Reception of Novices.

At st. John the Baptist's Church, last
Sunday, the congregation were edited by
witnessing the reception of four young
ladies as Novices in the Convent of the
Dominican Order. These young ladies
were the direct fruit of recent voyage to
Ireland made by one of the ladies of the
Order. She left on Easter Sunday of last
year, and by a happy coincidence, the
young ladies whom she brought back with
her some six or eight months ago, are this
year on Easter Sunday, made the recipients
of the white veil. They are Miss Eliza
Bowling, of Fermoy, County Cork, who
takes in religion the same of Sister Mary
Theresa Miss Mary Close, of Dublin, in
religion Sister Mary Philomene Misses
Helena and Kate Harding, of the City of
Cork, in religion, the former Sister Mary
Rose and the latter Sister Mary Bonaven-
tura.
The magnificent Church of st. John the
Baptist, though generally thronged by de-
vout congregation, found itself crowded
with an unusual concourse on this occasion,
Some were attracted by the anticipated
beauty of the ceremonies as performed by
their venerated pastor and his reverend as
sistants, others came through sympathy
with the devoted and noble order of nuns to
whom all are SO much attached and others
again being moved by a pious inclination
to assist at SO beautiful and glorious a
sacrifice where youth and tenderness laws
all its hopes and dreams in trustfulness
upon the altar of God,
AS the moment arrived, Immediately af-
ter High Mass, for the entry of the postu-
lants, their approach was heralded by a
general movement to get better position
for observation. In an instant profound
silence reigned and the procession entered
the sanctuary by side door. First came
a band of angels strewing the path with
flowers. The part of those sweet spirits
was personate by FIVE little Misses, Corinne
McGrath, Ellie McEneny, Annie Hogan,
Mary Warren and May Schmidt, ranging
from two to seven years of age. These
were followed by four misses of more pre-

Political Schools.

Among other items of Geographic news in
our colum ms this week will be found an an
nouncement that the Democrats have
elected a certain number of school direct
ors in st. Louis. This is suggestive of the
very evil to which we have occasionally
called the attention of our readers upon
the question of public schools. 1t will be
apparent to all men, on reflection, that
such schools must necessarily degenerate
into political engines.
In the first place their professorships are
given to partisans, as a reward for political
fidelity, in the next place it will be but
natural that an effort should be made to
educate the rising generation into a parti-
ality for the political doctrines of those In
power. The great plea for the public
school is the necessity of making good
citizens of the children and Of course
Republican directors will think Republican
principles entirely essential to this, while
Democratic directors will be equally certain
that their doctrine only can save the

Are these men wropgf Not at an. They
are both perfectly right, provided that the
basis Of the public school system is sound,
namely, the principle just mentioned, that
it is the business Of the State to see that
children are reared in the best manner
to make good citizens.
We have no doubt that if the school
rocks in vogue in the public schools of this
city were examined they would show. q
number of sentences not only in histories
but even in Biographies and grammars,

problems, where sectionalism is taught, the

Titled. Not only 30, but we should not be
at all astonished to find the protective

tralization eulogized and States rights
treated as the frontier of rebellion.
We should he under obligations to any
friends having an opportunity of making
such examinations, if they would favor

The Spiritual Crusade.

In the STAR of the Sd ult. we announced that
Jesuit missioner from the Holy Land, Rev.
Father Pailloux, had arrived in this city and,
with the appreciation of His Grace, Arch
bishop Perche, proposed enrolling the faith
full Soldiers of the Militia of the Sacred
Heart of Jesus. Since that time the Rev.
Father has been most earnestly at work in
several parishes. Amongst others, in that of
the Annunciation, in the Third District, where
his eloquence and learning have done much to
reawaken the people to the proper appreciation
of their duties to God and man. He now finds
it impossible, in the limited space of time left
him, to follow the same mode of procedure in
all parishes, hence he invites all those who
may wish to enroll themselves, to call at the
Jesuits' church, Baronne street.
The missions in whose interest lie is collect
ing contain 100000 Catholics, and are now edu-
eating 10000 Arab children, besides supporting
orphanages, etc. Formerly, glorious, Catholic
France furnished the funds for all these pur.
poses, but the terrible misfortunes which have
overtaken that country in the last two years
rendered her peop'e incapable of continu-
ing their assistance, hence the missioners were
compelled to look elsewhere for support.
They at length turned their eyes towards the
young giant of the West, America, and, at the
suggestion of our Holy Father the Pope, have
organized a spiritual crusade, on the following
conditions and with the following privileges:
CONDITIONS.
l. To receive certificate OF diploma of afili-
alton.

of our Saviour at Jerusalem.

