Az HLEIOow-A venerable reilc
of by-Cone DAYS stands In the dining
hall 81 the Pacific House. II is one
of the old-fasbioned clocks. some
eight feet in height. which used to
grace many of the old homes of the
land. The clock is over fifty years
of age, and has been an heirloom
the past generation, in the family of
Mrs. r. H. Howard, and it is unne-
cessary to add, is priced above any
reasonable money consideration. It's
antiquated face shows the marks
of the ruthless hand of Time, and is
scanned and SCARED by the effects of
age; yet it performs its allotted
function and indicates the rapid
fight of hours as Of yore. Its tick is
still firm and energetic, though pos
sessing solemn cadence, doubtless
intensified by the venerable appear
ance of the mechanism. There is a
sermon contained in its antique
form, its seams and scars and
bruises, and withal it's fidelity to its
mission through all the changes and
vicissitudes it has passed. And
now it occupies cherished nook in
the memory of its owner, hallowed
by the associations of lifetime.

Dublin, in 1927. -Four yeas later-Deoember

of Mercy. 1t sent out its first colony in 1885.
Since that period the Order of Mercy has spread
with unexampled rapidity. 1t now Cs77)

The feast of Our Lady of Mercy is the pa

and was the favorite feast of it's holy foundress.
" On the eve of the feast of Our Lady of Mercy,
1sio. His Holiness, Popa Gregory XVI, was

the Sisters Of Mercy by granting to the whole

forever, and applicable by way of suffrage to

The friends Of civilization may rejoice
that chief control in France is in the hands
of such a man as MacMshon-a man that
knows what to do and how to do it. He is
D rock npon which frothy politicians of the
reckless order like Gambetta break them
selves in vain. This man of words ought
to have known better than to confront the
lion. He is comparatively youDg; he ought
to have waited until the weight of few
more years had upperved the sinewy hand
that brushes away little charlataus like
him without shadow of hesitation. He
has forgotten himeelf and ia ruined.
The consequence of his conviction will,
it is eaid, be civil disability for the ensuing
five years. Mr.. Gambetta represents the
bad elements of society in France. HE
head quarters are properly IN tie rue ST.
Jacques, and his strength is among the
dissolute, radical scum that infest the low
est dens of Paris, singing their profsue
| and ribald chdRSenS, and breathing their
perpetual curses of hatred and fury against
| everything stable and decent. President
MacMahon, OF General MacMahon if you
will, knows al! this perfectly, and he has
not the least idea of letting the wild ass of
radicalism take the bit in its teeth. He
knows how to keep that kind of gentry in
their place ard is most certainly going to
do it. He commences on impu6eDt and
pretensious fellows like Gambetta with
the law and the jail; he will wind up
upon MIR. Gambetta's brethren of the torch

Truly the Paris mob, with all its
"afinities" in the country towns, has
fallen upon evil days this time, and we
heartily regret that such mob should,
} simply by stealing the venerable name OF
Republicsnism, be able to attract a certain
amount of sympathy in this country. An
, intelligent press out not to be captured go
, easily. AT any rate, whether American
sympathy chooses to stultify itself or not
MacMahon is bound to get back Alsace and
Lorraine and he is not going to be banked
in the undertaking by auy surly fanaticism

ANTHONY SCHwARz AT IL O'Clock, mid
night, of Wednt sday, the 18th inst, passed
calmly away the soul of our venerable friend
and fellow citizen, Anthony SchwaIz. Mr..
Schwa had been for many years identified in
the minds of our commercial public with the
Southern Bank. of which he was q most trust
ed employe. With the Catholic community.
however, he was much more fondly identified
with every good word whereby the honor Of
the Pope the welfare of the Church could
be advanced. Notwithstanding his great
age, the powerful frame with which nature
had endowed him bore up wonderfully under
labor and fatigue. 1t seems to but the
other day that We saw his honest, cheerful
face in our midst while he was yet actively at
work in his usual routine Of duties.
Mr.. Schwarz, though q native of Bavaria,
had at the time of his death been q resident of
this city come thirty one years. A'thorough,
practical Catholic, of edifyipg life, his chill
dren accepted with all of his own sincerity the
faith that he taught them, and hesitated not
to devste themselves wholly to the service OF
God. With joy he saw his only son, Joseph
enter the priesthood in the holy order of St.
Alpbonsps, aCd his only daughter embrace
religious life among the Sisters Of Holy Cross.
Tbough a remarkably prudent, sensible man
of business, Mr. Schwarz was full of .simpli-
oity. No vanity, ne pride, no worldliness
marred the en- ten nor of his conformity to Gods
will. Like child be lived, and, SO far as man
may judge, 80 he died, fulfilling that ipjuno-
tiou of the Master: Unless you become rs
little children you ehall not enter into the
Kingdom of Heaven

WORTRY OF IMITATION.
Editor Morning Star:

