felt the weight of their woe lightened by The
humanity and lberality of our public il
its corporate capacity and acting through
it's Legislature. A people may be intellect
ually cultured to the highest point, it may
have attained the maximum of civilized
art and political empire, but if it has for
gotten the instincts of humanity, it is, after
all, only community of refined savages.
Louisiana was always noted for her pub
lie charities and benefcent works. Like q
a good mother her hand was open to her
needy childrenIand, las usual, her generosity
was generously responded to by kiud Pro-
violence. The gentlemen from abroad,
however, who have of late years taken
charge of the government of this State,
brought to it's administration certain thrift
ty ideas of economy that were to be great
improvement on the wasteful habits. Of
thoughtless Southerners. They were ex
ceedingly economical in appropriations for
our charitable Institutions, finally dropping
them altogether, but, strange to say, their
expenditures, instead of being lessened
thereby, footed up immensely larger.
There can be no doubt of the thrift of

their economy proved-a failure and the
State grew poorer.
We are getting rid of them let US hope
that we shall at the same time get rid of
their false systems of policy. Let US watch
that no evil seed W hich they have planted
take root here to perpetuate it's poisonous
kind. We cannot ask our Legislature to
be as lavish in generosity as was it's won't
in better days, but we do desire to see it
re-establish, TO the extent of the means at
it's disposal, all-without exception-of
those grand and noble principles which
gave character to our State in olden
times and sparkled like jewels in her
queenly crown.
A gentleman just released from the chains
of imprisonment, no matter how long con-
tinued, is gentleman still though in rags,
and the widow who gave but mite as
serted her principle of charity far more
convincingly than the rich man who emp
tied his purse of gold he would never miss.

Texas.

We refer with pleasure to the second
letter from our Texas correspondent,
which we to-day lay before our readers
He is giving some graphic sketches of
matters and things in Galveston-the
beautiful island city of the Gulf-which
cannot fail to interest our readers, many
of whom have Intimate relations, COM
mercial or otherwise, with Galveston, and
to all of whom Texas is the fairy land of
broad prairie and cloudless sun. Our
correspondent las in his first letters famili-
churches in the city, saying nothing as yet
about the Cathedral. This may seem
reversing the order of thingss and SO it
wonld be if the gentleman writing were q
citizen Of the place and thoroughly fami-
liar with IT'D condition and history, but he
ia wayfarer there and defers treating the
most Important and Interesting points I'M
til he shall have acquired information
enough to do them justice.
Passing on from Galveston, he Intends
visiting many other localities of principal
historic and present note, each of which
viii form the subject of one of his vivid pen
pictures. By the time he gets through
they who follow him ia print will fnd
themselves almost imagining that they
have lived while in Texas.
The great Empire State of the South is
orr next door ncighbor and intimate ally.
What affects Texas interests Louisiana,
and the community which exists between
them in pecuniary interests is doubly
strengthened b. the congeniality of charac-
ter distinguishing their respective popula-
tions Let US know all about Texas.

st. Stephens Church. Napoleon Avenue.

