City Prospects.


1t is singular to note what an effect has
been wrought upon the opinions of many
persons in regard to the future of New Or
leans, by the depressing character of this
! winters business. They see nothing but
ruin and depopulation ahead. Other cities
are taking away our trade and will cou-
tinue to take it, and the general decay
which has already stricken many portions
of the extreme South, will finally make the
whole of it, including New Orleans, scene
of desolation. If this is the case, wise men
will do we'll to fee from the ruin to come
and take refuge in season among those To-
calities where prosperity is to be perma-
Dent.
But let us look calmly at the facts and
reasonings of the case before being too
much frightened. In the first place, the
croakers argue that, slavery being abol-
ished, negro labor has become unreliable,
and white labor cannot possibly contend
with the climate of the lower Southern
States so as to bring forth their agricultural
wealth, and that, therefore, step by step,
improvements will decay, not to be re-
placed, cultivated lands will become waste,
production will diminish and poverty will
finally end in complete ruin. They think
that the fate of San Domingo and Jamaica
is i'll store for us.
Fortunately the facts do not bear out |

An awful rumor is abroad, one which is
calculated to shed a gloom over that por-
ton of society which delights in calling it
self "serious." It is neither more nor less
than that Exeter Hall is to be closed for ever.
taken down, and hotel built on the hal
lowed site. Well may Hamlet say: "To
what base uses may we come at last" 1t
is indeed painful to contemplate so awful a
change, aud to think that the spot which
has SO long been the home of those gifted
''No Popery" orators, who have through
all the May, and oftentimes throughout
the year, Numbered forth their awful phil
ippics against "the Man ofSin," should be
profaned by such earthly thoughts as those
which are blended with the idea of hotel.
''Whither will the pious fly for refuge or
where shall they seek shelter2" We fear
that Hanover Square Rooms have been of
late So frequently the scene of lectures by
Jesuit fathers, that its moral atmosphere
would not be considered wholesome by
those who have felt at home ia Exeter Hail.
As ia. ST. James's Hail, is it not this week
The scene Of OF a great "PopisA" meeting,
'tu,. j. it not soon to echo to the music Of
Ross els Mass, and n little later of Benedict's
''Si. I'ttci"? Such spot will require much
pnrihcttion before II genuine Exeter HaIlite
,ai bsrhAPpy in ii. The idea is altogether
very sad.-LOHd0W Universe.

Ieans pepsrs, III making such s statement,
canHot believe what they say.
II yellow fever originates in New Or.
leans, why not in the neighboring villages
The climate IL the same. They answer,
because New Orleans is crowded and they
are not. True, but when case ID carried
from the city to one Of those villages it is
desimated by the scourge before it ceases.
1t the sick man had never gone there no
yellow fever would have existed. There
has been no lack of advocates among
medical men during past years Of the doc
trine that the fever is spontaneous here,
but they have never been able to establish
a single instance where the first case of o
season occurred without exposure to the
infection or contagion. 1t ia useless, how
ever, to argue this point, as everybody
who has any personal experience of the
workings of this disease, or nearly every
body, is perfectly satisfied that it is COM
municated from one person to another,
from one member of family to another,
from one individual in a community to
others.
But after all, the propriety of quaran-
tine system against yellow fever for such
a place as New Orleans may be doubted.
The quarantine undoubtedly works con-
siderable injury to business, occasionally,
during large portion of the year, and,
once in while, in spite of every precau-
ton, the fever makes its way through, only
to find an immense supply of fresh subjects
for its ravages. AS it is, most of our pres
ent population is acehmated, in numbers
amply sufficient, at least, to conduct the
summer business of tile port. Like Ha-
vana, New Orleans will doubtless always
be able to furnish an acclimated popuIa-
ton adequate to the demands of it's sum-
mer commerce. 1t would be better per-
haps, to rely on this than to cripple business
so severely by q rigid and prolonged
quarantine and to renew periodically the
horrors of an epidemic among an unaccli-
mated population allured hither by a de-
lnsive security.
If the epidemic can be controlled by dis
infectants, by an improved sewerage, by a
more sanitary disposition Of excrement or
by other scientific appliances, then strangers
may come in safety and remain with pru-
dence. If all this should prove unreliable,
however, it might be better both for COM
merce and for humanity that there should
be no quarantine and no subjects for the
fever.

