Official Journal of the City of Jackson.
The morning star and Catholic messenger., 1878-06-30
Two Sides to q Medal.

Many travellers depiot the Catholic city OF
Paris % q veritable modern sodom, where
virtue is unknown, except in the bosows
OF the puritAnio travellers Themselves. But
happily there are o few viaitors-less self
righteous than the others-whose vision ex-
tends beyond those surrounding mists of Woe,
and discovers virtues 80 exemplary that their
very brightness seems to dazzle the beholder
and prevent his seeing darker phases. Such q
visitor Was the noble General Bartlett, whose
memoir was lately noticed in the STAR, and
who wrote thus of what he saw in Paris:
"Everybody in the streets good natured and
happy. ,,,,
other among the loctSt GLASSES, ls very striking.
could not help noticing, for example, on New
Years morning, there was a>blind man oppo-
site our windows in the Rue de Ia Paix, and
while the well-dressed and upper Glasses passed
him by with uncOncern-only one now and
then stopping to drop something into his hat
-Hot single poor person passed that way, with
ont bestowing his or her mite from their own
Rcanty store,-the woman with the big load on
her head, balancing it with ono hand, while
with the other she hunts in the ragged pocket
for Q copper sou the porter, hurry ing by, sets
down his load and drops into the hat q coin
with Q kindly word of greeting. It was very
touching, and have seen more of the same
traits."
Now, this one incident seems to establish
the WHirersality of charity among the lower
GLASSES of Paris and ~ these GLASSES form the
immense majority of the population, it fol-
lows that the PArisiars, as a people. instead of
bsing degradedly vicious, as too often repre-
sented by aippsnt sight.seers, are, on the con-
trary, true exemplars of the greatest of all the
virtues.
