immigration.

We give the following on immigration
from the pen Of the Hon. T. Sambola
Jones, of the Baton Rouge Ad0ocats
We live In the most inviting country
upon which the sun shines From its en-
tire extent an invitation goes forth to the
OVERLOOKING North, come and till where
the South wind blows softly. While the
North has it's billiards., covering the earth
with snow, filing the streams with ice,
and the air with an influence chilling as
death itself, we never have cold reaching
much below the freezing point, and seldom
lasting more than twenty four or forty
hours. It is therefore delightful coun-
try. Stock of all kind can be raised
almost without expense. Here let the
stockraisers of the West and Northwest
come and amass fortune almost without
labor. No such country can be found for
fowls as is ours. The traditional turkey,
the chicken, whose eggs would almost
enrich the man from the North, these and
all domestic fowls can be raised almost
without expense. Here then is the place
for the small farmer. In few years he
will grow rich, and with but little severe
labor, or any great self denial.
The South halls all industrious men,
who, with their families, will not only
grow rich themselves, but will add largely
to the wealth of our common country. A
more noble, warm hearted people than are
found in the South cannot be found any
where on this broad earth. They will Re-
ceive the immigrant from the frozen North
with all generosity and kindness. There
is room here for thousands and employ
ment for all.
With the most delightful climate, the
richest soil, thu greatest variety of occu-
pations, with openings especially for
small farmers, with large fields for sugar
and cotton, we extend cordial invitation
to all Industrious and frugal people to
come to Louisiana and help us and help
themselves

DR.. Talmage's Congregation.

Talmage breaches not alone to the 5000
souls who are to fill the grand new taber-
nacle that is now rising over the ashes of
the old one, but to the four corners of the
earth. His words are translated into all
tongues, and appear in Scandinavia in
Swedish, and in Spain in Spanish, as they
are in English in England. They are not
infrequsntly met with in Chinese, in ia
panese, in Turkish and in Hindoostanee as
well. The late Henry Gr7dy computed
that each of his sermons in all lands has
circulation of 80, 100000. But even at the
most conservative estimate possible it is
beyond all cavil and dispute that eve'y
Sunday Brooklyn's famous divine speaks
to at least 100000 souls.-NeD York

Where Cereals Are Grown.

America stands first on the list of wheat
producing countries, and is greatly in the
lead in the production of corn. AS COM
pared with Russia, the crop of the United
States is more than hundred times greater.
In oats, too we exceed Russia by nearly
twenty per cent on the average. The
greater part of the bread OF Eastern Europe
is made of rye. Russia alone raises nearly
700, O0O,0 900 bushels of rye annually, and
the average net harvest of all cereals in
that country is about l 100, 900, 600 bushels
The production of the United States
reaches annually nearly 5000, 100000
bushels. or almost three times that of
Russia. Leaving out the enormous pro-
duction of corn in this country, and the
remaining cereals are only about 100, 600, =
600 bushels greater than Russia, this chief
advantage being in wheat and oats. Be
sides the consumption of rye by its own
inhabitants, Russia exports twenty times
more of it than the United States, eighteen
times as many oats, and forty times as
much barley. Minneapolis Tribune.

"A Louisiana Home.

Through broad avenue of moss draped
oaks we drove to the door, where the family
servants were gathered to receive us.
How can hope to make one see that
mighty hall, through which we could drive
the traditional coach and four, the grand
old staircase, the beautiful oak and cypress
walls and ceilings, mellowed with age, the
carved mahogany doors with chased silver
knobs and hinges.
All the rooms in this old house were
built as liz In memory of the days when
there were giants upon the earth. Lofty
ceilings, wide windows and many and huge
iireplaces - though in this sunny land
winter is only an almanac fgment-are the
features OF every room. BY the time had
changed my travelling gown supper was
announced.
Do you know what Creole supper is 2
In the FIRST place there was no tea, but
most delicious cafe an lait. A great dish
piled high with rosy shrimp, crystals of
ice shining among them, fricssseed
chicken favored juste an pointe, deviled
eggs, hot and cold breads, cakes and pre-
serves. The china and silver were no
modern conceits. Suspended from the
ceiling and crossWise of the table was an
immense fan of peacock feathers. A cord
hung from it, which was held by 8 little
dsrkey who pulled it gently to and fro.
This small African, overshadoWed by
the name Of Agamemnon, so gloried in
his Office OF fan boy that he was held in
secret detestation by all the other small
Africans on the place. n he Home Maler.

