YOU sav their advertisement.
Ifyou are in business, advertise in it yourself.
HOW NOT TO SUPPORT 4 PAPER.
Borrow it regularly from your neighbor.
When you speak of it, just say, in con-
temptuous way, that there's nothing in it, with
ont showing how there can be absolutely moth
ing in what other men, at least as intelligent
az yourself, think there is q great deal.
Make it point never to buy of those who
seek to attract your custom by advertising; but

proper way to prove your charity is to abstain
vigorously from parting with your own money
and to force others to spend theirs.

VERY REV. II. TUMoINE.-This eminent &C.
clesiastic leaves in few days on . short
visit to Europe, to seek relaxation from the
arduous duties of his mission. Daring the
thirty or more years of his ministry|his life has
been one of incessant toll and pious edifcation.
For many years, while there were yet but few
facilities for travel, he rendered excellent ser
vice in several of the country parishes on Red
River and Bayou Lsfourche. He was after
wards transferred to st. Augustne's parish in
this city, and thence to that of st. Ann, where,
as it's pastor he has since continuously remained
respected by all and lendearing himself more
and more daily to his people by his seifsacri-
fcing labors While filing this last appoint
ment Father T1moine has performed, unas-
sisted, the many duties devolving upon him as
pastor of this large and fourishing parish,
which, at times, aud especially during seasons
of epidemic, were extremely onerous.
few years since Father Tumoine celebrated
in conjunction with two of his brother priests
the twenty fifth Anniversary of his ordination
on which occasion, it will be remembered, th'
Rev. A, ]. Ryan paid glowing tribute to hi
zeal. Father Tumoine, with his two confreres
were at that time appointed canons of tn
church, and were named by the Archbishop a.
members of his council
= During his sojourn IN Europe Father Tuuoin
will visit his relatives and friends, ss also m an
of the holy shrines of that country, at one c
: which he expects to meet, by invitation, Hi
Grace, the Most Rev. Archbishop, who will b
present with q number of other distinguishe
prelates at a grand ceremony to take place i
. the early part of next month. 1t is his hoT
. also to visit Ireland.
l" We unite with Father Tumoine's uumeroV
,, personal friends and with his fock.in wishir
'e him pleasant voyage, and sincerely hope thi
70 he may return thoroughly restored in healt
'. and Eefreshed in mind.

Tax judgments Against Churches and
Charitable Institutions.

We invite special attention to an Item OF
information that has been furnished us by
an eminent legal friend. We are informed
that the city authorities have, in violation
of all law and all deceucy, published as a
defaulter for taxes every charitable and re-
ligious institution in this city; that further
more their proper law officer, viz the city
attorney, or assistant attorney, has taken
defaults in all such cases, and that he has
gone SO far as to confirm those defaults into
actual Judgments for 30 much money.
These are what may perhaps be properly
called snap iudgments, because if the par
ties in charge of these interests had been
notified they certainly would have filed
defences, and, as certainly defeated the
jealous efforts of these learned gentlemen.
The Judgments could not have been obtain
ed if the public had known anything about
the job.
But there is very little use in now dis
cussing the manner of the wrong doing;
the question is, what, if any, is the remedy
We will remark that these scandalous judg-
is cannot be signed for several days to
come, and consequently new trials can be
applied for. Indeed, we are satisfied that
Judge Lynch will, if the matter be brought
to his attention, refuse to sign any such
judgments until ample time shall have been
given every body to apply for justice. By
fiction of law the publication Of de-
faulters' list is supposed to be citation Of
every person, individual or corporate,
therein named, but in point of fact when
certain establishments know themselves to
be exempt by law from taxation, they never
dream of looking in the list for their names,
and consequently Judgment against them
is virtually one without notice.

LIBERTY OF Protestant CHURCHES IN
PRUssIA.-The Lower House OF the Prussian
Parliament has had under consideration for
some time prcjet de loi, having for its object
the "reform" " of the constitution of the Pro-
testant Church, according to the regulations
adopted at the General Synod held last year
under the authority of the King of Prussia
The resolutions then adopted were far from
meeting unanimous approval; and, indeed, the
influence of the King himself was required in
order to secure the adoption of some OF them
~ even email majority. Those who were
dissatisfied with the changes have neture4iS
carried their opposition into Parliament, and
object to making compulsory all the Pro-
testant copgre cations, arrangements to which
they object on principle. They finally sub
mitted the following proposal to the chancei-
lor: If any Protestant congregation or notable
number of the members of such congregation
! feeling dissatisfied with the new arrangement
without, however, changing in any point their
religious opinions, should desire to form o
separate reli gious society distinct from and in
dependent of the Church recognized by the
State, it was asked that such religious society
should be placed on the same footing as similar
congregations of Old Catholics. The Govern
ment, however, absolutely refused to listen to
such o proposal, insisting that such dssident
Protestants had nothing in common with the
Old Catholics, and that treatment which was
fair and equabIe against the Catholic
Church, would be unjust, if the Protestant
Church were it's object. DR., Falck contended
that it was the duty of the State to protect
believing Christians against Councirs de
claration of infalliblity," but that it was 6
very different matter to upset the decisions of &
" General Protestant Synod" Some of the
Prussian Protestant newspapers only laugh a.
the matter, while others generally dissatis

