The Lottery.

The daily papers of this city have some
how forgotten to call attention to an i'm
portant bill that's having a most remark
able career in the House of Representatives.
We refer to the bill for the repeal of the
"Lottery law" The history of the struggles
of this bill is quite exciting. The stirring
episodes of it's eventful existence up to this
moment rival those of even Buffalo Bill
or any other BILL
The Louisiana Lottery is known to be
one of the most disgraceful blots upon the
moral life of our fair city, as it is one of the
most ruinous of all those vile monopolies
which an infamous government of thieves
has left as legacy TO long suffering
public.
The present Legislature has been elected
especially and ostensibly as a reform body.
One would suppose that about the fret
thing it would dc, to the neglect of every
thing else, would be to annihilate the most
immoral of all the monopolies; yet the
regular session passed without anything
effected in that way, and the called session
10 rapidly waning without the achievement
of much headway.
We must here remark that the bill which
is intended to effect this much needed re-
form is not, however, without friends, and
We would do injustice if we did not cal
attention to the fact that among the mos
effective and urgent of these are Mr.. Johr
Fitzpatrick and Gov. Voorhies. 1t will Ger
tainly not be their fault if the iniquity
is not crushed promptly and finally.
We do not say, indeed, that it will be any
body's fault. Ofcourse not because, is no
this reform LegislatureR Can any bod,
there be subsidized to fillibuster and NOV,
adjournments satinopportune times Neithe
do We blame the daily papers for overlook
ing trifling items of this kind, when thei
space is 30 much crowded with paying ad
vertisements. But what we want is t,
have the yeas and nays called at every
stage of the repeating bill.

The First Fruit.

Senator Conkling is reported as having
expressed much soIicitude about the impen-
ding election of a long term Senator from
Louisiana. lie said that it would be regarded
as the FIRST fruit" of the Hayes pacification
policy and made a test of it's merits. If per
sou known to be moderate and conservative
10 his views should be chosen, it would be
regarded as a concession on the part of the
Louisiana Legislature, response to the
friendly advances of Mr.. Hayes; if, on the
Contrary, an old political hack and parti-
can extremist should be elected Senator.
the Legislature would be considered to
have taken its stand among the irreconcil-
ables.
This is a very different proposition from
that announced to be forthcoming in which
our Legislature would be called on to stul.
tify itself by the election of a Republican
to the Senate. Such q demand would in
vOlve humiliation that might be considered
inConsistant with the self respect and dig
nifty which men are never at liberty to
waive. Bat q choice between q moderate
and an extremist as the representative of

In some Of the Diooeses of Ireland the Lenten
regulations arc not much more rigorous than in
this country. For instance, in Kerry the Bishop
| prescribes:
l. BY the general law of the Church, the
| faithful are obliged to fast on one meal and
collation. on all the days of Lent, except on
Sundays From this law are excepted persons
| under the age of twenty-one, as we'll as those
| who are feeble from old age women pregnant
| or nursing, those whose state of life ObligeS
them to bodily labor, and the poor, who San
not provide every day complete and Substsn-
tial meal.
2 The general law of the Church prohibits
the use of flesh meat daring the forty days OF
Lent. Using, however, the powers of dis
pensation granted to us by the Holy Sec, We
require you to abstain from flesh meat only on
Wednesdays and Fridays, and on the Saturday
of Ember week.
3 You are bound to abstain from all white
meats on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
4. Persons bound to fast are not allowed 70
use butter, eggs, or N eat at their collation.
5. Fish and meat are not ALLOW at the same
meal.

The January number of the "Annals OF
Lourdes" gives summary of the principal
events at the grotto during the past year.
Amongst the pilgrims to the shrine are reck-
oned sixty.nine bishops, archbishops aud car
dinals. Over one hundred and sixty one thou
sand pilgrims came in organized PROFESSIONS,
whilst the number who came in detached
groups exceeded two hundred thousand. Up-
wards CT thirty-seven thousand Masses were
celebrated in church and grotto. The mum Der
OF Communions could not be calculated, but
considering that in the preceding year they
numbered over quarter of q million, it is
thought that nearly half million approached
in 1876 the holy table. The Annals give an ac
count of the spread of the devotion to Oar
Lady of Lourdes in all parts of the world, and
states that miraculous cures frequently take
place at the grotto and elsewhere by use of the
waters of the fountain.

ST. ALpHoNsUs' TOTAL ABSTINENCE AssocIA
1IoN.-Last Sunday evening the regular meet
ing of this fourishing organization was held
in st Alphonsus' Hall. Rev. Henry Giesen,
pastor of St. Alphoneus' Church, was present
for the first time as Spiritual Director, and ad-
Dinistered the pledge to several gentlemen.
After this he gave short conference to the
members, and an interesting account of the
manner of the election of the Supreme Pontif.
He requested the members to attach their sig
natures to the list on the Secretary's desk,
which list would be forwarded to Rome, as an
evidence of the flial devotion and love Of the
signers for the Holy Father.
Father Giesen stated that as Cardinal Man
ming had obtained from His Holiness plenary
indulgence for the faithful of his diocese who
should receive the Sacraments worthily, and
abstain from Intoxicating drink on Christmas,
80 in like manner could the members of st.
'Alphonsus' Society gain plenary indulgence
by abstsinipg from Intoxicating liquor on the
feast of st. Patrick.
We are pleased to note Father Giesen's con-
neotion with this Association, for he has ever
been q most jealous advocate of the cause of
Total Abstinence. On all his missionary tours
throughout the country he has raised his
voice in favor of the Total Abstinence move
ment and recommended the formation of socie-
ties wherever possible.
hr. VIM. o Neil was elected delegate to the
State Union, to succeed our jealous young
