ST. FRUcrUosUs, MARTYR.

st. Fructuosus was Bishop of Tarragona
in the reign of Valerisu and Gallienu us
Little is known of his episcopal life. But
we are told that he was revered as a great
example of the virtues which St. Paul re-
quires in a bishop, and that he won the
love of heathens as we'll as Christians. He
was summoned for the name of Christ be-
fore the president, and when he heard the
soldiers at the door he rose calmly, with
the words: "Arise, let US Co." and entered
his prison accompanied by two deacons.
He spent his time there in continual prayer.
The Christians of his flock visited him in
prison, and begged his intercession.
.After"tive days, when brought before the
president, he declared that he worshipped
one God, and would worship no other. His
deacons showed the same constsncy, and
all three were condemned to be burned
alive. On his way be was offered cup of
wine, which he refused, because it was
Friday, day on which the Catholics, &C.
cordipg to the custom of that time, did not
eat or drink before three O'Clock. At the
place of his martyrdom he prayed for the
whole Catholic Church, consoled his spir-
itual children, and then was bound to the
stake. When the fire loosed his bond he
knelt in prayer, with his arms extended
like a cross; and in this, his customary
attitude of prayer, he breathed forth his
soul.
Ffayer mace fluctuoses stroDS snu
tranquil in martyrdom. Leave me, my
son." he said to one of his clergy, who came
wishing to take off the Bishops shoes at
the stake. 81 will do that office for myself,
strong and rejoicing, and assured of our
Lords promise.n Fructuosus began Friday
with the fast AID prayer of the Church
Militant, and finished it in the joy of the
Church Triumphant. For two Christians
beheld the heavens opened, and saw Fruc-
tuosus and his deacons enter there with
crowns upon their heads.

CHANGE OF PASTORS AT PLAQUEMINE,
LA change of pastors of st. Johns
church has taken place during the past
week. Rev. c. V. d'Hemecourt, who
has for ten years officiated here, took his
departure on Tuesday last for other fields
of labor. Few priests could be more loved
by his congregation than was Father
d'Hemecourt. Aud when, on Sunday last,
he delivered his valedictory sermon, there
were very few in st. Johns Church who
did not shed tears of sorrow and regret that
they had to separate from beloved pastor
and friend.
Wherever he may go in life he certainly
will have the prayers of the congregation
of st. Johns Church to aid him.
The new priest of st. Johns, Rev. NJ. R.
Harnais, arrived here on Wednesday even
ing last. He has been stationed come eight
or nine years at Franklin, St. Mary's parish,
La. He comes highly recommended and We
sincerely hope that his ministration will
prove satisfactory to the congregation of st.
Johns Church.-Iberrille South. Feb. ,.

The LONDON Dust MAS.-There are
more than 800. 900 inhabited -houses in
London, consuming more than 3 500, 600
tons of coal year, and besides the ashes
from this great quantity of fael, the dust
man gathers the other refuse of the houses
he is employed By contractor, Who agrees
with the corporation TO remove the ashes,
ETC., out OF the city, and the contractor
trSToes every load into SIX parts as follows:
Soil, Or tiae dust, which is sold 20 brick
Lakera for making bricks, aud to farmers
for manure; brieze, or cinders, sold to
BRICK m akers for burning brick; rags,
bones, and old metals, sold to marine store
dealers; old tin and iron vessels, sold to
trunk-mskers for clamps; bricks, oyster
and other SHELLS, sold for foundations and
road building; old boots aud shoes, sold to
the man nufacturers of Prussian blue. Some.
times much more valuable things than
these are found, and the reader may re-
member the romance that Charles Dickens
made out of London dust man Our Mutu
of the load that the men, women, and chill
dren are employed; they are as busy as
ants I; mere babies and wrinkled old danes
take part in the labor, and all of them
are 80 covered with dust and ashes that
they are anything but pleasant to centem
plate, though, as a rule they are useful,
honest and industrious mem bers of society.
"Dustien is what the Londoners famiiiariy
call the dust man, and only a few know in
what ignorance and poverty he lives. One
would think that he would work himself
into a better occupation, but his family
have been dust men for generations, and
the generations after him are not likely to
change.-St. Nicholas.

