Sisters of Mercy in St. Patrick's Parish.

The Sisters of Mercy of st. Patrick's Con-
vent, Magazine street, between Lafayette and
Girod, having secured the services of one of
the most accomplished dress makers and
finished trimmers, are about to open an estab-
lishment or Industrial School, which will COM
bine the best advantages for successfully and
promptly filling all orders intrusted to them.
In establishing this new department of labor,
the Sisters have two objects 10 view; frst
that of giving homes to destitute young girls
and preparing them for the different positions
secondly, that of helping them to support their
Convent and enabling them to carry out their
works of mercy moro eficaciously. The self.
sacrificing zeal with which these noble Sisters
penetrate to the dark corners where misery
finds an abode, to the bedside of the sick
where the gentle ministrations of woman are
SO sorely needed, to the lonely cell where the
prisoner never hears sympathetic tone, is so
universally known and appreciated as to rem
dsr unnecessary any mention of what these
works of mercy are. Suffice it to say that the
Institution is entirely dependent on the labor
of the Sisters for support, and that being young
and poor, its resources are very limited. Under
these circumstances we judge that all those of
our lady readers who give out their sewing,
will deem it pleasure, well as a duty, to
give the Sisters helping hand, especially as
there can be no doubt that the work will be
attended to in a style fully equal to that of the
best dressmaking establishments. Particular
attention will be given to chidren's clothing.

ST. MARY-JEFFERsoN IN ST. JAMEs.-The
ytete day of the President of this favorite col
lege, recurring annually the third Sunday
after Easter, was celebrated this year by the
pupils with degree of earnestness and polish
unsurpassed in briliancy and effective ness by
even the most finished of like triumphs in the
past.
The series of intellectual treats melted out
bore testimony to the nice Rsthetical discern
ment of the directing Faculty, as the execu-
ton of the several parts, lyrical and dramatic,
showed in the students an assimilative apti-
tude of steady growth and diligeut exercise
of the powers in the tussle with the humani-
ties and the pleasant pursuit of the fine arts.
The play selected was entitled LIE Present., a
comico-operatic performance, replete with
humor, scenes and melody. The next is to be
in English Thus in "turn about d" the ton
CUES are given "fair play" A short proba-
tionary course at the college is all that is re-
quired to make boy, previously acquainted
with ore or the other language feel at homo
in a knowledge of either.

Fair For St. Joseph's New Church.

The great Fair in aid of St. Josephs new
Hall, Common and Derbigny streets. Judg-
ing from appearances at present, it is likely to
surpass all previous efforts in the line of Fairs,
in spite of the many drawbacks of the season.
Those who desire to spend pleasant evening
and at the same time cooperate in the erection
of one of the finest public monuments in the
entire country, will there find the most ample
means of gratifying their wishes.
The tables, decorated in the most beautiful
st5 lie, are presided over by ladies whose long
experience in such matters give ample guar
arantee of the successful issue of the enter
prise.
The prizes offered in competition deserv Q
particular notice. The magnificent silver tea
set manufactured for this special occasion,
shows ability on the part of our Southern
manufacturers unsurpassed in the country.
Phil McCabe desires to see his own name on
that set, and his numerous friends both within
Branch No. of the Hibernian organization
and elsewhere, declare his wish shall be graf
fled. The members of Fire Company No. 10
with host of other admirers of certain
popular wharinger, declare that no name but
that of Martin Finnerty shall be inscribed on
the silver.
Captain Flanagan, of the Metropolitans, W ill
give his irgdom for that horse to be won at
Mrs. Lambert's table, but the friends of Mr..
Kinsella say they are strong and numerous
enough to overrun his kingdom and carry off
the steed, and that they intend to do. How
ever, nous rerrons.
The Temperance Brigade has taken to COW
citing the beautiful flag of our country that
waves over the table of Mrs. Lynch, but the
fire boys of Philadelphia Engine Company No
IA say that they are stronger in the cold water
line than any temperance organization in the
country, and therefore that star spaugled
banner shall proudly yet wave over their en-
CINE house. And SO the cold water crusade
has been set on foot in our midst.
The great doll at the Children of Mary's
table is likely to set some of our young ladies
distracted, and perhaps some of the young
gentlemen also Dear Dolly what word painter
will be found competent to describe your
charms-you certainly should be a mine of
wealth to the Fair, as you must be of

We will attempt no further description of
the features of this great Fair, for no descrip-
ton, however cleverly done, could convey an
idea of all that is to be seen and admired, but
will simply advise all to go early and see for
themselves.

