AmuSenentS.

1t is a great mistake to suppose that en-
tertainments gotten up for charitable ends
will therefore have but little merit of their
own. Very often they are just as delightful
as those of a strictly professional kind,
managed with all the energy and tact which
men devote to the regular business of their
lives. An instance in point is the enter
tainment given by the Original Crescent
City Serenad at the St. Charles Theatre,
on the lat inst, for the benefit of the Boys'
Home of St. Vincent de Paul. 1t was really
excellent, and, though many went with but
faint expectation of being amused, and in
tending . charity much more than their
own qualification, they conld not but &C
knowledge, before being there long, that
they were getting the worth of their
| money.
In all countries but America public
amusements are considered of great i'm
portance. They are in many places rated
as second only to food itself. With US the
race for wealth is so eager that all pleasure
is conferred in the absorbing interest of &C.
cumulating. How to get rich is the de-
lightful problem over which men labor all
day and dream all night. They have
hardly time to eat, certainly no time to
digest. AS to actually making provision
for amusements, taking them into theiI
calculations as an important item and
scrupulously setting apart certain amount
of time and money for their enjoyment, the
thought would be secuted. In America tue
idea of happiness is money; in older and
} wiser countries the idea of worldly happi
ness is amusement, labor and money beinl
J only necessary preliminaries to it's beinl
, obtained.
Thus much being said, we can Onl.
r await the day when experience will teacI
, our people that they ought to make the rea
f sonable amusement of their families a mat
-. ter of serious reflection. In nothing, how
t ever, is more discrimination necessary, 70

The Belgian Question.

Since the publication of the German note to
Belgium, calling for Legislation restricting the
liberty of Catholics and Catholic prelstes-
new Germanic Empire,-the tone of the Eng !
lish press has undergone very decided chaDgs
with reference to Germany. Not that English
editors care q straw for the rights of Catholics
for they highly approve of the disciplinina
Papists have received in Prussia-but thai
Bismarcks impudent demands give indubitablf
evidence of his desire and intention to AIMED
Belgium to the Empire of his master, and Bell
GUMS independence is necessary for thf
safety of England. The Pail Mall Gasette ri
Gently had an article which showed o perfssI
grasp of the situation:
"Those politicians" it argued, who inss

to keep it's hand in against the time when y

"The true account of the matter
probably this. The German Government hii
of late shown an eager desire to get the roP!
regarded as the common enemy of civilI.i
States, and it irritates IL to see the Popes so1

A correspondence of this kind

This is quite true, and Prince Bismarck th1
kills two birds with one stone. He warns
foreigners from the arena of his persecut'
and he provides himself at the same time vii
bone to pick with Belgium. The Lond'

against the new International obligat0

If the Gassstta dItaIiG is to be credited . new
form of attack menaoes the Catholic Church.
That journal remarks that the question be-
tween the Church and the State has entered n
new phrase, and therefore, design is on foOt
TO assemble an international Congress to de-
termine on @ fixed mode of regulating interna-
tional legislation concerning the relations be-
tween the Pope and Catholic or non.CatholiC
States. The aim of such Congress would OF
course be to reduce the Pope to be simply
Bishop of Rome, to prevent the Bishops
throughout the world from hearing the Pope't
voice OF obeying his injunotions, to make POa
tifcal cots depend for validity upon civil
uanction, and thus to destroy Catholicism tc
please the despot of Berlin.
