Return of the Archbishop

After an absence of some eighteen
months, our venerable Archbishop. the
Most Rev. N. j. Perche, reached home last
Wednesday night by the Mobile train.
Late as was the hour, quite concourse OF
Catholic laymen had assembled at the
depot, foot of Canal Street, to concur with
numbers of the clergy in welcoming our
beloved Prelate back from his long and IA
tiguiug travels. Carriages were in waiting
to convey him and his retinae to the Arch
iepiscopal residence, and there number OF
other gentlemen had assembled to join in
the CONCENTRATIONS of the occasions.
We are happy to say that His Grace is
evidently in most robust health, uotwith-
standing the fatigues of railroad travelling,
and bears upon his features and person the
evidence of strength for years of usefulness
to come. The spontaneous outburst OF
welcome which greeted his return was evil
IDENTIFY gratifying to the good Archbishop,
showing, as it did, that time had not wea
kened the affections of his flock. Indeed,
considering that His Grace does not come
back much richer in worldly goods than
when he went away, 80 warm greeting
must have been doubly consoling in che
proof of personal affection that it gave. 1t
was himself that was welcome and not his
purse. 1t was testimonial, not bought
with money, that in himself and for himself
| he was dear to his children.
We in common with all Catholics hope
that, before long, temporal prosperity will
return to our people in such measure that
without foreign assistance they will be able
to lift the Archdiocese out of all hnancia
embarrassment, but whether such be The
case or not, we hope that His Grace viii
continue to face misfortune with his accus
toned courage and not permit the" hare
times to add limo of caro- to his features
or lessen the strength and lightness of hi'
step.

WHAT GEN. HAYES SAYs.-A New York
Herald special from Cincinnati on the 18th
says:
Gov. Hayes, in conversation with one of tie
local Republican Leaders, said: have ex-
amined the situation carefully and thoroughly,
and besides have solicited and obtained the
opinion of the best constitutional lawyers of
the country, and am now satisfied that have
honestly been elected President of the United
States, and am entitled to the Office, and fully
expect to be inaugusSted as such." The Gov
ernor in particularly careful to avoid express
correspondents but this remark was made to o
gentleman who vouohes for it's truth.
On the 14th, responding to q serenade, Gov.
Hayes said:
have too much faith in the common sense
of the American people to think that they de-
sire to see in their country q Mexicanized Gov
ernment. Whatever may be the result at which
the lawful authorities shall arrive, YOU and
will quietly submit, and have sufficient re.
spect and confidence in the great msjority of
the opposition party to believe that they will
do the same.

OLD Folks CONCERT IN ST. PETERS SCHOOL.
Az o'clock this evening q regular old-fash-
toned concert will be given in st. Peters
School, Marign1 street, for the benefit of the
poor visited by the parochial Conference of the
st. Vincent de Paul Society. In these times
of great business depression when even these
who formerly were well do find it hard to
get along, we should not forget the terrible
trials of the poor, many of whom, in addition
to long endured sufferings from want of pro-
per food now have to bear the bitter cold of
winter without warm bed clothing or fire..
Let everyone who can spare the small sum
asked on this occasion, Twenty-Five cents, go to
the concert, thereby uniting pleasure and
charity.

When Greek Meets Greek.

Would that be the character of the con-
fict, in case of the civil war now so COM
monty discussed as possibly impending
over these States. As to the probability OF
such an event we express no opinion what
ever where every first man we meet tells
us that it will be utterly impossible to get
rid of Grant without war, and every second
man says that not q gun will be fred, sir.
alphabetically and pruden TALLY, as it were,
we merely ask what would be the relative
strength of parties if some one should fire
gun.
1t is safe to say that Democrats, both
North and South, feel very little uneasiness
as to the eventual result. They may not
have the bone and sinew and the ply ysical
courage of the country pretty much alto
gether on their side, but they are so sure
that they have that it is of no use to dis
cuss that point with them. In fact, we do
not care to discuss it with them either, be-
cause we are of the same opinion. The Re.
publican party has pretty much passed into
the hands of big bugs and thieves.
There are undoubtedly, at the North,
many respectable gentlemen in that party
such as bond holders, Cwho know which
side of their bread is buttered) college
professors, (who have studied every thing
but poIitica) very ancient gentlemen,
(who used to be Wings and consider them
selves still bound in honor to side against
the Democrats) and very religious men
(who find that godiness goes with gold
bonds and that Democracy coquets toe
much with Popery). But the rest of th'
party are thieves or their patrons-ring
masters, monopolists, dOnees of publi
lands, under hand contractors, claim brok
ere, sinecure holders, gold spectators wit
an underground telegraph into the Cabinet
carpet-bag leeches on conquered State

At 7:3O O'Clock this Sunday evening, Father

of St. Vincent de Paul No admission fee will
be charged, and the pews will all be open to
the first-oomers. At the close of the lecture

1t is to be hoped that the object of the leo-

this time particularly, the aileviation Of the
sufferngs of the poor, will touch the hearts of
all who know the sad meaning Of the terrible
word Poverty and the sweet Significance of the
beautiful word Charity.

turer what his subject would be. But, as
everyone knows, he has ways of his own, and
when asked, point-blapk, only replied "That's
my business will not name the subject" So
we might say the lecture will be on an un-
known subject for too well-known object.
Let every one attend.

