fri
December %, AID. 1877. A dismal,
disheartening, day-long drizzle, soaking
into the very soulsaof men; air mufky
with earth-born vapors and loaded with
the sulphurous stencil Of burning gun
powder; street-crossings ankle-deep in
muck; women holding draggled train
in the left hand and the handle of an
umbrella in the right, while their inter
fering heels carried the mud far up
their red stockings and splashed it over
the bit of white skirt revealedi sfive
| hundred callow youths in helmet hats,
who preferred caroms to carols, punch
ing ivory in steamy billiard-rooms;
thousands of excited children beating
drums, footing horns, exploding stink
making contfivances, and adding n.eE-
I cry way to the general din; sweet peals
of church organs mingling with human
voices; the breaking loose of the long
pent-up agony of Christ Church chimes,
with their ear-splitting and nerve-rack-
ing jangle; fuddled men. in stuffy gin
mills poisoning themselves with alcohol
because Christmas born, eighteen hun
bred years ago, while their, hollow
eyed wives crooned to sick babies in
squalid homes; candy -smeared infants
bowling with the collie; and so on for
quantity This was Christmas. For
this Christ was born, in. manger, be
meath the stars of Judea, while the start
led beasts dropped their. long ears in
awe-stricken wonder and the wise men
from the East came with mylrh and
spices. For this he was crucified be
tween two thieves. A Christian festival
converted into a pandemonium of noise
which puts to shame the beaten tom
toms and gongs of the pig-tailed celes-
tials-a day Of excess in eating and
drinking day to be dreaded, instead
of looked forward to. - Christmas
comes but once year." Thank heay
en- for that! How did this Internal din
ever come to- be Incorporated into {
Christian festival, anyhow? Is gun
powder in any way emblematic OF hin
who brought ssGlad tidings of great 10,
peace on earth and good will to men
! of Christ, the gentle, the patient, thu
long suffering? Is the abominable fire
cracker means of grace. We put thes'
questions as conundrums. Doubt
less our % readers 'e will % Civ
them up at the start. Blu
it does seem to us that the Christina
festival has been perverted in wa:
that amounts to sbarbarism. If a maj
! feels glad that Christ was born and die
to take away the sins Of the world, doe
he honor him by swillings beer in a sa
loon? Is it meet that his nine-year- oil
should express hts thankfulness TO
Christ by exploding ire-crackers in th
faces of pedestrians?, How many mel
who make Christmas day of riotou
excess ever think of Christ? The .da,

REV. FATHER BERTUET,

If ever a priest deserved the
love aud respect Of a commu>
nifty: the Reverend gentleman
whose name heads these lines
does.
If votion, kindness, chari-
ty and all the attributes that
go to make q good Christian
ever were embodied il, one be-
ing, they, are certainly, to be
found in good Farther Bertnet
And no community can better
attest what we say than the
citizens Of False River.
For several weeks that re-
gion has been suffering from
a fever most malignant in its
character-rusthlessly cutting
down a great number and it
was then that Farter Berthet's
sterling qualities shone forth
in bold relief:
Utterly res ardless Of his
own health and comfort, he
was everywhere !; at the bed
side, giving consolation as he
only could give it ; or, per%
forming the last sad funeral
rites when the grave opened
its merciless, yawning jaws to
swallow up it's victim ! The
good people of False River
speak in the highest praise of
Farther Berthet, and bless his
name. -Poiute Coupee Pelican.

HORRIBLE DEATH FROM HYDRO
PHOBIA.

The Marshall (Tex } HERALD
OF the 10Th contains the fol
lowing variations of the fury
Of a rabid horse
Gen. W. P. Lane, deputy
United States marshal, on
Monday me, with a very for
tunate escape from probably
a horrible death. He hired n
horse at a livery stable in
Terrell to ride twelve miles in
the country. but on the edge
OF iowa met a man that ena-
bled him to dispense with the
animal, and he sent him back.
Az hour after the horse was
put in the stable he exhibi-
ted the most violent parox-
ysms Of hydrophobia. He
broke his halter and attacked
four or five horses, one after
the other. biting great pie ces
out of tEcm. He then bit
pieces out OF hiluSclf, and the
flesh from The cups of his
knees, and knocked his head
against the floor. 1t took four
or five men TO halter aud tie
him to keep him from dong
further damage. He had been
bitten about twenty days be
fore ay a rabid dog.

REGISTRATION.

