Ey a. ~. EACY.

Whi'c President Jefferson was
rsgotiatinG with France for the
purchase CT Louisiana Territory
he transmitted to congress one
very remarkable document. II
was an abstract he had prepared
OF certain papers relating to the
territory, and pictured the coun-
try in the most glowing colors.
II told Of a tribe Of Indians of
gigantic stature; of bluffs 500
feet high, faced with stone and
carved by nature into what ap-
peared like a multitude of an
tique towers; of a vast prairie
country whose soil was too rich
for the growth Of trees. But
most marvellous Of al! was an
immense mountain Of pure salt.
This was caid to be located
about 1000 miles north of New
Orleans and near the Mississip-
pi river, and to be 1870 miles
long and As miles wide, with no
trees or shrubs on il. All gilt
tering white Il stood, and from
its base issued great streams Of
pure salt water, Jefferson had
been nisied by the fairy tales
of travellers. His political op-
ponents had no end of fun with
him in after years about his

mtted. That the commissioners will look
