ST. PATRICK's Convert OF MERCY.-Last
Thursday evening, the girls of this school
gave an exhibition in st. Vincents Hall Fou-
cher street. We have no doubt the audience
would have been larger, had not &he theEnoRs-
eter warned people of the discomfort attend-
ant upon o crowded hall, still There was suf-
fcient number to stimulate the girls in their
efforts to please those assembled. The great
warmth of the evening necessitated MS to
leave before the close of the entertainment
But while we were there, we enjoyed that por-
ton of the exercises being gone through.
tiny miss of four five summers-M. Nc
Nance, delighted us very much by the natural
manner in which she spoke q " little recita-
ton" about "The Robin in Her window"
The girl who played Mrs. Buttermilk," de-
served great creditfor her humorous and lively
rendition of character. " The Flower Chill
dren" was piece introducing crowd of little
girls who did very well-particularly the two
Misses Kennedy, who weremore distinct end
spirited than children of their age are gener-
ally found to be. We believe the remainder
of the programme was of higher and q more
interesting nature than the part we witness
ed. Had the temperature been less warm
thus allowing us to stay longer-we feel conf
dent we would have to extend this notice with
favorable remarks on the chaste acting, fne
singing and excellent delivery of the larger
girls of st. Patricks Convent.

The Voice of the Holy Father.

"Proyidence seems to have given, in our
day, great mission to the Catholic Press.
It is for it to preserve the principles Of
order and Of faith, where they still prevail,
and to propagate them where impiety and
cold Indifference have caused them to be for
gotten" from Pope Plus TX, in 1851.

Rev. RoBys A. ABELL.-The Catkolse
Advocate Of louisville, in us last number,
records the death Of the eminent clergy
man above named. His decease took place
In that city on the 29th June ult., at the
st. Joseph's Infrmary of the Sisters of
Charity on Fourth street, where he was
residing as chaplain. Father Abel was at
the time eighty-one years of age and, up
to within few moments of his death, en-
joyed q remarkable amount of physical as
well as mental health and vigor.
The Advocate's article gives brief sketch
of his life, which appears to be based SO
details, that we were surprised to find
therein an important omission. Father
Abel was for several years Yice-Presi-
dent of St. Joseph's College at Bardstown,
as many Southern gentlemen of the pres
ent day will remember with unqualified
pleasure. The writer of this notice hap
pened to be under bis care during that
time, and can corroborate of his own know
ledge all that the -Advocate says of his
splendid ability. The Advocate, in a short
sketch, could not, of course, d we'll on that
unalterable patience and good-nature
which made him so popular with the stu
dents, but those of thep who survive will
recall with more enthusiasm the genial
sympathies of his noble heart than even
the splendid endowments of his intellect.
Father Abel WAS 30 remarkable a man
and orator, in the pioneer days of Western
Catholicity and his reputation was 80 bril-
\
ographical eketch would not be ont of
place in referring to him, but press of
matter limits MS to the brief and feeble tri-
bute above given. Rev. Father Abel was
the uncle of Judge Abel who presides so
satisfactorily over our First District Court
in this city.

THE CONCERT LAST SUNpAY.--The Concert
given last Sunday evening at Odd Fellows
Hall, for tho benefit of the Sisters Of Mercy
was not as well attended rs it should have
been. Doubtless this was owing to tho great
heat and the indi sposition of people to crowd
into hall ,.even for the pleasure of hearing the
excellent amateurs who appeared. In this
view of the case and believing that many
tickets were sold that were not used, we are
lead to suppose that at least something was
made to enable the Sisters to meet their house
hold expenses for the next two months, till the
school term commences again. The ladies and
gentlemen who performed gave eminent sat
isfaotion to tho persons present, and We are
satisfied that under other circumstances the
fact that they were to appear would have
drawn quito as large an audience as it has al.
ways, heretofore, done

We recommend the 4s3 who are in favor

The Answer, Which Was Not An Answer

OF SEVENTEEN BISHOPS OF THE ENGLISH
PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH To A
PETITION SIGNED by FOUR HUNDRED AND
ETGuTY-THREE CLERGYMEN OF THE SAME
CHURCH AND THE SAME FAITH.
The Upper House of Convocation of the Pro-
vince of Canterbury, recently held q discus
siou on Confession in the Church of England
This discussion is not without its interest to
uA 1t will be remembered that in the petit
ton presented by the four hundred and eighty
three clergymen, q short time since, this point
was made That in view of the widespread
and increasing use of sacramental confession,
provision may be duly made for the education
selection, and licensing of duly qualified CON.
fessors" The matter came up in the Upper
House on May. 9th, the Archbishop of Cantor
bury presiding.
After reading the petition, the president
said: :" need scarcely say that this petition
does not express any sentiments of mine :" and
gave it as his opinion that no person should
be allowed to hear confession without license
but not that every clergyman should be Ii
censed..
The Bishop of Winchester was opposed to
Young and Impractical men taking upon them
selves the office of general cOnfessors. This
was dife1ent thing from giving spiritual ad-
vice and consolation 30 q hardened conscience,
which it was the right and duty of any priest
to do.

