SPRINGTIME IN LOUISIANA.

Readers Of North and South. do
you know that one Of the fairest
spots in this broad land b the State
Of Louisiana? 1t win Be spsingtime
there in . month, and while We in the
North are shivering In the bleak
March winds, the farmers Of Louisi-
ana viii be blowing their corn and
planting cotton and cutting winter
grass ''knee high for their work
animals, while their 6ocks and herds
feed abundantly upon the luxuriant
Wild grass which covers prairie, HILL
side aud common.
BY this time In Louisiana nature
viii have awakened from her light
winters slumber, and spring spread
her bridal garments over the earth.
The orange trees will be white with
blossoms, which blend their perfume
With the tea, olive, magnolia, fusca-
t., yellow jesamine and roses, and
other sweet shrubs, vines and
thousands Of flowers. The birds
have already commenced house,
keeping, and sing glad songs In
harmony with al the animate crea-
ton, to welcome the springtime to
that lovely land.
Do you ask Why We have in the
pest heard % little Of the wonderful
Of Louisiana? It b because
until within . few years past no ef.
loFts have been made 10 induce i'm
migrants to settle In that State. No
glowing advertisements BY railroads
and land companies, for the reason
hat they don't own public lands.
Those immigrants who have found
heir way to the State have acted
apon information obtained from
general reading, friends living there

,orn citizens reside In the State.
They have found . country in al
aspects equal to their anticipation,

San Francisco, April 25.-Msny peo-
pie here think that. notwithstanding his
possession of millions of dollars, G.. ,.
IIuntington's lines are not cast in pleas
ant places, He has only just patched up
peace with Senator Stanford, to whom
he had to apologize for a rather uncom-
plimentary criticism, and now comes his
son in law, Prince Hatzfeldt, who has
been tieeced almost to bankruptcy at the
Monte Carlo gaming tables, to make
another raid on his purse. Huntington
never did like the prince anyway, and
now he has a positive aversion for him.
However, Mr.. Huntington is in fair
way himself to become positively disiked
on the Pacific slope. His sentiments
toward the Chinese are not in harmony
with those 81 tertained by California citi-
zens for the same race He is in favor of
multiplying the Chinese exclusion act, and
in defense of his opinion holds that the
Chinese do not injure the Cau"asia labor
ers in this state. He thinks if there we're
more Chinese here there would be more
work for Caucasians, and claims that
there is need OF more laborers, and rs the
white and black people are not coming
here in sufficient numbers he is in favor OF
admitting the Monaghan.

New YORK, April 26.-Tammany hall
has new candidate for presidential
honors in 1892. That organization has
decided that neither Cleveland nor Hill
will be an available candidate before the
national convention, and it has there
fore looked over the field with the view
OF discovering man whom it could sup
port and whose claims of success are at
least fair. The organization never had
much use for Cleveland. He was nom-
mated in Chicago in the face OF its
protest, and Was elected, notwithstand-
ing its covert hostility to him. When he
became president he kept the loaves and
fishes away from Tammany. The
breach between them was not bridged
when they traded him to get votes for
the Democratic candidate for mayor,
Hill would be perfectly satisfactory to
Tammany, but it is known that the Cleve-
land men will prevent his nomination
at all hazards. Tammany has therefore
picked out new man, who is not
New York man, but whom it thinks all
the factions in the state will support.
Its choice is Chief Justice Fuller. He
will be satisfactory to the Cleveland men
and also to the Hill following. Although
born in Maine, he is u resident of Chi.
cago, and will therefore. iu addition to
New York, receive, the support OF the
western states eamnany entertains no

CASTLE GARDEN NO MORE.
Immigrants will Hereafter be Landed at
Governors Island.

