4 Broken WATCH.

Mention was made in these columns this
week of the arrest in Louisville of Mary
Chapman, a colOred girl who had run away
from Nashville about the middle Of the
month, taking with her quite an assortment
of personal effects.
She is quite an intelligent girl, and we
Learn was on the point Of marrying a re-
spectacle cOlored man by the name Of Henry
Morgan, and that a sudden distaste for this
marriage was the cause of her leaving home
in such an abrupt manner. He had pur-
chased household furniture preparatory to
setting up for himself, and had given the
girl sums of money at various times, TO the
amount Of about $50, having given her SIS
the day before she left home, all Of which
money was to have been expended by her
in purchasing things she would need after
her marriage. The fifteen dollars she di-
verted from the purpose for which il was
intended and bought a trunk herewith,
into which she packed her bridal wardrobe
and other clothing and slit ont for LOuis-
Vile. taking MOGan's money TO defray ex-
penses with. The probability is that match
is ''oif,' for the present, At least.

RecenliOn.

On Wednesday, the Feast of the AnnUn-
citation. We had the good fortune of wit
Messing, at the Convent of the Sisters Of
our Lady of Mercy, one Of those sublime
SpecIacleS which causes the mind and heart
Of man to rise heavenward, forgetting, for
the time, all earthly troubles, and thinking
only Of Tie future. On entering the spa
ciOus hall, we are at nee impressed with
the religious character of the house; on its
walls hangs a fine picture Of the cruciliXiOn,
a l~ife-likeness of Pic Mono, and portraits Of
saints and doctors Of the church. The gen.
eral quiet of the place is broken only by
the gentle footsteps of the Sisters, as they
hurry hither and thither, attending to their
several duties, until the sound of the con.
vent bell calls them totheir devotion, when
sweet voices may be heard coInmuuing
with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords,
begging blessings fur all, aud especially for
those in greatest need.
4 few minutes before , O'Clock VT entered
the Convent chapel-yery small, but eX-
ceedingly beautiful, the altar is brilliantly
Illuminated by wax tapeTs. Not a sound
is heard. Presently the choir of Sisters
sing 80 Gloriosa Virginum, the Right
Rev. Bishop, the Very Rev. Vicar General,
Rev. Fathers SCannell, Mcnamara and
TphaUss, were seen clothed in their vest
ments, accompanied by acolytes; and about
the same time the procession appeared, led
by the -CroSs-bearers, supported on either
side and followed by about twenty little
girls, beautifully and richly dressed, and
seemingly fully impressed with the So
lemnitv of the occasion. These were fol-
lowed by the NoyiceS, then the Protested
Sisters, the SUperioress and her Assistant
being TO the right and left Of the PoStulaut.
Having taken the places assigned them in
the chapel, and the usual prayers recited,
the Bishop delivered a brief but interesting
address, appropriate to the OccasiOn-On
poverty and obedience, rs illustrated by
Our Lord while on earth, and also by his
blessed Mother and his Apostles.
The usual questions being put and salts
factorily answered, the postulant, conducted
by the SuperioresS and her assistant, re-
tired to put Off her secular dress, which was
of a rich white material, deliberately
wrought.
During the absence of the pOstulant, the
celebrant blesses the habit, and the choir
sing the 18th and the 18th Psalms. Re
turning in due time, clothed in the white
habit of the Order, the pOstulant receives
the cincture, the veil and the cloak, and
the ceremonies are concluded with prayers,
singing and Benediction of the Blessed
Sacrament.
The pOstulant was Miss Julia LySton,
who will henceforth be known as Sister
Mary Angela.
Miss MOllie Davis acted as CrOss-bearer,
and the following named little ':angels"
participated III the ceremonies: Misses
Caroline Clayerissa, Minnie Mahony,
Annie McKeon, Mary Mckenna, Celia
Rosie Dale, Nora Dwyer, Emma
Dalton, Josie LeCkey, Nellie AIogan, Re
gina Prendergast, Sallie Gillian, AIollie

YOUR ARTLEss WOMAN.

There IS a certain style of woman who
affects the most innocent simplicity on
questions TO which every one past first
childhood can give an answer; whose cue
IS naive ignorance, whose charm is her I'M
enlightenment, yet who can use her very
Ignorance as a trenchant weapon enough
when she is in the humOr. She has the
prettiest way possible Of putting you in the
wrong, and cOntradiets you with the least
shading and most directness of any woman
yOa can meet.
Sometimes she merely makes you appear
pedantic or obscure. The tone in which
she says, "Oh. you are too clever for poor
little me to talk to; and / dare say you are
right, bus then L am such ! little goose l
10 not understand YOU" is quite sufficient
70 annihilate YOU for the evening, if you
chance to be Of those unlucky ones who are
sensitive as to the impression they make.
She, so simple, so UntutOred, the child of
nature, makes it plain to you that you have
gone on a wrong road when you have
spoken 10 her as to a reasonable being of
decent education, and have assumed that
she possesses a mind and some degree of
instruction. Sine is AL heart; if You like,
she can exPatiate on her dear dog, or that
darling boat race; but she cannOt let you
think that she has ever used the eyes of
her mind, or seen anything deeper than
the selfeyident superficialities Of life.
II you talk to her on any subject beyond
the current trivialities of the day, she lifts
up her eyebrows aud says, allow Odd.'
And the next person to whom she speaks
hears that you are such an extraordinary
person, and have such funny ideas, Or she
may ring the changes BY saying that you
are so dreadfully learned she cannot under
stand yOu-and fancy speaking of such dry
subjects as the sun, or the state of Spain,
or the different p~hysiognOmies of a crowd,
to poor, silly, little her,
All she wants TO talk about is the opera,
or the fashions, or the latest scandal, what
ever it may be; or, failing a scandal, the
latest amusement; and anything to make
her think and use her brain, though in the
mildest way, rufileS her serenity and trans
forms you into a bore OF the first magni-
tude.

Meeting of r-oIice Commissioners.

The Police Commissioners met yester-
day for the purpose of considering certain
charges made against officer Reed. II
seems that Reed saw several disrepUtable
characters ~lOunging around a certain bake
N, at a late hour at night, and at the re-
quest of Capt. Yater, informed the propri-
etor of the bakery of that fact at the earliest
opportunity. TO this an employe at the
bakery objected, claiming that he was a re-
spectacle man, and presented charges
against the officer. Owing to the absence
from the city of Commissioner Ambrose,
trial of the case was POSTPONED.