The ceremony of the blessing of children did
not take place in this church last Sunday on
account of the very unfavorable weather.
All the good parents who intended that their
little children should profit by this solemn and
beautiful act of relg ion felt 50 much disap-
pointed, and they are still 50 pxious for this
favor to be granted to their children, at Ieast
once in the year, that arc happily obliged
to announce that this same ceremony will take
place in the same church this evening at Al
O'Clock.
Bot it is not every Catholic even who knows
what this blessing mesus. To bless means to
give, or to wish something good to any one. In
the first sense God alone bsesses, because all
goods of soul and body come from Him. In
the second sense angels ard men may bless Us
in wishing for whatever is good and in
praying for it to God. An angel blessed Jacob
(Gen. xvi 29), Jacob when dying blessed his
children and grandchildren [Gen. Xviii. 15).
Melchisede Oh blessed Abraham (Gen. xiv. 19)
And the priests blessed the people. Oar Sa-
viour blessed His disciples with uplifted hands,
and would always bless the little children that
crowded round Him. Charity obliges all
Christians TO bless their every neighbor with
oct any exception. 1t is the special duty of
parents to bless their children by daily Offering
up petitions to God in their regard, and par
ticularly SO at the hour of death like the pa
trarchs of old, parents should gather their
children round their death bed to give them a
salutary advice and their last blessing. For
God fulflls the blessing of good parents ac-
cording to the testimony of the Holy Ghost
" The fathers blessing establisheth the house
of the children" Wherefore is it to parents
above all others that st. Paul says, "Bless, and
curse not" (Romans xii. 14). The virtue of the
priests blessing is of all the greatest. For he
is chosen by Almighty God to take his place in
blessing the people. The priest, in the exercise
of his ministry, is truly the representative OF
Christ. 1t would be sin agaist faith to doubt
| it. And when he gives blessing it is in the
name of the Church. through tho merits o.
Jesus Christ, consequently his blessing comes
from God. And he who has Gods blessing will
be successful in every good thing that he IN
dertskes; he can do more with email thar
others can with larger means. Since thu
priests blessing thus comes from God, we can
not prize it too much, We cannot seek it to-
often.
Parents should zee that their children ar
blessed by the priests who come to visit them
They should do this with the same faith as tn
children were brought to our Saviour, that h
might lay his hands on them and bless then

Here is another overwhelming danger threat
ening the great German Empire,-a danger far
greater than that resulting from the apparition
of the Blessed Virgin to the three little girls
at Marpingen. As Bismarck crushed the latter
conspiracy by imprisoning the little girls, it
is to be hoped, in the interests of civil and re-
ligious liberty, that he " i'll take measures to
thwart the monks of France in the infamous
scheme alluded to in the following telegram ::
Semi. Official letters have been received in
Vienna from Berlin, which state that the Ger

poses hostile to Germany,

1t is a curious commentary on the progress
of science that the most unscientfcslly con-
s.ructed houses Paris and London are those
in which the leaders of science carry on their
deliberations. The hall in which the Paris
Academy of Sciences meets is 50 badly venti.
lated that when the Windows are closed the
members are stjfed with heat and foul air
while, usual, many of them have dread of
open windows. N. Leverrier declared short
time ago that the only other apartment in
France which was SO intolerabie was the Hall
Of the Institute.

1t appears from the New York World that
Father McGlynn, pastor of st. Stephens, is not
to be appointed Co-adjutor to the Cardinal
Archbishop of New York, as was reported
short time age. The World reports one of
Father McGynn's ASSISTANTS as saying that
Father OFarrell, of st. Peters, New York, is to
be appointed Bishop, and this fact may possibly
have given rise to the report concerning Father
McGlynn. 1t is understood that Father Oar
rell will be either Co .adjutor to the Archbishop
of Toronto or Bishop of Council Bluffs, Iowa.
While on this subject we would call attention
to the sketch on another page of the new Bishop
of Peoria, Ills, DR.. j. Lancaster Spalding.
Father Spaldng is native of Kentucky, and
nearly all his ecclesiastical life was spent
within it's borders, but at the time of his ap.
4pOintmeut he was temporarily sojourning in
New York.

Gibbons, Bishop of Richmond, Va, who arrived
in town Thursday on a short visit to his family
aud friends. Though not of very robust coz

the immense strain put upon his powers by the

the affairs of large diocese to manage, he still
finds time for Multiplicity of other engage

his Metropolitan, the Most Rev. Archbishop of

inhabitants of the French capital. Branches
have been established with wonderful success
in most of the doceses of France, and it has even
taken root in other countries Encouraged by
the bishops, it has, under the name of "little
novicistes," preparatory schools in which boys
who have taste for teaching and for religious
life complete their primary education and are
prepared with particular care to enter the