IF THE CAP FITS You PUT IT ON.-Why
should not Catholics take an interest in Cath
Olic affairsf Many of them do not seek Cath
Olio news, do not interest themselves in the
Church either at homo or throughout the
world do not know what Catholic enterprises
arc afoot in their midst and think they do
enough for religion by subscribing something
when solicited. This Indifference particularly
iufects those whom God has blessed with pros
pority. They are Catholics; but their chief
aim is 20 mako their Casholicity aid them, or
at least not hurt them, in their business. They
never think of being prominent in any project
of charity or piety. They seldom inquire of
their pastor whether he needs help for the poor
or the orphans he has to relieve. The question
nth them is not how to help, but how to keel

MEETINo OF oArHoEIc IzTAEEM


NASDNs~-DS -
A few Catholic laymen having learned thes
the Rev. J. Rouxel, of the Cathedral. was sbcnt3
to visit France, conceived the happy idea o1
transmitting, through him, o uaesssge OF shec-
ton to our venerable aud beloved Metropolitan,
His Grace, the Most Rev. Archbishop Perohe.
As Father Rouxel was to start in few days,
there was not time for elaborate arran gements,
and the Catholic laymen whose names were at
the moment thought of, were invited to meet
ct P n. Thursday in the parlor OF the Rev.
Jesuit Fathers, corner of Common and BAronne
streets.
Although the weather proved uppropitious,
and showers Of rain fell about the time named
for the assemblage, it was we'll attended.
On motion of Mr.. c. E. Girardey, the meeting
was organised by the election of the following
officers:
Thos. Layton, Esq President.
Raymond A. Bourk. Alexis Robert and
Octave De Armas, Vice Presidents.
E. H. McCaleb and Thos. d. Dimitry, Score
taries.
The president having explained the object OF
the meeting, Mr.. Edward Bermudez rose and,
in eloquent words, urged the propriety of en-
bracing this favorable opportunity OF assuring
His Grace that during the protracted exile to
which he had condemned himself in his ad-
vanced age for the welfare of the Hock which
he loves 30 well, their hearts had followed him
in his labors and his travels, their prayers had
never ceased to be poured forth for his health
and the success of his mission, and that they
earnestly looked forward to the time when he
could return to console himself and them by
dwelling again in their midst.
Mr.. Bermudezs remarks elected a warm re-
sponse from his auditors, and committee,
consisting of the following named gentlemen,
was appointed to draw up resolutions in ac-
cordnnce with the sentiments which had been
expressed

What do people mean when they tell US that
+be STATE should tax church property What
ia the state Is it a personality In the case of
a monarchy or an oiigarchy this question Is
easily and quickly answered, but what answer
can be given in our case : Is it the majority, OF
the expression of the will of the majority
Well, if it is, why does minority, and very
smali one at that, ask of the majority to tax
itseIfi Why does an insignificant minority AT
ropantly demand the State to legislste against
itself that is, against the will of the majority
Or is the State to be the ne plus ultra OF rational
thought, and the judge of how to realize or m a.
terialize it in the best manner possible but
who is to originate that thOughtf for the state
| is impersOnal. What body of men have right
| to obtrude the workings of their brain as the
most correct expression and the best form OF
reasonf
r. Again, what is meant when we are told that
| the State should be the educator of the people
| This must surely mean that small clique
| in the State should have darling hypothesis
| on the nations altar, and that the majority
| must needs come and adore. The more we ex.
| pect the State to do, the more do we expose and
| endnnRer the liberties of the individual. To
heap responsibilities upon the State is to lessen
the number of attributes which OF necessity
belong to the idea of Republic. To centre all
of them in the State is to establish the most
despotic autooraoy. Where the State rules
thinks, educates and Worships for the people
