South Western Louisiana.

Professor Hilgard, in his Preliminary
Report of a Geological Survey of West
ern Louisiana, remarks.
Few sections of the United States,
indeed, can offer such inducements to
settlers as the prairie region between
the Mississippi Bottoms, the Nez Pique
and Mermentau. Healthier by far
than the prairies of the Northwest, fan
ned by the sea breeze, well watered-
the scarcity of wood rendered of less
moment by the blandness of the eli
mate, and the extraordinary rapidity
with which natural hedges can be
grown for fences, while the exuberant-
ly fertile soil produces both sugar cane
and cotton in profusion, continuing to
do so in many cases after seventy
years. exhaustive cultivation - we'll
may the T6che country be styled by
its enthusiastic inhabitants, the Gear
den of louisiana"
One of the largest and most intelli-
gent farmers in Central Illinois, after a
careful examination of the T6che and
Attakapas country, said:
II have heretofore thought that Cen
trail Illinois was the finest farming
country in the world. | own a. large
farm there, with improvements equal
to n in the country. | cultivate
about two thousand acres in small

things there which cannot be raised in

ed in Louisiana, infinitely richer and
yielding far more, and with the fairest
climate on earth, and no trouble to get
to market. | shall return to Illinois,
sell out, and persuade my neighbors to
do the same, and return to Louisiana
to spend the remainder of my days."
The editor of the Chicago Tribune,
the leading Radical paper of the West,
after visiting the T6che country, said
to his $4,000 subscribers:
off, by some supreme effort of ma
ture, Western Louisiana, with its soil,
climate and production could be taken
up and transported North, to the lati-
tude of Illinois and Indiana, and be
there set down in the pathway of East
ern travel, it wonld create a commo-
ton that would throw the discovery OF
gold in California in the shade at the
time of the greatest excitement. The
people would rush to it in countless
thousands. Every nan would be in
tent on securing a few acres of these
wonderfully productive and profitable
sugar planes. These T6che lands, if in
Illinois, would bring from three to five
hundred dollars e acre." "a,

q New Election Law.

The State of Louisiana needs a new
election law, and needs it badly. At
the last session of the general assembly
q concurrent resolution was passed
which, provides that a committee of
seven be appointed to prepare and
submit at the next session of the legis-
lature any amendments to the %constitu-
ton of the State, which, in the judge
ment of the committee, may be neces-
sary and proper. The national and
State elections being now over
the people have settled down and have
beoup to think over this serious ques-
ton. Things are not as they We're.
Elections cannot be carried or in the
future as they have been in the past.
We have seen a few months since, that
our present bad election law came very
near precipitating a civil war on us and
| the demand is now general that the
law be remodelled. The negro should
be eliminated from politics. Our sister

1t is said that the French Foreign
Legion, which has been doing such des
perate fighting in Dahomey of late, is
composed almost entirely of social out
casts from every country. in Europe.
Men who have held prominent posi-
lions in the German, Italian and other
armies, but have been cashiered for
various offenses, may be found serving
in the ranks of the legion. It is not at
all particular where its recruits come
from, but its discipline is of the sever

fighters. The legion is always put to
the front when there is dangerous SER

proved themselves desperate fighters

The proper way to seenre good
country roads is for each county to
do what can be done to that end, and
this will be the mean of stimulating
other counties in the same direction
but when all wait for some o else to
move, nothing is done. 10 regard to
well made gravel roads, it is said that
in one county in New Jersey, where
only forty miles of such roads have
been built, the value of land has in
creased enough to pay the whole
expense without increasing the rate OF
taxation. In Ohio where the system
has been adopted, the farms adJoln.
ing have increasef9 $40 per acre in
value. Indiana, where macadam roads
have been built, there is a largely in
creased demand for buggies and wa
CONS. In short, On every locality
where these roads have been bull
