He did not WOO his affianced; she sim
ply adOrel him, in a passionate though
innocent fashion scarcely COmprehensi-
bic to the French.
The marriage was effected in three
weeks, and Teresa revived rapidly under
the invigorating influence of her happi-
ness. She took possession Of her young
and handsome husband, fully, ardently,
with Jealous and complete monopoly.
Agreeable and kind, he suffered her to
do this, becoming the more readily hers
and theirs from the fact that, his family
having gone, the poor fellow had not a
tie in the world outside of Teresa and her
relatives.
In marrying the daughter Of the Car
dellis he became almost as much their
child as she Was, and in the simplicity of
his excellent and unsuspecting nature,
desiring to see everybody satified, he
kindly allowed himself to be captured.
Up to the last moment Teresa feared
lest some Unforeseen event might take
him from her. From morning till night
he was held prisoner, for she was still
Jealous Of Rosa FalcOne, and did not
want Orlando to meet her, for then he
might regret the young girl and renounce
his marriage with Teresa.
Father, mother, maiden aunt, every
body, covered the young lover with gar
lands; all hung upon his lips from fear of
displeasing him. And this was absolute
y sincere.
But when he had become Teresa's, in
stalled in her house, bound by solemn
oath, her goods, her husband, her prop
erty in fact, Teresa's passion became a
Jealous delirium and its form changed.
Instead Of submissive, she became ex-
acting. She had 50 long hoped in vain
that her anxiety was not Gained by pos
session. The young husband said to him
self that she had suffered much; he ac-
cepted in the beginning. At the end of
-ix months, when the condition of affairs
caused him frequent irritation, he saw
what mistake he had made in not re-
sisting at the start; the precedent had
been established 1t was necessary to
submit in order to avoid scenes and ner-
vOuS crises
Oh! the scenes!
He tried, however, to struggle; but
what could he do against a wife, a
father, mother, an old maid? In the
end Orlando bent his head.
Then even his work was taken from
him. Monteforte had never been what
is considered an interchangeable toiler. But
his art now became a necessity to him,
to enable him to forget the petty trials of
every day life.
The studio caused his wife continual
suspicious

vided with similar damask. Through
the open work embroidery of a white
coverlet could be seen silk quilt of the
same shade of blue as the hangings. The
furniture consisted of a wardrobe with
three doors, an arm chair, two smaller
chairs, and a little work table. A con-
sole attracted the young mans attention.
The pink lamp, Indispensable in every
Neapolitan's chamber, burned there day
and night in continual alteration be-
fore an image of the Madonna, accom-
panied by other accessory images and
large palm leaf, COnsecrated and dried, a
souvenir of Palm Sunday.
Teresa was sutfUcating with happiness;
Monteforte was entirely upset. The
young girls poor little body was vaguely
outlined beneath the soft quilt. In the
deliberately embroidered white pillow
was buried, blackcr and thinner than
ever, her poor, ludiCrous head. Above
the clothes and clenching them were her
astonishingly emaciated hands.
Montef0rte tried to muster up courage
and shake off the emotion that was gain

