WHEAT-Receipts continue to be active,
particularly from local farmers, but just now
very little wheat remains long in store, as
shipments are prompt, buyers preferrlng. to
take advantage OF the present market to hold
ing for rise that may not come. Alter lake
navigation is closed, and freight rates by rail
advanced, it is probable that buyers will be-
gin at this point, where unusually favorable
facilities are offered, and that, as heretofore,
every store house on the line of railroad
within radius of 100 miles of St. Paul will
be storehOuse OF grain OF which the elevators
here are only the distributing agents, OF, more
properly speaking, the clearing houses OF all
the interior warehouses. Whatever amount
of wheat, or any other grain, which is in store
at any point OF the country, can easily be sold
here to millers and shippers; and interior
owners, as soon as their proper warehouse re-
ceipts have been sent forward, have no fur

PRIZE LITERARY EXERCIsEs.-So much in
terest has been manifested with regard to
this subject, and SO many people are anxious
to attend the entertain ment, that the managers
thereof have decided to engage st. Patricks
Hall for two evenings September l3th and
14th, 1877. The programme for the first even
ing will consist of the reading of the prize
poem, the prize essay and prize humerous
sketch each being read by the successful COM
petitor or by any person whom the author may
select. Then will follow very interesting
debate, which will be ably sustained by the
| participants, Messrs. Heney, Carlton, Ssntini
and Richardson. The fn&ie will consist of
| few tableaux.
The evening of the 18th of September will
be devoted to military exercises and tableaux
| commemorative of the 14th of September, 1o7A,
the most Impressive of VIII will be " Green
| woods Shaft and "Our Fallen Heroes''
There will lie several beautiful tableaux by
| children also songs, recitatiors and comical
military representations. There will be music
both evenings. We would remind our readers
that the proceeds OF tie entertainment are to
be devoted to the cout.nuauce Of work upon
the ne St. Stephens Church, Napoleon Ave.
nne Tue price of admission has been fixed at
fifty ceuts each evening.

dynasty each being -sbeftliEed is -natu=
rally inclined to tinker with the problems
that present themselves. There is no
question to be dealt with 10 one in which
the whole people take an earnest interest,
the Government 10 cautious, prudent aud
generally wise. Its party is on probation
and the politicians instinct of self-preser-
vation affords an incentive to discretion
fully as powerful as any that moves a
royal cabinet.
But wherever the people are Indifferent,
then the tinkering comes in and all kinds
of foolish expedents are tried by way OF
experiment. Witness the Quaker inven-
tions of U. s. Grant. Would the Republi-
can party have risked such stupidity if the
people bad cared about the Indian ques-
ton Certainly not.
But humanity demands that the people
wake up to the gravity of that question.
The system adopted by the Government
hitherto has been q national disgrace and
will leave an indelible stain upon our
history.
The world will know-the fact cannot
be disguised from it-that all this cruelty,
all this bloodshed, all this warning with
weak and pitiful tribes was totally unnec-
essary. Everybody will know that few
Catholic missionaries like Father De Snet
and his colleagues could have easily check
ed any Iawlessness among the Indians ii
allowed to see justice done them.

THE BENEDICTINES IN NORTH CARO-
LIMA.

From letter dated " st. Mary of Help, Gas
ton County, North Carolina" to the Freeman's
Journal we take these extracts:
This is Priory of the Benedictine Order,
established by and under the Jurisdiction Of
RI. Rev Bonifacius WINNER, Abbot of St.
Vincent's Monastery, Westmoreland County,
Pa, situated in CASTOR Comfy, twelve miles
west of Charlotte, and within one mile of the
nearest depot on the Air Line Railroad, having
the Caroline Central Railroad q short distance
communication with all our public thorough
fares. The lands lying on the banks of the
majestic Catawba, are magnificent domain,
we'll timbered, and rich in golden ore. This is
the Southern valley of the Blue Ridge chain
of mountains Spencer's Mountain is in
sight, whose base, laved by an off5hoot of the
Catawba, sings it's anthems day and night, and
Mary's.
The soil, though cot alluvial, is productive
of all the cereals, fruit and cotton. The cli-
mate is one of the most healthy on earth, in
the opinion of many of our most eminent ply
siciaus. Nowhere in the world could be found
situation better adapted for the object for
which it is intended. 1t is a donation to the
Benedictine Order of Rev. Dr.. J. j. OConnen,
whose name is household word in the South.
The Very Rev. DR.. Hermann Wolfe is our
worthy Prior, six. footer, a convert, and an
ex-Confederete soldier He has also in charge
several churches in CASTOR and adjoining
counties, one of them near Concord, Cabarras
County, where the congregation are all con-
verts and of German descent. His long W hite
beard gives him a patrarchal aspect. He is
assisted by Father Joseph Keller and number
of lay brothers. Your old friend, DR.. j. J.
OConnell, represents the secular element of
the priesthood very fairly.
The existence of this institution is start
ling fact to those who knew this mission
twenty years ago. 1 can imagine how Bishop
Lynch and his great predecessor rejoice. 1t is
grand proof of the growth of the Catholic
Church in North Carolina, of the zeal of our
| dear Bishop Gibbons. aud of the fidelity of the
Benedictine Order to its primitive spirit and
| vocation.

The Scourue of War.

