land bv owners is $48.irt per acre. Tins
includes the buildings. The average an
nual cost of water is $1.55 per acre, and

Congress, Aneust 15,- I87K, and which
expired in 1H70, no cable having been

ator Leland Stanford, J. C. Flood and
several other California millionaires
They were promised a subsidy of $1,000,
0d0 'bv the Hawaiian government as
soon as the cable was laid. Ihe capital
j8t8 did not see a sufficient and speedy
j return for their money, the scheme fell
j through and the charter I ipsed. Marino
now represents to Congress that, ihe
i company is ready to go ahead without
a. subsidy if the charter is revived.
, Opposition to the subsidy idea is very
strong, and to defe;rt it ah extension of
'the old company's charter will be urged,

A MATHEMATICAL PRODIGY.
The ftemarknhla Talent nf flalf TFltted
Nrgro Countryman.
Iieul.pn Field, the mathematical pro
digy ot Lexington, who has attracted so
much attention, was born ot Warrens
burtj, John'on county, aliout thirty years
ogo. and ioshcbscs only slightly better
intellectual faculties than "Blind Tom."
"RuebV gift is made tho more proml
ner.t by the barrenness of his mind in
otl i r features. He has no intelligence
asi !o from his remarkable manipulation
of figures. (7ivc lU-uU'ii Field a problem,
no matter w hether it be In decimal, com
pound or vulvar fraction, it makes no
difference whether it w Letter suited to
the rules of short than long division; it
is immaterial whether there are ten fig
ures or 700 in it; whether multiplication
or subtraction; and be will, without the
aid of paper or pencil, give you the
answer Wore the echo of your voice
in propounding the question have fully
died away. He cannot read; he cannot
write. lie does not know one ligure
from another, and yet mentally, by the
gift which he possesses, he can solve any
problem submitted to him. As "Blind
Tom's" talent of repeating pieces of music
played in his presence for the lirst time by
many of the most brilliant lierforniers in
the country has been tested, and always
with the result of making more wonder
ful his great gift, so have learned math
ematicians tried to trap Field, but with
out success. To give him it problem
which one himself could not solve
would not determine whether he was
right or wrong, and lest errors might be
made the most difficult "examples" in
the higher arithmetics, as well as others,
originating witb their questioner and
simple enough except for their long
array of figures, have been hurled at
him. and quick as a Hash would come
his answer, always correct.
Give him the diameter of the wheel of
a locomotive, and the distance between
any two points it makes no dhTerence
how great the time spent in traversing
this distance, and you have hardly
ceased ejicuking before he gives you the
number of revolutions the wheel makes
in covering the distance. Give hira the
distance and the time and he will tell
you the diameter of the wheeL Tell him
the dimensions of a brick, and say to him
a wall is so many feet long, so many
high and so many thick, and he promptly
tells you how many bricks are in the
wall. Not in a reasonable length of
time, as though calculating it, but in
stantly, and while skilled accountants
who liave witnessed his feats have ques
tioned the correctness of his answers,
they have found they were in error and
Reub was right whenever they did 60.
Tell him to multiply 9.898.74(5,322.150 by
13, add 89,572 and divide by 60, and in
less time than the reader can calculate it
Reub will have the answer ready. These
ligures are only used as an illustration,
but they are simplicity in its purest
form compared to some submitted to
him. He has gray eyes, and, when not
engaged in exhibiting his strange gift,
they are entirely tree of expression, as
though they were of dead glass; but have
l.im in the excitement of figures and a
strange glitter something little short of
an expression of madness lights them
up. The strangest of this half witted
fellow's accomplishments is that, awak
ened at any hour, he will tell you the
time to a second. He does not make a
business of exhibiting his power, and it
is not always that those who are most
kind to him, and whom he knows best,
can persuade him to "show oil." Lie
6ays his power came from God, and, if
he accepted otfers which had been made
to him to travel with showmen, or to
take employment in large business
houses. God would take his gift away.

"A Hero of Antietam."
At the terribly hard-fought battle of
Sharpsburg (Antietam) Paul Conrad was
desperately wounded, receiving a canis
ter shot in the left shoulder, which
scraped every rib in his body. The ball
entered just above the point of the
shoulder blade, and passed perpendicu
larly down the back to the waist, woere
it was found and cutout by the surgeons,
but not until uahteen hours had passed
after th wound was received. Though
the ball weighed not more than ten
ounces, Mr. Conrad said that after sev
eral hours had passed he felt as if he had
a ten-pound ball, a cannon and carriage
in his back, so geat was the shock to his
eystein. Upon his recovery from his
wound he rejoined his hattalion, and
served gallantly to the end of the war,
participating in all the great battles with
the Army of Northern Virginia.
Born in New Orleans in the year 1840,
he entered the Confederate army soon
after attaining to manhood, and his rec
ord as a soldier was as enviable and gal
lant as that of any of Louisiana's Bons
who wore the gray. He served with dis
tinction to the end of the war. He was a
member of Captain Henry St. Paul
Chasseurs a Pied, a part of the Army of
Northern Virginia, and is one of but a
few of the survivors of that famous com
mand. The company left New Orleans
April 22, 1801, for fensac- hi. Thence
they went to Virginia, and other com
panies being attached, St. Paul's Ba tal
l. n was formed. Their first big t ght
waa t Seven Pines, where more than
half the command were killed or wound
ed among the former being young
Bourges, Conrad's first cou-in.
He is, and always has been, strictly
speaking, a man of the people. Of a
genial and pleasant disposition and pos
sessing rare business qualifications, he
is eminently fitted to fill the responsible
position to which be has been elected
He is an honest, upright and faithful
business man, whose word is as good as
his bond. 1 .
The Board of Directors of the Louisi
ana State Lottery Company have elected
Mr. Paul Conrad President, vice Dr. M.
A. Dauphin, deceased.
Mr. Conrad has practically managed
the affairs of this great corporation for
the past five or six years. He has been
an attache of the company in various
capacities since 1870, and has earned the
good will, confidence and respect of all
with whom he has come in contact..-
