If We suppose that in each of ffty-two
counties fifty intelligent, informed people,
who believe in this State and its advan-
tages firmly, can be secured who will write
at least three letters annually to people at
the East who will be likely to receive in
formation concerning the State gladly, and
who have the means to come to US and aid
in our State building; and if in San Fran
cisco 500 such intelligent correspondents
can be secured, we will have $500 per-
sonal letters sent out in the next year that
must have a,decided beneficial influence in
augmenting the current, of travel to Cali
fornia, and in disseminating information
concerning the State, that will be received
without doubt or question and will be very
largely acted upon.
1t is probable that as many more people
can be Pledged to write a note of personal
Endorsement upon 10000 copies of immi-
grafton literature approved by the State
Board of Trade, and forward the same to
citizens at the East, in whose estimation
their names as indorsers will be equivalent
to demonstration of all that is set forth in
the monographs.
However viewed, this personal solicita-
ton idea by intelligent correspondents is
an excellent one, and will, in our opinion,
prove in practice to be a powerful agency
for good.

!, IF the Indian uprising now threatened
on the plains and borders should take
place, the Government should shroud the
face OF mercy for time and give the red
men such dru5bing that they nor their
descendants viii ever venture to lift hand
against the American nation. If the out
break takes place, there should be many a
good Indian made by the agency of pow.

''the dagoes" Only three natives are
known to have been killed by the Italian
assassins, and each case has aroused the
most intense excitement in which the Ital-
ians have suffered greatly. The assassin
alton of Norbert Trepagnier, the Creole
and clerk of Court, resulted in an anti-dago
riot in which number of Italians lost their
lives. Again the assassination OF Gustave
Laferranderie, also a Creole and police
officer produced a riot in which dozen
Italians were killed, or, jumping in the
river to escape their assailants, were
drowned. So the murder of Chief of Police
Hennessey has so infiamed the population
that the authorities have had much diff
ficulty in preventing hostile demonstra-
ton against "the dagoes"
1t is popularity supposed that Hennessey
would have broken up the Malta had he
lived for he had undertaken this great task
and he seldom failed. Whether his sue
cessor will be able TO do so remains to be
seen. Firm, vigorous action is demanded
by the people; and the city authorities, the
police and the Citizens Committee of Safe
ty are cooperating to get at the member
ship of the murder society 10 break up the
organization, TO find and hang the murder
ers If Hennessey, and to drive from New
Orleans the brigands, assassins and hired
"bravos," who have carried on their bust
ness here for so many years, and who have
killed any one who dared get in their way.
The Pinkertons have agreed 10 assist, anti
fund of 81, 900 is being raised by the Cit
liens Committee to help in this good work
of breaking up the murder society.
It's now war to the knife between the
Malta and American law, order and civil
lization. Unless the society is crushed the
life of no man in New Orleans who has
Joined this movement against it is safe.

The engine and trucks stopped, the
men shouldered their tools and tumbled
ont and we followed them. \ few hun
dred PAGES in front of us was railway
bridge. over which a road passed, and
under which the rail went at a sharp
curve. The snow had drifted heavily
against the bridge with its high earth
enbankment. making manifest at a
glance the cause of the disaster.
The bridge was crowded with human
figures, and on the line below men were
working in a drift amid piles of debris
and splintered wood. The wrecked train
had all been slightly draped in snow; the
engine alone. barely cold, lying back
and grim, like some mighty giant, Tor
midable in death. A sheet of glass ice
near il showed how the boiler had burst.
Some of the hindermOSt carriages were
still standing or had fallen comparative
" uninjured; but others seemed TO have
leaped upon their fellows and plowed
right through them into the drift. 1t
was well that it began TO snow as we
reached the spot. There were traces OF
dismal smearS on the white ground
which itwould be seemly to hide.
Our friend in black went forward and
asked few questions of the man in
charge and presently returned.

The Looks of Mrs. Leslie Carter.
Boston Herald.


Don't YOU often wonder, after you
have frequently read of woman, ex-
actiy how she looks? | have formed
two distinct impressions OF Mrs. Leslie
Carriers personal appearance, but that
much-discussed lady shattered both OF
them when saw her on Fifth avenue
yesterday. had well-deiined belief
that she was one of the two things
either stout and mature blonde Of eX-
cessively loud type, or Simpering,
brainless, and made-up little feather
brain. Just why, l can't say, but |
hardly expected to see lady. She was
going up Fifth avenue, near the I'M
slightly and useless old reservoir. and |
was serenity plodding along a few PAGES
in the rear. | could not help noticing
the tall, symmetrical figure, straight as
an arrow. and the two braids of marvel
Gus red hair, surmounted by pretty
little sailer cap, and falling clear below
the shapely waist. The auburn Mar
guerite braids and the free, swinging,
graceful stride Of their owner were
pleasant to look upon. This was Mrs.
Leslie Carter going to her daily re-
rehearsal at the Berkely Lyceum. Her
heavy dark eyebrows contrasted sharply
with the mass OF auburn hair brushed
straight back from her white forehead.
Her smile revealed teeth that were per-
feet. II was altogether charming face;
frank, gentle, full of purpose and eX-
presSon-the face Of a bright, alert,
quick-witted, refined woman, with
poetry i'm her soul and a will of her own
not easily thwartcd. She had slender,
nervous white fingers. and the perfectly
manicured nails were pink and polished.
Her costume was simplicity itself-a
natty little black cloth jacket, severely
plain. and a blue and white muslin
gown that deliciouSly caresSed every
curve of her faultleSs figure, and into
which she seemed actually moulded.
The faint fragrant perfume Of the morn
ing toilet enveloped her.
Mrs. Carter has very distinct and
striking individuality. The pose and
finesse of the travelled woman, the ease
and grace of one accustomed to social
reinementS the unmStakable air Of high
breeding is hers. There was something
at once perpleXng, winSome, and myS-
teriouS about her personality, even as
she stood smiling her acknowledgment
of a trivial act of courtesy extended by
stranger. Most decidedly Mrs. Leslie
Carter was not at all the sort Of women
had pictured.