Hayes.

Mr.. Hayes has missed bis opportunity,
aud It is not more than once in century
that man has ench an opportunity as he
let clip. Mr.. Hayes, crediting him with
fair common sense, must certainly know
that he was fairly beaten for President on
the electoral vote, aud very badly beaten
according to the popular vote. If Mr.
Hayes possessed the instincts of a gentle
man he would refuse to accept any ofhce,
even the alluring one of the Presidency, on
such terms, but so far from doing that he
now comes to the front with the absurd and
ptiful pretense that he has been fairly
elected.
A man returned elected by the fraudu-
lent manipulations of Returning Boards
is not in any sense elected, and it can
be taken in no other way than as sar-
clsm that Fate should have allotted the
prophetic initials, r. B., to an infant des
tined at some future day of manhood to
accept such a fraud as an honor.
If Mr.. Hayes had been capable of rising
to the height of his opportunity he would
have instructed his electors to vote for Til
den in sufficient numbers to make his
election upquestionable and q revolution
impossible. Then the greatest crisis by
far which has ever been reached ia our n a.
tional history would have vanished into
air, the credit of the country would have
been placed on footing ofperfect security,
the wheels of commerce and business
would have been instantly set in motion
and universal prosperity would at this
moment be gladdenipg the whole land like
a glow of blessed Sunlight where now
everything is gloom and inaction and fore
boding.
If Mr. Eayes had done this no man lives
who would have dared oppose hin for the
next Presidency. He would have been re-
garded by all parties as q second Washing
ton and accepted as the glorious founder of
Second Century in a reunited country.
Il. B. might have meant, and ought TO have
meant, Restored Brotherhood; now its
significance has been irredeemably de-
graded into the insignifcance of Returning
| Board.
And, after all, poor Hayes will probably
find that he has been badly duped, that he
has sold his birthright for mess of potage.
Grant is merely using him as cats paw for
handling hot chestnuts, unless we, in com
mon with many others, have greatly mis-
understood that individuaps mapeuvRes
There is q school which has held all along
and holds now more firmly than ever, tha
Grant is Indifferent as between Hayes ant
Tilden, and that he is looking out for no
body but Grant. When Mr.. Hayes find
that he has been used as a mere chess mai
on the imperial board of somebody else'
ambition, he may conclude that the mess @
potage was bad business.

NEW BooK.--We have just heard that the
"Life of Venerable Clement Maria Hofbsuer"
is in course of preparation. Tannoia, Vllle-
court, Brunner, Hsringer, Classeus, are the
principal authors who have heretofore written
of this truly apostolic man. His life may also
be traced in the religious history of his epocb'
and of the countries in which he labored. The
new work is by member of the Order OF

thoress of the "Life Of Catherine McAuley,'
the Life of St. Alphonsus," "G!impses OF

CULTIVATION OF CEREALS IN THE SOUTH.
In the South western States the people
are gradually coming to admit that 1t 1s a
mistaken policy to depend SO exclusively
as they have been accustomed to do upon
their cotton crops, and they are yearly de-
voting more land and more care to the cui-
tivstion of cereals, vegetables, and other
agricultural products that they formerly
procured mainly from the North. But
planters generally have had an idea that
the climate of the extreme Southern States
was zoo warm for the successful production
of wheat, and have seldom attempted to
raise that important variety of grain. The
truth is, however, that wheat comes to the
greatest perfection in semi tropical climes.
Within few years India has suddenly ac-
| ouired importance as a wheat-raising cOun-
try, the exports from Calcutta having
| risen from 2. 900 tons in 1870 to 100 600 tons
7 for nine months of 1876, and the Calcutta
wheat has become favorite with English
bakers. Some of the Southern newspapers
are earnestly urging the planters to enter
nto competition with California in the pro-
ductiOn of wheat upon the extensive scale
which has characterized the operations o.
the great wheat growers in that State. Al

earlier than that grown in the North, tht

The Effective Range of Projectiles.

Concerning the effective range of guns, there is much popular misapprehension. To the scientific gunner, the maximum range is of so little moment that its extent for common infantry bullets, or for the heaviest sea-coast projectiles, is unknown. The long est range known to us was attained by one of Sir Joseph Whitworth's projectiIes, viz, about il 100 yards, not quite six and d half miles. The efficiencyis greatest near the nuzzle, and diminishes as the range increases. A range may be considered effective at which there is a reasonable probability of doing injury. For bullets the effective range will depend on the way in which the enemy's troops deployed. Against a skirmish-line it cannot much exceed 800 yards, but against massed troops it may be as great as 1,500 yards. With field proiectiles an enemy may be harrassed at 2,500 yards, or even 5000 In the bombardment of cities the extreme range is sometimes resorted to, on the as- sumption that a projectile falling anywhere within the line of fortifcation will work damage. Effective range turns upon the higher question of probabilities of fire. -[ -[Appletons' American Cyclopsdia, revised edition, article. "Gunnery."
