THE ESCAPED FEN1AN PRIsoNERs.-On one
Of our inside pages we publish short biographi-
cal sketches of the men who recently escaped
from Australia and of their gallant rescuers.
1t will be seen that to Mr.. J. J. Breslin is due,
principally, the honor and cridit of conceiving
and carrying out the daring enterprise, by
which, at the cost of $50, 900 and at the risk of
his life, he succeeded in restoring to liberty six
oW-patriots who had been condemned to i'm
prisonment for life Mr.. Breslin, besides being
man of great personal courage and shrewd-
ness, is also wit, as will be seen by the sub
joined letter sent by him to the Governor of
Australia. When about two miles from shore
he fastened it to some wood, and as the wind
and tide set full on shore, he has no doubt that
it resched its destination. 1t reads thus:
RoCKINGHAHI, April II, 1876.

The Escaped Fenians.

Some of the English papers evince con-
siderable soreness over the bold adventure
which rescued from captivity the political
convicts whom the English Parliament had
first refused to liberate. The London Ttle
graph, for instance, thinks that the British
Government can demand their rendition on
the ground that they were taken on board
an American vessel in British waters.
This pretension, however, will not bear q
moments inspection, as no demand was
made until the vessel wae beyond the limits
of British Jurisdiction. If they had been
audaciously and forcibly taken on board an
American craft, in British port; if, while
lying there, the police authorities had de-
manded their surrender, and, if illegally
defying this competent authority, the ves-
sci had by virtue of superior force borne eff
| the parties rescued, some rule of comfy
| might dictate their rendition by this gov
ernment. But once on the high seas, there
could be no pTetense of any British au-
tholity over an American vessel, or of the
violation of any British police right by that
| vessel.
The Telegraph probably comes uearer it's
bona Jide and serious views of the matter
when it adds that, in another aspect,
the whaling vessel which accomplished this
feat did the British government a good turn
without intending it, in ridding it, as the
Telegraph says, of an expensive nuisance
"An expensive nuisance." The pecuui-
ary expense of maintaining half dozen
convicts at about 25 cents day, each, could
not have weighed heavily on the British ex
chequer, bat the " nuisance" part was g
more serious matter. England has a mum.

time. The Russian nuisance is 30 grave

Last Sundays Exeuraion Up tho River.

The excursion of st. Henry's Congregation
and their friends up the river last Sunday was
in all respects one of the most enjoyable in our
experience. Leaving Canal street at about
half past eleven, the splendid steamer LaBelle
backed down the river to the foot of Esplanade
street, and thence proceeded up the river,
stopping at jackson street, the Ocean Saw
Mills and Carrollton, at each point receiving
large accessions to the load of pleasure seekers
which finally numbered no less than six hun
dred persons. The trip to Hodges Grove,
eighteen miles up, was most delightful re-
freshipg breeze penetrating through the crowd
to every corner of the boat, and, with the plea
SAINT scenes Of plantation life brought to view
on either side of the mighty river, contrasting
most sgreeably with the heat and dust and
brick walls of the city.
At the Grove the excursionists landed, and
spent two three hours under the shade of
the grand old oaks which cover the place
Then Froeba's band recalled all to the river,
where Prot. Gerry gave an interesting exhbi-
tion of the value of Boyntop's india-rubber
suit, and Prof. Clark, the champion of the
South, in simple bathing suit, showed his
wonderful skill as q swimmer. Among other
astonishing feats, Mr. Clark swan fully two
miles, down and across the river, in twenty-one
minutes and ten seconds; time being kept by
Mr.. John Smith, of the Fourth District, who
accompanied him in a skiff.
At twilight the LaBelle let her lines go. and
rapidly steamed down the river. The return,
by moonlight was the most agreeable part of
the trip, the passengers finding ample room to
promenade on the hurricane roof. The boat
stopped at the several points from Carrollton
to Canal street to land her passengers at the
places from which they had embarked, reach
ing Canal street at about 9:15 o'clock.
We congratulate the Rev. Pastor Of St.
Henry's, Father Bogaerts, upon the fine success
which has crowned his efforts. The utmost
good order prevailed throughout, the excursion
being really family picnic, or picnic of
families.

aged to purchase the books and subscribe for
the papers to be read in the family.
There is no doub BIT that the parent will be held
responsible for the kind of literature that en-
ters his household; therefore, common pru-
dence dictates that he should attend to the
procuring of such supplies.
1t is equally true that many young persons
are endowed with sufficient Judgment and dis
cretion to make very proper selections of good
and useful reading matter; yet, on the score of
propriety, of greater experience and of the re-
sponsibility just mentioned, the head of the
family is the one whose duty it is to provide
good books and papers for his children.
For their neglect of this duty, many parents
excuse themselves by saying that they have no
time to read all tho new books 80 as to Judge
whether they be good or bad. For such as
these there is an almost unerring rule. Let

Catholic Total Abstinenoe Society Itoms.

