Judge Peck was once holding court
ut Chelsea. when backwoOds witness
was brought on to the stand for exam
na'ion. He had never seen court
room before, and had no idea of the
solemn dignity Of judges or of court
room propriety. The lawyer was spur
ring up the witness recollections, and
the judge was taking down his testimony
which the witness was ANXIOUS 10 have
recorded correctly. The questions had
been put rapidly, and tie judge was
scratching as fast lis he could to catch up.
Come, come," said the lawyer, ''ans-
wer my question" "WeLI, look a here,

A Caution to the Public.

Hard is the way Of the transgressor, bnt
still harder is, at least in this life, the way
of the Catholic journalist. His profession
requires of him to postpone sentiment to
Judgment, and to sacrifice his own private
feelings on the altar Of public duty. His
is, however, a mission from which it would
be sacril egious cowardice in him to shrink.
His legitimate superiors aud the people for
whom he writes have right to demand
that he fulfill it. This is, anyhow, our idea
of journalism, ard hence we proceed,
though much against our grain, to the
performance of painful but imperative
duty.
No Catholic in this city can be unaware
parture for Europe, distinctly and en-
phatically forbade any strange priest to
collect money in this city and diocese.
Bishops, we'll known and universally hon.
ored, have respected an inhibition at once
80 peremptory and 30 just; it only re-
NAMED for priest, we are panied to learn,
to set it at naught, and after being refused
errand of mendicancy in bare.faced and
| unblushing defiance of ecclesiastical au-
thority. Whether, and to what extent his
superiors sustain him in his unruly prac-
tees, we leave to their and his conscience
to determine; but we do pity our poor peo-
pie, whose hard earnings are SO mercilessly
fllched from them-too often by the grippe
of avarice or speculation. This we do not
think to be the case in the present instance,
but has been so all too often. Our people
take too much delight in being deceived.
AS to ourselves, we owe them nothing,
hence the advice we give them is as
gratuitcus as it is sincere; let them
bear in mind that charity begins Mt home,
and that while our own charitable institu-
lions are in need, it is u wrong policy to
waste their means on others, or, as has
frequently happened, cram the portfolios of
those we'll dressed gentlemen of leisure,
who flock hither in winter and sprin e, but
prudently retreat on the approach of yell
low fever.

VALUABLE PR1zEs.-At the Fair, which opens
on Friday evening next at the Odd Fellows
Hall, under the direction of the ladies of st.
Patrick's Parish, there will be many very valu-
able prizes, and in order to secure them those
who are interested must go to work early and
earnestly. The first of the prizes Ia very gu
perior Horse "a chestnut sorrel), seven years
old, and seventeen hands high, of beautiful
symetrical proportions, and trots in three
minutes. This splendid animal can be seen
any day, from the present until the fair closes,
at DE-. Harris Louisiana Livery Stables, Nos.
255 and 257 Magazine street. The various fire
companies of the city of New Orleans and vi
cinity are respectfully invited by the ladies to
enter the lists for the prize.
The next prize is q magnificent Harp, ordered
expressly for competition by the several
branches of the Hibernian b. and NJ. A. Asso-
citation. 1t left Boston by express on the 26th
and doubtless will arrive some time previous
to the opening of the fair. This is, certainly
q very good opportunity for the branches to
add to their paraphernalia, and increase the
beauty of the display on their next anniyer-
sary.
There will be an occasion offered the visitors
to the fair of expressing their preference, Ii
any they may have, for any OF the clergy mel
of the city, by voting for an elegant soutanne
Let those who have o favorite among tn
clergy begin the canvass OF once, and as there
in NO restriction at the ballot box, which viii
he fouud at the fair, as to the number of time
one may vote, or as to sex, or age, or previou
or present condition, they need have no scrupl'

Anti-Catholic.