Editor Morning Star:
Every one who walked the streets of New
Orleans last Saturday, ssh September, must
have been edited at the religions devotion
shown by our Jewish fellow citizens, who cele-
brated on that day one of their solemn ami.
versaries. Some of our principal streets are'
occupied by the stores and offices of this class
of citizens, who are acknowledged to be mod
els of enterprise and activity in business; but
on the day in question 90 universal was their
abstinence from business that entire rows Of
stores were closed and many of our liVeliest
marts were quite deserted. These facts 81
tracted universal attention and provoked
many comments, but to me they seemed to give
q lesson that We Catholics should be quick 10
put in practice.
If Jews, whose very name to many minds is
the synonyme of money making, are willing
to give up whole day for the sake of theft
religious formalities, why should Catholics,
whom God has blessed with a knowledge OF
His one True Faith-and not a mere symbolic
form-hestate to make equal sacrifices for the
reality they possess
OF the 80 days in the year our Holy Church
prescribes only five to be observed here as extra
Holy-dsys of obligatory observance; and yet,
so absorbed are we in worldly affairs that
most of rs think the very wheels of commerce
would rust, and all cur families would starTs
were we to divert five days from business spd
devote them to TIE service OF God!
o how much we think of the world and how
little of 1.-The one thing necessary"
Now my proposition is that. on the comfs
! festivals of All Saints and the ImmacaSso
Conception, we Catholics OF Loaisiana sbA
not only fulfill the obligation of attending ths
! holy Mass, but also resolve heroicaHy to AS'
stain from all serriIs ,cOrks, stay away from

Russia The Catholics form the immense ma
jority of the population in the rural districts
of Lover Alsace, yet W whepever funds are to be

Last year, for instance, thirty-three Catholic
parishes received an allow of 81 $50 be-
tween them for repairing their churches,
whereas much as S4,10o was allowed to nine
Protestant communities for the came pnrpose.
Again, it is 81 that there are ten priests

priests to every Jewish rabbi; yet, last year,

Jews; yet in all the institutions which are
common to the three congregations we find

Perial College of Strasbourg counts no more

testsnts, and OF the teachers also the vast

Catholics are generally placed in a position of
iDferiority, and in every one thing the Govern
ment gives the preference to the Protestauts,
who form but the fifth part of the populstion.

Erring Brethren!
The logic of that phrase is simply that
might is right. If the South had succeeded
in its war the argument would have worked
the other way. There would have been no
" erring" on her side.
Error is not matter subject to final AT
bitrameut by the sword. Reason must fur
nish it's last solution. Public opinion is
the tribunal which come day will be sufi
cientlS enlightened to decide ultimately
whether the South was right or wrong in
it's estimate of State reserved rights. Pas
sion has a good deal to cay in the course of
an argument like that-passion and local
interest. During the war of el2 Massa-
chusetts could see the reserved right OF
secession without specs. Just ffey years
after,-in ls62. she bad grown so old as
not to see so WE'LL And she had no specs.
Experience may yet furnish her with q
medium clear enough to see the truth
again, or circumstances may bring 1t 30
near home to her that specs will be IN
necessary.
Whenever tyranrical general legislation
bears heaviiyea-ea particular section,
whenever the North or the Northeast or
the Northwest or the West finds itself
grievously and maliciously disseminated
against by the Federal Government, as the
South was, then that section of the country
will be able to see States rights in the
proper light, whatever that may be. After
several other great sections shall have un-
dergone political experience of Federal
similar to the experience of
the Southern States, even without its mil
itary accompaniment, then the country at
large may be said to have seen both sides
Of the question aud public opinion on its
merits will have become q capitalization
Of logical truth without the obscuring alloy
Of passion.
Then the great question of the ultimate
right and remedy of each State will be
till then.
In the meantime, it will be as useless as
mpertlnent 10 Walk OF 'efrlng OTelnEep.
We of the South do not believe that we
erred. We believe that we were perfectly
light, and we shall continue to believe so
until 1t can be shown that in case of Fed
eral usQrpa;ion there can be some other
remedy rs ethcacious as peaceful secession
would be. 1t is useless to reproach Us, to
argue with US, or to menace us. a man

OF the Fourteenth at st. Pat
riek's Hall.

Besides the military display and the cemetery
memorials, there couId be nc better celebration
of this ever glorious anniversary than that
held at st. Patrick's Hall on the evenings OF
| the 13,h and 14th.
There was q combination OF every worthy
element in the community, uniting in the e1-
preston of an unanimous sentiment OF devoted
patriotism.
Eye, ear, heart, and mind were all appealed
to, by means of beautiful, fairy like scenery,
choice music by well-trained performers, pat
riotio and pathetic addresses in prose and poe
try, and fually most eloquent arguments upon
the past, present, and prospective grandeur ei
our vigorous, growing Republic.
So varied indeed were the exerc ses OF this
most enjoyable entertainment that the de-
lighted audience seemed almost overwhelmed
by the very emSarras de richesse.
After the balcony brass band had loudly
greeted the arrival of the audience, the ex-
ercises VI ere preluded by an Overture perform
ed by Professor Gre1ling's Varieties Orchestra,
after which came the most interesting ceremony
of presenting the two handsome gold medals
to Mr.. Henry Guy Carleton, who was fairly
entitled TO them by virtue of his having writ
ten for the occasion the best poem and the best
humorous essay. both of which were read to the
audience.
This young gentleman is q son of the late
General james n. Carleton, U. S. Army, and
was himself for three years Lieutenant in
the Ssh L. g. Cavalry. Concerning his educa-
tion it is enough to say that it was acquired
under the Jesuit Fathers in San Francisco,
Cal where his family still reside.
His industrious application of his varied
capacities is worthy of all praise, and should
serve as q model to our youth. For besides
these two successful essays he wrote also q
third, which by some of the jcdges was con-
sidered not inferior in style to that of Mr.
Phelps. who secured the prize.
Aud in addition to all this literary work We
may here state that Mr. Carletop's eloquent
argument in the subsequent debate went far
towar6s winning the almost unanimous verdict
gained by his side of the question.
We sincerely hope many Of our young men
will emulate SO worthy an e1emplsr.
That our readers may share the enjoyment
of the audience, We give the poem read:
