rancifuI Masking.

f,aa If our coselnporafi IL charmed At
i the perfection with VIII sh certain characters
were repressnted and SUSTAINED at o n,asiz
BAN ON an evening Of last week The
/ characters represented were those Of q band
| Of Sisters of Charity headed BY q priest.
We may be thought hypercritical, but Il
strikes us that theproduction Of such char

less, no matter how perfectly sustained OF
how free from iisrespecs in the intention Of
the parties. = s8
The character of nun or priest, or other
person specially devoted to the service OF
God, is considered sacred. Not only is this
SO among Catholics, but the polite and lib
eral of other creeds extend to such yoca-
lions q certain reverence. similar In nature
tif not in extent. We do not imagine for a
moment that the elegant and highly bred
ladies and gentlemen, to whom reference is
here made, for an instant intended to carl
catare the personages whom they assumed
to reproduce. We simply think that sacred
and religious objects were out of place in q
mask ball in New Orleans. Z

lis never seen in places of amusement,
especially of so extteme grade as mask
balls. Her sphere is the school, the asy-
Ium, the hospital, the bedside of misfortune
and suffering. She does not provide for
the amusement of the gay, to the sound of
music and sreyelry, but ministers rather
amid more solemn scenes, wiping, perhaps,
4. y -. -
the cold drops from the brow of some dying
stranger to the only sound of her own nsur-
injured prayers.
There is fitness due in all things. The
character of priest or nun may be some
times properly introduced in dramatic re-
whore the surroundings are
and some lofty or religious
theme is TO be illustrated with the proper
clements of awe and reverence; but where
all is necessarily levity and friyolity, there
is no great moral lesson intended to bq
taught, no reverence to be awakened, no
appropriateness in the Introduction of
sacred objects. @

Baptism of Dr.. coIgin,s Family.

On the evening of the 10th inst, in st
Joseph;s Church, of this city, we witnessed
an interesting eereniony--the administra.
ton of Baptism, .br the Rev. j. W McNa.
mara, G. NJ, to seven persons belonging tc
the fathily ola New Orleans physician.
After the usual Lehten devotion, and in
i presence of an immense congregation, the
family of George j. Colgin, NJ. D., came for
/ ward to the Altar, soliciting admission to
the Fold of Faith. They had been under
instruction for some time previous, and it
seif--who is highly educated and respect-
ape gentleman advance and present his
wife and children to the clergyman await
ing them at the Baptismal Font. This was
the more noticeable, as Dr. Colain 10 not
himself Catholic. He had lately haor
from home, and during his absence the wife
ana children manifested their desire IN be
received into the Church. The priest .bova
named, to whom the lady communicated
TINS desire, furnished her, of course. With
more ample facilities of becoming acoua;nt-
ed with Catholic doctrine, but. at the son,
time, advised her to defer the Baptisn, mill /
upe return of her husband. s
On mis- return, having learned his fam;.
iy's inclihations, DIR. CoIgin visited Tho
priest, and announced to him the pIaas;no

The Cardiff Giant-"John Henry Cardiff"
the Hartford Post facetiously calls it--has
met with speedier exposure than most OF
its guild are wont to encounter. Fate has
not left the author of the swindle without
consolation, reimbursing them many fold for
the S2500 paid for the gypsum image in far
of Iowa and for its subsequent transporta-
ton and sculpture, besides giving them a
niche in the temple of fame with Barnum
and the author of the Crosby Opera House
swindle. The men of Cardiff avow item
selves to be arrant rogues and thereby make
themselves as respectable and honorable as
rogues can be.
Alas that all our great humbugs, animate
and inanimate, do not exhibit the same alac-
rlty in getting themselves exposed so that
everybody will see them exactly as they are
There, for instance, is Commodore Wander
bilt, with bis millions acquired in all sorts of
unrighteous ways, getting many honest men
to sing p@ans in his praise and to fall down
before the brazen image of himself that he has
set up on the Hudson River depot He ap-
pears to be world-bestriding colossus in his
intellectual stature, all because he is able to
wrest from his fellow men far more than his
proportion of the common estate of mankind
by long years of bullying, cheating, over
reaching, watering railroad stock and gam
bling. Here is giant much worthier of ex-
posure and execration than his quiet Excel
lency of Cardiff
And James Fisk, Jr., small but growing
edition of Vanderbit,-he that lays his hands
upon railroads, steamboat lines and manulac-
tories on all sides,-James Fisk, the glorified
and gilded tin-peddler cf Manhattan-when
are we to have an authentic declaration of his
souriousnessa Many, perhaps most, people
suspect it, as they did "John Henry's," but no
doubt many others are losing money on him
still.
A more remarkable giant than we have yet
mentioned is the one of European celebrity,
who processes himself to be a faithful copy Of
his putative uncle and at the same time the
first Caesar done in French clay. Louis Bon
aoarte, perjurer, traitor and murderer, ah,
what costly giant he has been to France and
to the world!
Aud the English have mild giant ''saving
up" for them in the person of the Prince of
Wales, who behaves so badly that some kind
Providence may nip him in the bud, so far as
his political prospects are concerned, before he
gets his full growth.
Local giants, we have, in plenty, even here
in Maine. For the present we ignore them.
Nobody is giant to his neighbors, and they
would perhaps seem inconsiderable if We
should mention them. One or two we have
taken special note of with view to putting
them on their proper pedestal il their contin-
ued activity should seem to require it.

his contempt for humbug and pretension, his
self-reliance and his purity of purpose, and all
with charity and tenderness touched upon
what were regarded as his frailties and short
comings. There were those who in his life
time thought him cold and naughty, but those
associates who to-day laid flowers on his grave
have made it imp possible that this should again
be said to his dspraise.
