CATHOLIC CHINESE AMBAssADoR.-The
Washington correspondent of the Boston
Pilot says that Hoe -Ge-Tsching, one of the
Chinese ambassadors, and who is n pious
and exemplary Catholic, attended mass at
st. Aloysius Church, in this city, recently.
This distinguished diplomat is gifted with
his accomplishments in that line, he was in
vited by the leaders of the choir to take a
seat with its members in the gallery facing
the altar. AS the organ and choir are all
that could be desired, Hoe -Ge-Tsching ap-
peared to enjoy the fine anthems and sacred
airs very much.

lowed the rule of the brethren of Leruth,
having nothing of our own, and living by
the labor of our own hands," The abbot
listened attentively, and considering every
particular of the spot, he saw that it was
both most pleasant and beautiful, and also
admirably well fitted for the dwelling of
monks. He found little difficulty in per-
suading the hermits to choose a more per-
feet way of life, and to enroll themselves
among his community. And their former
benefactor, Henry de Lacy, used his inter-
est with William de Potion, lord of the ter
ritory, to make over to the monks the
valley, with all it's woods and water, SO
that in 1852 they were able to take posses
sion of it, and to commence the building of
that beautiful abbey, the ruins of which we
still admire. "Whatever we're the primitive
conditions of the place." says Stephens,
the continuer of Dugdale, SO for the Cister-
clan monks always founded their monas-
teries in places that had never before been
cultivated or inhabited, it was afterward
most pleasant seat, adorned with gardens,
dovecotes, etc., and whatever was either for
use or ornament; and also conveniently
situated on the banks of delicate river,
calm and clear, which has perhaps contri-
buted to the misnomer of the place, which
is frequently called ChristaA instead of

SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL.

We rarely allude to the operations of this
society, knowing the repugnance OF It's
members, whether at home or abroad, to
have it's works blazoned before the world
But. at the risk of giving offense, we arc
irresistibly led to make an extract from the
last Bulletin, demonstrating that charity
not only "suffereth long and is kind" but
is likewise ingenious in devising means to
nerform it's perfect work. In reading the
following, we are reminded OF the pool OF
Rethsaida, where the impotcnt man waited
long and wearily for some person to assist
him into the water, when its agitated sur
face betokened that the hour was at hand
when the Omnipotent arm was stretched
forth to heal.
We wish to say few words of the sea
baths, which the Conferences of Montpelier
have been the first to conceive and apply.
The Bulletin has already given, on several
occasions, interesting details of the organ
ization Of this work An omnibus service
has been established byour brothers for the
Door bathers. " An unexpected clrcum-
stance" they say, " has allowed the COM
mittee to obtain a saving of four francs for
each tourney. This has given room, for
third category OF bathers, which Is, that
without any increase of expense. nearly
ninety new invalids have been enabled to
take advantage of the organization of our
service two hundred and twenty persons
have had seats in the carriages, but nearly
a third of this number were only accompa-
nying and taking care of the sick-they
were mothers, whose presence was lndis-
pensable to their young children about
one hundred and fifty actually received
serious treatment. The preceding year,
which had been the best for some time,
instead of being two hundred and twenty,
there were only one hundred and forty.
Each sick person taking at least from fifteen
to seventeen baths the entire number is
.estimated at over two thousand. The ex-
Denses amounted to twelve hundred and
thirty francs, distributed thus: one hundred
omnibus journeys, at eleven francs-clevcn
hundred francs; rent tor boxes on the sea-
shore-eighty francs; gratuity to the su-
nerintcndent, one franc day-fifty francs
which make a total of twelve hundred and
thirty francs-which may be reduced to
twelve hundred francs net, in consequence
of a special gift of thirty francs. Some inn
nroyements are under consideration. We
wish. for the future, to inaugrrate the bath
iag season with n mass, at which all the
inSalids entered should assist, in order to
imprint a still more religious seal on this
work. and also to establish, in a very hum
bile degree, it is true, medical and hygi
.,nic inspections, which will contribute t'
secure the efficacy of the treatment"

PRoTEsTANTs ALARMED.-Sectarian jour
nails affect to despise the presence of Catho
lies in the United States, not only because
they are in q minority, but equally as
much for their humble position and def
cient education. Such is the theory. But
occasionally their real feelings are betrayed
as is evidenced from the following extract
taken from Beecher's paper, the Imdcpen-
dent:
There seems to be reason to fear that q
more vigorous attack is to be made by the
system of free schools. The German Catholic
Roman Catholics upon the unsectarian
Union, which recently met in this city, is a
well organized and enthusiastic army of lay
men, which is ready to enforce the we'll
known opposition of the priesthood to our
common school system. Three resolutions
which they passed will show their animus.
The first urges that Catholic children be
sent only to Catholic schools; the second
that each member "exert all his personal
influence that more good Catholics be ap-
pointed as teachers in the public Schools y
and the third resolution suggests to the
American Catholic Episcopacy "the pro-
priety of petitioning the State governments
to obtain a proportionate share of the school
fund in the State" for distinctively Catholic
schools.

PURCHASING A FARM.

Collector David Henshaw was kind
hearted man as we'll as able but, smart as
he was, on one occasion in doing generous
act lie was sadly taken in. An old customer
doing business in Eaton, New Hampshire,
had failed, owing to Mr.: Henshaw's firm
about $1,000. After settling with his other
creditors, he came to see Mr.. Henshaw.
"Well, sir" said the latter, "what can
"Have saved my farm for you, sir" re-
piled the unfortunate man.
''Your farm, hey" said Mr.. Henshaw
and what have you got left ~
"Well, sir, horse, pig, and COW, and
altogether I think they may bring me in
about seventy-ive dollars--sufficient, 1
where intend to settle. By the way, here's
the deed of the farm, sir" said the poor
but honest debtor, as he passed the docu
ment which certified Mr.. Henshaw's legal
right to two hundred acres of land, "more
or less," and long known as the "Cold
Stream Farm
"Oh, that will never do" says Mr.. Hen
shaw, and drawing his check for $500, he
handed it to his old customer, remarking
at the same time that he was sorry for his
misfortunes, and appreciating his integrity,
it gave him great pleasure to be able to at
ford him a little help at starting again.
The poor fellow was greatly surprised,
and reluctantly taking the check, with a
tear drop in his eye,n heartily thanked his
over generous creditor and departed, but
to be seen by Mr.. Henshaw never more.
About the first of pril following, Mr.. Hen
shaw thought he would go up to Eaton and
take look at his real estate there. Arriv
ing about dusk, he ''put up" at the tavern
kept by his old friend, Marsh, who, on hear
ing his guests errand, said he would go out
with him the next morning and show where
the farm lay.
Next day, soon after breakfast, they
sailed out to see it. After proceeding q
few rods the tavern keeper halted, and di-
recting his companions attention to bare

that that was called Bald Mountain.
"Thats u tough-looking place." said the

"Well, what's the good of it-what ii

merchant.
'The town sells it every year for til,

"and pray tell me who in these parts il
fool enough to buy that style of property p
get into trouble or fail, buy it for the pur
pose of settling with Boston creditors."
Mr.. Henshaw took the first opportunity
to return home, and, perhaps, would no
