OUR FIFTH VOLUME.

In presenting, as we do to-day, tho first
number OF our fifth volume, we are happy
to inform our readers and patrons that our
subscription list is larger now, than ever
heretofore and ia steadily increasing.
There can. be no doubt that New Orleans
and its dependencies. present an ample
field for the support of first class Catho-
lie weekly. Like all other Catholic works.
However, it must build up on its inertia
only, and cannot count on patronage ex-
cept in proportion as it approves itself
worthy Oft It is hoped that the same
system of direction which has hitherto con-
Quoted this enterprise with safety through
the perils of beginning and the discour-
agemeat of general depression and poverty,
will gradually make it mere and more de-
serving of public confidence and finally
place it on the pinnacle of success.
The gentlemen whose labors as Directors
have been SO disinterestcd and earnest can
have no reward except that of seeing them
crowned with success in the establishment
of journal which shall be at once q credit
to them and anvhonor to it's cause. We
would merely suggest that they merit the
cooperation of their fellow citizens, and
that little hearty interest on the part OF
all good Catholics would lessen their labors
and hasten the triumph of their exertions.
The morning star and Catholic messenger. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1868-1881, 1872-02-04

These propositions are % preposterous,
In themselves, 30 evidently false and malig-
nant. that it IL unnecessary TO await any
further detaiis in order to brand them as
the ofspring of the father Of lies. Their
presence betrays an animus Of hatrod and
anscrup9lousness on the part Of their origi-
nal author-not the Picoyune-that renders
| worthless the whole chain Of reasoning
with which they may be connected. There
fore, the speculation as to the forthcoming
growth Of Rome, is entitled to no weight
derived from the responsibility of its
| source. 1t may be that Rome will grow,
under the hot-bouse influence of a royal
court, but the article above quoted admits
that it has grown from 100000 to $1,000
population in the last fifty years and it will
hardly do any better in the future.
The fact is that, under the benefcent
government of the Popes, Rome has been
the happiest, freest and most lightly taxed
city of the old world, and perhaps of the
whole world. There was no species OF
misfortune or misery unprovided for by
public and private charity, No distress
could exist without being cared for. Per-
haps the people may have been a little too
I aaffaestienipg in their kindness, and beg
CARS little too bare-f faced in their exac-
tons, perhaps the spirit of worldly greed
may not have urged on material progress
with such tireless vigor as in New York, but
whether they lost anything in point of con-
tentment and Happiness by their system in
contrast with ours, is another thing.
In parting with the cold " Picayune and
its article, We will say in favor of the
writer of it that he doubtless believed all
he wrote. He was the mere medium, and,
no doubt, an innocent one, of that system
of lying invented and fostered by the
prince of darkness, whereby so many up
right men are most banefully influenced.
Education has SO prepared the minds of
most of our writer's and men of letters,
that they can believe almost anything they
hear against the truth and accept without
hesitation every evil report, provided it's
object be the Catholic Church. 1t affords
but another reason why Catholics should
insist upon having their Children educated
under safe and proper influences.

LoSoEvITY.-Among the death notices pub
lished> in to-day's issue of the STAR will be
found recorded the deaths of Mr.. Daniel
Tompkins and wife, whose ages combined
amount to the extraordinary figure of 100
years. They were both born at Carrigahelt,
County Clare, Ireland, and, ufter living to-
sether in their native place for nearly four
score years, departed this life within twelve
days of each other, the husband having at
tanned the age of leo years and the wife that
of 90. Mr.. John Tompkins, the father of Mr.. d,
Tompkins, who was also born in the same town
and lived there all his life, died some years
ago at the age of ITO years. To our respected
friend, Mr.. Patrick Tompkins, of st. Joseph's
Parish, the son of the deceased, we tender our
sincere sympathy in his bereavement.

The ENTERPRISE CoURIER-By its issue of
the 9th ult. we see that this sterling weekly,
published in of the most populous and
thriving portions of Mississippi, has passed
into the hands of our young friend, Mr.. w. ]
Adams, who, in various capacities, has been
for some years past connected with the Picd-
yune Being young man of ability, energy
and rare judgment, and a fluent writer withal,
he brings to his new enterprise vast amount
Fof experience in all the departments of the
business, having served long apprenticeship
in the typographical, editorial and business
departments of the Picdyune. When we express
the hope and belief that he will secure for the
Courier popularity, influence and circulation
equal to that attained, in years past, by the
Eastern Clarion, of Paulding, under the admin
istration of his father, the late Simeon r.
Adams, We feel that we have expressed all
that any newspaper publisher and editor could
possibly desire.

THE LATE BISHOP OF RIcuMoND.-HavinC,
in common with many other Catholic papers
of the country, by copying the beautiful obitu-
airy of Bishop McGill which appeared in the
Baltimore Mirror, led our readers into the be-
lief that the Bishop YVES convert to Catho-
lcsm, we feel it pleasure and a duty to cor
rect the error. The Louisville Catholic Adrocate,
a very good authority, states that the Bishops
parents were both good Catholics. His father,
the late james McGiil, ST., of Bardstown, Ky,
was in his lifetime not only noted for his ad-
herence to Catholic truth, but also for his
readiness, on all proper occasions, to give in
quirers a~"reason for the faiN that was in
him." better instructed Catholic, among
the laity, at least, was not to be met with any
where. His children, from their infancy; were
all reared Catholics.

on all days except Wednesdays and Fridays,
the Ember Days, and Holy Thursday.
The law of abstaining from flesh meat is
binding OH all who are not exempt by reason
of bad health or necessity-even on children,
from the age of seven years and parents COM
init a mortal sin every time they allow their
children to eat meat when it is forbidden.
All persons are bound to fast who have
reached the age of twenty-one years. unless
lawfully exempted on account of hard labor or
bad Notwithstanding which they ought to
consult their Pastor or Confessor, and accept
from him some other good work to be perform
ed in place Of fasting.
Mothers either bearing children. or sucking
them would do wrong to fast.
The law of fasting requires that person
should not eat moro than one full meal in the
day, and not until midday, or near it.
A collation. may be taken in the evening, but
it should not exceed the fourth part of an ordi
nary dinner, or ut most eight ounces.
When meat is allowed on week days in Lent,
persons who are bound to fast cannot use meat
except at the ono prinpipal meal. On Sundays
it may be used at every meal.
1t is not allowed to eat flesh and fish at the
same meal in Lent-not even on Sundays.
In the morning, the drinking of coffee, ETC.,
is not forbidden, but there is no permission to
eat, unless it be SO little that the law is not
presumed to notice it.
Sometimes, also, persons whose health or oc-
equations would not allow them to fast rigor-
onsly, may, by eating o small amount, be en-
ab1ed to observe the fast in part In such
cases it Is laudable.
BY order of the Right Rev. Bishop.

trade and fills state prisons, ,penitentiaries aims

but to attempt to stop all this is violating those
inalienable rights guaranteed to us by Democratic
government. T
