GALENA & PLATTvIGLE Y

GALENA 4 PLATTvIELE \ q r. r.
At last something boosting towards
the compile ion of the Narrow Gauge
Railroad from GaIena to Plattv lille
has been arrived at. Let Us all re-
joice. A meeting of the Directors
was held at Galena on the 7th inst,
al which it was determined to push
the work forward to an early compile
ton, and Major Edward Harding was
ordered to proceed at once to New
York and Philadelphia, for the pur-
pose of purchasing the iron and loco
motives for the road, and Mr.. Hard
ing started on his mission that same
evening. He was also further in
structed to close contract with the
Litchfield, Iii car works for the
necessary rolling stock to operate the
road. One gang of men was at once
set at work in the vicinity of Burton's
bridge, and another gang, under Mr..
K. 2. Stitt, on the Galena river to re-
build the bridge that was washed
out during late storm For two
years our readers living in the south
eastern part of the county have been
in expectancy of the early building
OF the road, and, since the garding
was completed, this is the FIRST indi-
cation that their hopes would be re-
allied. Since the asceadency of Mr..
Ryan to the Presidency of the road,
forward movement has been his bat
tie cry, and ere long be will have the
road in running order and the people
will be happy.

when there we hardly know what to do. A

earnestly recommend it to the attention of N,

Don Carlos and Els Army.

Don Carlos must at tho least be a puzzle to
the Spanish Republicans. According to their
accounts he ought long since to have been
swept with all his followers out of the peoiu
sula; instead of which he has sixteen pro-
vinces urder his authority. His "rmy, thor
oughly equipped, paid clothed and provision
ed, number so coo we}l-armed volunteers. In
cudiug four Whitworth and Krupp guns
among his artillery, he possesst, tifty-eigbt
pieces of cannon. Most of these pieces come
to h m from the foundres of Navarro. Whe,e-
ever the young King goes-he is in the flow
of his manhood, being just twenty seven years
of ag the Spanish peasantry tbrong around
him with enthusiasm. Old and young, they
come eagerly to kiss lis hand in token of their
loyalty. good horseWan, a splendid cavalry
soldier, tall in stature, comely in feature, ele-
CANT in bearing, he comm ands their admira-
ton. In spite of all sorts of sipister prophe-
cies to the contrary, he still contrives, as he
has long since contrived, to hold his own
against all comers. A glimpse has recently
been obtained of Don Carlos and his Immediate
encourage, upon the reliable evidence, re-
ported through the Unrers, of General du
Temple, the Royalist deputy for Ille-et-Vilaipe.
According to this notable eyewitness, fresh
from the camp of Don Carlos, " The King is
very cheerful and, wonderful to relate, does not
seem to be afraid of BisDarck In my preeence
he received affectionately the Commando lin
chief of his troops, Marshal Elio a noble old
man, who addIe essed him with the most pro-
found Difference. By the side of Don Carlos
stood two distinguished looking young men, two
Bourbons, the Comics de Bari and de Bardi.

Naples. The officers are full of zeal for the
service, and vory friendly towards each other.
The soldiers d:ill with great goodwill, the
spirit of discipline is perfect, and robbery is
put down in Navarro" Yet these the sol
/ diers, these are the officers, these are the
generals, this is the King, that for months
upon months past Europe has been assured
cannot be regsrded having the ghost of a
chance, according to the veracious evidence

