Decentralization, corruption, degradation,
vice of all kinds, must go much further yet
before the people will be willing to give up
thcir' birth-right. Men who have once been
free are 10th to take master. They will
bear untold evils first. Like the poor
Mexican, they will submit to anarchy, pill
lage, everything, in the hope of one day
emerging from the chaos with their pre-
cious boon of freedom saved. 1t is useless
to talk to. them of the momentary relief
afforded by an empire. a man whose pa
trimony is involved may experience tenn
porary relief by applying to, the usurers,
but If lie has the true spirit of manhood,
he will rather struggle for awhile with the
disagreeable realities of poverty, if thereby
he may rescue the home of his fathere from
the hand of the stranger.
The day may come when our people will
be effemnate enough and degraded enough
to take refuge from the cares of life under
a master who shall see to their wants, but
we are confident that the Americans, as a
people, do not dream of such thing vet
and if there shall be retained among us
enough of true religion and virtue to keen
alive the national instinct which God has
given us, that day never will come

Taking Of the White and Black Veil at St. Mary,s
Dominican Convent, Dryades street


The beautiful ceremony of taking the veil
was performed on Friday evening, 4th. the
Feast of the Sacred Heart, at the above Con
vent, when Miss Louise Lestrade dau chtor of
eGr weh-known citizen, DIR. Lestrade, of JEFF
fersons City, received the white veil, with the
name in religion of Sister Mary Rose of the
Sacred Heart; and Miss Mary Comerford. in
religion Sister Mary Vincent, received the black
veil, and pronounced her last or solemn vows
The Catholic Church, ever sublime and poetic
in her ritual, throws around this beant;fnI
ceremony her loveliest attractions.
The young postulant for the white veil. at
tired in bridal costume, attended by her brides
maids, Miss NJ. Van Dyke and Miss Cora Doize
and preceded by sweet little children strewinp
her path with roses, begs at the foot of the
altar the holy habit of st. Dominic.
The Bishop, presiding, asks her whether she
has fully meditated on the important step sbe
is about to take, which will forever here below
separate her from all that she holds dear.
On her affirmative reply, she is given the
crucihx and rosary, her inseparable com
panions henceforth. She then retires, to throw
aside her bridal attire, and assume the habit of
novice, which she wears for n year, after
which time. If her Superioress be satisfied with
~ comm with tlaa u1fc rptNtff=
aiming the Order, she asks for the
Black veil, and takes her formal vows of pow
erty, chastity and obedience, and henceforth |
devotes her life to the grand sublime mission |
Of the Dominicans-the education of youth.
In the absence of his Grace, Mgr Odin, |
Father Murphy, S. j., performed the ceremony |

The .IaRapran-n~-

AS we anticipated, this demonstration
has turned out to be an honor to the par
lsh of st. stephen, and credit to the Ca.
thOlic cause in our community. Twenty.
seven hundred people in one procession,
cut up into twenty -odd distinct societies
and organizations, their banners floating in
the wind, their bands filling the air with
martial strains of music, and noble
statue of the Blessed Virgin borne aloft in
triumph, is sight worth seeing and wor-
thy to raise an emotion of joy in the heart
of every Catholic. ~
AS in our last issue we indicated the
route to be followed by the procession, we
shall content ourselves at present with Civ
ing list, in the order of march, of the com
ponent parts of the procession, viz: Young

District; st. Stanislaus Society, of st. Ste

To say that the highest anticipations of
everybody were more than realized would
be but just. The lovely afternoon that
smiled on the occasion was in perfect keep !
ing with the beauty of the noble display
which was COTTON up simply in honor of
the gracious Queen of Heaven. May her
smiles rest upon all men and all communi-
ties who are not ashamed to march in her
ranks and under her banners.

spairing of Republicanism yet. It must be
observed that every people has its peculiar
national inspiration. The inspiration of
this people is Democracy. We do not use
the word in. a partisan sense, nor pretend
to decide what party is, has been, or will
be truly and really Democratic. But it
may be remarked, en- PEASANT, that every
party, SO far, which has opposed the Dem
ocratic instincts of the people, has passed
away. Federalism first went the way of
all things perishable. The Wings then
made mighty and most gallant struggle
for the dominion in politics. CLAY ard
Webster headed by far the larger portion
OF the wealth, Intelligence and aristocraey
of the land. Their varied schemes of bril-

poses not strictly contemplated by. the
Constitution, for time divided the coun-
try in an evenly balanced and hotly fought /
contest. But after all, tie unwashed and /

inspiration of the people prevailed, and

their hand unavailingly, gave way and

shorter than before; the people triumphed
