PutLADELpf,IA's Wharf.-The story.oi Ber-
tie Wiukler, the Philadelphia wall, e2clses a
great deal Of interest both in that city and IL
Kew York. She left her home to relieve the
wants of an aged mother, dressed herself III
bov's clothes, and 10 the midst of poverty, aud
want and misery, preserved her position aud
her virtue, and the brightness and good nature
of her disposition, So much romance Is en-
twjucd round the story of the poor, trlcndles'
child. that many benevolent persons have colne
forward aud subscribed sufficient 10 provlde
her with proper clothes and means or llvel
hood. When she made up her mind to be
bow the only thing that worried her was her
hair. 1t Was loug, and FIJI 10 big waves oa her
shoulders, At lat she plated 1t IN two long
twists and cut them II square with the scissors.
She don't pow feel quite at houc III her orIsl
nal rig, and when sac tries to part her hair III
the middle it always giants to turn over on one
side, aud stand right straight up on the other.
BERTHE is the reigulng h0ucsS ut the day 10
Philadelphia.
BEER.-We believe that the cultivation OF
the taste for lager beer as substitute tor the
fcry alcoholic beverages used by the drinking
portion of the community Is one OF the best
possible movements in the cause OF temperance.
IF the compounds retaied at the bars III this
city, under the names of whiskey, brandy and
gin, and even as vine, were analysed the Won
der would not be that men are poisoned by the
use Of liquor, but that the number thus pols-
oped is not ten fold greater than 1t is. While
we do not advise ANY tcetotalcr 10 use beer,
we think it would be a happy circumstance II
the consumption of the latter were doubled and
that of alcoholic drinks diminished one-half
When beer shall become the rational beverage
there will be an immense reduction, not ouly
of the number of druukardS, but OF those
whose minds, nerves and bodies are seriously
injured by the poisonous authorizations now
sold 10 saloous. Chicago Tribune.

Beecher and Tilton.

immortality makes use of great names in
order to advertise itself. We fear that the
Beecher- Tiltou affair is going to be a
striking exenplificatiou of this truth, and
we caution our readers against patronizing
papers that deal in its details. News
papers fall into the hands of young per-
sons and it is conceded that such reading
is not fit-for them. There are portions of
medical books and, even, Of theological
works, and of the Bible itself, that should
be withheld from the idle curiosity of
youth. 1t is necessary for doctors and
police officers to be familiar with the de-
tails of vice, but the same necessity does
not apply to society at large, and its edu-
cation in such particulars is to be deplored.
Crime and vice are not freed from their
putrid contagiousness by the fact that they
exist in the atmosphere of palaces and
courts. A MILFORD may be the embodiment
of iufamy, and grand dame may be not n
whit better than wanton. Is the iDfec-
ton from their moral diseases less danger
Gus by reason of their purple and fine linenf
If the indecencies of magnates are to be
chronicled for promiscuous reading, why
not also those of the bawdy-bouseR We
can see no difference in the evil effect to
be wrought in young souls, whether the
scene of the vice depicted be laid in the
purleus of Basin street or the sanctuary OF
Plymouth Church.
We protest in advance, therefore, against
the publication for general reading of any
indecent details, whether false or true, that
may be brought to light in the BeecheI
investigation now going on. But in saying
this We do not mean to imply that BeecheI
is in our opinion guilty of the charges
We can give NO weight to tbs testimony Of

Feast of St. Ann at St. AIMS Church.

The feast of this glorious Saint, the mother
of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, was celebra1eu
with due solemnity at the beautiful church Oh
st. Ann, st. Philip street, of which the Rev. d.
Tumoine is pastor.
High Mass was said at 9 o'clock by the very
Rev. G. Raymond, V. G., Fathers Tumolne'
LHoste and Chase assisting in the sanctuary
and very large congregation, of whom many
were strangers from distant parts of the city'
filling the nave. After the first Gospel, Father
Chase delivered splendid sermon, in Frenoh'
on the life and character of st. Ann and Vne
lessons should draw from them. Fatnel
Chase, though quite young man. is one %
our best pulpit orators. His voice is sonorouS'
his enunciation distinct, and his gestures
graceful and always appropriate. he mas
great command of language and speaks VIII
that JUNCTION which betokens an earnest splr"
and mind profoundly impressed with the I'M
portauce of the subject under consideration
The magnificent Mass of the Immaculate
Conception, by Prof. Curto, was the one sung
on the occasion, and was rendered in the mos'
superb style. The choir of st. AIMS, which,
under the leadership of Miss Theresa Cannon
has won reputation second to that OF NO
other in the city, was reinforced by = numnel

stincts and convictions of manhood as is
the fellow Tilton by his own confession
A man who can see no moral wrong in the
deliberate nfidelity of his own wife, but
holds her quite excusable, is no longer to
be ranked among men. He ID beast, or
at least he adopts their code of morals.
D.. Mr.. Beecher ought not to be judged in
advance. He is amarried man, and though
he is rather stump orator than preacher;
though he prostitutes the pulpit to politics ,
though he calls his meeting house church
and then makes a sensational theatre of it
and mart for the acquisition of money,
yet he may be true to his wife. He seems
to be very uncertain as to whether there
be any particular God, but ho can have no
doub's as to his marriage.

There is already said to be serious
split among the Republicans, and perhaps
q compromise could be made with the
more respectable, or Custom House, faction
BY which ow-taxation could be positively
ensured.
The fate of our people heretofore, in
making bargains with Republicans, has
been unfortunate and discouraging but
then we were unfortunate in the selec-
ton that VS. made of allies. Instead OF
siding with the moro dishonorable of ones
opponents one ought to side with the more
honorable.
We tried one of these alternatives and
failed most miserably. If we try the
other aud fail, it will then be time enough
to talk of Revolution against negro gov
ernment.

EXHIBITION OF ST. BAs1Ls ACADEMY,
PLAoUEN1SE.-The people of Ibervile must be
very thonkful to the Sisters Mariauite OF
Holy Cross, for the pleasant entertainment to
which they we're treated by the pupils of ST.
Basil's Academy, under the direction of those
estimable ladies. Beside the usual selection
of rectations, plays, essays and songs, there
was that great enlivener of all exhibitions,-a
brass band. Two young ladies were gradu-
ated, Misses Melanie Hebcrt and Katie NC
Kenna. In addition to the diploma awarded
each, Miss Hebert was presented with crown
of honor and the gold medal The names OF
large number of other young ladies were read'
as deserving of complimentary mention; some
for choice needle work, some for piano playing
some for excellence and proficiency, all tor
commendable department. The exercises were
closed by the announcement that the studies
would he resumed on the 1st of September
when an increased attendance is expected

Holy Cross COLLEGE, FRANKLIN, LA.-On
the 18th ultimo, in the presence of few
friends, the annual distribution Of premiums
took place. When all of the deserving students
had been made the recipients of their several
prizes, Rev. Father LeCosique, at the request
of the Rev. President, addressed the assembled
pupils in a speech of encouragement and con-
graduation. One sentiment therein was, at
this time, most particularly IN appeal to their
manhood, viz, to be Industrious and perseve-
ring that they may aid in the development of
Louisiana, with which State all of them are
identified. The reverend gentleman was sue
ceeded by the professor of English literature,
Mr.. w. j. Cappick, who thanked the audience
for their attendance, and praised the success
full industry of the young aspirauts for collie
giate donors. The programme having been
completed hy the remarks of the above gen.
tlcman an adjournment to the rejection hall
was next in order.