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

"Of all the duties prescribed by our holy
Religion" says ST. Alphonsus, the Sacrifice
of the Mass is that which is most pleasing to
God and most salutary to man."
Aud, "When we hear Mass we give more
honor to God than all the angels and Saints in
Heaven give him, because their honor is only
that of creatures; but in the Mass we offer to
God, Jesus Christ, who gives him infinite
honor"
Again, "To him who hears Mass an iudul-
gence of Three Thousand Eight Hundred years
is granted"
A spiritual son of this illustrious Saint (Rev.
Michael Mueller) in his recent work, "The
Holy Mass, the Sacrifice for the Living and the
Dead" says:
"If we 60 often to Mass, this holy sacrifice
will correct our faults without bitterness will
heal our wounds without pain; will purify
our hearts without violence will sanctify our
soul without alarm, and almost without a
struggle; it will detach US from selves
without the cor llsio of death; it will with
draw Us from creatures and unite to God
without agony. 1t is the remedy which Jesus
Christ has left as in all its sweetness. The
poor and the rich, the mechanic and the mer-
chant, the married and the upmarri I, the s ok
and the strong, all can easily participate in
this adorable sacrif' without leaving the
world, without ipjr t;ng their health, or
abandoning their family or employ ments The
holy Sacrifice of the Mass, then, is the n ost
beautiful, the most sublime, the most power
ful the. most acceptable, a d witnal, the
easiest worship that we can ever offer to God
This is the reason why HSly Church comma Is
her children under pain of mo tai sin to hear
Mass at Least every Sunday and holy-day of
obligation why she for''ds us to come too
late TO Mass +; why we always find good Catho-
lies eager to assist at the divine sacrifice."
Notwithstanding the innumerable indul
gences grsnted to those who assist at the holy
Sacrifice of the Mass, and the many blessin gs
and favors, both spiritual and temporal, they
might obtain for themselves and their families.

Catholic Total Abstir ence soc,eties

The quarterly Communion of St. Theresa's
Society took place at St. rheresa's Church, at
the II o'clock last Sunday. Abont so
members were present, besides twenty FIVE of
the boys of St. Joseph's Cadet Society. The
Jealous Pastor, Father Massardier. addressed
the members before the last gospel, commend
ing tho truly Catholic spirit of their organza
tion as manifested by their numerous atten-
dance at Communion. He promised his most
earnest support to the Total Abstinence move
ment, and particularly to the Society in his
parish and said he would use his influence to
so increase it's membership that soon few of
his male parshiouers would be found outside
its fold. He also expressed the opinion that
much good would result if the ladies' were to
take active interest in the Society.
Father Massard' 'er then spoke of the Society
of Vincent de Paul as being, in his opinion, the
most perfect society in existence for laymen.
He was sorry that it not more numerous
in his parish and that, with the great numbers
of poor, its resources were SO limited,-but if
the people were more temperate, of course
there would be less poverty and the Confer
ence would increase in numbers; hence the two
Societies, St. Vincent de PauFs and the Total
Abstinence. could not possibly conflict but, on
Tue contrary, were mutual support ana as
sistanoe to each other.
The attendance of st. Josephs Cadets will,
no doubt, have very good effect npon the
youths of St. Theresa's parish, in creating in
them desire to emulate excellent ex-
ample as the former have given. There is no
reason why there should not be large Cadet
society in almost every parish of the city, that
the thousands of boys, who to rule the
land in the not distant future, may be pro-
tected from one of the most frightful vices of
our time, and may grow up to be good, pr&c-
tical Catholics.

Christmas.

Not much to boast of this year in the way
of merry Christmas, that is, judged
frem the standpoint oftemporal prosperity,
as such matter is generally judged.
Clouds still lower over us; the future still
looks dark, while the present is as gloomy
as ever. People with property are more
disconsOlate than those not burthened with
it. There are the inevitable taxes to pay,
and no rents coming in. Real estate is
the basis, Us we'll as the barometer, of pros
perity. Quand 10 battisse ga, tout "a, say
the French. When you see buildings and
improvements freely going on you may
know that money is moving freely, that
general business is active, that prosperity
prevails.
When, on the other hand, real estate is
depressed, when people grow wary of lold-
ing it, whom taxes rise and rents fall, when
public moneys are squandered and p-blic
credit is prostrated, every kind of
business languishes. Money hides itself,
work gets scarce, people look for bread in
stead of bonbons, and Christmas cheer is
not so free as usual. That is about opr fix
now.
ucu lucTS is dUULueT OuJiOOk. fSOple
ought not to grow gloomy because of the
outside gloom. The human face is not
mere machine made to reflect the changing
tints Of the skies. The vision of the soul
is able to 60 beyond them and look upon a
heaven forever cloudless. There are grades
of prosperity, and even under the most
crushing despotisms, men are generally
able to make some kind of a living, pro-
vided they stick with diligence aud sterdi-
ness to business which they understand.
There is a Providence which gives us
whatever we ehave-sometimes more, some
times less, but always enough. The know
ledge of such a patrimony ought to render
every body cheerful, and chase away any
craven feals that would darken the radi
ance of home at the season of "Merry
Christmas"

The Concert.

