THE OLD MAN.

Bow low tho head, boy; do rev.
ernce to the old man. Once like
you, the vicissitudes of life have
silvered the hair, and changed the
round merry face to the worn WIS.,
age before you. Once that heart
beat with aspirations coequal to
any you have felt; aspirations
crushed by disappointment, as
yours are, perhaps, destined to
be, Once that form stalked
proudly through the gay scenes
Of pleasure, the beau ideal of grace;
now the hand of Time, that with
ers The flower Of yesterday, has
warped that figure and destroyed
that noble carriage. Once, at your
age, he possessed the thousand
thoughts shat pass through your
brain-now wishing to accom-
plish deeds worthy of nook in
fame; anon imagining life Il dream
that the sooner he awoke from the
better. But he has lived the
dream very near through. The
time to awake is very near at hand; !;
yet his eye ever llindles ut old
deeds OF daring, and the hand
takes firmer grasp of the staff.
Bow low the head, boy, as you
would in your old age he rever-
enced.

We are panied TO announce the death of this
estimable gentlemen, which took place in this
city at the residence Of his brother, the Very
Rev. H. Tulnoine, pastor of st. AIMS Church
Unfortunately Father Tumoine was asked at
the time, as he has, indeed, been for several
months, on a visit to Europe. His brother,
now deceased, urged him warmly to make that
visit, at the same time, as we are informed,
intmating a presentiment that they would
never meet again, although he was then appa-
rently in excellent health. Devotedly attached
as they were to each other, the news of his loss
will be most painful blow to his reverend
brother.
Mr. Tumoine was for many years we'll known
in this community as q confidential and most
capable employe in the house of Lapene Il
Ferre AS President of St. AIMS Section of
the Catholic Union and Vice President of the
Conference of the Society of St. Vincent de
Paul for the same parish, he endeared himself
to his Catholic oonfreres by his zeal, piety and
urbAnity. For some months past, Mr.. Tumoine
had been carrying a commercial business on
his own account in Plsquemines parish, but at
the moment when death overlook him under
the fatal grasp of pernicious fever, he was in
the city, at his brother's residence.
The solemn funeral service took place ct st.
AIMS Church and was performed by Very Rev.
A. Marine, CSC, acting pastor of St. Ann's
assisted by Rev. Fathers F. Mittlebronn, of St.
Rose de Lima, and F. FAivre, C.sSR., of st.
AlphonSus' !; also Fathers Hoste, Mignot, Millet,
LeCozio, Chase, Duval, Robinson, Baudard
and Blstterer.
Universally beloved as he was, numbers of
sorrowinR friends assembled to assist in the
funeral obsequies of the deceased and to honor
his memory by this last token of respect. His
remains were inferred in the new St. Louis
Cemetery.

Mr.. Donald Mackenzie. the director of the
Northwest African Expedition, is returning to
England to enter into arrangements for opening
up trade with North Central Africa. 1t appears
that the chiefs have sanctioned his proposal
and that the authorities of the Canary 1Slands
are prepared to give every support to the pro-
ject. The real mouth of the ancient inland sea
has been discovered, and it is said that the de-
pressisn behind the sand bar at she mouth Of
the channel is about 23O feet below the level of
the sea, and that tho bar is about n mile and
half in length by about 300 yards wide, thus
leaving about 300 yards TO be out through in
order to admit the sea into its ancient bed.
The British Vtoe-Consul of LAnEArote accom-
panied the expedition to the mouth of this
channel. and was also present st q meeting OF
chiefs the African coast.

