The billiard counter of Dir. LEON
GoDEFRoY, which he has at last
completed, is indeed a most iDge-
Nous continuance. It is SO con
structed that sometime during the
progress of each game, and before
another can possibly be commenced,
a finger upon dial No. l is made to
count one; at the close Of ten games
or when the finger on dial No. l has
made a complete circuit, a finger on
dial No. 2 counts one, and when
this finger shall have made a circuit
also, a third finger counts one; so
that the units, tens and hundreds
of games are accurately marked,
and there is no possibility. Of cheat
ING in the absence of clerks. This
wonderful little Invention of Mr..
Godefroy. is 50 simple, and win be
so cheap and useful to billiard hall
proprietors, that It is destined to
work a worldwide revolution in
the counting of billiards. Ere long
we hope to hear of them in cyery
billiard hall in America, and see
Mr.. Godefroy counting his money
bv the thousand.

NoTRE DAME DE Bon PORT, BURAs SET
ELEMENT, PARISH OF PLAoUEMINEs.-This
church was erected in 1865, by Rev. M.
Harnais. It is 100 feet in length by SIS in
width, ard can accommodate 800 persons
comfortably. During the past eighteen
months, through the exertions of the parish
priest, Father Gaillet, it has been COM
plcted and much beautified. The congre-
cation consists of about $50 families, ex-
tending along the coast, from the forts to
within short distance of Pointe-a-la-
Hache, q distance of thirty miles.
The pastor is at present assisted by his
brother, Rev. Joseph Gaillet, who also at
tends Bellevue Settlement, about twelve
miles from Pointe-a-la-Hache.
Next year a church, dedicated to st. Pa
trek, will be erectee, under Father Joseph
Gaillet's Pastorship. The ground is already
purchased-one acre and half, at Sl2 600.
Now, we must tell little secret we
heard. The two Rev. brothers live to-
gether, Father John being the cure. We
heard he sold his watch and buggy to help
to pay off the debts, and he is now often
compelled to go on his mission of many
miles on foot. We heard he has gone
through the heats, the cold and the rains
many muddy mile on foot, like his zeal
GUS brother. But there is an effort going
on that will soon release the good fathers
of their hardships, as well as the congrega-
ton of the discredit of it.
The popularity of the "little priest" as
they call the respected cure, Father John,
can only be known by a visit among
the parishioners. He is expected and well
coined everywhere by all, Professionals and
Catholic alike. Nor are the Protestants
the least liberal in their contributions

The War With Mexico.

Some Texas cattle have been lately
| stolen along the Rio Grande, and stampeded
over into Mexico. This has happened so
often, as it is asserted, that it is assuming
proportions of national Importance. The
Kickapoos, it is said, are retained in Next
CO for the express purpose Of stealing these
cattle, and the Government is urged to in
wade Mexican territory to right the wrong
by the strong hand of power. Gen. Rey-
notds suggests this course. The invasion
OF Mexico would be declaration of war
and war with Mexico might turn up quite
handily at this time. In The first place,
there would be no danger in it. The whole
Republic is SO miserably wrecked by it's
intestine wars, SO divided by political feuds,
that it could not make decent show of re-
distance to any encroachment of this coun-
try. 1t is about the only nation in the
world that the United States would dare to
go to war with under any provocation
while the Southern States are held as con-
quered provinces. It is possible, however,
that enough old Confederate soldiers would
leak into the Mexican armies to make the
matter more serious than Uncle Sam would
like to bargain for.
Bat such a war would have two advan-
tages. 1t would give the Republican party
policy and an army. It is very much in
need of both these things-a policy which
could arouse some of the old enthusiasm
which is so necessary to control a Disguised
North, and an army 80 very desirable for
election purposes in the South. Grant must
be thoroughly displeased at his descent
from the command of one million Of men
to that of thirty thousand. These sugges-
tions from the Rio Grande may be inspira-
tions from Washington.
