AMERICAN BORN CATHoLIcs.-There il
no greater delusion entertained even
amongst Catholics, who ought to know bet
ter, than that the bulk of the Catholic pop
piation of the United States is Of foreign
birth, especially of Irish birth. Often have
we seen in Protestant papers the insolent
reply to Catholic demands for justice in the
matter of education, that we are 4" foreign
ere" and that if we did not like American
institutions, we should have stayed at
home!
Now, the facts show that the great major
ity of Catholics in the United States are
native born citizens. Take any State: in
Georgia the census shows 5000 of Irish
birth, and 26. 900 Catholics; in Indiana
there are 49, 900 of Irish birth, and $50. 600
Catholic; in the State of Illinois there are
100000 Irishmep, and 100000 Catholics !;
anc II 900 Irisbmen.
Even in New York, where there are $780,.
OOO Irish, the Catholic population amounts
to a miliien and q quarter.
In Pennsylvania there are 235, 900 Irish
men, and sec, 600 Catholics.
In short, there are 1 800, 900 Irishmen in
America and 6,OOO, 600 of Catholics. OF
jority of Catholics are of Irish birth or de.
scent. But if we once begin to enquire who
were the ancestors of American citizens,
we shall soon find that there are no real
Americans except the Indians.
Even these figure do not convey a correct
idea, for We know, to our sorrow, that there
are Irish Protestants not few. .-Catholic
Sentinel, Portland, Oregon.
The Catholic population Of Louisiana is
greatly under-estimated, there being no
less than 400. 900 Catholics, white and black
in the Diocese of New Orleans and Natehi-
toches.

The city itself was attacked on che I9sh of
May, and the ammunition house In its very
centre burned by the Sioux. Along the
roads to the Hills lie the rottipg bodies of
murdered Men. There are come 5000 men
10 the Hills, among whom are probably
fifty that are making $50 per day to 1000
who make 81. A returned miner says that
one party of eight men set their sluice go
ing at noon and worked till sundown, and
their total earnings were fifteen cents.
There were sixty-three men in his party
return, and four were lost coming ont.
None of his party returned with enough to-
pay their expenses. The cities that were
the glory of the Hillson the start are as
dead as though they never existed. The
best claims are along Rapid Creek and
Dead dwood, and these were taken previous
to January. There are only two paying
claims on Rapid Greek. One of these turns
ont about 81 SO each day per man, others,
50 per man. Claims were sold in Dead
wood previous to January for 81, 500.

WHo REscURED THE FENIANs.
IN. Y. World.I

The Boston Herald is authority for the
statement that the recent reBcue Of Fenian
convicts from the wost coast of Australia
was the result of q wel-Planed and care
fully executed scheme for which John
Boyle O'Reilly, editor Of the Boston Pilot,
furnished the brains and discretion, and the
Heretofore too many of the Fenians have
cOntented themselves with imagining des-
peFate feats and discoursing about them, 30
that ehereis natural skepticism in tho pub
hCmind touching the possibility ef their
having known anything about plan for a
rescue and held their tongues long enough
. to permit the happ contamination of the
adventure. But there is Q certain fitness
Iin thosrUmOred connection of John Boyle
OReilly with the liberation Of the Fenian
conviets, and we trust that their freedom
may really be due to the sympathy aud en-.

In the Issue of the Baltimore Methodist Pro.
teStant, for juno Sd, appears an editorial on
"AriBtooratio tendencies of the Church."
wherein the writer says: 1T has often been .
question in our mind to decide what is the
position of the poor in the Protestant churches
of to-day. 'The poor ye have always with
you' has ceased to be fact with many of
them, for the process called improving the
character of the congregation has gradually
eliminated them. Their wealth does
not increase, they gradually feel tkemSeEUes SR-
