JUVENILE vAGABoNDIsM.

There have always been and
there will always be parents who
neglect or mismanage their offspring;
who seem to exercise no sway over
the domestic altar, no parental solicit
tude for those whom nature designed
to be a prop and comfort to their de-
clining years, and a benefit instead of
curse to mankind. Such parents
bear a reproach, which, whenever it
is possible to reach them, deserves
to be brought home to them in its
fullest realizing sense. If they can
not be brought to feel their accounta.
bility to society, through the force of
public opinion, such laws as are made
and provided to meet their cases,
should be invoked, and the proper
penalties melted out to correct the ex.
isting abuses.
The decentralization entailed upon
communities by that loose, iaissc1
Jaire style of training which some pa
rents adopt toward their children, but
which amounts to no training at all,
is perfectly, appalling. 1t fills the
world with all sorts Of crime, our jails,
penitentiaries and poor houses with
criminals and outcasts, and disgraces
the very name of Christianity and civ
,ilization. Imbecillty is the only
ground upon which such reckless dis
regard Of proper cbild-training can be
excused or palIiated, and where such
mental defect is apparent, law Of
Introduction might very properly be
applied to place the child under some
tutelage in order to rescue it from a
fate Of worthlessness and ruin.
We have been led to the foregoing
reflections from seeing 10 our streets
so many vagrant children, white and
black, who need the restraining and
protective influences of some stronger
arm than that thrown around them by
their parents or guardians, if so be it
they have any relatives or friends
worthy to be called such. A House
of Refuge, to which could be con-
signed those specimens of juvenile de-
pravity, where they could be taught
some useful calling and have their
vicious habits changed, would prove
blessing. Society owes it to itself, to
provide ways and means for retaining
the abandoned and proAigale of
every age and sex. 1t is of infinite
importance that this duty be reIig-
iously fulfilled toward those Of the
rising generation who are going astray,
and who, if left to their fate must be-
come unqualified nuisances and pests
to the communities they infest.

The MANNERS OF THE MoTHE

The MANNERS OF THE MOTHER
MOULD THE CHILD.-There is no
disputing this fact it shines in the
face of every little child. The coarse,
bawling, scolding woman, will have
coarse, vicious, bawling, fighting
children. She who cries on every
occasion an box your ears-I'll
slap your jaws-I'll break your
neck" is known as thoroughly
through her children as if her I'M
womanly manners were openly dis
played in the public streets!
These remarks were suggested by
the conversation in an omnibus-that
great institution for the students Of
men and manners between a friend
and a school master. Our teacher
was caustic, mirthful, and sharp.
His wit flashed like the polished
edge Of diamond, and kept the
"bus" in a "roar."
The entire community of in
siders-and whoever is intimate with
these conveyances can form pretty
good idea of our numbers inclusive
of the cone more" so we'll known to
the fraternity, turning their heads,
eyes and ears one way, and finally
our teacher said II can always tell
the mother by the boy. The urchin
who draws back with doubled fist
and lunges at his playmate if he
looks at him askance has a very
questionable mother. She may feed
him and clothe him, cram him with
sweetmeats, coax him with promises,
but if she gets mad she fights. She
will pull him by the jacket; she will
give him a knock in the back she
will drag him by the hair; she will
cali him all sorts of wicked names,
while passion plays over her red
face in lambent flames that curl and
writhe out at the corner of her eyes.
"And we never see the courteous
little fellow with smooth locks and
gentle manners in whom delicacy
does not detract from courage or
manliness, but we say that boys
mother is q true lady. Her words
and ways are soft, loving and quiet.
If she reproves, her language is
my son'-not you little wretch
you plague of my life-you tor
ment-you scamp ,"
She hovers before him as q pillar
Of light before the wandering Israel
ties, and her beams are reflected in
his face. To him the word mother
is synonymous with everything pure,
sweet and beautiful. Is he an artist :
In after life that which with holy
radiance shines on his canvas, will
be the mothers face. Whoever fits
across his path with sunny smiles
and soft, low voice, will bring
"mother's" image freshly to his
heart. "She is like my MOTHER"

AN IRISH CATHOLIC JOURNAL ON
THE FENIAN MoyEMENT.-The New
York Freeman's Journal in a recent
issue remarks
There is no room, whatever, here,
for indulging in sentiment, or glori-
flying in seeing poor Irishmen pittied
in battle against British troops.
Putting aside all questions Of its mo-
rality, it is placing Irishmen in a
material point of view, that, with all
their known gallantry in battle, they
have not even q chance of winning.
To the extent that this Fenianism
can be taken as representing Irish
men, it is to put them in a trap,
where victory is sure thing for
their opponents. We know how
cruel it is, sometimes, to human feel
ings, to have the truth told, but it is
the part of a friend, in a matter like
this, to tell it 5! This isfar away from
being 'Ireland's opportunity 1t is
rather, England's opportunity to
crow and triumph wrongly, over Ire
land!

