Tho Prince of Wales, Tour.

Inc fflUCe OIL w SaIcs> ACuH.
Mr.. Smalley, in his last letter to the New
York Tribune, says:
There has been a singular decline of pub
lie interest in the Prince of Wales Indian
tour. Long letters are arriving by post from
the special correspondents, all of which are
not published, nor are those published, 80
far as one Can judge, much read. Fewer
special kilograms appear. Not even the
Princes elephant shooting, and the glowing
accounts of the courage he displays in the
iunplee have aroused great enthusiasm.
The chairman of the Hackney Liberal Club
dinner has gone go far as to express his dis
approval of pig sticking. and to remind the
Prince that before he exposes his life in en-
counters with mad tigere," he ought to
remember that he has wife and children
at home. The peril from a peculiarly deadly
viper in Ceylon, bearing the pleasing name
of tic prolonga, seems to have been hardly
less than that from tigers and elephants,
and already the British taxpayer has to
hear that the 100000, or whatever 1t was.
provided for the Princes journey, will not
be enough. DR.. Russell was writing home
a month ago that the question OF presents
had become embarrassing.
Experience, says our cOurtier correspond
ent, quite iustifies those who believed that
the sum voted by Parliament would prove
inadequate. The Prince has had to make
more gifts than he expected; there is q
run" on his treasure rOom," this sounds
uaite like California bank story y and not.
withstanding the extreme pains and care OF
the officers charged with the distribution,
Large deficit" is feared. Already We hear
of more presents having been ordered from
London-more books in preposterous bind
ings, as if mere gaudiness and bad taste
and coarse workmanship would please peo-
nle who we're born with q knowledge of
colors to which no European ever attains.
There are Oriental buildings las there are
Oriental manuscripts) which are miracles
of beauty. What can be said of the pro-
ductions of Messrs. Sotheran & Co., which
the Prince has been advised to select as
specimens of what England can do! Per
haps the less eaid the better.

Catholic Total Abstinence Union.


The fifth annual convention of the
Catholic Total ABB etinence Union, held at
Cincinnati, October 6 and Z, 1875, has issued
q pamphlet containing the constitution and
the proceedings of that body, q copy of
which Mr.. j. C. NJ. Kavanaugh, secretary
of the Louisiana Union, has kindly furnished
the REPUBLICAN. To this union Catholic
societies are admitted, taking the sacrament
as many times. or at least once, as the
pastor directs, and by having an approved
spiritual director. 1t is "total abstinence"
and not merely Temperance" Unity, har-
mony and fidelity are cardinal teness.
The officers elected October are: Rev.
Patrick Byrne, of St. Johns Church, Tren-
ton, New Jersey, president; Rev. j. B.
Cotter, Winons, Minnesota, Rev. Joseph F.
X. Michaud, St. Johns, New Brunswick,
vice presidents; James w. O'Brien, No.
Barclay street, New York, secretary; Th. B.
Mccormick, Providence, Rhode. Island,
treasurer, and Timothy B. Crowley, Nashua,
New Hampshire, sergeant-at-arms. The
main object is to distribute correct Catholic
views regarding total abstinence. Although
no one but o practical Catholic may be q
member OF this society, their pledge is an
admirable one:
Iprcmise, with the Divine assistance and
in honor of the sacred thirst and agony of
our Saviour, to abstain from all intoxicating
drinks; to prevent as much as possible, by
advice and example, the sin OF iDtemper-
ance in others, and to discountenance the
drinking customs Of society.
And mem bers Of all denominations who
love their fellow men will wish them God
speed on their way to success in their mis-
ainn.

WORLD RENowNED.-Certainly if any
article of domestic use can claim such dis
tincton, it is the Singer sewing machine.
Year by year the sales of this company
show an increase, and although every ma
chine is sold under full guarantee, no COM
plaint has ever been heard. On the con-
trary, the praise of the "Singer" Is in every
mouth. Let those who want Q really good
and durable sewing machine call on Mr..
William E: Cooper, No. 81 Canal street, and

Church of the Messiah.

Rev. Willard Spaulding, D. D., has ar
rived in this city, to take charge OF the
ministry over the congregation OF the
Church of the Messiah, corner Of st.
Charles and Julia streets, having accepted
the call from that organization rendered
him some time since.
He succeeds the Rev. E. A. Horton,
whose continued illhealth has compelled
him to retire. For the past two months the
Rev. d. n. Reed has filed the pulpit, ana
he will now proceed to Richmond.
There will be many regrets expressed,
occasioned by the loss Of Mr.. Horton and
Mr.. Reed, but Mr.. Spaulding will soon gain
the affeotionate esteem and support Of his
parishioners. He comes from Massachu-
eetts, the honored nursery of Unitarian
clergymen, and brings with him reputa-
ton hardly equsled by the most eloquent
divines of that faith.
Services will be held to-day at eleven
O'Clock in the morning and seven O'Clock in
the evening, and all are invited.

An "old amateur who recently attended
q theatrical performance given by amateurs,
says: "It was not finished until long past
midnight, and even then it was shortened
by cutting out nearly all the last act. The
audience was noisy and inattentive. The
waits between the acts were longer than the
acts themselves. Take it for all in all, we
hone and pray we may neVr look upon it's
like again. Aramintha and stayed until
the bitter end. Poor, dear girl! She was

Getting Ahead.

