Prosperous New Communities.

Some of the leading members of the
Catholic Church are inaugurating scheme
for the transfer of Irish laborers and their
families of our cities to the prairies of the
West, purchasing large tracts of land, to be
cut up and sold on easy terms to these colo
nlsts. Such scheme is eminently practi.
cable, and one which Protestant capitalists
and philanthropists can adopt with profit to
sturdy, industrious, God fearing Protestants,
with little capital of their own to invest,
and who have followed the plough in their
youth. Bishop Ireland the assistant Ro-
mish Bishop of st. Paul, and the Father
Mathews of MINNESOTA, has planted one or
two such colonies, and scattered all over
the State are townships, and in two or
three instances, counties settled by Irish
Catholics, gathered together, every man for
himself, by the ties of kindred and nation
allty. In Shakopee, Jordon and other Irish
Catholic towns, where Romanism and rum
go together, the sanctity of the Sabbath is
but little regarded, but where you find an
industrious Romish Irishman, who is a tee.
totaller, you generally find a worthy, pros.
porous citizen. Northfeld, in that State,
IS Protestant colony, settled by New
Englanders, temperance men all of them,
OF the Congregational faith, and has de.
veloped into one Of the prosperous towns
OF the State, with a rising college. In
Farbault, Bishop Whipple has, by his
schools, drawn around him strong Episco.
pal element, wealthy, educated and re-
fined. 1t is hard for many to part with
childhood friends, but when parties Of like
faith, with similar aspirations, unite and
cast their lots together in new land, with
| a church and schoolhouse in their midst,
then it was simply fighting the battle of life
in a new and better field, with kindred
minds and associates. Our friend, the U. s.
Consul at Jerusalem, when a citizen of Iowa
once told us of a New England colony, a
few miles from the Mississippi, which, he
| said, was better type Of New England
community fifty years since, than any YOU
| could now find in Yankeedom; where
poverty Is unknown, whose inhabitants
have grown up with the country an

The South should offer inducements fo
such colonies. There are thousands in thu

of sectionalism, and in colonies find happ,

HONEY DEw.-A correspondent of the

in which the busy bee has for gather.

what is called the honey dew. 1t is said to

the leaves, luxuriously lazy, slipping to

Senator Bayard.

Senator Bayard has got to the front Of
the Democracy in Congress. In the last
general caucus his counsels prevailed and
the majority party was rescued from all
revolutionary tendencies and placed in a
conservative attitude in the struggle with
the President and before the country.
Had the counsels of Bayard prevailed at
the opening of the present session there
would have been no serious issue between
the Executive and Congress-; the necessary
appropriations would have been promptly
passed, the army and legislative bills would
have been even more justly modified than
is likely now, the test oath for Federal
jurors would have been repealed, and
Congress would have adjourned two months
ago. Unfortunately, the temper of the
Democracy was not in accord with Senator
Bayards views when Congress met. 1t was
vain and arrogant, and revolutionary senti.
ments were common without rebuke; but
the sweet uses of adversely have brought
the party squarely in line with the ablest
and most consistent Of the Democratic
statesmen of the Senate, and there is now
q reasonable prospect of speedy termina
ton of the dead. lock between the branches
of the government. There are those who in
sist that it is q back down and that it is
uISuOnoFdole Ior u naJorlCy party III OOn
gress to back down but it must be con
sidered that it is much more honorable
to back down to the right than to back W
obstinately to the wrong. Congress started
under the worst impulses when the Presi
dent was as nearly right as he could be
and now when Congress has got nearly
right the President is right wrong; but M
measure of wrong by the Executive will
justify persistence in wrong by Congress
Every consideration of interest and patriot
ism demands the avoidance of needles
strife at Washington, and he who doe
most for peace will do most for himself, 70
his party and for the nation. Senate
Bayard now seems likely to win that honor

THE PANAMA CANAL.-M. de Lesseps is
not the sort of person to permit grass to
grow under his feet. Already he has the
Panama Canal Company in process of for
nation in accordance with a well-digested
scheme, and, if all goes well, the company
will have $S,000,000 in its treasury by the
end of the present year, and the actual
digging will be begun on the first day of
January, 1880. This promptness in getting
at his work gives the best possible assurance
that NJ. de Lesseps is most earnestly deter
mined to carry his work through.

sell calls for a friendly word by its wise
ethics and chaste expression.

No matter where we sail
A storm may come to wreck us
A bitter wind, to check us
In the quest for unknown lands,
And cast us on the sands
No matter where we sail.
Then, when my ship goes down,
What choice is left to me
From leaping in the sea-
And willingly forsake
All that the sea can take,
Then, when my ship goes down?
Still, in spite of storm.
From all we feel or fear
A rescue may be near
Though tempests blow their best,
A manly heart can rest
Still, in spite of storml
