The Week up Town.

Mr.. Editor:-The grand Provincial Council
having attracted 80 much attention towards
the noble old Cathedral on Jackson Square, it
10 quite likely the events occurring at the 9th
or extremity of the city are comparatively un-
known to the mass of your readers. Those,
hewever, who travelled up in the Camp street
oars to the end of the Magazine Market on
Monday evening, and saw the crowds thronging
into st. Alphonsus Hall, on st. Andrew street.
had evidence that the amiable Bishop of Nat
chez was magnet whose attractive qualities
would draw masses of humanity wherever his
presence was announced. But as his Militant
Union lecture on this occasion has been re-
ported in the daily press, we'll pass on to the
next days incident.
On Tuesday morning 2lst inst, at 10 O'Clock
the old church of st. Stephen in Bouligny,
presented an unusual sight. few years ago,
this suburban chapel, on Napoleon Avenue
had limited congregation of Creoles, Gascons
and others, and its very existence was un-
known to thousands of our citizens But on
last Tuesday, the Feast of the h'id'Martyr'
sc. Agnes, the venerable edi6ce was packed to
over flowing with the best congregation in Amer
Seai This is superlative bat truthful, for the
! dense assemblage consisted almost exclusively
of young children and infants, whose newly
baptized souls are free from faint of sin. ls IL
wrong, then, to say q better congregation could
: NOT be found on earth.
A few years back, the children OF this par
ish held their first mass-meetiDg on st. Agnes
day, and by their contributions, began the
building of the new parish church and since
that time, in token of his gratitude, the pIous
nastor celebrates each anniversary by offering
She HOLY Sacrifice for the benefit of these chill
tsren to whom he also imParts special bless
ing on the occasion.
Here also was the ever-ready Bishop Elder
who smoke words of encouragement and adj
vice. hoping that the heaven-like feelings and
thoughts of this joyous day would remain in
each breast till that happier day which should
find us all once more together, never moro to
separate. Amongst other noticeable features
of this charming solemnity, the pure, spark
linz white flowers above and around the altar
were very prominent, and peculiarly signif-
can't while the modest little picture of st.
AGNES in the Sanctuary, was silently eloquent
of the humble pastors devotion to this new
found patron of his forthcoming new church.
While speaking of uptown" it may not be
be amiss to mention the delighted audiences
which have been enjoying, during the week,
the charming entertainments given by the
McEvoy family in st. Stephens Hall on Napo-
leon Avenue. Their Hiberpicon is doubly at
tractiVe now since Father Burke's eloquence
has made all Americans so familiar with the
prominent incidents here illustrated.
Advise your readers, Mr.. Editor, if they
want to see a handsome church of novel de-
sign, to take a trip in the CarrOllton cars aud
pay o visit on Napoleon Avenue to St. Ste

The Hibernian ASSOCIATION

| since it's organization in 1870, this Assooia-
ZION has rapidly increased In strength and
| inhuence, till now we feel confident that We
| arc not exaggerating In saying that it is the
| largest national Benevolent Association in the
south and that in point of actual csah spens
for benevolent purposes. il will compare favor
ABLY with the foremost. Nor can its benef-
cont influences be estimated by the work We
see geing on around rs, for it is we'll known
that this organization stimulated tho Irishmen
OF other States to organize on tho same basis,
and there are now similar associations in six
cities Of Mississippi and in one of Texas
From tho yearly report of tho officers of tho
Central Board for the year 1872, we give the
following extracts as showing the condition
and works of the Association in this city:

sisting of l,O92 active members. During the

ing, at o'clock, the Rev. D. MacKiniry, q dis
tingnished Jesuit, who has but recently come
to this city, will deliver lecture in the Church

congratulate you on the strength and solidity
Of She Association. Considering the hard
times, your finances are in healthy condition.
Several assessments are paid that have not yet
been collected from the Branches.
The deaths in the association during the
past year have been unusually large.
Assessments paid in 1870, twelve, and
amount to 81 1886 in 1871, ten, and amount to
$..s4s; in 1872, twenty-eight, and amount to
$l2,O62 40.
It will be seen by the above that tho large
sum Of Sc, o62 40, has been given to the fami-
lies of those members who died during tho
yeat. Mr.. John C. Murray, Secretary, in his
report, gives o tableaux with the name of ev
cry deceased member, the amount of assess
nents, the amount given to the family of de-
ceased, etc.
From this We see that the largest amount
given to any one family was S61e SO, and this
was when the assessment was Gfty-fve cents
for each member and there were L. 33 NOM
bers on roll. Since then the assessment for
members has been reduced to thirty cents,
hence the amount now given to the families
of the deceased approximate $500. 1t will thus
be seen that the amount given to the families
of deceased members, flactuates according to
tho number of members on the rolls and the
rate of assessment, which latter, however, has
peen thirty Genus since April iaSG 1uu WILL,
most likely, continue the same for some time.
Mr.. Frank McGloin, who so ably presided
over the Board during the year, closes his re.
port with the following just tribute to the gen.
crosby of the Hibernians, who, out of their
poverty, gave SIS, 900 to alleviate the distress
es of the widows and orphans:
cannot close this report without calling at
tention to one fact, which cannot but cause MS
to entertain feeling of just pride. By reference
to the Report of the Chairman of the Finance
Committee, it will he seen that the Association
has distributed among the widows and orphans
and needy heirs of deceased members the large
sum $12 O62. This is more than $1,000 per month
Taking into consideration that at least twenty
five of our departed bIethern have been buried ea
at an expense to the Branches of nearly $1,000
thus saving great expense to their families,
and that large payments have been made by
becomes evident that the charities of our As
ISOLATION during the past year have exceeded
tho sum of SIS, 900. For an organization COM
posed mainly Of poor men, this is something
extraordinary.

place in the Rev. Geo. G. Hardings fa-

classes spend their income in keeping
up false appearances. They too, must
wear doye-eolored pantaloons and
shiny boots. They must wear diamond
studs and seal rings, and carry young
ladies to the opera in hired carriages, at
the rate of three hours use for three
days wages. They must take turn
now and then at billiards., stand treat
to the cocktails, bet upon their veraeity

Mr., Beecher does not seem to enter
tain a very high opinion of some Of the
literature that is to be found in church
and Sunday school libraries, and in re-
ligious periodicals. In his column of
Answers to Questions in the Christian
Union, in answer to the interrogatory
" Is it wicked to read fiction 7" he an
swers thus: g That depends. We never
knew of q mans receiving serious NOR
al or intellectual injury from reading
the PARALLELS of Christ, the Pilgrims
Progress or Milton's Paradise Lost.
Some of the truest books ever written
have yet been fictitious in form. If by
fiction you mean such books as Adam
Bede or John Halifax, or Robert Fal-
coner, we do not think reading fiction
all unpardOnable sin-nOr indeed an
offence. But if by fiction you refer to
such fiction as one finds in dime novels,
the lower order of Sunday school books,
fulsome religious Biographies, and the
campaign lives of public men, we have
no hesitancy in saying that it isa great
waste of time and attention, and ia fire.
