CONFESSIONS IN ENGLAND.

"Pietro," London correspondent of the N. Y.
Catholic Rerieto, under date of July 90, writes ::
l hear from every quarter of the country the
most corsoling and encouraging reports con-
corning the growth OF the Church. Every
where, in England and Scotland, her children
are zealous self-sacrifcing and faithful every
here conversions are Numerous everywh here
new churches, religious houses and schools are
being built. The number of conversions is very
large: one hears of but few of them; 1t is only
vixen a nobleman or distinguished clergyman
abaudons the church of his fathers for that of
his grandfathers that the journals mention the
fact. The great balk Of the conversions are
those of the - common people," and thank
God for it. The zeal Of many of these is most
exemplary: they put to shame often the tran
| quill and eaey-going Catholics who never have
known by practical, personal and bitter expe-
| rience, tho emptiness and wretchedress oil
Professionalism OF rfidelity.
| OF course the Church does not make this pro-
! gress in England without exciting the anger o:
| ner foes and the assaults upon her, although
| i'm potent are ceaseless Some of them are of a
| ludicrous character. The other day, If you can
believe it, deputation of Nonconformists aud
| secularists-tbese worthless generally go to.
! gether-waited upon the Lord President of The
| Council the Duke of Richmond, to complain OF
| the Catholic schools In these institutions
they averred, Catholic ideas upon various sub
| jscts were aTtfully interviewer with secular in
| struction. For instance, the text books in his
| tory actually represent the events attending
| the Reformation from Catholic point of view
| and the occurrences which have lately hap
| pened in Italy wera treated in the same man
ner. These schools received their share of th'
| public education fund, and thus the State wa
actually paying for the propagation OF Popery
1 wonder that the Dnke of Richmond did no
laugh in the faces of these good people but b
dismissed them politely, aud We shall probebl.
| hear no more of this Particular grievance. Bu
| the incident is sufficient to show what woult
become of our children if we did not ourselve
look after their education.

FATHER RoUoUETrE.-We invite the atten-
ton of our readers to the article in another
column signed {" A Correspondent" giving an
account of the destruction of Father Rou-
Guette's retreat on Bayou LEcombe, Parish of ST.
Tammany, by lawless persons of the Dei2hbo Or
hood. There was at the spot referred to- small
settlement composed chiefly Of Indians whose
spiritual aud temporal wants were admins
tered to by the Rev Father. It was during his
absence that the grand old trees-cberished
objects to the reverend Poet-were felled to the
ground and the secluded spot bereft of its
natural garb. Great must have been his
grief upon his return to witness the work
that had been done despite the reuon-
strances of his faithful Indian people. The
destruction was continued without cessation
until the forest was entirely cleared. Father
Rouquette has also met with another loss. His
humble residence, or "cell," as he loves to cal
it, which adjoins the little frame building uset
by his flock az q church, was so poorly pro
tected from the elements that duriDgre q cen
severe storm, the rain came in in such torrent
as to inundate the place, running his few arti
cles Of furniture aud completely destroying
some of the most valuable and rarest of hi
books. We hope that our readers will not lie
this occasion pass without giving substantiS
proof of their sympathy to the noble India
miss!onary-the Father De Smet of Louisian
one New Orleans may we'll be proud to clail
as one of the few of her sons who has becon
famous by his great learning and talent.

The School Amendment.

The scheme known as the Blaine Amend
mcnt, prohibiting sectarian uses Of school
funds, was intended as Democratic ex~
tipguisher. 1t was cunningly devised as a
share for that party, presenting q choice
between Scylla and Charibdis. If, on the
one band, the Democrats should favnr the
schome, they would, according to the an
ticipatioEs Of the conspirators, excite the
intense disgust of al Catholics If, OK the
other hand, they should oppose it, then a
furor would be aroused against their party
as having cold out to the Catholics. Like
all schemes against the Church, it WAS based
on ignorance of tho true Catholic status,
aud Consequently was destined, sooner OF
| later to failure. In this case the ignorance
wac SO gross, palpable and inexcusablo that
the failure was ce.eval with the Inception,
AID tie scheme fell otill-Dorn in its an
uounceInent.
The false and stupid assumption Of
3 .aine AID the other bigots was that Cath
o!cs desire dividing up OF the school fund
among sects. To their surprise not Cath
Ollie member of either House OF Congress
made the slightest opposition to their move
| menP. AuA lIlS was nHbuESt.
Tho real common sense as we'll as Catholic
view of this question is that PARENTS have
right to select the school which their
children shall attend and that the State has
no right to dictate the school moreover,
that a school tax ia a virtual dictation OF
the school to which the children must so,
unless the pre- rata of each child is to be
paid for him at such institution as his pa
rents may select.
As temporary substitute to that plan,
Catholics have sometimes acquiesced in the
partition of school funds on the basis Of
sectarian strength, but it is clear that such
an arrangement, as a permanent one
3 would be losing business for them. Il
would result in immense frauds on the par
of interruptions sects, which would no
hesitate to swell their lists by free pro
! cess of multiplication, until a condition
should be established pretty similar to tina
a of the recent spportionment of the Indians
N where the Indians were nearly all Catholic
10 and the apPortionment was nearly all Pro
testaDt. If the system of sectarian partition

ST. CHARLES COLLEGE, GRAND CoTEAU On
the fifth page of to-day's MORNING STAR We
publish the card of this fine institution. Stua'
ted in the garden spot Of America, the Teche
country, it offers unsurpassed advantages to
such youths as cannot stand the severe cold of

ious Importance, to our people especially, is the
fact that its charges are remarkably low, $3.50
covering all demands for board, tuition, wash

control of the Jesuit Fathers and has received
from the Legislature the privilege Of confer

| of school funds were once established by
law, 1t would soon take very different
development in practice from anything we
have yet seen. The sooner, therefore, it is
is distinctly prohibited, the better for Ca
tholics.
There remains to US, however, the in
alienable right of parents to select schools
and teachers for their children, together
with all the consequences that attach to
that right.

