SHAMEFUL VIOLATION OF LAW.
We are reliably informed that a
few days ago a party of men from
st. Landry camped out in theupper
portion of our parish, ostensibly on
a fishing excursion, and that with
guns and dogs, and by fire hunting
at night, they killed several deer.
We are informed that on being re
monstrated with for this wilflil and
outrageous violation of the game
law, these marauders coolly replied
that the game law was not i'll force
after the first Of Jul :, and that no
one could convict them OF its viola
tion unless the witness was within
five feet of the deer when it was
killed.
in justice to our people in the
pine woods, many of whom are iii
actual need of meat, but who re
tpect the game law too highly tic
kill a deer out of season, these vii
full violators of the law, coming
from abroad, should he prosecuted
and convicted. We commend IL
,enr next grand jury full investi
cation of this outrage.

We're speaking of the Importance OF

salidly for their candidate. Wa

about the work Of the spirit that God
never promised, and which will never be

We need only to read half the book OF
Corinthians to understand this. We see
there q church which was endowed with
the spirit OF working miracles assembling
together and converting the Lords sup
per into Bscchsnslisn Toast.
1t is only when man can be filled
with better desires that he can be ex.

and commend the subject to you. 1t
your heart is filed with love, you can
not harm anybody. A man who is sci.
fish can not love his wife. He nay seek
his home, but it is only for his own graf

God is love. May l not ask II there is
not motive enough enough for all to try

The Wandering Obelisk.

The unfortunate monument of the
Pharoahs, or rather the wooden dummy
which is at present its alter ego, seems
destined to be followed by the furies
and driven restless from place to place.
No sooner is the dummy taken down
from its late position in Parliament
square and re-erected on the newly pro-
posed site on the Thames, than the
papers become full of letters from its ad.
mirers, who have now discovered the
roof of the Charing Cross station, not a
beautiful object in itself, will effectually
hide the obelisk on the west side, ard
that from the north the view of it will
be made ludicrous by the tall and hid
eous shot tower which rises into the air
from the other eide of the river. 1t is
even suggested that Tom, Dick and
AIRY, out Sightseeing on Saturday af-
ternoon, will certainly make odious com.
PARSONS between the great brick tower
and the grand monolith of the Pha-
roah's, and will, with equal certainty,
prefer the tower. So it is now proposed
to move the model still further down the
river, as far as Greenwich hospital, in
the outlying southeastern district of the
metropolis, where it will be out Of sight
of the I.ondoners altogether. Mean.
while the great stone itself lies calmly in
its nautical cradle in the river, and is
visited by hundreds of people, who tes-
tify to their admiration of it by Jump
ing down on it with hOb-nailed boots,
and doing their best to obliterate the
time-worn hieroglyphs which tells its
wonderful story.-London Corr. ". y

A Touching Letter.


Every one knows the story of the little
girl who, wishing to ask something OF
heaven, wrote letter to God, which she
put in the hands of the Virgins statue
in the parish church. A circumstance
nearly analogous has Just taken place
near Marchinnes, in Belgium. A girl
named Blanche was in the service Of NJ.
and Madame c., who We're much at
tached to her on account of her fidelity
and piety. Some days ago Madame c.
fell ill and died very suddenly. The
day after her death, Blanche, profitting,
for moment when the corpse, all ready
for the grave, was alone, made her way to
the chamber Of death, lifted the shroud,
and then retired precipitately. Those
who saw her suspected that she might
have been trying to pilfer the jewelry OF
the corpse. Search was made and moth
ing was found missing, but there was q
letter in the dead womsn's hand. This
being opened, was discovered to be let
ter from Blanche to her mother, dead a
long time before. 1t was as follows
My Dear and Good Mother: This is
to let you know that Mr.. r. has asked me
to marry him; as you are no longer here,
! beg you will let me know, in dream,
