A Circular Letter Of the Most Reverend
Archbishop Of New Orleans to the
Clergy Of His Diucese.

Rec. and Dear Brotter-The Church Of St
John the Baptist IN the First District OF New
Orleans, is burdened with q heavy debt, and is
threatened to be sold, unless there can be found,
within few weeks, from $50, 900 to $40. 600, to
meet the most urgent claims. The sale Of one
Of our churches would be a dishonor for the do
cese and shame for the clergy and the Catholic
population. The faithful Of st. John Baptist, ex-
hausted by the So crlfices they have already made,
arc unable to meet the present wants. There
remains only one means to save that church and
avoid the shame which this sale would draw
upon us all. To that means have recourse. in
appealing to all the Catholics OF the diocese. IT,
III all the parishes Of the city and country, every
Catholic who can, has the good will to give, once
for all, a dollar and half or two dollars, it Will
be easy to save that church; for there must be in
the city from 20 GOO to 25 900 Catholics, who with
out much inconvenience. could make tina. Offer
ing. This means has already been used, with
complete success, in diocese in which the Cath
ole population was much less than in the Do
cese OF New Orleans.
But in order that theis means may succeed,
need. reverend and dear brother, Your oo-opera-
ton with your parishioners. You will read this
circular letter to the faithful ntrusted to your
care; you will explain to them the solidarity ex-
1stins amongst us all, the children Of the same
mother-the Holy Catholic Church; and You will
make them understand that they are bonnd to
rise above that narrow, sectional spirit which is
anti-Catholic spirit. As for me, say it with
confidence before men, because can say it IN
conscience before God
l see nothing in al the Catholics OF this Do
c ese, but my children, who are all equally dear
to me, without distinction OF origin or national
ity, and l am sure that you also, dear Brother
have these noble views, that elevated spirit that
generous heart, which you will communicate to
your parishioners III developing to them the
tives which ought to induce them to respond
generously TO the pressing appeal which make
to-day to all the Catholics Of this Diocese.
Invoking upon you and ali your parishioncrs the
most precious blessings of the Lord, I remain.
your afectiouate friend and father, in Christ,
NAPOLEON JOSEPH,
Archbishop of New Orleans, |

Too Generous and Much Tilted.

Old Luther Bryant has hard time Of it-pooz
fellow. Some time ago this singular old coin
dealer was thrown in the Tombs in New York
upon charge that never has been Investigated,
and while in jail was robbed Of s120 900 worth Of
gold and other valuables which his rooms con-
tanned. He was turned out after the robbery to
fnd himself despoiled OF the savings of whole
long lifetime's work, except some furniture that
the thieves left. We gave the particulars at the
time. He is in trouble again. After he got out
OF jail he transferred his furniture worth 5000,
TO Miss Lizzie Neugebaur for the nominal sum OF
800, and gave her q receipt for Il =, l. lizzie
took it to her mothers house, Bryant giving
her $40 to pay the expenses of removing
it. This cleaned the old man out OF his
worldly possessions entirely, and he had no
place whereon 10 lay his head. But it seems he
expected to lay his sivery hairs close beside Liz
ze's blonde tresses. He is seventy-three and
Lizzie is eighteen, and fair to look upon in form
and feature. She is also good, industrious girl,
and works at pockes-booK making to support
herself and mother Old Bryant had been kind
10 her, she admits, but she had never thought Of
marrying him. Bryant had been thinking Of
her it seems, and now that he was ccir.-
less and furnitureless, he asked the girl to take
him husband, and she said "No,' very en-
phaticany. She had not thought and could not
think of such thing. The old man was com
pletely done for. Lizzie returned him the s2G,
Jut is resolved to hold the furniture and receipt.
Bryant wants lis goods back, since he cannot get
he wife he had picked out to be the nurse Of his
asst days, ard is going to law about it. Lizzie
las engaged counsel too, and Will make the best
light she can against the Poor, unfortunate old

Torpedoes, according to the report OF Gen.
Humphrey Chief Of Engineers, are coming more
and more into favor as means OF river and har-
Dor defense. They have the advantage over
monitors of being far less costly and requiring
fewer men for their management, and if the navy
should ever be successful in their use as the
army, they may take the place of iron clads, ex-
cept for attacking forts. There are much greater
difficulties in using torpedoes for attack, III
launching them under water and directing their
course beneath the surface, than in merely firing
them at some point where they are sunk to de-
fend a channel but many experiments in this
country and in England give fair hope that these
difficulties may be overcome.
