We are, as q people, slowly learning
some important truths. The one thing We
now most need to learn, and fully realize,
is that we are living at too extravsgant .
treasures Of money for naught. Our out
lays have been simply enormous, where
they should have been little or nothing.
With money at easy command, it has been
FILTERED away recklessly. Now that the
much desired article is scarce, it is well to
stop and consider.
The standard of public taste, in relation
to those things which are brought and
made use of, is too high. In all our large
cities this is plainly apparent. The cost of
living is beyond all proportion to the
wherewithal enjoyed. There are compare
of time stand such tax. There is really not
SO much wonder that men fail in business,
as that very many do not. Fashionable
families drain even substantial firms of o
great share of their profits, year by year.
Popular extravaganza is not confined to
family expenditure, alarming as it is there,
and direful as is its results. The business
man himself lives on a place too high he
conducts his business on the high-pressure
principle too much. Yachts and fast horses
are his personal follies, villas at Newport,
and suites of rooms at Saratoga. He pays
two or three per cent month for capital.
By-and-bye there's a crash. Yachts and
villas are sold; and high pressure princi-
pie has proven false one.
Enormous rates Of interest are nothing
but extravaganza. Legitimate business
will not warrant them. They breed fail
ures. The making of railroads whore
railroads are not needed, is only extrava-
gance Of speculation. Indeed, one can
scarcely name the many extravagances we
indulge in here in America, 80 numerous
are they, and 80 diversifed in character.
Every sort Of ambition, we manifest is
manifested extravagantly. ...
There must be Q change. People mnst
come down to palmer living. They must
do business on surer basis. Financial
panics are the logical result of our present
social and business modes. They will
como oftener in the future, unless a change
be brought about. Taxes are burdensome,
and must be met. Bonds are heavy, and
must be paid. Individuals may suspend,
or repudiate, but the nation can do neither.
The people make up the nation. They
must preserve the nations honor. To do
this they must retrench, and come down
to more sensible ways Fashion must NOT
hold absolute sway. Nero idle tastes
must not be pampered and fed. From
being radically foolish in many respects,
we must become conservative)y wise.
revolution in popular sentiment may not
be wrought at once, but it is sure to follow
the present condition of society, else there
is no logic, and common sense has died out
utterly.-Boston OW!tiUator.

Tho Dominican Mission at St. Miehasl's Church.

Tho Dominican Mission at st. Miehael's Church.
Last Sunday the Rev. Fathers Rooney and
Turner, DomiRicans, commenced o mission at
st. Michaels church, Rev. Thomas Heslin,
pastor. The attendance 80 far has been re-
markedly good, and the attention and avidity
with which tho congregation have listened to
the truths Of the Gospel as expounded by tho
Rev, Fathers, show that st. Miehaers people
arc far from being Indifferent to the welfare of
their souls. To their credit be it said, on New
Years eve and Now Years day, when people are
generally disposed to indulge in . joyfulness
which is not over conducive to their spiritual
good, the people of st. Niohael's fiocked to the
church, to thank God for the blessings of the
outgoing year and to secure His favors for the
one that was beginning. The deeting shadows
of profane enjoyment they despised for the
substantial benefits of Providence. And there
fore it is to be hoped that the mission will be
in every sense of the word q success-an occa-
sion for the sinner to be converted, for the
lukewnrm to become fervent, for the ordinarily
good to advance with renewed courage on the
road of virtue-for all to preserve or to recover
the friendship of God which if they possess
they need fear nothing.
Tho mission will close at O'Clock this Sum
day evening with the Pspal Benediction, to
which, our readers should remember, there is
plenary Indulgence attached. This, we under
stand, will be the last mission by these Fathers
for some time, as their constant labors for the
past four months render repose absolutely
necessary. They will therefore retire to their
convent in Louisville, immediately after this
mission.

