FUNERAL RITES OF BISHOP RAMIREZ--FEom

in the church at that place for the repose of
the soul of the Right Rev. Francisco Ramirez,

of several scientific societies in his native land,
Mexico. His laboTs missionary extended

THE EUTURE OF THE DIsEsTABTTsHED
CHuRcH.-A good deal appears in the papers paper
as to the probable fate of the disestablished
Church of Ireland, which has been "sent into
the DESERT (to nse the current phrase,) with
only about ten millions worth of property
The Star remarks that the radical vice of tho
Estab4ishnfent--its minority eharacter-will be
the special difficulty in organizing the new
Church body. With a church in every parish,
and, If the communication scheme works
pecuniary support derived from 1iyings in all
parts of the country the new Church body
win have to apply the means and men at its
disposal to the purposes of communion the
members of which are chiefly limited to The
north of Ireland and the large towns. This is
the distinctive difficulty in the case. If the
leaders OF the Irish Church practical men
they will perceive that the conditions of such
u problem will be met by such ductile ap-
pliances as were employed by Methodism when
it was first consolidated into a great Church
either of the English parochial SUSTAIN or of
the Scotch Free Church. The Standard says
that, resigned to fate which WAS not to be
averted, Irish Anglicaps will gather courage
and determination to strengthen their Church
as much as possible. But if anything could
warp the Irish Professionals from wholesome
temper like this, if anything could keep alive
the sense of wrong and the passionate irrita-
ton which it cngenders, it wotld be found in
the peculiar kind of paternal and aheCtfOnGte
consolation now. being addressed to them by the
Times and Others. 1t should he enough for the
radicals and their organs that the Church has
occasion to Insult her and her indignant sons
with protests that she has not been wrouged
at ALL and ought to be rather thankful than
otherwise for the precious boon" of dis
establishment and "the tender mercies" of dis
endowment. The Standard points out that this
sort of argument leads to an obvious conclusion.
If dsestablishment- aRd disendowment are
such mighty instruments for promoting the
efficiency of Church, why was the beneficent
remedy withheld from the Church of England
But if it was an instrument of healing designed
for the building up and strengthening of the
Protestant Church in Ireland, upon what ground
are English Protestants to be excluded from
similar fayors The Daily Ne1rs observes that
it would be vain 10 expect all at once great and
startling results even from measure of signal
justice. The change for the better will first be
conspicuously discernable in the generation
which will grow mp, and the character of
which will be formed, under the new conditions
which the legislation of the present Parliament
is creating. In the present and the immediate
future we shall sec chiefly the fruits of the
past.

The Weather.

We are now in the hottest season of the
summer. The days are not so long as they
have been, but the heat is being added to n
supply already accumulated, and the fro
zen resources of the last winter are now
totally exhausted in past contests with the
sun. IF anything, an air from the north
is more scorching now than the southern
breeze itself. Away up to Canada and be-
,yond its borders, August is in the ascen-
dant, painting and fiery. No relief from
the parched plains of Illinois or the lime
stone furnace of Tennessee and Kentucky.
BY preference, give us the soft, wooing
air that comes from the tropics, kissing the
tops of the waves on its way. How pleas
antly it fans the moist brow and lifts the
damp hair! New Orleans is said to be a
more agreeable summer sojourn than cities
or countries in the upper latitudes, but it
would be far more so were it not for the
capacity of brick walls and square block
paven1ents to collect and intensity heat.
1t is pretty bad to have the normal tenn
perature of the atmosphere at 80 degrees,
but to feel the pavement scorching your
feet through the soles of your shoes, and to
be staggered back from a brick wall by its
Siroceo breath, is certainly; an artificial
aggravation of the situation better to be
escaped if possible.
If it can't be escaped all the time, as by
running off to sea-shore and forest for the
season, an occasional respite at least is OF
great advantage. A little trip down the
Pontchartrain Railroad, with an hour or
two of evening breeze on the wharf is good;
a trip across the lake and back is better.
The air is purer and more ipvigorating
the strength and life are not baked out OF
it by the great city oven of brick and stone.
Such trips cost very little-they is par

comfort, amusement and health, are far
greater than that obtained from a similar
investment in bar-rooms. Everywhere
people are in the habit of persuading them
selves that they can't, afford the expense OF
things not absolutely necessary, but very
often they would find by experiment that
little liberality in personal comfort is the
best economy as well as the stmorality

