Eg For TraNnscriet—Two years age when the Woodpecker Whist Club was organized the members had no idea of starting a something that would develope into a craze. There was then not the remotest thought that our good ladies and gentlemen would-concentrate all their energies, brains and time to the mastery ofthe game of whist. Could the founder-of this club have foreseen what would come to pass in our community, they would doubtless have said, ‘‘We hetter not start the thiug.”’ Our members feel they have a great deal to answer for. They meet men on the street who look worn and weary, and on asking them the cause of this distress they are informed that ‘‘I have been out every night fora week playing whist, and I am used up.” Our members report that their lady acquaintances go along the streets mumbling, ‘‘Second hand low, third hand high.” We are button-holed at evéry turn by ladies and gentlemen and questioned about every card in the pack. _ The following are fair samples: “Do you lead from an ace?’ ‘‘When you have only five or six little trumps is it best to lead them?” ‘*When you have notrumps how can you let your partner know it?” ‘‘When you have king, queen, knave and two small cards of a plain suit you always lead a small o1e to find where the ace is, don’t you?” When men ask us we refer thei to the works of Pole or Cavendish, but when the fair ones ply us with knotty questions we have to be polite and give what.information we can, It’s wearisome all the same, and we think of giving up whist and devoting our spare moments to the very interesting game of Penuckle. Our principal reason for this change is that we do not longer wish to be held responsible for this mania that keeps people up all hours of the night and all nights in the week; that. causes wives to leave their household duties unfinished and runover to the neighbors’ to ‘‘practice a little ;’’ that makes men neglect their business and rush off to the most convenient place to have a rubber; that is knocking all other forms of education into a cocked hat by storing the mind full of hearts. spades, clubs and diamonda, and stuffing the memory with nothing but 52 pieces of pasteboard. Yes, Mr. Editor, we feel guilty of having started this whole business. What it will lead to or how terminate none can tell. We do not know if these various clubs look upon ‘ours as the parent club. We do know that none of them have voted us thanks or recognized us in any way other than imitation. We are still several steps ahead of these thousand and one whist clubs in that we lave a fine library, a large collection of pictures by our best artists, articles of virtu, and bric-a-bric that is equal to any on the coast. If we decide to disband we will atone for causing our friends and acquaintances to go daf: in cards, by distributing these good things among the various clubs. I; old Hoyle could wake up and see the card excitement which now prevails in our city he would shake hands with the Woodpecker Whist Club and pull the bell like a little man. By order of the club. Tue Secretary. A WHOLESALE HAUL. Twenty Chimese Gravel Miners Arrested at Omega Marysvixzz Cal., April 19.—Yesterday afternoon a special train containing District Attorney Forbes and sevehteen armed men, among whom were several of the Board of Supervisors, left here for Emigrant Gap. They arrived there after dark and then proceeded to the Omega hydraulic mine, where they captured twenty Chinamen engaged in operating the mine, contrary to the injunctions of the Courts, The Omega was one of the principal mines enjoined by Sawyer in the Woodruff debris suit. It is owned by a white man named Tully, whose son issuperintendent. When the prisoners arrived today they were marched quietly to jail. They was no bloodshed or fighting in making the arrests, but the arresting party were fully prepared for any possible treuble, It was composed of carefully picked men. This movement is regarded with great satisfaction here, and is evidence of the intention to spare no effort. or expense in suppressing violations of the antidebris injunctions. The Chinese are now about the only parties who give trouble. Emigrant Gap, Cal., April 19.— Twenty-five Chinamen were arrested this morning at the Omega Hydraulic Mining Company's mines. Seventeen arresting officers came on a special train from Marysville, with two teams on board, The officers arrived last pight at about 11 o’clock and returned about 11 this morning with the prisoners, some of whom appeared to have beeu roughly handled.

