BY FATHE RRYAN.

To-day the church puts away for
the moment the Lenten Gross, and
wears the crown of triumph in SYM
pathy with her glorified bride
groom But in this world the sba>
dow of the Gross is everywhere.-
There is 10 crown so bright as to es,
cape it, DO festivity so gay that its
presence is not there, almost invisi-
ble perhaps, but still discernable by
those who look earnestly.
Many. no doubt, will forget this,
and plunge madIy into the vortex
Of dissipation from which they have
been withdrawn for a few weeks Of
unwelcome modification. Others
will carry with them an abiding
memory of tine scenes they have
been contemplating, ard see the
dim shadow of the Gross on every
silken banner of triumph, across
every wreath OF roses. stretching
its solemn arms over every pageant
lestivity.
For these fortunate ones there
will be no disappointment, either in
this world or the next. The Gross
is the inevitable framework Of eve
~ earthly structure it is the cen
traI figure on which all LIES gar~
lands are hung. Sometimes their
profusion hides it, but VIXEN the
flowers have persisted the Cross is
tLere-the Gross and the thorns.
They who recognized its pres
ence ali the time are not disap>
pointed. They but see an old &C
quointance, and one which they
nave learned to love. They feel
safe, even in this life, in the shadow
OF it's holy protection, and when
the battle is over at last, still less
will they be disappointed in its
blessed teachings. For it will have
sent its flowers where it may not
go itself, and the Crown will be
there, but The shadow of the Gross
shall be gone forever.

EDITORS SENTINEL:
Calling to mind the interest our
many friends in your vicinity have
always evinced TOWARD DIS US, we en-
deavor to give below an idea OF how
Easter was spent at st. Joseph's
church. AS yon are aware, we are
without q pastor, but strove to
reader this important occasion as
interesting, and profitable to all, as
was possible under the circumstan'
ces.
At the usual hour our little con-
gregation assembled at the church,
which was beautifully decorated for
the occasion. The devotions began
with the singing of Hac lies, by
the children's Choir, and we would
congratulate them on the good re-
suit of their patient study and
practice. Some prayesr, appropri-
ate for the day, were next read,
when the children of the Sunday
School formed in procession, NOV
ing round the church to solemn
music. A triumphant Gloria In
Exc elsis was followed by the read
inc of the Mass pray ers, including
the Epistle and Gospel for the day.
Quite a number Of children now
came forward with well selected
and generally well delivered Easter
Rotations. Where all did as well
as could be expected from their age
md experience, we would particu
larly mention THE FERN AND THE
PALM" This beautiful poem, which
we remember having seen in re-
cent issue of the SENTINEL, was well
recited with considerable feeling,
by the two sons OF our townsman,
j. Stutzman, Esq.
Master Johnnie Chisholm read a
selection from The Morning Star. in
manner that showed considerable
ability in one so young. AS the
piece in question is quite short and
almost poetical in its beautiful die
ton, we venture to reproduce 1t
entire, as a fitting conclusion to an
article of this nature :
EASTER SUNDAY.

GLORIOUS NEWS I!
SOUTH CAROLINA FREE!
HAMPTON IN UNDISPUTED
AUTHORITY.

