We have been requested TO correct a
mistake that crept into our notice OF the
agency in this city OF those who are 30.
Letting aid for a church in Lourdes,
FranCe,-the place where the miraculous
apEaritiOn is said to have occurred. The
agents are Rev. John A. Reynolds, st.
Joseph's Cathedral, and Miss Mary i.
Jamison, No, Sc, 18th street. We observe
in the last Catholic Mirror that occasional
parties hereAbouts continue to evince
faith in the inducements held out to con-
tribute to this enterprise. These induce
ments are thus enumer Ated in the Mirror :
|. An association il established at
Lourdes, which purposes praying espe-
clally for those who cOntribate to the
construction OF the new parish sanctuary.
2. Every Saturday Mass is said at
the altar Of the Immaculate Conception
for all benefaCtors.
3. Every Sunday, at the close Of High
Mass, public prayers are offered for the
same intention.
We observe in the last published list a
contribution Of three dollars "irom n
mother in Washington, D. C., for souls in
Pnrgntory, deceased relatives and living
family" This mother reminds us not
little Of John Gilpin's wife, who even
under excitement chad frugal mind"
Her donation has the sweep Of general
appropriation bill In Congress. She
wants her moneys worth.

Grand Reception Of President
Hayes by The Union League.

New York, December 2l.-The Union
League Club looked at ia brightest TO-
night, and its splendid parlors were
probably seldom thronged with so distin,
guiphed an assemblage OF ladies and gen.
tlemen IA gathered there in honor Of the
reception to President Hayes. The rooms
were elaborately y decorated for the occa.
sion. The theatre Of the club, which
communicated by folding doors with the
art gallery, was tasteiully draped, and
rare flowers and shrubbery filled the
place with perfume and lent attraction 10
the scene.
The doors leading from the theatre TO
to the art gallery and from the latter to
the main reception room, facing on Mad.
ison avenue, were thrown open, and the
whole continuous space was where the
reception proper occurred. The saloon
was decorated with flags Of all the States
and picture Of President Hayes was
surrounded with United States flags.
Al o'clock the carriages began to ar.
rive by way Of Madison avenue, and after
depOsiting the occupants left by Fourth
avenue and 2Gth street, TO prevent coniu-
sion. From 7 o'clock until 8 the stream
Of carriages was unbroKen. The Presi.
dent and party arrived at half-past s,
which consisted Of President Hayes, Mrs.
Hayes, Bnrchard Hayes, Webb c. Hayes,
Miss Plat, Attorney General Devens, ex.
Assistant Secretary Mccormick and Mira.
They were all dressed in
full evening costume and were received
at the entrance by the Reception Com.
mittee.
The distinguished parties were at once
escorted to the reception parlOrs. Hon.
John Jay, President Of the Club, cordial.
ly greeted the President and his party
and gave them hearty welcome to the
Union League Club. The reception was
Of an informal character, and
no addresses we're made. Secretary.
Evarts and wife arrived shortly after The
Presidential party and.joined them in the
saloons. BY this time the rooms were
uncomiortably crowded and promenading
was diflicnIt.
After an hours pleasant conversation |
and prOmenading, during which the many
splendid paintings and works OF art
which adorn the walls OF the club were
an adjournment was taken to |
The banquet rooms on the floor below,
where M elegant collation. was partaken
Of. The President and party left shortly
before half.past eleven o'clock, and were
lriven TO the hotel. 1t was long alter
midnight before the last Of the many
,uests had left the saloons. The recep-
ion was generally considered one Of the
most agrees .e and successful ever given
y the club.