Easter Sunday—or, as it was formerly called, the “Sunday of Joy”*like many other ceremonies which have come down to us from earlier times, has been changed from its original, and to some extent pagan character, to a religious observance, until now, more especially limited to the-Romish and Episcopal churches, it is the festival of the resurrection of Christ. In olden times there was-a feast of the Teutonic goddess Ostera—in_the Anglo-Saxon “Easter,” from whence faturally.comes our Easter—the goddess of Spring, and the Anglo-Saxon name for April was Eastér month. The pagan worship of Ostera was strongly rooted in Northern Germany, and was Lrought into England by the Saxons, and the early missionaries, finding it impossible to abolish it, endeavored, as with other ceremonies, 80 far as was possible, to change it to a Christian festival, and to give to the rites a religious significance. This was easily done in this instance, for joy. at the rising of the sun, at the bursting of Spring from tne bonda of Winter, the resurrection of the. natural world, could quite easily be changed to joy at the rieing of the sun of righteousness, at the resurrection of Christ, his triumph over deuth and the grave. Easter has often been called the Christian Passover, because the Jewish Passover was celebrated, according to Mosaic law, on the 14th day of the month of Abi—that is, within a day or two before or after the vernal equinox. Although the church has always been united as to why Easter should be celebrated, there has been a wide difference .of opinion as to when it should be observed. The controversy grew out of a diversity of custom—the Judaizing Christians keep their paschal feast on the same day the Jews keep the Passover—the 14th of Nisan, the Hebrew month corresponding to our March or April—while the churches of the West, in remembrance that Christ arose on Sunday, had their festival on the Sunday following the day observed by the Eastern church. This discussion was kept up until the time of Constantine, who, in A. D. 325, brought the subject before the Ecumenical Council at Nice, from which time to this Easter Sunday las been everywhere on one and the same day —the first Sunday after the full moon which happens on or next after the 21st of March; and if the full moon comes on a Sunday, Easter day is the Sunday after. This decision was in favor of the Western usage, that body hoiding that the Sunday after the 14th of April was proper for the commemoration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. . The introduction of the Gregorial calendar made some changes necessary, and the ecclesiastical authorities at last decided to regulate the . time of Easter by the moon—not however the actual moon, nor what is called -by. astronomers the ‘mean moon,”’ but an imaginary moon, whose movemerfs are so arrangnd that it three days. Easter, which is now preceded by Lent, in early days was introduced by fasting on one day only—the Friday in Passion Week, known as Good Friday. By and by the time was extended to forty hours, in token that Christ had laid that long in the tomb, and from this it wus at last prolonged to forty days, the season of the temptation in the wilderness. ‘The primitive Christians on the morning of this day saluted each other with the words, “Christ is arisen,” to which the person addressed anéwered, “Christ is arisen, indeed, and hath appeared to Simon’’—a custom which is still retained in the Greek Church.—‘‘:Indeed,”’ said an eminent foreign writer, ‘all the ceremonies attending :the observance of Easter were at first exceedingly simple, but in the early part of the fourth century a decided change was bronght about. Constantine, naturally vain and proud of parade, signalized his love of display by celebrating this festival with extracrdinary pomp. Vigils, or night watches, were instituted for Easter eve, at which the people remained in the churches until midnight. The tapers, which it had before been customary tu burn at this time, did not satisfy his majesty, but huge pillars of wax were used instead, Not only:in the churches, but all over the city were they placed, that the beillianey of the night should far exceed the light of day. Easter Sunday was noticed with most elaborate ceremonials, the Popé officiating at mass, with every imposing accessory that could be devised.” During the interval between Easter and Pentacost, a period of fifty day», the Christians were not expected to pray kneeling, for this attitude was considered as a token of humility, but rather with outstretched arms, and faces looking to heaven, at this season when only songs of joy and gratitude were expected. Both Easter'and Pentacost Sunday were accounted fortunate days on which to baptize children, and the intervals lying between these days as lavorable for marriages. Various ceremonies, spirits and superstitions have in time past charac. terized the day, and still are many of the old Euster customs practiced in different parts of the world, That of follows the real