were 6,2S0,05s persons Of ten years of
age and upward who could not write,
and the census Of 1890 shows that In all
there are 0,32l,7Os illitcratcs in the
United States. This is IN actual in
crease, but, according to the Boston
Herald, the increase Is chiefly due to
the influx Of French-Canadians and
others into the northern states. The
chief illiteracy has been in the south,
and It is found by studying the stats.
ties that in thirteen Of these states and
territories the illiteracy Is nearly 2s5,-
900 less than in 1880. The great major
ity Of the illitcratcs are negroes. In
Alabama. Florida, Georgia and Lou
isiana there arc more than three col
ored illiteratcs to ono white; in Missis.
sippi It Is nearly seven to one; In South
Carolina II Is more than i've TO one; but
the decrease In llliteracy Is not con-
fined to the colored race In tho
southern states. Among the whites
it is III, oiO and among the negroes 49,
400 The increase in the north and
west-in Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont, and In Michigan, Montana,
Nevada, New Jersey and Wisconsin-is
chiefly due to immigration. There Is
gradual decrease in illiteracy all over
the country, and wherever It has in
creased It % due to causes which we
are not responsible for as nation.

thetic emotions. The parts of Miss An
gle and Peter Bullock, city spo0nipg low

Town Talk Off its Base.
Editor COlfdx Chronicle:

Town Talk Off its Base.
Editor Colfas Chrosiols:
Speaking of the new q. 8. court
house in course of erection at
Alexandria, the Town Talk says.
"When this building is ready for occu-
pancy the people OF Alexandria should
endeavor to have the u. 8. Land Office
removed from Natchitoches to Alexan-
dria, the center of the State, and greatly
preferable because Of access, on account
Of the railroads coming here"
Shades of Louis Duplex! Don't
the Town Talk know that Alexan-
dria is in the New Orleans Land
District, and that to put the Match
itoches Land Office there would be
to remove it entirely from the ter
titory over which it has jurisdic-
ton? The Natchitoches Land
District comprises that portion of
the State Of Louisiana lying north
of the basis meridian, and west of
the third range line, or about one
fourth of the area of the State.
The east line of the Natchitoches
district passes about a mile west Of
Colfax, and FIVE miles west of Rus
ton, while the south line passes
through Vernon parish. The Town
Talk will want the National CAPT.
tai at Alexandria soon.
Yours truly, BASE LINE.

The only good thing that was offered