lashes concealed the flame in her eyes.
Come, courage!" said he, pressing |
the little hands. Tell me this great Sc
cret, this trouble, for which l offer you |
consolation"
Il love some one" she articulated in a
low voice.
A tear rolled slowly down her cheek.
Teresa" cried the good hearted fellow.
With serious voice she continued:
"Some one who does not love me-"
He could not answer; his throat con-
tracted. Pity? Remorse? Love, perhaps?
He could not have told.
Softly he whispered:
Are YOU sure that he does not love
you?"
She shook her head.
"Well, my child, tell him, il you love
him. Men have not always time to go
down to the bottom of their hearts; per
haps he does not know you well. Come,
Teresa. be frank with me-"
Encouraged by this penetrating voice
and the sincerity of his clear eyes, she
withdrew her hand. from Orlando's.
Then she sat straight up, sustained by
the pillows. Shaking off her weakness,
she resolved to tell all; and MontefOrte
saw a sort of solemnity transtigure the
young girls face. The soul had per-
meated the human clay, Illuminating the
little homely and puny creature with its
divine radiance. With firm voice she
began:
Since you say that may, NJ. Monte
forte, am going to tell you everything"
| do you remember the day when l
| first met you at the Rienzis? had al
ready known you for a long time, for
| you passed before our window at Portici.
| Who YOU were did not know. But |
| looked at you and wanted so much to
| know your name, though did not dare
to ask any one.
| "At last NJ. del Vecchio introduced
| YOU. There was such buzzing in my
ears that | could not distinguish your
family name. | heard only your first
name-Orlando. If you only knew how
happy was to see you and be so near
you. Since then-and long beforehand
always, love you!'
This confession of the young girl was
80 chaste and deep that he could not find
a word worthy of her and of this pure
love. He let his head fall upon the bed,
placing his burning eyes upon TereSa's
| pale hands.
She continued:
awaiting her; since then l have loved
you faithfully.
Monteforte raised his head, and, keep
Ing Teresas hands in his own, drew
nearer to her.
Teresa continued with cloudlesscandor:
AS long as the RienziS remained in
italy all went well, although

She, still more treasured at finding
him 50 near h"r and 50 affectionate and
good, continued:

times, without knowing it. And then

"Jealous, Teresa: OF whom"

"even now | will not say Of whom. OF

Largest Flower Known.
1T is AS LARGE AS A CARRIAGE WHEEL
AND WEIGHS OVER TWENTY POUNDS.

In the farthest southeartern island
of the Philippine group, Mindinao, mp
on one of it's mountains, Parag, in the
neighborhood of the highest peak on
the island, the volcano Apo, a party
of botanical and ethnographical explo-
rers found recently, at the height of
$500 feet above the sea level, q colos-
sal flower. The discoyerer, DR.. Alex
ander Schadenberg, could scarcely be-
lieve his eyes when he saw, among the
low growing bushes, the immense buds
OF this flower, like gigantic brown cab
bage heads. But he was still more
astonished when he fond II specimen
in full bloom, a five petal flower near
ly a yard in diameter-as large as a
carriage wheel, IN fact. This enor-
NOUS blossom was borne Oh a sort of
vine creeping on the ground. The ma
tive who was present when DR.. Scha-
denberg found the flower called It
bolo.
The party had no scale by which the
weight of the flower could be ascer-
tanned, but they improvised a swing
ing scale, using their boxes and speci-
mems us weights. Weighing these
when opportunity served, it wasfound
that il single flower weighed over
twenty-five pounds. 1t was impossible
to transport the fresh flower, SO the
travellers photographed it and dried a
number of its leaves by the heat of Il
tiir. Dr.. Schadenberg then sent the
photographs AMI dried specimens II
the roya. botanical gardens, Bre> NJ.
where the learned director immed =
ly recognized it lis a species of lie
STA, il plant formerly d~iscoverci in
Sumatra, and named after the English
governor, Sir Stamford Rallies. The
new flower was accordingly naaiad
rafiesia schadenbersia.
The five petals of this immense flow
er are oval and creamy white, and
grow around a center filed with count
less long violet hued stamens, thicker
and longer in the fertile flower than
in the infertile.-FIerida Progress.

On Thursday, January 2, inst,
whilst Judge Z. w. Blake was writ
ing in his Office, at the corner of St.
Louis and Thibodaux streets, he sud
denly found himself unable to move !;

Friends Immediately gathered
around him, DR.. Dansereau was soon
near the sick man, and his wife whose
side he had left, a short time previous.
was brought to the Office only to find
the partner with whom she had lived
in the bonds of devoted love and
affection for many years, a dying man.
The sufferer was taken to his resi-
dence, where all that love and sym
pathy could effect vas done, but re-
lief only came at 5 o'clock, from the
messenger of death, when his spirit
quietly left his body forever.
Judge Blake was a native of her
vile Parish, but removed to Thibo-
daux in his early manhood and began
the practice of law, being in partner
ship with tle late Hon. Bannon G..
Thibodaux whose daughter he mar
ried.
Mr.. Blake served subsequently rs
District Attorney. and also for eight
years rs judge of the fifth circuit court.