moon-by-some-two-o; } making presents of colored eggs was . i™ The rank of a princess does not shield her from a salute on the cheek by the lowest boor who presents her an egg at Easter, in Russia; and the custom of distributing pace, or pache ege—the Pussion or Easter egg—is still observed by the peasantry in different parts of England; while the: young peopleof Scotland, where the festival has’ been suppressed for centuries, still throw about and play with hardboiled colored eggs, which they_finally eat. In the days when old and young alike received these eggs, the demand for them was such that they commanded oftentimes great prices. After they were boiled hard, and colored in red, violet, blue, green, etc., dyes, inscriptions.and various designs were traced on them, and thus ornamented were exchanged by those sentimentally ininclined, very much after the same fashion-as—are the-valentinesofthe present day. The'plainer ones were saved by the youth and: used on Easter Monday in playing ball, which, by the way, was_a favorite game. On Easter Monday even the clergy indulged in the delights of this game of ball, which men, women and children reveled in. In many instances it formed a'part of their service, bishops and deacons taking a ball to church, and at the commencement of the anthem, while dancing to the music, throwing it to ‘the choristers, who handed it back and forth to each other during the singing. After this service they all retired for refreshments, -which usually consisted of a dish ef bacon with tansy pudding— this last symbolical of the bitter herbs they were commanded to take at the Paschal feast. Though these old customs are often modified and greatly changed, they all bear resemblance to those from which they sprung. In certain parts of England the absurd and senseless practice of ‘‘lifting’’ or ‘heaving’ is in vogue. This is performed by strong men or women joining hands across each other’s wrists, forming a sort of seat, in which the person to be lifted sits, when he is thrown up into the air two or three times, being often, during this process, carried several yards along the street. On Euster Mondays the men ‘“‘lifv’’? the women, and on Tuesdays the women return the compliment. Very ludicrous incidents have been related of travelers who, ignorant of the prevalence of this custom, have been astonished to find themselves in the strong arms of these people, and ‘‘heaved” in spite of their execrations and efforts at release. In olden times the churches of Enrope at this season presented much the appearance of theaters, and crowds of peopled jostled each other tosee the sepulchers erected representing the whole scene of the Savior’s entombment. In those days the belief prevailed that the Lord’s second coming: would be on Easter Eve,hence the sepulchers were anxiously watched through the night preceding Easter Sunday until 3 a.M., when two aged monks would enter and take out a beautiful image of the resurrection, which was held up before the worshiping audience during the chanting of the anthem, “Christus Resurgeus.” It was then carried to the high altar, where a procession was formed with lighted tapers, and old men_ bearing a canopy of velvet over the image, they preceeded around the exterior of the chureh, all singing, rejoicing and praying, until, coming again to the high altar, their precious burden was placed there, not to be removed until Ascension Day. Easter week is still the great season ut “Rome. For Easter Sunday the greatest preparations are made, and itis celebrated with elaborate ceremonials. The day is usheredin by the firing of cannon, and early in the morning curriages with their eager freight of men and women, begin to roll toward St. Peter’s Cathedral, which is richly decorated for the occasion, the altars freshly ornamented and the lights around the tomb of St. Peter all blazing. On this day the Pope officiates at muss with every imposing accessory that human invention can desire. From a hell in the palace of the Vutican he is carried into the church, borue on the shoulders of his officers, On his head he wears a round, gilded cap representing a triple crown, signifying spiritual and temporal power, a union of both, On all sides of him are carried large fans of ostrich feathers, in which are placed the eyelike parts of peacock feathers, to represent the vigilant eyesof the charch. When in the church he rests under a rich canopy of silk. Aiter mass,to the sound of music, he is borne back to a balcony over the central doorway, where, rising from his chair of state, he: pronounces a benediction, with indulgences and absolution, The crowd of people who witness this most imposing of all the ceremonies at Rome at, this season is immense. Below the balcony at which . }. the Pope appears to pronounce the benediction is the densest crowd, who watch with upturned faves the falling of the papers containing copies of the . : prayers that bave been uttered, which are thrown down by the Pope and his assistants, ce Te Dispel Colds.

