HLEs MEKYErEIEs DE LoURDEs" By MGR
DE SEGUR.-Such is the title of o very popular
little book, which has now attained its fifteenth
edition, and has been extensively circulated in
France, chiefly among the thousands fpilgrims
who yearly repair to that blessed spot deSig-
mated the Grotto of Lourdes. The merits of
this little work are it's simplicity and brevity,
emitting unnecessary details, and yet contain
Jag all the essential features of the eighteen
apparitioRs of the Blessed Virgin to Bernadette
Soubirous. After this, it enters into the parti-
culars of several miraculous cures wrought by
the use of the water springing from the grotto
through the intercession of the Immaculate
Mother of God. This work has annexed to it
the approval of the Bishop of Tarbes, in hose
diocese the town of Lourdes is situated.
Monsieur Henri LGsserre has Published a
very voluminOus work on the same subject.
His work was translated into English and sp-
peared not long ago in the columns of that ex-
oellent periodical, the Catholic World But it
is long, not within the reach of every one, and
on this account has been neglected by many q
Catholic reader. To such as have not as yet
made themselves familiar with the origin and
history of the devotion to Our Lady of Lourdes
we now furnish an opportunity for so doing
With the present number of the STAR we COM
menee the publication of q correct translation
of Mgr. de segur's interesting little work. The
whole competition will take up about twelve
or Afteen numbers of our paper. We hope
all the readers of the MORNING STAR will
avail themselves of the opportunity and make
themselves thoroughly conversant with this
history of one of the merciful manifestations
of the Blessed Virgin Mary to Catholic France,
and thus inspire them with an abiding devotion
to Our Lady of Lourdes, under whose special
protection the Archdiocese Of New Orleans WAS
placed, more than year ago, by the Most Rev.
n. J. Perche.

cents.

For the past twelve months the eyes of all
Catholics in this diocese have been riveted,
with hope and fear, upon the Church of st.
John the Baptist with fear lest the sacred
edifce, built with the aims of the poor, should
pass permanently into the hands of nom
Catholics,-with hope that the almost super
human efforts of the newly-appointed Pastor,
Rev. T. ]. Kenny, might result in saving it as
| the Temple of the Most High for the Catholics
of the parish. Great, then, was the relief and
pleasure experienced by all Catholics when it
was officially announced, a few months ago,
that " Father Kenny had saved the church
| and convent" In some mysterious way he got
&37, 900. With this he made first payment on
the church, secured its splendid organ, which
was sold at auction, and paid some very press.
ing claims.
Wonderful combination of zeal and popu-
1arity this, which enabled poor priest to
gather $37 900 in twelve months, without fair
or other grand entertainment Yes, truly
wonderful; but now Father Kenny has re-
! ceived all the assistance of that kind which he
could reasonably expect, and he has to find
other means of raising SIS, 900 for the next
payment on the church and $4,000 interest
When this shall have been paid, he, his friends
and his congregation can rest, for then the
parish will be in a condition which will not
require more than ordinary financial ability
and exertion to meet the obligations of ensuing
years.
As the first step towards raising the above
| mentioned S22 300, the ladies of the parish and
| their friends will hold grand Fair in st
Patrick's Hail. commencing on the Goth inst
From the general interest manifested in the
affairs of St. Johns Church, and the sympathy

Kenny and Footte, there ia every reason to feel
confident that this Fair will be success in
articles have been donated to the tables, pro-
! minent gentlemen have consented to contest
for various articles, and societies have agreed
to test their popularity at the polls.
Father Kenny stated last Sunday to his con-
gregation that if they gave him their hearty
| support and made this Fair success, he would
promise that it would be the last Fair erer held
for that parish as long he remained Pastor.
| With this promise before them, and remember
| ing the obligations they are under of being
foremost in this great work, which is for their
good and for that of their children, the people
of st. Johns will certainly do all that lies in
their power to make this entertainment 90
himself could desire.
| We requested to announce that next
Tuesday, at IL o'clock, there will be meeting
of the ladies interested in the Fair. It will be
held in the old church.

stain his face with the juice of an
herb, to clothe himself in rags, to tie
his legs and neck together, SO as to

the owner Of the horse, who lie knew
