Dorregarray and Concha.

The Louisville Courier Journal of recent
date has an article written in q very fair
spirit on the question of crueltes alleged
to have been lately perpetrated in North
ern Spain. The telegraph was industri-
ously made use of to disseminate tissue of
statements in that regard which have since
been clearly shown to be lies. Our news
papers of this city published the SANDER
but have neglected to make reparation by
acknowledging the truth. The Courier
journal is more just as well as more en-
terprising.
The mission of a newspaper is to give
the news-that is, the truth-not to fill the
role of partizan or advocate. 1t ought not
to suppress, hide and palliate on one side,
and exaggerate, falsify and Islander on the
other. When newspapers have been mis-
led by lying kilograms, as they habitually
are when the wires are under the control
of Intidels, they ought to hasten to rectify
the error when it comes to light. This ia
what the Courier Journal has done.
1t appears that Concha did publish
high sounding proclamation of magnanim-
lty when on the poin: of making his grand
assault on the lines protecting Estella, but

Attempted Assassination of Bismarck.

! The letter of the Kissingen correspondent
of the New York World, which we publish
elsewhere, possesses great interest to our
readers as the testimony of an impartial
observer. 1t will be seen that there is
every ground for the belief that Kullman,
the crazy youth of twenty-one who at
tempted the murder, was no Catholic. His
parents were Professionals, he was raised 10
an intensely Protestant community, and,
from the account he gives of himself, he was
M entant terrible. Besides this, the asser-
ton, SO often reiterated by the secular
press, that he is Catholic, rests entirely
upon his own unsupported testimony. He
also stated that he was a member of a Ger
tain Catholic Association in Madgebourg,
which Association, upon investigation,
turns out to be q myth. self-con-
victed murderer and falsitier, his word
would go for little, even with our-Protest-
ant friends, were it not that they imagine
thus to put stigma upon the prosecuted
Catholics of Germany.
In this connection, the London Register
recalls the incidents of the first So called
conspiracy against Bismarcks life. It
says:
We do not assert that Prince Bismarck or his
agents arranged the event which occurred on
Monday neac Kiseengen, and out of which he
has hastened to make so much capital but it
IS our duty to point out that Prince Bismarck
or his agents once before invented conspiracy
against the life of the German Chancellor, and
that all the circumstances connected with the
event OF Monday are perfect reconcilable with
the hypothesis that this seeming attempt to
shoot Prince Bismarck was what the police
detectives call 6 put up job" There is no
doubt about the first invention. Two years
ago, when the persecution of the Church in
Germany was just beginning, Prince Bismarck

of his secret police, 81 should not wonder if
some of these priests were plotting against nv |

spiracy, should be gratifed." On some such |
mint as this, a search was made in the house of |
Monsignor kosman; it was announced that |
some documents disclosing a conspiracy were
found ; and the next day young man. who
was said 10 be an ex-Pontifcal Zouave, was
arrested on charge of intending to kill the
Chancellor. A great noise was made about the
arrest, AID the news that formidable plot, in
which many of the clergy were implicated, was
trumpeted everywhere. But no more was ever
heard of the affair until some months after.

insisted upon an investigation and an explaua-

EXCURSION TO CHATAwA, MIss.-In another
column will be found the advertisement of an
excursion by rail to Chatawa, to take place on
Saturday the 22d inst. The trip will be a de-
lightful one, and the net proceeds arising from
Ii will 60 to the benefit of the Redemptorist
house at the point visited. The train bearing
the voyagers will leave the jackson Depot Mt
10 o'clock in the evening and arrive at Chatawa
next morning Sunday in time for early Mass.
Plenty of time will be found, before starting
back, to stroll through the beautiful grounds
Of the neighborhood, visit the clear, cold
springs that abound among the hills of the
Tangipahoa river, and inspect the extensive
and varied improvements erected by the Re-
demPtorist Fathers. After q day cheerfully
and delightfully."- spent, the eIcursionists will
start back in time to reach the city the same
evening at seasonable hour.
Amid the dead level of our heated term, such
. trip will come as a most agreeable and pro-
htabie variety. Not only will pleasure be
consulted but health also for u little change
like that acts very advanGeously upon system
exhausted by the monotony of long coptip-
ned heat. That every precaution for safety
and comfort which prudence can saggest will
be taken, is ensured by the character of the
gentlemen whose names will be found among
the managers.
That the excursionists will not be strangers
when they get to Chatawa is evident when we
say that they will be received, not only by
Rev. Bernard Klaphake, rector of the house in
place of Father Auwander, transferred to the |
North, but by Rev. Father Giesen, whose
familiar countenance would make even a desert |
look like homo to allof orr readers.

