Mr.. EDITOR: 1T was our good fortune to
be present at Cane Greek on the 2lst ult., and
witness the Celebration by the Sunday
School at that place.
Nine o'clock having been determined Ms the
hour for commencement of exercises. the visit
ing schools came up in procession and were
conducted to seats in the positions previously
arranged for them. The Academy, with the
capacity for seating near six hundred persons,
was now densely crowded, and services were
then opened with the reading of the Scrip
lures and prayer by the Rev. n. b. Goforth;
this was followed by the Introductory" de-
livcred by one of the little girls. which called
forth words of hearty approval from almost
every one who heard 1t.
Then came the. regular exercises. of the
School, which consisted In the recitation. by
the classes In their regular order, of Scriptu-
raj Quotations on all the leading doctrines
held by the various churches. and the recital.
by the little boys and girls, Of short, original
and very appropriate pieces prepared for the
occasion These exercises reflected much
credit upon those concerned and showed that
they had not been idle in the use of their great
text book and that they possessed more than
an ordinary degree of dcciamatory excellence.
The programme for the forenoon being now
completed. the audience was invited to plea
SAINT retreat in the grove to pnrtake Of some
substantial refreshments. in the shape OF a
regular old. fashioned basket dinner, which
means. among other things plenty. On re-as-
scmbling the Lecturers invited for the occa-
sion, were presented to large. intelligent,
and to all appearances most apprcciative as
sembly. Prof Goforth came first in order and
delivered most admirable sabbath School

trations adapted to the capacity of children

whose remarks were addressed more especial
ly to the common interest of the youth. Those
about Cane Creek will long remember his for
chile incitations TO noble emulation and en-
conraging consultations TO persons in good
works. The Rev. A. Tempeton concluded
these services in a few appropriate remarks,
interesting in brcvity, and beautiful in sim
plicity. The Rev. Mr.. Emory General Agent
American s. S. Union. being present was now
introduced and spoke for short time on the
general condition of the Sabbath School in
trrest in the United States. and concluded by
presenting to Miss Ellen Cobb, an appropriate
present, rs an expression of his appreciation
Of her excellent delivery of the " Introducto-
rv." l cannot close without making special
mention Of the delightful music that inter-
spcrsed the entire performances. The people

TEXAS RAILROADs.-The is
no question in the world, says the
Shreveport Southwestern, but
that the railroad companies in
Texas are moving heaven and
earth to build their respective
roads. This is more apparent
when contrasted with the luke
warmness and apathy of the Lou
isiana companies. 1t is seldom
that we pick up a Texas paper
but what we fnd-some encoirag-
ing account of the progress OF the
few roads located in that State.-
This should not be the case with
us, for our very existence, as a
commercial people, depends upon
the further extension of the roads
now under way. 1t is really dis
couraging to us to see the energy
and perseverance manifested by
the Texas companies and then
witness the Indifference and apa-
thy Of ours.

The contest for power at the
North will no longer be between
the Republicans and Democrats,
but between Conservative Repub-
licans and Radicals. Then will
we see the 'great uprising" that
will overwhelm the corrupt and

ces. Then will the appeals of the
down-trodden and the captive
have their force upon the popu-
lar heart of the North Then will
be illustrated the wisdom of the
advice of Mr.. Greeley not to dis
franchise any Of a free people -
Because, said he, twe have seen
that the slave in his bonds was
more powerful than his master,
by reason of the principle of JUS
tice which was crucified in him
by his enthralment. So will the
disfranchised minority be strong
er than the enfranchised majority
which may vainly attempt in free
America to hold them in subjec-

Removal of the Confederate Dead at
Gettysburg.

A committee of ladies of Rich
mond published an appeal to the
survivor of the Confederate army
and the fathers, brothers, and
friends of the slain, to raise the
means of transferring the remains
of the Confederate soldiers who
fell at Gettysburg, to the Holly
wood cemetery, in Virginia. They
say:
"There should be something
done with the remains of the
Southern soldiers. There are
about six hundred marked graves,
and these are fast becoming OBJ
liberated. Their names might be
preserved, and the remains gath
cred together into a cemetery or
burying ground, if any one would
take the matter in hand.''
The Hollywood Memorial As
sociation have the disposition to
undertake this work, but do not
possess the ability unless gener-
rously aided by friends through
out the South. They offer ample
grounds in their cemetery, and
also the aid Of their association to
prosecute the work, should it be
found practicable to remove the
bodies to Richmond.
Southern papers are requested to
notice their appeal, which re-
minds the South that every South
ern State has representatives at
Gettysburg. Will not active men
and women, in city, and town,
and country, at once volunteer to
collect and send contributions p
N. o. Ne,cs.

The Great Proselyte.

Charles toyson, known as father
Hyacinthe, was born at Orleans,
in 1927, and finished his studies
in the Academy of Pau, of which
his father was Rector, and at an
early age became famous for his
remarkable poetical writings. In
1916, he entered the theological
seminary of Saint Sulpice, at Pa
ris, and, after four years. study,
was ordained Priest. He was next
appointed Professor of Philoso-
ply at the great seminary at
Avignon, and subsequently Pro-
fessor of Theology at the great
seminary at Nantes. He next
performed the duties of Priest in
the parish of the Church of Saint
Sulpice, and after ten years trial
became convinced that his true
vocation was preaching. He then
spent two years in the convent of
the Car1nelites at Lyons, and sub
sequently was admitted to that
order and made his first appear
ance as public orator by preach
ing with great success during a
spiritual retreat held at the Lyce-
um of Lyons. He next preached
the advent course of sermons at
Bordeaux in 1868, and the Lent
sermons at Perigneux in 1864,
and in the summer of that year
proceeded to Paris and preached
first at the Church of the Made
leine and next the Advent course
of sermons at the Church of Notre
Dame. During the last five years
the sermons Of father Hyacinthe
have been one of the great attrac-
tions of Paris, and his preaching
has attracted large and intelligent
audiences.

The 32D MISUNDERSTANDING
to the action of the Louisville
Convention upon the Southern
Pacific Railroad, the Shreveport
News says:
The adoption of the 32d paral-
lei should awaken to new life this
section of country to complete
the road to Vicksburg, which
lacking but 80 miles could be fin
ished before other points, fully
awake and energetic though they
be, could take the field. No mat
ter if this portion is owned by q
party, the proper public spirit
cot1ld soon secure its vigorous
prosecution. Will Shreveport and
North Louisiana remain longer
dormant Postpone work six
months Or a year longer and the
Pacific Railroad is lost to Shreve-
port.