litigants. On retiring from the bench
he resumed his law practice, and has
been serving for two years as Pcesi
dent of the Parish School Board, tax
ing deep interest in the c of
the public schools.
The deceased was noted for his
kindness and social disposition, for
his charitable aud agreeable character.
Possessed of good conversational
abilities he always retained the sin
cere friendship of those with whom
business or pleasure brought him in
contact.
He was q member Of the catholic
church, his life being an exemplifi-
cation of the sincerity of his faith.
The health Of the deceased had been
failing for some time, making his sud-
den deeease not an unexpected occur
ence to his intimate associates.
He leaves a widow and one son.
A good man has passed away, one
who will be- missed by those who were
near to him in life.
He leaves n name unsullied, and a
record of which family and friends
may point with pride.
He was inferred il St. Joseph's
cemetery, on yesterday evening, after
impressive funeral services by Rev
Father Menard, surrounded 10y a large
number of sorrewing friends. +,

a Few Facts on Pecans.

The front grouad OF Mr. Swinded's
home shows Il pecan orchard of two
years growth. with II, 900 trees check
ed forty feet each way. In their sixth
year they will commence bearing.
Common pecans sell here at from So
to $3.50 per busllel. but the pecans
of which this orchard was planted
were sold at s. per bushel they We're
equal to any eser handled in any
market. 1t can be remembered here
when pecans were worth only 80 cents
IL bushel, but they have been steadily,
advancing in price and popularity
and even now the supply doe not
equal the demand hence. as the de-
mand creates the supply, there is no
fear ofoverstocking the market. But
on the contrary, they will supersede
the English walnut, which now brings
from SIS to IS per bushel, as tho con-
sumers all declare the pecan the most
nutritious. 1t must be remembered
that it is not safe to transplant the
pecan cion or sprout. Many people
wonder why the wild crop every year
is abundant in spots and barren in
others; very plainly, because the trees
growing ut random and promiscuously
lose much of their pollen. which is
waited off by the breezes. But if the
trees are ut proper distances they can
lose none of their fructifying proper
ties, hence the certainty of heavy
fruitags.-Brogarood appeal.

To-day, again a glad New Year
Is waiting for our greeting,
With all its wealth of blessings here
And present joys too feeting,
We sec not yet upon his back
The burdens he is bearing
He starts upon his royal track
His honors proudly wearing.
The Old Year with its past IS dead,
The New one lies before us,
Whatever with the past has fed
Gods sky is arching DER us.
And though high mountains rise to
climb
And walls of stone appal us,
To conquer all is given Us time
Though direst Ills befall us.
Though winter winds and winter storms
Should now be wildly raging,
When Spring again the old earth warns
These tempests cold assuaging,
Our hearts may kindle with new fires,
Our burdens may grow lighter,
Our souls be filled with high desires
As Nature grows the brighter.
New hopes, new aims, new joys to-day,
New pledges life reforming,
Let such be ours Us on our way
All castles Doubt we're storming.
Why sit and mourn DER wasted hours,
Or grievc for days departed
Renew your strength, rouse all your
powers,
No battles fight half-hearted.
Can we forget our cares, our pam,
And dream of joys Eiysian ?
With courage let US build again
The palace of our vision.
Look on ahead as months unroll,
Court Fortunes smiles and treasures,
For past and dead no bells shall toll
As we shall count our pleasures.
Not all who walk beside US now
Who grasp our hands with feeling,
| Again in gratitude may how
When New Years bells are pealing.
Then hold your friend with closer
grasp;
A warmer friendship giving,
And make him feel in that warm clasp
That life is worth the living.
Dear readers, here your Carrier comes
To bid Godspeed this morning,
To wish you peace and happy homes
Success your lives adjoining.
Though clouds of fate may darkly bend
And YOU be full of sadness,
Pray welcome now the humble friend
Who comes to you in gladness.
A welcome guest your SENTINEL
Would lie upon your table,
Through coming weeks to please 70,
we'll
With columns fresh and able.
Then give us cheering words we pray
While winter days are fleeing,
And answer kindly, as you may,
Our happy New Years greeting.
