I'VE notice. says the Philadelphia Record
=" that it is proposed to give course of leo.
lures in B.ston on Catholic subjects We
have often thought that such project would
be crowned with success. 1t is true thst there
are number of lectures delivered every sea-
son before Catholic societies. or in aid Of oh urch
building funds. But these are nearly always
on the same topics, year after year, and, if
not, they are disconnected the one from the
from the other. What is wanted is q regular
course OF lectures by men we'll posted on the
subjects they treat Of Such course might
be on the history of the Church, or on the rela-
tions of religion and science, or on the to pics
of the day viewed from Catholic standpoint
or they might be biographical, taking up the
lives of distinguished men and saints. Or
they might be explanatory of the doctrine
discipline and ceremonies of the Church, or
they might take up the subject of Christian
art and antiquities, or they might treat of
social evils and their remedies, such as intern
peranoe, overcrowding of cities, luxury, ma
terialism, etc. Such lectures would be inter-
esting and instructive The first thing to be
avoided in them is-it seems a small matter
their being dry, that bugbear of American
listeners.

| To the Editor OF the Morning Star:
| SS-l was pleased to see in your last paper q
communication urging young collegians tc
continue their course of self. improvement after

elevated class of Catholic periodical literature
wherein they can thoroughly post Themselves

"hlie agreeing heartily with this good ad.
vice, beg to offer q collateral suggestion
which will, think, facilitate the carrying out
OF the original proposition. It is simply that
tne young gentlemen in question should devote
little of their time every week-or every day
II tney be disposed-to writing out for the
public whatever striking thoughts that may
result from either their daily studies, reading
or external observation of what is transpiring
in the world.
This exercise of writing they will find bene-
hclaI In many ways. 1t will increase their in
Sellgence by fixing in their memories the facts
ana Ideas Winch they commit to paper. It will
extend their knowledge of language and On
large their capacity of using it with force and
elegance 1t will enable them, on occasion, to
boldly combat, and (if properly instrrcted) to
successfully refute the erroneous doctrines that
are daily appearing in society.
Be not afraid, then, young gentlemen, to
utter your fresh thoughts before the world
Some of the best writings extant/ have come

Editor Morning Star:
Ancient as we'll as modern orthodox Jews,
(wbo still hold fast to the practices and trsdi
tions of their forefathers, inroke saints and be-
lieve that, though in limbo, their intercessions
are powerful with God. If any of the ortho-
dox Jewish communities of Austrian and Bus
sian Poland, of Turkey and the East, are struck
by the hand of God, and severe general calsni-
ties befall them, the whole male portion of the
community, fasting and in mourning, willrepair
to the graves of such as died among them in
the repute of great sanctity, and ask there
their intercession with God, that the affection
and distress may cease. Also see the second
book of Machabees, chapter fifteenth, and
read, com menoing with verse twelve to seVsu-
tenth, that Onias and Jeremias, not yet re-
deemed from limbo, intercede with God for the
Jews. God saves them from their enemies
moved by this intercession thereto.
Respectfully, A CONVERTED JEW
The verses referred to by our correspondent
are as follows:
10 Now the vision (seen by Judas and which
so encouraged the Jews that they gained
glorious victory was in this manner: OolSi

man, modest in his looks, gentle in his msnnen'
and graceful in his speech, and exercised non

DIOCESE OF NATCHEz-Propdgatio of the
Fditk.-The collections for 1875 reached Paris
too late to be inserted in the report of that
year, They will appear in the next report.
They amounted to 1093fr. 500. 1t is hoped
the returns from the congregations will
be made very promptly this year, go that the
amount may be reported in good time. In some
copies of the annals of last May, the Diocese OF
Nstchez is given-but probably it is mis- take

We again call attention to the fact, as pub.

that the Fathers managing the Holy Cross Col

more brothers further reduction will be
made. The College is situated in the most
beautiful and healthy section of the Union, the
celebrated Teche country, and Is within four

Quoted an Academy at the corner of Dryades

Establishment the Academy took a first place
among the best educational institutions in this
city, and every year it has sent forth into the
world large number of young ladies thor
Oughly trained, morally and intellectually, for
the great battle of life. Many of the graduates
of past years are now mothers of girls old
enough to go to school, and they should not
forget that their most urgent duty is to secure
the same inestimable training for their children
that they themselves enjoyed. Glasses at St.
Mary's will be resumed on the fret Monday of
next month, as will be seen by q card in another
eolumn.

Sddlier's Ercelsior" Series of Readers. BIZ a
Catholic Teacher. New York: Vim. H. Sadiler,
From the publisher We have received copies
of the first four books of this admirable series.
The method, as indicated in the opening in.
structions to teachers, seems orderly, sensible
and calculated to produce the best possible re.
suits to the pupils The simple and natural
preparedness of the lessons is q positive treat
as compared with some of the old time ssriea
whose advance from book to book instead Of
being by steps is rather by acrobatic bounds
that generally have the effect to throw back,
battle and discourage the young aspirant.
From cursory examination, We take the
reading matter to be unexceptionable as, being
arranged by a Catholic teacher, 1t certainly
should be.
The paper is white and strong, the type large
and clear, the illustrations generally neat and
appropriate to the text, and the binding quite
though not so liable to defacemsat
as the brighter styles.
Taken for all in all, this new series of Catholic
readers promises to become a formidable com.
petitor in the now well-flled field of Catholic
educational works, and we warmly greet is
entry into the arena, where we hope " the best
may win," with the supplemental hope that
. each may prove itself the best"
