Charity Without Money.

ITO the Editor of the MORNING STAR:
Last Tuesday, was struck by the spontan-
!eous piety evinced by the large numbers of the
faithful who, that morning, approached the
Eucharistic Table in commemoration of the
Nativity of the Blessed Virgin.
This was q most touching exhibition of gra-
ltitude to Almighty God fos His mercy and the
honor conferred by Him on the human race,
Through the agency Of this human, Immaculate
Virgin.
Another anniversary being near at hand, it,
occurred to me it might be made the occasion
of an universal act of Catholic charity in which
all may participate-old and young, black and
white, rich and POORLY offering a general
iCommmunion for the benefit of our dear, suffer
ing Father, Plus TX, on next Sunday, the Goth
of September, that being the date on which,
four years ago, his long captivity began.
Yours truly. SYMPATHY.
THE ENTERTAINMENT THIS EVENING IN ST.
sTHEREsA's HAIL.-There is Total Abstinence
Association in this city composed entirely OF
young men between the ages of seventeen and
thirty years. It is not so numerous as it
should be, for it is very difficult to get the
average young man to deny himself what rs
usually considered the pleasure of glass;
Abstinence of any kind is repelliug to MS
abuoyant spirits. Necessarily, the funds OF this
Association are not very large-there being, az
yet, only some forty members to contribute
thereto.
As an inducement for persons to assist them1
the members of the Young Mems Total Absti-
hence Association propose giving an entertain
ment this Sunday evening, at IT O'Clock, in 81
Theresa's Hall. They have made splendid
programme, consisting of music, farces, olio7
and the beautiful historical drama Of "Si7
Thomas More" in five acts.
We ask our readers to extend their patron
age to these young men, promising in return 1
most enjoyable evening. The admission is fft1
cents.

BzS"Sudden wealth upSets men as
frequently as it makes them. Very
few know how to use money unless
they have earned it by painful appli-
cation to business, The man who
drew the big Crosby Opera House, in
Chicago, some years ago, died a poor
man, for he had not been used to hand
ling such sums Of money and lost it.
The Journey man-carpenter, in Peoria,
ILL.,, who, three years ago, fell heir to
$3.50, 900, by the death OF an uncle, has
his money yet; for he was so conscious
of his inability to use it as other men
do, and so afraid of losing it, that he
simply boards it, taking from the prin~
cipal enough each week to pay his ex-
penses. He thinks it will support
him as long as he lives, as it doubtless
will but a more miserable man never
lived. Johnny Steele, the Petroleum
Prince, ran through his millions in
riotus living, inside of three years. The
number who have died suddenly ac-
qaired wealth wisely, is very small.
l.. II. Keith, of Kingston Mass, is
an exception, He held a ticket in
the third Gift Concert Of the Kentucky
Public Library, and that ticket drew
the capital prize 100000. Mr.. Keith,
a cool, self-poised man of business,
simply went to Louisville, took his
money at the hands of Gov. Bramlette,
the manager, and returned home with
it, and without any particular fuss, in
vested it in his business, and is rap
idly converting that 100000 into
100000. Should he draw the grand
prize Of $25O,O0O in the fifth (and
last) of these popular concerts, that
takes place in Louisville, July 3lst, he
would be precisely the man he now is,
Such men are never unduly elated or
unduly depressed. They are self-pois-
ed, and keep always on an even keel.
Every man believes he can use money
wisely, but few do it. We should like
to be tried with a million or two.
Would that we held the ticket that is
to draw that $250,O00! We would
try to hold the money.-Ioledo Blade.

The demand for currency to cstab-
lish new banks under the recent act Of
Congress is not a'armirSly large.
The new act provides for the with
drawal of currency from those States
having more than their share and Civ
ing, as deamnd calls for it, to those
States that do not have their full share
of it. There is not much prospect
that this demand will be increased
materially for some time to come.
These facts show that the great cry
for more currency was only the
alarm of statesmen who are more dis
posed to shape their course upon what
they think aniH be popular with the
people than upon what is best for the
people, irrespective Of their wishes.

TIE EFFECT OF THE GRANGER
RAILRoADLAw. The New York Bull
ctin notes the fact that the granger
railroad laws have seriously affected
railroad credit abroad, the European
market being practically closed
against all Wisconsin, securities and
most of the Western granger States.
1t says:
The simple fact which the grangers
have to contemplate is this. If they
desire to have roads to carry their
products to markets, the Indispensable
condition to their being supplied is
that the owners shall be allowed to
say on what terms they will do car
riage, subject of course to the laws re-
latlng to comlAon carriers. If they
will insist upon commissioners coming
between the road and the public to
determine freight and passenger rates,
then they must be satisfied with what
roads they have, for the new ones
cannot be built upon such conditions;
and, indeed, they must lose what they
have, for the existing companies would
be driven into suspension under the
Potter law.

REVIVAL OF THE IRON TRApE.-The
indications of a revival in the domestic
IRON trade continue to multiply The
Philadelphia Ledger says:
We learn that the Cambria Iron
Company, Johnstown, Pa, have within
the past week started their rolling
mill on "double turn, and the Bess-
emer steel works Of the company,
which have been running irregularly
for some time past, would now be run
ming on full time were it not for the
scarcity of water. This is indeed en-
couraging. The revival could not
begin in any one pursuit of all our
various industries that would give ev-
idence Of being more general and
lasting than that of iron.

From present facts and figures
it does not appear probable that the
market will take any increased pro-
duction of coal, either Anthracite or
Bituminous, as was expected by some
knowing ones in the trade. In ssch a
state of trade as prevails at present,
the larger companies are doing the
major portion of the trade, owing to
their early contracts, even this does
not prevent their being stalled. -