The irrepressible Chinaman has asserted
himself famously in the Sandwich Islands.
Some of the planters there, believing that
cheap Chinese labor would be an improve
ment on that of the Kanakas, imported
lot of coolies; but many of these, after
working q while, managed to save enough
money to set up for themselves, and now
they are competing in all kinds Of business
with their old masters 1t is said there are
from 1000 to 5000 Cinnamon on the islands,
and that they have Lot only monopolized
the retail trade, but some of them do an ex-
teneive business as merchants and planters.

tives, and the handsomest half-caste woman

Amusemenu.


Mr.. John Mccullough closed his two
weeks engagement at the Varieties Theatre
last night. During his stay here he has
acted Tiryinius, Riehelieu, OMelIo, Richard
III, Pstruehio, King Lear, Spartacas,
Damon, Romeo, Claude Nelnotte and Jack
Cade, working the company very hard, and
making but little money. Tomorrow eve
ming will be produced Little Emily"
adapted from Dickens by Mr.. George
Favcs tt Rowe, in which the dramatist will
himself play wilkins Nica~6er. Mr.. Rowe
is quiet English comedian, and thorough
artist. He was trained in q school where
attention is given even to the most m mute
details of make up and stage business, and
it will be pleasure to see him act. He
first appeared in this country at the
Olympic Thestre, in New York, in 1866,
playing Sir Charles Coldstream, in Used
Up" He was q successful star. but re-
turned to England to fulfill London engage
ments. Later he returned, and has starred
successfully in his own pieces. The won
derful run of the Geneva Cross" both in
this country and in Europe, has made him
famous as an author, as we'll as actor.
These pieces have never been acted IN this
CITY, and their production, under the super
vision Of and with the acting assista nee Of
the author, are anticipated with pleasure.
Lolita concludes her engagement at the
St. Charles Theatre tonight. She has
reason to feel proud of her success, for she
has played the most profitable engagement
played by any star at any theatre here this
season. The representation OF "Musette',
tonight will make the ninth performance OF
that play, and business has constantly in
creased. The play is q gem in its way, and
it's success has been deserved by the actors
and author.
At the Academy Of Music, tonight, Mr..
George E Locke, genuine Yankee COM
edian, will appear in caricature OF New
England character, in play written for
him by Fred Marsden. 1t may be said that
the Gumption Cutes of the stage are no
more real than the stage Irishm men OF
Barney Williams, or the Dutch dialect
parts of Gus Williams, but they are suf.
ticiently amusing to interest an audience.
If the mirror is not held up to nature, the
reflection of the artist shows laughable pic
lures, and va shall probably enjoy Yankee
Locke. He has made a fortune by his
quaint style Of acting the characters in his
line, and when at home he is one Of the
solid men of Lowell.

Report Of the United States shipping
Commissioner.

The annual report Of Captain William
Wright, shipping commissioner for the port
of New Orleans, has been forwarded. I'm
portant facts are stated and suggestions
made as follows:
The number of seamen reported as having
died is twelve, report of which has been
officially furnished the honorable the Cir
cult Court as required by law.
The number Of aeamen shipped in this
Office for the year 1875 was 1869. The num-
Der discharged during the same period was
1923.
The working of this Office seems to give
general satisfaction. The merchants have in
all cases rendered me valuable assistance,
for which am truly grateful.
A matter of great importance to our conn
try, which I desire to bring into promi-
nence, is the small number of American
sailors now serving in our mercantile ma
rine. l believe it to be the duty Of the
national government to establish school
ship at this port. An establishment of this
kind would be the means OF educating q
large number Of bOye, and tit them for the
increasing trade which must soon be estab-
lished between this port and the neighbor-
ing Mexican, South American and West
India trading centres. One of the advan-
tages to be obtained would be in securing a
class of acclimated seamen who would be
ready to man Our national war ships in
emergencies. The value of acclimated sea-
men is we'll known in the West India and
Gulf trade. A very superior class of boys
can be obtained at this port, who, if edu.
Gated to the nautical profession, would re-
feet credit on their country. 1t is to be re-
gretted that when Congress passed the act
detailing United States ships as school
ships, the port of New Orleans was omitted;
this oversight should be corrected, as this
port is, in fact, the second as q port OF
export.
1t is to be hoped the suggestions of Cap
tain Wright, in regard to school ship at
this port, will receive attention from our
COngressmeu.

The Police and the Schools.

Governor Kellogg's message to the Legis-
lature will be lengthy but admirable doc
ument, full of facts and figures, statements
and suggestions. Among other important
matters it is shown that the police and
school systems, which Mayor Leeds objects
to collecting taxes for, because controlled
by the State. have been in the last year
conducted more economically than at any
time since the war.
The cost of the police is less than in 1867,
under Mayor Monroe; less by s343 l91 than
in 1869; $23i.663 less than in 1872, and
5000 less than in 1873. The estimate by
the Council for 1876 Of $499, 900 is $427, 425
less than allowed by them in 1869; $25l ,232
less than made by the Council in 1872, and
$lOl 900 less than their apportionment of
1875. Not more than 1886, 900 of this
sf99, 900 will probably be actually collected
and paid to the police.
The financisl aspect of the school ques-
tion receives elaborate attention from the
Governor. One million five hundred thou
sand dollars of unpaid taxes causes irregu-
larity in the payment Of teachers. From
1865 to 1868 the expense per capita was
$23 "A, sci 40, $24 SO. The Council having
control of the schools in lS67-6S, gave
1887 900 to teach $4,000 pupils. Not hav-
ing control now, it gives $20O, 900 for 20, 900
being for the provision
of schoolhouses. From 1873 to 1875 the
per capita has been $23 rs, $24 SO, $50 70.
These expenses have been below the aver.
age of other large cities. Here it may be
noted that in many large cities the school
houses are owned by the city, and the in
terest on the cost of construction is charged
in the per capita.