REPRESENTATIVES, LEGISLATION. - Baden is
never behindhand in the war against ecclesi-
astical liberties. On the 18th ult the Second
Chamber at Carlsruhe passed two bills One
excluding all members of religious orders from,
any share in the education of youth in public
institutions, and the other prohibiting then,
from giving missions otherwise aiding the
secular clergy in their parochial ministrations,
unless their introduction into the parish shall
have been previously authorized by Govern
ment. A law has also passed in Saxouy, limit
ing religious instruction in primary schools to
three hours in the week, and forbidding the
clergy and the religious orders to open any
educational establishment.

The Ten.

Many of the eaders of the STAR seem
to doubt the historical fact of the execution
of ten men by Col. Mcneil, in Missouri, as
related in tile beautiful tale of "Ellen Fitz-
gerald" just concluded in our columns.
From the April number of tie Southern
Magasine, published at Baltimore by Muir
dock, Brown and Gen. D. II. Hill, we take
the following facts:
In the article headed the "Palmyra AIos-
sacre." and signed III" of Palmyra, Missouri.
we learn the full particulars.
Col Porter, OF Prices command Confederate
Army, on September IL, 1862 surprised the post
of Palmyra, and captured several prisoners.
among them one Andrew Allsman. All the
ne, being known to be a spy, was retained, to
be taken to Richmond for trial. While in
charge of the Guards, Allsman was shot some
say to prevent his escape, others that he was
Some weeks after, Col. John Mcneil, having
recaptured Palmyra, issued an order that #
Allsman was not delivered to him within ten
days, alive and well, that he would execute
ten men chosen by lot from the prisoners in
Palmyra jail. Nothing was heard Of the absent
man indeed, the truth concerning his death
selected. They were Willis Baker, a man
seventy years old, Thos Humstead, Morgan
6iXler, Eleazar Lake, Marion Lair, Capt Thos
Sldener, John Y McPheeters, Hubert Hudson,
John M. Wade and - Humphreys Two or
three of them had probably served with Col.
Porter, but the rest were nnoffending citizens.
On the morning of the execution Hiram Smith
was substituted for Humphreys, by VIM. r.
strachan, McNell's Provost Marshal. This was
not done at Smiths request, as some have
thought but was the result of an episode more
horrible, if possible. than the murder of the
ton, and in which Strachan was the PRINCIPAL
actor.
On the 18th of October, 1862, the ten victims. |
as shown above, were shot without trial The
niscreant Strachan died in New Orleans about
ave years ago, of delirium tremens, but Nc |
Neil, the head villain is unpublished
Thus it will be seen that though the Incl
tents in the story are made to vary so az
@ suit its plot, the leading facts are in strict
Iccord with history.

CATHOLIC MILITANT UNION OF THE CRoss.-
The organization of this Society progresses il
the various parishes of the city, and the
calumnies against it, propagated by a fanatical
paper of the First District, will only tend to
hasten its development.
We have it from source which we know
to be authentic that, now that the Lenten
labors and Easter festivals past, his
Grace the Archbishop is going to send a
circular letter to all the priests of the
Diocese in behalf of this Society. His object
will be to make universal throughout the
Diocese the organization of society which
alone, through the active union of all Catho-
lies, can arrest the inroads of that impious and
anti-social international which labors to bury
both religion and society under a common
heap of ruins.

