Tbe calendar being the regular order,
Senator Carpenter moved to lay the cat

ing up the bill reported trom the commit

should be acted upon in order to avert

Bent in Louisiana.
'Senator Morton and Sherman also

demnation, but thought expulsion a dan
gerous precedent.
Mr. Speero thought the bouse could ex

From tho Mcmphla Appeal
Many suom Imprest-! with the belief
that Mardi Ora fostivilies constituto a

America these feslivilios are only ob
served in Mobile, New Orleans and Mom-
phis -all Southern cities, but tnoy origin
ated centuries aco. and were then called
carnivals, and were observed in Catholic
countries immediately after ibe commence
ment of Lent. To provo that, Iho Mardi
lira festivities grew out of the
old religious carnivals, wo have
only to refer to the fact thai
the Fronub term Mardi Ora moan
Shrove-Tuoday ; Confession Tuesday,
tba Tuesday after Qulnqusgesima Sunday,
or tbe day immediately preceding tbe first
of Lent, or Asb.-Wodne.dsy; on which
day all tbe peoplo of England, when Ro
man uatlioucs, wero ooiigeu to conies
their sin ono by ono to the parish priests,
after which thev dined on pancake and
fritter. Tbe Saturnalias of pagan Rome
wero succeeded by tbe Carnivals, and
Mardi Gras came down from these. The
Carnivals of Borne and Venice wern cele
brated by just tucb paradet as
will be witnessed to-mnrrnw. In
Pnris, Mardi Or at was prohibited in
1790. but again adopted on tbe appoint
ment of Napoleon Bonaparto at first con

joy to tbe people of Paris, and for many
year nothing could exceed the beauty
and rlchne of tbe coslume displiyed on
