TIE LEGIsLATCRE.-Last Monday the Leg
islature met in the State House and completed
its organization without trouble excite
ment. John C. Moncure was elected Speaker
of the House C. b. Psgues of Red River,
chief clerk, and Thomas MoIntyre, of this city,
sergeant alarms. The Senate elected John
Clegg chief clerk, and Thos. II. FArris, SER
geant at arms.
On the 9Th. the Governors message, very
able document, was read in both houses. His
Exceliency touches on all subjects connected
with the welfare of the State, denouncss yto
lations Of law which have taken place In GER
tain sections, dieousses the present depiorable
financial condition Ct tho State, and pro-
| nounoes in favor OF calling Constitntonal
Convention.
His recommendation with reference to the
calling of Convention will, beyond all doubt,
be adopted by the Legislature, bills for that
purpose having already been introduced in
| both Houses. They are identical and provide
for the election by each parish and ward of as
many delegates to the Convention as it has
| representatives in the House, leaving thirty-six
| to be elected by the State st large. This would
| make the Convention consist of one hundred
and thirty four members. $40 900 is appropri-
ated to meet the expRnses, the delegates to re-
oeive 81 . day; and the State House in this
city is designated as the place for the Conven-
tion to meet on the 21st of April. From the
votes taken on proportions to suspend the
rules it is evident that the bill will pass by an
over whelming majority.
The following joint resolution has been
adopted unanimously:
| Whereas, during many months of the past
year epidemic pestience of the most viru-
| lent character prevailed at the capital and
throughout a large portion of the State of
Louisiana, carrying sorrow, distress and death
| into Thousands of homes, and
Whereas, in the days of our mourning and
| sore trouble, msgusnimous strangers in all
sections of the Uuited States aud in many
foreign lands, voluntarily came to the relief of
| our afflicted people, with contributions aggre-
| eating 81 100 600 therefore be it
| Resolred by the Senate and House of Representa-
tires ofthe State Of Louisiana in General assembly
coRrened, That the earnest, heartfelt thanks of
hereby rendered to all those large hearted
philanthropists who contributed SO Spontape
ously and muni6cently to the relief of the
Louisiana sufferers by the yellow fever epi-
demc OF 1873.
Be il further re8oTred, ETC., That we, the repre-
eentatives of the People of Loufsiana, deem
it right and proper thus to acknowledge
and commend this unsurpassed philanthropy,
and to place upon our statute books this testi-
mopial of gratitude, go that, in all time
to come, those who follow us, while re-
membering the calamity that fell upon their
ancestors, may be reminded of the noble gen.
erosity of the men. women and children OF
other States of the Union, and of distant lands
who cAue to their relief in the days ef their
al iotioD.

Iu 1873 there were SO establishments of re-
iiRious men and women in Prussia. The Eeli
Sious men were chiefly Franoiscans, Capuchins,
Domincans and some Christian Brothers.
There was one Benediotine house, which had
actually been founded in the last century by q
pious member of the Hoher zollern family. The
religions establishments of women were almost
exclusively Sisters of Charity, or other nursing
congreEAtions,-or-s establishments for ed1ea-
&ion. By the law of 1875, all were to be abolish
ed by the end of 1879. An exception was made
in favor of the Sisters of Charity or similar
communities, in 30 far rs they were connected
with hospitals, and not other wise. Even they
were forbidden to receive any novioes without
permission from the Minister. Out of the SO,
only So now remain in existence. The Govern
xnent were asked to suspend the law in favor
of those So, and they refused en- the ground
that they have almost completed arrangements
for dispensing with the services Of the reliEi-
GUS, either as teachers or as nurses. Already
it was seen that the Sisters Of Charity were
doomed to extinction by the practical impossi-
biiity Of receiving permission to have noyices.

The First Cross Planted on Anglican Altar
eInce the Reformation.

About fifty six years ago, in one of England's s
loveliest country sests, Clarendon Park, Coun-
ty Leicester, q young boy-a mere child of
thirteen-might have been seen vending his
way from his own ancestral grounds to the
nelghboring village of Shepshed. He was q
college youth, home for brief holiday; but 40
thought of fuu or frolio occupied his thoughts
that day. With sweet gravity, singular in
one 30 young, he hastened on TO join rural
procession being formed in the ohurohyard
under the direction of the Anglican Vicar of
that village. As the ooucourse of people form
cd into line, the boy took his place ct its head
bearing in his arms . large wooden cross. This
WAS somewhat unusual spectacle for worship
ers in the Established Church of England-but
the young GROSS bearer, with head erect and
glowing cheek, walked bravely on with the
uufamiliar emblem in his arms, until. within
the village church, he saw it placed, with much
ceremony, upon an altar that had evidently
been hastily prepared to receive it.
That Cross was the frst one ever planted
upon on Anglican altar since the days of the
Reformation--and its being there was not the
work of the Anglioan Vicar of Shepshed,
but of the boS-the ohild-who had headed
the procession and had borne 1t to it's destined

The causes to which the success of resumption

my mind, seems entirely 3D. ID oient. 1t is that

| We deem it high privilege to have been

labor and the virtues of this ilustrious lay

tion for his separated brethren, in its pure and
holy Influences and in it's simple, childlike
trust in God
We wish We had space to describe the fnal
soene-the hetoio close If this noble life; but
the piotnre is too beautiful to be msrred by
hasty tonohes on our psrt.
We cannot, however, resist the desire of
giving to our readers the last glimpse of this
heroic Catholic whom we frss saw q mere
boy carrying to an Anglican altar the very
frst cross which, for three hundred yeats, had
ever peen planted there. Two hours before
his death, he asked the attendant priest to pro-
pounoe loudly and distinctly the prayers for
the dying, in order that he might follow them
in his mind and when the sad commendation
was over, he exclamed in earnest rapture
"How beautiful! !" No wonder Father Tondini
records the assurance "that q man must be
very near to God who in his very agony bursts
out in such cry!"
And as we lay aside our pen, which has not
touched upon one-hslf Of his many good
works, which scarce commenced to enumerate
his many writings, nor even named the
churches, schools, asylums, reformstories
founded by his charity, we also must exolaim
How beautiful is this life Of q simple lsymsn
in the Church, but who within his proper
sphere won 80 many souls to God, and with q
noble ai m before him, fo flowed it with knight
ly courage and heroic pride to the last moment
OF his life!
His influence upon the Oxford movement
and his earnest aspirations after the unity Of
Christendom will, of course, preserve his name
upon the annals of Catholiaity bnt as an ex-
ample of boyish zeal and manly courage in the
cause Of conscience, of talents used for God
and wealth devoted to His service, of unselfish
alma and unbounded charity, of all the virtues
which mark the true patriot and Christian,
Ambrose DeLisle will also live in humble
hearts, while thoughtful minds will ever see
in him the wondrons link between the ages of |
Faith belonging to the past and those which |
wait upon England's glorious future.
