The Catholic of Phi 'adel phia have struck
the first blow for the Centennial, the total
abstinence societies holding an immense
meeting, on Wednesday, when some rath-
er remark able utterances were made
Father Thomas F. Hopkins, pastor Of the
Church of the Sacred Heart, the orator of
the day, was especially enthusiastic IN his
ve1eration of Washington, and the early
heroes and genius of American institutions.
The total abstinence societies propose to
erect n fountain in Paramount Park, with
a central statue OF Moses shifting a gush-
ing rocK, and four other sta tues of Catholic
American patriots. These viii probably
be 'Charles Carroll, Of Carrollton,' who
so signed his name to the Declaration Of
Independence lest some other Charles
Carroll might be hanged in his stead;
chbishop Carroll, his cousin, the first
Catholic prelate in this country, and the
fellow Ambassador of Franklin to Canada
at the beginning of the way Commodore
John Barry, and General Montgomery, who
fell at Quebec .-Er.

A Family Album

There IS sort of delirious JOY in look
ing over family album, especially If it is
a very old album, with q sprained back,
which occasionally and unexpectedly drops
through your fingers, leaving o couple 0!
cousirs in one hand, and three arnts in the
other, end the balance Of the family under
the chair. The first picture j. that of an
old gentlemen, with an expression of wary
cautiousness in his face, as if he was engag
ed in lodging a wild bull, an was doubtful
of the result. Opposite him is the grand
mother, patient looking lady in black
dress, With book in one hand and pair
of srectacles in the other. There is fee
lie but well meaning effort TO look safe in
her face. On the next leaf is a middleaced
man, looking as if he had been suddenly
shot through the roof OF q starch factory,
and .ad landed in the middle of a strange
country. Opposite is the picture of his
wife, who, having heard runor of the |
has made up her mind to be |
for the worst. Then follow the |
girls Looking so prim as to |
make you squirm, and little boys with their
eyes turned on their noses, and with an ex-
preston on their faces of uuerathy solemn
'ty. Then follow uncles, taken in their
oyerceats, with spreading inclination in
their clothes; hair and face, as if they
were bound to get their moneys worth;
md aunts With warts on their faces, and
7arnish III their hair, and preposterous lace
collars about their neck. Then there is the
)ashfu! Young man renned opposite an ag-
,ressive young lady, whom heaven and
ome married woman have designed for
ach ether. There are also pictures of
aleck and his young wife who stopped here
When on their tour, and no youngsm
ooks at him without retiring at once and
clustering terrible vow never to ge. mar
led. Besides these is the picture of the
nan whe lived next door for eight wears
It the end of which time his wife died, and
Re moved to Illinois with his children, and ;
S now worth $50 900. He has been pho
ographed in his hat, which is one size too
urge for him, and which gives him IN ap-
'eararce of having murdered his aunt and
oncealed the body. Then there are two
r three fine looking corsaires of no partcu-
ar identity, and several broken-s spirited t
women With babies in .heir arms-directly !
elated to the owners of the album-and
he exhibition closes.-DanJmy News.

Nor was it a thorn that could rend;

Where the smile in it. dimplement was

Vanity.

There never was man or woman yet,
however hCmelv or dcformed who did not
congratulate himself or herself that he or
she looked better than any other body.
Whether it is the blessed force of hab t, re-
cone ling US to all things and making ugh.
ness beautiful through familiarity, or wheth-
or it is the self-loye which each human
heart cherishes, certain it is that most
mirrors rchec! compliment faces. And
this is fortunate 4 certain degree OF
vanity, If se!f-love deserves that title, is
very desirable. 1t is undignifed to
condemn and underrate our own good
qualities, as tl.bse of another person. With
out some love Of our own personality, We
could not preserve proper sef-respect.
That this is so often carried 10 IN excess OF
ridiculous egotism Is because human nature
, is weak. Vanity is generally dealt with
by those orac!es, the newspapers, and by
the word generally, as an eminently femi
ninie quality. But haven't we seen some
coarse, ugly, frIghtful, desperately home!y
men, smiling in the glass, and making
pre.ence Of arranging their neck ties, just
for a chance Of enjoying their own irreslst
able destinations?