HFT I: a] : > Taste And thus the years ; oven after peace was declared Adele remained on the old plantation, teaching the blacks, content with her work, ever gentle and comforting to all. Antony Robinnette never regained eufficient health during the war to re-enter the army. During his long convalescence he commenced the study of medicine, and in three years ly well off to do as he pleased, he considered long and “looked about’? much before settling down to practice of his profession. Often and oftei the thoughts of gentle Adele would crowd upon his mind, but the assurances oft repeated in letters. by his cousin Louis that she had not been heard from convinced him that he had passed out ,of her life, graduated an M. D. SufficientThere came 8 summer time when every tiding from the South brought news of yellow fever; in a week the epidemic was a horrible certainty; from the cities and towns it spread to the remote country; the medical, physical and financial resources of the South were unequal to repel the enemy; they called upon their former foes for aid, and noble was the response. Doctor Antony Robinnette, now a sober, thinking man, felt.it urged upon him; more strongly than impulse had ever before prompted him, that he should go to hel; save those whom once he went to slay, an with more true heroism than when with boyish pride he entered the army, he started for the field of pestilence and-death. Arriving at Memphis the officers of the Howards informed him that his services : — , TF BHE HAD DIED, would be most welcome at a plantation some thirty miles down the river. Ho took the next boat, reached his destination and walked under the hot August sun to the dilapidated old mansion that was now a great hospital, crowded with poor whites and blacks in every stage of the fever. His step upon the piazza brought fromthe door a great, gaunt creole; she knew him not with his mature face and beard. Before he could pronounce her name, “Celestine,” a frail, angel-faced woman steod inthe doorway; her lips parted, her glorious eyes all aglow in recognition; no change could hide that man from her. He stood face to face with Adele Viegron! Their meeting was very calm, commonplace, seemingly; life and death was in the balance and the physician entered upon his duties; the lover stood aside for a time, Together they toiled; it was.at odd moments in weary days and nights that they learned the truth and the treachery of Louis; there was none of the light joy of love in their new wooing, but it was all the more sacred and sincere for its solemnity. But at last Adele was seized; she had refused to spare herself, and the destroyer fastened his fangs upon her weak form. Robinnetté was almost exhausted with ONE NIGHT ONLY! Monday, April 224d, ’89.

Eg For TraNnscriet—Two years age when the Woodpecker Whist Club was organized the members had no idea of starting a something that would develope into a craze. There was then not the remotest thought that our good ladies and gentlemen would-concentrate all their energies, brains and time to the mastery ofthe game of whist. Could the founder-of this club have foreseen what would come to pass in our community, they would doubtless have said, ‘‘We hetter not start the thiug.”’ Our members feel they have a great deal to answer for. They meet men on the street who look worn and weary, and on asking them the cause of this distress they are informed that ‘‘I have been out every night fora week playing whist, and I am used up.” Our members report that their lady acquaintances go along the streets mumbling, ‘‘Second hand low, third hand high.” We are button-holed at evéry turn by ladies and gentlemen and questioned about every card in the pack. _ The following are fair samples: “Do you lead from an ace?’ ‘‘When you have only five or six little trumps is it best to lead them?” ‘*When you have notrumps how can you let your partner know it?” ‘‘When you have king, queen, knave and two small cards of a plain suit you always lead a small o1e to find where the ace is, don’t you?” When men ask us we refer thei to the works of Pole or Cavendish, but when the fair ones ply us with knotty questions we have to be polite and give what.information we can, It’s wearisome all the same, and we think of giving up whist and devoting our spare moments to the very interesting game of Penuckle. Our principal reason for this change is that we do not longer wish to be held responsible for this mania that keeps people up all hours of the night and all nights in the week; that. causes wives to leave their household duties unfinished and runover to the neighbors’ to ‘‘practice a little ;’’ that makes men neglect their business and rush off to the most convenient place to have a rubber; that is knocking all other forms of education into a cocked hat by storing the mind full of hearts. spades, clubs and diamonda, and stuffing the memory with nothing but 52 pieces of pasteboard. Yes, Mr. Editor, we feel guilty of having started this whole business. What it will lead to or how terminate none can tell. We do not know if these various clubs look upon ‘ours as the parent club. We do know that none of them have voted us thanks or recognized us in any way other than imitation. We are still several steps ahead of these thousand and one whist clubs in that we lave a fine library, a large collection of pictures by our best artists, articles of virtu, and bric-a-bric that is equal to any on the coast. If we decide to disband we will atone for causing our friends and acquaintances to go daf: in cards, by distributing these good things among the various clubs. I; old Hoyle could wake up and see the card excitement which now prevails in our city he would shake hands with the Woodpecker Whist Club and pull the bell like a little man. By order of the club.