Iohnstown win be Flooded.

The effects of the steady rain at Johns
town on March 20 began to be apparent in
the river again at an early hour. Between
5 and 6 o'clock it rose three feet. No
particular damage has been done as yet,
but every minute is fraught with danger
and there is much alarm.
A Johnstown, Pa, special says: The
city will b. flooded before morning. The
citizens are now moving from their houses.

Testimony to Louisiian's Progress.

A travelling agent recently returned to
New York from trip through the South,
and said to San reporter 1.-THE next
spot in this blessed country of ours that's
going to enjoy real estate boom is Lou
isiana. | have never seen anywhere such
rapid development and increase of values,
excepting, of course, seasons of crazy ex-
element. I've. been down there quite
often during the past four or five years,
and as the people are still rushing in and
the land soaring upward in value, it looks
to me good deal like the beginning of
boom. "-TE.

The future glory of our country to
great extent depends upon putting good
men in Office, who will be above money in
fuence and will take stand for the right
and against wrong, and will not swerve
from the performance of the duties to
which they have been called. Oh, for
more such men In office.

A special from Washington, D. G., says:
The situation regarding the Mississippi is
not so favorable as was hoped it would be.
There have been heavy rains in the upper
Cumberland, Tennessee and Ohio rivers.
and the rise in those streams, while not
sufficient unless further rains follow, is
still regarded with anxiety. The reports
from the signal Office show very heavy
rainfalls in the upper Ohio, Tennessee and
Cumberland valleys, and those already
high rivers rising quite materially. A
rise of two inches in the Ohio means a
good deal to the Mississippi when tits full
to the brim and OVERLOOKING The War
Department is watching the situation care
fully, and if further allotments are needed
they will be forthcoming.

Our gulf coast abounds in fish at all
seasons of the year. At Cheniere CANA
NADIA there is colony of fishermen and
hunters, about fifty miles south of New
Orleans, where they can live the whole
year on fish and vegetables and game,
with little bread occasionally. This col
ony contains about 1900 or 1900 inhabit-
ants. There are probably 10, 900 or II, 900
such people on the islands of Southern
Louisiana on the coast between Texas and
Mississippi -DGnieE bennett.

Some years since, there was great
drought in western Texas that was pretty
severe on the farmers, but that is near the
dry line, 1907 West longitude, where
droughts are common and severe. This
droughty country extends West across the
Rio Grande to the Pacific ocean. The por-
lions of Texas east of the Old Caney and
the Brazos have never suffered from such
droughts as they have from the Guada-
lupe and san Antonio, West. West of the
1907 in Texas is not farming country. 1t

The Northwestern Elections.

The news contained in yesterdays Dis
patch concerning the elections of Monday
last in the States of Michigan, Illinois, In
diana. and Ohio. is encouraging indeed.
As to Ohio we had feared that. perhaps,
the Republicans had made some capital
out of the recent proceedings of the Demo-
cratic Legislature. But not so. If we
may trust the indications furnished 10y the
elections of this week. we may claim that
the Democrats of Ohio are true TO the
teachings of the fathers of the republic;
for it was in Ohio that the Legislature very
recently redistricted the State for the
election of congressman and even had a
notion to district it for the election of
presidential electors.
As TO Michigan, Illinois. and Indiana,
they are like Iowa and Wisconsin--ap-
parently ready 10 split up the Republican
party into fragments If necessary.
