There is farm in the southwest of the State of Louisiana measuring one hundred miles north and south and twenty-five miles east and west The one and half million acres of which it IS made up were purchased seven years ago from the State of Louisiana and from the United States Government by syndicate of Northern capitalists, by which it IS now farmed. Al that time Il was q vast grazing ground for the cattle of the few dealers in the neigh borhood, there being thirty thousand head of cattle and horses upon it. This immense tract is now divided into con yenient pasture stations, or ranches, the fencing alone having cost fifty thousand dollars, The land Is best adapted for rice, sugar, corn and cotton, All tho eGliigating, ditehing, etc are done by steam power, tract of abolt half milo wide being taken and an engine placed on each side. Tine engines are portable and work cable attached 10 four blows, the area piowed in this way, with the labor of only three men, being thirty acres. Narrowing, sowing, etc are done in the same way, and there is not single draft horse on the estate.

The captains and chiefs advised all to be industrious, avoid strife and contentious, abstain from using liquor, educate their children and to try and become self sustaining. The feast, which was in remembrance of the dead, was considered by the leaders among the Indians, to be an important one, on account of the feeling advanced in favor of adopting so far as they can, the habits and customs of the whites Yuma Sentinel.

: Washington, D. C., dispatch says; It is quite evident to the Tost Office Department officials that the Louisiana lottery, while crippled, is by no means dlad It now does basiness through the express companies. They express their circulars aal tickets and receive remittlhecs by express I've cf the leading express companies soon after the passage of the law issned an order to their employees not to receive any lottery matter for expressage But it is said that these instructions are not enforced The opinion is now enter. tained that in order to carry the con test 10 Q successful conclusion their business must he excluded from the express companies. As long as the lotteries have the express companies as an aid to their business, some proyis- iops at least of the recent law are made of no effect For example, one of the New Orleans daily newspapers pub fishes two editions tbe difference con sisting in the omission or insertion of fine advertisement of the lottery com pany, The lottery edition is sent out by express, the other by mail. It is proposed to make an effort to find a legal way to stop this business, and it is probable that before long the courts will be called upon to decide the ques- ton as to the constitutional right of the Government to prevent the express companies from carrying lottery matter.