Twenty Chimese Gravel Miners Arrested at Omega Marysvixzz Cal., April 19.—Yesterday afternoon a special train containing District Attorney Forbes and sevehteen armed men, among whom were several of the Board of Supervisors, left here for Emigrant Gap. They arrived there after dark and then proceeded to the Omega hydraulic mine, where they captured twenty Chinamen engaged in operating the mine, contrary to the injunctions of the Courts, The Omega was one of the principal mines enjoined by Sawyer in the Woodruff debris suit. It is owned by a white man named Tully, whose son issuperintendent. When the prisoners arrived today they were marched quietly to jail. They was no bloodshed or fighting in making the arrests, but the arresting party were fully prepared for any possible treuble, It was composed of carefully picked men. This movement is regarded with great satisfaction here, and is evidence of the intention to spare no effort. or expense in suppressing violations of the antidebris injunctions. The Chinese are now about the only parties who give trouble. Emigrant Gap, Cal., April 19.— Twenty-five Chinamen were arrested this morning at the Omega Hydraulic Mining Company's mines. Seventeen arresting officers came on a special train from Marysville, with two teams on board, The officers arrived last pight at about 11 o’clock and returned about 11 this morning with the prisoners, some of whom appeared to have beeu roughly handled.

Easter Sunday—or, as it was formerly called, the “Sunday of Joy”*like many other ceremonies which have come down to us from earlier times, has been changed from its original, and to some extent pagan character, to a religious observance, until now, more especially limited to the-Romish and Episcopal churches, it is the festival of the resurrection of Christ. In olden times there was-a feast of the Teutonic goddess Ostera—in_the Anglo-Saxon “Easter,” from whence faturally.comes our Easter—the goddess of Spring, and the Anglo-Saxon name for April was Eastér month. The pagan worship of Ostera was strongly rooted in Northern Germany, and was Lrought into England by the Saxons, and the early missionaries, finding it impossible to abolish it, endeavored, as with other ceremonies, 80 far as was possible, to change it to a Christian festival, and to give to the rites a religious significance. This was easily done in this instance, for joy. at the rising of the sun, at the bursting of Spring from tne bonda of Winter, the resurrection of the. natural world, could quite easily be changed to joy at the rieing of the sun of righteousness, at the resurrection of Christ, his triumph over deuth and the grave. Easter has often been called the Christian Passover, because the Jewish Passover was celebrated, according to Mosaic law, on the 14th day of the month of Abi—that is, within a day or two before or after the vernal equinox. Although the church has always been united as to why Easter should be celebrated, there has been a wide difference .of opinion as to when it should be observed. The controversy grew out of a diversity of custom—the Judaizing Christians keep their paschal feast on the same day the Jews keep the Passover—the 14th of Nisan, the Hebrew month corresponding to our March or April—while the churches of the West, in remembrance that Christ arose on Sunday, had their festival on the Sunday following the day observed by the Eastern church. This discussion was kept up until the time of Constantine, who, in A. D. 325, brought the subject before the Ecumenical Council at Nice, from which time to this Easter Sunday las been everywhere on one and the same day —the first Sunday after the full moon which happens on or next after the 21st of March; and if the full moon comes on a Sunday, Easter day is the Sunday after. This decision was in favor of the Western usage, that body hoiding that the Sunday after the 14th of April was proper for the commemoration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. . The introduction of the Gregorial calendar made some changes necessary, and the ecclesiastical authorities at last decided to regulate the . time of Easter by the moon—not however the actual moon, nor what is called -by. astronomers the ‘mean moon,”’ but an imaginary moon, whose movemerfs are so arrangnd that it three days. Easter, which is now preceded by Lent, in early days was introduced by fasting on one day only—the Friday in Passion Week, known as Good Friday. By and by the time was extended to forty hours, in token that Christ had laid that long in the tomb, and from this it wus at last prolonged to forty days, the season of the temptation in the wilderness. ‘The primitive Christians on the morning of this day saluted each other with the words, “Christ is arisen,” to which the person addressed anéwered, “Christ is arisen, indeed, and hath appeared to Simon’’—a custom which is still retained in the Greek Church.