The Parish Convention.
culAtion

To morrow will be an important day, not
only for the scores of candidates whose
names will be pressed before the Convention
for nomination, but for the general interests
of our whole community. 1t is of great
moment that good nominations be made
This of course, is of universal application
at all elections; what we mean is that there
are special additional reasons for it on the
present occasion.
There must be no good ground given for
splitting the ticket. The public is pecu
liarly watchful just now, and clearly bad
nomination for any office would almost in
sure the candidacy of some popular man for
the same Office on an Independent ticket
1t is said, indeed, that the Republicans are
awaiting some such opportunity, either to
run in list of third Candidates or to CO.
alesce with the Democratic Independents
Let, US then, have men of good character;
we do not say Silk stockiDgs or rich men,
but persons of known integrity and capac-
ty, whether rich or poor. Capacity is by
no means all-suficient as q test of fitness
There is not an Office to be filed where the
stern persistence of rugged honesty will not
be in demand. We want Administrators
who cannot be enticed inte jobs We want
sheriffs, and clerks and constables who
will charge according to the fee bill we
want judges who shall not only be accom-
plished lawyers, but whose rulings and de
crees will be always in the interest of
justice, untainted by personal considera
tionS, uninfluenced by either prejudice or
fAvOritism.
A split at this time would be most de
plorable, and might be very disastrous,
and no excuse ought to be afforded we'll in
toned men for making one. Therefore let
us have good men, not men negative in
character or passive in disposition, but
bold, firm aud resolute in demanding and
maintaining what is right.

Peace.

Our readers will find, in another col umn
the eloquent appeal of the President of the
State Central Committee in behalf of 6
peaceful canvass. He implores Louisiana iant
to preserve tho peace at all hazards, uarns
them of the immense Importance of the
outrage" element in this election, and
reminds them of the responsibility devolv-
ing on each individual to avoid rash and
violent issues
This exhortation comes from high au.
thority and means even more than it says
the limited space of a short address, to give
anything like an idea of the extent to which
tho Republican party in the Northern States
is relying on the "bloody shirt" argument.
They have, indeed, no other. 1t is all
'outrage," fresh outrages," "intimida-
tion of Republican votee," "murdered ne
groes," and "shet-guu campaigns" Most
of these thiDgs are pure lies manufactured
to order and set forth in general terms
without names or dates. Sometimes vio-
lent deed is really perpetrated, having no
political significance whatever, but it is
hastily snatched at as a god send for the
outrage orators. Then, again, an unfort1-
nate affair like that of Hamburg takes
place, and, as though on the wings of
electricity, it flies throughout the North,
magni1ed and distorted as it grows, until it
becomes bigger lie than if made out of
whole cloth.
The most hare Drained Hotspur ought to
be able to understand the situation when
he knows these facts. He knows that all
the greatest and ablest men of the Repub-
lisan party are straining every nerve to
work up this one issue of "outrage and in
timidation )" that the Northern vote hangs
uIon popular conviction on this point
that upon the color of that vote depends the
character of our national government for
the next four years, and that every material
interest of the South hangs in the balance
suspended on that beam. Can he then
lightly throw his passionate impulses into
the scale and ruin his country that he may
chastise an ihsOlent act
We have but little fear of any such cat
astroph. We have curious breed Of Hot
spurs at the South. With all the chivalry
of Bayards and all the impetuosity of
Neys, they have shown that they combine
the shrewdness of Yankee canton and CAL
culAtiOn.

The King of Dahomey has stopped the oom-
munioation with Why dab by lagoon and over
land, and all the paths from Whydah to the
interior guarded by Dahomians. A letter
from q European residing at Whydah, which
has reached Grand Popo by detour through
the bush, states that all Europeans in Whydah
Are confined and guarded in their own houses.
No coIhmunication is allowed bet tween them or
with the shore, and all canoes have been re3
moved from the beach. All European property
has been seized. The King has informed the
Europeans that he is preparing for war; and
threatens to massacre them. He had placed
troops all along the road from the coast and
dsfed the blockade, as supplies were reaching
him from other sources.

