EFFORTS ON BEHALF OF WORKING MEN.
France is, after all, country where q
large amount of practical religion and
charity is to be found. Every day brings
forth some new evidence of this. The pill
grimsges have as your readers are aware,
been going on without intermisaion ever
since the spring. They form of them
selves one great proof of the deep piety of
my countrymen. Another may be seen in
the congresses of benevolent societies that
are now taking place. This very day q
congress commences at Poltiers. Its OBJ
iect is to inquire what can be done to bet
ter the condition of working men (o1vTiers)
and their families. It is to be presided
over by the distinguished Bishop Of that
see, Mgr. Pie. have already acquainted
you with the fact that o great number of
working mems cercles have been formed
during the laat four years; the Poitters
Congress will consist mainly of the direc-
tore of those ceysles, who will meet in order
to concert plans, and discuss new projects
for various efforts to preserve the working
Glasses from the inroads1 of the Radical
propaganda. The directors of ceTclss ex-
pected to attend the Congress at Poitiera
| will be chiefly from places south Of the
Loire but on the 23rd inst. another con-
Rress will assemble at Rheime, which will

congress will meet under the presidency Of