—‘‘:Indeed,”’ said an eminent foreign writer, ‘all the ceremonies attending :the observance of Easter were at first exceedingly simple, but in the early part of the fourth century a decided change was bronght about. Constantine, naturally vain and proud of parade, signalized his love of display by celebrating this festival with extracrdinary pomp. Vigils, or night watches, were instituted for Easter eve, at which the people remained in the churches until midnight. The tapers, which it had before been customary tu burn at this time, did not satisfy his majesty, but huge pillars of wax were used instead, Not only:in the churches, but all over the city were they placed, that the beillianey of the night should far exceed the light of day. Easter Sunday was noticed with most elaborate ceremonials, the Popé officiating at mass, with every imposing accessory that could be devised.” During the interval between Easter and Pentacost, a period of fifty day», the Christians were not expected to pray kneeling, for this attitude was considered as a token of humility, but rather with outstretched arms, and faces looking to heaven, at this season when only songs of joy and gratitude were expected. Both Easter'and Pentacost Sunday were accounted fortunate days on which to baptize children, and the intervals lying between these days as lavorable for marriages. Various ceremonies, spirits and superstitions have in time past charac. terized the day, and still are many of the old Euster customs practiced in different parts of the world, That of follows the real moon-by-some-two-o; } making presents of colored eggs was . i™ The rank of a princess does not shield her from a salute on the cheek by the lowest boor who presents her an egg at Easter, in Russia; and the custom of distributing pace, or pache ege—the Pussion or Easter egg—is still observed by the peasantry in different parts of England; while the: young peopleof Scotland, where the festival has’ been suppressed for centuries, still throw about and play with hardboiled colored eggs, which they_finally eat. In the days when old and young alike received these eggs, the demand for them was such that they commanded oftentimes great prices. After they were boiled hard, and colored in red, violet, blue, green, etc., dyes, inscriptions.and various designs were traced on them, and thus ornamented were exchanged by those sentimentally ininclined, very much after the same fashion-as—are the-valentinesofthe present day. The'plainer ones were saved by the youth and: used on Easter Monday in playing ball, which, by the way, was_a favorite game. On Easter Monday even the clergy indulged in the delights of this game of ball, which men, women and children reveled in. In many instances it formed a'part of their service, bishops and deacons taking a ball to church, and at the commencement of the anthem, while dancing to the music, throwing it to ‘the choristers, who handed it back and forth to each other during the singing. After this service they all retired for refreshments, -which usually consisted of a dish ef bacon with tansy pudding— this last symbolical of the bitter herbs they were commanded to take at the Paschal feast. Though these old customs are often modified and greatly changed, they all bear resemblance to those from which they sprung. In certain parts of England the absurd and senseless practice of ‘‘lifting’’ or ‘heaving’ is in vogue. This is performed by strong men or women joining hands across each other’s wrists, forming a sort of seat, in which the person to be lifted sits, when he is thrown up into the air two or three times, being often, during this process, carried several yards along the street. On Euster Mondays the men ‘“‘lifv’’? the women, and on Tuesdays the women return the compliment. Very ludicrous incidents have been related of travelers who, ignorant of the prevalence of this custom, have been astonished to find themselves in the strong arms of these people, and ‘‘heaved” in spite of their execrations and efforts at release. In olden times the churches of Enrope at this season presented much the appearance of theaters, and crowds of peopled jostled each other tosee the sepulchers erected representing the whole scene of the Savior’s entombment. In those days the belief prevailed that the Lord’s second coming: would be on Easter Eve,hence the sepulchers were anxiously watched through the night preceding Easter Sunday until 3 a.M., when two aged monks would enter and take out a beautiful image of the resurrection, which was held up before the worshiping audience during the chanting