ST. ILDEPHONsCs, BISHOP.

st. Ndephonsus, Archbishop OF Toledo,
had been in youth a disciple of st. Isidore
of Seville. Forsaking for the love OF
Christ the worldly honors of his noble
birth, he became Benedictire monk, in a
monastery near Toledo, of which, in course
of time, he was chosen abbot. In ESQ he
was made Arch bishop of Toledo. He had
always been most devoted to the Mother OF
God, and when some heretcs in Spain re-
vived the heresy of Helvidius, and denied
the perpetual virginity OF our Blessed
Lady. st. llcephonsus wrote q treatise
against them, in which he displayed the
greatest zeal tor the glory of the Virgin
Mother of Christ. By this work, and by
frequent exhortstions to his flock, he eff
fectually checked the hereey. One morn
ing after this, ss the Jealous Archbishop
was entering his cathedral for Maths on the
Feast of the Annunciation, our B. Lady
appeared to him seated on her throne,
holding in her hands his book against the
heretics, and surrounded 5y the choirs of
virgins. She thanked him for all he had
done IN defence of her honor, and, in token
of her gratitude gave him a chasuble for
Mass st. 1ldephonsus died on January
23d. 6G9. Spain has chosen him as one OF
its principle Patrons and his example and
writings have done NJ uch to foster the ma
tional devotion to the Virgin Mother Of
God.
As st. llde! !phonsus was ance celebrating
Mass in his cathedral, st. Leoca3ia, Eir-
gin Martyr Of Toledo, appeared 10 him and
made known 10 him the resting place OF
her relics, for which he had long searched.
She then, in the hearing of the kiRg and all
the people. praised bis zeal for the honor of
Mary, saying: 80 Ildelphonsus, through
thee doth live our Lady Queen, who holds
the heights of Heaven"

IN two perfect Uatu7es after His iecarua-
tinn- drew r-rTcs afti THE
bad elements which 81 early gathered about
the Byzantine co1gt. HIS IL l.riguea were
long battfed by the vigilance of Fiaylar :
oat at last he obtained from the Emperor
tue assembly of Council at Ephesas, ia
August, 4i9 presided over by his friend
D!oscorus, Patriarch OF Alexandria. In
this ..robber CourciI,' ss it is called
Eutyctes entered surrounded by soldiers.
The Ronau Legates could not even read
the Pope's letters and az the drss sign Of
resistance to the condemnation of F Fiaviaa
fresh troops entered with drawn sxoeds,
and IN spite of the protests of the Legstes,
terrified most OF the B shops into acc uies-
cence Fiavian had scarcely time to sp-
peal to Rome, when he was set upon by
Dioscorus and others, thrown down, beaten,
kicked, AID finally carried into Danish
ment, where he died in few days of his
injuries.
The fairy of Doscorus reached it's height
when Fiavisn appealed to the Holy See.
Then il was that be SO forgot his apostolic
office "a 70 lay violent hands on his adver
sary. Let us contrast their ends. Flavian
clung to the teaching of the Roman Pontiff
and sealed his faith with his blood. Dos
coros accommodated the Vicar of Christ,
and died obstinate and impeniteot in the
heresy of EQtyches.

To a spectator looking down from one of
the galleries of the Hall of Representa-
tives the lower house in session appears
like big disorder'y school. The members
are seated at desks which resemble the Or
dinary school-room furniture Of the coun-
try. Some are studying, some writing, some
reading newspapers and some chatting,
while the Speaker raps for order and an
eager orator appeals with hoarse,
cracked voice to the attention Of his asso-
ciates. A loud hum, made mp of many
discordant noises, fills the chamber, af-
fecting the hearing like the buzz of Broad
way at midday. OF late there has been
added to the elements of disorder within
the House of Representatives an influx of
strangers, who fill the space behind the
desks and hurry about the floor of the
House on various errands, intermingling
schemes of private advantage or pleasure
with the transaction of the public business,
and recently the Speaker was directed to
enforce the rule excluding ell such persons
from the floor and the passages about the
Representative chamber.

Says Col. w. Avery in the Detroit
Free Press: "Perhaps the most salient
trait of General Gordon, of Georgia, is his
domestic tenderness. All his Intoxicating
successes and the wholesale adulation he
has received have left him the same simple
hearted, affectionate, unpretentious gen
tleman and the most devoted lover of his
wife that the history of marriage can show
trial. In all of the vicissitudes of his
eventful military career his wife accompa-
MED him, staying with him in camp, hover
ing near him on the march and in battle to
minister to his needs and to receive and
nurse him wounded. And o-day che thus
attends him, and he repays her devotion
with an absorbing tenderness, an imPae..,
stoned ain uRleness and fervor of attachment"
