TINS Washington Chronicle announces
that the name Of Colonel r. W, Hughes
will be sent in on Monday 10 the Senate
for the Virginia judgship, now vacant
and there is good reason to believe
that this will be the result. Colonel
Hughes is backed by Plat and sto-
well, and Wickham was favored
by the influence Of John Amber
Smith, Sener and Lewis but some Of
the latter set, fearing that Plat and
Stowell would slip over to Willoughby
or some other carpet-bagger, have
thought bes; to favor Hughes appoint
ment in preference to any carpet.bagger.
The President has been notified Of this,
and Hughes chances are regarded as
now almost certain. If nominated, he
will probably be confirmed by the SEN
ate without opposition.

Religious Profession.

moge beautiful and impressive ceremony
cannot be witnessed than that of the solemn
profession of religious. Such was the grand
treat enjoyed by the numerous congregation
which attended St. Patrick's Church last Sun
day morning.
The young lady professed on this occasion
was Miss Alexandrine Labry Gin religion, Sister
Mary Vincent, of the Order of Mercy).
At the appointed time the procession Gus
tomary on these occasions entered the church
in the following order: Cross-bearer-Miss
Eliza McNamee; Holy Angels-Misses Mary
Close, Annie Reynolds, L. aud N. Kennedy,
Annie Hart, Kate Heavey, Y. and b. Hare, A.
and X. Malone, and little Miss Molie McNamee;
postulants, protested religious, professed elect,
Mother Superior, acolytes and clergy. In this
order the procession assembled the centre aisle
to the sanctuary, when the professed elect with
the Rev. Mother and her Assistants entered
and occupied seats during the ceremony.
The celebrant now blessed the veil and ring
to be worn by the newly professed in failure,
and being thus invested, she arose saying, HE
has set q seal upon my face, that may admit
no lover but Him." 4 am espoused to Him
unto whom the angels minister, whose beauty
the sun and moon admire"
Rev. II. Hubert, S. J., spiritual director of
sc. Patrick's Convent of Mercy, oficiated, and
was assisted by Rev. J. Moynihan, Jr, as dea-
con, and Rev. J. G. Foote, as sub-deacon Rev.
T. Heslin acting master of ceremonies.
Father Hubert delivered beautiful and in
structive sermon, and explained at length the
nature of the vows of Poverty, Chastity and
Obedience about to be made by the protested
elect In conclusion, the Rev. Father congra-
tulated the practitioners of st. Patrick's parish
upon having such valuable acquisitions as the
Sisters of Mercy, and exhorted them to render
to them their support and assistance in all
their undertakings and numerous works of
charity.
In connection with the words of the Rev. Fa-
Their, it may not be inappropriate to quote as
follows from the last number of BrolUnson's
Rerie,U:
Gas long as the Sisters of Mercy adhere to
their institute, and faithful to the spirit OF
their foundress, they will be trne sponses
of Christ, and will draw down rich blessing
on every place in which they are established
We confess that below that of the priesth God
we know and can conceive no greater or nobleI
work than that to which Catharine McAuley
devoted her life and her fortune, and to which
the Sisters of Mercy are consecrated.

GRANT AND THE CATHOLICS.
THE AMERICAN COLLEGE IN ROME.

The Gasetta PItalia, Liberal journal,
informs Catholic Americans that the Grant
Administration has positively refused to
protect their right to hold possession OF
property in Rome, which they have pur-
chased for religious purposes. The Amer
lean Envoy, Mr.. Marsh, asked for instruc-
ton from his Government, and the Ga=-
zstta thus announces the answer -
Some of the Clerical" organs recently as.
serted that the American Government had
promised its protection to a religious institute
in Rome. We are in position to give o for
NAL contradiction to this report. Mr.. Marsh,
the United States Envoy, hearing that several
ecclesiastical establishments were about to
allege claims to be treated as corporations OF
intern national character, asked for detailed in
structions from Washington. The answer
was, that to all applications of the sort MIR;
Marsh should return an unconditional refusal
of assistance. The Government of the United
States does not consider itself justified IN in
terfering with the home legislation of friend
" Power. If the institutes in question be-
Iieye themselves entitled to be exempted from
confscation, let them pursue their claims IN
the italian courts OF law.
"The Government of the United States
does not consider itself justified In inter
fering with the home legislation OF
friendly Power" suppose the home leg
islation of a friendly Power interferes with
the rights and property of Ameslcan citi-
zeus as it Goes in this case, what then I
Why then the case must be taken on Its
merits; if the citizens be Catholic, the U. 5.

