After much weary labor upon the
chaotic finanaial affairs of Archbishop
Purcell the trustees whom he called TO
his assistance some two months ago
have completed their report, which has
been given to the public. 1t is brief, but
circumstantial, and discloses the fact
that the liabilities of the archbishop
amount to $3,s74, 371, (which $S5, 900,
is secured by mortgages. The assets, in
addition to the real estate, which has
been assigned by the archbishop's broth
er, have a nominal value of $4S4, 900.
The trustees find it hopeless task to
determine where the money went, or
how much was spent on the cathedral
seminary and orphan asylum. The col.
lapse is attributed to heavy interest, bad
investments, shrinkage in values and
want Of business management. The
trustees close their report by asking the
substantial aid Of the faithful through
out the country to provide for the relie
of those who by the failure have beer
deprived of the support they had Sc
aside for their old age. The creditor
number about $500, and their claim
average about 81 900 apiece. The faith
fal wil hsye to ''chalk up" for the oil,
lman's weakness.

The Louisiana Democracy is afflicted
with family jars. The leaders quarrel
with each other, with the governor, and
with the people. The latest jar was an

the Republic says: 1t seems likely
that the Republican party will be the

come the representative of the most adj

As such it must insure the reforms

BE mEnnx.wHrLE YOU CAN.

There's a crook in every lot"
A shadow on the rOac
Through which we journey on to reach
A happier abode.
AS surely as the evening comes
To close the eye of day,
Will grief appear; and so my dear,
Be happy while you may.
We cannot say to joy Remain"
Nor unto grief depart"
The morning and the night must come
To every human heart.
And though the twilight hour dispels
The cheerful, sunny rays,
Shed not tear; but oh my dear,
Be merry while you may.
The sky may not be always bright,
The sea not always calm,
Nor breezes spring on argosy
OF spices or of balm.
'Tis time enough to weep and mourn
When sorrow has its day;
And you'll agree tits well to be
Right merry while you may.
Along the shores of life the tides
Have ceaseless ebb and flow;
And through the year the seasons have
Their time to come and go.
Then let us make the best of life,
And if not always gay,
Or full of glee, why shouldn't we
Be merry while we may!
