LETTER FROM HouMA.
HoUMA, La, Oct. 8,

HOUMA, La, Oct. y, 1871.
Editor Morning Star and Catholic Messenger:
On the evening Of the 18th ult.. the
inhabitants Of our little town were
the Most Rev. Archbishop N. j. Perche,
of New Orleans. On Sunday morning, at
half-past seven o'clock, at the Holy Sacri-
fee, his Grace gave the "Bread of Life" to
those that had been prepared to receive it,
and many for the first time were admitted
High Mass was said by the Very Rev.
Gouvenaux, and, when concluded, the
Holy Sacrament of Confirmation was adj
ministered by his Grace.
At two O'Clock in the evening an eloquent
sermon in English was delivered by the
Most Rev. Archbishop. Many bad assem-
bled, some through curiosity, and others to
hear the truths aud fundamental principles
of our holy Church thoroughly expound
ed-a privilege seldom allowed to our par
ish. 1t was with feeling of delight that
We noticed several of our most prominent
Protestant friends present. His Grace, at
the end Of his discourse, exhorted them to
reflect seriously, not on his words, nor on
the eloquence of their utterance, but solely
on the meaning they conveyed, and the
great truths they contained.
On the same evening, at about seven
o'clock, pyrotechnic exhibition took place
at the Academy Of Our Lady of the Sacred
Heart. This magnificent reception next
demands our immediate attention, and we
will try to give an account of it, as we'll as
it can be pictured to our mind.
The excellent Sisters of this splendid es-
adjustment, being apprized of the arrival
of their most welcome guest, Immediately
prepared themselves to receive him in the
most appropriate manner possible. Ac-
cordipgly an arc-Ge-triomphe was erected
in the middle alley leading to the convent
hall, aud the front of the Academy was
brilliantly illuminated, as well as the play
ground, situated on both sides of the alley.
There were many ladies and gentlemen
Catholics and Protestants) assembled
within and without the building, who had
come to show that their love for the chief
pastor of the diocese was not abated in any
degree. Several vocal and instrumental
performances cheered the assembled multi
tude, and the performers deserve, indeed,
great credit, as we'll as their talented pro-
fessor, Mir. Zellinka, who conducts the
musical department of the Academy. The
whole showed that the lady professors of
this school are entirely devoted to the edu-
cation and moral refinement of their pd-
pills. Let us hope, therefore. that the ban.
ner of prosperity and popularity will con-
tinue to wave over our noble and pr0mis-
ing institution during the coming years.

NEWSPAPER PATRoNAGE.-There seems
to be o great many different ways of de-
fining and understanding the phrase "news-
paper patronage" and as a party interested
in a correct definition of the same, we give
place to the following disquisition on the
subject, by one who knows whereof he
speaks. 1t may serve, perhaps, as mirror
in which certain persons may be able to
"see themselves as others see them:
Many long aud weary years of expert
ence in the publishing business has forced
the conviction upon US that newspaper pa
tronage is a word of many definitions, aud
that great majority of mankind are either
ignorant of the correct definition, or are
dishonest, in a strict biblical sense of the
word. Newspaper patronage is composed
of as many colors as the rainbow, and as
changeable as chameleon.
One man comes in and subscribes for
paper and pays for it in advance and goes
home and reads it with the proud satisfac-
ton that it is his. He hands in his place
of business, and reaps the advantages
thereof. This is patronage.
Another man asks you to send him pa
per and goes off without saying Il word
about pay. Time passes on, and you are ia
need of money, and ask him to pay the
sum he owes you. He flies into passion,
perhaps pays, perhaps not. and orders his
paper stopped. This is called patronage.
One man brings in fifty cent advertise
.ment and wants two dollar puff thrown
in, and when you decline, he goes off mad.
Even this may be called newspaper patron
age.
Another man don't take your paper, it is
too high priced, but he borrows it regular
ly and reads 1t. And that could be called
newspaper patronage.
One RAN likes the paper; he takes a
copy ind pays for it, aud gets his friends
&c DO the same he is not grumbling to
you or others, but has friendly word. If
an accident occurs in his section, he informs
the editor. This is newspaper patronage.
A man has taken tho paper several years,
but has not paid for it, and he comes with
an advertisement which he wants inserted
free because he is Gan old patron" This is
called patronage.
One man hands you n marriage or other
notice ard asks for extra copies of the pa
per containing it, aud "when you surely
don't take pay for such small matters
that is called patronage.
One man, it is good to see such, comes il
and says, ''The year which paid is about
to expire, want to pay for another" HI
does so aud retires. This is patronage.
1t will be seen by the above that while
certain kinds of patronage are the yer.
life of the newspaper, there are othe
kinds more fatal to its health and circuia
ton than the coils of the boa coustricto
are to the luckless prey which it "patron
izes."-St. Paul, Minm., Catholic 0kreHicl'

How General yackson Acquired the name Of " Old
Hickory"

