THE IVARKARA JLA PASS.

The Austrian regime is already noticeable
at e'kovic. What a comfort it is to ride
IN the clean, handsome military post
ehaises, which bring US to Mostar. Yet
what hard lot il is, this service of Austrian
soldiers in the Herzegovina and Bosnia.
These garrisOned in the large villages are
considered lucky by their less fortunate
Comrades, who are stationed at the small
military posts. cut off from all contact with
the rest Of the world and charged with the
most grinding service which the Austrian
crown could possibly require. Ii takes an
IRON sense of duty not to grow lame and
broken in spirit in such a monotonous
existence, and it is a virtue in itself to
preserve within ones self, and within the
breast OF ones subOrdinates. the necessary
cheerfulness to cope with the hardships of
such life. Hats off before the Austrian
Officers, who understood this art. The only
recreation is the chase, and the heart of any
lover of that noble sport will bound with Joy
when he beholds the superabundance of the
game, which reisns supreme in that wilder
ness. There Is the fox, the wolf and the
chamois, together with the small and large
animals, which make hunting lively and
interesting.

children of the same tribe, they differ vastly
nevertheless. The former is more pliable
and industrious; he enjoys the reward of
his labor. The latter growls in solitude,
and sees in his benefactor the imposer only
of new burdens, except, of course, in the
fertile valleys of the Narenta. With Bosnia
Austria has gained country which has
already justified the great sacrifices. The
occupation of this territory has cost the
crown and the people. but it will take
many decades of hard, cultivating labor be-
fore the seed will show signs of ripening
into any kind of crop in the Herzego wina.-

A Large Railroad Outfit.

Evening before last there came down on
the City of Monroe large railroad outfit,
which passed through the city going East.
1t contained some fourteen large four
horse wagons, a big number Of scrapers,
the usual camping utensils, provisions,
forage, ETC., and there were quite a num-
Der of laborers' with it. The party came
from Arkansas, and some were going out
to work on the L., N. 0. g. L. road and
the others were going on through to the
Illinois Central. 1t was reported that the
latter were to 60 to work on the Meridian,
Brookhaven & Natchez Railroad, to COM
mence operation at Brookhaven and con-
struct the proposed line of that road in an
Easterly direction toward Meridian. Our
readers will remember that some days
since we chronicled the fact that the NJ.
b. & N. road, had been re-organized and
that work of construction would soon be
inangurated. We are sorry that this xutft
was not to begin at Natchez and work
East, as this proposed road is Il most i'm
portant one, and world contribute not a
little to the prosperity and advancement
of our city if it were built.-Natches
Democrat, March 49,.
The workmen and teams spoken of by
the Democrat were on their way to the
new railroad being built south and south
east of Bogue Chitto by Messrs. Nor
wood & Buttertield for the accommoda-
ton of their Immense lumber business,
and which, when completed, will extend
from the /. c. Railroad near johnson Sta
ton, to Pearl river. Work has also been
commenced here on the Meridian, Brook
haven & Natchez Railroad, but is not yet
fully under way.

A Lawyers Story.

A lot of lawyers were recently sitting
together telling stories about their vari
Gus experiences at the bar, when the fol
lowing (possibly told by Bro okhaven
attorney capped the climax: 'It was
when l was attending court i'll an adjoin-
ing county," said he. "a farmer had one
of his neighbors arrested for stealing
ducks, and was employed by the accused
to endeavor to convince the court that
such was not the case. The plaintiff
was positive his neighbor was guilty of
the offense charged against him, because
he had seen the ducks in defendants yard.
How do you know they are yonr ducksT
| asked. %, 1 should know my own
ducks anywhere replied the farmer, and
he went into detailed description Of their
different pecuiarities whereby he could
readily distinguish them from Others
Why said l, those ducks can't be such
rare breed have some just like them
in my own yard That's not at all I'M
likely replied the farmer, for they are
not the only ducks have had stolen late
ly.' Then called the next witness"

a Parable on Tobacco.

Then shall the kingdom of Satan be
like unto grain of tobacco seed, which
is among the least of all seeds, which /,
man took and sowed in the earth, which
came up and grew to be large plant.
And it had leaves, long aud wide, and
huge worms found habitation thereon.
And it came to pass that the son of man
looked upon it and thought it would do to
chew; oven boys thought they would
chew it to make them hook big and man
ly. Some of t1em it made sick. and 9TH
ers it made to vomit most filthy, and
they were all taken with violent spit
ting, and they spit and they spit, even in
ladies' parlors, and in tire church house,
and the saints thereof became disguised
thereat; but they all with one consent
began to say we can't quit it.
Others they dipped it and they were
taken with a violent sneezing and they
su eezed and they sneezed and their eyes
filled with tears and they looked very silly
and sickly; and they sent for the doctor
anu ne CdttlS anu tOIu tueIH III was ulpplHS
snuff and that they had better quit it or
it would kill them. But they said, I'd
rather die.
Others they cauningly WRAPPED the
leaves mp in rolls, and set one end a fire
and stuck the other in their mouths and
they began to draw, and they drew and
they drew, and they looked very grave,
and calf-like, and the smoke of their tor
meut assembled up for ever and ever.
Now put this evil thing from among
you and turn your fields into wheat and
corn and the Lord will bless you. But
they all with one consent began to say we
can't quit it. SO it became great traffic
in the land and q great many got rich
selling il, and even the poor Of tire land
would buy it; those that were not able te
| buy books for their children to learn in,
nor good clothes for them to wear and ye,
they all say, We are enslaved we can'l
quit it. WINTER NJ.