NEW Observation-Disclosures state-and we
have received no contradiction of the state
ment, says the London 1abEet-that on the
2snd Consistory will be held, at which
several Cardinals are to be created. There is
somo discrepancy between the lists Of names,
but all accounts sgree that Mgr. Chigi-who
is to remain at Paris ~ Pro-Nnncio, for q
Cardinal cannot be Nunoio-Mgr. Falcinelli,
Nuncio ct Vienna; Mgr. Oreglia di Santo
Stefano, Eunoio at Lisbon; Mgr. Franohi,
formerly Nuncio at Madrid; and the Arch
bishop Of Psris, are to receive hats. Some
accounts add the Archbishop of Cambria
very probable appointment-and the Bishop Of
Valencia in Spain, and the other names men
toned are Mgrs. Gianelli, Paoos, and Marti-
nelli, the Archbishop of Salzburg, the Primate
of Hungary, the Patriarch of Lisbon, and F.
Tarquini, s. J. Further consistency ia given
to the report by the announcement that Bull
has been published abrogating the ordinary
ceremonial in use at the creation of Cardinals
1t is further stated that the foreign Cardinals
now to be created are selected directly by the
Holy See, and not on the recommendation of
their respective Governments.

OUR NEW TERMS.

Let it be distinctly understood that our
change of terms, which goes into effect to-day
is for tho purpose of reducing and does reduce
the cost of this paper from 81 90 to 81 60 q

ers who do not appear to understand this and
think that nothing will be gained, while the
trouble of getting tho paper will be increased.

LETTER FROM H0UMA.

HoUNA, La, December 50, 1878.
Editor Norning Star:
Tho midnight mass was this year celebrated
with unusual solemnity. The weather being
delightful, although q little GOLD. facilitated
the attendance Of many who would otherwise
have been unable to attend. The members of
tho "Houma Philharmonic Association lent
their aid-both ut the midnight and other
Christmas masses. The young gentlemen de-
serve, indeed, the praises of our community
for their successful efforts in organizing q
musical association, which, we have no doubt
will ere long vie with those of our sister towns.
The sugar made this year in our parish, falls
to about one-third of what experienced plan
ters anticipated. The canes planted this year,
for the year coming, are in an encouraging
condition. Respectfully, c.B.

The TWO Legislatures.

Onr State is in such condition of atflu-
ence that it can afford to run two legisla
lures at this time. One of them is said to
have been elected by the people, the other
by the soldiers. Tue soldiers always have
the best Of 1t when they take hand in an
election. Tho question arises, what is the
use of going through the ceremony of vo-
ting If the General Government can inter
fore and decide the election. The more
honest way would be simply to give dir
Getty to the President of the United States
the right of appointing all State officers.
1t appears, however, that the people of
this country, in large number of States,
have not yet made up their mind to accept
such a doctrine. Therefore it is advisable
to keep up appearances for q while longer.
There must be the form of an election and
show of legal proceedings in reversing
its verdict. Even this ia not found to be
quite enough to overcome Northern dis
satisfaction and a compromise is desirable
in the Louisiana case. That is, the Ad-
ministration is afraid of meeting the
plain issue just yet.
1t lis proposed that the protest filed by
the people of Louisiana shall be Withdrawn
and che contest terminated by seating 3
certain number Of their legislators in the
negro Legislature. Tho issue would thus
be postponed for . while.
The question then 10 whether tho peo-
ple's government ought to mako this con-
cession. It would be very agreeable to our
enemies for it would relieve them of very
k~h0 10 S0h ;.1<
current Of popular dspleasure now setting
so strong against the despotism which rales
at Washington. But would it be right in
the people of Louisiana to compromise their
rights in the very heat of o contest when
the sympathies of freemen everywhere are
rallying to their assistance
1t is said by many that it would be we'll
to compromise and save something rather
than lose all. This would be true enough
if that alternative were assuredly presented.
If it be quite sure that we must lose in an
appeal to the people of the country, . COM
promise would be in order. But while
there il good ground for hope, it would be
an unworthy and pusillanimous weakness
to yield. Then again, @ compromise would
be childish unless the benefit to accrue
from It were certain. An idle hope that
something good may come Of it is not
q good consideration for the abandonment
of honest rights. The mere pocketing of
their pay by members will not be object
enough to justify such a humiliating pro-
ceeding.
Let us hope that those who have been
chosen to represent the people will keep
that end solely in view and not use their
trust as an instrument for private
profit. No prosperity can attend repre-
sentative government unless honest len be
selected to Office, who will actually repre-
sent the people and not some individual
interest.

"Archbishop Whately," says tho Sdtur-

ono characteristic distinction between men
and women. When men, no said, were
spoken of dispRragingly as a whole, they
were apt TO coincide but, when any parti-
cular man was attacked, they usually
stood up for him, aud did their best to
fellow, after all. On the other hand-this
was Whately's theory, and wo accept no
responsibility for it-women were extreme-
