The American Newspaper Di-
rect0ry for 1874,

The American Newspaper Di-
rect0Iy for 1874,
by Geo. p. Rowell & Co, n. Y,
is a work of near 900 pages, neatly
bound in cloth, and is a valuable
compendium of newspaper stats
ties and information throughout all
America, with the exception Of
Mexico. 1t exhibits the names Of
77S4 newspapers, which is an in
crease of 493 over 1873, of 862
over 1872, and of 1876 over 1871.
The tables EXHIBIT some curious
facts. Thus of the gain for 1874
New York State has 81, Illinois
A, Ohio Al, Michigan SO, Missou-
ri and Pennsylvania, each, q,
Tennessee 9 and staid, slow old
Virginia /, while Louisiana, the
black anvil on which Federal powo
cr has chosen to beat its swords
and spears into plow-shares and
pruning-hooks, shows decrease of
Is, and Indiana, next door TO Hi
nois with its increase Of A, loses
q. The District of Columbia,
with its thieves and plunderers,
gnawing at the corners of the Ma
tional Treasury, loses 9.
These tables tell against the
semi-weeklies and tri-weeklies, for,
while the dailies have added % to
their number, and the wecklies
403, these have decreased in nnm-
bers. The fact is, the American
reader has little use for anything
between a weekly and a daily.

BEN BUTLER ON THE LIT
TIE SISTERS.

In the very last hours Of Con-
gress quite an animated debate
sprung up on the proposition to APP
propriate $4,000 for the Little
Sisters of the Poor.
Garfield, Of Ohio, chairman of
committee on appropriations, OPP
posed its passage, on the ground
that it was an organization exclu-
sively OF the people of one denomi-
nation.
Mr.. CESSNA PA. IL want to know
whether or not Protestants as we'll as
Catholics receive the benefits Of this
Institution?
Mr.. GARF1ELD.-I understand that
its benefciaries sre taken without
regard to religious denominations.
Mr.. CEssNA.-Then these 'Little
Sisters" ought to have the money.

self before the House aud the coun-
try in the attitude he had assumed
to-day. His speech had led him tMr.
Parker to the belief that there must
be ranking somewhere in the gen.
tleman'S breast, and a prejudice
against these "Little Sisters" because
of their religious faith. He himself
was not Catholic and not much of
Protestant laughter)-b he would
call the attention of the House, and
the attention especially of the gen
tleman Mr.. Garfeld) who led divi-
sion of the army during the war, to
the fact that when these Catholic
nuns we're on the battlefield gathering
up the wounded and the dying, and
bringing consolation to their minds,
and when they knelt before the dying
no one stopped to enquire what their
religious faith was. The white bon
neted nun was seen carrying consola-
tiOn to the gallant soldiers of the re-
pnbiic on every battlefield, and now
a refusal to give them this small a d
must be based on religious prejudice
alone.
Mr.. BUTLER Mass recalled the
fact that when in New Orleans hum
dreds Of his command were dying of
fever and the malaria of the swamps,
they were cared for by the Sisters of
Charity, and the question what their
faith was had never been asked
The only question asked was were
they sick and dying and then they
were taken into the Hospital Of the
Sisters of Charity. and treated as
carefully and as well as if they had
been of their faith. H would cut
of his right hand before he would
strike down this appropriation from
any religious prejudice against the
Catholic faith.
The amendment was concurred in
by 1Ol to 20.
