The new line between the Pontchar.rain

neat. But there are q few draw backs. The

there any necessity. in addition to this, that

The Morning Star.

To-day. this estimable newspaper, and ac-
knowledged exponent of our Catholic popu
latlon commences its seventh volume
Beginning on but slight capital, and but
lukewarmly sustained by the believers in It's
own creed. the Star has, by the vigor of its
editorials, and the energy and enterprise of
its management, placed itself among the
foremost in the front rank of CATHOLIC jour
mails. and made itself fully equal to any
weekly newspaper South. Though we may
differ from it. occasionally, in our views of
current topics, yet we cordially and sim
cerely wish it much success and continued
prosperity.

In recent letter from Russia, United
States Minister Jewell writes: Blanks have
been regularly chartered here now for
about ten years, and pay, all of them. eight,
nine and ten per cent dividends. These
stocks are all worth from l20 to leo. l have
not yet learned how many there are in oper-
alton but there has as yet been no failure
among them. The government exercises
strict watch over them, and q defalcation

Balls Last Might.

First in order comes the ball of the Silver
| Bell Social Club. This fine organization,
[ composed mainly of young men of the Sec
ond District, is noted for it's select social
entertainments. But last nights ball was
the erowning triumph for this club. Grune-
valid Hall was crowded to it's utmost capa-
city The gaily dressed masEers and the
merry music made a scene like fairy land.
The hall was elegantly decorated, conspicu-
GUS being the flag and wreath voted 70 the
Silver Bell Club at the German school fest-
val last May. Mr.. F. c. Deck is the presi-
dent of the club; Mr.. Rotham is the secre-
tary, and they may well feel proud of the
club whose commanding officers they are.
Mr.. John Hoffman. who was the first secre-
tary OF the club, and was mainly instru.
mental iE perfecting its organization, was
on the committee Of arrangements. With
him as the ruling spirit, and Mr.. r. Deck
and the worthy president and vice president
to aid and advise. who can wonder tha. the
ball was bri!lian: festival and magniti.
cent success.
The Standard Club gave q grand com.
plimentary ball at Exposition Hall last
night. This club is a social organization of
recent growth. but. judging from the enter
tainment last evening, we should incline to
the opinion that many of our old estab-
lished clubs had better leok to their lau-
rels. or the Standard Club will snatch them
from them. Mr.. B. S. Forcheimer was the
chairman of the committee Of arrange
lnents and Mr.. NJ. Goldsmith officiated in a
like capacity on the reception committee.
No ball yet given in Exposition Hall can be
said to outvie in splendor the one given last
night. 1t was most select reception on
the part Of one of our best clubs. The en-
tertainment rivaled and reminded US of
those given by the Rifle Club.
The following gentlemen were floor man.
ayers: Messrs. NJ. Lehman, s. Chapsky,
Max Stern. Henry D. King, P E Burke, P.
Cohen, +. G.. Becker and William Gowland

Mortgage Notes.

EDiToH REPUBLICAN:
have read with interest the various com.
ments of che newspapers upon the bill now
before the Legislature in regard to mort
gage notes.
1t appears to me that the bill in question
Is not only good measure, but a necessary
preventive Of such gross swindles as have
lately been practiced on the public. by q
certain notary.
Suppose should have to pay the recorder
OF mortgages or parish recorder fifty cents
more than do now, is not the guarantee
that my note is genuine worth fifty cents
to met And again, if l want to cancel a
mortgage ] must, under the present law,
pay my notary 81 for writing certificate
of identification to the recorders; or, in
other words, now pay to my notary at the
expiration of a mortgage $4 for the same
work which the bill provides l shall pay
fifty cents in advance to for the recorder.
My note being countersigned by the re-
cOrder, this expensive notarial identifica-
ton would be unnecessary, and would thus
not only save So SO by the new mode, but
the genuineness of my note would be firmly
established. l do not object to increasing
the fees of recorders if by so doing get
value received for the same and ultimately
succeed in reducing the costs of executing
a mortgage. am aware that the notaries
regard this as an invasion upon an ancient
custom and the annihilation of a lucrative
perquisite, and have organized powerful
opposition to the bill, but they must recol-
lect that the public demand reform in the
exercise of their duties as we'll as in other
official quarters. and that bill OF this ma
ture, regulating their actions and protect
ing the public against fraud can not be de-
teated by the lame subterfuge of hue and
cry against inerea sing the tees of recorders.

The Defeat of Gladstone

LONDON, February I, $50 A. M.-The
Daiy Telegraph says the opinion of the
country Is pronounced. 1t is strongly ad-
verse to Gladstone. He will comply with
the decision, as he is bound to do and will
follow the constitutional precedents set by
Peel, Melbourne and others under similar
circumstances. They met Parliament with
roy al speech, and either resigned there
upon or submitted to formal defeat.
Not only is the field lost, but it is lost most
decislvely. The results are attributed to
Mr.. Bruce's unpopular licensing act, the
division Of the Liberal party on side issues,
such as the education act, female suffrage.
the permissive bill, the deep and not un-
natural dlspleasure at the violent language
against society used by the supporters of
the wOralngmen's candidate and lastly, the
want of tact and sympathy shown by sew
eral members of the administration.
His Probable Resignation.
The Post of this morning thinks it quite
certain that Gladstone will resign the pre-
mlership before the new Parliament assem-
bes. The press of this city unanimously
recognize the completeness of the defeat Of
the government in the election.

ChOctaw Council.


CADDO, l. T., February 6.-The Choctav
Council has just adjourned, after a session
OF three weeks.
The result of their deliberations NAV be
summed up as follows: They passed resolu-
tons protesting against territorial govern

testing against the Chckasaw survey and
allotment, and refused to entertain the
proposition of the adopted negroes residing
along with them.
They appointed commission of three
persons to go to Washington to effect a set
tlement in regard to the boundary line be-
tween Arkansas and the Chcka5aw Ma
ton, and personally urge Congress not to
pass the territorial bill.
They repudiated the Cothrane contract,
under which $4,000 have already been ad-
vanced.

Out Of the depths we cry;
Gladly we JOIN to hymn Thy praise
And upward lift our eye

Join in one grand perpetual psalm
of thankfulness to Thee.
But natures lOrd-immortal man
Fails where his slave obeys:
Sc rots his prayer to dust and choI.s
The glad sweet bre ath Of praise.

THE PAST.

Translated from the German of Nicholas Lenar
for the New Orleans Republican.
Hesperus, with feeble ray,
Smiles wan and dreary smile;
The has set another DAY
Has entered deaths eternal aisle.
In the moonlight pale and mellow,
Fleecy clouds are fitting fast,
Wearing wreaths of roses yellow
For the ashes Of the past.
Tomb Of days now gone forever.
Silent past! within thy breast
The keenest panS that heart can sever,
And sweetest Joy alas must rest.
