Confirmation.

Tuesday morning the 10th inst. there
took place in our Catholic church the
grand brilliant imposing ceremony of
confirmation which was administered by
by His Grace Archbishop Janssens to 647
persons.
The Archbishop was assisted in the
beautiful ceremonies by Father LanglOis
and his vicar, Father Lavaquerie and the
following visiting priests: Raymond of
Opelousas. Forges of Lafayette, Juan of
Washington. Massardier and Antonio of
New Orleans, Coughlan of Loreauville.
Borias of BreauX Bridge, Healy of
Baton Rouge, Jacquet of New Iberia,
Bre of Franklin and Chabrier of Roy
vile.
Before and after administering the
holy sacrament of confirmation, the
Archbishop delivered good and able
sermon in French which was well un-
derstood by the faithful, and he made
such favorable impression upon the
minds and hearts of his congregation
that those who were the happy reci-
pent of the holy sacrament of ConfirToa
ton by the hands of the Eminent Divine
will keep fresh in their memory this hap
py day of their lifes, and will also keer
in grateful remembrance, His Grace,
Archbishop Janssens.
In the evening the pupils Ot the Sis
tel's schools gave an interesting enter
tainment in honor of the Archbishop and
for the benefit of the monument OF Fa
ther Jan, The entertainment was fairly
patrOnized by the people irrespective o.
creed or religion, and proved a source o.
great pleasure to his Grace, who aftel
the pleasant and agreeable hour spent a
the hall, got on the stage and addressed
few words of thanks and appreciation
of the attainments Of the children unde
the good care Of the Sisters and one
more favored the assemblage with his be
nedictiOn.

seem to lack the energy thati necessary

that if the business is too brisk it will at

the statue of the Rev. Father Jan, which
was to take place ON Tuesday the Goth.
instant, and were greatly disappointed
to learn that the contractor who had
promised to have everything ready for
the 10TH, had failed to receive one of
the principal stones, which had been
worked in Alabama, and which had
been delayed by neglect of the Railroad
employees or otherwise.
The committee who have in charge the
erection of the monument were greatly
disappointed also at the failure of the
contractor to complete his work as agreed
and are therefore compelled to postpone
the Inauguration to the latter part of the
month of December, when ample ant
grand preparations will be made, ant
notice given to all those who wish to at
tend the unwilling ceremony.
The Inauguration was fixed on Tues
day because most Rev. Archbishop Jams
sens was here to administer the Sacra
ment of Confirmation, and it was the de
sire of the committee that his Grac
should have presided over this grand an
solemn ceremony.

incubation Against Scarlet Fever.

Medical journals report successful ex-
periments by French veterinary surgeon
on twelve children whom he .inoculated
with excretions from the nose of horse
suffering from the quasi scarlet fever of
that animal. The modified disease APP
peared, ran its course, and left the children
proof against subsequent inoculations of
genuine human scarlatina. The example
is not very inviting. We cannot believe
that the medical profession or the people
are likely to look with favor on the iniec-
ton Of pestilent excretions into the human
system, where there are any other means
to protect the community from the preva-
lence of the contagion. While unprepared
to join the crusade against vaccination, in
the present state of protective sanitary ad-
ministration, we hold it undeniable that
vaccination is at best an evil only less than
smallpox itself that it is clearly within
the possibilities of sanitary administration
to restrict the pest as effectually without
it: and that the day is not far distant
when this expedient of our present semi
barbarous sanitary stage will be superseded
by efficient protective regulations, inter
national as well as intranational-Sdni

Inherited
Diseases.

In the realm of disease the facts OF In
heritance are most numerous and are daily
accommodating. Here, alas, they become ter
rible, fateful and overwhelming. No fact of
nature is more pregnant with awful mean

disease. It meets the physician on his daily
rounds, parniyzing his art and filling him
with dismay. The legend of the ancient
Greeks pictures the Furies as pursuing

ply their work of terror and death, but they
are not now clothed in the garb of sqpersti-
ton, but appear in the more Ineligible but
no less awful form Of hereditary disease.
Modern science. which has Illuminated so
many dark corners of nature, has shed a
new light on the ominous words Of the
Scriptures, The sins Of the fathers shall be

A distinguished scientist truly says: "No
organ or texture OF the body is exempt from
the chance OF being the subject of hereditary
disease" Probably more chronic diseases,
which permanently modify the structure
and functions of the body, are more or less
liable to be inherited. The important and
far-reaching practical deductions from such
facts-affecting so powerfully the happiness
of individuals and families a9d the collective
welfare OF the nation-are obvious TO refiec-

IT Is nor ALWAYS NAY.


The sun is bright, the air is clear,
The darling swallows soar and sing,
And from the stately elms hear
The blue bird prophesying spring.
So blue yon winding river flows,
1t seems an outlet from the sky,
Where. waiting till the west wind blows,
The freighted clouds at anchor lie.
All things are nev-the buds, the leaves,
That gid the eln-tree's nodding crest,
And even the nest beneath the caves;
There are no birds in last years nest
All things rejoice in youth and love,
The fulness of their first delight:
And learn from the soft heavens above
The melting tenderness of night.
Maiden, thou read'st this simple rhyme,
Enjoy thy youth. 1t will not stay;
Enjoy the fragrance of thy prime,
For o, it is not always May
Enjoy the spring of love and youth,
To some good angel leave the rest
For Time will teach thee soon the truth.
There are no birds in last years nest.
