Father Foltlers Entertainments.

st. Vincent Of Paul's parish was enliven-
ed, last Saturday evening, by an entertain
ment gotten up by Rev. Father Foltier for
the benefit Of the benevolent association
connected with his parish. AZ usual With
the enterprises Of that venerable and ener-
getic clergyman, it was happy success.
His Practitioners know that this excellent
pastor will not allow them to be called on
for pecuniary contributions, except when
really necessary, and that when he proposes
entertaining them with anything of an
amusing character it will be well worth the
price of admission.
This confidence, on the part of his peo-
pie, was shown by the eagerness with which
on this occasion, they crowded into the hall
prepared for the performances, and filed it
to it's utmost capacity, although tickets of
admission were half dollar each.
The first piece was an amusing travestie
Of the serious drama, and obtained immense
applause from an amused audience. Hav-
ing, unfortunately, been deprived of pro-
gramme, we are unable to give any of the
names of the various performers in this or
the second piece.
| An excellent grafton was delivered by
w. B. kleinpeter, Esq, formerly professor
in the public schools of the city, and at
present a practising attorney. The SUBJ
ject-" Authority Though a very difficult
| one, was ably handled, and gave ap~ecca-
sion for the display of the orators graceful
gift of elocution.
| This was followed By another represent
$S,.<-
touches ofa~more pathetic character. h,
Tbishighly entertaining performance was
lgfven by young ladies>in excellent style,
concerning whose merits, however, we can
not give fuller details, owing to the acct
dent above mentioned.
The whole exhibition closed, as we are
informed, with tableau, of which we CAM
not speak appreciatingly, owing to unavoid-
able absence at an earlier hour.
We must say that the success of the I'M
dertaking was in great measure owing, 80
far as dramatic performances are concern
ed, to the address and good taste of Miss
B, who acted in the capacity of stage
manager. We congratulate Rev. Father
Foltier and his good society on the happy
results of their undertaking, financially and
otherwise, and hope that an enlightened
enterprise will continue to furnish our
Catholic population with pleasant evening
amusements, which may replace those Of
more dubious character, already SO CON-
mon and so pernicious.

The Fair.

the st. Josep!l's Hall, Common street, to
aid in building the new CHURCH, we found
everything going on ip~the most harmoni-
GUS and enthusiastic manner. The Hall is
tastefully decorated, and the stands are
covered with most attractive articles,
both for use and amusement. Mrs. Ross
and Mrs. McCabe, the lady of the popular
Chief Engineer of the Fire Department, met
us OF, our entrance and we were compelled
to take q chance in some magnificent
scheme from one of their young lady assist
ants. Passing on we came to the Phoenix
House, presided over by Mrs. B. Berkery,
the fancy stand adjoining being under the
charge of Mrs. McFarlane and Miss O'Neill.
Mrs. Bruning and Mrs. Henderberry admin
lister the affairs of Nos. five and six.
Mrs. Drennen has number seven, and Mrs.
McLoughlan is guardian of one of the most
interesting objects at the Fair-a small sill
ver-mounted glass case, with model OF the
Crib of Bethlehem. The upper end of the
Hall is adorned with n splendidly laid out
restaurant, under the charge of Mrs. Nolan
and Mrs. Sadler. They have everything
that the most fastidious epicure can call for
Mt the ordinary prices. Next to the restau-
rant, Mrs. Power, Mrs. Stewart, Miss Lizzie
Byrne, Mrs. Slemmer, Mrs. Fletcher, Mrs.
John Ford, and Mrs. Egan preside over sew
eral stands, assisted by Miss Egan and sew
eral other young ladies, whose names have
escaped us.
The Post Office is amiably and efficiently
administered by Miss Loftys, who dispenses
.:kI. A. kar> sr,nrR
ments of Uncle Sans officials, and whose
males never fail. We remarked, however,
that female correspondents were not so regu-
larly supplied.
Mrs. Mccartney, Mrs. Swarbrick and Miss
Gibbons dispense the Inequalities Of two
other stands, assisted by Miss Walsh and
Miss Gillen, and other interesting young
ladies. Mrs. Lynch takes charge of two
stands, assisted by Miss Kelly, Miss Gard
ner, Miss Marley and staff.
The eminent success of the Fair may bt
considered assured. We judge SO no
merely from the Incorporating zeal o
the lady managers and assistants, but from
the evidences of progress made under on
personal observation. Apart from this, pri
|
/ and bachelor attache of this Office, induce
the conviction that the wiles and artiffce
of the fair conspirators are much NOR
effective than would be discernible by tn
more staid and wary visitor.
, Our young friend above referred to in
. tended to be as liberal as a five dollar bill
3 would permit, but the first of those interest
f ing documents was soon followed by tire
y others. Here, however, our enthusiast
: friend of the fair was rewarded for his gal
t lantry, for SO well was his credit establish
: ed through his cash operations, by the tim
: he was broke, that he succeeded in goin
ten dollars in debt afterwards.
Those of our readers who have not ye
c participated in these home reunions of s.
|, Joseph's parish, will still have an opportu
# nifty during two or three evenings, of drop
+ ping in to see their friends. The New Year

