LA ST. JEAN BAPTISTE.

Written for the indianapolis journal by Benz. S.
Parker.
The fiftieth anniversary of the organization of
the Society of St John the Baptist was celebrat-
ed with great splendor, at Montreal, during the
third week of july 1884. The city made large
donations, and private citizens and business
firms gave literally for the purpose of making
the show one of the most imposing yetseen upon
the continent The principal streets
spanned by costly and beautiful arches, repre-
sentng Religion, Art, Science, Liberty, etc. and
the great parade, which occurred on the 25th of
July, passing beneath these grand arches, and
along streets that were literally shadowed by the
flags, and standards, and gaily coored streamers,
of France, England, and Canada, as we'll as
those of the various religious and semi-relgous
orders that sympathze with the principles and
purposes of La st. Jean Baptiste was a renewal
of medieval pomp and heraldry, strange
ly mingled with many striking feat
ures of both the earlier and later life
of the French speaking people in the new world.
The most interesting features of the street
parade were the number character and elegance
of the allegorica cars, designed to illustrate the
most important events in the history of New
France" These were drawn by gaily-capari-
soned steeds led by pages in middle-age cos
tunes, while in their front rode gay cavalcade
of medieval horsemen, clad In armor crowned
with visorcd helmets and bearing spears and
buckers. These surrounded stately Roi clad
in the religo mil itary garb of the crusade kings
who went to battle for the holy sepulcher, and
the whole intended to represent ST. Louis of
France as he rode with his true and loyal
knights" The allegorcal cars represented
''The Discovery of Canada" ''The Aborigines,"
Desalaberry," Industry" Jacques Cartier"
Jacques Cartiers ship, ''La Grande Hermine, I"
'Doard" and his men behind their stockade,
"Champlaine's Fortress at Quebe CO. "Malson-
euve" and his fort at ''Ville Marie" and the
'First Housein in Canada, and the whole led by
the great car of ST. Jean Baptiste, and followed
by the devoted to the honor of Ludger
Duverway, the fO..i Of the society The
former drawn by ten @.ite horses in costly har-
ness and nodding plumes. and each led by a
uniformed groom, bore the forerunuer of Christ,

front of the car, the beaver and his house and q
young maple tree the national embems of Can
ada Ludger Duvernay, to whose memory and
honor the last of the alegorical was de-
voted was editor, and of course great man.
In addition to having been the founder of the So
ciety of st. John the Baptist, he was noted among
the French Canadian people as patriot of the
highest type. He was outspoken and bold in his
criticisms of the existing government and
suffered exile with other so-called Canadian pa
triots in 1884, and came TO the United States.

NOBODYs BUSINESS BUT OURS.

Written for the indianapolis Journal by Mary Estele
Cardwill
Mr.. Cables latest novel, "Dr SEWER" has for
its hero man who had married contrary to and
IN defiance of the wishes of his father The
marriage led to the hero's disinheritance, caused
his mothers untimely death, brought unspeak-
able suffering upon himself and his wife, and
presumably, great sorrow to his own near rela-
6ves. Yet when he-was about to die, leaving a
helpless wife and child to be cared for by
strangers he says concerning his court
ship and marriage, "She encouraged my
business but ours" This idea and its
praetical results are preserved from being most
commonplace here, by the heros unusual pride,
md by the pathetic beauty of the story. For in
spite Of perhaps because of, all the miseries
which it relates it pictures an ideally romantic
marriage. But, unfortunately for the probable
influence of the story the ideal is false one,
and the miseries following romantic marriages
are seldom clothed in the glamour of poetry
''Nobodys business but ours" is simply the
sentiment which leads daily to vulgar elope-
ments, to marriages of girls to drunkards or fast
young mon; of ladies to coachmen and gentle
men to cooks. 1t is, in short, the sentiment
which, being looked upon as legitimate in the
one matter of marriage, makes the most justi-
fable opposition of friends so often of little or
no avail.
The truth about these so-called romantic mar
rages, a truth which all young people should be
made to realize is that they usually end unhappi-
y, and this result is so far from being unnatural,
that it is just what a thoughtful person reasona-
bly, expects; reasonably, because family and so
Olal laws cannot be violated with impunity.
Parents or other friends seldom oppose mar
riage without having some motive which is, at
least worthy to be regarded, and if wrong, to be
overcome. 1t is unquestionably a great risk to
take any and especially the most important
step in life, in defiance of ones dearest friends.
The first and almost inevitable consequence of
marriage OF this kind is a decrease of mutual
respect in the newly made husband and wife
Instead Of vsluing each other more highly, for

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. 1884.

| WASHINGTON, Jan. Il. 1907
Members and Senators and Others
in official life complain that tho hours
at evening receptions are growing
lator and later. II tho hour Of $
o'clock is on the card Of invitation,
guests put in nm appearance Mt 9;2O,
and if that hour is fixed, they go at
10 o'clock. In this respect, Wash
ington affects the foreign custom Of
very late hours in the matter Of even
ing parties. But there are 80 few
men and women Of leisure in, society
here that it plays sad havoc with
business. The only way is to make
tho hours of work late also. AS
ii is now, tho President is supposed
to be in his Office by 10 o. m. and tho
Cabinet officers are at their, desks
almost rs soon as the clerks of the de.
partmonss. Sonatora and Representa-
tves 60 to their committees in the
early forenoon, and in fact all the Of
ficials begin their work in the morn
ing. 1t ia a matter of remark, how
some of them stand this continued
strain. The President. especially is
tried by his social duties. He seems
to entirely disregard the rule com
mon to some Of his predecessors, of
never accepting invitations, for he
goes to nearly all of the affairs which
he lis invited to attend.
The revised code of rules empha-
sized the prohibition of the sale Of
liquor at tho Capitol restaurants in
language that gave rise to sharp
discussion between Senators Bayard
and Frye at the debate upon the rules
Mr.. Bayard thought q distinction
should be drawn between spirituous
and malt liquors, while Mr.. Frye CON
tended against the sale Of oil liquors.
Mr.. Frye gave o lively picture of the
scenes frequent at both restaurants.
According to his observations, it
seems that "hiccups" and tea cups go
together at the Capitol, Finally the
debate was compromised by the
adoption of the convenient word Gin
toxicating," to cover the point OF issue,
and the rules were adopted.
The opponents Of the Mexican
treaty mustered just enough votes to
defeat it in thcSenate. The grounds
Of objection were various. Thechief
lay in the danger apprehend-
ed by the sugar and tobacco inter
osts, and the successful fight made
on their behalf is regarded by some
as proof Of the difficulties which lie
n the path Of any free-trade tariff
this winter. LENox.

