LoupREs, Oct. IL, 1872.
1t is impossible to say how much
more should have heard il the procession of
banners had not commenced to emerge from the
parish church Of Lourdes, and the immense con-
course OF people drove those. who were in the
plaza to the sides Of the houses around it.
The procession wound it's Way down the road
to the Grotto. It was just mile long, and the
first banners entered the prairie before the last
had left the parish church: AlRace and Lorraine
had sent theirs in mourning, borne by girls in !,
passed to kiss the tassals that hung from it.
The magnificent embroidery, painting, and work
in relief on these 285 banners cannot be sur
passed. They we're green, violet, white, and
blue. The Lille banner, though very handsome,
vas outshone by the banner from Nantes, rem
pered so heavy by gold and embroidery that
six strong men could scarcely lift it. Algeria,
Bordeaux, Mans Castres, Rheims, Chartres,
Paris, we1e in the second order Of beauty and
cost.
The sight can be imagined, under dazzling
sky and streaming sun. Down came the long
line OF waving banners, followed by people OF all
classes, singing the hymns of the day.
AN IMPOSING CEREMONY.
The. banners collected in a vast circle round
the altar at the further end OF the prairie during
yespere, after which the eight Bishops blessed
them, and, at given signal, the So ooo Pilgrims
fell on their knees to receive the final benedlc-
tion of the prelates, all the prelates stretching
their hands ont over the multitude. After thls
ceremony the banners fell again into procession
al order, and were carried up to the ne" temple;
If possible, this WAS the most imposing sight OF
all, as the ascending paths wind in and out along
the acclivity. There was moment Wne1 tne
prairie lay IN blaze OF gold, reflected from the

pretend you have visions, and you have got all
the country in excitement with your tales, What
do you mean by telling me these things7 What
is this? Nothing but things you cannot
prove"
Bernadette was in no way astonished. She
clearly related all that had occurred, all she had
seen and heard, and when she had done the cure
asked, sand what is the name OF your dame7"

This is February; go and tell her that II she

make that branch bring forth roses in this sea~

Thereupon Bernadette Was dismissed
s'The hriar will bring forth buds said the
people in the village; but the rock has brought
forth something else.
When the child next saw her vision she gave
the cures message, which the "dame" did not
heed; but told her to go on her knees from the
place she VAS on to the hard, dry rock, and as
lar as she could, until she could go no further.
The people who we're looking on saw her do this,
there we're 300 present, holding their breath in
suspense and wonder. When she came to her
self she Wss still repeating .

DOVER, Oct. 8, 1872.-Aly Dear Boy THE
double-barre1 that you sent came safely to hand,
and I was only shot at once while was carrying
it home. Bill Shvers popped at me from behind
the fence as Vas passing his house, but had
loaded the two-shooter as soon as I got it, and
he didn't jump up from behind that fence but
once.
I am ga1d that one Of the barrels ID rifle as I
needed it for long range practice. The other I
can fill with huckshot, and can riddle man
nicely at close quarters. I mean to try both
barrels on those Jetts when meet them. You
see, old man Jett stole q mule from Us in the
war, and when it WIS over pap laid for him and
killed him.. Then nigger Tom Jett, as we called
him-the black-faced one-he laid for pap and
plugged him. Then picked fuss with Tom
and cut him into giblets, and since that time his
brother Sam has been laying for me. I know it,
it is his turn, but think my double-barrel will
prove too much for him.
# you want to see fun come down for a whla
and bring rifle. It don't make any difference
which side you belong to, and it isn't even
necessary TO join the militia. It is easy to get
up grudge against somebody, and ell you have
to DO is to lay for your man and knock him over,

Among the Holland Possessions there is a re-

and the original customs Of its inhabitants. sur
passes the bo1dest dreams Of American emanci-
patton ladies. Upon the Island Of Java, between
the cities Of Batavia and Samarang, lies the lit
tie kingdom Of Bantam. Although tributary to
Holland, it is an Independent State, politically
without importance, yet happy, rich, and since
time immenori+l, governed and defended BY
women; The sovereign is indeed n'an, but al
the rest Of the government belongs to the fair
sex: The King Is entirely dependent upon his
State Council, composed OF three women.
The highest authorities, all State officers,
court funcfionaries, military commanders,
and soldiers are, without exception, Of the f7-
male sax. The men are agriculturjsts and mer-
chants. The body-guard Of tho King is formed
Of the female ellie These Amazons tide in the
masculine style, wearing sharp steel points in

which they swing very gracefully, and also
musket, which is discharged at full gal1op. The
throne is inheritable by the eldest eon. and, IN
case the King dies without iEsue, hundred
elected Amazons assemble, in order to choose
successor from among their own sons. The
choEen one is then proclaimed lawful King:

The catch of mackerel up to this time, Gays
the Cape Ann (Alass.) Advertiser, has not been
more than two-thirds that Of last season.
Whether tho present month will add materially
to the catch remains to be seen. Schooner MI
antononlah, Of Newburyport, recently caught IL
her nets one hundred and forty barrels Of mack
ere1, and, out Of the lot, only thirty-hve bar
rels were large enough to pay for pack
ing. The remainder, one hundred and tVe
barrels, were thrown overheard. This waste
and destruction OF mackcrel is one serious OBJ
jection against eeining. These fab are among
the most nervous Of any that swim, and the
least confinement go excites them that they Keep
il constant motion and soon destroy themselves.
It often occurs that sainer will take in the nets
from 500 to 1000 barrels ct rlackere1, and as it
is impossible for them to take care Of more than
200 barrels before the balance get SO soft as to
be unfit for dressing, unless there happen to be
other vessels near, there is great waste. This
has been the experience Of many Of the seiners
this season. The Grand A1enan fishermen say
that they have not had better fishing for years
than they are now wlaving-avevagipg from three
to i've quintals to man daily.