The anti Catholic organ of this city-the
Repubiicdn-comes out with quite q broad
side in its issue of last Thursday. It says:
Catholicism, technically speaking, is forever
inventing ways whereby it can control the,
educational interests of the community.
This is a strong assertion, and one would
suppose the public entitled to some facts
sustaining it. These facts are not forth
coming, however, and it cannot be expect
ed of any one seriously to set to work and
prove negative. We can only say that
Catholicity in our community has never, to
our knowledge, sought in any way what
ever to control or influence the educational
interests of the community" We must
suppose that the learned writer somewhat
negligently expressed his opinion, and
really meant to speak Of the educational
interests of the Catholic portion Of the
community. We judge 80 from his very
mex. sentence, which 10 a. follows:
ishiouers to attend the public schools, prefer
ring to keep up it's own institutions for their
instruction.
This is q very material modification and
change, from the accusation Of thing
which would be very wrong, to that of q
thing which is quite right. But even with
this modification, If the clause of forever
inventing ways" to effect this object, is to
DO considered included, we must demur
again. We do not remember any facts on
! which this charge can be based. We have
never heard of any great variety of ways
| in which it was proposed that "Catholicism
! should control the educational interests u

DR.. Dollinaer.

Our readers, doubtless, observed in the
kilograms of few days since q consider
able parade over the detection of this gen.
tleman from the Catholic Church. Quite n
large majority of the professors at his uni
versity had signed some document sus
tanning his course in disputing the dogma
of Papal Infallibilty. 1t is not pretended,
however, that these professors are priests.
1t is not very strange that a large proper
tion of lay professors, in German Uni
versity, should be nom Catholics, or, as for
that, Infidels. German infidelity has be-
come SO common an expression, that fact
like this should hardly be considered
worth telegraphing. DR.. Dollinger, him
self, has evidently queer ideas of Christi
anity, for he gives as his fifth reason, for
rejecting the dogma, that it is incompa-
tible with the constitution of Bavaria
That is, Christianity must be SO arranged
as not to be Incompatible with the consti-
! tuition of that puissant State.
| In another column, our readers will find
condensed from the London Tablet, an able
and interesting notice of DR.. Dollinger'
detection, and of his reasons therefor
The learned gentleman evidently intend
to keep his loyalty to the State above sus
picion, whatever may become of tn
Church. He clearly stands more in awe o
his King, than of his Archbishop, and nj
doubt feels quite complacent in the sup
port of corps of professors, with who's
sentiments he was thoroughly acquainte
before he took his fatal step. If he ha
} been in this country he could have foun
many more than sixty or seventy profe'
sors to have endorsed his apostacy.

1t will afford sincere pleasure to the public
of New Orleans to learn that the RR. FF. of
Holy Cross, in charge of st. Mary's Orphan
Boys' Asylum, Third District, are about to
establish an industrial school and model farm
on q magnificent property which they possess
in the parish of St. Maurice, some miles from
the centre of the city. Orphan boys will be
there taught agriculture, gardening, and
the different trades, such as shoemaking,
tailoring, carpentry, cabinet-making, lock-
smithing, etc. In q short time we hope that
we shall be able to indicate the time for the
opening of the school, when We shall give more
circumstantial details of this work, calculated
to do SO much good for the city of New Or
leans.

The 500 in gold prize, at st. Josephs Fair,
was won by Mr.. John Hearne. Those who
know Mr.. Hearne will not be astOnished to
learn that he returned the prize to Father
Smith. 1t is just in keeping with theimpulses
of his generous heart. Some men are large in
physique, but have little hearts; John is o big
man with big heart. May his shadow never
grow less. May he win many prizes, and may
his life be prolonged to @ patriarohal age, and
be fall of blessings and free from sorrows!
Those retaining the following Numbers are
requested to present them for their respective
prizes: No. 90 won the fancy picture of St.
Joseph; No. s75, the beautiful French clock
No. 27s won the diomond ring, and 5i7 gained
the bedroom furniture.
The returns are not yet all in, and conse
quently the result cannot be definitely ascer.
tanned. In our next Issue we shall probably be
| able to give the statement.

