d the names of benefactors of the church, in order that the appointed prayers might be made as the feast-days of their chosen saints recurred. The Venerable Bede, in his preface to the Life of St. Cuthbert, A. D. 721, speaks of the record of the saint's name in the album at Lindisfarne. The name frequently occurs in ecclesiastical and other writings. Al′bu-men process in photography. This process antedated the collodion, which is much more sensitive. It was invented by Niepce de St. Martin. The glass receives a coating from a solution of albumen to which bromide and iodide of potassium and a drop of caustic potash have been added, and after drying is exposed to the fumes of iodine. It is then silvered in a bath of nitroacetate of silver, and dried. After passing again over the vapor of iodine it is ready for the camera. The image is developed by a solution of gallic acid, and fixed by a solution of hyposulphite of soda. — Mayall. Al′car-ra′za. A vessel of porous e

Dined at Meurice's table d'hote; this is the great English hotel, and English is the prevalent language at table. The dinner is well served. I sat, of that I should pass from one man to the very person who had flayed him, as it were, through the public press! April 1. This evening went to the Theatre Porte St. Martin to see Mademoiselle Georges, 1787-1867. She began to perform in Paris, in 1802 in Clytemnestra. She was attached, at one time, to the Imperial Theatre at St. Petersburg. She played at Dresden and Erfurt before Napoleon and Alexander. From 1821 to 1847 she performed chiefly in Paris at the Odeon and Porte St. Martin theatres. She retired in 1849, but reappeared in 1855. Among her personal admirers were princes and the Emperor Napoleon. famous for her liaison with the emperor, as e

on; in the evening heard Ristori in Camilla, a piece of moderate merit, but very well acted. I did not like it so well as Maria Stuardo. May 6. Breakfasted with Mr. Senior; pleasant company again. Other guests were Tocqueville, Corcelle, Count Arrivabene, and Clives. Drove with Appleton to the review in the Champs de Mars, where were sixty thousand soldiers,—more than I have ever seen before, and more than I shall ever see again; dined at a restaurant, and then went to Theatre Porte St. Martin to see the new play entitled William Shakspeare; but after two acts was so tired I was obliged to get home. May 7. Went to Musee d'artillerie; made several calls. Passed my evening quietly; too tired for society or theatre. May 8. Went to Palais de Justice to hear M. Mairie, a member of the Provisional Government of the Republic; but the case was postponed again on account of the death of his wife. Made calls; drove with Appleton to the Bois. In the evening went to Madame Mohl's,

oats in astonishment at so novel a sight; and, when a boat pushed on shore to speak with them, they cried out, Tayno, tayno! which is as much as to say, Good, good! and waited for the landing of the sailors, standing by the boat in such a manner that they might escape when they pleased. The result was, that none of the men could be persuaded to join us; and only two were taken by force, who were secured, and led away. . . . Another day, at the dinner-hour, we arrived at an island St. Martin, one of the Caribbee Islands. which seemed to be worth finding; for, judging by the extent of cultivation in it, it appeared very populous. We went thither, and put into harbor, when the admiral immediately sent on shore a well-manned barge to hold speech with the Indians, in order to ascertain what race they were, and also because we considered it necessary to gain some information respecting our course; although it afterwards plainly appeared that the admiral, who had never made that pa

s near Hopevilla, East Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is married, and has two children. Another desperate case was that of John McCormick, from whose leg nearly all the bones were removed, but who also recovered. There were, besides, three men sick of fever and dysentery, desperately ill, considered hopeless when sent to the Refuge, but who all recovered. This is certainly a remarkable record, and one to be proud of. Among the patients was that noble patriot, Colonel Alcibiades de Blanc, of St. Martin's Parish, Louisiana, of whom Lousianians proudly relate that he refused to be made a brigadier-general, saying he did not feel competent to fill such a position, and was content to serve his country as a private soldier, feeling that no position could be more honorable. Of Company K, Eighth Louisiana, and Company H, Seventh Louisiana, nearly all the sick and wounded enjoyed, at one time or another during the war, the hospitalities of the Refuge. General Hays was a personal friend and h

connection of Louisiana with the United States dissolved, and the Federal authority therein null and void. Before adjourning to meet on January 29th, in Lyceum hall, New Orleans, John Perkins, Jr., of the committee on Confederation, had reported an ordinance for the appointment of a delegation to a convention to form a Southern Confederacy, to be held at Montgomery, February 4, 1861. This ordinance was carried unanimously, with the following delegation: Perkins of Madison; Declouet of St. Martin; Sparrow of Carroll; Marshall of De Soto. This was the signal for the unfurling of a beautiful Pelican flag above the president's stand, amid intense enthusiasm. After this, Rev. D. Linfield offered in English a fervent prayer for a blessing on the work of the convention. Father Darius Hubert, the good Samaritan of the armies of the Confederacy, followed with a prayer in French. Thus the two languages of the native population were heard pleading for that convention which had answered

soon, through the dark, heavy masses of infantry were heard approaching. Expecting support, Hays for an instant thought they were the friends promised in the crisis. But he soon perceived that the enemy was confronting him and surrounding him, and after a volley from his depleted ammunition he was forced to fall back in order to a stone wall at the foot of the ridge. His loss was heavy—26 killed, 151 wounded, and 55 missing. Among the gallant dead were Col. T. D. Lewis, Captains Victor St. Martin and L. A. Cormier, and Lieutenants W. P. Talbot, A. Randolph, R. T. Crawford. Lieut.-Col. A. De Blanc succeeded to the command of the Eighth. Early next morning (3d) Williams' men and their comrades, reinforced, renewed the assault, and the enemy in turn with a greatly strengthened line made a desperate effort to recapture their line of breastworks. The fighting continued till noon without favorable result. The loss of the brigade during the entire battle was 43 killed and 309 wounded.

coldness and decay, To lend a sweetness to the ungenial day And make the sad earth happier for their bloom. 1879. St. Martin's summer. This name in some parts of Europe is given to the season we call Indian Summer, in honor of the good St. St. Martin. The title of the poem was suggested by the fact that the day it refers to was the exact date of that set apart to the Saint, the 11th of November. though flowers have perished at the touch Of Frost, the early comer, I hail the season loved so much, The good St. Martin's summer. O gracious morn, with rose-red dawn, And thin moon curving o'er it! The old year's darling, latest born, More loved than all before it! How flamed the sunrise through the pines How stretched the birchen shadoess drear the winter night shall be, If memory cheer and hearten Its heavy hours with thoughts of thee, Sweet summer of St. Martin! 1880.
