THERE IS NO CITY In the Union that pre-
sents such attractions as the city Of Wash
lngton at this time. The great display of
science and art may be seen In her public
buildings, together with the many beautiful
stores now being erected In our city; and In
addition to the above objects OF interest we
would call the attention Of strangers visiting
the capital to the establishment of Messrs.
James 8. Topham & Co., No. 500 Seventh

Fete Champetre.

The weather has become so warm that
fairs have to be held out of doors. That
appears to be the English of Fctc Cham
1rtrcJ- Is-nnHs-exG4HFttft gd-Tt-EaEr0tttou-
Rev. Father CeuPpens has, through the in
strumentality of many kind ladies, gotten
up fair at that place, for the benefit of
the orphans. Instead of holding it in n
hall, a spice of wisdom and a spice of ro-
nance together have been mingled with
the scheme. and the result is fair out of
doors-a fair by moonlight and lamPight
eomBined-in the cool and foweFy garden
of the Carrollton Hotel.
How pleasantly the gentle south breeze
will mingle with the strains of music from
the brass band, and how gratefully it will
watt across the senses odors of flowers,
tempered occasionally with a sniff of chick
en- salad! A person may experiment, if
scientifically inclined, as to how much
longer a given quantity of ice-cream will
last under the cold moonlight than when
brilliant jet of burning gas is flashing on it.
Doubtless hundreds of persons from the
city will visit the Fete during its session,
which commenced last night Saturday.,
We see that several steamboats, have
kindly volunteered to convey passengers
to the wharf at Carrollton free of charge,
and no doubt many extra cars will be put
on the rail route. We commend our friends
to the kind attentions of Mrs. j. Pritchard
and Mrs. b. n. Fortier, who, assisted by n
number of young ladies, have charge/of
the Mourning STAR table.
No doubt many other tables-Yi1 present
attractions of the highest order, but we
share of patronage among our friends.
The fete will, we>are informed, continue to-
night and forrseveral evenings to come. -

ANNIVERSARY SERVICES FOR THE MOST
Rev. ARCHBISHOP BLANC.-The anniver-
sary of the death of the Most Rev. Arch
bishop Blanc, occurring ON Sunday, Goth
inst, this year, the usual funeral services
which are annually celebrated, will be
transferred to Tuesday, god, when they
viii take place at the Cathedral, at half
past seven. The ecciesiastics of the city,
particularly those who were ordained by
the late Archbishop Blanc, are invited to
assist Mt the service. The several city
clergy are requested to inform their parish
toners to-day, at High Mass, to the end
that they may participate in this ceremony.
The greatest mark of affection which we
can pay to the dead is to pray for them,
and this is a duty of justice, at the same
time that it is duty of Acknowledgment
to pray for prelate who, during forty
years, devoted himself to the salvation of
souls in this diocese, and3 who, during
twenty five years of laborous- episcopate,
had prepared by his zeal the benefits which
are now being realized among us.

Exhibition of St. Mary's College.

The annual examination and exhibition
of the students of st. Mary's College
christian Brothers,) took place during the
past week. at the National Theatre, on the
evenings of Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday. There was fine audience in
attendance on each occasion and, especi
ally the last evening, all the available space
of the theatre was fully occupied.
We are glad to say that attendance there
was amply compensated by the interesting
character of the exercises. OF course many
parents, relatives and friends were present
principally Nfrom interest in the students in
dividually, but perfect stranger would
have been well entertained by the mere
merit of the various performances. The
music of the college band is good, and the
Brothers have the good taste to inter
ludc the drier exercises of the black board
with very frequent exhibitions of musical
talent, vocal and instrumental, of different
students. Sometimes the whole college
choir, consisting of twenty two boys,
performs choice moroccan from some mas
ter, then piano solo or a vocal duet, or
quartette of various instruments, breaks
effort.
In the meantime the exercises are by no
means purely of. the class. Many bright
little chap takes the floor, and spouts forth
some amusing defamation, to the great de-
light of the audience and frequently of
himself. Then again youth of ability
and promise reads an essay of great inter
f1n ind nf
the auditor is not fatigued with an unre-
hitting exertion to keep up with the drier
doctrines of arithmetic, geometry and al
zebra occasionally evolved. The Brothers
know how to make an examination inter
esting.
Whenever the stage is occupied, how
ever, with any scholastic exercise proper,
it is easy to see that solidity has been aimed
at and secured, as we'll as proficiency IN
lighter accomplishments. The ease and
rapidity with which difficult problems are
solved, shows not only q knowledge of
their principles, but a familiarity with them
only attained by frequent repetition. In
grammar the sentences are analysed and
the words parsed with an equal promptness
and confidence This is far better than the
I..pe,rea recall principles often
witnessed at exhibitions, when success is
slowly arrived at, if at all, and when it is
manifest that, though principles may have
been comprehended, they have been but
little applied
We may add that there were several of
the students who appeared to elicit special
applause from the audience, but when merit
is SO nearly balanced and SO generally dis
tributed, we do not like to discriminate by
mentioning favored names. The next ex-
hibition of st. Mary's College will be looked
forward to with interest by many.

CoNFIRMATIoNs.-Duri the past.week
Right Rev. Bishop Elder has been much
engaged in bestowing the Sacrament of
Confirmation thFeaghoa the efftyF7s-=-=:-
On Monday last, he confirmed thirty
four boys of the st. Mary's Orphan Asylum
and seventeen girls of the Asylum of the
Immaculate Conception. 233 were confirm
ed at St--Theresa's, 207 at st. Joseph's, and
&c at st. Patrick's during the week.
Last Sunday the same ceremony took
place at st. Peters Church, Third District,
notwithstanding the inclemency of the day.
Many of the children and some of the
teachers of the parochial school, while on
their way to the church, were caught in
hard shower, but persisted in matchmaking
notwithstanding.
st. Theresa's parish was not better repre-
sented in the number of its recipients of
the sacrament, than in the presence of
others to witness the ceremony. The
church was completely damned. So great
is the increase in numbers and zeal Of this
congregation, that the new parish laid out
Shehan, must be considered as a matter of
necessity, as the present church is not
large enough to accommodate the congre-
CATION.
Right Rev. Bishop Elder is entitled to
the gratitude of this diocese for his Jealous
labors during the absence of our Most Rev.
Archbishop.
