SUPERIORITY OF CATHOLIC SCHOOLS
The religious teaching Orders of the Catholic
Church are not merely the cheapest teach
ing bodies in the world, but they are con-
stantly giving proof by results that they
are the best. Recently there has been a
Brothers schools in Paris, compared with
the lay or secular schools. There are in
Paris fifty-four schools directed by the
Brothers, and seventy eight lay schools. 1t
would therefore be natural to expect that
the pupils of the lay schools should far
exceed in success the pupils of the Christian
schools competing for common prize. AS
was the case last year, so this year, the
students of the Brothers have won more
than their share of the burses in the higher
municipal schools which are thrown open
to public competition. There were sos
competitors; of these 272 were sent for
ward by the Christian schools, and 233 by
the lay schools. Even here it will be seen
that Catholic education won the advantage.
This advantage was substantial in the
preliminary concursus, by which 292
scholars were eliminated from the contest,
vi these IVA were lay and IIS Catholic
There were therefore 2l3 admitted to the
defnitive trial, of whom l54 belonged to the
Brothers and fifty-nine to the lay teachers.
There were 1873 burses awarded. the
Brothers boys winning 137, the Law schools
taking only forty eight, which gives a ma
jority for Catholic education of eiqhtU nfney
Moreover the Brothers boys were not
merely the most numerous they were also
best. They had the first four places, and
there was but one lay school boy in the first
schools cost the city of Paris 7 The lay
schools cost 100000 francs, and the
Christian schools cost only 535 900 francs.

PUrTIss A GIRpLR ROUND THE EARTH
From q report of the Austrian government on
the Vienna exhibition we gather the following
particulars respecting the increase of means OF
Communication In various parts OF the globe
during the last six years. Lines Of telegraph
wire have been increased from 81 ,16s to II 900
geographical miles, and q complete line now
runs from San Francisco across the continent Of
America and the Atlantic through Europe and
Siberia, TO the mouth of the Amur on the east
ern confines Of Asia; while branch lines connect
India, Japan. and Australia. The mileage OF
railways has increased during the same period
from "A 500 to 81 900 miles; and calculation has
been arrived at that no less than four millions of
people are daily conveyed by this species Of To-
comotion. By means Of the postal service IL IL
calculated that $50 millions Of letters circulate
annually, or about nine and q quarter millions
a day. or 100 second. In 1860 the value OF the
exports and imports over the face OF the globe
amounted, according to an Austra allan statisti-
clan, Herr Kolb, to about Is, 900 million OF
horins, 800 millions sterling; while ten years
later, according TO French calculation, Ii had
increased 70 3 no millions of orins, or no less
than "a DER cent.

THE DECLINE OF THE PICsIc.-Doubtless
there are such things as eminently proper pic
Rics-family picnics, where no man gets drunk
and no woman gets insulted; but these seem to
be getting scarcer every year. The facility
with Which the picnic is converted into an eI-
euse for ruffianism in one sex, and frailty, TO
call Ii by no worse name in the other, is uncom-
ELEMENTARY to the population of large cities.
One would imagine that the beauty Of nature,
now in full luxuriance, would WOO even the de-
PRAYED heart and bluntea mind to thoughts OF
purity and peace. But the contrary seems too
often the case, as several of the picnics which
came Of on the Fourth have recently again
shown. Almost every gentle landscape, which
the genius of the modern excursion touches, is
desecrated and befouled by the contact. The
indignant foliage rustles with shame, and could
the leaves tell all they have looked down upon
we should have a pOetical report delivered in
eolisn cadences. All the splendid livery of ma
ture is spattered with the moral mud the mod
ern picnic has thrown upon IL. No wonder that
respectable people shrink more and more from
paItaking in festivals of this order; that careful
parents will not let their children, prudent mis-.
tresses their servants go 10 them. In numerous
Instances the modern picnic Is only the excuse
for brutality, drunkenness and license; and for
this reason all who respect themselves have
lately begun TO discountenance these more than
questionable Chicago later Ocean

a SOCIAL SCANDAL IN PATERSON, N j.
The moral community of Paterson, n. j., Is
excited at present in consequence Of an alleged
scandal which has come to light in that city.
wife, and young man named Laden who is
employed as a clerk in Stew arts dry goods store
in New York. Tissel and his wife have been
married and resided in Paterson during the
last seven years About year ago. Laden made
thelr acquaintance, and at once became an
intimate ard welcome visitor at their house.
T1Ssel says that about q month ago his sas-
piclons were aroused that Laden and his wife
were too intimate, and he determined to firpaly
convince himself OF the fact, and then sue for
divorce. One day while he was at home a letter
game addressed to his wise, and he opened it.
III contained tender pr0testatiOns of love- and
made reference TO the place where che aud
Laden were in the habit of meeting. Tiseell
sosght out Laden, and obtained from him full
confession fully eliminating Mrs. Tissel. He
then procured q warrant from Justice O'Neill
Tor the arrest of La len, and he was LODGED
IN the county Jail on q charge or fornication
When Mrs. Tissell heard of Laden's confession
and arrest yesterday, she Indignantly denied
the statements, and earnestly protested her in
nccence. She had an interview with Llden at
the door OF his cell, and with tears and sobs inn
plored him to tell the truth and clear her repu-
tation. He seemed to hesitate, and acted in
snch a manner as to lead to the suspicion that
the whole thing Is conspiracy between him
ard Tissell to enable the latter to procure a
divorce. When Laden finally refused to retract
the woman became frantic, and, declaring that
she would rather die than live under such an
Infamous imp tatiOn rushed franticslly toward
the canal, and was about to throw herself in
when she was caught and restrained bv a man
named Michael Haley. She was taken, and
some CT her friends watched her to prevent her
DONG herself any harm. The woman seems to
De almost craZed, and the belief that she is the
victim VI conspiracy gains considerable Gre
denCe.

THE NEW GERMAN FLBET.-The Borsenzeit-
mig says that there are now two Alabamas in
the German fieet-the Ariadne and the Louise
and that of the two other vessels of the same
kind which are now being built, the Freya will
be ready next year, while the Thusneida will
will not be completed for some time to come.
These ships are to be employed in cruising in
distant seas, in capturing merchant ships be-
longing to an enemy, and in taking part in
naval engagements, in which they would assist
the heavier ships. For the latter purpose they
are admirably adapted by their great steam
power and their armament of 2l-centimetre
coil GOO p0undeTs), which, being placed in the
center of the ship, may be employed in all
directions while it is proceeding at full speed.
These guns would enable the Ariadne and
Louise to do considerable damage at
long distances even to such iron ads
as the KONG Wilhelm or the English Hercules;
and the guns and steam power of the
Freya and Tbusnelda will be far superior TO
those of the Ariadne and Louise. The heavy
broadside fTigates of the German feet are to
be employed in engaging the emmy at close
quarters and breaking through his lines, while
the turret ships, which are armed with guns of
much heavier calibre, are rather to fire single
shots at the enemy's fleet as 1t comes within
range, or at his naval Notifications. The tur-
rets and engine rooms or these ships are pro-
tected by iron plates from ten to eleven inches
thick, 80 that they may be regarded as invul-
HeTable, even against 400 FOUNDERS The
bansa, on the other hand, which is the only
iron-clad corvette in the feet, as plate of AZ
inches only, so that il could not well be en-
plOyed in attacking coast batteries, and it il
probable that this vessel will be dispatched for
service in the Indian seas.
