LETTER FROM PLAouEm1NE.
PLAoUEMINE, Aug. 20, Isl

ILAStEMlNE, aug. w. lSOS.
Editor Morning Star and Catholic Messenger:
The Feast of the Assumption has this
year been most beautifully observed
throughout the Catholic portions of our
State, if one is to judge from the manner
Of its observance in this section,
At st. Raphaers Chapel formerly sta
ton attended by the parish priest of St.
GabrieFs, just opposite, now separate
parish, in charge of Rev. Father Vallee,)
seven miles below this place, after high
mass and sermon in the morning, the
evening was occupied with procession
and bencdiction of the blessed sacrament
At st. Gabriels, arrangements were made
for n procession but. owing to delay i'll
getting across the river our worthy pastor,
Father D'IIcmecolut. who was to preach on
the occasion, did not arrive until it was
pretty late in the cvcning-so late, after the
sermon. that the intended procession did
not take place.
Here, as far as our procession was con
ccrned, we Jared little better than our
neighbors of St. Gahricl's. On Sunday
evening, every thing was in readiness and,
after an excellent sermon in French, by
Rev. Father Dubcrnard, of st. Gabricl's,
the procession issued from the church, in
the following order: cross bearer and AGO.
lytes; brass band: boys of st. Johns
Schools girls of the Academy of St. Basil ;
congregation; celehrs"t Gather Duber-

had not time to make the circuit of the
little square in front of the church, in
which space it had not formcd-in fact,
could not well do so-when Il heavy dash
of rain compelled our immediate return to
the church, where benediction of the
blessed sacrament was given.
Allregrcttcd that our procession did not
take place. We had reason to believe it
would be a grand:rnd imposing sight; and
such it would have been, had-t!le weather
been more favorable Another time we
hope for better.
The alacrity shown by the congregations
of the different churches in this section is,
to the Catholic, a most consoling evidence
of Christian faith and it is to be fervently
hoped these beautiful demonstrations will
continue to increase, year after year, until
every parish throughout our country will
have its procession in honor of the Immac-
ulate Mary, under whose protection it has
been placed. PELICAN.

SWEARING IN HEBREw.-The ungentle-

now constant, that people are shocked on

the following anccdote showed considerable
tact in conveying needed rebuke:
A lady in Il car on the New York Central
Railroad, was disturbed in her reading by
the conversation of two gentlemen, just be-
fore her. One of them was evidently a
student of some college on his way home
for vacation, and used much profane
language. Thinking it proper to rebuke
him, she begged pardon, and asked the
young student if he had studied the
languages. Student" Yes, madame,
l have mastered the languages quite we'll ="
Lady" DO you read and speak Hebrew ~
Student" Quite fluently." Lady-"WiH
you be so kind as to do me favor2" Stu
dent" With pleasure. am at your SER
vice." Lady" Will you be so kind as to
do your swearing in Hebrew ?" We may
suppose that the lady was not annoyed any
more by the ungentlemanly conduct of this
wOuld- be gentleman.

Remedy for the Hop-Louse.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentlemen states that there is a rem
edy for the aphis, simple, entirely
effective aud easily applied over
horizontal yards. He says every
man who dashes plaster freely over
the vines npon the first appearance
OF the louise. saved his crop last
year He then goes on to state
that Mr. Nj. G. Wetmore busted his
whole yard " it'll equal parts of plas-
ter lGypsum). and slsked lime mix
ed, soon after the appearance of the
lice in his hop-yard July last cons
pletely destroying every louise. He
adds-"The hops harvested from
his yard were the finest | have ever
seen, and deservedly took the first
prize at the New York State Fair,
and better still, Mr. Wetmore sold
$4,000 pounds of the same hops at
70 cts. per pound. One application of
plaster and lime saved for him near>
Iv $4,000. These were nearly all
on stakes and Irvine" The remedy
il very easily tried, and the materi~
ais are cheap and within tho reach
of every one who owns hop yard.
If the remedy proves as efficient as
recommended, the value can scarcely
be estimated TO those engaged in
this branch OF farming. Ihtcd, ~ Y,

Old Clothes.

Cd clothes pass into the hands of
two distinct dealers, and by them
are turned to a valuable use. These
dealers are the men who buy old
clothes. and the men who pick them
out Of the street. There are five
hundred oil / clothes dealers In New
York who have shops, and who send
men out to collect old garments
Many OF these sell the old clothing
for a small advance to one or two
large concerns. In one of the large
shops men and women work early
and late for the trifing pay they re-
ceive tor the stitch, stitch, stitch. by
which they pnt into some kind of
shape the old clothes that their mas
ter has bought up the day before
These clothes, after being purchased
by the '.boss," are assorted add scour
ed, and are then cut and sewed into
shape and made to resemble new
clothes. They are then packed in
boxes and sent to an agent at the
west, who disposes of them to the best
advantage, the advantage generally
being the realization of about 20 per
cent. on the original cost. The larg
est traffic of this kind is carried on
by the Jews.
The other dealer, he who picks up
scattered rags, takes them to large
warehouse, where busy clerks assert,
and weigh, and price them. The
buyer of these rags has them careful,
" assorted and washed, when they
are packed in bales and sent to the
different factories which buy them
for the purpose Of making them into
paper.
