Opening Meeting V. |. A.

The V. |. a. held the first regular
monthly meeting of the season OF
1867 last Monday afternoon. The
attendance was good. The yearly re-
port of the treasurer showed the IL
nances of the association to be in eX-
cellent condition, and view of the
work accomplished in the last year,
as shown by the presidents report,
will add new zeal to the labors Of an
other year.
1t was with deep regret that the
association accepted the resignation
of Mrs. Minnie B. Rich, literary vice
president, who will not return to
Crescent City this year. Mrs. T. c.
Rogers, a woman highly qualified to
conduct this department, was elected
to fill the vacancy.
One of the especially interesting
features of the meeting was the talk
given by Miss Elsie Padgett on the
work of the Camp Fire Girls. Miss
Padgett held the unwaveing interest
of her hearers as she explained the
aims and methods of this organlza-
ton, making clear the way in which
it meets a real need in the self-de-
velopment of young girls.
The officers and standing commit
tees for the coming year are: Presl'
dent. Miss B. H. Williams; social wee,
president, Mrs. W. NJ. Miller; civics
yice-president, Mrs. S. M. LaBree; lit

The pruids.

The druids were evidently Of very
great antiquity, for there cannot be
much doubt that it was one of their
customs that Vergil had in mind when
he wrote in the "Aeneid." vi, l42, that
the "Only means of access for a living
mortal to the world of spirits was the
carrying Of GOLDEN twig which grew
in dark and thick grove" The re-
sembiau1e Of tie story to the druid
ical rite is perfect. The druids prac.
ticed their rites in dark groves. If
mistletoe was discovered growing
upon an oak priest severed 1t with
a knife, and a festival was held under
the tree at which two milk white
bulls were offered as a sacrifice. This
was a sacrifice to the sun god. and the
mistletoe, from it's pale greenish yell
low tint, was regarded as kind Of
vegetable gold and was accordingly
looked upon as being a fit offering to
the sun.

Rev. r. S. Burris Resigns.

Rev. R. S. Burris, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, at a business
meeting of the church last Wednesday
evening following the regular prayer
service, rendered his resignation as
pastor, the same to take effect within
the month.
Mr.. Burris explained that for many
years he had felt call to the mission
field and as the way now seemed open
he felt it to be his duty to go. About
year ago he had made application to
go as missionary to China. He had
just received an appointment to mis-
sion in WI Chow, and would be oblig-
ed to sail for China from San Fran
cisco on Dec. 18th.
The resignation was reluctantly ac-
cepted. To The News Mr.. Burris
stated that he would probably leave
Crescent City about the 18th of No
vember He said that the new presi-
dent of China was a Christian and
there was call for young men to
come to that nation to assist in mould
ing sentiment for what promised to
become one of the greatest republics
on earth. He had long had a desire
to serve in the mission field and the
opportunity had knocked at his door;
he was going.
Mr.. Burris is serving his third year
as pastor of the Presbyterian church
here and is popular with all the peo-
pie of the place, and they will regret
the call that is to take him away.

Frederick LeveSon-G Cover In his rem

Moscow in 1856 for the coronation Of
Alexander II. opposite our house dur.

Emperor Paul, all the men having
turned up noses and therefore resem-

them off according to their looks. There
