CATHoLIc CHURCHES IN THE UNITED STArEs.-
The Catholic Almanac Of 1850 furnishes interesting
statistical tables relating TO the growth of the Cath
oic church and Catholic institutions in the United
States.
Fifty years ago there was but one Catholic Dio-
cess in the United States that of Bishop Carroll.
His ecclesiastical jurisdiction extended over the
whole Union. There were then only forty priests,
and they scattered over the country The seminary
called the st. Marys was established at Baltimore as
IA nursery of the presthood."- The Novitiate So
ciety of Jesus established a few years later A
convent of Carmete Nuns in Charles county, Md.
then the only institution of that description, and
there was no regular Catholic school for the educa
ton Of females.
In 1908 the See of Baltimore was made an Arch
bishopric, and four sufragan bishoprics were es
tablished at Philadelphia, New York, Boston, and
nardstown. few years later prelate was ap-
pointed TO the vacant See Of New Orleans then a
part of the United States. In 1920, the Sees of
Charleston and Richmond we're established. The
College Of st. Mary's at Emmittsburgh, and others
in Missouri and Kentucky, were soon established,
also Female Academies at Georgetown,
Emmittsburgh, in Kentucky, at Boston, and New
Orleans. About 1880 the Sees of Cincinnati, ST.
Louis. and Mobile, were established. The force Of
the Catholic church. then claimed, numbered a
population Of five hundred thousand, to wit:

Ginghams, barege and muslin were thrown aside

Cashmere shawls, fur tippets and muffs-a rare
sight for New 0rlcans-were displayed on the
street by the ladies, from whose faces the rose had
fled to give undisputed sway to the lily. Gentle
men turned out in great coats, paletots and coaks
and some wore large scarfs around their necks,
reaching their chins, which reminded one Of a
stage driver in w-storm. lot Of Californians
who had just arrived with their thin coats and Pa
mama hats. were in strange contrast with the mufied
uy pedestrians.
Draymcn were seen with woollcn mittens, and
those who were not fortunate 10 possess a COW

fingers TO warm them. II was clustering day,
but bracing withsl, making the old feel young and
the young doubly alert and active. Every body
rushed along in double quick time, and. as we
stopped for a moment on Camp street, 20 view the
scene Of our fansmogrifed citizens. and their nim-

AN AWFUL RIDE ON A RAILRoAp.-One Of the
most interesting railroad incidents that has hap
pened lately took place on Tuesday, on the Maine
road. On starting from the depot in this city, an
Irishman thought that he could save the price of
HE passage by slowing himself away under the
cars, between the truck and the foor-a space
barely sufficient to admit mans body, the lower
part consisting Of the joists running engthwise Of
the cars. In this confined compass Pat slowed
himself. The cars started, and the "free passen-
ger'' for time cxulted in the trick. Soon the
speed began to increase-faster and aster went the
train-and colder and colder the wind rushed
through the aperture. Then the son of Erin began
to experience those awful sensations previous to
death by freezing. His hands, by which he had
held his body in its position, became benuinbed,
and he was momentarily in expectation of falling
from his place OF concealment and being crushed
under the wheels. After travelling about thirty
miles in this way, he began To knock with his heels
upon the car floor. The passengers becanc alarm
ed. not knowing from what cause the unusual
sound proceeded, and presumcd il the precursor
of some accident. Arriving at Rowley, the cars
were stopped-yct the knocking continued, but
with less force, for Pat had almost lost his con-
sciousness. An examination at once instu-
ted, and, after lengthy search. the unfortunate
traveller was found above described, severely
frostbitteu, and SO bcnumbed with cold that he
could not for some time artculate word. II ap-
pearcd that he was bound for Newburyport, the
fare for which place is but eighty cents and when
he became somewhat revived, he declared it was
the hardest days work he ever did. No doubt OF
if.--Bosfon Hsraid.

BLACIxwOOD's MAGAZINE
And the British Quarterly Reviews.


Owing to the late revolutions and counter reyo

have followed each other in such quick succession
and of which "he end 90 mot yet? the leading peri
odcals of Great Britain have become invested with
degree of interest hitherto unknown. They oc-
cupy middle ground between the hasty, disjoint-
ed, and necessarily imperfect records Of the news
papers, and the elaborate and ponderous treatses
be furnished by the historian at future day. The
American Publishers, therefore, deem it proper to
call renewed attention to these Periodicals, and
the very low prices at which they are offered to
subscribers. The following is their list, viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, and
BLACKWQOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals are contained the views, mod
erately, though clearly and firmly expressed, of the
three great parties in Engand--Tory, Whig. and
Radical. "Blackwood" and the .s London Quar-
terly'' are Tory; the Edinburgh Review" Whg;
and the 9" Westminster Review" Liberal The
g North British Review" owes its establishment to
the last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland,
and is not ultra in its views any of the grand
departments of human knowledge; it origin

death, Is conducted by his law, DIR. Hanna,
associated with Sir David Brewster. Its literary
character is Of the very highest order The "West-