Mr.. LANES Z Fields

1t is by no means an easy task for lee
ture management to present to critical
and intelligent community, year after year,
intellectual entertainment of a uniformity
high standard, embodying the most rigorous
thought and the most advanced progress in
The literary and scientific world. We could
not help thinking of this as we listened on
Friday night last to the delightful lecture
of Mr.. James T. Fields, on Charles Lamb
and his friends" The lecturer had never
before appeared before Washington audi
ence, and he had come without any flourish
Of trumpets, many people even not being
award that James T. Fields, the editor Of
high repute and publisher of great success,
was also the James T. Fields of the lee
tire platform. But here we found the
graceful and genial gentleman discoursing
Familiarity on English literature and authors,
with great charm of manner, exquisite
English, and undoubted excellence of mat
ter. A classical and highly cultivated
audience listened with rapt attention and
a burst of prolonged applause at the close,
with expressions ct is all too short &C.,
attested their warm appreciation. Wecon-
| graduate Mr.. Fields upon his courageous
thrusts at the literature and the written
English of the present day. The colleges
| came in for their share, and ifhe shall have
occasion to 60 further, he need not spare
the newspapers or the serials, for they en-
courage a vast deal of decentralization in
style and in matter. 1t gave healthy,
vigorous glow to his discourse, and his
hearers were responsive in smiles and sub.
dued applause. There has not been a
richer or more charming literary discourse
delivered in this city within our
recollection. The tense English of
Wendell Phillips OF the graceful descrip-
ton Of George William Curtis are not more
agreeable than the quiet, unpretentious,
yet charming talk Of Mr.. Fields, as he
leads his hearers into the inner life of his
subjects. These lectures are the feature Of
our lecture season without doubt, and we
beg to suggest to our cultivated people,
and those who affect to consider themselves
such, that if they fail to hear them they
render themselves liable, in the season of
social small talk soon to come, of being
abashed by the inquiry of some sprightly
person, Did you hear Mr. Fields?p to
which it will not do to give negative
answer and sin expect to be considered
en- rapport with the freshest themes Of
literature
The effect Of Mr.. Fields lectures must
be beneficial TO every community that
listens to them. They must not only

From ALL OVER the country there comes up
the same story of Republican defeats and DEM
oeratic successes. In most Instances the de-
feats that Republicans have suffered have been
in districts that were naturally Republican,
but there are always exceptions to every state
nent as to all rules. The First district of Viz
ginia in the last Congressional fight was ear
nestly and faithfully contested. Mr.. sener,
the sitting member, notwithstanding the heavy
odds against him, made gallant fight to hold
the district, but failed; yet his failure was
really svictory, and his friends so feel and
hold. In 1869 Governor Walker carried the
counties composing the First district by 9,134
majority over Wells. In 1872 Mr.. Sener car
ried the same district by $40 majority. In 1873
General Kemper carried the district over
Judge Hughes by 2,760, and in 1874, on full
poll, Mr.. seneri is defeated by less than $50
votes, with eight newspapers against him and
not less than thirty speakers, in addition to
his competitor, Major Douglas, whom the Con-
sentative press of that State speak of as their
ablest debater. In this district the candidates
met in joint discussion until the serious IN
juries inflicted by the mob upon Mr.. Sener at
King William. It is a notable fact in the cam
paign Just closed that Mr.. sener gained heavily
in his home county, and also in that of Mr..
Douglas. his competitor. We deem it but
simple justice to give these facts and figures in
behalf of one who fought good fight against
heavy odds, and who so closely grazed success
that even his political opponents confess that
he deserved better fate. Though defeated,
Mr.. Sener has established reputation for
active, earnest devotion to the material inter
ests Of the district the prosperity of its people
and the general welfare of the State.
THAT was heightened editorial in one OF
our Sunday contemporaries yesterday.

RAILRAYKLYGs IN COUNCIL

The great railway kings of the couu-
try, Wander bilt, Scott, Jewett, Chaplin,
Garrett and their premiers and Iieutenants,
have just had conference in Baltimore.
The design Of the meeting seems to have
been to entrap OF seduce President Garrett,
Of the Baltimore and Ohio road, into some
monopoIzing compact. They were not
only unsuccessful in this object, but they
received FROM that sagacious and most sue
cessfUl railway manager few grains of
practical advice regarding credit mobilier
rings on a small scale, inside and outside of
the companies, by which they receive the
lions share oftheir legitimate profits, which
might be followed to great advantage by
nearly all our great trunk lines 1t is to
be regretted that Mr.. CARROTS advice was
not accepted and acted upon; but while its
genuine importance was freely acknowl-
edged, the managers of Northern lines were
obliged TO confess that they were bound
by contracts with "fast freight lines" ex-
tending so far into the future as to make it
impossible to abrogate them at present.
The truth is, that, with some rare excep-
tons all the railways which have been
constructed in the United States within the
last twenty-five years have been made to
cost the stockholders twice their actual
value by the Intervention of what have
lately come to be known as Contracting
rings" or firms. The Erie was the first
victim Of This method of procedure. Its
line was first surveyed, and its cost for
single track, with necessary sidings, was
estimated at about twelve million dollars.
The State subscribed, or rather loaned it,
three millions, which was afterward do
mated TO the Company, and the merchants
Of New York subscribed nine millions to

lays it all to the newspapers. Referring
TO the sO-called gag law, " which is of

ported to have spoken as follows: "The
''New York papers took it up as something
intended especially TO punish libel and
earnest editors in New York or elsewhere,
''and bring them to Washington for trial.
''This was all mistake. Under the laws
''as they stood before the passage of this
'fact q man might commit murder in the
'fDistrict Of Columbia, and if he escaped
'fnto Maryland or Virginia he could not
''be arrested. The so-caIled gag law
''meTely provided that for any offence pun
ffshable by the laws made by Congress for
'the District of Columbia, and committed
sin the District, a man could be arrested
elsewhere and brought back for trial As
