On the Goth Of July, Feast of st. Ann, Miss
Olivia Criehel, in Celigion Sister Mary Joseph,
xaa admitted to the white veil, and received
the habit Of the Order of Mercy, at the hands
of tho 1T. Rev. A. d. Martin.
The deeply interesting character of the
ceremsug attracted the majority of the Catho-
aios. saso q great nusnber of Protestsnts and
Israelites; and although the Ceremony took
place at o'clock p. N: under an oppressive
heat Of Sc deg, tho Cathedral proved to small
for the audience.
Already, on the 9Th of December last Feast
of the Hmmaculate Conception OF the Blessed
Virgin, two young postulants- Of the same Or
der, Misses Anna Maria Gladstone, of Athlone,
vYestmeath, and Anna o'COnnor, of Moatej
westmeath, ireland, were clothed with the re-
iigous habit and white veil. The frst-named
Young lady is called in religion st. Mary
Francis, the second st. Mary Bernard.
Since the foundation of the Diocese, in 1853,

we trust and hope the day 70 not far distant,
when our Southern girls, soaring above the
materialistic atmosphere of Professionalism, and
rejecting the baneful and corrupting Influence
of sensualist literature, will Setter I'M

nobled the wife and the mother by raising

DEVOTION TO THE SACRED HEART.--The
grevous wounds from which the Christian
world has been suffering have very naturally
given rise to q great extension of the devotion
to the Sacred Heart; devotion which is in
itself an appeal to divine compassion and an
Almighty power. Several of the diooeses of
France, Spain and Italy, as also the diocese of
Savannah, Ca, have been solemnly consecrated
to Che Sacred Heart of Our Lord /; and the pro-
l-ject for the erection of church in Paris under
that dedication as a national offering from
"penitent and deveut France" is being prose-
cuted with no little success. A desire has been
expressed, according to letter in the Aonde,
by large number of Cardinals and Bishops,
that the whole Church collectively should DO
consecrated in special manner to the Sacred
Heart. The Holy Father is stated to have
named a Commission to report to him upon
this request.

In our next issue we will publish the con-
GLIDING chapters of the thrilling tale of ''The
Conscript," which has given so much satisfac-
tion to our readers during the past three
months. The simplicity with which this talo
was told was perfectly charming, and the
graphic descriptions of the terrible scenes
through which the Conscript passed during
the campaign immediately succeeding the ap-
palling disasters Of Napoleon in Russia, give
one wonderfully true and vivid idea of the
glories and horrors of war.
Florine," the initial chapters of which will
appear in our next issue, is ono Of the most
powerful stories ever written In the English
language. 1t gives the history Of the triali
and triumphs of those heroes Of the ages OF
Faith (superoiliously called by the nineteenth
century 1.-THE Dark Ages ny who, thrilled by
the magical eloquence Of Peter tho Hermit
undertook the deliverance Of the Holy Land
from the oppression of the Infidels. We
earnestly hope that everyone Of our readers
will read this story, feeling assured that it will
give universal satisfaction. As it is difficult
at times to furnish back numbers Of the paper
we would advise all our subscribers to preserve
each copy as it appears, and to those who are
not subscribers we would only say, send ir
your names at once.

IN ACCUSATION BOLDLY MET.


An incident occurred during G.. W. Julian's
speech, Mt Muncie, Ind, last Saturday, which,
though not down in the bills, created more
excitement than the entire regular programme.
Mr.. Julian was proclain,ing against the
profiipacy and unfathfulness of the admins
tration officers, and sought to make his point
more forcible by local illustration. So he
said that General Tom Brady, editor of the
Nupcle Times, and who is States Consul at
St. Thomas. and who is temporsr ly at home,
deserted his post and spent his time at home,
but continued to draw his salary regularly.
Unfortunately for Mr.. Julian, General Brady
happened to be in the audience, and az this
accusation he rose to his fe t and exclaimed,
ssYou are liar" AT er pause it seemed to
occur to hin, that he hadn't put it quite strong
enough, and he repeated, You are ID
liar This unexpected onslaught staggered
the valiant Julian but he finally managed to
stammer. II would like 10 know who has Il e
floor ?, Il don't care who has the floor
said General Tom. You are liar and so is
any other man who makes such a statement as
that" The excitement in the audience for
A few moments was intense. and Julian was
terribly Disconnected, but he finally contrived
TO swallow the obnoxious words and the reg
uIar performance proceeded, but the spirit of
the meeting was pretty eiieetually dampened.

W. Il W. MISUNDERSTANDING ON APRIL 6rH-
CHARTER GRANTED, ETC.
A correspondent writing from Lewisville, to
the Oxford Press, on March 22d, says the meet
ing of committees and others, at that place, on
the 21st, transacted no business, owing to the
absence Of member who hadprobably not been
notified in time. 1t was concluded to adj djourn to
meet in the Kmbleyle Hall on the first Satur-
day in April (6th) at o'clock, and the Secretary
was directed to have notice given accordingly.
The charter has been granted 1t was signed
by the Governor on the 9th. II is for an extern
sion of the Wilmington u Western road from
has been obtained in Cecil county for the road
from Elkton to the Pennsylvania line, at or
near this village.
A little more surveying and little more in
quiry into the best and most profitable route and
then the work Of getting subscriptions will be
commenced in earnest, probably on different
routes. Granite rock of an excellent quality ex-
lists on the Kirk farm, near this village, also on
the Rudolph farm on the Big Elk.

Operations upon this road will be begun soon,
it is believed. As soon as the stakes can be
driven and theweather will permit the route and
grade chart will be completed. The grade will
present but little difficulty. W. F. Allen has
been elected Engineer Of the Company.
ANOTHER MARROW GAUGE PROJECT
The Oxford Press says, editorially, that there
has been considerable talk in that town, recent
ly of the construction OF marrow gauge railroad
from the coal regions, above Reading, to Mid
dletown, on the Del. r. r., and thence to the
Delaware bay, via Lancaster, Quarryville, Oxford,
Louisville and Elkton. The Press claims that
the project is not altogether speculative, and
there are only two or three links wanting in the
chain of this grand line, several of which are
already in progress.