R1CH.-The following is = part of the
testimony of Adjutant General Thomas
before the High Court of Impeach-
ment:
Mr.. BUTLER-I object to the CONVEX
sation between the Secretary OF war
and General Thomas at time which
we have not put in, because we put in
only the time when the other gents
were there, and this was something
which took place after they had with
drawn.
The CHIEF JUsTICE-If it was i'm
mediately afterwards, it was part OF
the same conversation
Mr.. BUTLER-DoeS General ThOm-
as say it was the same conversation
Witness-Mr. Stanton turned to me,
and got talking in very familiar man
ner with me; | said, the next time
you have me arrested, please don't do
it before l get something to eat
Laughter. Have had nothing to eat
or drink to-day. Continued laughter.
He put his arm around my neck, as he
used to do, in a familiar manner and
ran his hand through my hair, and
turned around to General Schriver and
said: "Schriver have you got a bottle
here? Bring it out" Roars of laugh
ter. Schriver unlocked his desk and
took out a small vial. The Secretary
then proposed we should have q spoon
fuI of whisky. | said | would like a
little. General Schriver poured it out
into tumbler and divided it equally.
Mr.. STANBERY.-He shared it then?
4. He took the glasses up this way
(indicatingl and measured them with
his eye, presently messenger came
in with a full bottle Of whisky, and the
cork was drawn and he and | took a
drink together.
Q. JVds that all tie force erhiJaed That

THE kC KLUX KHAN has carried
terror to the souls Of the Radicals
They are more frightened than was
F0rney in regard to the Maryland mil
itary. General Meade has issued an
order for their suppression, and it
would not be surprising if Congress
were to authorize General Grant to
call out the troops and annihilate these
desperate fellows. They ought to be
impeached, as soon as captured, at all
events. But while General Meade is
arraying the authorities against these
supposed monsters, would it not be
advisable to take in hand also the Ne
gro Loyal Leagues which are found by
thousands in all the Southern States,
and from which have emanated all the
evils with which that section has been
afflicted?
Why do not the authorities take hold
of the doings of the Grand Army of
the Republic, with Logan at its head?
If the Ku KluXians are as bad even as
they are represented to be, they are no
worse than the Loyal Leaguers of the
South, and if the one has existence,
and is to be beeXterminated, let tthe other,
which, it is well known, abOunds every
where in the South, share similar

THE "EIigh Old Court of Impeach-
ment," at Washington, is still in Sess-
ion. The solemn farce of trying the
President for "high crimes and misde-
meanOrs" continues from day to day.
At half past twelve the Court is opened
by ponderous proclamation from the
Sergeant-at-arms. A few minutes lat
er the House Managers are announced
with all the pomp and solennity Of
heavy tragedy men in a second class
theatre, and they march in, the ugliest
mugged set of miscreants pnhung, fol-
lowed by a small squad Of the Repre-
hensibles, much after the manner of
FalStaff's invincibles. The novelty of
the proceedings at first attracted large
crowds to the Senate galleries, but
latterly very little interest is manifes-
ted. The country seems to have be-
come disguSted with the whole affair.
Large numbers of the House of Rep
rehensibles, have gone home, leaving
scarcely q quorum to do business. Ste
vens, however, is at his post, doing
patheticalIy in his second infancy, at
the Managers table.
The other day General Thomas was
on the stand, to testify his knowledge
of the secret ways of Andy, and the
General, be it said to his shame, was
not at all awed, by the august presence
ofthe High Old Court" The pro-
ceedings seemed to have been turned
into sort of monkey show. Thomas
quizzed bIinky Butler and bliuky But
Ter quizzed Thomas, and it was hard to
tell which had the best of it. The
scene was rich, rare and racy, exceeding
any thing ever witnessed in Dan Rice's
Circus. Everybody laughed uproar-
iously, except the Chief Justice who
bemeaned himself with becoming dig.
nifty, Butler who leered and blinked
savagely and Stevens who sneered
satanicalIy. The rag, lag and bobtail
on the white side yelled, "Bully for
Thonas!" and the negroes cried, $50
in Ben - Ben went in, Thomas went
out, and the "High Old Court" took a
recess for fifteen minutes to straighten
their faces and take a drink in the
lobby.

Is GENERA l. GRANT \ DRCNKARD
This important and interesting con
undrum is now going the rounds Of the
Radical press-''Is General Grant a
drunkard?' The IndepeadeHtSHys he Is;
the -4ati-,S'are5y Standard says he is
the Revolution declares that he is a
drunkard; and Senator WILSON says
that he ''never saw him drink a glass
Of WiiIe"-ali Of which is direct testl-
mOny that General GRANT is a drunk
ard. But the Tribune Is the most will
ing of all these witnesses. We find in
that journal yesterday an account OF
an interview with the President,
wherein General GRANTS habits, in re-
spect Of inebriatiOn, We're fully discuss
ed, and from which we learn that the
President, on his trip to the West,
''didn't drink half as much as one or
two others about whom nobody" lex
cepting the editors of the Tribune, IN
dependent, RerOiutOjH, and SO on
''dareS 10 says a word" The Tribune
further intimate5 that when General
GRANT left the Presidential party at
Cleveland it was not because the Gen
eral was disguised with the Presidents
politics, for in fact ''he Wasn'tin cOndi-
ton to know much about politics just
then" To be sure, the Tribune has
heretofore taken the other view of thir
affair at the West, but then it has eX
pressed diamctriCally opposite opii-
ions in the ss,nAe- week with regard t.
its own circulation in that region. But
in respect Of General GRANTS drunk.
enness the Trjbi1ae is explicit; it pub
fishes the statement that GRANT has
called on the President so drunk thai
he couldn't stand on his legs" but
that is nothing Grant at the head and
front of Cranberry patch party "cOulO
last Monday ;only it is cruel for The
Tribune to mention it. But it Is mag.
unanimous in the Tribune to come to the
charges, though it cruelty stabs GRANT

abused like the devil' the Tri6ullt
might have drawn it a little milder, but
