The Dutchess dOwaser Stephanie of Baden a
relative the mothers side of Louis Napoleon ia
arrived at Paris; so is the Cardinal legate who
comes fresh from the Pope to do the proxy honors
of the baptism next Saturday. The baptism is to
take place ut NOtre Dame Lext Saturday, at Al
p. m. or later; then follows ball at the Hotel
de VILE at which father and mother will be
present. All the invitation cards were exhausted
some dnys since. The Project Of the Seine cOur-
teOusy apologies to foreigners for not being able
to give them large share of invitations as usual
The present being peculiarly French occasion,
cards were issued in larger proportion than usual
to French people. Newspaper reporters of the for
eign press not admitted to baptism or ball. We
shall, however, have "Original" opportunities of
hearing the guns from the lnvalides of seeing all
the fire works, Mdts de Cocagne, public theaters,
gratis theatrical representations at all the regular
opera houses and tneaters, iluminatiOns Of public
squares, gardens, monuments and private houses,
etc, etc, and generally of being squeezed out of
shape in the crowd for whose rejoicing all these
things will be discharged, displayed, lighted,
played, performed and set off on the evening of
Saturday, and throughout the day and ereaing Of
Sunday. If there il any sound doctrine in the
ideas Of the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, who
will put up prayers and sing laudations for the
preservation and in praise Of the Napkin and his
parents, the whole performances should close with
e Darts hpf ha yIon
waters of the Seine.
Luckily the ArchbishOps doctrine is Ohret for
this year by the pleasant weather last Sunday.
Last Sunday, as the Emperor very we'll knows, was
ST Medards, and it did not rain last Sunday.
Consequently, we are to have a dry June and
July. The why of it is this: Some centuries ago
St Medard, who was not saint then, but only the
Rev. Dom. Medardus, sent out, suppose, by
some A. B. C. +. Nj. of that date, came to preach
the Gospel to the Gauls aud Franks. They did
not relish the doctrine and dry theological cOntro
versy being unknown in those times and parts, they
settled bis arguments by q variation of BrOOks's
logic. They drowned the man who reproached
them with their sins. This gentlemanly aud gal
liant procedure took place on the oth OF June.
And ever since, il it rains on that day, 1t is sign
that in honor of the Saints watery death, the
heavens will drop rain for forty days after. 80
The day ia looked forward to with much anxiety
by farmers umbrella dealers, frulterers, ana all
others in any way interested in the state OF
the weather My concierge, who brought up
from the little well of courtyard to my
balcony a Dot of the flowers, that they might
oct sniff of fresh air and whatever
Slimpses of sunshine were to be hoped for last
week and who devoutly believes in the legend,
historically and Dramatically, nsiyely expressed
her regrets that the heather had not burned the
Saint instead of drowning him. 1t would have
been all the same to the good man in the time OF
Il and would have helped forward the season so
finely now .a.days: salads, aud all manner OF gar
den '.sarse" being as cheap and plentiful In mid
June as in August.