NEW YORK, April 26.-The days of Cas-.
tie Garden, so long celebrated as the land
ing place of almost innumerable immi-
grants, are at an end, as the government
has arranged for the transfer OF these peu-
pie at Governors island. SO far as the
beauty Of the lower part Of the city is con
cerned, the removal OF Castle Garden will
be great boon in spite Of the fact that
very few people are to be found as resi-
dents in that quarter. There is even some
talk of removing the unsightly elevated
road which runs through the eastern por-
ton OF Battery park. If this could be
done, and the old dilapidated buildings
be removed, one of the prettiest places of
resort to be found anywhere in the world
would be built up. 1t has been proposed
in some quarters to bring the Battery back
to some of its old time glories by holding
summer concerts there. The old residents
OF New York of an artistic turn of mind
never tire OF talking Of the days when
Castle Garden was really a concert and
opera hall OF the highest class. The
echoes OF Jenny Lind's voice may almost
be heard yet in the narratives of these
people, glory which to them seems 10 be
lost forever and for the return Of which
they are always scheming

SAINT PAUL.
SUNDAY GOSSIP.

St Paul is a deserted city to-day. Those OF
her population who have been prevented,
by the nature of their occupation, from
spending their evenings on the shores OF the
lake will find some means to reach haven
of rest 10 day. White Bear that most con-
Venient and beautiful of resorts tor fatlgneo
city people, will get most OF the tourists,
while aristoeratc Minnetonka, with lts
broader shores and more pretentlouS notels,
will also haye a big day on this July sunday
Both of these lakes have now upon their
shores and will have for the next few weeks,
several hundreds of people whose homes are
thousands of miles away III the 1ar South
and West. These are teachers VINO nave
been III attendance on the just closed euuca-
tional convention, and who, charmed by the
many beauties they have encountered III
their brief stay, are 10th to leave localty III
which so many pleasant assoclatloIs Gus hahe ahe
been formed About thirty ladies from tne
Southern states left the city Yesterday after
noon Tor Minnetonka, with the avowed IN
tenton of remaining in Minnesota 1or
month.
It NAV be that some will stay even longer
perhaps will eventually decide to make their
Stay permanency. Stranger things nave
happened recently, and Ill view OF the 1hGe
that certain young st. Paulltes Oh the male
gender are devoting great deal OF attentioH

may be captured by another agency than the
leauty of rural scenery before the owners

Stay.
Certain it Is, that brunette youth from
Vermont. who has found more congenial oc-
cupation during his stay here than mat Oh
listening to addresses OH higher education,
will not return unscathed to his native hills.
Ills devotion to q we'll known young lady,
teacher in one of the St. Paul schools has
been genera lily observed. and caused more
than passing comment That the lady
seemed TO rather like the attentions of the
handsome Vermonter makes the at,
it is whispered by the old stagers, whe ought
to know, that the next two weeks spent in
each others society at the lakeside, with the
glamor of evening strollings under the soft
rays of Minnesota moon, will be all that is
necessary to complete a first-class romance
IN two short chapters.

UNDER THE LIND LAW.

Provisions and Times of Holding
Federal Courts in Minnesota.
The United States circuit and district
courts will be On wheels after the 1st
of August. That is the time that the
new provisions under the Lind bill go
into effect. Under the new order OF
affairs both courts will be held at the
same time. The bill also created new
courts in the Minnesota district. The
courts will be held in Minneapolis be-
ginni ng the first Tuesday in September.
They will then make tour of Fergus
Falls, Duluth, Mankato, Winona and
return to st. Paul.
Two terms year will be held in each
place. They begin at st. Paul the see
ond Tuesday in January and the fourth
Tuesday in June; Minneapolis, the first
Tuesdays in March and September;
Duluth, the second Tuesdays in May
and October; Winona, the first Tues
days in June and December; MankatO,
the third Tuesday in April and the first
Tuesday in November; Fergus Fails,
the fourth Tuesdays in March and Sep
tember. The questions of court rooms
and necessary offices for holding the
courts and accommodation of the off
GERS where there are no provision OF
government buildings are agitating
the minds of those whose duty 1t is to
hold the courts. 1t was loosely re-
marked by a government official that
the Minnesota delegation in congress
will have chance to get solid with con-
stituents by securing appropriations for
DubIic buildings