How DID He KNOW 7-Y esterday fore
noon several pereons grouped together in
front of a Wholesale house or Jefferson ave-
nue. wondered how much barrel of sugar
weighed. One stood before them, but
without marks to tell its weight, and it was
proposed that each one should guess and
the poorest guesser should pay for the
cigars. Along came an old man, and when
he saw what was up he wanted to be coun-
ted in.
"Ill make my fggers and bet two dol
lars on them, he announced, and then add
ed that he would bet on tifty-fve pounds.
All knew that the barrel weighed nearer
two huadred, but the old man was so fierce
TO bet on fifty five that the money was put
up. When the barrel was weighed he found
himself over q hundred pounds short, and
great wac his amazement.
"Wall, now. l was never so deceived in
my life," he growled as his money changed
| hands.
"You ought to have known better than
to have bet on fifty-fve pounds" replied
| one of the men.
"Why sol How should 1 have known
better 7" exclaimed the stranger. :" Did l
ever go around lifting barrels of sugar Z
Did ever study 'rithmetic over FIVE min
utes in all my lief Did ever bet on fifty
Ave pounds beforef"
And he never will sgain.

FLAX MANUFACTURE IN AMEKICA.-Tho com
meucement of a new manufacturing industry
in this country is exewPlifed in the successful
establishment Of a small1inen factory at Man
chester, N. II. Some enterprising parties 80
cured some land, sowed it to fax, gathered the
crop. and prepared it for spinning, hired a
Scotch flax fnisher, procured spinning ma
chinery, and one loom, and worked up the fax
carefully and slowly until by easy steps the
business thoroughly understood and mas
tered. The amount of money rsked was small,
and in case of failure the loss would have been
trifing. But it is precisely such ventures as
this and SO conducted, that succeed, and this
experiment has become success. A linen
mandatory is about to be put into operation,
with a certainty of it's being practicable and
profitable. 1t was in this way that cotton
manufacture began in some parts of the South
ern States, where it is now q grand success.
Wooden manufacture began similarly in the
West, where it is now firmly established and
we are we'll convinced that it needs only to be
begun in this careful manner for fax manufao-
ture to become also established business

The Assumption.

Ths Bible says nothing of the death o
the Blessed Virgin, but tradition informs III
that the Holy Mother of God, after passing
through the portals of death like her divine
son, like him, too, arose from the dead and
was taken triumphantly mp to Heaven &C.
companied by angelic hosts. Certain it lie
that while Christian communities have al
ways most zealously and faithfully retained
| relics of the Saints who died in their midst,
| no personal relic of Mary has ever been
claimed to exist from the earliest ages Of
the Church to this.
All men must die. The Man God made
no exception Of himself to this rule. and
Mary would not travel any road along
which the vestages of his footsteps could
not be found. And 30 she died but the
Angels and the Archangel came, and,
while the air was filled with an exquisite
music from Invisible harps, they bore her
pure and spotess body up to the throne
prepared for her next to the great throne.
1t was on the 18th of August that took
place the solemn and marvellous event
which the loving children of Mary will de-
light to celebrate every recurring year 80
long as time shall last.
A mother looks often at the picture of her
child, the wife at that of her husband.
They who truly love Mary will look often
at her picture, and, if they do so, they will
be amply repaid. 1t is not of her picture
but of her picture that should glow in
living colors within the heart of every
mortal. She was the fairest flower of our
race, the great exemplar of human perfec-
ton. Never before was seen and never
again will BIO seen a woman SO beautiful
and so modest, 80 wise and SO humble, so
exalted and SO meek, so honored and SO
hidden. Her heart was the very home of
love, a love which embraced the whole lu-
man race. Her tenderness went forth to
every one without exception, and during
her entire life not one unkindly thought or
feeling even dimmed- that ardent flame Of
affection which enveloped her whole heart.
If, then, a true portrait of this meek and
peerless Virgin were enshrined in the inner
heart and if the eyes of affection often
turned upon it with fonaness, gradually the
soul thus occupied would grow into din
likeness of that which it 30 much loved and
studied. The sun, through the lenses of
the photographers camera, can print an
image with shade and outline, bat devoid
of color and life. T be light of celestial
virtue imprints on tie heart open to its in
fuence the living likeness of the object
which itillumines. For those who often con-
template the picture Of Msry's loneliness
there will gradually come transformation
of thc soul. 1t will shape itself into meek
ness and simplicity, into tenderness and
love, into 8 yearniug to be poor and IN
known.
The Assumption being the day when
Mary went away from among Us, what bet
ter day can be found to implore that she
leave us her likeness.
