The Orphans Concert.

In accordance with our anticpatiops the
{ Concert of Last Tuesday evening at Grune
valid Hall was Q handsome success. The Hal
was remarkably we'll tilled with an audience
evidently cultivated and refined in point y.
musical taste, while on the score Of the per
sormanee the most enthusiastic expectations
we're more than realized. 1t was really with
pride thst the writer, as q citizen of New
Orleans witnessed the exhibitio of such artistic
skill by number of our young amateurs.
The "6eptette," an instrumental piece from
/" Norma" was, in it's execution, worthy OF
veteran professionals. The instrumental solos
were also much admired. AZ to the vocal part
. of the entertainment the enthusiastic applause
which followed every piece evidenced the graft
fcation which is never the fruit of any thing
crude or imperfect.
Most OF all of the participants in the perfor-
manoe were quite young and, therefore, Their
proficiency was the more noticeable. It is
BILE to our population that the beautiful
accomplishment of music should be so highly
appreciated and 80 successfully cultivated in
its midst. Nothing but refined taste and ex-
allied appreciation of artistic excellence perva-
ding the community at large, could bring
forth the fruits of individual cultivation which
we find so wonderfully numerous in this city
and which. were pre-eminently exempli-
fed on the occasion in question. Doubtless
New Orleans Is some day destined to take
. lofty position among the great musical CEN
tiers of the world.
As to the concert in question, where excel
lence was so universal, it would be unjust to.
distinguish by selecting names for special
mention and it would be useless to enumerate
the whole list. We believe, however, that
PR. Grunewald, himself, is principally entitled
10 credit for his exertions in setting on foot
the musical association to the efficiency of
which the success of the occasion was so largely
J ne. The pecuniary relief of the Asylum from
fhe event cannot but be considerable and the |
Jesuit ought always to remain a source of graf |
ication not only to the more immediate parti- |
ipaDts in the entertainment, but to those |
fberal and estimable gentlemen whose judi
lions management contributed so largely to |
It's eclat.

| ENTERTAINMENT IN ST. PETERS PARISH
On the fifth page of our present issue will be
found the programme of an entertainment to
be given this saturday. and tomorrow (Sun-
day. evenings, in st. Peters Hall, Msrigny
street, between Royal and Dauphne streets. for
TIE benefit of the School Fund. The cast is
made up of members of ST. Peters Literary
Society and presents an array of names which,
for histrionic ability, any other Catholic Society
would find it difficult to equal. The plays &C.
lected are entertaining, amusing and instr uc
tive. The entertainment is given under the
auspices of ST. Peters Educational Society, an
association of intelligent and energetic gentle
men, organized to assist the pastor, Very Rev.
c. Moynihan, in defraying the heavy expenses
of the parochial schools and in securing the in.
estimable advantages of truly Christian
training to all the Catholic children of the
parish. We trust that an OVERLOOKING house
will greet the youthful performers on both
nights, that thus both they and the gentlemen
of the Educational Society may be encouraged
in the great Catholic work they have unGertc-
ken.

A Berlin letter of recent date says: "Since
obligatory military service was introduced in
Prussia, ie., about Rixty years ago, the number
Of deserters and refractory recruits was never
so great as in the present year. There is hardly
tribunal in Prussia that does not issue writs
OF arrest against scores, nay hundreds of such
recaloitrants. In the province of Nassau,
counted this summer between two and three
hundred; afortnight ago the town of Treves
alone had seventy; and to day read that the
court of Culm has launched two hundred writs
Of arrests. ALI these young men prefer losing
their rights as citiz.ns to becoming military
slaves in Prussia. In Treves priest who had
served in the 69tn Infantry Regiment as
private soldier was discharged this week, after
having passed his examination as an officer of
the reserve. The system of espionage and de-
nunciation, as it now exists in Prussia, is dis
grace to the whole nation, for it proves how
deeply it has sunk, how dishonorable and mean
1T has become. Let me add, however, that
most of the informers Professionals or such
Catholics as by their conduct have loug ceased
to be members of the Church. The creatures
the Government employs for Watching the
priests are not only policemen, but frequently
women, and even children, who are regularly
trained for their dishonorable task. If priest,
Tor some reason or other, is suspected of COM
uniting transgressions against the May Laws,
MS house is regularly besieged with these
sneaklng creatures of the Government; one
stands at the corner of the street, another
walks up and down, apparently lost in deep
thought, another again watches from behind q
wIndow-curtain-all are bent finding out
what persons go in and out at the presby terry.
And if the visitors should not be adorned with
martial moustaches, or appear in a somewhat
sombre dress, they are in great danger of being
arrested or summoned to the police Office to
prove themselves not to be Jesuits, or deposed
or banished priests"

In Spain, according to the statistics prepared
by the Minister of Public instruction, there
were, at the close of the year 1870, %. I'll pub
lie schools of all Glasses, of which 16. 1888 were
for boys and 6676 for girls. To arrive at the
number fixed by Law governing public instruo-
ton, there were wanting 1924 schools. For
every group of GAP inhabitants there was one
school. The province of Leon had the greatest
number of schools, the province of Huelva the
least. OF primary schools there were 5406
The number of children in attendance was
l. 200. 720, of whom 754 1870 were boys and
446.61o were girls. Besides these children,
there were 209.736 taught in private schools.
There was one student for every thirteen in
habitauts. The province of Oviedo had the
greatest number of children receiving instruc
tion, the province of the Canaries the least
There we're IL 143 male teachers and 1865 fe-
male teachers receiving pay from the Govern
