Taking the veil.

The neat little chapel of the Convent Of the
Visitation, corner Tenth and q streets, was
the scene Of a very interesting and impressive
ceremony last Monday morning. the occasion
being the reception into the order Of the Sis
ters Of the Visitation OF Miss Bertha, Youngest
daughter of Baron Won Ger0lt, late Minister
OF the German Empire to the United States.
The services consisted Of an opening hymn
''Veni Creator Spiritus the Sisters choir,
followed by an appropriate sermon by Kew.
James McDevitt, assistant pastor OF st. MAT
thew's Church. Then came the ceremony OF
investing the young lady with the white Veil,
and imparting to her the name In religion OF
Sister Nary Angela, the exercises being con-
Quoted by Rev. e. II. StOnestreet, 5. j., assist
ed by Rev. Fathers Wiget and McDevitt. Du-
ring these solemn ceremonies, Miss GerOt
knelt in the aisle fronting the altar, the Sisters
occupying seats on either side of her, with the
Mother Superior and two assistants on slight
ly elevated platform at the extreme end OF the
chapel. The fair candidate for religious hon
ors was the very picture Of feminine innocence
and loveliness She was dressed as q bride,
and in style of faultless elegance and sim.
plcity. The only ornament she wore, besides
wreath of orange blossoms, was handsome
gold chain, with silver cross attached. while
On her breast, emblematic Of her virginia. pur.
ity, solitary white japOnica was Visible. In
medately after receiving the veil she retired
and soon returned clad in the simple habit oi
the order, in which she looked as lovely and
interesting as before The mass was celrbrat-

many who arc IN mood 10 be tonched
by little show of fairness aud could
easily be inspired again into sentiments
of national pride, Again, Grant has
refused to send troops to Louisiana
where some local brawler is getting the
worst Of it. This is at least negatively
to Grants credit. II is also reported At
Washington that the action of the
United States Marshal in Alabama,
who arrested Democratic members of
the Legislature to prevent a quorum,
and carried them TO Mobile, is deserved
ly condemned by the Administrations.
One Spencer down there, in league with
the Marshal, thought he would be elected
United States Senator, but the returns
showed Democratic majority in the
Legislature; hence, the bold and shame
full outrage perpetrated in the name of
the government. Spencer is not needed
in the Senate by his party, which is
strong enough to do without Nun, ana al
the same time appear to be just, and his
conduct will probably be censured and
he may be dismissed from office. Next
and last in order, is the appointment of
Fairman as postmaster at Philadelphia,
where he was previously a deputy under
Bingham, resigned This was done
under the civil service rules, regardless
Of the petition of Cameron, Hartrauft x
Co, who had favorite to put in the
place, and almost demanded his appoint
ment as a right. These indications of
Grants purposes are not unfavorable to
the welfare and harmony sfthe country,
and no one who has the interest Of the
public at heart can be so bitter and uni
relenting as not to rejoice at any signs
of genuine reform and reconciliation,
come from whence or whom they may.

THE NEW DEPARTURE.

Grant being the President elect, and
in fact over the whole country for the
next foar years, it is a waste of time and
space to figure up how the result might
have been otherwise, and how somebody
else could have carried more votes than
Greedy or 0'Conor. That is gone, and
only the lessons of the past are with US.
And II is still more fruitless now to
abuse Grant aud the administration for
the errors, and, as we think, great
wrongs, committed in the interests Of
personal friends and party for the last
four years. There is good deal of
wiping out to be done yet before general
prosperity and good feeling is fully re-
stored, and it is the part of common
sense and wisdom to recall the hot words
and fierce passions that have blighted
peace and fraternity in the years
gone by as seldom as possible.
The future is worth living for, and with
ali the excuses of power committed by
some who have had the control Of public
affairs, none Of us would exchange our
country or government for Ireland or
England or France, Germany, Russia or
Poland. Entertainments have been
made upon the liberties and rights OF
the people, as in South Carolina and
in New York, but these evils are not be-
yond remedy. The masses of the people
cannot always be swayed by PARTISAN
ship; public morals are not dead, and an
intelligent sense Of justice will sooner
or later assert itself in behalf of the
weak and the oppressed, wherever found
on this continent. We are not without
hope that General Grant will in bis
strong self-will, rise above the politicians
and the ofice-brokers who think they
they ought to own him, and the
profits of the government patron
age. For since his reelection h'
has evinced an inclination to GU
loose from the fawning lobbyists and pu
an fierce the theories of reform, which
heretofore have been the tinkling Gym
bal aud sounding brass Of the Radica
party. 1t is stated that in his forthcom
ing message. upon which he is engaged
he will recommend Congress to complete
its work of amnesty by making it uni
versal and restoring those to citizenship
who are now excluded by the third sec
ton Of the fourteenth amendment
This course has been recommended b
members Of his Cabinet; one Of whor
states that he has decided to adopt il
