An historical and statistical work
entitled "CJlbert's Chicago" makes
the following report on the progress Of
the Catholic religion and Protestant
sectariauism in the city of Chicago !:
Ir the year 1888 The first Catholic
church was built by the Rev. Father
Sehaffer ard was completed the f,llow-
Ing year. In the year 1869 Chicago
has 20 Catholic churches. amoIg
which are some of the finest and most
costly buildings among the Catholic
churches of The United States, Also
13 converts. 2 hospitals, Is parish
schools, s academies, l reform school
for boys, asylum for peuitent Magda-
'ens, and two orphan asylums. All
these institutions are under the care
and supervision of Catholic priests,
nuns, and sisters of charity. The
Catholic population amounts to 1OS.-
500 souls, and Is. 700 Catholic children
attend their schools. The vaule of the
Catholic churches and sacred and
charitable establishments amount to
S1.575.00O, and the whole Catholic
church property in Chicago amounts to
SO $4,000 The total number of
Protestant church goers belonging to
the various sects is estimated al 800,
so that the Catholics in Chicago h I'VE
a majority of $1,000 over all others.
According to the last census Of the
city there are 90 1913 persons who b.
long &C. no church. and hence stand on
he side of in6delity and indifferentism.
from which, however, annually, hun
dreds turn Catholic, and frequently
persons of high rank, learning aud
wealth.

Regularly Sold Out.

During the month of January, 1850,
while stopping at the Sutter House,
IN sacramento, City, California, / ac-
ciuentally overheard conversation
between two gentlemen, one of whom
was from New York city, and had
been In the country nearly year,
and the other had Just arrived.
The new conner was lamenting his
condition, and his folly in leaving an
abundance at home, and especially
two beautiful daughters, who were
Just budding into womanhood-when
family.
"Yes sir; 1 have wife and six
children in New York-and I never
saw one of them.n
After this reply, the couple sat a
few moments in silence; then the in-
terrogator again commenced
WAS you ever blind, sir?"
mo, SIR"
Another lapse of silence.
Did understand you to say, sir,
that You had a wife and six children
living in New York, and had never
seen one of them?
Yes sir-I so stated it.o
=, Another and long pause of silence.
Then theinterrogator again inquired:
,l How can 1t be, sir, that you never
saw one of them?n
!, why" was the response, "onc Of
them was born after / left"
"Oh! ahl" and u general laugh
followed; and after that the New
Yorker was especially distinguished
as the man who had "six children
and never saw one of Them"

Punished for Lying.

a ldto lecturer on the life of Oliver
Cromwell declares, i'm spite of the
stcrnness of his character, that he
had an inherent iOue Of fun, which he
was prone mischievously to indulge,
AZ the expense of those around him.
This was II popularity of Ills disposi-
ton, which exhibited itself ever ac-
cording to the impulse of the mo-
ment. An anecdote to this point Is
related, which runs to the effect that
Cromwell had beautiful daughter
at the time he. became Protector, TO
whom one of his attendants took a
great liking. One day he went Tito
his daughters apartments, and was
not little surprised to see his page
very humbly Frustrated upon the
knee, before his daughter and eX-
tending his hand towards her In the
most suppllcatiDg manner Possible.
"What means this?n sternly ex-
claimed Cromwell.

piled the afirightcd page, "I am In

pointing to her as he spoke, "and /

REV. A. MIzELI, Travelling Agent
of the Tennessee Orphan Asylum, Il
now in our city-the object of his visit
being to represent the claims of this
most praiseworthy and commendablt
enterprise. Our personal acquain.
tance with him is of more than TWEEN.
ty years duration, and we can assure
the public that he merits the utmost
confidence. We congratulate the
Board of Managers of the institution
in having secured the services of a
general agent so pre-eminently quail
flied for the position, and trust theil
most sanguine eanticipations of success
may be realized. The Asylum has
over fifty Confederate orphans under
Its paternal guardianship, who would
otherwise be penniless and hom eless.
Since Mr.. MIzELL has accepted the
agency-confidence in his success be-
ing implicit-additional provisions
have been made as to room, and the
Board of Managers report themselves
ready, upon due form of application,
to receive other orphans into the Asy-
lum. In point of order, neaaness,
system and well regulated discipline,
the institution Is perhaps as near a
model of perfection as Is possible to
make such a. thing. While the indus
trial branches are taught the inmates
have the advantages Of first class.
scholastic instruction, and, indeed, all
the comforts and advantages of the
best regulated family, save the ex-
treme tenderness ofpaternal affection,
and 1t is as nearly supplied as is pos
sible. 1t is hoped that during the
twelve months term of agency now
entered upon that additional sums,
sufficient to provide the destitute or
phans of the Confederate dead by the
hundred will be secured. Surely no
objects were ever presented to the
generous and charitable consideration
OF any people more needy and de-
Serving than are destitute orphans
rendered so by the casualties of the
late war. These have claims upon
the sympathies and generosity of the
southern people unsurpassed. 1t Is
the wall of these children thrown
broadcast by the thousand in our
land which salutes the ear
and penetrates the heart from every
point OF the compass, in tones most
piteous and thrilling, calling for help.
Being rapidly restored to prosperity
rs we are, and the generosity of the
Southern people being beyond ques-
tion, this cause, appealing as it does
to their best feelings and most tender
sympathies, must and will succeed
Can an enterprise whose merits are
too lofty and momentous to admit Of
fail? Nay, verify. Upon
it be Gods blessing, and success be-
yond the most sanguine anticipations

We ask not ourselves what will God

IL the voice of Religion aamonishes
US, or that ''still small voice" within
the human breast, which men call

world approves or applauds what we

which is promised to the just: "Well

Savior !; but cherish IL and strive TO

world. l5
If we give charity to the needy, It

If we go to the Altar of God and

acts, but that we wish the world to
believe US good. And so we go on,
Pharisee-like---hypocrites in faith and

and golden opinions, and the bene-
dlctions Of the world. Well, that
may do for the present. But, how
for the future? VIII It save us in
the day of trial and before the judg-
ment seat Of God? Will the worlds
approval stand against our short
comings and win the great Hereafter
rewards which our own acts have for
feited for us? Surely not. Why,
then, strive so much to please q poor,
helpless, wicked world? Why desire
its approval? Why seek its ap-
plause? There are higher and holier
motives which should govern us, and
direct us in all our actions. The love
Of God, the peace of good cOnsci-
ence, and the hopes of Heaven, should
be the guides to take us through the
world, and scorning its praise, its fol-
lies, and its temptations, a greater
reward than any the world can give
will await us--a reward no less than
the joys of Heaven promised to the
faithful pilgrim over Eearth's desert
wastes. ..a..
