tends to erect thereon an Industrial and Aer-
cultural school for the male orphans of the
Diocese of Savannah, under the charge of the
Sisters OF st. Joseph. Rev. Mother Clement,
Left On the evening of the 18th to take posses
sion Of their new home, and prepare for the
reception of the rest of the community and the
orphans. At q meeting of the su bscribers and
benefactors of the orphans, held on the after
noon of Tuesday, in st. Joseph's Convent
every one seemed highly pleased with the ar
rangements for theimprovementoft the orphans,
although all We're sorry to part with the good
religious, who, by their devotedness aud
religious modesty, have justly endeared them
selves to the people of Savannah. The good
and charitable ladies present expressed their
discrimination to remain stesdfast friends to
the orphans and to the Sisters, to continue
their subscriptions and contributions for their
support Early next week the rest of the Sis
tera and the orphans will leave Savannah for
aheir new home.-SarannaR Cross.
Abiding to the frauds perpetrated by the
political persons who were placed as agents
among the several Indian tribes, the Omaha
Herald (non.Catholic) says with great truth
The trouble now is that these red men are
opposed TO the religious frauds and hypocrites
Who are sent to teach Christianity with their
bps and practice all sorts of deviltry with
their nimble fingers, and unitedly demand
that they shall have only Catholic missionaries
among them, men whose lives religiously
consistent, like that of the great De Smet. 1t
must be humiliating to the sects to see the
spontaneous requests of the Ind ians for only
Catholic missionaries; but we not surprised
mt this. Tho Protestants have only themselves
10 blame for it. The bad conduct of their
Inissi aries among the Indians, their dissolute
and dishonest practices aud bad habits, be-
trayiDg want of sincerity. and displaying
bad examples, have at last produced the
natural Consequences. When the Government
Tor political Purposes, supplanted many mis-
aipns of the mother Church. which had been
established and built mp by many years of toll
and sacrifice, IL committed great wrong, and
eansed infinite damage to the cause of civil
lEipg progress among the savage tribes The
Indians ought TO be permitted TO choose their
own religious missionaries, aud We trust they
may be allowed to do so in the fdture.'

There expired at the Redemptorist Convent in
she Diocese of Nancy, in Lorraine, on Decem-
Der 10Th, great servant of God. John BAPTIST

Congregation of the Redemptorisrs, then uuder

Father Hofbaoer, the process of W hose Beati-
Soaton Ia now far advanced before the Sacred
Congregation. The times were very troublsd
Redemptorsts. as all other Reli Sious Commu-

terrible times. The young Kalten bach, with
an unalterabe fidelity To the holy man who
6rsk carried the Redemptorist Congregation
INTO Austria, the Venerable Father Hofbauer,
ompanted him III his exile, and in bis haz-
hTdous expeditions into Poland. In later times
he filled many posts of great response bllity
among the Redemptorists. In some such "a
capacity, about tw enty- five years ago, he visit
ed this country. He was a singular mixture
OF simplicity and of wisdom. HIS variations
