The Roman Catholic Church in this
country seems to be meeting with unusual mis-
fortunes. AT Emmttsburgh, near the Gettys
burgh battle field. they have had a College for
many years-called Mount ST. Mary's. Con-
vents are there also, and it has been well known
as the headquarters of the Church in all that re-
glon. But the College has gone into the hands

The Kurdish chief, Obeidullah has
again collected a considerable force for another
invasion of Persia. The Persian Government
has suggested that the Sultan should arrest
Obeidullah, and remove MIN to some other part
OF the empire; but this requires much larger
force than the Porte can conveniently spare.

denominations number as follows Protestant

Mrs. Freeman was born in Madison county

sister OF Governor Kemper Most of her
married life was spent in Culpeper county, Va.
though for ten or twelve years she resided at
Gordonsville, where her husband was the Agent
OF the Orange and Alexandria Railroad. She
was Tor many years consistent member of the
Presbyterian church. The cares incident to a
large family required her presence so much at
nome, that she was not able to mngle freely in
society; but her place was never vacant in the
house OF God when health permitted. The do
nestle circle was the arena in which she dis
played most effectively those excellencies which
formed the salient points of her character.
" She looked well to the ways of her household

Interesting Services in the Presbyte-
rian Churches, Augusta, Ga,
Last Sabbath

Last Sunday most interesting services were
held morning and evening at the First and
Second Presbyterian churches respectively. The
occasions were heightened by the presence of
Rev DIR. j. l.. Girardeau and Rev. DIR. J.. B.
Mack, of the Columbia Theological Seminary.
Large congregations gathered at both services
in the two churches, and enjoyed the eloquent
discourses. In the morning DR.. Girardeau de-
iivered one Of his grand sermons on Faith y
AS logcian, as an orator and minister of
eminent piety, he is unexcelled in the Southern
pulpit. There is a smoothness in his language,
pathos in his voice and reserved power in
his delivery which combine to make magical
effect. In the evening DR.. Girardeau preached
in the Second Presbyterian church from the
text, Choose thou this day whom thou shalt
serve" There was much of originality and
strength in his remarks
At the conclusion Of each discourse DIR. J B.
Mack, in forcible and busness-like way, pre-
sented the claims Of the Theological Seminary
at Columbia s. G.
Columbia Seminary is one Of the two theo-
logical institutions under the control Of the
Southern Presbyterian Church. 1t was founded
about fifty years ago by the Presbyterians of
South Carolina and Georgia During the half
century of its existence it has had about $50
students, among whom are many prominent
elergymen-Dr. Palmer, of New Orleans DIR.
Hoyt, of Nashville DR.. Petrie, of Montgomery;
DR., Arson. Of Savannah DR.. Boggs, Of Atlanta,
and DR.. Bracket, of Charleston This institu
ton has in Columbia, s. c., extensive grounds
and suitable buildings, and one Of the finest the
illogical libraries in America. The library con
talns over Fl 900 volumes, many Of which are
rare and valuable works. These buildings. the
Library and the students fund are worth over
100000. Besides these things the institu

lucluotES NEW OIleaus.
There were originally under the Con-
stitution of 1868, THIRTEEN districts in
Guiding the Parish and City of New
Orleans, which was subdivided into
seven districts of its own, but we be-
lieve that the number was finally in
creased to SEVENTEEN.
Under the Constitution of 1870, which
made an entire "new departure" and
itself organized the District Courts
without leaving it to the Legislature as
the other Constitutions had done, there
are TwENTY-slx districts, the Parish of
Orleans excepted, and perhaps it is
worthy OF remark in this connection
that Caddo heads the list, and for the
first time rises to the dignity of being
constituted as a Judicial District all by
herself.
From allSthis we draw the deduction,
clearly est blished by the above cita-
tons, that HE organization of Courts
of Appeal Under the Constitution of
1879 was, as }applied to the judiciary
system of this state, AN EXPERIMENT
From 1912 to\ 1879, for sixty-seven
years, Louisiana had got along and
