Notice to the Community,

On the Thirtieth of May, last Sun
day of this month, two Redemptorist
Fathers will open a mission in the
Church of ST. FRANCIS XAVIER, Alex
andria, and during TEN days, deliver
instructions and perform various relis-
ibtis exercises. On Tuesday the 9Th of
June, the Right Reverend Bishop of
Natchitoches will administer the Sac
rament of Confirmation. The order of
the Redemptorists was founded in 1882,
by ST. Alphonsus Liguori, who being
ayouns lawyer of repute in the King
dom of Naples, had given up the world
with its bright prospects to devote
his talents, energies and life to his God
and to his fellowmen. St Alphonsus
designed his order to preach missions
for the purpose of awaking men from
their apathy in regard to their eternal
salvation, of impressing them with the
sense of their Christian duties, and
instructing them in the chief doctrines
of their religion. It is with these in
tentions that the fathers come here.
Though, Catholics be the first object
of their solicitude, still they are most
kindly disposed towards everybody,
ready to converse with any person who
calls on them, and help him to find ont
the right way, and to save his soul.

An African Paradise.

A"o oFohIo HoW ocCuIriuS III the is
land of Cuba lire of 1ii6mentbus impof
/ lance. The insurrection which La
been raging for some time past, vii
probably end in either the independents
of the island or its purchase by tn
United States, whose agents are al
ready On the Qui ,1vs for the acquisi
ton of more =" MEN and brethren t,
metamorphose into Radical voters.-
In either event the abolition Of Cuba,
slavery is a foregone conclusion.
| The annexation of Cuba woult
doubtless exercise an important infiu
ence on the negro population of til,
United States. Many of them, If they
could obtain the means, would volun
tarily emigrate thither, attracted b,
the reports of the ability Of tile negro
to live in Cuba without work. Others
would be induced by thrifty and ava
ricious Yankees to 60 for the purpose
of obtaining labor on the sugar planta-
tons. But neither the negroes now in
Cuba, nor those which should emigrate
to tie island from the United States
would ever perform any great amount
of labor Under any other SYSTEM than
that of slavery. The history of St.
Domingo abundantly proves this pro-
position. Once in Cuba the necessity
of work would not be of SO urgent a
nature as to stimulate the naturally
incident and slothful African to unre-
hitting labor. The climate is such as
to render clothing wholly unnecessary,
and food can be obtained all the year
round without much exertion. Banan-
as and Oranges flourish spontaneously,
and the earth produces bread in profu-
sion with very little labor bestowed on
its cultivation. With these the negro
would be perfectly contented and could
thus have n1ne-tenths of his time to
bask in the sunshine in the most bliss
full Incidence. ii+->ihs 5}a.e-l
We, therefore, suggest to our sover-
eign "men and brethren" that Cuba
is veritable paradise for the African
race. Let them watch anxiously the
denouement of the present political
trouble in that happy island. And if
indeed the revolution should seem to
march at too slow pace, let those who
80. III = 10
fought nobly" during the late war,
AXE a hand in it and accelerate the
much to be desired consummation.-
We believe in Cuba for the Africans
We believe that in the "Queen of the
the negro race would reach
is highest development. Ifthey could
MY all get there and keep ont the
Yankee carpet-baggers there is no say
ng to what a high state of cultivation
hey might not attain. aessy ff.t'a..sl

RADICAL OFFICE=SEEKING,

For tiiaiiy years past the nationa
Capital at the commencement of every
administration, has presented a most
disgusting spectacle. Hungry office
seekers from every part of the country
have flocked thither for the purpose OF
getting their reward for services in the
political campaign which elevated the
new President to his Office. But all
prior scenes of this kind sink into utter
insigniGcance when compared to that
which the country has just been called
to witness. All the highways and by
ways Which lead to the capital were
thronged with these DISTINGUISHED pa
trlots, and so great was the crowd that
stranger might have supposed that
the american people were engaged in a
pilgrimage to SOME sacred spot instead
Of to the modern Sodom which stands
on the banks of the Potomac. Every
nook and corner in every public house
in Washington, which could hold a hu-
NAH body, was filed with some patriot
anxious to serve his country and reap
his reward for loyalty to Radicalism
and devotion to Black Republicans prin-
ciples. 1t is estimated that, for every
office with salary attached there were
at least a hundred applicants, and for
some there were over one thonsand.-
Some of them hardly knew what they
wanted, and were willing to take any
thing, like Mr.. Marcy's applicant, from
a first class mission down to a pair of
old breeches. Not only was the Presi-
dent bored to death by these individu-
ais in person, but all the Radical Sen
ators and Representatives have organ
lied themselves into great joint stock
company of office-brokers and lend
their influence to obtain office, some
times for q money consideration and
for remuneration of other
kinds. Even the mistresses of Con-
gressmen use their charms in this dis
traffic. yis
tbs no wonder that General Grant
should himself sigh for some quiet
place in the country where he could
lever again be dragged to Washingto
t is no wonder that some of the more
lecent Radical Senators should have
become SO disgusted rs to rise in their
,laces in the Senate and denounce the I
Vhole thing as disgrace to the Repub-
ic. Unless some remedy is found for I
t the country will go to destruction.- 3,
instead of repeating the "Tenure of ,
)ffice Act" some act would much bet
or be enacted to prevent this change i
+ officers at the commencement Of q
ach administration. The political y
rinciple "to the victors belong the i
polls" has done enough damage to be t
hanged for one which shall not bring
much disgrace upon American pol
les and American pOliticians. .-t-iIiGafI

~ We are pleased to learn that the
young men of our Town have organ
iscd debating club to be called the
"Phoenix Literary Society,"" The en-
terprise deserves encouragement. If
young men have no opportunities of in
tellectual culture they are exposed to
temptations which lead to dissipation
and idleness. The best safe guard
against vice is to lead the young into
the way of more rational enjoyment.
From the character of those who have
the Phoenix Society in hand we

Young men in and around Alexandria.
