Father An .R staet, and Rev Father Glendon, pastor of the Church of Our r. Lady of Seven Dolors, New on Texas, arrived upon his Epies =copal visitation to the congre $'of St. Francisville, cn Friday Sevening, 5th instant and r was warmly welcomed at the Church of St. Mary of L Mount Carmel, Rev. T. A. Smith, pastor, by a large e77. number of people, among ant whom were many who, r, though differing with him in ,te religious views and sentiments. Sof had assembled to pay the pt- tribute of respect and esteem due to the venerable and faith st, ful Shepherd whose head is t white with the weight of years of spent in watchfulness over a ed beloved flock and the minis tration of works of chiarity. ty Though worn with the fa the tigues of the journey and the Dot iacessant labors that had at ma tended his progress through )ol our sister parish of Pointe for Coupee, the venerable Prelate of paused to bestow his benedic tion within the sanctuary, to which was received with evi er, dences of profound reverence ad and humilty, im On Sunday morning follow ,: ing, 7th instant, high mass was offered, Rev. Father. of Glendon celebrant, at 9 a. m. he The church was crowded, there 's' being present, in addition to t the congregation proper, many ,n, catholics from Pointe Coupee he as well as members of the va nd rious religious denominations 0o in our midst. A fter :maes, the at Archbishop ascended the al, a tar steps and pronounced a os beautiful and fatherly address. he abounding in salutary advice eo to his flock and in words that lie conveyed the true essence of cy charity to his separated breth to ren who were present. lie e. also explamined the ellect of 1- the sacrgament of confirmation,. 1 about to be administered, reu of dered a full and concise ex d. position of the meaning of the ceremonies attending its min istration, his words being re , plete with christian unction. and filled with the pathosI which characterizes the utter Sances of the true shepherd to rN his fold. i- The sacrament of confirma ', tion was then administered, the t 0 fourteen candidates who had r e been prepared through the a '" laborse nf their beloved pastor, t SFather Smith, kneeling de- t e voutly at the sanctuary rail. His Grace extended his hands ti over them with a prayer that t Sthey might receive the seven- b Sfold grace of the Holy Ghost, ' 2-the IMPOSITION OF HANDS f: -mentioned in the holy scrip- n ture. With his thumb he " then annointed them on the 2 forehead with chrism, mak- in. ing a cross thereon, with these words: I SIGN THEE WITH THE el DI SIGN OF THE CROSS; I CONFIRM o THEE WITH THE CHRISM OF SAL- ac IVATION, IN THE NAME OF THE t FATHER, AND OF THE SoN, AND o' THE HOLY GHOST.-He then gave every one a slight blow te on the cheek, accompanied by a" these words: PEACE BE WITH THEE. Chrism, being a rich- , er substance than water, Big- do nifies that the grace of confir mation is the perfection of vi that of baptism. The balsam, he which preserves from corrup- co tion, is typical of the grace of or the Holy Ghost, whict pre- ce serves from sin, and is a sweet zy perfume, according to St. Paul, po "We are the sweet odor of se Christ in all places." The Ia, Cross on the forehead signifies of that we are never to be prn ashamed of the Gospel, but to a profess it openly before all da men. The stroke on the cheek CrE admonishes us that we must of expect to undergo persecution mE for the faith "once delivered 2 to the saints." J. During the administration w of the sacrament, a beautiful is hymn was rendered by the -. choir, in excellent taste. , After a few words of admo ir nition directed to his flock, w pointing out the dangers at.. e. tending the chirstian soul on e. its journey through life and ,y encouraging them in the exer id cise of virtue and seal, His at Grace bestowed his benedic of tion, the whole congregation L. kneeling devoutly. A severe re rain storm prevented the con ig templated exercises of the 3, evening which were to include in a lecture by the Archbishop s, and the benediction of the ie Blessed Sacrament. in On Monday morning he vis -. ited Jackson, Lit, and return is ed to this placie orin the follow rs ing afternoon. On Thesday a evening he was entertairied by i- our fellow-citize C.. Bockel, Esq., and took his departure -for Baton Rouge on the stea ve mer Gov. Allen, on Wednes -day morning. 'h While in.

Mumford and Watson, "mine hosts" of that favorite hostlery, the City Hotel. The occasion of the visit was to inspect a rare and unique- present made Sthe hotel by somie of its Texas friends, of IDallas; but, before the object of the call was carried out, a word from a veteran called to mind other things, perhaps not exactly pertinent to the visit, but still worthy of remembrance In the dark days for the boys, in the times when the flag of the confederacy had been furled and the gallant South rons, who had for four years struggled against fearful odds, had surrendered, there were a large number who, after al I their vicissitudes, arrived in New Orleans without a surplus of money in their pocket. Not to speak in poetic language, they didn't have a red cent; and asshel- I ter and food have been, and always will be, considered a prime necessity, they wanted sorely these luxuries. the boys from Texas, from Mississippi, from Arkansas, landed here without mo. n y and without means of communicat itr :with their friends. In this emergen. i cy the proprietors of the City Hotel came , f. rward and with a generosity and open lhspitality their subsequent career has c n't dimmed, they took an and cared for 0 every Confedetate. whether he had me- 0 ney or whether he had none. The best of appartments were open to these veteran ii soldiers, and notwithstanding the fact the boys were, so to speak, penniless, the it doors of the City Hotel were always open to their touch upon the latch strihg. This kind action has never been forgot ten, and as a pleasant reminder of the at appreciation of old friends, Messra. Mum ford and Watson were yesterday the re cipients of one of the most beautiful presents we have inspected for many a - day. Texas friends,.rememnbering kindly ser vices and generous hospitality, put their $1 heads together, and the product was an arm chair which has not its like in this di country. The back is formed of two ex- tIJ q uisitely polished horns from some des- ¶1 cendant of the old Spanish bulls. In symmetrical curvature both meet in of the centre of the back of the chair. the le points being artistically ornamented.- hi As arms, another pair reach from the ly larger one, forming the back, and turn bh downward to the seat. The legs are also w of horn, and the tips, turning upward, e present a round, polished surface to the ne floor, over which the chair moves as easily as on castors. The upholstery is sn damask, and elegantly wrought, and does credit to the originator of the idea. to As a curiosity the chair is well worthy fo~ of inspection; as a work of real art it is most novel and chaste. We congratul ate Mseare. Mumford d& Watson on the vi compliment paid thea, se GREAT DEMOCRATIC VICTORY!I on OHIo BEDEEMIIEDI rul he DEMOCBATIC MAJORITY 26,000!!1 The latest advices received up to the IOg moment of oing to press indicate be. Syond a doubt a sweeping victory for the its Democracey in Ohio. Bishop's majority DD ever West is variously estimated at fRom ld 95,000 to 30,000. The Republicans con cede Bishop a majority of 90,000. In the ir- Legislature, the Democrate have a ma [is8 jority of at least 95 on joint ballot, which C- ipsures a Democratic successor to Stan D ley Matthews in the United States Sen ate. In Hamilton county the whole re Democratic legislative and county ticket I- is elected by from 6,000 to 12,000 major he ity. The Workingmen's ticket drew e heavily from the republican vote. The result is regarded as a rebuke to the IP usurpation of Hayes. he Caors.-With the fine weather that has prevailed during the past ten or 18 twelve days, cotton picking has pro p- gressed favorably throughout the par Sish.
