TEE PILGRIMAGE.
The gentlemen on the Pilgrimage Committee
who have been most active in smoothing the
sssaaop, we think, to congratulate themselves.
The project has reached that point at which
its success is assured, for all that the Commit
Iines Of trans Atlantic steamers have all been
4xeceived, and the number of pilgrims regularly
s0bed il already sufficient for tho Committee
Ia charge to contract for o portion OF the pas
sanger room on n first class steamer. Their
cenolusive action as to the steamer, will be
tHk<en in o day or two, when circular will be
dispatched to each of the pilgrims who are
booked. The date OF starting IL definitely liked
Gor May 16.
A good many misconceptions have arisen
from confounding what has been said, or i'm
assions 81 the Committee itself. By bearing
tkis in mind, and examining closely the circu.
Azrs of the Committee, various objections that
have been mentioned to us win disappear;
We are rejoioed to find so many of the Cath
oiie Hierarchy, of various degrees, enrolled.
This will insure its strictly religious character;

WHAT NEW YORK GERMANS ARE DOING.
Speaking of the devotion of the Catholics Of
America to tho Holy See, suggests two items
of news worth recording, says the Catholic Re
osesC. The Teutonio children of st. Bonifaoe-
himself the spiritual child of st. Patrick
quite rs well as the Irish sons of st. Patrick
aaite in holding and expressing this strong
aEeetion which we all owe the Pope. A Ger
aaan reader informs us that:
In tho Last meeting of the delegation of tho
: German Roman Catholic Union Of New York,
q resolution was made and unanimously adopt
cd, that lecture should be given in aid of our
Gehrader. The German Catholic Union of New
York was organized in November last, comb.
s,ing, at present, thirty-four societies of the
ala fsshsr the 'pS
tleplorable state Of affairs, ID one of the 6nion's
Rr[ncipal objects. This lecture 10 its first un-
destaking, and according to the nunber Of
Sss realized. The interests of emigration and
the school question are also objects of interest
TO this Union.

bcad, are careless and negligent ones, who
asldop attend Mass, and scarcely ever approach
the Sacraments. and whom nothing but the
strong grace and attractive power of Mission
can bring to q sense of religious duty. Many
