The Redemptoriss Mission at the Church of
st. BonifaHe, Third District, which closed on
the Goth March, was very successful in all re-
spects. As the Church Was built especially for
the German population of that section Of the
city, the exercises of the Mission were in Cor
man. At all the services the Church was
crowded, a fact which speaks volumes for the
fervor Of congregation which is scattered over
the immense area included between Elysian
Fields street and EsplAnade. large number
of persons who for years had not attended to
their religious duties, made their peace with
God and approached the SacrAments. Eight
hundred adults and a large number of children
received holy Communion during the Mission.
The Jealous pastor Of st. Bonifaoe's, Rev. J.
Koegerl, iS to be congratulated upon the
hourishing condition, both in matters spirit
| nal and material, of his parish. He has q Ane
congregation, pious and intelligent, and thor
oughly organised in Societies according to age
and sax; abeautiful church; q substantial soheel-
house, and fine school of over two hundred

Besides there children, forty little ones, too
young to walk the long intervening distance,
attend o school established in the neIRhbor.

If it be reasonable to judge person by the
character of his associates, we may Justly
form an opinion of people by the style Of the
literature they patronize. We are therefore
greatly pleased to hear that the canvass
throughout this city, for the Rev. Bernard
O'Reilly's splendid work "Heroic Women of the
successful. The fact is highly creditable to
our people, especially to the ladies of New
Orleans, the great majority of subscribers
being of the gentler sex, and furnishes the
strongest proof of their sound judgment and
cultivated tastes.
The work, in point of literary merit, interest
aud instructiveness, is one of the most notable
that has been issued for o number of years,
and that It has received, elsewhere throughout
the Union as well % here, the highest en-
oomiums from the Bishops and priests Of
Church, the press and the laity, and has been
most literally patronized in times Of such
great financial stingency as the present, are
compliments of which the distinguished author
may justly feel proud.
The work is issued in twenty-five monthly
parts at so cents each. When the subscriber
has received all his numbers he is presented
with an oleograph copy OF Nurillo's great
painting OF the Immaculate Conception.
Oleopraphs are made by q process that is
entirely new. They are taken on osn-
vass and are almost equal to oil paint
ings. This picture ie pronounced by all who
have seen it as by far the most beautiful ever
produced in this country and no one, with the
cash at command, would hesitate TO give $40
for it..

Inquiry having been made concerning the
Lottery of o lot of ground on Louisiana ave-
nue., for the benefit Of two little orphans now
in the Asylum of the Immaculate Conception"
We are requested to state that as soon as Sister
de Chantal will have finished selling the tickets
the drawing will take place. The lot was given
to two little orphans girls whom this venera-
BILE lady was Instrumental in placing in the
girls asylum, she herself being connected with
the boys asylum. Being anxious to do some
thing for the children, and knowing that the
lot would be sold for taxes unless disposed of
soon, she undertook to r6fie it. AS her time
is entirely occupied with her duties in conneo-
ton with the boys asylum she seldom has an
opportunity of offering the tickets for sale !;
notwithstanding this fact, however, she has
placed, since October last, 400 of the 700 print
ed. The Superior of the Immaculate Concep-
ton Asylum haa nothing ct ali to do with the
matter, and receives no pay in any shape what
soever from or for the girls.
The lottery is one Of those minor aots of Cha
rity with which the venerable Sister de Chan
tai recreates herself during the few moments
| not necessarily devoted to her great misaion-a
species of fringe to her grand life of self sscri
Ace-and that she will do justiCs to all no one
| who knows or ever has heard of her oan doubt
for one second. We may state, in conclusion, that
should anyone think the drawing too long
postponed, upon presentation of the tickets
purchased, at the STAR Office or to Sister Chan
tai, the money will Do returned.

" Castle Daily the Story Of an Irish Homo Thirty
Years Ago."

