Hon. Q. M. Robertson.

Memphis Avalanche.
Among the young guard in Congress
none has entered public life under more
auspiciouss conditions than Hon s. NJ.
Robertson, who represents the Sixth
Louisiana District. He succeeded his
father, man highly honored and inn
plicltIy trusted by the people Of the dis
triet, and who died not long after his
election to Congress for the fourth time.
The present member is in the full vigor
of young manhood, over six feet tall,
and magnlficently proportioned. He is
graduate of the State Military Academy,
and for several years after finishing his
course commanded the, cadets of the in
stitntion. In this service he acquired
the fine military bearing which distin-
guishes him. He inherits from his fa
ther the gift of oratory, and his own
study and observation have aided in
his equipment. He is recognized in
Congress as man likely to rise. Per-
sonally Mr. Robertson is one of the most
generous aud companionable of men,
and his popularity is limited only by
his acquaintance.

NEW GUNS.
The Local Militia to BE Armed with the
Latest Improved Springfield Rifles.

The Local Militia to BE Armed with the
Latest Improved Springfield Rifles.
Acknowledgement orion has informed
the soldier boys of the First Artillery Regi-
ment that he has ordered for their equip
ment, in addition to the new uniforms,
500 stand of the latest improved Govern
ment Springfield rifles, and that they will
be received and distributed to the various
companies in a very short time These
rifles are classed as among the most i'm
proved and best military guns. It has the
new improved chased trigger and the new
wind gauge sights. The lock is fitted to
the three nick or safety notch. This will
necessitate the companies adopting the new
rule in inspection arms. The rifleis of the
regulation six-pound pull of trigger, and is
fitted with tight russell straps. In this con-
nection it is also learned that the battery
company (Bl is to be supplied with four
new three-inch breech loading steel
ritied guns, complete with caissons,
etc. The twelve-pounder brass guns now
in service will then be discarded. 1t is pre-
sumed, however, that the Calling guns
will be retained. General Orion has by
his action greatly ingratiated himself into
the favor of the local militia men. The
tlme-worn complaint concerning those
=" old condemned guns will now be heard
no more. Company G, the best-shot COM
pany in the State service, will now have the
long-looked-for opportunity to meet some
of the self-styled champion companies on
equal terms.
On the 10Th instant there will be an cleo
ton for First and Second Lieutenant in
Company G. 1t is supposed that new men
will be elected, as both Lieutenant Shee-
han and Lieutenant Flaherty have given
out that they will not be candidates for re-
election. A brigade staff officer has been
detailed to preside at the election.
On the same evening there will be a
battalion drill by the city companies, and
on tomorrow evening there will be drill
for the non-commissioned officers.

Description of a New Industry Upon this
Coast.
California has ever been in the lead as
an agricultural and mining section, and
has always contented herself with the
manufactured articles of other States.
Why this should be so is hard to under
stand, for the field for the manufacturer is
here unsurpassed. Rivers of water power
running to waste, sunshine for 365 DAYS in
the year, ice and snow q thing hardly
known, one would think, considering her
many natural advantages, that Sacramento
city, and in fact the Sacramento valley.
should be filled with manufacturing enter
prises. George Z. Hart, of Union, n. H.
came to this coast several weeks ago TO
start an excelsior mandatory, and look
ing about for a good location, wisely Sc
lected this city. He Immediately secured
lot at Sixth and II streets, and is now
having erected thereon a two-story build
ing, in size 40x80 feet. The excelsior of
commerce is the woody fiber used
IN upholstering and bedding The
manufacture of this article dates
back for more than a dozen wears.
but only in the last five years has its man
ufacture been made on a large scale. Mr..
Hart and his brothers are pioneers in this

the machinery used in making the excel
slor is covered by their letters patent In
New Hampshire the wood used in the man.
ufacture of this material is exclusively
poplar. Here they will use sycamore,
white willow and cottonwood. The PIE
pairing of the wood requires considerable
skill. 1t has to be pealed at certain time
OF the year, and to make first-class article
it must be thoroughly dry, straight-grained
and free from knots. Fourteen upright
single-acting excelsior cutting machines
will be put in the new mill, and they will
have capacity of about five tons per day.
These machines will be driven by a CO.
horse power steam engine. The wood is
cut up into blocks about six inches square
at the end, and eighteen inches long. These
sticks of wood are fed into the scratching
and shaving machines, and come out the
excelsior of commerce. The manufactured
article is pressed into bales in size two by
three feet. and three and a half feet in
length, weighing about $50 pounds. The
new mills will be ready for operation on
the 10th of February.