War is always classed with pestilence
and famine as scourge from God. When
the nations have filed their measure of ain,
punishment comes. We see now in the
East great struggle pending. 1t truly
q death struggle, for each side throws its
whole impetuosity into the contest and
but little mercy is exhibited by either.
Turks have not much claim on Christian
sympathy they are fanatical, treacherous
and cruel; but Russia is very little better,
if at all. Her persecution of Christians is
as fierce and unrelenting as that of the
Moslems. 1t fact it is more inexorabie.
The Turk is amenabe to the influence OF
bribes and Establishments /; the Russian
stops only at submission.
The fate of this war has been waveriDg
in the balance. The Turk is braver and
better soldier than The Russ, but in the
long run weight is s?t 10 prevail. Numbers
are with the Car. His generals have
shown themselves Incompetent to plan a
campaign, but even blunders eventually
lead to wisdom. Tie great question OF any
modern war is generally the purse. Even
with the best OF the f ght the Turkish army
may suddenly fail of ammunition or food,
Then Copetaptipople is at the Cars feet
unlees some other power interferea.
Who can foresee the outcome that God
shall give this contest9 1t may be that
the scourge will ta'l only npon the two
parties now engaged, or it may be that the
day is upon US when all those who have
Joined hands in robbing the Church and
dishonoriDg Gods Vicar shall be taught
practically the great lesson which they
refuse to learn from history: Cursed is the
spoliator aud the impous.

Our Indian Policy.

Our national policy towards the Indian
tribes of the Northwest is one Of treacheTy
and brutality. First the Governments
agents swindle them and goad them into
kind of frenzy then the Governments SOL
diers are called on to kill them if an out
break has resulted. Many of these tribes,
too, had shown the best dispositions. They
have been peaceful, friendly, inclined to
industry and desirOus of progressing in
civilized practices. There can be no doubt
whatever that with an English or French
government over them they would have
maintained their peaceful attitude and
been finally elevated to a certain degree of
civilization, while in our hands they have
been goaded on to the most desperate
extremities.
For this the American people are to
blame. 1t is we'll known that our Govern
ment has no special foreign policy. In
monarchies there is a fixed, traditional
foreign policy as hereditary as the crown.

1. f., A RAILROAD IN THE REAR OF THE FOURTH
DISTRICT.

Editor Morning Star; as..ys
notice that the necessity of railroad run
ming through the rear of the tenth and eleventh
wards has been brought to the attention of the
Press, and that expression of public opinion"
has, with its usual enterprise in all public
measures, advocated in strong terms the extern

In the district bounded, say, by Melpomene,
Franklin, Louisiana Avenue and the swamp
there are no railraod accommodations what
ever yet in that district reside large portion
of our most worthy citizens:
In building railroad, or in undertaking any
enterprise requiring the outlay of money and
the payment of current OK penses, the frst and
most important question asked by the capital
ist is, "WiH it pay?' and unless he.considers
that it will pay, ne will not advance dollar
towards the undertaking, though everybody
declares it to be publi necessity, etc. Capi-

it will pay, we will not have q railroad in the
rear of the frst, tn and eleventh wards.
WiH It pdyY To enter into that question and

require more space % than even your courtesy

no doubt. Let the company consider for one

part of town is rapidly being built up; let
them consider that there here no railroad

said road triH pay.
There are many people in this part of the
city who would ride dozen times on the ex-

on any line. Railroad accommodation would +,
of ITSELF be such improvement as would
| induce many people to make this vicinity their
| homes, because of economy or reduced oircum-
| stances, but who would not live away from
| railroad communication.
The people want the road, and they will
literally pstronize it. BRASS TACxs.

Last Tuesday, the Rev. Chaplain otthe Homo
of the Little Sisters of the Poor, Father LEGO
zic, blessed the ground. upon which the new
wing to the building lie to be erected. He was
assisted by Rev, Fathers Koergerl, Bogaerts, and
others. Before the ceremony the old folks
enjoyed great treat in the shape of q fine
dinner at which they were waited on by the
Rev. Fathers.
We understand that it is the intention of the
Sisters to commence builing the new wing
Immediately. The building as it stands now,
two-thirds complete, accommodates only $50
old persons, ard as every place is filed many
deserving applicants have to be refused ad-
mission. The completion Of the new wing will
enable the Sisters to receive 100 more helpless
and deserted old people. We trust that the
public will come generously to the assistance
of the Little Sisters in their noble undertaking.

A Japanese paper-the Hoohi- 1chinbum-gives
distressing account of the misery at present
prevailing in Corea The people are dying by
thousands from want of food When vessel
enters tn e port laden with rice, or provi-
sions of any kind, it is at once surrounded by
bands of hungry natives, who endeavor to
seize its contents, and blood is frequently shed
in keeping them OFF. Food is, it is true, dis
tributed by the Government to the poor every
ten days, on the 10th, goth and 30th of each
month but the amount at the disposal of the
authorities is utterly insufficient to feed the
multitude Of supplicants. The horrors of dis
ease and pestience have also been added to
those of famine, and the bodies of the dead lie
in the streets for days. In the northern pro-
vinces of China, also, famine is reported to
have set in; but there the Government has
greater resources to assist the sufferers.

We have once before noticed these excellent
catechisms, and need only now refer to the
obligation resting upon every Catholic of in
struoting himself and his family in the doc
tripes of the Church and the History of Reli
gion.
These can be learned most thoroughly in
the two works before MS; both of which are
free from dryness, tediousness, and obscurity
and, while instructive to the sincere Christian
are also interesting to the intelligent and

The efforts being made by some of the Bish-
ops and Catholic newspapers at the North to
discourage large and expensive funerals, do
not seem to meet with much success. And how
can it be otherwise when some of the very pa
pers. that publish the longest and strongest
editorials denouncing these expensive funer-
ais, prove the hollowness of their professions
by giving extended accounts of "grand funer-
ais, etc." and even go 30 far as to state that
"the esteem in which the deceased was held
was made manifest by the large number of
carriages etc, etc." AS an instance we may
cite the funeral of an excellent clergyman who
died in Chicago recently, and at whose funeral,
says the local Catholic paper, the carriages
numbered 2o3, and the buggies, SO. making q
procession OF 239 vehicles"