This story, which will commence in our next
issue Sunday, l4th,) is one to which We wish
t. call the attention of all eur readers. Any one
who reads the first chapter cannot fail to be
charmed with the refinement of the thought,
the beauty of the descriptions and the grace
full pathos Of the varied Incidents. It is no oom-
mon story, such as those which are made start
ling by conspicuous headlines, and which
abound in sensational situations and dubious
morality. Castle DAILY is touobingly pure and
beautiful, and reveals the msster-hand in all
it's lines Of thrilling interest and pathetic ten
derness. 1t is story which can be read over
and over again most lovingly, and every time it
is perused, the heart swells anew and the eyes
fill afreOh We are not going to give the plot, nor
describe the characters, nor unfold the moral
We only wish to bespeak attention to it, 80
that our readers, knowing the treat in store,
and being thus prepared, may not overlook
any of it's opening chapters.

The Rosa D'Erina Concerts.

Last week Mademoselle Rosa d'ErinR gave
two entertainmets at the st. John the Baptist
Church under the auspices of the st. Vincent
de Paul Conference.
The rain, which poured incessantIy from an
early hour in the evening till after nine o'clock
Sunday night, dreuched the several hundreds
whose zeal drew them to the spot, and pre-
vented the attendance Of large numbers who
had been Influenced by the good spirit abroad
to compliment the accomplished lady and help
the cause Of charity by their attendance.
The second concert took place on the oven
ing of Tuesday, and was given with o change
of programme before large audience Of at
tentive and intelligent listeners. The enthu-
siasm which, ON each occasion, swayed the
spectators and uncontrollably vented itself in
applause, was restrained to some extent by q
reflection upon the sacredness of the place /;
but could have been confined within due bounds
only by an appeal from the respected pastor
himself, that the music and the melody should
be heard with interior appreciation alone. This
is one of the disadvantages under which the
deserving artist must necessarily labor in .
church but the business and seemlipess Of
which is 80 we'll understood aud universally
admitted by the Christian intelligence.
As q sopgstress, Rosa d'Erina has voice lof
vast volume and variable capacity softened by
much sweetness of tone, and made agreea-
BILE by o concordsnt richness of sound-which
pleases the heart SO much, 30 as to leave dis
inclination in the mind to hunt up matter for
any adverse criticism that might be instituted.
The lady's articulation attended to with
little more oloseness, and some matters of
minor note in the song could, however, have
been mentioned to the hearers satisfaction
and, perhaps, the singers own good in subse-
qusnt efforts.
1t may be observed here that person of
either sex, appearing before q community in
the character of an artist of first-class attain
IN ent becomes, by the fact, a legitimate subject,
in all friendlinesss for intelligent criticism.
Rosa d dErins could, with little effort on her
part, lift herself as high in the public estima-
tion az q vocalist, she has placed herself
there in the position of instrumental musician.
She has talent ard capacity for the finest
possible execution upon the organ, and an ad
mirable versatility OF genius for adaptation to
the several other instruments che employs.
Mademoiselle Rosa having now already done
so much for the promotion of other interests in
our oity, it is gratifying to note the setting on
foot Of an enterprise which promises to reach
results alike honorable and profitable to
herself, at no distant day. EMRRA1D.

Rome.

We still continue to be afflicted with
absurd kilograms from Rome. They are
glaring caricatures. Thus one man tel
egraphs that there is faction of Cardi-
nails hostile to the Pope. There is no
doubt that among seventy men there will
always be differences of opinion upon mat
ters Of mere policy. One of the grounds
mentioned As those upon which the sup.
posed hostility is based, is that Leo XIII.
has not formally communicated to the de-
posed sovereigns his accession to the
Papacy. If this refers to the deposed
Italian kings and princes, it may amply
mean that the Pope does not consider il
incumbent on him 70 interfere in the tam
poral affairs of men further than to pro-
test against wrong and brand it as such.
II the Italian people prefer a United Italy
if they have achieved that end by q
revolution that was indefensible on moral
grounds and the Pope has not the physical
means of rightipg the wrong, he can bal
denounce it; he cannot perpetually ignore
its results.