At the last meeting CT the State Union 1t
was resolved that the annual celebration by
| the Total Abstinence Societies in honor OF the
| birthday of Father Mathew should take place
I on Sunday, Oct: 9th. ALI the members Of the
several Societies will receive Holy Communion
| at the Jesuits' Church, at the seven O'Clock
MASS that day, and in the evening there will
be free lecture. The celebration will be pre-
ceded by three or Eve days retreat. There
will be no procession on account Of the numer-
| GUS political parades which will occupy public
attention about that time.
AT the same meeting the designations of Mr..
D. II. Buckley President, and Mr. L. E
Meehan Second Vice President, were ac-
cepted, and the thanks of the Union were
unanimously voted to the retiring officers for
their efficient services. The vacancies thus
created were then filed by the unanimous
election of the following named gentlemen :
Mr.. Jno. T. A. O'Meallie, President; Mr.. J. H.
Aeslin, First Vice President, and Mr.. VIM. II.
Sterling, Second Vice President.
Mr. O'Meallie is one of the organizers of
the Society in this city, and has always
been one of its most Jealous members
Ever punctual in attending the meetings.
his sound judgment and intelligent inter
est in all that concerned the Society, no
less than his cheerful sacrifice of time and
comfort in it's behalf, have long marked him
as one of the pillars of the movement of which
he is now the chief. Mr.. OMeallie was Firet
Vice President of the Union at the time of his
election to the Presidency, hence another va
cancy was created, which was filed by the
election of Mr.. ]. r. Heslin, one of the Dele
gates from St. Alphonsus' Society and President
of st. Stephens Society. Mr.. Heslin has won
golden opinions by his earnestness in the cause,
his gentleness and modesty. 1t appeared to be
q really great pleasure to the mem bers of the
Union to have the opportunity, afforded by his
absence. of proving their high appreciation of
his merits. MIR. w. 81. Sterling, the Second
Woe President, is one of the organizers of St.
Joseph's Society, Algiers Total Abstinence to
him is no new thing, as he has practiced it for
over quarter of a century, and by his advice

Divided Methodism.

The two branches-Northern and South
ern-of the Methodist Church in this coun-
try have been disunited for a great many
years. Formerly it was on the question of
slavery. 1t is needless to- say that on that
question their Church divided on the exact
line of interest, and the moral convictions
of the respective members were precisely in
accord with their geographical relations to
Mason and Dixon's line. Methodists South
of that parallel believed in the innocence of
slavery; Methodists North of it saw in the
institution nothing but iniquity and damna-
ton. 30 much for the influence of climate
on abstract truth.
But the war swept away that issue as
practical one and gave the brethren
chance TO reconcile their differences. Did
they do it7 The nature of heresy is di-
vision, not consolidation. It's history is di-
vision after division until nothing is left.
So it happened with our American Wesley
ans. 1nstead of arranging their differences
after the war, their antagonism ss two sec
tions, was far moro marked and bitter than
before. The successful wing in the mill
tary sense, had profted by the opportuni-
ties of war and taken possession of many
nice little pieces of property. These they
would not give up, ard the party robbed
entertained no very respectful opinioR of
the honesty exhibited by the party holding
the strong hand.
Still, efforts have been made to patch up
relations which would look little more cor
dial. The Last of these has been paraded by
Al, <lo;l~ = !
complete success. 1t appears that sundry
commissioners representing each side met
recently at Cape May, and that under the
benign influence of general jollity and fine
ses-bathing they agreed on certain high
sounding phrases of fellowship which
amount to nothing. The grand point at
issue was the property. Here they agreed
that what the civil courts had decided to
be right and moral the Church had no
right to review. The infallble arbiter of
morals had spoken, the Church must be 81
lent. Things must remain so. This con-
cedes all the advantage to the invaders, and
it was always easy for the SoutherneTs to
knock under on those terms.
1t is also urged by the commissioners that
the members of either Church shall recog-
nize the ministers and members of the other
as their brethren and deal with them as
such, not interfering, however, with their
respective missions. Here is another clear
knock down for the Northern branch. The
Church, South, is not going to have any
houses or "missions" at the North, bat
the Church, North, is very aggressive down
! this way. If it chooses to establish mis-
sions here under the control of Bishops of
the Church, North, that must not be taken
in bad part by Southern Methodiste. If
there should come to be even two Methodist
Bishops of Louisiana-one, North, the other,
South-why, they must aGliate together in
all charity. If a Methodist from England
should come here, would he not be in a
Quandary to know whether he were a
Methodist, North, or a Methodist, South 2
Yet, it's all one Church. No division all
made up. To as it looks like an absolute
