a great deal of feeling among the alien

that it. was aimed at them. The regis

SAFE FROM THE BLIZZARD.


The total loss of life by the
late blizzard is now fixed at 235
for the Norihwest-that Is, for
the region tributary to St. Paul,
including Nebraska, Dakota and
Minnesota, whilelprobably twenty
five will. be about a. correct esti-
mate for tho remainder of the
country, making q total loss, of
life by the cold wave of 260.
Tho extent of the wave Is now
very clearly marked. The biz
zard proper was confined to the
Northwestern prairies, but the
cold extended over a much wider
area. No deaths are reported
east Of Chicago, but from Texas,
particularly from the tresless and
bleak plains Of Western Texas,
several cases Of "frozen to death"
come, The wave exhausted itself
west of the Mississippi, and al
though it struck the Gulf at New
Orleans, II was in very mild and
attenuated form, bringing the
Thermometer below, ,,freezlng point
only . few hours and doing no
damage to crops or stock.
The experience of the storm
has proved very clearly that
Louisiana is beycnd tho reach of
the blizzard, or Of any Of its eff
fects. Perhaps no seyerer cold
wave has ever struck the county
than this last one; it seemed to
make straight in this direction,
but it broke all to pieces before
it got here, and the only experi-
ence that people of this section
had Of it was that they were COM
PEELED to wear their .oYercoats for
acouple of days. ra6 h47
The weeks weather has shown
immigrants that here in Louisiana
they can find a home safe from
the cold stolms that pour down
fiom the Rocky Mountains; safe
from ice, snow and hypcrborean
blasts, and with an abundance OF
fuel at their very doors, should
unpleasantly cool weather come
down on them from the North

STAND BY THE COLLEGES.

The State horticultural Socie-
ty, at its recent annual meeting
at Crystal Springs, unanimously
adopted the following petition
and resolutions, expressing tho
sense Of the society in regard to
the duty of the State touching
the Industrial Institute and Col
lege, and the Agricultural and
Mechanical College;
To the Senate and House of
Representatives of the State of
Mississippi: In view of the fact
that Mississippi is almost exclu-
siyely an agricultural State, and
that her wealth and prosperity
must always come chiefly from
her soil, and that she is making a
grand forward movement in ag-
riculture, horticulture and her
other industries largely through
the influence of her industrial
colleges, and that these instItu-
tions are yearly sending out moro
young men and young women as
able, industrial teachers, and
more young men who become
farmers, than any ether college
in the South or the nation; there
fore, s8i 3o aaua
Resolved, That the services OF
President Lee, of the State A..
ard M. College at StarkvilIe, and
of President Jones, of the Indus
trial College at Columbus, and
the services of the faculties of
these Colleges, meet with the
hearty appreciation and unquali-
fed approvatof this society.
Resolved, further, That this
society earnestly urge and pray
the Legislature of this Safe, now
in session, to stand by aud sus-
tain these institutions by liberal
appropriations, and that any EN-
barrassment for want of such sur z
port would, IN our estimation,
prove to be a great pubic caIarn-
ity, and that we, as representa-
tiyes from almost all parts of the
State, feel and believe that these
resolutions are in accord with the
views and feelings of the citizens
cfour respective communities.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(Froni our Regular Correspcndent.)
n - ---.n ~ y. .

(srom our Regular correspondentj
WASHINGTON, Jan. 81, 1888.
The first two bills passed by the
the present Congress to become
laws arc, the act in reference to
printing and writing on second,
third and fourth class mail matter,
and the one which amends the law
in relation TO the Commissioner
Of Fish and Fisheries--tbe Presi-
dent having approved both during
the past week. During the period
in question, Congress did little Of
Importance. The Senate passed
the bill to credit and pay to the
several States and Territories all
moneys collected under the direct
tax act, approved Aug. 5, 1861.
But the great work of the Senate
du-lng the past week, was the
confirmation of Mr.. Lamar, des-
pite the treacherous opposition OF
the Republicans to that BRILLIANT
and distinguished statesman. The
Ex-Secretary passed through the
long contest unscathed, and he
wears his new and crowning
honor with becoming modesty and
characteristic dignity. In accor-
dance with custom, the new Asso :.
ciate Justice was assigned seat
on the extreme left of his fellow
justices.
The Senate had under consider
alton the Blair bill, but as usual,
reached no conclusion. Messrs
Blair and Reagan had rather a
heated discussion over the third
question, in which the former was
decidedly morsted. Ex-Justice OF
the. Supreme Coult, Strong, ex-.
presses the opinion that the bill is
unconstitutional. Senator Hoar
has introduced a service pension
bill, which is the most radical
measure of the kind yet presented,
providing as it does that all officers
and enlisted men who served in
the amy, navy. or marine corps,