It 10 . curious comment on the shallowness
of ambition, that the decrease in German trade
or in German profits on trade, during tho years
which have followed the war, is equal to the
amount OF tho war indemnity which Germany
axaoted from France. Last year was an ex-
oeptionally bad one for all branches of German
productive industry; and the prospects fer
this year are alarming, indeed worse than they
have been for seven years. Hence there is a
natural desire for peace, at the sacrifice OF
some military strength. The armed laborers
and artisans of Germany have begun to dis
oover-perhaps it may not be too late-that
military power is not necessarily prosperity,
nor are war indemnities pledges OF wealth.

From what precedes, 1t follows.
That the loan is negotiated with the sole object
hquidAting all former debtsi
That it represents the liabilities Of the "6Ocety Oh
the Roman Catholic Church which thereby uHinsd
and consolidated with . reduced interest;
That it is secured by special mortgage on proper
ties worth ave times aB nuSh the ount boEEnNoa
and therefore amply sufficient to guarantee both the
payment Of interests and the redemption OF the capital
Consequently, the Mortgage Bonds Of the Diocese Of

pendenty OF the honesty OF the means
which led to them. The present condition
of political power in Mexico, already quite
unsettled, will never be made more so by
scruples as to the conquest by Cortez.
Even 40 to properties which have been
lswlessly taken from the Church herself,
In many cases the wrong has grown too
old to be now corrected. Millions of acres
of land in England, for instance, now
belonging to private persons were formerly
the property of Religious Orders and were
ruthlessly and wickedly torn from their
possession without com pensation. But this
was more than three hundred years ago.
Many innocent purchasers have since paid
full vslue for them in good faith. Their
original title was not good, but prescription
has made it SO, and though the Church were
now In the enjoyment of the amplest inhu-
ence in Epgland, sbe would not for mo-
ment think of interfering with that pre-
scriptive right.
Victor Emmanuel WAS guilty of gross
usurpations in carrying out his Italian
policy. 1t was wrong. The Pope stigmatized
his wrongs az such and while there was
some chance of q reaction it was proper for
him to recognize the political rights Of de-
posed rulers. But the time may come when
it would be absurd to recognize such rights,
when they viii have utterly lapsed and be-
come prescribed. Already if Pope Leo dis
covers the impress of permanence on the
work of national unity, why keep up the
ceremony of recognizing claims which are
becoming but nominal Every wise man
must conform his conduct to the inevitable.
God himself may desire the unity that has
resulted, though censuring the means " hich
led to it.
But it would be most illogical to infer
rom such a line of policy on the part of
the Pope thai it could give rise to hos
titity on the part of any Cardinals, or
could imply the slightest acquiescence in
;he loss of his own temporal power. His
position is very different from that of de-
posed potentates who stand merely on their
lights, unsustained by any hope of ma
erial assistance. They have no followers,
10 adherente, no resources, no pernanence
The Pope belongs to dynasty which will |
'ndure in plenary power through all time |
With or without the temporal possessions.
de counts his adberents by the hundred |
devoted adherents. His |
ause is the cause of the Catholic peoples, |
nd he knows not at what moment they |
nay demand even from United Italy that |
lis temporalties be restored and respected. |
There is no prescription in his case.
As to the Cardinals, they know we'll |
enough that Leo XIII is not going to be-
ray his trust; they have no cause for CEN
uring his policy on point so vital as that, |
md certainly difference of opinion, if |
nch really exists, upon questions of local |
leighboring politics cannot hove produced |
IN open rapture. As usual, the kilograms |
rom Rome are totally distorted and unre- |
liable.

During the crisis which followed Of secession
and which weighed heavily the State OF Louisiana
the Administrators Of the Diocese Of New Orleans
assumed liabilities which they have determined to
qutdate In the past year . better state Of affairs

secure, are nevertheless limited, for such society
cannot look for eventual profits contingent under
takings in specuAtons altogether inconsistent with
its mission Of benevolence and charity.
Therefore 1t 10 not with view Of creating new debt
that this loan is negotiated but order unity and
consolidate anterior liabilities and obtain their gradual
and regular extinction by Of the ordinary
