomte, and for
300 to Jacob Geiger, at Alexandria. For
those in the Parish ofGrant, contributions
may be sent to w. A. Griffin, at Pineville,
opposite Alexandria. For those i'll Cata-
houla, contributions for 400 may be sent
to Thomas Rhinehart, at Rhinehart Land
ing, and for the same number to c. G.

thousand dollars IN cash hid away where
it will neither do them or any one else
any good; and all along the Tcche col

What these men want is small farms, but
they want good ones. They are willing
to purchase if they can get good land,

and it would be stroke of good policy
for land owners to sell off small farms to
them.