Concert for the Benefit of the New Orleans Cath
Ollie Total Abstinence Association.

While reminding our readers that this en-
| tertainnent will come off next Sunday eve
ming, the 10th inst, in Grupewald Hail. we
think it opportune to write few words on
concerts in general.
They are usually gotten up as inducements
to the public to aid commendable undertake pps.
Hence their end is simply to please, while
ahordinS an opportunity to effect good. Natu-
rally the sole question for the management is
what order of music will be conducive of
most pleasure! All music is made up of har
mony and melody-ope the other domin a.
ting. The former seeks its appreciation in the
intellect; the latter, in the soul. Harmony
eXcltes wondermept that a mind can score SO
many seemingly discordant sounds and pro-
duce perfect unison. Melody goes down into
the heart, penetrating. every recess where
deepest emotions hidden, and by its
sweetness, brilliancy and correctness, elevating
sonl and thought above all that is mean and
ignoble, carrying them beyond the earth,
through the immensely of space, up to the
very throne of Heaven. There is nothing
suited in this for its truth can be borne out by
those who have heard grand bursts of har-
mony, or exqusitely tender passages of melody.
Now the duty of those managing o concert
seems plain. If they select pieces whose
characteristics are the nicties of harmonic
sounds, their audience must be highly educated
IN the science of music to derive any pleasure
from such selections. And how few ia that
number If they ask the patronage of the
indiscriminate public, some of those beautiful
and touching ballads will make programme
of the required standard. The proper appre-
citation will be there and the qufd pro quo given.
We are pleased to state that the concert
which we now advise our readers to attend
has been judiciously gotten up in this regard,
and all who will be present shall leave satisfied
with themselves and the entertainments.

ST. MICHAEL's New ScHooLHoUsE.-We I'M
derstand that it is Father Heslin's intention to
have the work of erecting the new school
house, 80 greatly needed in his parish, COM
menced tomorrow. The schoolhouse will be
two story brick building, ninety four feet in
length by thirty-five in width, the lower floor
to be divided into school rooms, while the
upper story will form hall for meetinps.en
tertainments, etc. During the past few weeks
Father Heslin has been visiting his parishion-
ers with view to forming them into building
SOCIETY, each member agreeing to give a speci
ned sun, monthly, as his contribution for the
school. So far, the Rev. Father has succeeded
we'll, and 1t is to be hoped that those persons
whom he has not yet seen will be as liberal as
those who have already subscribed, for the
undertaking is great one and will require
the united efforts of all the parishioners. The
parish will soon be divided off into districts
and collector will be appointed for each sec
tIon. This plan appears to US an excellent one
and we hope it will prove successful and thus
perhaps, lead to the adjustment of some of
shese other modes of raising money which
actually take money from our Catholic ponu-
lation and the objects we desire to helm and.

Manure for Wheat.

The Delaware State Journal says
''Wherever organic matter abounds in
the soil free use Of bones and potash
will speedily restore it to its original
fertility. In sandy soils organic matter
in the form Of peat, muck, or leaf msld
should be combined with the bones and
potash. The finer the bones are ground
the more speedy their action. If the
bones are ground in raw state, that is
without steaming or burning, and
ground very fine and mixed with three
times their weight of fine muck or peat
or leaf mold, and kept moist for three
weeks before being used, they will gen.
crate all the ammonia necessary to the
rapid growth Of wheat or other grow

Harvesting Corn.

The Boston Cultivator says: Elk.
perience, much observation, with read
ing and much conversation with farm
ers and millers on the subject, upon the
best way or method of harvesting In
dian corn, have altogether led us to
conclude, that the heaviest, hailest and
soundest corn is produced by letting it
remain and ripen on the hill with uncut
stalks, provided the season be long
enough to fully ripen it. The next best
method is to cut the stalks below tho
first joint above the car, cure the stalks
in capped stocks, and let the corn ripen
on the hill. Said a miller, who ground
much corn in the valley of the Connec-
ticnt river, 81 can tell as soon as turn
a bag of corn into the hopper whether
it was cut up too dry, or whether it
ripened on the hill, both by the looks,
and by the handling of it, as the corn
is decidedly better when it ripens on
the hill This has always seemed to
US sensible and ergo, reasonable.

past summer sprang from the ground
the previous season, and the canes that
will produce the crop next season
sprang from the ground during the

Of the raspberry may be propogated by
planting the seed, by planting pieces Of

canes in mellow soil, when they will
take root and thus form a complete
