The spirit Of the remarks revealed the import
anee attached to this new carrying trade and
commerce which is to be developed, and q dis
position was manifested to reorganiIe and to COM
mence business at once.
A lively discussion sprang up in regard to the
numerous applications Of parties desiring stock
In the company, and the propriety Of selling GER
tain stock represented in the New York Steam
ship Company was touched upon. To avoid "sny
lair chance" various suggestions were made,
when Mr.. John T. Mitchell offered resolution;
which was amended and adopted, as follows:
Resolred, That the committee be, and are
hereby, instructed to notify each of the stock
holders Of the New York Steamship Company

Festivities Of the Church of the Incarnation.

Festivities Of the Church Of the Incarnation.
The Easter festival Of the above church last
evening at willard Hall was perhaps more
largely attended than any event Of the kind in
Washington the present season. At o'clock the
hall was crowded. Many prominent personages
and officials were present, among them Jose
Meguel de PaZ, Mrs. Judge SWayne, Mrs. Ad-
miTRl Powell, Miss Wilkes, daughter OF Admiral
wilkes who also assisted at the tables. Major
Montgomery inaugurated and was most active
In the movement.
Gen. Babcock furnished the flowers, and Mr..
Cammaek, the gardener, kindly arranged them
in tasty bouquets. The Marine band discoursed
the music to which the brilliant assemblage kept
time in graceful promenading, dancing having
been ruled out. The effort in behalf Of the church
was q success in every sense Of the word, and up
to 70 O'Clock the receipts were reported to be $780,
Such movements should be encouraged.
There will be o tWenty-fTe-cent lunch at the
hall to-day between II and O'Clock for the pub
lic and particularly for the Treasury folks, and
no doubt many heightened clerks, who have been
addicted to the habitual and reckless perpetra-
tion of two dollars worth Of destruction daily,
will humble themselves to the plebelan price Of
twenty-five cents.
The lunch Will embrace all the delIcacies of the
season, and the entertainment will be repeated
tonight.

Danger In Public Buildings.

The recent melancholy disaster in Massa
correcting the prevalent architectural errors
on the subject of exits for public buildings.
When a public edifice is erected almost en-
tirely of stone with scarcely anything infiam
mable about it, as is the case generally in
Europe, not much pfecaution is necessary.
In America, however. churches are often
constructed of wood,-pine at that,-and
not as much means of getting out provided,
in proportion to size, as in a private dwell
ing where at most a dozen people would
have occasion to escape hastily.
Means of egress ought to be SO numerous
and commodious as to obviate any possi
bility of panic. If people could be moved
with the precision of q military command,
accidents would be generally avoided, but
humanity becomes terribly exaggerated
and all reason is overcome in the excite
ment of the moment. A rush is made, the
foremost are trampled under foot, the VIC
tors being in turn crushed down upon the
victims by the surging tide which rises
upon the barrier that it has created until
the exit is hopelessly choked up. We have
heard of the horrors of the burning church
in Santiago, Chilli, in the flames of which
two thousand persona perished in this way.
The burning of the Richmond theatre is
also fearful example of the destructive
effects of panic combined with insufficient
means of escape.
Churches ought to have doors opening
outward so that pressure from within would
burst them open, instead Of sealing them
fast. The Windows, too, ought to be 80 low
that every one of them could afford a COZ
venient opening for escape in case of pres
sing need. But particularly the galleries
an nusightly and barbarous appendagc
often seen in this country, ought to con
meet with the ground floor by means 0
very wide steps of easy grade. The narrow
precipitOus flights that We generally se'
are mere traps for human slaughter in case
of panic.