KENDALL's NARRATIVE CONTINUED.
At this point of my narrative-fol
I cannot find more fitting place
l will give the reader an account ot
the agency Lewis had in iducing our
companions to surrender their arms
at Anton Chico. To show him in
his true colors, I will make few ex-
tracts from the statement of the par
ticulars of the surrender made by
Lieut.. Lubbock, one Of Captain Sut-
tons officers. Lieut.. L. was taken
to the City Of Mexico with the rest of
the party, but while confined in the
convent OF Santiago, made o daring
escape by leaping from the balcony
of the second story, and afterwards
succeeded in reaching Texasin safety.
It seems that that the day after
the small party that l accompanied,
consisting of Howard, Fitzgerald,
Van Ness and Lewis, left the large
sheepfold on the Gallinas, the main
party of the Texans took up the line
of march and travelled as far as An
ton Chico. They did not enter the
town but encamped on the edge of a
ravine within some . two hundred
yards, a strong positition in case of
an attack, with an abundance of wa
ter running almost at the feet Of the
men. Three or four of the Texans
who crossed the river and entered
the small town, to purchase provisions,
were arrested by Dimasio Salezar,
who was then encamped at the place
with several hundred men. Salezar
Immediately sent one of them back to
Col Cook and DR.. BRENNAN with the
request that they should come over
to the village and hold q consulta
ton with him. These officers very
properly sent back word that If he
wished to see them he must come 10

conference resulted in the liberation
Of the men. Colonel Cook then ask

that they We're quite 80 numerous and
glaring as Indicated by the pending
propositions TO amend. Twenty-nine
joint resolutions have been introduced
thus far this winter to change the
Constitution. These amendments, il
adopted, would give women the right
TO vote; give the President power to
veto items of the river and harbor
bill; make postmastersliips, collector
ships, marshalships, and judgeships
elective offices; secure civil rights to
all; limit the house to 35l membors;.
take away from Congress everything
except the enactment Of general laws;
abolish the power to give any person
exclusive privileges and franchises;
forbid the Government loaning it's
credit or money to any private under
taking; prohibit bigamy and polyga-
my; provide for the election Of Presi-
dent by direct popular vote, and the
election of Senators by the people;
give the majority in Congress the
power 70 pass a bill over the Presi-
dents veto, instead oftwo-thirds; give
Congress authority to limit the time

from CAPTAIN Salezar stating thai
Governor Armiio would arrive in Q
few hours, and that as an evidence
of his friendly disposition, ne would
cross tho river that intorvened be
tween our enoampments, and encamp
near us. AS he took up the line OF
march, our men were formed to re-
ceive him en- militawe, in o proper
manner. He marched howevever en-
tirely around our line, and took his
position within two hundred yards OF
us, having received further reinforce
ments, and now numbering about
four hundred men. We were then
dismissed but with orders to be ready
to seize our arms at a moments notice.
In about fifteen minutes weperceived
a party of about one hundred and
fifty or two hundred men advancing to
our right and rear. This gave cause
for suspicion OF danger and Col. Cooke
Immediately ordered Capt. Sutton
to form our men for action. In five
minutes battle to death would have
commenced--but some one explained
TINT Captain Lewis was at the head
of the party. The order was given
to stand at ease, the advancing party
uniting in the meanwhile with the
party in front. We then perceived
Capt Leiws advancing towards us,
with another, whom we afterwards as
certained to be the nephew OF the
governor. Lewis told us that the
people were exasperated at our com
ing, and were in arms, that in addition
to the six hundred troops before us,
he himself had seen four thousand of
the best equipped men he had ever
mot with; that they wore ON the
march, and would be on the ground
in o few hours, He further stated
that five thousand men were march
ing from chihuahua, and were ex-
pected daily, but tho governor had
commissioned him to offer, If we
would give up our arms, permission
to come in and trade, and that at the
end of eight days they should be re-
turned to us, together with our re-
cruitod horses. He further stated
that he k,seao this to be the custom of
tho st. Louis traders, visiting Santa
Fe, that no possible harm would re-
suit from such course, and for the
truth of these statements Lewis pledg-
ed his honor. It was observed dur
ing the conference, that Lewis in his
language disconnected himselffrom us
Using continually the pronoun yoa in I
itead of zoe. This excited the suspi-
lion of one of the officers, who pro
posed that we should return to our
as we came; and if we
,ould do no better, walk, and live
ipon the horses we had left 4 The
lephew of the governor replied that
Iuch course would, never do I; that
lis uncle knew that Americans wsre
and that such inhumanity
,ould not be permitted toward them;
md again urged us to accept the
and comply with the re-
Lpisitions made upon all traders vis-
ting Santa Fe.

neral sermon the Knights and Ladies
