A Great Difereaoe.-In looking over the
statistics of the Asylum we find that the
average mum Der Of little girls under the care
ofthe Sisters of Nazareth is about one hundred
nmd sixty, and that the average expense for
each one of them 10 forty Ave dollars per
annum. This is very low figure, and 1t
sugRests the question, how can they be
kept comfortably by this trifiing amount :
10 seven thousand dollars, goes very far in
aeadeping the sympathy of the Catholic
community for the fatherless. 1t is felt
that 1t 10 q dead weight, drag upon their
shouiders, and whenever the faith Is not
lively enough to inculcate the precept Of
charity, the demand elicits murmur. 1t
10 to repgess this propensity that We allude
to the House of Refuge, where the officers
salaries exceed the expenses of the st:
Vincent Asylum. We have no fault>to find
find with the expenses Of the House ofESe-
fuge: We kno " that the m managers have famit->
les to support and that they cannot throw
them upon the charity of the world, and
very likely the sum of 81 ,l67 IL, which was
paid to them in 1869, was small enough
but we establish the comparison to prove
the economy of the Sisters in carrying on
the institution, for which noble work they
expect no other reward than q crown in
heaven. They toll for tho support OF the
fatherless, aud provide for them at one
third of the expenses Of a public institution,
that of the House of Refuge, in 1869, for
40 boys being $23,O7G7l, and that of St.
Vincent Asy lam, for the year 1871, for
about i60 girle, $7,077 IS. We have est
tablished this comparison only to show
that the Sisters conduct the establishment
with strict economy.-Lonisriile Adro-

Fifteen Hundred Con frmaEons on one day
in Small Town-Ths progress of the
hurch in the~<UDited States excites the
wonder and admiration of the world. When
Charles Carroll signed the Declaration of
the Independence, there was not a resid-
ent Bishop in the country now at the
present day, there are seven archbishops,
fifty live bishops, and five mitred sbbots-
the progress of one century. Cathedrals,
grand and solemn, churches of great
architectural beauty, aud mission chapels,
are rising up on all sides, while the houses
of education aud charity are legion. 1t
has been said that the great cities are the
centres of Catholicity, and that in the ru
raj districts the ancient faith numbers but
few adherents. An event occurred on Sun
day, March o, which renders the truth of
the assertion rather doubtful. In the little |
city of Rondout, n. y. on the banks of the |
beautiful Hudson, l ass children were con-
dout has two churches for the accommoda- |
ton of it's Catholic inhabitants. st. Mary's
for those speaking English, of which Rev.
Michael j, O'Farreii is pastor, and st.
Peters for the Gcrmane, of which Rev.
John Raufeisen, is Pastor. The Parish of
Kingston, Of which Rev. James Dousherty
10 pastor, is so Immediately connected With |
Rondout that they are called one and |
the same city. These three were the
sources from which such crowd of young
America thronged St. Mary's on Sunday: |
st. Mays sent Gao boys aud $50 girls st. |
Peterss (German) had over one hundred |
children, and St JoSeph's kinston preseD ted |

The Catholic Union circle of New York,
during the year 1872, sent Sc, O79 to the Holy
Father. Two lectures were delivered be-
fore the members of the Union one by
Dr. 4: M: Marshall, and the other by Very
Rev. Father Burke, o. p. 1t is estimated
that about COCO members were enrolled in |
New York during the year.