Few persons not familiar with geography
will believe that the Pacific ocean boundary
OF the United States has a greater extent of
coast line than the Atlantic shore. The agRre-
gate Of our shore line on the Pacific is l2 734
miles, whilst on the Atlantic it is II 800 miles,
and on the Gulf OF Mexico 6543 miles. Califor.
mia contains l1a6 miles Of the coast line on the
Pacific, whilst she has also 272 miles Of island
shore and 24O miles of tide-water river shore.
making altogether 164S miles Of the shore line
Texas has an actual coast line on the gulf of
l2oS miles, whilst Florida hes 114A miles on
the gulf and 1853 miles on the Atlantic, SO that
both exceed California in this particular. It
is the annexation of Alaska that has promoted
the Pacific coast to = higher fgure than the At
lantic' Alaska having 1880 miles Of coast line.
These figures are taken from the coast survey
reports.

Congregation of Sisters Of Christian Charity.
EsTABLtsHMRNT OF KINDKRoARTRN IN rHIs
CITY.

|
| The Sisters Of Christian Charity, who have
charge Of st. Henry's paroohial schools in thia
city, have received an accession to their ranks.
| Last Saturday five Sisters Of the order from tho
provincial mother house located at WilkesbArre,
Penpsylvania, arrived in New Orleans. They
are intended for the parish of Gretna, Rev N.
Halbedl, pastor, whittier they are called to open
| the paroohial school about the 1st of
October.
1t will be remembered that the Congregation
Of the Sisters of Christian Charity, which was
| organized in Germany some twenty seven years
ago. was only lately introduced into this ooun-
try-sbout three years sgo, we think. At the
| time we ohronicled in our columns the advent
of the good Sisters. That.no time has been lost
in building up new homes for them is evident
from the fact that since then twenty-five new
houses of the order have been founded in the
United States alone, some of them being
situated in the most populous cities of the
North, West and South.
Besides. q colony Of the same Sisters have
sought the still further shores OF South America
In tho Republic of Chill, which contains 3
large number of German oolonists, they have,
under the protecting case of the Bishop Of
Anoud, established schools, hospitals and asy-
lums ct Ancud, Puerte Monte and one or two
other places.
Thus God blesses the labors of the Sisters,
and what at first seemed to be fearful
cnlanity-tbe suppression of the Religious
Orders in Germsny-has turned out to be q real
blessing TO the Catholic Church in America for
it is upquestionable that nothing is better cal
culated to promote the interests of religion
and Christian education than the rapid in
Grease and extension of teaching religious Or
ders. For this reason we hail with pleasure
the advent Of these good Sisters and wish them
every success in their mission of self-sacrifoinR
devotedness to the interests OF Christian edu-
cation.
As will be seen by card in our advertising
columns, the Sisters Of St. Henrys parish pro
pose to open on the first Monday OF October, in
connection with the parochial school of said
parish, an infant school the plan of the
we'll known kindergarten, established in most
of the Catholic countries of Europe. Tney will
take children of both sexes of from three to six
years of age. The Sisters will bestoow
mothers care on the little protegees oonfided
to their charge and impart to them all the

that, if this enterprise, which is now to be in
augurated on frat trial. receives the neoes-
sary encouragement, they can make it per-
institution.
The main idea which anderlies this under
taking is. that the first impression which a
child receives ought to be those of Holy Faith,
as no impressions are more lasting than those
made in early childhood. Backed up by sys-
tenn Of good parochia! schools, in which tie
original idea is carried ont to fuller extent,
these infant schools can be made powerful
auxiliary to the cause of Christian educ alton.

Ian and compare it with the campsign speech
Of Wheeler, the republican candidate for vice.
president, he will find it instructive. The let
ler of the soldier shows that he knows the war
is over, that the country needs peaoe to bind
up its hurts and build up once more its indus
tries. The speech of the politician assumes
that the war is still going on, and is for " fr-
ing the northern heart as in 1861. This is al
ways the way. The man who was at his post
in the day of battle knows that the war is
over but the man that got into Congress and
voted for the subsidies thinks it is still going
