Old Maps of Louisiana.
An Interesting exhibit In the Lou

old maps that show the state of Lou
isiana extending from Canada, which
was then called New France, on tha
north to the gulf of Mexico on the
south ami from Virginia and Carolina
on the east to the Pacific on the west.
These maps were printed in Italy and
Holland and France and were evident
ly largely works of fancy and Imagina
tion on the part of the geographers, as
they depict mountain ranges where
none exists and lakes and rivers dis
tributed around in places where they
are not round today. One or tlie most
charming or these maps represents the
Mississippi river as making a graceful
turn along what Is now the roadbed of
the Louisville and Nashville railroad

whore the returned statesman got
means to build the house. sn ne day
a commit Ice waited on the man who
built the bouse, and the spokesman
said:
Mini, it may lie none of our business

it to us who sent you to the legislature
to explain where you got the monev
