No REPUBLICAN MEETINGS HELD IN GEoR-
GIA.-It seems to be settled that Republic
can meetings cannot be held in Georgia, any
more than they could before the war. A dis
patch from Atlanta says that Republican
meeting was called to meet at Warrentou GU
the 18th inst and that the citizens of that
place declined to allow it, threatening violence
so vigorously that it was thought best to hold
the meeting outside the town. But even here
they were not permitted to go on in peace,
but dispersed upon learning the 800 or 400
armed men were marching upon them from

publican meetings in Georgia if Seymour
were elected? ...

-HgssANB MAG4sFRAfFs.-WFhfa hat would
be thought of Recorder Neville, OK Gasti-
mel, were they found following the example
of the Mansion House magistrates mentioned
below:
The young lad accused of posting up Fenian
placards on the London Mansion House, was
sentenced to pay forty shillings fine, or go to
Jail for a month. Catholic clergyman, with
the true spirit of priest, came forward and
paid the fine, stating that the boys parents
were very poor, and were unable to pay the
amount. Hereupon the worthy magistrates
1etook themselves to scolding the priest for his
benevolence and charity. They were sorry,
they said, the law did not allow them to send
the young prisoner to Jail without the option of
fine, and the priest was soundly rated for hi s
humanity in rescuing thoughtless youth from
the polluting influence of a month spent in the
society of the ruffians who fill the English jails.
1t was quite a disappointment to these model
justices, that they were not allowed to expose
the young culprit to the contamination of prison
but Father Brougham, who stated
the prisoner attended his schools, and was n
most inotfensive lad, will be sure, nevertheless,
to receive the sympathy of every liberal minded
man.

st. Joseph's New Church.

We hope our readers will not fail to re-
member the contest which comes off to-
morrow for -fremcn's- banner, on-the
promises of the new Church of st. Joseph's
parish, and in aid of the projected building.
The occasion will be one of great interest
and enjoyment. The ladies of the parish
have taken it under their special charge,
and, of course, it will necessarily be sue
cess. The rattle for splendid horse is to
take place at the, same time.
The times are hard, it is true, and as much
cannot be expected to be given toward any
work of charity or piety as in prosperous
days; but because we cannot give as much
is not reason why we should give nothing.
There is always some little retrenchmert of
luxury that can be made which will afford
~;ans to aid good cause, and there can
be no better time than Lent for sacrifices of
this kind. In Austria they gather rejected
-stumps of cigars in aid of charitablespur-
poses, and with wonderful results. Without
going to so much trouble here, each one
can still do good deal by using one or two
cigars the less, and contributing the price
saved to some good work that will not turn
to smoke.

One Of the poorest Of our parishes before

We do not remember ever to have seen
the freaks and follies Of Mardi Graz lessa ami

seemed partially refected upon the gro
tesque world of that day, to some extent
sobering its fantastic mex1iment. In no
other city. Of the United States does this
custom prevail to anything like the extent
known here. In Southern Europe, however,
there have been observances similar to this
existing for many centuries.
In old times the gaiety of the day partook
somewhat of the piety Of the age. Thus,
many of the assumed characters represented
saints and distinguished personages of the

faith, and everything, even the coarsest
amusements permissible, centered around
the church, and referred themselves in some
way to its Divine founder. q

to the Egyptian exile, and it was upon one
of the same species that the Redeemer rode
on his entry into Jerusalem.
In olden times the Carnival was called
the Feast of Fools, and the ass was the chief
hero of the occasion. He did not lose his
religious standing, however, and, in fact, the
whole proceeding vas, as usual, made to
connect itself with the church. There was
kind of Office, with singing, at the door of
the church, the choristers being the principal
actors in the ceremony. In the meantime
the patient animal stood quietly decked
with gilded ornaments, and if he happened
to bray, the amusement of the surrounding
crowd knew no bounds.
It may be difficult to reconcile all this |
with our notions of reverence, but the key
to the mystery will be found in the very I
perfection of their reverence, which knew no |
suspicion of disrespect. The simple faith
of that age permitted the relation of mother

and the people in it's completest sense Com

Thousands of children daily receive in
struction in worldly science from efficient
teachers, while at the same time their re-
ligious education il equally we'll provided
for, and their moral characters carefully
watched over. The cooperation of parents
in this good work cannot be too highly
praised. Though obliged by unequal laws
to support with their taxes an expensive
system Of public schools, from the benefit
of which they are declared by principle,
they voluntarily tax themselves again to
sustain another set Of institutions, where
edncation can be impaired without danger
to faith. . 11a4
They rightly consider that religion should
not be, ignored in the school Children
learn greatly by example, and the earliest
impressions are the deepest. They must be
taught that religion is an active principle
of hourly application, and learn to esteem
it from the respect, bestowed upon it by
their teachers. Catholic parents in New
Orleans generally recognise these truths,
and show their attachment to the cause
both Of faith and Of education in the sacri-
fees which they make in this regard.
