 Some of the new spring woolens have can vas like surfaces covered with small detached figures in sunken cross stitches, while others have raised beuche figures, such as large ara besques, flowers, bees, etc. The figures are

During the few Sundays that intervene between the first love scene and the marriage an hours conversation, within the hearing of the lady superior, Is allowed, but not a touch is ex- changed. The empty talk, interspersed with giggling, consists of inquiries as to the we'd ding dress and the occupation and place of abode of the suitor. Should the young man refuse the first damsel presented to him he is favored with the sight of three more; but should he still appear dificile, he is dismissed. The girl also has the power of refusal

Miss Lochine, of Athens, Georgia, had been engaged for three years to nice young man, and had made preparations to be mar ried few days ago. but when the time came she refused to be married because she was ''afraid." This is a strange case. Young ladies who are afraid to be married are not very common.

 Tue Women's Silk Culture association of Philadelphia is trying to help women by en- couraging them to undertake silk culture. Its officers serve without salaries, and the association makes no profits of any kind. It gives information and advice to any who wish to undertake the rearing of silk worms, and by the liberality of 8 Philadelphia firm is able to offer yearly premiums for the best oocoons raised in the United States. The award for this year was made on the first of May. This is the third year in which these awards have been made. The first time there were twenty six contestants from four States, the second thirty three from eleven States, the third seventy-seven from twenty States. These figures seem to show that the associa- ton is successful in extending this industry which now has afoothold in more than half the States. Ten premiums were awarded. varying in amount from one hundred dollars to ten dollars, all but one of them to women. The test is the quality and quantity of reeled silk yielded by one hundred coooons.
 The Popes recent attack upon Freemason- ry is thus spoken of by Richard Vaux, of Philadelphia, who is 8 Past Grand Master, and one of the most prominent Masons in the United States: It all grows out of a misap- prehension I am satisfied the Pope is mis- informed as to the nature of Masonry in this country and Great Britain. We have noth- ing whatever to do with either politics or religion. Jews, Gentilss, heathens and Hot tentots can belong. We are bound to sup- port the civil law under which we live, but there is nothing to alienate any member from his religious creed or the church authority. The Pope has no doubt got his ideas from things that have been told him about the Csrbonari and other secret societies of Europe that are sometimes improperly spoken of es Masonic. They are nearly all political We do not even recognize any of the Grand Orients of Europe. though they claim to be like us. Few people know that the opposi- ton to Masonry in Rome came near being withdrawn once. When Plus TX. was in the height of his power Joseph R. Chandler. of Philadelphia, was sent by Buchanan to rep resent this country at the Vatican. He was ! Past Grand Master. In Rome he became Catholic. An interview was ar :anged to take place between him and the Pope, in which he certainly would have con- 7inced his Holiness that he did not antagon- l ze the Church, but at the last moment | italian influences interfered and prevented | he interview from taking place.

Perry, who declared to George that tbev
must settle their difference by a fight then

be whipped OF killed. George stood with a
revolver in his hand while Perry dis
mounted, and before the latter had released
his horses bride and while he was some
fifteen feet away, George raised his weapon
and fired the fatal shot, the ball striking
Perry on the breast about two inches to

INDIAN REMAINS AND RELICS. - While
blowing in Eeld ca the Evan Hall plan
.tation of Messrs. Mccall Bros, in this par
ish on the 10th of June, Mr. Louis G. Duhon
discovered three skeletons, evidently the re-
mains of Indians, two being in one spot and
the third about eight feet away, and lying
alongside the bones were number of ar
ticles similar to those found on the CLARK
plantation when the grade of the Miss;s
sippi Valley railroad was being thrown up.
These articles comprised several iron pots.
clay pipes, flint lock rifles, tomahawks.
two pairs of ear rings, one silver, the other
gold, and number Of small strips of white
metal-apparently tin7about 81 inches
.n:length, an inch wide and one-eighth of
an inch in thickness, with small holes in
each corner. The earrings are of attractive
pattern, oval-shaped, the main bars being
IN the form of crescent, with a delicate
chain suspended from each one, and the
gold pair would prove welcome addition
TO any iady's toilet. It is known that the
indians once had camp on the Evan Hall
place, and the spot where the skeletons
were discovered vas evidently used as n
burning ground.

nominee, and Hon. Thomas A. Hendriek:
of Indiana was then unanimously nomina
ted for Vice President. Mr.. Tilden hav
ing reiterated his positive refusal to be

in nomination. The Massachusetts dele
cation was favorable to Gen. Ben. Butler
but it was evident that there was no possibil-
! ity Of his success, and at his own request his

The platform adopted consists largely OF
an attack upon the declaration of princi-
pies enunciated by the Republican conven-
| ton and 4 plea for a change of adnainistra-
ton which shall place the control of the
| government in the hands Of the Democrat
ic party. The revolt of certain independ-
ent Republicans against their party plat
form and candidates is noticed-approving
| ly, OF course; the abolition Of internal rev.
enue taxes demanded, and declarations
made in favor of honest money, civil SER
vice reform, reservation Of public lands
as homesteads for actual settlers, protec-
ton of American citizens at home and
abroad, improvement of the Mississippi
river by the Federal government, restora-
ton Of our merchant marine, prohibiting
the importation of servile labor and par
ticularly Of Mongoiians, and befriending
the laboring population by reducing taxes
instead of increasing them. Ex-Goy. Til

The Catholic Church at Baton Rouge has
been sold by the Sheriff and bid in for a
judgment creditor for $4,000, the amount of
his claim being 81, GOO. At the instance of
Father Delacroix steps have been taken for
the formation of corporation with the OBJ
ject of repurchasing the church, which is
then to become the inalienable property of
the congregation. Our attention has been
directed to what is denominated signif-
cant contrast between the complications
existing with reference to the Catholic
Church properties in Baton Rouge and Don
aldsonville. While in one case the diocesan
auth critics are encouraging the acquisition
of debt-burdened property by the congre-
CATION, in the other it is claimed they are
endeayoring to secure illegal possession and
control of valuable and lucrative lands and
improvements that belong to the Catholic
inhabitants OF the parish.