straws that show how the wind blows

Musical and Variety Entertainment at St. John
the Baptist Church (old Building)

We think it has been some time since an
audience attended an entertainment 80 pro-
ductive of pleasure as that given last SUNDAY
evening at the above place. The management
were most judicious in their selection OF the
exercises which formed the programme There
was beautiful singing by Mrs. Natih and
Messrs. Van Hufleu and Meteye; eccentric
specslites by Mr.. Bowden, and excellent in
strumental music by Miss Z. Pujoz and Messrs.
Joseph Miller, Jr., and Geo. Dix. The inter-
missions were enlivened by the Hibernia Cor
net Band, which played many popular airs and
marches. A little chap from st. Vincents
Home, Master p. Reynolds, sang " Medicine
Jack" with such ease of manner, play of feat
ure, and comic conception, that the whole
building echoed again and again with the
loudest applause. Another little fellow from
the "Home master McCune-was no less
fortunate in receiving marked appreciation
from the audience for the affecting manner in
which he sang "rve no Mother now" There
was a kindlier feeling in every breast a half
hidden tear in every eye, and qulckeneo
throbbinp of every heart when the minor pas
sages, 90 full of sad thoughts and mournfui
| ideas. were sung with that truth which nature
| smoke through the boy who really had no
mother now.
The whole was agreeably concluded by the
Young Mems Catholic Literary Society of St.
] Tberesa,s Parish who repeated the farce, "The
Ways of Windsor" played by them some two
| weeks ago. The acting was more natural, the
cast stronger, the text better known and the
positions like what they should be. We have
| no doubt this was owing to a little criticism of
ours, given in good part, in one of our recent
issues

~~-~-~~-~-->-->-~-~-~-~-~-~~
At the corner of johnson and Laharpe sts., |
Third District is situated an institution viii oh,
hoa greater extent than any of the other noble
charities of New Orleans, is calculated to ex-
cite the sympathy and command the assistance
|of the thoughtful and generous. We allude to
|the Home provided by the Little Sisters OF the
Poor, for those aged and infirm persons who
have been thrown upon the charity OF tue
world.
The history of this Order 10 justly considered
lone on the most wonderful manifestations OF
Irvine Providence in this century. Founded
in 1910, in France, by two young women, and
relying entirely upon Providence for the means
of accomplishing its noble mission, it has
spread over the whole of Europe and has also
several houses in the United States. Without
a cent of money the Sisters enter town and
receiving all OF the class for whose service
thew have dedicated themselves, they provide
them with all the necessaries of life. They
have but one bank, that of Providence, but
our teller, the Angel who records their noble
Deeds and like St. Lawrence of old, their only
riches in hand are the poor whose num-
bers, constantly increasing, never allow the
miracle by which they are provided for' 10
diminish. Thus they have everywhere built
comfortable dwellings for the old and nave
continued to provide for their every want; by
daily begging for food and clothing in the
the markets and at the residences and stores
of the citizens. The history of the Community
in this city is similar to that of every other
House of the Order. AS we know that brief
visit to the institution will give our readers a
better idea of the great work already accom-
plished by the Sisters and that still remaining
to be DONE than any words of ours, we advise
oil who take an interest in this matter to pay
visit to the Home.
A pleasant ride of fifteen minutes on the
EspIanade or Claiborne line of cars the form or
passing the corner of johnson, the latter the
corner of Laharpe will land the visitor within
three hundred yards of the institution, which
is q large, three-story brick building. Here he
will find over one hundred men and women,
all of whom have passed the age of three
score and many of whom are 30 infrm that
thew can never leave their beds. The most
admirable order reigns throughout the estab,
lishment, and we doubt if there is private
residence in this or any other city in which the
floors and every article of furniture are &c
scrupuiousiy clean.
For the beautiful new bedsteads, one hun
dred and ten in number, the institution is in
debted to the noble generosity of that sanity
woman, whose name has become synonym mt
of charity-Margaret Haughery.
The Sisters, We understand, are still indebted
to large amount, for the building, which cos
$4,000.
No more pleasant way of passing Sunda!
evening can be imagined than that of visiting
this place, add we can assure our readels tha
q courteous welcome awaits every one VIII
may call.
