when President Cleveland was at the

night last, he seemed to enjoy himself
thoroughly He laughed at Billy
Florence in Our Governor and he
admired the costumes of Mrs. Florence

The diplomatic world of Washington
is peculiar one, says the correspond
ent of the New Orleans States. Any
body who is diplomat is well received
in society. In fact, most diplomats
are courted by the social worll, and
it is very agreeable thing too, to
them, for your average diplomat has
little 10 do except to indulge in this
sort of thing. The social world gen
orally, however, does not satisfy your
average diplomat, for very large pro
portion of them find the use of the
English language burden, and they
are very glad to have the opportunity
of meeting with those who speak Ian
guage with which they are more famil-
lar. The result is that there are
great many quiet entertainments going
back and forth among these foreigners.
They all speak French, of course, and
apparently enjoy these quiet entertain
ments of their own very much. So
that while the winter is likely to be n
brilliant one among the diplomats, so
far as general society goes, it will not
interfere with the workings of this
wheel within the social wheels. The
japanese Minister evidently intends to
make this, his second winter in Wash
ington, an extremely brilliant one. He
is understood to be gentleman of
wealth and social experience.

The President ties it himself, and he
does not require the assistance of a valet

heavy and of brown color.

1t is said that already the signatures
of sixty eight Democratic members of
the House are affixed to paper de-
claring that one of two things must be
done: Either all legislation on the APP
preparation bills must be prohibited
and the bills be required to be reported
within certain limited time early in
the session, or else all bills, except the
deficiency, the sundry civil, the legis-
lative and the District of Columbia, and
probably the fertilization, shall be
taken from the Appropriations Com
mittee and distributed among the vari
Gus committees having charge of the
legislation bearing upon the subject of
the bills. 1t is expected, says the Phil

Beset On All Sides

By malaria, how shall we escape
the dread infection ? is the question
which the denizens of fever and
ague districts ask themselves. The
answer comes from former sufferers
who for years have escaped the Wis
itations of the periodic scourge,
through the protecting influence of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. When
the necessity for using preventive
measures arises, use this means of
prevention at once 1t regulates
the liver, facilitates digestion, and
liberates impurities from the sys
tenn, when such exist, by promoting
healthful action of the bowels and
kidneys. Act early. In all re-
giens WHARF mias,natic vapors breed

to be provided with a safeguard,
and this is trne, though a sojourn
in such localities is destined to be
brief. No enc can afford to breathe

a Bar Association for the Country

The following address, signed by
D. Caffrey, E. North Cullom, Robt.
P. Hunter, II. L. Garland, Thos.
II. Lewis and Murphy J. Foster,
has bpen issued and addressed "To
the Members of the Country Bar
of Louisiana:
The necessity for closer union
among the members of the bar of
this State throughout the country
parishes has long been felt, and &C
cordingly at a meeting of the law
yers from the rural parishes at the
late term of the Supreme Court at
Opelousas, a committee was appoin-
ted to frame an address to the coun-
try bar throughout the State, re-
questing them to meet at Alexan-
dria, in the parish Of Rapides, on
the Gath of August next, 1885, for
the purpose of forming a permanent
Country Bar Association.
The reasons for such union are
obvious; certain abuses call for re-
medal measures; certain rights de-
mand speedy vindication, and while
the inherent power of local bars
may be generally ample to guard
against lesser evils, the united
strength of the whole must be in
rerposed as a shield to ward off the
dangers threatening the great body.
Every branch of science, of art,
every profession and association
has its appropriate guild. Every
other State has it's Bar Association.
A move so uniform and so unani-
nous must be based on considera
tons of high utility and great pub
lie benefit.
The design and purpose of this
proposed onion is to elevate the
standard of admission to the bar;
to regulate the conduct of practi-
TONERS in all that relates to the we'll
being of the profession; to maintain
the high honor that should and,
generally, does characterize the
profession; and to punish the low
practices that sometimes disgrace
it; to prevent as far as may be, has
ty and ill-donsidered legislation
affecting fundamental principles,
and to direct public attention to ar
bitrary enactments or practices
which may be ignorantly or wrong
fully acquiesced in as rules of con-
duct and Of propriety; in fine, to
elevate, purify, strengthen and en-
large the scope of the profession in
all that affects the public welfare:
The Bar Of the City of New Or
leans is united in such an associa-
ton for these purposes. The Bar
of the country parishes ought like
wise to unite in a body, having au-
thority to express united thought
and united sentiment Considera-
tions Of the greatest weight prompt
the union of so large body Of con-
sentative citizens belonging to a
high and honorable calling, united

thy and animated by the highest

Catholic Criticism of Miss Cleve-
lands Book.

We are sorry that the lady of the
White House has written either so
ignorantly or so maliciously. We
do not think she intended to wound
Catholics. She belongs to the
transcendental New England school
of peculiar people, who, under the
plea of speaking out what they
think, often speak without thinking
at all, without studying the subject
they are talking about. The fear
less motto they adopt is an excel
lent one, but it is two-edged
sword in the hands of an ill-trained
intellect. 1t cuts both ways. A
NAB, or a woman either, when
adopting it, ought to make sure
they are right before going ahead.
We have no unkindly feeling for
Miss Cleveland, although she has
stricken that which is dearer to US
than our own self-our Spiritual
Mother. But we do most gravely
think that the publication Of this
book, at this particular juncture, is
most unfortunate thing. Had it
been printed two years ago, it
would have fallen still-born from
the press; just now it is being
spread broadcast over the country,
its popularity being derived from
the circumstances already indicated,
and everywhere it is carrying pro-
found misconception of the Catho-
lie church. We might go on to
speak of the literary corruption it
will produce by its stilted, unnatu-
raj style, coupled with shallow
thinking, and a morbid optimism
in human nature. But the lesser
evils are swallowed in the greater
one-the gratuitous insult which

White House, offers the Catholic
church. Baltimore Catholic Mirror.