J - - - neeas. Florida = progressing
hsnteoussly with her 1fuit culture, Georges
With her white labor factories, Texas il
niitag mp with whites labor md growing
Rich upon it. We hear Of mo- complaints
that white people cannot develop the
wealth OF that great State IN ATTITUDES far
south Of New Orleans. Our climate ia by
no means tropical, not at all more SO than
that Of Naples, or Greece, or Palestine,
where the white races have attained to an
excellence in all kinds of achievement
scarcely ever equalled in more temperate
!atitudes. The Southern part Of Italy is
densely populated with very productive
white laborers, why should not Florida be
equally so. A certain evidence of decay
has indeed shown itself in some locali-
ties, owing to the want of reliable labor,
but the sudden overthrow of a great sys-
tenn like slavery cannot be provided against
at all points in q day. Even though white
labor should prove unavailable at such
points, however, of which there is no evil
dence, We have yet the teeming population
of China to fall back on.
But the fate of New Orleans is not me-
cessarily involved in that of it's latitude.
1t must always be the shipping point of the
Mississippi Valley, for many things. The
Western and Southern trade with Mexico,
Central America, South America and the
West Indies cannot be diverted permanent
~ from this point of departure. Even much
of the cotton that is now taken away from
us by the enterprise of Atlantic ports can
be brought back by railroads and judicious
management, and foreign importations for
"a large section of country ought naturally
to take their routes through our warehous-
es.
1t is said that much of our trade with
Red River and other points is now assum-
ed by st. Louis, Cincinnati and Louisville,
which ship western produce directly to
those points aud take cotton in return to
be manufactured in the West. This is but
natural, and being more economical for
all concerned ought not be regretted. 1t
never was part of our legitimate business !;
but in spite of it's loss, it is evident that
the population of New Orleans is growing
every day. This must be based on bust
ness, and the day will soon come when our
railroad and moneyed facilities will recov-
er all the trade properly belonging here
of which We have been deprived, and cre-
ate,an immense addition thereto which has
never heretofore existed.

A pilgrimage of suppliants for help for
the Holy Father took place at Dieburg in
Hesse, in which 5000 people took part. A
meeting took place afterwards. We also
read of similar proceedings at Dettlebach
and Sachteln. The Committee of the Con-
fraternity of st. Michael in the Diocese of
Saint-Poelten has sent to the Apostolic
Nuncio at Vienna an address, together with
an offering in money, to be forwarded to
the Sovereign Pontiff.

SPAIN VERSUS ITALY.-The Catholic As
ISOLATION of Madrid has published an elo-
quent and carefully worded protest, with
the view of uniting Catholics of all parties
In public expression of indignation at
the Italian usurpation. The movement
has been successful in obtaining the sigma
lures of number of leading men in Spain
belonging to different shades of political
opinion. We are delighted at the uncom-
promising tone of the protest and the iden-
tity of Catholic sentiment in Spain with that
expressed everywhere throughout Chris
tendon. The protest, which is entitled,
IAN Invitation to the Catholic People of
Madrid" says, "The Pope having been
made prisoner, and the Church outraged
IN his person, Catholics cannot fail to send
up fervent prayers to Heaven they must
make the crime that has been committed
their own by the completely of their silence.
1t is, indeed, a horrible crime, and one that
fills the mind with wonder and the heart
with sorrow /: human feelings would cause
us to burn with rage did the greatness of
our grief leave room for anger. 1t is an
enormous crime, crime which knows no
bounds, in him who dares to lay his sacri-
legious hand ON the Vicar of Jesus Christ
converting that which is the legitimate and
sacred property of the whole Catholic
world into the illegitimate patrimony of a
single State, making q prisoner of the COM
mon father of the faithful by brute force,
which necessarily assails the children
equally with the father. The Pope is the
King of Rome the Pope is a captive if he
is not a Sovereign and the Prince who
asserts his sway over him, thereby tyran-
nizes over the Catholics of the whole world.
Yes, Catholics, the liberty of the Sovereign
PontiT is our liberty on the freedom Of
the teaching of the Church depend the
peace and happiness of men: the Shepherd
having been carried off from his flock, the
sheep are deprived of their protector and
guide, their hearts are filed with sorrow,
their consciences become troubled, the
spiritual life of their souls is encompassed
by darkness and horror"

OLIVE AND ORANGE CULTURE.
interesting agricultural enterprises are
IN progress-one the cultivation OF
oranges IN California, and the other the
establishment of an olive grove on the
ST. Johns River in Florida. For CaIifor.
MIA it is claimed that fully twenty-five out
of the fifty counties in the State are ad-
mirably adapted to the production of
oranges. The gentleman abort to under.
take the planting of an olive grove in
Florida is Gen. VanValkenburgh, who is
said to be practically acquainted with the
cultivation OF that fruit, and to have sent
abroad for the choicest varieties. It was
long the persuasion Of a citizen of South
Carolina who bad travelled much abroad
In olive-producing countries that the
western part of the State was admirably
adapted to the same purpose, and if the
Florida experiment succeeds something
in the same way might be attempted in
those sandy districts of South Carolina
lying just east of Savannah River.

BEAUTY AND DREss.-A writer SAYS =
Providence meant women to make the
world beautiful as much as flowers and
butterflies, and there is no sin in tasteful
dress, but only in devoting to it too much
money or too much time"
This is a most sensible view, and is the
true medium between the one extremesof
straight and rigid simplicity AMI the de-
votlon OF the best energies Of lifetime
to vanity and trivolty But, after all,
what is this rage for dress but an effort
after the beautiful? The reason WHY the
beautiful is not always the result, is be
cause so many women are ignorant or
merely initiative. They have no sense of
fitness. The short wear what belongs to
the tall, and brunettes sacrifice their nat.
ural beauty to look like blondes, and
well they may, for blondes seem general
~ preferable.