Misses Flora Schmidt and Marie Zeigler
were crown-bearers and Misses Mary
Foucber and Emma Philips, habit-bearers.
The postulants, beautifully and tasteful
~ dressed as brides then entered accom-
panied by their bridesmaids, Misses Emma
Doyle, Jane Waldo, Lizzie Rnrns and Kate
Connolly. Two of the Sisters in their at
tractive habit Of pure white wooden brought
up the rear Of the procession bearing
lighted tapers.
1t is unnecessary to fully describe a
ceremonial which is we'll known to our
readers. The celebrant was the Very Rev.
Canon Moynihan, pastor of the Church, as
sisted by Rev. Fathers Kennedy and
Hegarty.- Father Simon was also present.
During the whole ceremonial the devotion
and interest of the crowded copgrega alton
was most apparent. The choir under the
skilful leadership of Mr.. Figenschu intoned
the "Te Deum" and performed Lambil-
lotte's Regina Celi."
The white veil thus received will be
worn by the novices for one year, when, if
they persist in their conviction of a voca-
ton, it will he exchanged for the black veil
and the full religious profession.

RELIGIOUS TEACHERS IN GERMASY-The
Government organs announce that, in order to
put n stop to the practice of employing nuns MS
school teachers, o normal school for the train
ing of female lay teachers is to be est ablished
at Dusseldorf. At present Bismarck's one
policy is to exclude Catholicity from the school
and, if possible, to convert the priest into a
mere civil functionary. And all this time
socialism is making vast progress in Prussia.
They have had great meeting in Kopenick,
at which the question of the community of
wives was discussed with so much heat, as to
lead to blows and bloodshed. Tho affair has
since been called by the journals, 1.-THE battle
of Kopenick."

st Joseph's Church and Fair.

AS, the Fair to replenish the build
ing fand of st. Joseph's New Church
opened last evening Saturday, our readers
Will naturally expect to hear something of
the present condition of the building itself.
On very recent visit we found that its
majestic walls had risen far more rapidly
than we had supposed. The front is already
sufficiently elevated to give some idea of
the grand FACADE, which, according to the
plan, will be one of the architectural Won
ders of the Continent. Columns of red
granite, arches spanning the space between
them, white stone pilasters ornamentinc
the front of the towers, and above them
colossal statues Of the Blessed Virgin and
st. Joseph in immense inches, all combine
to give some idea of the glorious plan
which we hope is soon to be realized in our
midst.
In the yard can be seen, already finished
fully or partly, the huge stone tracery work
which is to ornament the wheel window
high up above the front portal, as we'll as
stone mouldings for other ornamental
portions of the front. Between the arches
over the front granite columns and the
wheel window above, will be placed two
immense stone stars, each forming the
frame of a stone image, one of the Holy
Father, the other of our Most Rev. Arch
bishop.
The sight of what has already been ac
complished is enough to arouse the en-
thusiasm of every individual in the whole
parish, as well, indeed, as of every citizen
who takes a pride in the architectural
| glory of our city. For this reason, as we'll
as for others, we are satisfied that the Fair
now in progress will prove to be one of the
greatest successes on record in this CITY.
Money has not been as plentifully made this
season as often heretofore, but still there is
good deal of means among the people, and
when their enthusiasm is kindled it W ill come
to the surface. Indeed it would be hard to
find a more appropriate object upon which
to expend surplus funds than the speedy
completion of a splendid structure devoted
to the worship and honor of God. Without
some such demands forcing themselves oc-
casionally upon the attention of Catholics.
many of them would, like men without
faith, become welded to the pursuit of
wealth and become mere worldlings-regu-
lar money bags without any thought be-
yond the gathering together of goods which
they would never use, here or hereafter.
We invite all men who suspect them.
selves of tendency towards avarice, to
counterfeit the vice at once by simply en-
tering the doors of the Fair room. That's
all they will have to do; the rest of the
remedy will take care of itself. The ladies
who preside there understand the art OF
counteracting the vice in question most
efectually and at the same time most
agreeably. 1t is unnecessary, however, to
say anything more on the subject, as no
man Of the parish will consider himself
happy if unable to say that lie has seen the
Fair for himself.
