Holy Trinity Church.

Our readers will recall that for some time
past some of the Bishops in Europe have
been endeavoring to do away with the music
now SO generally sung in our churches.
1t il claimed that such music, instead OF in
tensifying the devotion Of the faithful, only
serves to distract their attention. 1t is also

order-that far from having as an object the
greater glory of God, it 10 chosen merely as q

performed during the time of Mass, that is, it
must be of a grave and reflective character.
In accordance with the above, the pastor of
Holy Trinity Church has organized "St.
Ceeilia's Society,"" whose purpose is to sing
those unexceptionable masses written by Pal
estrina and others of his school
Next Sunday, being the Feast of st. Cecilia,
the gentlemen of this society intend celebrat-
ing it in q manner worthy the Patroness of
Music. During the Solemn High Mass, which
will begin at 10 o'clock, the choir will sing

Origin of the German Prosecutions.

curious statement is telegraphed by th
Berlin correspondent of the London Daily TA
graph in the shape of Note, which he said
some of the German papers would publish d
the following day. 1t is more important thu
it might at first appear to be, for, if true it d
strong confirmation of the belief that 81
have always entertained, namely, that the ra
originators of the whole persecution in Ger
many were the so-called "old- Catholics" who,
in order to induce the States to bring pressur'
to bear upon the Church, set about persuadis,
German statesmen that the DEGREES of the
Vatican Council were q real danger to ths
civil power. After noticing the discrepancy
between the dispatch of Count Arnim, pub
lished by Prince Bismarck and his "Pn|
memoria" which appeared in the Presae-the
first g. treating the dogma of Infallibility as d
mere theological dissertation" and the second
seeing IN it an event that must overthrov
Catholicism and the peace of Catholic States
this note proceeds to explain the contradie
tion thus: "when Prince Hohenlohe, 81
leader of Bavarian foreign affairs, sent BIZ
well-known circular to different powers e.
planning the dangers of that dogma. the Ger
man Chancellor applied to Count Arnim, who
answered that the Bavarian Minister exaggsr
ated the danger, being influenced by Dollinga
After this answer was sent to Berlin, Couui
Won Arnim went on his holidays, and in pass
ing Munich visited Prince Hohenlohe. Thsfs
they spoke about Irfallibility, and Prince 30

asked the Count to visit Dollinger, which
did. Dollinger convincingly explained

his return, Arnim tried everything to preV'ni
the result of the Council by repeatedly sdvt
ing Prince Bismarck to interfere; SO The

Hohenlohe, who was the very first statesua'
to urge State action against the Church, wa
acting under the influence and at the instlSF
tion of DR.. Dollinger, and that it was by TIC
representations of the latter that Count Arnn
also was subsequently induced to adopt q sin.
liar course. 1t may, there fore, well be belieVea
that the whole flood of persecution in Gef
many may be traced back to an apparen'g
Insignificant source-to the misrepresentation
made to statesmen with the view of obtaining
for small dissident minority the weighty III
huence of the secular power.

Arrival of Earist Fathers From Europe

Last Saturday, 14th inst, the Very Rev. j.
Leterrier, Provincial of the Marists, accom-
panied by Rev. Fathers John Buckley, ]. ].
Grimes and j. Green, of the same Order, arrived
in this city from Europe. After taking a few
hours of much needed rest, the Rev. Fathers
proceeded to St. Mary-Jefferson College, st.
James parish, where they were received with
great enthusiasm. As the boat approached the
landing a salute was fred, and the College
band, in strains of excellent music, welcomed
them to their future home. Upon reaching the
College. building they were escorted to the Ex-
hibition Hall where several addresses, express
SiVe of the joy of pupils and professors at their
safe arrival, were delivered. In the evening
there was grand display of fire works
With the arrival of the Very Rev. Provincial
and this reinforcement of professors, 8 bright
future opens for st. Mary Jefferson College.
A year ago death gathered q rich and rare
there were serious doubts as to whether the
Order would retain control of it, especially as
the demand for members OF the Society in
Europe was very great. Tho arrival of these
FATHERS, who ranked with the ablest professors
10 Dundalk and Dublin, and who came DESPITE
the earnest opportunities of the Cardinal
Archbishop of Dublin, is evidence of the de-
cision of the Superior General not only In
keep the College, but also to make it one of
the beat in the country.
We are pleased to learn that already the
number Of pupils is greater than that of Last
year, and that the health of all is excellent.