The weather was very unfavorabie last
Wednesday evening for the gathering of
a good audience to hear the musical treat
with which St. Patrick's Hall wac to be
| inaugurated. But, notwithstanding the
| weather, a splendid attendance evidenced
the interest in the occasion felt by the
public. Estimates by competent judges
vary from / 900 to 800 as the number of
| persons present, a number large in itself but
| rather scant in comparison with the i'm
mense capacity of the Hall.
What was lacking, however, in the az,
and density of the crowd was compensated
| by it's selectness and artistic taste. 1t was
observed that au unusually large porpor-
tion of our best Creole population was pre-
sent, EN- bracipg numbers of very thorough
amateur musicians, not only familiar with
| music as q science but personally skilled
in it as an art. When we say that the per-
formances of the evening elected the hearth
| est applause from so recherche an audience,
we give the best idea of their merit. Mr..
Cartier and Mr.. Levaine conducted the
we cannot but make our columns the chan
mel for expressing to them, as we'll as to Mr..
Meteye and the lady participants, the
gratitude for their kindness felt by all in
| terested in the success of the entertain
ment. We shall not attempt any critical
appreciation of their efforts, in view of the
ovation called forth from such an audience.
We are especially gratifed to record the
brilliant success of the Hall as an arena Of
sound. The test to which it was put on
Wednesday evening is pronounced entirely
satisfactory by most competent authority,
the human voice filling it's vast space with
eaee, unbrokeu by any confusing echoes
This quality will make it great favorite
with the public as place for lectures and
concerts. The splendor of its illumination,
it's immensity, its airness and it's location
will insure its popularity with the frequen
ters of public reunions of any kind.

The Crowning Infamy.

The Returning Board adjourned, foaiiy, on
Christmas Eve, Gath inst, after having can
sassed the election returns from all the
parishes of the State excepting four. AS was
expected, from tn o character of the members of
that Board, the Conservative majority of 5000
gradually dwndled away under their mauipu-
lation of the returns, until at their last session
on Thursday, they consummated the deed of
iDfamy by throwing out q suficiept pnmber of
Conservative votes to enable them to declare
elected the Radical nominee for the office of
State Treasurer. So far as the Representives
of the people in the Lower House of the
Legislature are concerned, their action has been
even more fagrantiy unjust. According to the
official returns, seventy Conservatives and
forty ope Radicals were elected. The Board
has declared elected fifty two Conservatives
end ffty-four Radicals, thus changing Con-
servative majority of wenty-nine into a Rad-
cal majority of two. The cases of the parishes
of Grant, Winn, Bienville and De Soto, all of
which gave heavy Conservative majorites,
were referred to the Legislature, which, by
the rulinsr of the Board having Radical ma
jority, will, of course, declare al, the Radical
candidates elected.
Comment is unnecessary. We give the
facts our people and the world can judge.
1t would be WELL however, for all true
REPUBLICANS, for all lovers of CONSTITUTIONAL
liberty, to remember the names of all who
were concerned, principals, in this dark
and damning act; they are

The Southern Catholic, published at
Memphis, has been giving Us credit for the
utterances, it must be, of some other PAPER.
1t quotes holding that Catholic Un-
ions are unnecessary. If the Catholic can
point ont tous the article we will take great
pleasure in repudiating it. 1t must have
been inserted in some number of the Morn
ing Star not published in New Orleans and
which the editors themselves have never
seen. We remember but one article on
that subject published by US during the
last six months. In that we urged,
to the very best of our ability, that Catho-
lie Unions are very necessary. How the
particle "un" became prefxed to the word
in the columns of our cotemporary we are
unable to say.