The Procession of the Blessed Sacrament in
st. Patrick's Parish, last Sunday evening, was
one of the largest ever witnessed In this city.
Long before tho appointed hour the church
was crowded with devout wOrShipers, many of
whom had come from distant parishes to give
public testimony of their Faith.
At 4:30 P. NJ the Rev. Thos. Finn assembled
the pulpit and preached an eloquent sermon,
after which the procession was formed in the
following order:
CrcssBearer, Acolytes and Attendants,
Children Of the Schools,
SOdalty B. v. NJ.
Sanctuary Society and Rosary Society,
Ladies' and Gentlemen Of the Parish,
St. Vincent dc Paul Society
Banner OF S.. Patrick,
Young Mons c. T. A. Society,
Little Girls StrewiDg Flowers,
BLEssKD sAcRAAENT,
Borne by Rev. p. F. Allen Pastor, accompanied by
Rev. T Finn and Rev. L. Kennedy. and the
Guard Of Honor,
Consisting of about SIXTY Gentlemen,
In this order the procession, which mum.
bered about 5000 persons, marched slowly uT
Camp to Julia street, down Julia to Magazine
down Msgasine to POydras, up POydras tx
Camp, and thence TO the church. Father Aller
then briefly addressed the congregation, afte
vhssh Benediction Of the Blessed Sacramen
was given.

Archbishop, Bishop Martin, of Natchitoches'
and the Olergymen who accompanied them, ali
arrived at Havre, France, on Tuesday, May
11th, at 4:3O p. NJ, after pleasant trip of ten
days. On Sunday, the 9Th, by the request of
many of the passengers, His Grace preached on
the deck of the steamer. His audience was
both numerous and attentive. On the 18th he
preached in the Church of Notre Dame, HHvre,
to an immense congregation, and on the fol-
lowing Saturday left for Cambria, where, upon
the invitation of Cardinal Reguier, he was to
ofRciate pontifically, on the Feast of Pentecost
The Monday following he intended to accom-
panying the Cardinal to Douai, where large
number of Bishops were to assemble for an in
portant religious ceremony.

The Negro Mission.


A week or two ago we copied letter on
sthis subject from Very Rev. Father Ben"it,
Rector of st. Joseph's Missionary College
in England. The letter was written from
this country to q friend in England, aud,
though little uncharitable towards the
white Catholics Of the United States, will
be readily excused for that, on account OF
the jealous tone it takes in behalf OF the
negroes.
In fact it is the phenomenon par sscesasnss
of the whole XIX. century to see spiritu-
al Empire of Ave millions of souls-weli, We
will not say actually abandoned put
neglected as in the case Of our negro popu-
lation. They would, in numbers, make
quite respectable kingdom, yet who bids
for their spiritual guidance Who LAHORE
with them and for them az the Jealous
mission aries of the Church did and do with
the Chinese, the Japanese, the Indians OF
this Continent, even the negroes of Africa
Where is the Blessed Peter Claver that
seizes their souls by the main force Of an
irresistible compassion and love and binds
them captives at the foot of the Crossf
We may fairly say that the negroes 60
a-begging" as subjects for spiritual zeal.
They are left for the most part to the
manipulations of few carpet bag specu-
Iators in collections" or peaceably per-
mitted to wander back into Voudooism. 1t
is we'll known that a considerable exception
to this state of things exists in New
Orleans, principally in the Creole parishes.
People of the French race have always ex-
bibited less exclusiveness and clannishness
than others. They are noted for the facility
with which they can accommodate them
selves to the peculiarites of other races and
for the genial and native republicanism
with which they recognize man under any
shade of color. In fact, French politeness
is but another name for good sense and
freedom from foolish prejudices.
This was practically evidenced in the
Jubilee demonstrations recently made. The
professions from the Second District, enor-
nous as they were, consisted about equally
of whites and colored people. 1t ia plain
that in that section the latter have not for
fotton their Catholicity. 1t was quite
evident, too, that a very democratic spirit
pervades the two races in their religious
relations. The colored people were. not
only in the procession, but they were
every where in it,-behind, in front of, and
side by side With, white people.
We heartily sympathize in the grand
work contemplated by Father Benoit and
his missionaries. If Christ died for the re-
demption of the negro as we'll and as much
as for that of the white man, his soul is just
as worthy of every effort for it's salvation.
| In the next world there is no distinction OF
color, but rather they who have been most
humiliated in this life will be most tenderly
dealt with by Him who is equally the
| Father of all.

At the several masses in St. Stephens Church

vised by the Rev. Clergy to make the visits
required for gaining the Indulgence of the
Jubilee to the four city churches, viz: the
Cathedral, St. Mary's (Archbishop's). the I'm
maculate Conception and st. Patricks. The
Rev. Fathers stated that by following this ad-
vice the faithful would be certain that, at least
in so far as the visitation of the Jubilee Sta
tions was concerned. they had complied with
the necessary conditions.
