|
and most increasing solicitude on
the subject of the approaching
Worlds Exposition, more especial
ly as regards the connection of our
own Parish Herewith. There is
one fact alone, were there no other,
that should stimulate our pride in
this matter. 1t is simply that the
great commercial capital of the
State, our own New Orleans, hav-
ing been selected as the most ap-
propriate locality for the display Of
the varied wonders of all climes
that will be there exhibited. We
look on it as the most fortunate
event that could possibly have oc-
cured to our people after the long
dark night of bondage, political
and otherwise, to which we have
been subjected. The approaching
Exposition is looked to as the pro-
missed silver lining to the cloud
If properly appreciated and partic-
ipated in by our people, it is des-
tined to open new and prolific
fields to wealth, prosperity and adj
vancement to our section. Hence
all should not only take pride in it
but by direct participation contrib
ute all in their power towards max
ing it perfect State as we'll as
National triumph. There is no way
in which this can be SO efectually
done as by active cooperation with
the general organization by each
Parish in the State. Indeed, with
out such cooperation the grand af-
fair promising such 81 rious results
to all others must to us be a lamen-
table, we had we'll nigh said a dis
graceful failure. Hence any prin-
ciple, both of State and parochial
pride, apart from our self interest
therein, should stimulate us to the
greatest, the most earnest exertion
to make such display of our great
natural resources of our soil and
climate as will most likely attract
both capital and labor to settle
amongst US. These two at present
are the great desideratuns, they are
the one thing needful. Nature has
been most bonntiful in her gifts, it
needs but will and energy to devel-
op their richness. We have strug-
gled too long in the slough of des-
pondency-now the golden promise
seems almost in our grasp. Shall
we fold our arms and let it 60 by,
alas ! never to return7
These reflections are produced
by reason of what we consider the
too great indifference manifested by
q majority of our citizens on this
all-important subject. There are a
few most worthy exceptions there
to-a few who seem alive to the
great Importance of the subject, i. e.
of Rapides making such a contri-
button and display of the produc-
tons at the great Exposition as will
reflect the greatest credit on our
Parish, and thus be the direct
means of comforting lasting bless
ings thereon. Notable for active
and intelligent exertion both by
pen and tongue we may point to
our worthy Parish Commissioner,
Hon. G.. w. Bolton. We must say
were there more followers to his
lead the happiest results might rea-
sonably be anticipated. We need
however, not so much takers and
writers, but workers, such as he

The undersigned committee APP

leave to report as follows, wiz
Whereas, 1t has pleased our
Great Grand Master, the Divine
Architect of Nature and all its glo-
rious works, in His supreme wis
dom, to transfer from his earthly
labor to spiritual refreshment, our
most worthy Brother, L. +. Tex
ADA, therefore we, in protoundest
grief, reverently and humbly bow
in submission to the Divine decree
of "Him who doeth all things
right" The suddenness of the
summons to our deceased Brother
should be to us an impressive re-
minder that Gin the midst of life we
are in DEATH" The most enduring
monument to his name and fame
will be the memory Of the purity of
his life, form both his public and
private walk he was ever an exem-
plification of probity and honor,
and his good deeds will follow him.
They have been graphically por-
trayed by able pens and loving
hearts 1T is our peculiar privilege
to speak of him as a Mason, for long
and most devoted has been his at
tachment to the Order. AS one Of
the oldest and most worthy men,
bers of Oliver Lodge No. 81 of T.
& A. Masons, we are now calledon
officially to mourn his loss, to min
gle our grief with the community at
large, but more especially with his
deeply afflicted family. AS Ma
son Brother TExADA ever exem-
plifed his faith by his works, for
love and charity were the guiding
stars Of his action through life. AS
reward for bright and conscien-
tious devotion to Masonic duty he
had been called to fill various and
highly responsible positions in the
fraternity, from all Of which he
emerged with increased lustre.--
Possessing in the highest degree
the esteem, love and confidence Of
his Masonic brethren, they now
unite in paying this last sad but
most affectionate tribute to his men,
DRY, for on the tablets of our hearts
it is indelibly written, while the ex-
ternal emblems of mourning will
drape our Lodge and each member
thereof the deepest and most en-
dearing will exist amongst its
members. May that sacred en-
blem, the Acacia" ever continue
green above his hallowod grave, as
his Christian and Masonic virtues
will be kept fresh and green in our
hearts. Therefore be it recommend
ed that this Lodge be draped in
mourning; that the members there
Of wear the usual badge for thirty
days; also, that as further respect
towards our late Brother, these pro-
ceedings be entered on the minutes
of the Lodge, and a copy thereof

T!e .Esthetics OF Elecsr.

