andre de Girardin, father of the well-knewn
editor of La P9esse, says:
The Count de Girardin, Of whom M. Emile
is an illegitimate son, was born in 1776, and
was consequently seventy-nine years of age
lie was an officer in wars of the empire, and
many wonderful feats of daring are credited
to him, At Austerlitz with ten men. he
took four hundred prisoners and four pieces
Of cannon; at Osenio, in Spain, at the head Of
his regiment, he took division of three thou
sand men belonging to the corps of Romsna
at Monterey, in Portugal, destroyed corps
of four thousand men at Ostrowno with two
battalions Of infantry, he repulsed six thou
Russians; and at Champanbert and Mont
marail, in 1914, il that disastrous campaign
for France he was made General of Division
by the Emperor Napoleon, for having taken
eight thousand Russians one hundred and
sixty three superior officers, the Gener&l&n-
Chief, Olzuwief, and twenty-four pieces Of

as one ofthose inland parishes whose remote

affords her, places her on terms of equal if

1t is almost incredible the charge that has
been wrought in this parish within the short

owing to the circuitous rout Of travel from
Houma to New Orleans, we were detained
two, sometimes two and half DAYS in reach
ing our point of destination, now by Railroad
travel it is matter of a few hours only. We
go and return from the city the same day.
In ever single particular our Railroad will
compare favorably with the best of their
Northern roads. In point solidity, speed,
comfort, &C., it cannot be surpassed.
There is but one thing wanting in Terrs-
bonne in point of the public enterprise that
is communication between Houma and the
Railroad crossing. We trust that there is
sufficient public spirit among our capitalists,
to agitats the question of "a connecting branch
or plank or shell road. Who says a Joint

VINO RULES AMERICA =" Maryland, the

Transcript, "whers the Roman Catholic
Church gained footing, now contains 807
Protestant churches, and only 65 Catholic
congregations. In Florida the Catholics
early made settlement; now there are I7s
Protestant and only Catholic churches.
Louisiana was settled by tho Catholics, who
now have 55 churches in the State, while
the Protestants have 247 congregations. In
Texas the Catholics were the first sect in

TIE ElIISSARIES OF THE POPE"
DURING AN EPIDEMIC.

One Of the fundamental obligations Of
knoW-Nothingisln is uncomprohisng oppo.
sition to Catholicism. Every Know Nothing,
before being admitted into full fellowship
with the order, solemnly takes oath that he
will not vote for Roman Catholic nor ap-
point one Of that religious denomination to
any ofce which he may have in Ills gift. To
show the class of people against whom this
wretched spirit Of proscri ption is invoked, we
make room fer the following notice, which
appears in the Norfolk Argus of Tuesday
last. The reader need not be told that the
yellow fever is now prevailing in Norfolk to
an extent to justify the alarm which at present
exists in that city:
WORTHY OF ALL PRAISE. - Several
eases Of yellow fever having been announced,
the Sisters Of Charity connected with St
Patrick's Church, of this city, received note
yesterday from physician informing them
that their services, which had been offered to
attend the sick, were desired They replied
with commendable promptness, and in terms
expressive of a self-sacrificing devotion to the
cause of suffering humanity, and stated their
readiness to enter at once upon the work of
love and mercy. They add that their force
will probably be divided between Portsmouth
and Norfolk, and if needed, aid will imme-
diately be procured at Emmitsburg, so that
In case the fever shQpld unfortunately spread
in our city, the public may not want for care
full and experienced nurses to attend to the
bedsldeS of the sick, the suffering, and the
dying.
The angel Offices of these Sisters are not
confined to any sect or creed and they will
be found ready to watch by the sick bed of
their prosecutors as to smooth the pillow of
those who profess the same faith which they
SO beautifully illustrate by their heavenly !
practices.
