Our Pos1oFFICE.-lt is source of great
pleasure to us to testify to the regularity and
prompttuds with which all mail matter in the
newspaper department of our Postotiice is dis
trihuted. Col Lowell has recently made i'm.
provements in that department which deserve
the thanks of all newspaper publishers. and
his evident desire to have the work Of the
Office promptly attended to, certainly deserves
commendation. A few moments after the ar
rival of n mail of twelve or fifteen bags, every
paper is in its proper box. Though we have
had occasion to complain about The ron arrival
of our foreign mail, are satisfied that the
fault lies with the ocean steameTs-the Govern
ment having recently taken the contract from
one line and given it TO another-and not with
our postoffice.
MIR. II. c. Tolcdano, the CHEF clerk, whose
administrative capacity is of tie highest order
has been mainly instrumental in organizing
and bringing this department to its present.
state of perfection.

Lent.

In three days more we have the recur-
renee of Ash Wednesday, the first day of
another Lent. This grand spiritual re-
treat, which comes every year, ought to-
make every body saints, and SO it would if
tits opportunities were profited by as they
might be. Lent is a season of mortifica
spirit of it's institution On the contrary
how many there are who, while flattering
themselves that they observe the formali-
ties of the law, take every opportunity of
avoiding compliance with its intentions
This is merely a self-de!usion in the case of
p great majority of practical Catholics but
that self-delusion, though not actually
criminal, deprives them of all merit and all
fruit of profit.
In the forty days. fast of our Saviour He
left tue world behind Him. He made His
detachment from it an image of death I,
when friends, possessions and earthly COM
forts are all parted with forever. In the|

fast, and to some extent initiates it, thel
Church desires that all men should practice!
something of the same detachment from
worldly pleasures and qualifications. Id
: gives them a chance of experiencing the
pressure of poverty in scantiness Of diet
land abstinence from expensive amuse-
ments. The services of the Church are
especially solemn, and are arranged with a
view to exemplify the hollowness of earth
ly pomp and interests.
How rapidly charity would grow, how
deeply pride would be humbled if, during
the period of one Lent, men should practi-
cally detach themselves from their wealth
and their ambition, as though already dead
or about to die! How many noble uses
would be found to which their means could
be applied, If they put aside for that purpose
such money only as would be saved through
the austeries of the season! What blow
to worldly vanity and the passion for pu bic
admiration l. would be, if ladies should
dress in real accordance with the spirit of
simplicity which characterized our Saviour's
garments during His fast
! 1t is to be hoped that all Catholics will
endeavor to profit by the approaching Lent
to the fullest extent. New Orleans preseutsI
every opportunity that could be desired.
The solemuities of the season are devoutlyi
observed in all our churches, eminent
preachers labor assiduously in our pulpits,
and the poor here, as elsewhere, are always
with us. DAigent attendance in the house
/ of prayer, modification in bodily comforts,
and generous assistance to suffering hu- l
manity, will go far towards opening our
3eyes, so that we may see the paitry inter
ests of this life in the same light in which,

St. Joseph's Missionary Society.

Our readers are aware that this Society
has been established in England as an
auxiliary Of tie great Catholic propaganda
and they have all heard that four of its
young missionaries have already arrived III
this country, and established themselves in
|Meryland, on q mission among the colored
people. The Society enjoys the fullest ap'
prevail and favor Of the highest authorities
i'm the Church. 1t has been specially bless
ed by the Sovereign Pontiff, endorsed by
THE Congregation of the Propaganda al
Rome. and recommended in the most ear.
nest manner by prelates in England, Ire.
land, America and elsewhere. 1t is vel
known to our readers that His Grace
Archbishop Spalding, gave most tlatter'
ing reception to the missionaries above
mentioned, and foresaw for them glorious
career of utility.
The Society consists of an Apostolic AS
|sociation Of members of the clergy and laity
for the purpose of propagating Christianity

Europe, to be sent beyond its confines
chiefly to the heather races, and to the
colored people of this country. 1t now has
% college at Mill Hill, London, where there
are already some twenty or thirty ecclesias'
teal students of various uatonalitles-
English, Irish, German, Dutch and French
preparing for the missions. AS we have
seen, four of its former students have al
ready. been ordained, and have come tc
maryland, thus devoting the first fruits OF
the work to America and it's colored people
All members of the Society-lay as well
as clerical-by assisting in the educating Of
priests for the purpose intended, become
|missioners themselves, and partake Of the
merits of the more active laborers. They
become especially attached to st. Joseph
and are in a peculiar Kramer under his pro.
|tection, lie being recognized as the first
missioner of the Church-the first who car.

people. AS is beautifully said of him, in a
little pamphlet, now under our hands, re-
hating to this work, the fruit of his mission
was manifest after a time, because she
Thereby obtained that the Thebaid in due

All that is necessary for becoming q
member of the Society is to be enrolled on
it's books, pray for the extension of the
Kingdom of our Divine Lord, and give
|alms once year, if possible, for the educa.
|tion of missioners or for the establishment
lof missions among the colored people.
The Very Rev. Herbert Vaughan, D. D.,
the principal founder of the Missionary
college above mentioned, is now in our
lefty, and will be here for few days more.
Any contributions to the good work could

House of Refuge and Insane Asylum.

House of Refuge and Insane Asylum.
We earnestly call the attention Of the
public to the nature of the move in con-
temptation in regard to those two lnstitu-
lions, the Boys House of Refuge and the
insane Asylum. 1t is seriously proposed
to locate them in the Girod Asylum. This
building, as is we'll known to many OF our
readers, is located in the swamp. 1t is
Just beyond the new St. Patricks Gene
terry, which is itself on the other side Of the
road leading from the halfway house on
the New Canal to the Bayou Bridge. Just
beyond that road the ridge falls of into q
stagnant swamp, and in the edge OF this
swamp stands the Grod Asylum.
1t is evident that nine out of ten of the
boys sent there would certainly CONTRACT
the swamp fever. If they should recover
from it, they might, in the course Of time,
become acclimated and enjoy comparative
health, but of what use is SO severe an or.
deal, unless voluntarily undergone by per-
sons who expect to make permanent
residence of the pestilential quarter The
laws of the State and city provide for the
punishment Of unruly children by incar-
ceration in an establishment to be called a
House OF Refuge, but it does not subject
them to imminent risk of health and even
life. Indeed the chances OF a boy who bad

little vagrant. The former would so to|

by q verdict of his benevolent countrymen, j
while the vagrant child would be hurried
of by implacable city administrators to bel
tortured by a burning fever, and probably
buried at the conclusion Of it. The PROPOSE

untold horrors to be practised on helpless
children who have no one to protect them
and are totally unable to escape from the
tolls which fate and heartless power will
have thus wovenIround them. AS to the]
Insane Asylum we are not SO pronounced
in our views. The poor, miserable, naked j
lshiveIipg wretches confined within it'd
limits would be doubtless much better off
liz they were killed and put out of their
MISERY at once. The pictures Of that es-
Establishment that have recently been put
before the public would justify any philan-
lthropist in considering death as boon to-
it's inmates. Freezing, covering in semi
2nakedness, writhing in the pangs of pneu |
monia, they might ask, if they had intelii-
4sence enough, what right the State had to
ginhict capital punishment upon them by
torture. Better let them go to the Girod
Asylum and die in the summer time when
the weather is warm.

How TO SLEEP.-We are often asked

wakeful persons. The "high pressure"
principle on which many of our business

asleep before they can count fifty in this

sons can count one hundred and find
themselves awake, but should it happen
