The Nstohitoches, La, TindicGtor, of a recent
date, says:
The cotton pickers are still in demand to
gather the "6eecy staple" at prices the same
as last quoted, as cents per hundred weight.
The rapid opening Of the crop has prevented
ginning, and in consequence the delivery has
been much less than last year. Harvesting of
corn, now that the storm has blown down q
great quantity, has occupied the farmers
during the past week. The yield holds ont
even beyond anticipation. This will be the
first year that q sufficienoy of corn has been

We are pleased to learn that the splendid
college of the Marist Fathers, formerly known
as st. Mary's-Jefferson College, now called
simply Jefferson College, opened this year
under more favorable auspices than for several
years past. Several new and experienced
professors have been added to the always ex-
cellent corps, and the number of students is
larger than that at the opening of any pre-
vious session. The college is situated on the
banks of the Mississippi at College Point, in
the Parish of st. James, only sixty odd miles
from this city, and in point of accessibility as
in all other respects offers unsurpassed ad-
vautages.

EnqIand's Deeadence.

The man who is to stand on broken arch
London bridge and sketch the ruins of St.
Paul's may be getting ready to be born much |
sooner than Macauley dreamed of when he |
penued his prophecy. Eugland's cotton |
mills have been, no doubt, of immense |
value to her, but the backbone of her
internal strength was the great coal and
iron interest. The smoke from her thou
sand furnaces rose as perpetual banners OF
grim strength and her mountains echoed
With the clangor of countless forges. The
whole world was tributary to her in the
purchase of steel and iron whether in mass
or manufactured into tools, weapons, ma
chinery, engines and ships.
But of late years all this has changed.
Continental naUions of Europe have i'm
mensely extended their iron works and now
rival English workmanship in everything
from pin to the complete equipment of
railroad. Worse than all, America has
developed capacities in this line that must
not only render the United States entirely
inaccessible as q market for British steel
and iron goods, but must make her dan
gerous rival in foreign markets.
/ The difficulties of England in this regard
are threefold--as to coal, as to iron and as
to labor. Coal is twice as dear as formerly.
Though there is still a great deal of it in
the island it is only accessible at great
depths and heavy expense. Iron too has
to be mined with far greater difficulty than
formerly, while in the meantime prices for
the manufactured article have considerably
diminished. This being the gloomy situa'
ton, matters were rendered worse by the
temper of operatives. Trade-unions were
formed, strikes inauguarated and suller
diecoutent took possession of the laborine
people. Proprietors were obliged to Gloss
their works or reduce wages operatives
, would not listen to a reduction and manu-
facture was stopped. All over England
and Wales great iron works stand idle ant
=, huge chimneys rear their SUBMITS into ar
atmosphere uucontaminated by smoke.
1t is true that the fatal delusion which
has controlled the trade unions may b'
:, finally dissipated and starvation may bring
workmen back to forge and factory, bu
nothing can bring back the supremacy
which spoiled rybody. Nothing cal
bring back the coal which has been burneG
and the ore which has been smelted. Moth
ing will hide the boundless deposits of Goa
and iron discovered in the United State
OF destroy the skill acquired by American
= French and German iron workers. On tn
g contrary, England will soon be found a
V such a disadvantage in the price of tn

CATHOLIC COLONY FOR THE TEcHE CoUN-
TRY.-A young gentleman of this city some
time ago decided to give up business here and
move to the Teohe country. In the course of
negotiations already entered into he has found
that land in email parcels cannot be obtained
on anything like the same advantageous terms
that large tracts are offered at. Being desir-
Gus also of having neighbcrs of the same faith
rs himself, he hAa determined to make an
effort to establish colony of Catholics in
that section of the State. With this object,
in view he is anxious to meet ten fifteen
men who woald like to eettle in the country
aud who have not less than $500 capital.
Letters addressed to the care of this Office will
be transmitted to him, and he will call meet
ing at the earliest day possible.
1t is proper here to state that the gentleman
referred to is man of the highest character
for integrity, energy, and good sound common
sense. He has family and intends to invest
all that he owns, something over 81 500, in
home in the Teche conntry, whether his col
ouy scheme succeeds or not.

NOVEMBER.


and drear November" has been set aside by
our Holy Church for the benefit of the dead +
Of all who die in the Lord. The Christihn
family is q large one; but che who is the cofn-
mon mother of all, does not forget one OF Her
numerous chadren. The Saints are Ter joy /;
and on their glorious festival she thanks God
with solemn pomp and prayer for all Che
graces bestowed upon them. Her children Pn
earth are her constant care. She speaks tb
them daily. guiding their footsteps, blessing
| their actions, pardonipg their sins, and Lead
ing them Heavenward.
But she has still another band of beloved
onea, children, whose names, perhaps, are
forgotten by every one, whose memories have
no place in any human heart, but to whom
she olings with all mothers -unfaltering
affection.
These are the souls in Purgstory-the men,
bers of the Church suffering, holy and sancti-
fed souls, but which not yet permitted to
enjoy the rapture of the Bealfc Vision For
these she has also special day Of commemo-
ration-of prayer and sacrifice. She strips
from her affairs the bright flowers that adorned
them on the festival of All Saints; and in
robes of mourning and with voice of as,ef
she ffers up the Adorable Sacrir les fnr ali her
sofering children. Bat rot content with a
passing thought sue epjoins the remembrance
oi l 'pese '-<.sr ones upon the rest of her flock
'-roOghoas the entire month.
| Tho dreary dark November seems to be a
| month peculiarly adapted to this commemora'
| tion Of the dead, of those who in exile and
tears are waiting for the passing away of
winter and the bright dawniug of eternal
spring.
Sublime coincidence of Nature and of Gods
Holy Church! Nature weeps because of her
| persisted flowers, her skies are draped in
sombre clouds, and her voice walls in mourn
| fal lamentations.
| The Church, too, seems to forget for q while
that she has a happy band of Saints in Heaven,
that there are heroic Rouls on earth who give
her honor. With streaming eyes and sobbing
voice, she lifts her hands to God and suppli-
Gates His mercy and compassion for these
her silent, suffering, nameless ones. AS
though they were dearer than the others,
she weeps and mourns and intercedes all
through this month of gloom and desolation
Her flowers must be restored to bloom and
beauty, they must lift their dropping heads
in Heavens sunny olime, they must exhale
again the perfume of q perfect bliss. This is
her November mission, and she calls upon all
her children to join with her in supplicstions
for the dead-that they may live again in
Gods immortal bowers, "in brighter light and
softer airs, q beauteous sisterhood ~
Bryant tells us that "tbe cold November rair
oalls not from out the gloomy earth the lovel!
, ones again." Bat the prayers of our Hol,
, Church, united with the Adorable Sacrifice
upon her alters and blended with the suppl
cations of all her faithful, can indeed call frou
the gloomy realms of Purgatogy the dear an
lovely ones who, patiently awaiting tn
mercy of their King, still entreat their friend
on earth to remember them before His foot
3 stool and to have pity on them, eat least ye
o my friends!"

but ia also adapted to the of all persons
who desire to understand the grounds of their
