TRINITY sUNDAY-A LEGENB.

Yesterday was Trinity Sunday, which the
church celebrates by solemn prayers and a
special service in honor Of the blessed Trinity
of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
The doctrine of the Trinity declares that the
three persons of the Trinity are lone and
the same true, eternal God, the same in sub
stance, equal in power and glory, although
distinguished by their personal properties. y
This doctrine is mysterious and incompre-
hensible to our limited human intelligence.
The faithful must believe in it without try
ing to fathom it's meaning.
1t is related that st. Augustine, one Of the
greatest and most learned doctors OF the
Christian religion, tried to understand and
analyze the drift of this mystery. He was
one day wandering by the sea shore, deeply
thinking about the Trinity and obstinately
trying to understand and unveil its hidden
meaning. Whilst engaged In this pursuit he
CHANGED to meet fair and angelic child, who
was STOPPING at the waters edge with small
shell in his hand, which he was filling with
sea water and emptying the shell over his
shoulder.
st. Augustine stopped and wondered at the
proceedings OF this child What are you do

WkaAF HI SAYS.
Mr.. Bulst Denies the Charge of Stealing
SchOnberg's Buggy,

He states that the three men, G. Spencer,
Thos. Shields and E. BUST against whom S.
Schonberg, of Donaldsonville, had registered
complaint of having stolen a horse and
buggy, were arrested ten miles below the
city by Officers Dobson and Square while on
their way to the city with the buggy. The
men were locked up in the Fifth Precinct
Station.
Mr.. BUST, one Of the accused, stated that he
was astonished at this move on the part of
Mr. SchOnberg, whom he knew very we'll,
having already had many business trans
actions with him. Mr.. BUST gave the follow
ing version of the affair:
i am lightning rod agent travelling in the
interest Of my trade all over the country
Last Saturday week came to Donaldsonyilie
in company with Spencer and Shields, and
repaired to Sch0nberg's place, where hired
the horse and buggy for one week without
being asked any money in advance, or saying
where or how far was going.
l came down towards the city, stopping at
different places, and made slow progress on
account OF bad weather. went down as far
as Pointe-a-la- Hache, and was returning up
when arrested, about ten miles below the
city. 1t never was my intention to aDpro-
pirate the horse and buggy, because saw in
the papers of Saturday last that Schonberg
had made the complaint against me, and
could have easily escaped. / am confident
that will get clear Of the charge, as kno y
and can prove my innocence of any charge OF
stealing. All three of US will be sent up to.

Freedom of the Press In Germany.
washington Post


An American In Prussia to-day, accus-
toned to the absolute freedom with which all
public topics are discussed by the press in
this country would be surprised at the unar
nimity of the German newspapers in thei-
expressions of opinion on all questions of po-
litfcal Importance. But independent journal
ism does not suit Mr.. Bismarck, who fears
the press and has taken effectual measures to
control it. The papers are at full liberty to
talk about matters of minor Importance, but
on the broad lines which the Chancellor has
laid down as good to be followed in the inter-
ests of the Fatherland, they run abreast.
The chancellor has three semi-official
journals which give the keynote to
the whole press Of the German empire. It is
also said that in every country where there
are newspapers published in the German
tongue. the same influence is exercised. The
press bureau, originally organized at Berlin
by DR.. Ryno-Q uehl. is now conducted with
great vigOr and astuteness, and its chief has
orders to keep an eye on all the papers of the
empire; and when a journal grows fraclious,
one of two things speedily happpns-either
its staff is won over with secret aeryice
money, known as the Reptile Fund.-" or
they are fined and imprisoned until
they write cautiously. There has been

ROW ON THE Nc. Il. LEE.

Tom Davis and Allen Carter, both colored,
assaulted one John O'Neil on board Of the
steamboat Robt. E. Lee at the New Town
landing twenty miles below Vicksburg.
1t seems that O'Neil, who Was captain Of the
watch, caught negro roustabout asleep
while on duty, ana woke him up rather rough
ly. On this almost every roustabout set on
O'Neil and beat him. Tom Davis cut him
with knife, inflicting slight wound in the
left side between the seventh and eighth ribs
Carter beat O'Neil with billet of wood.
When the boat reached the city all of the
assailants jumped ON the wharf and struck a
bee line for the woods, followed by O'Neil