necessity for licensing persons for this purpose,

We are receiving so many letters every
week from those who are not of our
church, asking questions in regard to our
devotions and practices, that, owing to the
multiplicity of our duties it is simply i'm
possible to answer them all. The most of
those who thus write to us are readers of
the STAR. We deem it best therefore to
devote column of our journal each week
to the work of giving q general and public
answer to all such questions. Private and
detailed replies to each letter would, we
know, be better and moro satisfactory-but
while We have tho desire to do 30, we have
not the time. The fact of the increasing
number of such letters is proof of the good
which is done by the MORNING STAR
and the general answers, which We shall
give in its columns, may add to the inter
est with which it is read.-Last week we
received no less than seven letters,-but to
answer them separately we would be
obliged to multiply our pen Which is kept
busy enough otherwise aud our time,
every moment of which from dawn till
into the night is occupied with duties as
various as they arc urgent. But there is
nothing sweeter than the work which is
given to God and holy church. 30 ..'

Millinery Opening.

Friday last we were attracted to the
Excelsior Corner" by the crowd Of
fashionable people that were continual
ly swarming there. 1t did not take u:
long to find out what the trouble was,
We then remembered that Mrs. Uhler
had advertised that her semi-annual
Opening" of Millinery and Fancy Goods
would take place that day. Having an
eye to the beautiful, and desiring to see
what others seemed to be SO much en-
joying, we accordingly pushed our way
through and were soon gazing in
wonder upon the many beautiful thing
that filed every portion Of her rooms,
There were bonnets aud hats without
number, and exquisite in style and taste
Then there were ribbons as pretty as
ever futtered in the breeze. Gloves BY
the hundred, dress goods rich and du-
rable, pretty muffs for pretty misses,
beautiful plumes that make the Ia
dies go into raptures, and the hus-
bands reach far down in their pockets
for the price,-but what husband does
not like to see his wife wear beautiful
plume, even if it does cost money.
There was no end to the flowers, so
rich and tasty, jewelry, shawls, hosiery,
tides, patterns, lace hair goods, per-
fumerv, ladies neck-ties, ladies' white
goods, &c. We noticed something new
and beautiful for children's winter
clothing-Fleece-lined Percale. But
we haven't time to tell our readers all
we saw, but must let them 60 and see
for themselves.

Fatal Accident.

A sad accident occurred Thursday
evening last, on the c. Mt. V. & C. r.
R., between Akron and New Portage.
As the passenger train, with an extra
number of coaches attached, heavily
loaded with people returning from the
Akron Fair, approached the vicinity of
Summit Lake, the engineer discovered a
man walking upon the track, and al
though the usual alarm was given, and
every effort made to stop the train, he
was struck by the pilot, and thrown
some distance from the track. The
train was stopped as soon as possible.
backed to the place where the acciden!
occurred, and the unfortunate man
placed in the baggage-car, where he
shortly afterwards expired. We un.
derstand his name was Kramer, a man
about fifty-five years of age, unmarried
and resided near New Portage, where
his body was left.

Unsp0tted Character,

Money is good thing, especially in
these hard times, but there is something
thousand fold more valuable. 1t is
Characteristic consciousness of a pure
and honorable life. This should be a
mans first aim to preserve at any cost.
In times of commercial distress, while
some are proved and found wanting,
others come forth as tried by fire. Here
and there one comes out Of the furnace
far more man than before. Amid the
wreck of his fortune he stands erect-a
noble specimen of true manhood. We
have occasionally witnessed an example
of courage in such crisis, of moral in
trepidity, that deserved all honor. lie,
it be the aim of every business man.
above all things else, to keep his purity
! unstained. This is the best possession
this is q capital which can never bs
taken from him-this IL the richest In.
heritanee he can leave to his children.

How to Tighten Moman,s Labor.

If ''time is money!" then everything
that tends to facilitate labor is posi-
tive pecuniary benefit to mankind. The
best sewing machine or churn is not a
"good strong woman" as experience
proves. So Sapolio, in enabling one
woman to easily do as much cleaning
of every kind in one day as two wo-
men can do in two days with the scrub
bing brush and soap, is positive bless
ing to the human race. No woman who
has once used it will ever use anything
else as substitute. Sold by all dealers.
The cheapest as well as best cleansing
substance in the world.

No Excuse for Idleness.

There is no excuse for idleness now.
The farmers want all the hands they
can get, and workmen are in demand
in town. When you see a rugged, har-
dy individual standing on the street
corners, with his hands planted in his
breeches pockets, complaining about
hard times, and waiting like Old Micaw-
Der for something to turn up," you
may be safe in concluding that he is
badly afflicted with constitutional lazi-

The Atlantie-& Great Western people
report that the passenger earnings of
that road between Cincinnati and New
York were never so heavy as at pres
ent, and the increase is looked upon as
a natural result of the efforts made by
the management of the line to deserve
well of its patrons. Under the man.
agement of Mr.. Devereaux, the leading
idea, as communicated in orders to em-
ployes, is to make the line justly popu-

seem, from the increasing popularity OF
the route with the travelling public
that this wise policy is bearing its nat.