The ATLANTIC CABLE.-Up.
wards of 900 miles Of the new Allan
tic telegraph cable has been slowed
on the Great Z stern. About so
miles per day were stowed away, the
work proceeding day and night.
1t was found that the Great East
ern will not be able to take all the
necessary cable, 27o0 miles, on beard.
The screw steamer Medwa conse
quently, has been chartered to take
about 500 miles of the old cable from
the Great Eastern.
Another steamer, the Albany, is
also engaged to assist the enterprise,
and the British Government has
again granted the services of the war
steamer Terrible, to accompany the
exhibition. Each of the three steam
ers are TO be furnished with graphing
apparatus, so that the old cable may
be grappled at points mile apart to
break the strain and give greater Sc
curity. The Great Eastern will only
partially coal at Sheerness, owing to
her great draft of water. She is ex-
pected to quit the harbor June %,
and start day or two after for Beer
haven, Ireland, where she will complete
coaling, and proceed to lay the cable.
Contracts NOT AFFECTED BY
SECESSION In our statement of the
case OF Miller vs.. Frank, there was
an error which we correct, as it
shows that the question presented
extends further than our report indi-
Gates. The property now under dis
cussion was sold by Mr.. Bayne to
Mr.. Frank on the 10th of September,
1861, nearly a year before the act Of
confscation was passed, but after the
ordinance of secession. The view
taken by the counsel for Miller, is,
that the sale was invalid because it
was made after the ordinance of Sc
cession. If this view is correct it
will affect large number of titles
made by persons who have never
been in Confederate service, and who
have never aided the rebellion, ex-
cept so far as such aid results from a
residence in Louisiana after the act
of secession. The act of Congress
denominated the confscation act was
passed on the 18th of July, 1862.
1t would seem to be clear that titles
made anterior to that act cannot be
affected by it.-New Orleans Pcia.

An UnruIy Elephant.

Some months ago, we noticed a ramble
taken by the celebrated elephant Romeo
attached to Forepaugh's Circus and Menage-
RE, through the upper part of this city, du-
ring which that huge animal was very success
full in piling up for his owner quite an extern
sive bill, in the way of demolished buildings,
broken cars and disconnected fences. At that
time Romeo enjoyed almost clear feel of
operations for several miles, and bis march
was unimpeded, except by an occasional tree
that came in bis path, and these were snapped
from their roots like pipe stems. There was
nothing to prevent the beast from having his
spree fairly out, which he did in much
shorter time than would have paci6ed him in
confined quarters. Then his keeper, following
close after rife shot, led Romeo tamely from
the field. Another fit of madness has taken
possession of him within the last few days,
which bids fair to give more trouble than the
one above referred to. After peaceable resi-
dence of many weeks at Tenth and Callow-
hill streets, Romeo has for several days past
given decided signs of his displeasrre. Last
Sunday night he became very restless, and
his quiet title companion Juliet was made the
victim of his i'll temper. Poor, unoffendng
Guile" was taken up in his trunk and in the
shortest time possible cas-, through solid par
tition, several inches thick, and was gathered
up in the horse stable. a
The noise awoke all persons about the es-
adjustment, and his keeper, Mr.. Craven as
well as all the other employees, numbering
over $50 persons, were summoned to the mad
scene. Means were at once taken to secure
the infatuated Romeo Roars, puffs and other
warlike demonstrations with his trunk gave
matters a troublesome appearance. His keep
er appeared before him, but Romeo knew
him not--the elephant was unapproachable
Pixies and other weapons were brought into
use by the small army that besieged him, and
in the conflict a goad in the hands of the keep
er was fastened in the elephants ear, which is
one OF the quickest correctives in ordinary
times. Nothing could be done by exercising
moderate violence, and several rife shots were
fired into him. some taking effect in the lower
part of the head and trunk, while one pierced
the right eye, which, it is feared, is destroyed.
This harsh treatment partly stunned the
mammoth beast, and the use Of ropes and Crap
Piles soon put him in position which permit
ted his being made fast Heavy chains were
wound about his feet SO that he was totally
helpless, and these connected with bar firm
ly imbedded in substantial mason work sever
al feet deep, placed the ungallant Renee be-
yond doing further damage. The animal is
by no means yet subdued, nor will he be until
he is either starved, or until other very ex-
treme measures are taken to bring him into
proper obedience. Philadelphia Age.

safety of a shipwrecked Crew.

Among the vessels for some time past sup
posed lost in the gales of January, was the
schooner Edwin Reed, from Philadelphia,
with coal fer Boston. Capt. Doane writes
from Gibraltar that he had reached Block Is
land, Jan. 7 at A. M. when the E. N. E.
gale struck him; he ran for Newport, but
could not make it, and hove to, vessel badly
iced up. At 8 P. M. the sea took the boat
from the davits, and the vessel was leaking
badly, all hands at the pumps. Same night
blew away sails, aud next morning shipped
sea, stove forward house, &C. Kept off be-
fore the gale, losing one sail after another I'm
til there was nothing but piece of jib and
topsail left. Covered with ice and rolling
very badly, all on board were fearful that
"their time had come" but on the morning of
the 18th, the Hanoverian brig Berge, from
New York for Constantinope, hove in sight
and kept company until the 18th, before the
heavy sea would admit of communication,
when all hands were rescued and landed at
Gibraltar, Feb. 18th. Capt. Doane and his
mate belong at Cape Cod, Vessel owned in
Boston and on the Cape. r.... ss ~
The above gives fresh reason to hope for
the safety of the crew Of the brig Sarah Good
now, and schooner Courier, which were caught
in the same gale, having left Homes Hole for