of the anthem, “Christus Resurgeus.” It was then carried to the high altar, where a procession was formed with lighted tapers, and old men_ bearing a canopy of velvet over the image, they preceeded around the exterior of the chureh, all singing, rejoicing and praying, until, coming again to the high altar, their precious burden was placed there, not to be removed until Ascension Day. Easter week is still the great season ut “Rome. For Easter Sunday the greatest preparations are made, and itis celebrated with elaborate ceremonials. The day is usheredin by the firing of cannon, and early in the morning curriages with their eager freight of men and women, begin to roll toward St. Peter’s Cathedral, which is richly decorated for the occasion, the altars freshly ornamented and the lights around the tomb of St. Peter all blazing. On this day the Pope officiates at muss with every imposing accessory that human invention can desire. From a hell in the palace of the Vutican he is carried into the church, borue on the shoulders of his officers, On his head he wears a round, gilded cap representing a triple crown, signifying spiritual and temporal power, a union of both, On all sides of him are carried large fans of ostrich feathers, in which are placed the eyelike parts of peacock feathers, to represent the vigilant eyesof the charch. When in the church he rests under a rich canopy of silk. Aiter mass,to the sound of music, he is borne back to a balcony over the central doorway, where, rising from his chair of state, he: pronounces a benediction, with indulgences and absolution, The crowd of people who witness this most imposing of all the ceremonies at Rome at, this season is immense. Below the balcony at which . }. the Pope appears to pronounce the benediction is the densest crowd, who watch with upturned faves the falling of the papers containing copies of the . : prayers that bave been uttered, which are thrown down by the Pope and his assistants, ce Te Dispel Colds.

HFT I: a] : > Taste And thus the years ; oven after peace was declared Adele remained on the old plantation, teaching the blacks, content with her work, ever gentle and comforting to all. Antony Robinnette never regained eufficient health during the war to re-enter the army. During his long convalescence he commenced the study of medicine, and in three years ly well off to do as he pleased, he considered long and “looked about’? much before settling down to practice of his profession. Often and oftei the thoughts of gentle Adele would crowd upon his mind, but the assurances oft repeated in letters. by his cousin Louis that she had not been heard from convinced him that he had passed out ,of her life, graduated an M. D. SufficientThere came 8 summer time when every tiding from the South brought news of yellow fever; in a week the epidemic was a horrible certainty; from the cities and towns it spread to the remote country; the medical, physical and financial resources of the South were unequal to repel the enemy; they called upon their former foes for aid, and noble was the response. Doctor Antony Robinnette, now a sober, thinking man, felt.it urged upon him; more strongly than impulse had ever before prompted him, that he should go to hel; save those whom once he went to slay, an with more true heroism than when with boyish pride he entered the army, he started for the field of pestilence and-death. Arriving at Memphis the officers of the Howards informed him that his services : — , TF BHE HAD DIED, would be most welcome at a plantation some thirty miles down the river. Ho took the next boat, reached his destination and walked under the hot August sun to the dilapidated old mansion that was now a great hospital, crowded with poor whites and blacks in every stage of the fever. His step upon the piazza brought fromthe door a great, gaunt creole; she knew him not with his mature face and beard. Before he could pronounce her name, “Celestine,” a frail, angel-faced woman steod inthe doorway; her lips parted, her glorious eyes all aglow in recognition; no change could hide that man from her. He stood face to face with Adele Viegron! Their meeting was very calm, commonplace, seemingly; life and death was in the balance and the physician entered upon his duties; the lover stood aside for a time, Together they toiled; it was.at odd moments in weary days and nights that they learned the truth and the treachery of Louis; there was none of the light joy of love in their new wooing, but it was all the more sacred and sincere for its solemnity. But at last Adele was seized; she had refused to spare herself, and the destroyer fastened his fangs upon her weak form. Robinnetté was almost exhausted with ONE NIGHT ONLY! Monday, April 224d, ’89.
