AUSTRALASIA AFFAIRS.

20 preside at the ceremony Of making this new

newly made deacon read a short chapter from the
Bible, and then followed with most eloquent
prayer to God on high for strength t. fill the

they should be so accounted for as to be bene-

exceptions, kindly words Of good advice were
given 70 Mr.. Morris, and he received them in a
quiet and sober manner that left DO doubt in the
mind OF the beholder that he had entered upon
his ngh mission with a firm faith In Christ and
strong determination to do His holy will.

church was laid with appropriate ceremonies In

Forty-secOad street and Fourth avenue. The
Bishop, Right Rev. John Loughin, officiated, as.
sisted by several clergymen Of the diocese. The
Irish temperance ana church societies paraded,
and very large concourse OF persons was in at
tendance. brief sermon was delivered by the
BlsRop, and q generous contribution was made by
the people.
The parish, which has been established about a
year and q hall, extends from Thirtietn street to
Fittieth street, and though at present but
sparsely settled. 1t is rapidly growing IN popula-
ton. Rev. Michael Hickey, the first pastor APP
pointed by the Bishop TO the parish, collected the
funds which purchases the ground, and upon his
transfer to another field OF labor, a few month
ago, Rev. d. O'Connell, a distinguished priest
from the South was appointed his successor and

THE FIREMEN'S PAY.

give way TO what the 1remen consider their
foolish whims. Within one week two months
pay will be cue the force, each OF tae prlvates
being entitled to $780, II can thus be readily seen
that the men must be more or less embarrassed
by falling behind two months in their financial

THE BEECHER CASE IN EUROPE.

From the American Register (Parls), July 1O1
Mr. Beecher Is man WHO differs greatly rom
his fellows; he has DO exact compeer; he is SUI
generfs and, oil things considered we are not
sorry that this is the case. Such sentimentailsn
stance OF life may be overlooked in the case OF
one man or evident ability. but many men OF the
same type, or society constructed upon a SINH
lar sentimentalism would be not only dangerous,
but intolerable. 1t is patent to all that Mr.
Beecher differs greatly from other men, and that
he cannot be judged by the ordinary stan
dard. HIS proaigalIty in the matter OF
tears, Kisses and embraces, with men as
lions OF grief for trl1ng or fancleo injuries done
to friend would be supremacy Ridiculous In any
otner MANN him they have long been the occa-
sion oil the severest criticism. But we must ogi-
cally give Mr.. Beecher the benefits TO be derived
IRON mis- well known characteristics when we
come TO Judge him upon charges OF such gravity
as those preferred by Theodore Tlton In view OF
these facts IL IL possible that his reatiLns WIN
platonlc, ana IN justice we are bound 90 &C
cord bin all the benefits to be drawn from
the doubt until we have some more positive
evidence than that developed at this trial. Titon's
case was weak per Sc his strongest testimony
being found In the letters OF the defendant; but,
as has been already observed neither Mr.. Beecher
nor his letters can be judged by the ordinary
standard OF humanity The divided verdict shows
that the jury could not find In vew OF the well
known pecularltles OF The writer, any direct evil
dence OF quit 10 those letters. SO far as the
pubic y concerned opinions will still be divided
each individual VIII put his own estimate upon
the value OF the evidence-but every logical
mind Will agree that when we come TO discuss
the case in serious manner we cannot 20 be-
evidence strong enough TO warrant verdict for
the plaintin.

ST. PATRICK's CATHEDRAL.

At St Patrlck's Cathedral yesterday morning
the nigh mass was celebrated by the Rev. Father
Kearney. After the first gospel the Rev. Father
McCabe, one Of the recently ordained priests,
preached short sermon on the gospel OF the day,
he exhorted the congregation TO practise the
virtue of humility without which It would be diG-
ncult TO afvaHce in perfection. 1t was pride that
caused TIE angels TO iall, aud the same sin was
terrible weight upon man, for In 1t was concen-
trated the seed from which, almost OF necessity,
many other grievous faults must spring
Our first parents, Adam ana Eve, fell
on account Of pride. They had every
thing that could be desired to delight
them In tae garien OF Eden, but the serpent
whispered that there was one thing more ana
instead OF humbly Obeying Gods command not 10
eat OF the Forbidden fruit they yielded to the
temptation and incurred the wrath OF God. 1t
was evident rom these punisnments which Goo
inflicted how grievous was the SIN OF pride. and in
proportion TO the malice OF that sin was the
beauty OF the virtue OF HUMILITY IN the sight OF the
Almighty. From this virtue would imperceptibly
come TO the ssul many other virtues and blessings.
In CONCLUSION, the preacher encouraged The audi
ence to pray TO the blessed Virgin for ner inter-
cession in every effort TO become humble In
spirit.
