The Lottery Bill.

We are greatly pleased to find that our
forebodings as to Senatorial action on the
Lottery repeal bill were not prophetic.
The bill has become law notwithstanding
the powerful opposition of patriotic Sena-
tors. Nineteen to seventeen was close
vote and justiies US in the feelings of anx-
iety which we entertained. The struggle
was severely contested one, and, among
city Sen ators, it seems that Mr.. ZAcharie
merits especial mention for both the zeal
and the ability Of his championship of the
bill. As to the Senators who opposed it,
certainly there cannot be the least doubt of
their zeal. There was evidence enough in
the strenuous exertious which they made,
that they were in earnest.
Altogether, the public may congratulate
itself on this Legislative action % another
sign that q better day has dawned, and
that gradually our State will be freed from
every remnant of the slavery in which she
was bound by an insolent and corrupt
usurpatiou.

candlemaS.

The Fabrication of the Blessed Virgin,
the Feast of to day, is known also by the
old English name of Candlemas. Candles
will o'day be blessed in every church
in the city just before the last mass
unleas where otherwise announced.
Wherever NO announcement ut all was
made last Sunday, it may be accepted,
as matter of course, that the cere-
mony will take place at 10 O'Clock and
before the commencement OF mass.
The zeal of Catholics in having candles
blessed is very noticeable even In this age,
yet IL is not so great as in the first ages of
Christianity. In those early days blessed
candles were often thoroughly penetrated
with some perfume which was gradually
set free in burning 30 that the air was
Allied with a grateful fragrance.
Every household should be provided
with these instruments of religious solem :
nifty, so constantly used in all the ceremo-
MES of the Church. The pa y fame of the
wax taper is the chosen emblem of faith.

time and during the Benediction of the
Blessed Sacrament. The lighted candle
is placed in the infants hand at baptism
and held in the feeble grasp of the dying
Catholic. 1t burns beside the bier of the
dead, an emblem alike in life and in death,
of that faith of which the Christian living
was not ashamed, and which assures to
him, though dead, the light of an eternal
day.
candle is ready to be lighted during storms
and other convulsions of the elements, as
well as in case of the administration of any
sacrament which urgency may bring within
it's walls. Let US not be ashamed either of
our faith or of its beautiful and holy sym
bols.

Grevy.

McMahon is no longer President Of
France and Mr.. Grevy fills his place. The
change took place as quietly as though it
were an ordinary everyday affair, although
the time was when it was thought that
McMahon's resignation would be equivs-
lent to an announcement of civil war.
President Mcmahon was pressed by his
Cabinet, at the instance of the French
Chambers, to sanction proposed change
in the principal commands of the army.
Staunch conservative generals were to be
removed aud replaced by others of known
Republican proclivfties. This move was
intended to secure the control of the army
in the Radical interest in case Of revolution,
while Mcmahon wished to count on the
army in the opposite interest, in such a
contingency. If he should sanction the
contemplated change he could no longer
consider himself m nster of the situation, J.,
aud he preferred to resign.
At this distance it appears as though the
ex President had over estimated the emer-
geucy. The money market of q country is
an unfailing index of general opinion as to
impending danger and by far the safest
standard that can be adopted in forming
judgments regarding the immediate future
of events. Judging by this test, these lie no
appreciable danger OF revolution in France.
The Republic may be accepted as an es-
tablished fact, but Republic in which all
the elements of extinct Legitimism and
Imperialism and conservative Republican.
ism will be found fased into a powerful
majority of good order, before which thu

In Switzerland the death penalty has been
abolished for some years, but 80 fearful have
been the consequences that the Council of
state have agreed to discuss its re-establisb-
ment' The alarming increase of murder in
most Cantons seems, we are told, to have i'm
pressed the Swiss with the conviction that the
penalties now in force are very inefficient de-.
terreuts. Nor is it in Switzerland alone that
pubic opinion is undergoing a change on the
subject The Same thing may be seen all over

Texas, is at present in the city, the guest Of
Father Borias, Pastor of the Church Of the
Sacred Heart Of Mary. For twenty -fve years
Father Querat, has labored zealously ON the

time he was on the frontiers of civilLs alton, but
the last decade of years he spent in Houston,
where he built 9 ins brick ohuroh and sub

months ago his sight began to fail, aud as the

especially our firm belief in the teachings of

solemn protest against the degrading spirit of
our age, which is q spirit Of sensuAlism, ra-

because this act of ours, this manifesto
