Several years ago we mentioned that Mr. Win. Hill, the Alexandria cotton buyer, had invented a cotton compress. Since that time he has been working at odd times on the invention and to-day has a perfect machine that will revolutionize the cotton compress business of the south. It presses a square bale, and the prer can be sold at $3,5oo, put ting it within the reach of every ginner who turns out a thousand or more bales. It is estimated that a 2o horse power engine will operate the Hill press, giving the cotton compressed four pounds greater I density than the best cotton com press now in use in the South , which cost $4o,ooo or more. It will revolutionize the cotton business for the reason that instead of cotton being brought to the large citiesand towns to be compressed, it will be compressed in all parts of the coun try and shipped direct to the ports for export. The principle of the Hill compress is two powerful screws, on which both the upper and lower holders, between which the bale is placed, work one up and the other down on the screws at both sides. The screws are revolved by cogs. A model of this wonderful machine was on exibit Tuesday at thefiret National Bank, also a small bale of cotton pressed on the machine. Alexandria Town-Talk.

Fasl Fester a the Siblet.- , Mr. Editor.-We recently paid a visit to Bev. and Mrs. H. 8. Johns (the latter a sister of ye scribe) at Gueydan, La. It is needless to say we were highly entertained, for all who are acquainted with our host and hostess know that that goes without saying. This Gueydan section of Vermi lion parish is called Athe Holland of America. We were impressed Nature has adapted it to imigra tion. We were told that there were fields of rice there containing 16o acres with only one ordinary levee around the outside borders of the field-no cross levees at all. These vast expanses of beautiful prairie land, as they stretched out before us almost on a dead level, with large canals wending their serpentine courses hither and thither, presented a view pleasing to the eye. Here and there could be seen in the distance a deep well, Indicated by the smoke as it issued from the smoke-stack and drifted off lazily, borne upon the bosom of the breeze. We visited the L. & H. Canal Co.'s pumping plant, situated seven miles northwest of Gueydan, and were kindly shown through it by Mr. Vallet. who has been connected with the plant for several years. rhis is said to be the largest pump ing plantin the world. It operates ix pumps, four of 45ooo gallons, and two of 6oooo gallons capacity per minute, thus affording 3oo,ooo allons per minute. This water is supplied by the Bayou Quo de Tor tue and the Merinentau river. The water flows off the main ~anal, which is about eighty feet wide, from four to five feet deep tnd about twenty-five miles long.
