SECURITIES.

Tho Diocese Of New Orleans, corporation
constituted under the !aws Of Louisiana. by
the name and style Of THE ROMAN CATHO-
Lie CHURCH OF THE DIOCESE OF NEW
ORLEANS" affords to its creditors securities
that nre both material aud moral.
As corporation legally instituted, II enjoys
all the rights and privileges Of civil body. IT
can contract debts, acquire. borrow. alienate
and mortgage its properties, whether movable
or immovabe under the prescription Of its
charter. At their meeting of January II. 1878,
the Council Of said Society unanimously deter
mined. for the reasons above stated. to issue. n t
the rate Of per cent. n single loan Of $3.50 900.
secured by special mortgage on all the mort
gageable real estate of the Dioeese: and there-
fore by deed dated January 2G, 1878 passed be-
fore @. do Armas. notary public in New Orleans,
the above resolution was carried into effect, by
the granting of n special mortgage on all the
mortgagaablo real estate Of the Diocese to secure
tho Bonds thus issued, which said mortg ge
was duly recorded. will appear by eartin
said aot In The office Of said notary.
Besides this solid guarantee. said cornorafinn
pladgas its honor and good faith for the faithful
discharge of the above obligations.

SUNNI

From what preeades it follows
That tho loan is negotiated with the sole
object Of liauditing al former debts.
That 1t represents the liabilities of the So
cietv nf the Roman Catholic Church. which are
thereby unified and consolidated with II ro-
duuNd interest.
That it is secured by special mortgage On
properties worth five times as much MS the
cient t. guaranteed both tho payment of Interest
and the redemption Of tho capital
Consequently the Mortgages Bonds Of the Dto-
rese nf New Orleans constitute first class in

cords we're removed as fast as put on; he
boldly expressed his intention of burning the
town as soon as released from prison. and
actually burned o hole in the Iloor Of the old
Jail here before he was removed, large enough
to admit the passage Of his body. and would

teegrapbed the authorities here to be on the

1t was our good fortune to be present at
the fete in honor of the safe arrival of the
Mother Vicar at the convent of the Sisters
of Mercy on Sunday evening the 18th in
slant. The audience room was filled by the
boarders and others whom the sisters invited
to the festival. Among the audience we
noticed Fathers Junger and Schram, and
Doctor Wall. When the curtain was drawn
Miss Minnie King, a lady boarlcr, stepped
from the platform and read an address to
the Mother Vicar, stating how glad the
ladies', who came from every side of the Ter
ritory to Vancouver to receive an education,
were to see again among them their dear
Mother The closing of the dialogue was a
prayer by Miss X. Padden, in which the
good God was asked to leave the lady stu
dents their mother This was followed by
a dialogue of fairies, among whom We no
ticed Miss Workman, Miss \. Walsh, Miss
b. Carly, Miss Katie Wall and Miss A.
O'keane
Next came the orphan girls address by
Miss Catherine McLorely, which was fol-
lowed by a dialogue in the French language,
in which the little speakers often mentioned
the name of "bon mere" and hoped that the
good Lord would give that "bon mere"
crown more beautiful than that woven with
chaste lilies. and sweeter than that en-
wreathed with roses; for this good mother
left all for the little orphans of Vancouver.
The orphan boys address was spoken by
Master Eddie Mcdonald.
At the conclusion OF the exercises the
Mother Vicar requested Father Juuger to
return her thanks to the lady boarders, the
day pupils, the orphan girls and the orphan
boys. which the father did in few, brief,
but eloquent words, in which lac assured
the children that their mother. the Mother
Vicar. loved them and devoted her life for
their veal, and the happiness Of all whom
God saw fit to visit with affection. The
speaker counseled the children to mind the
advice OF this mother, and their reward
would be happiness here below and an un-
fading crown hereafter
The closing address was then read by
Miss Minnie King. who requested holiday
from the mother, which request was granted.
The music was by the sisters, and con
sisted of French aud English airs to har-
NOME with the addresses and dialogues