Grants New Policy.

We feel deep interest in politics so far
as they affect the liberty of this State and
the immediate prosperity of it's people,
though as to the remote advantages to re-
suit from lines of policy which concern
the nation in general, it does not come
within our province to discuss them or
take sides. We regard the rule of the
Republican party in the South as a grinding
tyranny, a concerted scheme for the plum
der and ruin of our people, and the great
est curse TO which malice and dishonesty
in revengeful majority could subject
powerless section.
Any thing, therefore, that looks like q
break in the ranks of oppressive despot-
ism, is hailed by us with the greatest salts
faction and we make no scruple in avow-
ing it. Gen. Grants veto of the financial
bill looks like break through which day
light can be seen. His party South and
tion and the Presidents action in favor of
the capitalists of New England will not
have a soothing influence on their feelings
Already the Administration has earned q
great deal of ill will by its disgraceful
jobbery and favoritism. It's hold upon
the Republican masses is reduced to a
question of expediency, sentiment having
long since retired in disgust. The CO.
hesiveness which enthusiasm gives, no
longer exists to withstand the shock of
such blow as the Presidents late veto,
and his party will not rally promptly, if
at all, from its ill humor.
Indeed, Gen. Grant must have given up
ali hopes of saving the party when he 30
boldly and deiantly made the financial
issue with the great majority of it's mem
bers. His policy is 50 Democratic and
conservative, that one may Justly suspect
him Of tendency to return to the old
party from which the glare of office at.
tracted him. The General has long head,
ard he 10 doubt sees the dissolution of the
Republican party to be inevitable. He
may even know it to be much nearer than
is apparent to ordinary observers. In that
case, it is but part of that prudent regard
for the future which military experience
makes instructive in a man, that he should
look out for soft place to fall on when be
comes down from the explosion.
Every election that has taken place this
spring shows the hopeless decline of Re-
publicanism. General elections and special
ones, from the contest for Governors chairs
and seats in Congress down to school
boards and village mayors, show a Demo
cratic gain everywhere. Congress may
hold out for time, owing to the members
already elected who will hold over, but the
State governments will neutralize the
poison of it's dishonesty by the frmness of
their opposition. 1t is quite probable that
the " Louisiana question " has had a great
deal to do with popular dissatisfaction at |
Radical misrule, and certainly no other
place is in a position to profit more by the
,eaction than the State whose persec utions
provoked it.

that they are clamorous for speedy repetition of the

MISSION IN AlGIERs by DOMINICAN Fathers
We understand that mission was commenced
IN the Church of the Holy Name of Mary,
Algiers last Sunday. 1t is given by the dis
tinguished Dominican Fathers, Rooney and
Turner, of Louisville, whose missionary labors
throughout the South during the past three
years have been productive of much good.
: So far the attendance has been very numer-
Gus and is daily increasing. Every night at
Al O'Clock the church, though large, is crowded.
The mission will continue till next Sunday,
May 10th, on which day His Grace, the Most
Rev. Archbishop, will be present to administer
the Sacrament of Confirmation.

ST.. MICHAELs FAIR.-This entertainment
closed last Monday night. We are happy to
learn that the Rev. Pastor, Father Heslin,
considering the many difficulties in the way of
the ladies, is well pleased with the success at
tending their Efforts While the returns from
some tables have not been in proportion to the
labors of the good ladies in charge, or the
valuable prizes offered, those from other tables
have far exceeded popular expectations.
At St. Patrick's table, Miss Harris was the
successful candidate in the contest for the
lady's watch, and at st. Alphonsus' table, Mr..
Chaffe in that for the gentleman's watch.