The Collection for St. Johns Church.

This work of love goes bravely on. Many
hands make it light work, and willingness
makes the duty pleasure. Each individual
in the numbers appealed to cheerfully takes
up his quantum of the load which bore SO
heavily on the shoulders of a few.
Father Kenny will make the tour of St.
Michael's parish at an early day, as the wish
is generally expressed there that he present
himself in person for the receipt of donations
For like reason, and on like errand, Father
Foote, now of st. Johns, will soon reappear
among his numerous friends of st. Patrick's.
After the canvass of st. Michaeps, Fathers
Kenny and Kennedy may both together, or
either siugly, call upon their own parishioners
at their homes, instead of having the projected
collection taken up at the church door.
Creditors may have to wait while longer
on account of the pursuance of this course, as
it cannot but retard the receipt of expected
sums; but if it retards the receipt it will
surely augment the amount of the same in a
more than commensurate degree.

NIGHT AND SUNDAY SCHOOL FOR BOYS AND
GIRL.-It will be seen by notice in our ad-
veTtising columns that those Jealous iustruc-
tors OF youth, the Sisters of Mercy, have,
at their Convent on st. Andrew street, Fourth
District, in addition 70 their night, Sunday
and industrial schools for girls, opened a night
and Sunday school for boys.
From the great and deserved reputation of
the Sisters as educators, we have no doubt
that the rare opportunity which is now offered
will be readily embraced alike by both parents
and pupils.
1t will be also seen by the Sisters notice
elsewhere that the hours of the industrial
school for girls a, this Convent are now from
a. 20 P. N. This school is in most sue
eessful operation. We are not surprised to
learn this 20 coon after the inauguration of the
enterprise, when We consider the great skill
and proficiency in the different arts and trades
taught by the Sisters. We have seen some of
the specimens in plain and ornamental needle
work, flower making, ETC., executed at this
Convent, ana We may truly say that the largest
and most fashionable of our establishments
could not excel them. Banners and fags of
every description for societies, churches and
schools will be made to order and be equal in
design, workmanship and materials to any
that could be obtained North or elsewhere in
this city.

FATHER RYAS's LECTURE on TIE WHITE
LEAGUE.-Last Thursday evening one of the
largest and most select audiences we have ever
seen, was assembled in Exposition Hall to hear
Father Ryau's lecture on the White League.
The Rev. lecturer was introduced by Gen.
Ogden, and was received with great enthusi-
asm. In all respects, save one, everybody APP
Peared highly pleased at the lecture. Some
disappointment was felt at the brevity of the
address, the Rev. Father opening at twenty
five minutes past seven and concluding at ten
minutes past eight.
At the request of many of our patrons we
will publish, in our next Sundays issue, the
BEIletiH's excellent shorthand report. revised
by the Rev. Father himself

ENTHUSIASTIC EEcEFrros BY HIS pAE1suloxE

LSiAS ~ d has FA-lSA4
Last Tuesday Rev. Corn-lic. Moy nihan, pas
tor OF ST. Peters church, returned to bis home
after an absence OF six months. He left here
last May to join the American pilgrims to
Lourdes and Rome. a. the ecclesiastical repre-
sentative of the Archdiocese.
he was expected by way of Mobile, and ar
| raDgements had been made by the leading
members of his congregation to meet him a
| the depot. Knowing, however, that should be
pass through Mobile he would be compelled by
Bisbop Pellicer and his many other friends to
remain there few days, and anxious to reach
the city q. the earliest possible moment, be
made flank movement and came in by way of
the Jackson Railroad at IL o'clock Tuesday
morning.
The intelligence of his arrival soon spread,
and by half past eight o'clock that evening
about one hundred of the leading laymen OF
the parish were assembled in the old church.
Having fallen into line they proceeded to the
Rev. Fathers residence, where he was sere-
naded by the Third District Amateur, Brass
Band, which had kindly rendered it's services
for the occasion. The Rev. Father, com pletely
taken by surprise but greatly rejoiced at this
evidence of the love of his people, 5000 made
his appearance and, after greeting each one
personally, invited ali into his spacious parlors
In behalf of the people Of the parish, DR.. j. j..
Meylor, in an exceedingly neat address, then
welcomed Father Moynihan back to his home,
and into the midst of his spiritual children,
among whom he had labored 50 long and so
faithfully.
In reply Father Moynihan thanked the gen.
tlemen present and those whom they repre-
sented for this expression of their esteem and
love for him. He graphically described his
visit 70 Lourdes and to the Vatican, where he
had had the honor of seeing our Holy Father,
aud then briefly but most clog GENTLY, gave ex-
preston 20 his feelings upon once more visit
ing the land of his birth, the Ever Green Isle.
In concluding, be feeIipgly alluded to the alb
sepce of one who bad ever been dear friend
of bis and of all present, the late Edward
Sweeney, of whose death be had heard while 10
ireland.
During the delivery Of the addresses a con-
mittee was actively engaged in preparing some
choice wines and estables to which justice waS
done immediately afterwards. With q few ex-
celIsnt songs, appropriate tO&sts and occasional
piece from the band, the evening Wa WhiIed
away in . most enjoyable manner.
Father NoyDihau returns in excellent health
andspirits. As proof Of the superior besltbful-
ness of the air in the " dear Old Land, :" he can
point with pleasure, ss be said in his address,
to the fine coat Of fat that he bnougbt away
with him.

