Close of the Dominican Mission in Algiers
IT'S SPLENDID SPIRITUAL RESULTS.

The Mission by the Rev. Dominican Fathers
Rooney and Turner, of Louisville, which
opened in the Church of the Holy Name OF
Mary, at Algiers, on the Goth of April, closed
last Sunday evening with the beautiful and
solemn ceremony of the conservation of the
congregation to the Sacred Heart On that
day, also, his Grace, the Most Rev. Arch bishop,
administered confirmation to eighty seven
children and adults ariog the Mission, and
especially at the evening exercses-which
consisted of the Holy Rosary, a sermon and the
Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament-the
church, though large and capable of accom-
modating goodly number, was crowded to
| its utmost seating capacity, aud many anxious
listeners thronged the aisles the door,
glad to find standing room. Among
those whose presence was specially noticeable
were many non-Catholic persons who were
doubtless well informed and instructed as to
the sublime doctrines of the Church of God
by the eloquent Dominican preachers. We
may hope they were likewise edited, and their
prejndiCes being removed by the Catholic
truths ably demonstrated to their minds
their hearts may turn long to the only
path which leads to real happiness on EARTH
viz. knowledge of the one true faith.
To the Catholics of Algers, the Mission has
boen productive of many beneficial results,
some of which may be already seen in the
increased attendance at church on Sunday.
Those who nobly persisted in the practice of
their duties to Almighty God before Lave been
encouraged and strengthened to persevere to
the end; while the lukewarm, the negligent
and the Indifferent have had their eyes opened
to the frghtful precipice, on the brink of which
they stood, and have turned back shuddering.
To the latter class the Mission has indeed been
of incalculabe good.
The pastor, Rev. Father Bellangcr, is worthy
of all praise for his earnest practical and sue
cessful efforts to awaken the spiritual zeal of
his congregation. Among his many acts look
ing to this end may be mentioned the Mission
of last year conducted by the Redemptorists
and the late glorious which Fathers
Rooney and Turner came thousand miles
from their home in Louisville to give ut his
request.
The visible results of this Mission may be
enumerated as follows Number of Commune
preached the Sacraments for many years pre-
pared for confirmation, 81, of whom 90 were
adults; enrolled in the Society of the Most
Holy Rosary, 800; and large number enrolled
in the Scapular of the Blessed Virgin. Add to
these the formation of a Total Abstinence
Society, under the auspices of the Catholic
Total Abstinence Union of Louisiana, and we
have furnished record of which the priests
and people of Algiers may we'll be proud.

The CONCERT LAST SUNDAY,-The large au-
dence which gathered at st. AIMS church last
Sunday noon, to attend the concert for the
sufferers by the OVERT ow, gave practical evi.
dence of their sympathy for the unfortunate
people of Pointe Coupee parish, as well as of
their own appreciation of good music. Tho
forlorn condition of these poor people had
been so graphically portrayed by their pastor,
Father Gutton, that doubt could be enter
tanned of the success of any enterprise having
for its object their relief. But when the pro-
gramme for the concert was published, an
nouncing the appearance of such distin-
gushed musicians as Misses Elenry, Wagner
Farex and Nine. Witham, in connection with
Miss CapDons fine choir, everyone felt that q
financial well as a musical triumph was
insured. From Miss Cannon's card published
elsewhere, we are pleased to sec that the
handsome sum Of 1851 was realized. MINER
GUS engagements prevented the attendance of
a representative of the STAR, hence we can
give no detailed account of the concert itself,
though tho fine reputation of the musicians
aud the loud praises Of all who were SO fortu-
nate as to be present, leave room for doubt
that it was of the best ever given in this
city.

The culture of silk III this country, remarks
an exchange, is rapidly assuming an impor-
tanCe which few mad anticipated when the
first attempts were made. The American
producers of this article recently had ban
quct at New York, where the successes OF an
industry now firmly naturalized and steadily
developing was made a matter of genuine
congratulation. 1t appears that the produc-
tion of native silks amounted TO $lS,794, 900
in 1878, The business has kept its hands en-
ployed 70 per cent. of the usual hours of
labor in New York, S912 per cent. in New

FREAKs or LIGHTSING.-On Thursday after
noon last there was heavy wind storm accom-
panied with rain and considerable electricity.
Loud and frequent pcals Of thunder were heard
and the eye frequently dazz!ed for an instant by
brilliant lightning.
The telegraph pole in front Of Kneussps drug
store and the one next west were struck appar-
emily simultaneously, and the wire between In
stantly melted. Little spdrkles or balls OF blaz-
inr fire fell at both poles in showers, one Of them
burning a hole in DR.. Godfrcy's coat as that gen
tleman was standing upon the walk in front of
the drug store Every one along the street be-
tween the points where the Lightning struck was
more or less shocked and momcntarily blinded
bv the sudden, dazzling light. The subtle fluid
ran along the wire and entered the telegraph
Office of the Great Western line. The operator,
a lady. had lust thrown or the connection 20 pro
tect the instrument and SIN held hook q
the ground wire in her hand when tremendous
fash and shock came and when she rccoYcrcl
herself the instrument was partially destroyed
and the hook Of the ground wire melted in hoG
hand, and bits Of the other wire co.lcd up around
her like so many little snakes. Her life was
saved because the ground wire was all right, the
greater portion Of the electricity having passed
into the earth.