BISHOP GBDoNs IN NORTH CARoIINA.--The
respected young Vicar Apostolic of North
Carolina, (says the Baltimore Mirror,) is doing
good work in his diocese, winning hearts
wherever he goes, and gaining golden opinions
among liberal-mfnded Protestants of all de-
nominations. The subjoined article from the
Charlotte On. CD Times, is remarkable for its
Christian spirit. Give Catholicitya fair hearing
instead of denouncing it blindly, is all we ask
of our dissenting brethren
"Right Row. Bishop Gibbons, of the Catholic
Church, lectured on Thursday night to large
congregation on several doctrinal points, enl-
braced in the Catholic faith. His style is chaste
and clear, and his manners pleasing. We think
he made favorable impression on the very
intelligent and Rpprecintiye audience, who
were attracted by his reputation to hear him.
There is too much acrimUuy and bigotry aud
too little charity in the Christian. Church. Too
many are governed by pFejadiees and not by
reason, and thus attach themsel yes to this or
that dogma, without Investigation or really

ST. ALoYsIUs ENTERTAINAIENT.-T first
of the series of dramatic entertainments to
be given by the Literary Association Of st.
Aloysius came off in due time last Friday
evening. We were really surprised at the
favorable attendance attracted, notwith-
standing the extreme heat of the weather.
Theatricals, especially where the windows
are small and the flooring near the ground,
are not generally in much esteem during
the dog days. Notwithstanding all this,
however, there was a fine audience present
on the occasion referred to, and one which
appeared to be fully satisfied at being
present.
"Ten Nights in q Bar-room," the piece
performed, has some effective passages,
which were well presented. In fact, some
of the acting appeared to us far more
nearly up to nature than is usual with
amateur performers. We can safely say
that every character, without exception,
was well sustained. The after-piece of
Handy Andy" was unfortunately omitted.
MANY of the audience ON all such occasions,
especially children, attend for the sake Of
the g farce" and it is disappointment to
them to miss it. We are informed that the
omission of last Friday evening was not
through any fault of the management, and
no doubt experience will enable the AS
ISOLATION in the future to guard against
mishaps of the kind. Fortunately the
piece was supplied by a most amusing
plantation Ethiopian scene.
This exhibition was enough to satisfy
any one that mnch can be done for public
am usement and instruction through dra-
matte Representations properly gotten up.
Without female characters, and with
scarcely any of the adjuucts of the theatre,
without the splendid scenery and sensa-
tional machinery which make the stage so
attractive nowadays, our young friends
succeeded by mere dint of native iutelli-
gence in making the entertainment highly
interesting. If their means and time should
| permit any Improvements in the spectacular
line, there is no reason why most of the
peculiar fascination of the professional
stage should not accompany their efforts.
| In that case the immense attendance
which would be sure to be attracted could
be made an opportunity of ihstructiug the
people not on points of morality, as in the
"bar- room" scenes, but in church history
and many details of popular science. With
| proper nursing, this young association may
be made the means of helping to rob the
Devil of his favorite stamping ground"-
! the stage.

MASS OF ST. PHILoMENA.-We see that
Mr.. Curto's fine Mass of st. Philomena is
to be performed at st. AIMS church to-day.
Miss Cannon, so fayorably known for her
musical talent and accomplishments, will,
as usual, preside at the organ, and with the
skilled assistance which she can always
command, will render this beautiful COM
position in a style worthy the solemnity of
the occasion. Very Rev. Father Chalon

Sr. SIMEoNs SELECT SCHooL.--lt is IN
necessary to call the attention Of parents
Tn the claims of this well-known establish
ment. Its location, at. No-4131 Annuncia-
ton street, near Thaiia, renders it pecu-
iarly accessible to a large portion of Our
Catholic population, and the character
whicls 1t has established among its patrons
is widely known. We call attention there
fore to the advertisement of this institu-,
ton, to be found in another column, merely
as a convenience to parties who may not
be familiar with its terms, and may yet
wish to knoT them.
All for whom the location of this school
would be convenient in sending their
daughters, wouid do well to give its claims
serious consideration. III not fully aware
of them, bhey could easily obtain the most
satisfactory information by consulting pa
rents who already have children there.
The terms, though quite moderate, may
be considered somewhat onerous for per-
sons having several children to rear, but If
q few sacrifices could accomplish the end,
parents will eventually be delighted at
heying made them in contemplating the
rapid Improvement of their daughters
in. all branches of solid education and
elegant accomplishment. The refinement
and finish of manner acquired under the
watchful supervision of these accomplished
ladies, and in associations of the most ire
proachable kind, Will remain throughout
life graceful memento of the discretion of
parents in selecting good school.
