Nativity of saint John. the Raptist.

This Is one of the greatest of the Minor
feasts 1t marks the exact half year
from Christmas. and reminds US that
Chrlsts iOrerunner was Just six months
older than Himself; at the same time. it
waits on Christmas, as that Baptist did
on Christ, giving us much instruction
and devotional material that bears direct
ly on the incarnation of the son of God.
St. John Baptist did lot belong to
the christian dlspensation: nor was his
baptism christian baptism. It WIS only
an introduction to the gospel, as he,
himself shows, and as the practice of
the apostles to re-baptize his converts
fully confirms. He lived aud died un-
der Moses, and "the least in the king
dom OF heaven was greater than he, ."
because 1t is greater thing to be a
child of the bridegroom and the bride,
than to be merely the bridegroom's
friend. But st. John Baptist was the
greatest born of woman, until Jesus, be-
cause, as the last Of all the prophets, he
was the immediate index and usher of
Him, of ''whom Moses, in the Law aud
the Prophets did Mite" He gave all
prophecy its point and application, when
he directed it to the Sayoir, saying, BE,
hold the Lamb OF God" and when he
identified the Messiah, and manifested
him personally to Israel at his baptism,
after four thousand years of promise and
of fore-shadowings.
When we reflect how great the Baptist
was, as compared with Moses and all the
prophets. let us reflect on the testimony
he gives to the Divinity of Christ, by
saying Of him, He was before me-
Whose shoes latcheth am not worthy
to unloose." Let us consider, too, that
the last of the prophets was the precep,
tor of st. Andrew and ST. John. who
were the first members of the Apostolic
company, and that he himself transferred
them TO Jesus, so that in him and them
is fulfilled that which is said of the fouu>
dation of the Catholic church, upon
prophets and apostles. Jesus Christ, Him
self, being the chief corners stone"
The profound humility and fidelity of
this great prophet are among the most
conspicuous of his characteristics He
was but "a voice" to proclaim the Lord
and, fulfilling that office, he was ready to
decrease. Yet what unmingled euoyy
he received from his Master. He was
"a burning and II shining light" He was
more than prophet" He was 'the
greatest among those born Of women"
The martyrdom Of the Baptist took
place very early in our Lords ministry,
and when St. John was only about thirty
years OF age; and since his work was
done. we may see in it the manner ia
which the course of even the evil of this
world is 30 regulated. that it ministeret
by quick death to the removal of {
saint on earth to the blessed abode Of
saints in glory.

Last evening the force which guards
the city during its slunber, happened to
run in man named William Barnhart for
carrying concealed weapons. He proved
to he Il clerk in the office of the St Louis

export, and he told the police that he had
been held up in the east part of town
and robbed This led to an investigation,
when Mr.. Lon Bryson, agent of the line
mentioned, being consulted, reported
that Barnhart had collected 1923 So from

expense of two or three penknives,
carved rude seal upon piece Of box

There was quite time over the adopt
ion of that flag. A considerable num-
ber were in favor Of sticking to the old
flag, with slight notifications, but Mr..
Miles, Of South Carolina, chairman Of
the Congressional flag committee, argu-
ed at length ih his report against this
sentimental idea, and added, by way of
clincher, that Liberia and the Sand
wich Islands had flags very similar to
ours, and the committee was not dis
posed, therefore if for no other reason,
'to keep, copy orimitate it. They have
no inclination to borrow second hand
what has already been pilfered or ap-
propriated by a free negro community
and race Of savages.''
| = The very first Confederate flag that
the sun ever>saw, Col. Capers sestifies,
was hoisted by Judge Glitherall at
Montgomery. He was in the conf &dence
Of the flag committee, and as soon as
they told him the design selected he got
his lady friends together and had one
made. On the day the committee was
to report to Congress he mounted the
roof If the Capitol, fixed his flag to the
halyards Of the staff and waited.
The Recommendation of the commit
tee was approved. He got his signal
from below, and in the twinkling OF an
eye the new ensign Of the South was
floating proudly in the caresses of the
gentle March wind. The news spread
quickly through the city,. and when
Judge Clitherall shouted down from his
lofty perch, "rhrce cheers for the Con-
federate flag" the crowd answered with
a mighty greeting that, it was thought
at the time, must have. given an earache
to the bronze statue on the dome of the
far Northern Capitol.

Washington, June 2.-The White
House was entirely closed to visitors
to-day, and the usual afternoon recep-
tion by. the President was omitted. In
side all was hustle and confusion in
preparation for the wedding. Several
express wagons unloaded numerous
packages Of various sizes at the main
entrance, and they were. at once re-
morcd from sight. Some werc ad-
dressed to the President, some to Miss
Folsom, some to Col. aLmont and one
to Mrs. GrJver Cleveland" The
most of them were undoubtedly we'd
ding presents.
The WEDDING QUESTS ARRIVING.
President Cleveland was married to
Miss Folsom at 7:25 this p. m. About
half-past six O'Clock the wedding guests
began arriving, their carriages rolling
up to the main door Of the Mansion
through the great iron gates on Penn
sylvania avenue. The first arrival was
Secretary Lamar at 6:37. He was
closely followed by Rev. DR.. Sunder-
land and wife, and during the next few
minutes there came in quick succession
Postmaster General Villas ana wife, and
Wilson s. Bissol, Secretary and Mrs.
Whitney, and Secretary Manning and
wife. Removing their wraps in the
State dining room all the guests pro-
ceeded to the Blue room, where they
were received by Miss Rose Cleye-
land.
MENDELssoHN's WEDDING MARCH.
For few moments the guests chat
ted gaily, but conversation quickly sus-
pended at 7:15 p. M, when the select
ed orchestra from the Marine Band
stationed in the corridor struck up the
familiar strains of the Wedding March
from Mendelssohn's Midsummer Nights
Dream, and all eyes turned to the door
way to catch the first glimpse Of the
coming bride and groom. Starting
from the western corridor on the upper
story, the President came slowly down
the western stair case with his bride
leaning on his arm. They were unac-
companied, even the brides mother
waiting her with the other guests.