Capt. VIM. Allen, of Tennessee, who,
with his brother John, served under Jack
son in the army, used to relate the follow
ing snecdote when asked how the General
had acquired the name of "Old Hickory"
During the campaign, which included
the battle of Emuckfaw Creek. the army
was moving rapidly to surprise the Indians.
aud were without tents. In the month Of
March. cool equinoctial gale fell on us,
mingled with sleet, which lasted several
days: The General was exposed to the
weather., and was suffering severely with q
bad cold and sore throat At night we
bivouacked in a muddy bottom, while il was
pouring down rain, which froze as 1t fell.
My brother John and I, finding that he was
unwell, became uneasy about him, though
he did not complain, and laid down upon
the blanket by the camp fire with his sol
diers. Seeing him wet to the skin,
stretched in the mud and water in his suf-
feriDg condition, We determined to try and
make him more comfortable
"We cut down q stout hickory tree, in
which the sap was rising, and peeled the
bark from it in large flakes; cut two forks
and q pole, laid down floor of bark and
dead leaves, and rooted it, and closed one
side, or rather one end of the structure,
against the wind, with bark, and left the
other open. We then dried our blankets,
and made him a pallet in the tent We con
strncted. We woke up the old General,
and with some difficulty persuaded him to
crawl in. With his saddle for pillow and
his feet to the fire, he slept snugty and
soundly all night, well cased in hickory
bark"
"The next morning an old man from the
neighboring camp came with whiskey, with
which, after imbibing quite freely himself,
he gave US all "a treat as far as the liquor
would 60. He seemed to be q kind hearted
jovial, and patriotic old fellow sort of
privileged character in this country.
While staggering about among the camp
fires, foil of fun and wlliskey, he Numbered
upon our hickory bark tent, which imme-
diately arrested his attention. After eying
it for moment, he exclaimed: "What sort
Of an outlandish Indian fixin' is this p end
gave it a kick which tumbled down the
queer-looking structure, and completely
buried the old hero in bark. AS he strug-
gled out of the ruins, and looked around
for the author of the mischief, the old topper
recognized him, and exc aimed "IIello,
Old Hickory come out of your bark and
join us in a drink. ,"
There was something so ludicrous in
the whole scene, that respect for his pres
ence and rank could not restrain our mer-
riment. He very good-humoredly Joined
US in laughing ut the mishap. AS he rose
up and shook the bark from him, we all
gave him q rira 'Hurrah for Old Hickory
This was the first time he ever heard these
words which were afterward shouted by the
millions of his countrymen whenever he
appeared among them"

AN OLD THEORY EXPLoDED.-Every-
body has read of DIR. Franklin's experiment
of placing pieces of cloth of different col
ors upon the snow in the sunshine to see
which would melt the snow most rapidly.
The doctor arrived at the conclusion that
black cloth was the warmest, aud white
the coolest. Professor TS ndal, perhaps
tire highest authority in the world, shows
in one of his lectures, as published in his
lin was in error. He says that no inference
can safely be drawn as to the absorbing
power of cloth or any other material from
its color that the luminous rays of the sun
are destitute of heat that the non-lumin-
Gus rays produce all the heat in the atmos-
phere or elsewhere; and he made expert
ments to show that of two substances, both
white, one would becomehot in the rays of
| the sun aud the other reTnain cold.

NEW FEATURE IN THE INCOME TAX

Some time ago the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue ruled that the
income tax is not legally due and
cOllectable for the last five months
of the wear 1870. The reason of this
ruling was that, by the last preced-
ing act of Congress, continuing the
income tax, it was provided that this
tax should expire on the lst Of Au-
gust. 1870. OF course it did so eX-
pire; and as Congress did not renew
the law until the 1st day of January,
1871. there could have been no in
come law in force during the five
months intervening from August 1st,
1870. to January 1st, 1871. General
Pleasonton' ruling is right and law
ful. The Treasury Department has
no more right to collect the tax for
this time than it would have to col
lect a tax on children, bachelors, or
spinsters. or any other subject not
named by law. But the Treasury
Department has a policy and a way
of its own to enforce it, and it don't
allow innocent parties or the want
of laws to stand as OF stacles. The
Secretary demands the opinion of
the Attorney General as to whether
he can enforce a tax not authorized
by Congress. and the Attorney Gen
eral, not wishing to quarrel with the
Secretarys pet policy replies: Yes,
by all means, collect the tax The
people who can read the Constitu-
ton, and who have learned from it
that Congress alone has lawful power
to Law taxes. will bevery apt to form
their own opinion of the law officer
of the Government who gravely
holds that the Treasury Department
may correct any oversight by Con-
gress in this respect and levy tax
unauthorized by law. The fact is
the Secretary Of the Treasury and
his policy are in the way of the de-
sires of the country, and if that Off
Ger had any delicacy he would not

other Office which viii not tempt him

THE LARGEST GUN IN THE WORLD.


The latest born offspring Of the
art of destruction is a thirty-tive ton
gun, just completed at the Royal
Arsenal. in England. This mon
strous creation was made upon the
coil principal, with two strips Of
wrought-iron, which. before they
were wrapped round the core, were
about one hundred and fifty feet IN
length. On its way to the practice
ground it crushed its own carriage
and the tramway upon which 1t
was travelling, but it was coaXed into
moving again. and the sponsors OF
the interesting infant fired 1t with
half a proof charge, its own shot
weighing seven hundred pounds, and
measuring a foot in diameter. and
two and a half feet in length. With
this load the monster recoiled nearly
nine feet up an inclined trail OF
seven degrees. but was otherwise un-
affected. When it has cut its teeth
with larger charges. it is to burn, as
a regular dose, one hundred and
twenty pounds OF pebble-powder,
the shot being the seven-hUndred-
pounder mentioned. with brass studs
to tit the rihing of the bore. In
firing it Il wire was attached to the
vent. the bell was rUng, and all
present hastened under cover. In