THE CONCERT AT ST. THEREsA's.-The con- |
cert given at St. Theresa's Church, on Sunday
evening last, we are proud to state, was most
gratifying in it's results, both as musical
treat and as o pecuniary success. The audience
was exceedingly numerous, every pew and
every chair in the aisles and chancel being oc-
cupied, and even standing-room could scarcely
be found by those who were unfortunate
enough to come in O little late. The church
itself presented o most beautiful appearance,
the workmen having given their finishing
strokes but O day or two before; there was
nm air of purity and freshness about the build
ing that made every ono feel comfortable.
The concert was conducted by Mr.. Theo. La
Hache, Jr., to whom no little credit is due for
tho manner in which he made his arrangements
and 90 successfully carried them out Mr. La
Hache on this, as on many other occasions,
eyinced the fact that he is possessed Of that
same high order of musical talent for which his
laneuted father was 30 justly admired. The
programme was o selection OF some mosi
beautiful pieces of sacred music among them
we were pleased to fnd the Kyrie, from the
"Missa Pro Pace" by the late Prof La Hache
and the Gloria from the same beautiful pro
duction. A large number of the most favoritt
artists and amateurs in tho city lent their as
aistance, and the worthy pastor of st. Theresa
ia warm in the expression of his thanks TO
their kind efforts in his behalf, as we'll a. t.
those who, by their presence, 60 largely con
tributed to the success of the entertainment
Another pleasing feature in the concert wa
the presence of the band from the Christiai
Brothers' College at Pass Christian who dc
lighted tho audience with their performanc
Of several choice and difficult selections. w
tender our congratulations to Father Kenn
and to Mt. La Hache, the worthy organiat
st. Theress's, upon the very fattering sue
cess with which their undertaking has bee
crowned.

whyf Oh! because the caucus nomina-
tions are SO bad. But these very men
ought then to control the caucuses. They
must fight for their rights they must shake
off criminal supineness. Otherwise not
only are they unworthy of sympathy in
their grievous taxation, but they must be
involved in the worst punishment which
such a government as they permit to
exist will surely bring upon the country.

cALxnpAR OF THE WEEK.

ST.. PATRICK's FAIR.-One of the best OBJ
iects to which charitable contributions can
be made now appeals to the support of the
New Orleans public. Rev. Father Flanna-
gan desires to erect a building suitable to
the purpose of a school, for the girls of st.
Patrick's parish, to be conducted by the
Sisters of Mercy. Such an establishme'
would be of the greatest utility. We
all know the Importance Of secular educa-
ton, and the far greater Importance OF
good religious education. How many
children nowadays, Of both sexes, go
astray and fall into irreligion, or something
worse, through the want of religious in
structions. How many of these souls would
be saved by good rearing, under the watch-
full eyes Of the Sisters. There is nothing
like it. Many, very many, parents are
totally untitled to give their children any
such information OF good example as they
ought to have in such matters. But, be-
cause they are bad, must the children be
allowed to be worse. 1t is idle to talk of
sending them to Sunday schools. SUCH
parents will not send them, OF, if they
should, such children will not go. The
QOOO 1unue0C0 WHICH, 10 W onSV shSAAA AAA~So
be brought to bear at school.
St. Patrick's parish is greatly in need OF
such an instrument of two-fold good, more
so, perhaps, than any other in the city. Its
friends are countless and number hundreds
of our more influential families, who used
to gather within its walls, but have, of late
years, been drawn farther up town by the
expansion of the urban area. AS the fair
will be held under very agreeable auspices,
it is not too much to hope that all such
old friends will revive their acquaintance
and interest on this occasion. The enter
tainment will open at Odd Fellows Hall,
on next Friday evening, May 5th, so that
its continuance will be accompanied with
all the flowers and balmy airs of the most
beautiful season of the year. The month
of May is appropriate to enjoyment. LIE,
us hope that results in this case will show
that the month of Mary is equally appropri
etc to deeds of charity and beneficence.

The above are not all the valuable prizes
which will be found at the fair; indeed we
could scarce find space in our columns to emu
merate everything which will necessarily at
tract the attention of visitors. Let all who
can attend the fair do SO, and the time spent
in SO doing will be amply remunerated by the
pleasure which they must experience in the
company of the beautiful ladies under whose
directions the fair will be given.