The registration Office has been
closed at the Court House and
transferred to the 4 h ward for ten
days past or more. Many enquiries
have been made Of u a. to the mos
lives which induced this action up
on the part Of the Registrar. as
we'll as to the question Of the legal.
ty OF his action ia the premises.
AS to the latter, there can be no
doubt that Mr.. Stewart has placed
himself entirely outside the law.
An examination Of the reg istration
and election laws shows ,hat the
Registrars in the several parishes
are required to give notice. in the
official journal of the parish, 70
days previous to the election, of the
places and time at which he will
hold his Office open. This Mr..
Stewart complied with, publishing
his notice on The % August. This
uotice set forth that he would close
at Mrs. Baines' on the 10Th Sep
TENDER, and remain at the Court
House during the remainder of The
go days preceding the election.
On the 2lst September he amends
his notice to the effect that he will
remain at Laurel Hill from Sept.
2lst to Oct. 18th and the balance
Of the 60 days at the Court House.
1t is clear to any mind that this
last notice does not give the 70
days time required by law, and ia
in reality without legal effect. A
number Of persons have been scri-
ousiy inconvenienccd by this action
Of The Registrar. We trust he will
see it in the light in which we view
it, and open his Office again at Tho
Court House where it belongs. The
people certainly should not be made
to suffer from any inability Of the
Registrar TO perform his duty.

DUNCAN VS. ARMSTEAD.

the committee if they had any reliable
information from either Nachitochcs or
West Fcliciana, or any information other
than the published statement.
Mr.. Harris stated that these dispatches
indicated that Blunt and Breda had been
banished from Nachitoches, where both
certainly had 9 right to live, and that
this is clear violation of law.
The Governor considered this an as
sumption but assuming it to be true,
the same information was to the effect
that Blunt and Breda were endeavoring
to create a disturbance. The abstract
right of every man to meet 'and express
his political opinions was admitted ; but
for all practical purposes was 1t judicious
to pick out this day of all others, when
the Democratic convention was in scs-
sion, tor a Republican, gathering The
course and convictions expressed at his
Inauguration were known to all. His
determination had not changed in any
particular, and an attempt to prevent
by violence the conduct of a canvass by
any party would he prevented if the exc

would, however, call the attention OF the
committee to one fact-that the power
of the executive is limited. He has
general supervising authority, but other
off GERS of the State have duties, and
with them rested the preservation of the
peace and the trial aud punishment of
violations Of law.
The greatest difficulty the executive
had to encounter, was the general indis-
position to furnish the names of witnesses
to violation of law. The facts in out
RACES said to he perpetrated shoald be-
laid before the grand jury and the guilty
parties punished. Men during periods of
excitement would commit unlawful acts,
and it is the duty oflaw officers to pun
ish them but in practice, when men
found themselves obnoNious to a commu-
nifty, he thought it wise for them to leave
it.
The Governor stated that the quaran-
tine debarred Kim from communication
with the interior from going there in per
son. In consequence he could not even
visit his own family. The matter COM
planned of would be investigated, and fur
Their matter of complaint, if accompan-
led by the names of witnesses, would be
prosecuted. He did not propose to permit
an Infringement of the political rights OF
any one, but declined to issue Il procla-
nation upon the mere assumption that
an outrage had been committed.
During tho conversation Collector
Smith stated that he was of opinion that
both Blunt and Brc,l;t lad been killed,
and lie judged so from the threats made
by the NatchitOches Tiudicuf0r.
The governor answered that he did
not approve of the doctrines advocated
by the TiHdicutor, but did not concur in
this view.
The sub committee retired to the head
quarters of the central committee, which
adjourned without taking any action.

SOME WONDERFUL FACTS.

Supposing your age to be fifteen
years, or reabouts. you can be
figured up to a dot. You have 100
bones and 500 muscles ; your heart
is nearly five inches in length. and
three inches in diameter it beats
seventy times per minute, 1900
times per hour, 100000 times per
day and 30,722,0O0 times per year.
At each beat a little over two
ounces of blood is thrown out of it
and each day it receives and dis
charges about seven tons of that
wonderful fluid. Your lungs will
contain gallon Of air and you III
hale 1900 gallons per day. The
aggregate surface Of the air. cells of
your lungs, srpposing them to
spread out exceeds 10000 sou
inches. The wei hit OF your br ms
is three pounds, when you are
man it weighs about three ounces
more. Your skin is composed OF
three layers and varies from one
eight to one. fourth of an inch in
thickness. The area Of your skin
is about 100 square inches and you
are subjected 10 an atmospheric
pressure Of fifteen pounds to the
"a are inch. Each square inch OF
yonr skin contains 500 sweating
tubes or perspiration pores, each oil
which may be l;kcned to a little
d! aiming tile one.fourth Of an inch
