Pharaoh's Subtreasury.

Proctor Knott. the Kentucky Demo-
cratic statesman and humorist, says
that the first case Of Subtreasury on
record is where Joseph interpreted Pha-
raoh's dream and told him that there
would be seven good crop years, fol-
lowed by soge. bad ones, and advised
him to "build barns AND buy corn"
Knott says that Pharaoh issued paper
certificates to buy corn and the farmers
had lots OF money, for while, but when
the seven years of famine came Pha-
raoh bad all the corn, and the money
was no good and Pharaoh owned them,
body, soul and such breeches as Egypt
ians wear, and they were in bondage

the most economical coal burner of
any of the Atlantic high Hyers.n She
burns 220 tons of coal day, shows 49,
500 horse pawer, and makes an average
of over 90 knots, or 90 miles, per hour
throughout the Atlantic passage.
There are only two other ships that
have reached this speed, namely, the

Vile Plate.

September 20, 1871.
Since my las1, quite change has taken place
in our little town. Business has opened up,
cotton and rice are coming in and everything
looks lively: in fact our town has etty-tike ap-
Oearauee And considerable improvements are
going on. Mr. On Dardeau is having a large
warehouse built; Mr.. j.. Demorueilc had his
house remodcled, adding much to its appear,
s,nce: Mr.. L. Corei is having bricks ana sand
hauled, which indicates building of some kind !;
and new street has been opened hetWeen lots
OF Mr.. r. Coreil and 0. Dardeau. Wolk on our
Two story public school house will begin this
week. which will be completed In few months
as all the material is Oh hand. Let the good
work go on.
Next in order is telephone line from Wash
ington to this place, which would be great
benefit to the merchants and to the public in
general.
Why DOM, Mr. J. Il. Watkins. tliut- cnterpris.
ing President of the Kansas City. Watkins and
Gulf rail road build us a branch line from some
point in prairie SOileau through MamOllth to
Vile Plate2 This would undoubtedly bring a
sine income. With the facility of shipment Civ
en- to the farmers here, they could be induced
to put one half of their cotton land into cane
and to ship same to the } AXE Charles refinery,
thus creating paying business Tor tie rail
road as well as for the refinery, besides the
thousands Of sacks OF rice and bales Of cotton
which arc shipped annually from this place,
and the large quantity OF goods imported.
And such branch would induce the people
Of fate Cove, Chataignier, Faquetaiquc and
Bayon Chicot to haul their produce here for
shipment, and different enterprises would soon
spring up, sucn as rice mn, COTTON seed OH
mill factories of different kinds, broom factory,
sx, hoe, and spade handles, spokes, hubs, wag-
ons, etc, which hsnst prove to be success as
we have an unlimited quantity of raw mate
rails.
This route from prairie SoiIeaI would pass
over an almost level country requiring nc grad
ing, no expensive bridges and no doubt that
the right OF way would he given all along the
route, and lot would he given here for the
building of IL station, turn table, etc.

LONG BEACH.

1t is refreshing the way the Terminal
people are pushing their work ahead.
The avenue on the beach front is being
rapidly graded and will be finished in
short order; they also have large force
of men at work just outside the city e
limit making the biggest cut that will
be necessary on their road. This route
will be as nearly straight between Los
Angeles and here as it possibly can be,
and when finished we will be the near
est seaside resort-a big item, by the
way.
1t has been lately rumored in
Santa Ana that the Southern Pacific
were going to build from there to Long
Beach now if our good friends and
neighbors of Santa Ana would substitute
the Terminal for the Southern Pacific
they would about hit it. General Man
ager Burnett told me the last time he
was down here that they would build
from here to Santa Ana as soon as prac-
ticable after the Los Angeles and Long
Beach line was finished.
The w. @. I. U. OF this place held
meeting at the Presbyterian church,
Wednesday last, at which some import
ant business was transacted. Mrs.

Mrs. Rhoda Faulkner of Santa Paula
read some interesting papers apropos to

The Tabernacle is being repainted and
otherwise put in order for the approach

Mr.. Yarnell will now whoop it up for

Mr.. E. G. DEMO has been busy this
week putting his mothers handsome
house and grounds in order preparatory
to spending the summer here.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. B. Cushmsn came

From the number of inquiries thus
far for houses it is apparent that there
is not near enough houses here to sup
ply the demand. MEMO.
