Description of the New Asylum.

| City last Sunday. For months we had had rains
followed by the scorching heat of Southern
| summer, till the climax was reached in the
| hurricanes which, a fortnight ago, spread ruin
and death the coast of Texas, giving us
| though out of the line of their devastating
march, idea of their terrific power. But
Sunday, all was peace. From the clear, blue
sky above, the sun shone in benignant warmth
upon earth robed in richest hues of early
Indian summer, temperin q the bracing air and
| quickening into active life the slumberine
energies of man; happy augury for the sue
cess of an enterprise which puts finishing
touch to the magnificent works of the Re
demptorist Fathers in this city.
| A few minutes before o'clock the societies
attached to the three Redemptorst churches
! fell into line Constance and Josephine
| streets; the procession being formed under the
| intelligent direction of Mr.. 7. Brophy, Grand
Marshal, without the delay and confusion
usual on such occasions. 1t was organized in
the following manner:

Following the Children of Mary were the
girls of the senior division of the schools, and
behind these several societies of ladies, promi-
nent among which was the Sanctuary Society,
of which Mrs. N. Williamson is President.
The procession presented a most beautiful
appearance as it moved along the streets. with
innumerable banners and flags fiutteripp in
the breeze, and bands of music playinp suob
appropriate and stirriug airs as New Orleans
brass-bands alone are famed for. The side
walks along the route, the gardens and galIe-
rles of the residences were lined with specta-
tors who had come to testify their sympathy
IN the work of providing a home for orphans
and to crafty their curiosity by seeing the pro-
cession.
The same order and punctuality which had
marked the organization and movements of
the procession, were observable at its massine
ABOUT the platform which had been erected
