The morning star and Catholic messenger. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1868-1881, 1869-05-02

Rersreaa and Dear Sir--Amoug the works
of charity which do honor to our diocese and
console us in our ministry, there is one es-
tablished within the last few years, in order to
supply o want long and grievously felt. We
refer TO st. Yincent,s Home, for destitute boys,
who not being admissible into the asyiums for
ycunger children, would be abandoned in the
midst of vice and corruption, and exposed to
be miserably lost, here and hereafter
Unhappily, this establishment, fOunded and
hitherto chiefly supported by the Society of
ST. Vincent of Paul, has not met from the
public at large that support which we were
led to expect.
The Directors inform us by letter, that, if
not sufficiently, aided they shall be obliged to
close the institufion--though it contains
at present sixty four destitute boys. 1t
would be q source of shame and grief to u.s.
and, doubt not, to you also, Rev. and dear
sir, and to your faithful flock, did it become
necessary, through want of resources, to throw
those poor boys back again into the midst of
the worlds dangers, there to become, pest to
society and disgrace to the Church, whereas,
with little help, we might make of them
worthy citizens and good Christians.
In this extremity, while awaiting the time
when we shall be able to place this establish
ment on permanent footing, we are obliged
to have again recourse to public charity.
~ We therefore, ordnin that q collection IN
favor of this institution be made in all the
churches of the diocese, on the 9th of May, the
Sunday within the Octave of the Ascension, or
ON the following Sunday, should this letter not
be received in due time. In your appeal on the
preceding Sunday, please enter into some
details on the nature and object of an institu-
titn, not appreciated up to this time, according
to it's merits.
We remain, Rev. dear sir, yours faithfully in
Christ, 3szssf3 JOHN MARY, 80

DEATH OF JOHN H. Wilson, Eso.-It is
our painful duty to record, this week, the
death of John 81. Wilson, Esq, one OF our
most prominent and highly respected citi-
zens and the oldest member, we believe, of
the Abbeville Bar. Mr. Wilson had been n
sufferer, for several months, from stroke
of paralysis. which ended his earthly career
on Friday morning last. He was in his
sixty-hfth year, and had been successful
practitioner at this bar about forty Years,
He has left many warm friends, in whose
circle he was beloved for his kind and alta
BILE disposition. and admired for the great
legal attainments with which he adorned
his profession. His funeral was preached
in the Methodist Church, by the Rev. Man
ming Brown, on Saturday morning.

One of the most marvellous examples of
rapid growth in recent times is furnished in
the case of the infant city of CHEYENNE.
Wyoming Territory. On the 4th of July,
1867, 1T consisted of single house. Now
it boasts population of 1000. It has six
boot and shoe stores, five drug stores, eight
dry goods stores, three clothing stores. five
wholesale groceries, three hardware and
cutlery stores. three restaurants and game
stores, four stationery and Yankee notion
firms, six Wholesale liquor dealers and four
tobacco and cigar stores, besides twelve
other firms engaged in various branches of
business. There are four hotels, eight law
yers and seven physicians in the place.
Four papers, three daily and one weekly.
are published in Cheyenne. The Union
Pacific Railroad passes through it, and four
lines of telegraph radiate from it, It con-
tains one very fine church, (Catholic,) and
three or four other denominations are about
to erect houses of worship. Formerly,
when the Union Pacific Railroad had its
terminus there, the town was oyer-run with
disreputable women to the number of 500
or more. but large proportion of them
have followed the road on to its next termi-
nus. The youthful city supports large
number of ar>bling hells, several dance
houses, museum and theatre, all in full
blast. The Union Pacific Company are
building machine shops there. which, when
completed, will employ some 5000 hands.
The ranchmen, miners, farmers and stock
men of Idaho, Utah, Montana, Nevada
Dacotah and Oregon buy the bulk of their
goods at Cheyenne.