The Catholic Militant Union.

We understand that the Provincial Coun-
Gil of the Union, the meetings of which have
been suspended during the recent summer,
will Immediately resume its sessions, and
with the hope of inaugurating a season of
activity heretofore almost unknown in the
history of the onion. Certain sections
especially in the country parishes, have
set noble example of what can and ought
to be done by the organization, and we
hope that the Council will be able to in
fuse the same epirit into the whole society.
While most of the city sections were
doing nothing, one country section-shat' OF
Plaquemines,-hAs been busy in build
ing q parochia! schoolhouse. This is q
visible, tangible work 1t makes the Union
a co-operator with the clergy and places
upon the shoulders of its members a part
of the burden which is generally forced
upon the parish pries. alone. 1t would be
well enough to make him take all the
trouble, if the whole zeal of the Church were
eentered in the clergy, but the general idea
of Christianity is that something of zeal is
expected in every one of the faithful.
In the city, as in the country, there are
many things in which the Union can make
itself the pastors right hand.-It canal
ways have committees at his disposal for
attending to secular business. There is
necessarily good deal of such busisess in
connection with the administration of
q parish, and the habit of assisting the
priest in attending to it, will aid in iden-
tfying the assistants more thoroughly with
the Church. If We want discipline and
method in the defence of the Church by
her members, if We want a body of men on
whose fidelity she can rely in the social
and political issues that this age is so busy
IL thrusting upon her, it will not do to
rely upon volunteers. We must have men
who are accustomed to work, as we'll as
talk, for her,-men trained in the pIacti
cal sacrifice of time and personal ease for
her interests.
1t is only in this way that the Union can
really commend itself to the active sym
patty of the paroch!al clergy. TIE idea
of such active, practical cooperation on
the part of it's members must, in our opin-
ion, form the basis of its constitution
Other objects, such as the instruction of
members on the wrongs of the Church,
their Illumination upon questions of co
importances, and their united
action in matters of a wider range than
mere parochial interests-all that can
come afterwards, and will do SO with in
fnitely more ease and certainty Of success,
than if made the primary object

THE CATHOLIC Press IN GERMAEY.-One
of the leading effects of the persecution of
the Catholic Church, initiated by Bismarck
and his merry men, has thus far been to in
crease the circulation of the Catholic per
iOdicals, and generally to raise the Catholic
press to degree of prosperity undreamt
of in the philosophy of the National
Liberals" Special stress was laid upon
this fact at the meeting of the Union of
Silesian Catholics, recently held at Breslau,
and the following resolutions relative 70
the subject were carried Res. con- -
First. The Uoion of Silesian Catholics
expresses the hope that no Catholic will
benceforth countenance insults against his
religion by subscribing to anti: Catholic
periodicals., and it requests all Catholics to
give their support to the Catholic press,
especially that of Silesia, by subscribing
and advertising, as we'll as by forwarding
contributions and letters to it.
Secondly. A letter to be addressed to all
Influential Catholics Of the province, co,
pecially to the clergy, soliciting the exer-
ton of all their influence In favor of the
circulation Of Catholic periodicals., more
particularly Of those publiShed in the pro-

reduced to 22,733. The incomes of the landed
proprietors have increased immensely.
