CATHOLIC EDUCATION.
Lecture by the Rev. j. L. Spaulding at
the CQ0per Inatitufe.

Lecture by the Rev. j. L. Spaulding at
the Cooper Institute.
The lecture hall OF the Cooper Institute was
densely thrOnged last evening by Catholics OF every
position, whs came TO hear discourse delivered
by Father Spaulding. under the auspices OF one OF
the circles Of the Catholic Union. The reverend
lecturer, in presenting the claims OF the Church to
educate her own children, refuted. in style both
animated and forcible, the oft.repeated charges
Of ignorance made against the Catholics. The
greatest minds OF the world belonged to her fold;
she threw her mantle Of protection over the arts
and evoked the noblest efforts of genius. Never
thelessshe impresses upon all the principle that it is
not the genius the hero nor he of worldly
that is the greatest man, but he who, spurning the
wealth and pleasures OF life, devotes his talent his
energies and his whole being to God. Hence 1t Is
that she prOclaims religion to be the most i'm
portant part OF education. popular orator had
averred that
INTELLECTUAL CULTURE

how to read and write. How futile to PROFOUND

centyes Of of ancient p intcliect and ' genius
were comparatively ign0rant-in fact, barbariansY
What were the Macedonians and the Huns The
Romans who conquered Greece were far more lg-
norant than the Grecians. Education that is
merely intellectual, then, Is not the criterion or
the cause of human progress. Still less is 1t the
handmade OF human liberty. 1t Is not the scholar
that loves liberty most-it Is the VINO has aith
in mis- heart. All the
GREAT BATTLES OF LIBERTY
have been fought and won by men who struggled
in the name OF God and their faith. In this way
did the mightiest warrior OF modern times, who
placed his brothers on European throRes receive
his first deathblow from the ignorant peasants Of
Catholic Spain, who fought shouting "God and
fatherland." And yet large section or the Ameri-
people wish to give our children an education
without religlon-to take them from the parents
and give them up as
SLAVES TO THE STATE,
like the pagans OF old. New England, par ercel-

The rope was then placed about his neck, the
shr0ud was adjusted, the white cap was placed
above his head, and the laps were tied 80 that his
body was completely shr0uded In the CHASTITY suit

he did so in loud voice, Lord Jesus. receive my

His neck was fairly broken, and he died almost
without the semblance OF struggle.

RENEWED TRIUMPH OF AUDITOR
CLINTON's SCHEME.

A Fresh Enemy Of the People Rears its
Dragon Head, but Shares in the Dis
comfture Of Judas Dubuclet.
Auditor Clinton encountered fresh
opposition in endeayoring to cons1fm-
mate his second purchase Of State
warrants, and this from no less a
source than the New Orleans RcpubH-
can, the official organ of the State adj
ADMINISTRATION, that should, from its
position, he the steadfast natural ally
of the Auditor in his praiseworthy en-
leayor to rescue the State treasury
from its present impoverished, bank
r1pt condition, Accustomed as we
have been to look upon the Republican
as the consistent advocate and do
fender Of all measures which sought
to increase the prosperity Of the pec-
pie, much we marveledkat its disaf-
lection, nor did any probable solution
OF the enigma present itself to our
mind until the little Crescent City
came to hand with the information
that the parties who own controlling
interest Of the official organ establish
ment arc holders Of a large number Of
State warrants, which the Auditor
has declined to cash. If this be true,
and certainly it possesses every APP
pearance Of truth, the presence of the
feline in the meal tub is accounted for
and the organ stands revealed in an
exceedingly unenyiable position.
Emboldencd by the conduct of the
big newspaper, Treasurer Dubuclet
refused to receive the warrants pur-
chased by Mr.. Clinton on the 18th in
slant, but peremptory order from
the Superior Court soon brought him
to his senses, and with visions of his
former cell in the parish prison loom
ing up before him, he docilely received
the protfered warrants.
With every fresh battle fought and
won in the cause of the people, Audi
tor Clinton and his supporters endear
themselves more and more to those
who have the welfare of onr State at
heart. The Auditor has both honesty
and nerve, and if hypocrisy and trea-
son overcome him they must be pow
erful indeed.

DEAR SIE-The omnibus in which
| left the City Hotel deposited me
safely at the depot Of the Jackson &
G. n. 4. r., where after a little delay
| was assigned berth in palace
sleeping car. During the delay | was
much amused at the annoyance Of an
old lady who was troubled for her
ticket to check her baggage to some
point north. She asserted that she
never saw such fooling in all her. life !;
that she could travel all over the
North with less trouble than through
New Orleans. The extra charge for
ordinary baggage transfer is not made
in northern places. Such annoyances
are noticed by many travellers, and
the city loses large number of visi-
| tors because Of them. Pleasant rec
| ollectiops of a place will induce YOU
to return or advise your friends to do
so. My own experience certainly CO.
incides with that of the old lady.
After general inspection of the
car, its construction, contents, ETC., I
lunchcd bountifully from my basket,
and disposing of 4 number of articles,

utmost to get the remainder back in

Of his many excellent qualities. The
palace sleeping car is certainly one of
the greatest improvements of the age
for the convenience Of travellers.
Without them, travelling is irksome,
