. The fast falling darkness speeded tb
dlsperaloD of tbe assemblage, and tbe
choosing of tbe chnrcb bell's sponsor
was a scored event In tbe history of tbe
parish. . t
. Tbe christening day of tbe bell was
tbe most perfect of that incomparably
lovely season, the Louisiana spring.
Tbe pale blue sky bad not a fleck In It
Tbe bosom of tbe little prairie was
spread with velvet; green sprinkled
wltb buttercups and violets, and on tho
edges of coulees bright willows rocked
In tbe gentle breeze. Tbe lanes were
bordered . by walls of dark Cherokee
vines, against which whits roses glis
tened In tbe sunlight Tbe cones dot
ting stretching brancbes of pecans
were opening In light, bued leaves.
while afar Id tbt swamp a bore tbe
blulsb gray festoons of Spanish moss
could be seen tbe feathery fringe wblcb
later would be plumes In tbe crowns
of royal cypresses. Tbe soft air was
scented wltb Jasmine, cbina flower and
sweet gum and rang wltb tbe Joyous
song of tbe mocking bird. : "-
Tbe bell, secured opon the stoutest
of plantation wagons, drawn by sla
sleek males, was arrayed In a robe of
wblte swIss, set off wltb bands of bine
satin and bnncbes of pink roses - A
string of red coral, tbe gift of tbe god
mother, encircled Its brow, above wblcb
was a wreath . of wblte magnolia
bloom. The wagon was clothed la
white cotton cloth, the harness of tbe
mules decked out wltb knots and bows
ef ribbon, and the herculean black who
drove them was attired In bis holiday
raiment, with a broad red saab across
bis chest-- y r- 5 '14
Tbe cortege escorting the bell la It
progress of six miles from 'the ware-
house at Marksvf lie to the chnrcb at
Mansura was composed of full 200 per
sona on horses. In buggies and afoot
It was beaded by Klol Durant, tbe an

a banner of blue silk on which was em

cade preceding the carriage of Father
Grbe, who to black robe and cap, wblte
surplice and gilded stole sat between
two acolytes gowned In red and white
and carrying censer burners. ' On each
side of tbe wagon six horsemen sasbed
with blue rode as a guard of honor to
the bell and then the fair sponsor In
an open conveyance seated beside her
grandfather. Sbe was attired In White,
a tbln veil over her hair and shoulders.
and held a nosegay Of large wblte roses
In her lap. A sweet, childish face.

hicle In which were many women,
matrons and maidens,, and a long line
of white youths and negroes marching
afoot came after.
As tbe. procession ' wonnd past the
MarksvUle church tbe bell in tbe tower,
rang by Father Challne himself, greet
ed ts new sister with a merry peal.
while all the - men uncovered their
beads.
Arrived at Mansura, tho bell waa rev
erently lifted and hung In tbe sheltered
temporary scaffolding which- bad been
provided for It at tbe church front, and
around It the people arranged them
selves In a wide circle. Two trays of
white roses were placed oa the scaf
fold, an acolyte brought from within
, the church the silver vessel of holy wa
ter and sprinkler, the aromatic gumS In
the censer were lighted j from Dve
coals, and Father Grbe. reading the
words of dedication and bathing bell
-and flowers with Incense and blessed
water, bestowed' the ham "Ste. Oe

ang a sweet "Ave Maria" in voice so
fresh and musical that It reached the
- heart of all, and the very birds seemed
to cease their warbllngs to catch Its
tender melody. Bhe repeated after the
priest her sponsorlal vow of unfailing
solicitude for the bell, to car for It
and protect -it and pray that It should
be the aver eloquent messenger sum
moning Increasing numbers to the
ship of God. -
"Gloria In Excel sis Deol" waa sung
by the choir, after which Estelle emp
tied the tray of flower over the bell
and distributed them among tts
throng, by whom they were now
garded aa especial aid to holiness
As the sinking sun touched the rim

over tbe prairie on the moistening

eyes were black, bis lips tbln and firm.
, To these sons, the father had left
nothing but a debt owed in Kentucky
for blooded horses, . wblcb Horace
speedily discharged. Evariste - was
portionless; his brother bade blm con
sider himself half owner of all the

Horace was sent to tb legislature. '
The home waa now presided over by
the Widow Wyley, whose long experi
ence aa tbe wife of aa overseer bad
given her a knowledge of tbe negro
character which enabled her to rule
efficiently and kindly. Thrift and neat
ness, came naturally from bef Dntcb

cows and bees.: Her face was big and
red, and so waa her heart; her balr was
wblte and strong, and so was ber na

was tb abstemious, tireless overseer,
who had announced on taking charge
that tbe lash was only for oxen, mules
and dogs and to whose shrewd, frugal
management waa du the fact that tb
prosperity of "L'Ksperance" was second
to tbat of no plantation In the pariah of
Avoyelles, wltb tb possible exception
of Baldoulno's, on Bayou des Glalses.
The dwelling was a brick structure of
two stories, with broad, covered veran
das projecting from tb second in front
and rear. Oa the ground- floor, which
was tiled, were at on side of a wlde-j
hall a dining room and housekeeper'
sanctum, .at tbe other an office, library
and medicine store, in wblcb were kept
considerable quantities of medicaments
of approved us on Urge plantations.
The second story contawed parlor and
sleeping apartments, high celllnged and
spacious, separated by a hall corre
sponding with tb on below and reach
ed: by exterior stairway piercing tb
verandas, Tbe furniture waa heavy,
eld and rich. An acre set In pecan, wal

' James 0. Blaine at one time in
his career was, as regards consular
ofiicers, in favor ot limited tenure
of office. Mr. Blaine sat in his room
at the state department one day
discussing different matters of pub

his immediate predecessor in office.
"Now. here," said he, "is a case
in point. This man has been con

and has remained there ever since.

much longer, he will have a Chinese

"I wouldn't remove him, Mr.

quietly. 1
"Why not?"
"I am afraid it will be an un

"My mind is made up," replied
Mr. Blaine. "As soon as I can find
a good live man to take his place I

Lord Clden' Apology.
On one occasion a junior counsel,
on their lordships gmng judgment
against hi client, exclaimed that he
waa surprised at their decision. This
was construed into a contempt of
court, and the young barrister wss
ordered to attend at the bar the
next morning. Fearful of the con
sequences, he consulted his friend
John Scott, afterward Lord Eldon,
who told him to be perfectly at ease,
for be would apologize for him in a
way that would avert any unpleas
ant result.
Accordingly when the name of
the delinquent waa called Scott rose
and coolly addressed the judges. 1

forgotten himself as to treat your
lordships with disrespect He is ex-

to his ignorance. Yon most sea at
once that it did originate in that.
He said he wss surprised at the de
cision of your lordships. Now, if
he hsd not been ignorant of what
takes piece in this court every dsy
