NEW ORLEANS, SUNDAY MORNING. OCTOBER g. 1876

The Bishop of Grenoble has published an
eloquent pastoral on the occasion of the Both
anniversary of the Appsrition of Oar Lady of
La Salet:e. in the course of his remarks Mgr
Fava says that although apparitions of the
Blessed Virgin have occurred in every age Of
the Church-the greater number of the fcund-
ers Of Religious Osders having been visibly
and personally encouraged by Her, yet that the
number of such celestial visits has been greater
in the present day than at any other time The
reason, tho Bishop thinks. is that as q mother
is most SOLICITORS about her children at mo
ments when danger threatens, 80 the Blessed
Virgin comes to warn Catholics, who are her
children, against the dangers of the food of
error and of enmity against God that is over
spreading the world. and to protect them
against the prosecutions which the powers of
evil are endeavoring to stir up against the
Church. The Bishop then calls upon Catholics
to remember and practice the admonitons and
given by the Blessed Virgin on La
Sslette.

Never were things quieter in France than
they are at this moment. While tine late AS
semb!y was alive it usually left a standing
committee behind it during the recess and in
this way series of extra parliamentary utter
ances were provided for the people once fort
night. Now the case is different. The Minis
tiers mey go to watering places and climb right
up to tho top of Mont Blanc, if they are so
minded, without any fear of icing stirred up
from their dolce far nicntc by motions or inter-
peilstions in the permanent committee. Marshal
MacMaEon also takes things exceedingly easy,
ord has been paying visits all over the centre
and south Of France. His genial presence has
produced the most beneficial effect everywhere
and speech be has made at Lyons within the
last few days has been particularly we'll re-
ceiYed. In it he says that the present institu-
tions are calculated to promote peace abroad
and prosperity at home, and to give to France
what she has been lacking for five years.
settled governmeBt. 1t is quite certain that so
long as the valiant marshal remains at the
mead OF the State, very little fear need be en-
tertalned of any measures being cerried which
are opposed to the true Catholic and Conserve
tive spirit so congenial to his nature. On the
whole France may be envied for contributing
30 little to the making of history, and the
longer this calm lasts the better it n.ust be for
her.

A pamphlet called the Inter Continental
Tunnel" has been published at Madrid, advo-
eating the connection of Africa and Europe by
tunnel under the Straits of Glbralter. 1t is
suggested that it should start from point be-
tween Tarifa and Algesiras on the Spanish
coast, and come out between Ceuta and Tangier
on the African. The submarine part of the
tunnel would be only nine miles long, but with
an incline of in 100. The tunnels of approach
would be nearly six miles long on each side.
The maximum depth of the sea at this point is
said to be O00ft. and as " ernst" of 3OOft.
is to be left between the bottom of the sea and
the arch of the tunnel, the latter will have to
be 3 30OfS below the level of the sea. The
originators of the scheme of opinion that
the cost will not exceed E4,O0 600 sterling,
and they argue that, with this tunnel and that
between Calais and Dover open, there woSld be
an overland route from London 10 India with

From private letter from Savannah" says
the Pilot, eve notice that most of the Catholic
clergymen have been stricken down with the
fever. One of them, Father Langlois, has
fallen a victim to the scourge. while Fathers
Cafferky and Kelly have recovered. Father
Lechner was still sick on the 18Th Rev c. c.
Prendergast, of Augusta, came to the assistance
OF the Savannah priests, and remained as long
as he could. Bishop Gross, as soon as he heard
of the breaking out of yellow fever in his do
cese, interrupted his journey in Europe, and is
now on his way home. if not already arrived.
The Sisters Hospital is foil Of patients, and the
Sisters themselves are almost worn out with
watching and attending them, though none of
them, SO far, have snccumbed to the fever.
TIE city is one vaat house of death and disease
So many of the inhabitants are either pros
trated by the disease, or gone away, that the
streets are almost deserted. Savannah at all
times is quiet and noiseless city, but now the
silence that reigns in its sanded streets is the
silence of desolation."

The Protestant Episcopalians of New York
the weAlthiest of all the religious denomina-
tions of that city, jealous of the new Catholic
Cathedral which grsces Fifth avenue, are about
to begin the erection of theirs. a correspon-
dent tells rs that the Episcopalians whose in
terests lie up town, have determined to build a
Cathedral that will eclipse in size and style
anything in the United States. They have Sc
lected tract of ground up among the fashion
ables, and propose to raise 81. 600 600 and erect
thereon such Cathedral that will put the
Catholics even to shame and make the Jewish
synagogue look small. 1t will cover an entire
block and will have verything in ecclesiastical
architecture that money can buy.

The Lexington Gazette Of a recent date re-
lates the following csse A lawyer, who was
also farmer, paid q mechanic ten dollars for
repairing reaper. The evening of the same
day Il man came into the lswyer's Office and
wanted deed written, which was quite u Ions
one, and for which he could not walC. He said
he would pay for the deed, and took from his
the morning, the note having been marked in
"a peculiar manner. The lawyer was so much
struck with the fact of the same note coming
back to him, that he was curious to know
where it had been during the day, and put
himself to the trouble to ascertain. He found
that it had passed through seventeen hands,
and paid one hundred and seventy dollars of
debt 10 a single day, aud been returned to its
original holder. This is n true case, and is
vOuched for. 1t illustrates the advantage of
keeping your money at home aud circulating

The Duke of Sutherland, as ia we'll
known, is "a mighty potertate in Scotland,
where he reigns with undlsputed and ben
efcent sway over a vast territory-vast,
that ia, for Scotland. Much Of his domain,
however, is barren and unproductive, and
abont four years ago be projected a scheme
to bring this useless land into a state of
cultivation. He selected 1000 acres of
wild and useless moorland, and undertook
to subdue it by steam power. The land
was 80 swampy and stony that it was i'm
possible to do anything with it by ordinary
appliances, including even the common
steam plough. But ne had constructed a
plough of an extraordinary character, with
which and twelve steam engines ho has
converted his 1000 acres of useless land
into four excellent farms, on which admir-
able crops are DOW growing. Good houses
bave been built, the tie!ds enclosed. aud
the desert has been made to blossom az the
roee-but at the fearful cost OF .G30 an acre,
or $500, 900 for the whole. And stiI peo-
pie complain that rich Aen own the land
in England and Scotland. The fact is that
none but rich men can afford to own it, aud
the Dake OF SntherIend's euccess proves
that with the right rich man in the right
place, their ownership is u blessing and not
4 blight to the country.

An interesting conference is being held
at Brussels. The King of the BeIgans,
who has paid much attention to the disco

capital as his guests the principal geogra-
pliers, of Europe, in order that they may
discuss-nOt, as was at first reported, a site
for Belgian penal settlement-but the
establishment of fixed stations to facilitate
the opening up of the country to commerce
and civilization. England ia there in great
force, Sir Rutherford AIcock, Sir II. Raw

Commander Cameron being among her re-
representatives., and among the celebrated
explorers from other countries, are DR..
Nachtigsl and DR.. Schweinfurth, from Ger

Correnti from Italy, and NJ. de Semenoff

scientific stations and hospices, so that fur
Their expeditions may start from points as
far inland as possible, and that this work
should be carried out under the auspices of
an International Committee.
