The Pilgrimage.

The Pilgrimage which in May next will
start from Now York, will probably COM
prise representatives from all parts of the
United States. This will be source of
far greater qualification to the Sovereign
Pontiff than if an equal number of Pill
grims from one particular place should
have performed the same devotion. In
the former case it would be as though the
nation had sent its delegates, in the latter
it would seem more like the individual &C
ton of private persons.
We may we'll hope that every diocese in
the whole country will send at least one
representative on this pious expedition.
Thus far we have heard of but few from
this diocese who have determined to par
ticipate, some being deferred therefrom
by the fact that the Pilgrimage occupies a
season which is one of the busiest and
most important for them as planters. For
our community the month of July would
have been more convenient than May as
the time for starting. But all cannot be
suited. 1t must be borne in mind that the
committee in Now York desire to be notif-
ed by the Goth of this month of the inten-
tions of all who expect to go.

The Little Sisters Of the Poor.

1t seems to us that no name can be more
suggestive of humility, tenderness and divine
charity, than the one that heads our article.
The 7ttle Sisters! How these words bring to
mind those quiet unobstrusve figures against
whom we sometimes jostle in our hurried race
through life. We pass them on the streets, we
meet them in the market-place, We see them
going from door to door begging for all the
necessaries of life, Where can there be greater
humility than this They are beggars in the
fullest meaning of the word. They have no
means of support. They depend upon this
worlds charity for food, clothing and shelter.
And yet what sublime beggary! 1t is not for
themselves they beg, not for themselves they
take up the CROSS of humility. Their lives
and labors are for others, and they make
themselves little, only to win the worlds
compassion for few poor, helpless, suffering
people.
Little Sisters! How endearing and winning
is, the title with which they approach the
objects of their tender solicitude. To the poor
ignorant, destitute creatures, whom Coda
Providence has thrown in their way, they are
Sisters only Sisters, to help them, guide
them, care for them. Sisters, set by Heavenly
Father in the place Of guardians towards that

St. Patrick'S Hall.

Our readers are aware that some months
ago tho site of the old Odd Fellows Hall
on Camp street, corner of Lafayette, was
purchased by an association of gentlemen
with the intention of erecting thereon a
splendid Hall for public entertainments
We are happy to say that the work Of it's
construction has at length been inaugural
ed. That 80 costly structure should be
undertaken just after the stringency of the
recent panic shows either that principle
Of recuperation exists in our tax devoured
community, or that the gentlemen conduct
ing the enterprise are exceptions to the
general rule Of decay.
The building is to occupy the whole lot,
as we hear, which is 104 feet in width on
Tho first story will be divided into tour
large stores fronting on Camp street and
running back 100 feet, with tho rear por-
ton of the ground floor, fronting on
Lafayette street, disposed as minor hall
for suppers or similar occasions.
The main Hall will occupy the whole
length of the upper story and most of its
width, forming a magnificent apartment of
about IS by 40 feet. 1t is intended to
make it a model of perfection in all the
latest improvements and conveniences
adapted to it's purposes. There will be
spacious entrances and stairways on Camp
and Lafayette streets with still another
means of access and egress on the side to-
wards Girod street, thus a1fording I'M
eQualed security in case OF fire or other
disaster. s.7
We have heard it rumored that the cor
ner stone is to be laid on st. Patrick's day
by his Grace, the Most Rev. Archbishop,
and it is confidently said that the whole
work will, in all PROBABILITY, be completed
by the LIST. Of November next. When we
add that it is under the direction and in
spiration of gentlemen like Messrs. Pat
rick Irwin and John Henderson, no further
assurance will be necessary. Some thir-
ty workmen are now employed on the
foundations and it is not probable that the

A WANToN OuTRAaE.-Last Sunday morr
it was discovered that the Hall of Branch
a, Hibernian Association, had been ente
its beautiful banner defaced and it's flag
from the STAFF and carried away. The meet
room of the Branch is in st. Johns
church, Dryades street, and the flags, banu
ETC., were in zinc-lined cabinet, formerly 4
to keep the vestments of the clergy. This
broken open and the banner, which had
CALAMITY won by the Branch in o contea
st. Johns Fair in 1871, was completely
stroyed, the silk around the figures Of
Patrick and Brian Boru being cut in o.
direction. The heavy gold fringe aroun
was torn off also, and in other respects it
30 defaced as to render impossible any ate
at repairing it. The green elk Gag, q
from the ladies of the parish, was cut fron
staff and taken away. No clue has yet
obtained as to the perpetrator of this q
cious outrage, but it is to be hoped tha
will soon be discovered and have strict iud
meted out to him. In another column wi
found resolutions adopted at the last NEE
of the Branch, expressive of its indigna
and offering q reward of 800 for such info
| ton as will lead to the discovery and cor
tion of the party or parties to this disgrad
affair.

influence than this, and we unhesitatingly
predict that under it's auspices the Fair will be
q most admirable success. The parties to the
several proposed contests are already actively
engaged In securing the cooperation of their
friends and, we understand, that much feeling
isalready evinoed on the part of the uptown and
downtown people as to the triumph of their

ST. ALoYsIUs CADRTs.-We are pleased to
learn that this Society is progressing we'll
and is rapidly increasing in numbers. There
is no doubt but that the principal good to re-
suit from temperance societies will be in pre-
venting youths from ever getting into the
habit of using intoxicating drinks rather than
from reforming old topers; hence the increase
of this, the FIRST society for boys formed in this
city, should be q source of pleasure to our
citizens. The Cadets have ordered q new ban
ner for the parade on the 18th inst and its
blessing will prove feature of the day. They
have also secured neat little gold badges to be
worn every day. The next meeting of the
Cadets will be held on Sunday, the 18th inst.