In ordinary lights the directions of
the flame is always upward, but electri
cal illumination is not confined by any
limits. This suggested to Mrs. Edison,
the wife of the celebrated inventor, the
use of fanciful devices as fixtures for
electric lighting. Instead of a single
jet flaring upward, the electric light
can be distributed in every direction.
Some extremely beautiful results are
thus obtained. In one exhibition is q
fower-pot overgrown with wilderness
of fo' age all done in polished brass.
The lights spring from among the
leaves like flowers from their stem.
Another device is called the UNI
brella light, in which the lamps are ar
ranged in a circle located beneath q
shining reflector. A little motor causes
the lamps to revo.ve, and the result is
two apparent whirling circlos of fame.
Another charming effect is q hanging
framework of brass, in which the lamps
are so placed that the stems form a cas-.
ket that may DO filled with artificial
plants ard flowers in their natural col
ors. The light can be made to rerme-
ate ornaments in rooms and produce
surprising effects. In the magnificent
ballroom or drawing-room of the future
there will he no tlaring jets of flame /;
the lights will De so distributed so as not
to offend the eye, but will be SO COM
bined as to heighten the effects of all

Death from Passion.

Cases in which death results from
the physical excitement consequent on
mental passion are, according to The
Lancet, not uncommon. A recent in
stance has again called attention to the
matter. Unfortunate ly, those persons
who are prone to sudden and over
whelming outbursts of i'll temper do
not, as a rule. recognize their pro-
pensity or realize the perils to which it
exposes them; while the stupid idea
that such deaths as occur in passion,
and which are directly caused by it,
ought to be ascribed to ''the visitation
of God," tends to divert attention from
the common sense lesson which such
deaths should teach. 1t is most unwise
to allow the mind to excite the brain
and body to such extent as to endanger
life itself. We do not sufficiently ap-
preciate the need and value of mental
discipline as corrective of bad habits
and preventive of disturbances by
which happiness, and life itself, are too
often jeopardized.

TRUE AND FALSE LOVE

To sigh, yet feel no pain; to weep, yet know
not why;
To sport an hour with beauty's chain, then
throw it idly by;
To bend the knee at every shrine, yet lay the
heart at none;
To think all other charms divine, but those
we have just won.
This is love-false love,
Such as kindleth hearts that rove!
To keep one sacred flame, through life un-
changed. unmoved;
To love in wintry age the same that we in
youth have loved;
To feel that we adore with such refined ex-
That though the heart might burst with
more, it could not do with less.
This is love-constant love,
Such as saints might share above

The Foreign Trade with China,
[San Francisco Chronicle.l


China's foreign trade for 1882 was
Sl60, 800, 600. of which Englands share
was $5S, ,220,0 900, or, if We add to this
the value of the trade with Hongkong,
India, the Australian and other British
colonies, the total British trade comes
to $l57 100000, quite three-fourths OF
the whole trade of China. The United
States comes next in order, with trade
of $16,614, GOO, while the whole of con.
tinental Europe, Russia excepted, is put
down for only $l5, $780, 900. Russia's
trade with China amounted to about
one-fcurth of the last mentioned sum.
As to shipping, of the 17,3SS,852 tons
which entered and cleared the various
ports in 1882 there were under the Brit
ish flag as many as 10,Sl4,799 tons,
while only 1881 were French. The
Chinese themselves had q total tonnage
of ships and junks of 1888, 1863 tons.
Thus it appears, says The Baltimore
Sun, that if France has little to gain by
war with China, the British empire has
much to lose.
