Excursion was Enjoyed.

The excursion over the West Point
Route to Atlanta from Selma was one
of the most enjoyable that have ever
been run out of this city and those who
took the trip enthusiastically praise
the way the trains were operated.
What was. perhaps, the pleasantest
feature of the performance was the
speed and promptness with which the
schedules were carried out. Ehe
train left Selma on time and put the
excursionists in Atlanta at 4:30 p. m.
as had been arranged. The return
trip was made with the same accuracy
and even greater speed. the eleven
coaches composing the train being
whisked along by fine passenger To-
connective.
There was no trouble or disorder on
the journey. officials of the road made
1t a personally conducted affair and
saw to 1t that the patrons of the road
enjoyed comfort and were annoyed by
no disturbance. Altogether 1t was a
delightful trip and has done much to
remove the stigma that has so long
rested upon the excursion.

Aye, and there comes the strange part of it, and this is what would lay before your lordships, as bearing up- on the value of the shares of this new bank, since it is taking over the char ter of the Company of the West. It is news not yet known upon the street. The story goes that the half has not been told of the wealth of these prov inces.
 t'Now, as you say, L'Huillier had with him four ships, and 1t is well known that his gentlemen had with them certain ladies of distinction, among these a mysterious dame re- ported to have earlier travelled in DOT tions of New France. The name of this mysterious female is not known, save that she is reported to have been a good friend of a sous-lieutenant of the regiment Carignan, sometime dweller at Quebec and Montreal, and who later became a lieutenant under L'Huillier. It is said that this same mysterious fair, having returned from America and having cast aside her lieutenant, has come under protection of no less a person than his grace Philippe of Orleans, the regent. Now, as you know, the bank is the best friend of the regent, and this mys- terious dame, as we are advised by servants of his graces household, hath told his grace such stories of the wealth of the Messasebe that he has secretly and quickly made over the control of the trade of those provinces to this new bank. There is story also that his grace himself will not lack profit in this movement" r
 The hand of Cont smote hard upon the table. By heaven! it were strange thing" said he, eff this foreign trav- eler should prove the same mysterious beauty Philippe is reported to have kept in hiding My faith, is it indeed true that we are come upon time of miracles?"
 "Listen!' broke in Varenne, his ar. dor overcoming his obsequiousness. These are some of the tales brought back-and reported privately, can as- sure you, gentlemen, now for the first | time and to yourselves. The people of this country are said to be clad in beauteous raiment, made of skins, of grasses, and of the barks of trees Their ornaments are made of pure, yell low gold, and of precious gems which they pick up from the banks of the streams, as common as pebbles here in France. The climate is such that all things grow in the most unrivaled fruftfnfkess. There is neither too much sun aor too much rain. The lakes and rivers are vast and beautiful, and the forests are filled with myriads of strange and sweet-voiced birds. 'Tis said that the dream of Ponce de Leon hath been realized, and that not only one, but a score of fountains of youth have been discovered in this great val ley. The people are said never to grow old. Their personal beauty is of sur-

" ancestry nor civic distinction Henri VaTenne, sometime clerk for the noted Paris Freres, farmers of the national revenues. Varenne, now serv- ing but as clerk in the new bank of Las ct Compagnie, could have been called man of not great standing; yet it was he whose presence had called htther these others to this unusual meeting. In point of fact, Varenne was a spy chosen by the jealous Paris Freres, to learn what he might of the internal mechanism of this new and startling institution which had sprung into such sudden prominence.
 "As to the bank of these broth CTS L'as," said the Prince de Cont, rap- ping out emphasis with his sword hilt on the table, ''it surely has much to commend 1t. Here is one of it's notes, and witness what it says. The bank promises to pay to the bearer at sight the sum of fifty livres in coin of the weight and standard of this day. That is to say, of this date which it bears Following these, are the words value received. Now, my notary tells me that these words make this absolutely safe, so that know what it means in coin to me at this day, or year from now. Is it not so, Monsieur Fraslin?"
 The Jew reached out his hand, took the note, and peered over it in close scrutiny. ..t.
 Iris no wonder, Monsieur le Prince" said he, presently, "that orders have been given by the government to re- ceive this note without discount for the payment of the general taxes. Upon my reputation, must say to you that these notes will pass current bet ter than your uncertain coin. The specie of the king has been changed twice in value by the kings orders. Yet this bases itself upon a specie value which is not subject to any change. Therein lies dts own value" |"
 "It is indeed true," broke in Var enne. .'Not day goes by at this new bank but persons come to us and de- mand our notes srather than coin of the realm of France"
 "Yes, yes." broke in the prince, i've are agreed as to all this, but there is much talk about further plans of this Monsieur Las. He has the ear of his grace the regent, surely. Now, sir, tell us what you know of these future affairs.''
 '"The rumor is, as I understand it." answered Varenne, that he is to take over control of the Company of the West-to succeed, in short, to the shoes of Anthony Crozat. There come cu- rious stories of this province of Louisi- ana"
 "Of course" resumed the prince, with easy wisdom, i've all of us know of the voyage of L'Huillier, who, with his four ships, went up this great river Messasebe, and who. as is well known. found that river of Blue Earth, de- scribed by early writers as abounding in gold and gems