The removal of the Federal
troops from the State House ct
Columbia, S. c., has resulted
in the emancipation of that
gallant people and the triumph
of the cause of local self gov
eminent. In honor thereof,
we bring our big rooster to the
front that he may crow over
the downfall of tyranny, the
victory Of right over wrong
and the redemption of a once
free people from the thraldom
Of carpet-hag thieves and seal
awags. Long may he crow -
And before the echoes Of his
voice in the cause Of South
Carolina die away, may he
have cause to raise it again
over the vindication OF our
rights in our own loved Com
monwealth. Now for Louisi-
ana. Let the shackles be
stricken from her limbs and
the voice of her people, as ex-
pressed at the ballor-box, re-
spected, that the legal govern
ment, the government { Of
peace order and good will may
reign supreme and undisputed.
The following are the latest
dispatches
Especial to the N. o. Democrat.)
CHARLESTON, April l1-Mr.
Chamberlain employed himself
this morning in putting the
Executive office in order, ar
ran ging papers, etc, and pack
ing up his own personal eff
fects. At half-past eleven he
had completed this, called to-
gether the employees in the
building, bid them farewell,
and turning over the building
and its papers to his private
secretary, left the Capitol OF
South Carolina forever.
At noon precisely, Cham
berlain's secretary formally
turned over the State House
to Hampton's private secreta-
ry. Chamberlain's constabula-
ry or militia having dispersed
some time before. The build
ing was then thrown open to
the public, which crowded into
the building: from which they
have been kept for some
months, to gaze around.
Cham berlain has completely
given up the fight. 1t is I'M
derstood that he will leave a:
once for the North, to prac>
tice law, II is said.
Hampton's government is
now completely established,
and the State redeemed, and
there is great rejoicing in con-
sequence. The people will
not be coutented with this
only, but mean to build up
the material interests Of the
State and place South Carroll
ma where she was years ago.
The Legislature will meet ear
ly in May, and we depend on
it to give us practical reform,
a reduction of the government
expenses, and honesty i'll Off
cials.

walls between the whites and
blacks, an9 the latter are
among the most enthusiastic
supporters Of the Hampton
government.

LONDON, Aug. 1S.-M. Gambetta some days
ago made great political speech at Lille the pubIlca-
ton Of which has been hitherto prevented by fear
Of censorship. Extracts are now published In
The Times. NJ. Gambetta expressed great confidence
as TO the result Of the elections, and spoke
with his usual bitterness against tue Bonaparists whom
he stigmatized as the party of INVASION He said the
charge OF laten Radlcaism which brought forward
as an excuse for dssovng the Chamber is an ambiguity
and fasehoOd" This accusation of Radicallsm is what
President MacMahon has specially dwe upon in ali his
recent speeches during his tour.
Relative TO the assertion Of reactionary papers that
President MaoMhon will not be obliged to submit to the
will Of the Nation expressed by the coming elections,
NJ Gambea said: " IL IL In vain that such things
said or rather allowed TO be said in the hope that they
will cheer the falling hearts OF the Governments

LONDON, Saturday, Aug. Is, $50
A telegram from Bucharest says it is reported
there that Prince Hassan in the Dobrudja is mare
ing rapidly with his Egyptian troops with the
object of cutting off the communications OF
the Russians with Bessarabia. simultaneously
II il announced that eight Turkish steamers nave
received orders to disembark force north OF the
Danube mouths with the same object
Rumors of this description have been III clrcula-
ton for some time in London.
RUSSIA MORE CoNFIDING IN ENGLAND.
A Bucharest telegram says in regard to the sum-
moning of the Russian Guard to the seat of war that
the Guard was long retained near ST. Petersburg on
account of probable action on the part OF England
Its removal therefore is reassuring, as it gives
emphasis TO the promise that English interests Will
not be threatened.
BAD ROADS IN BULGARIA.
The Times's Sistova dispatch says: rain of less
than twelve hours duration has rendered the roads
at this place over which the Russian supplies are
Transported, a sea of mud, with gaping holes Of un-
known depth at frequent intervals
This forcibly illustrates the impossibllity of the
Russian campaign i'll Turkey after the rainy season
has begun. 1t will be very difficult even to main
tain their armies between the Balkans ana the Dan
ube, when the Summer weather breaks up.
All other accounts concur with the above.
LONG WAR EXPEcIED.
The military correspondent of ihe lines at Bucha-
rest says every detail of preparations shows that the
Russians have made up their minds for long war;
and are preparing great depOts of tirewood. The
Roumanian Government is also asking tenders for
supply Of great quantities of clothing and stores.
