COlOred Men as Priests.
Work of the Catholic Church Among
The Negroes.

From the Inter Ocean.
According to the census of 1880, there
are in the United States nearly seven mil
lions of colored people, nine .tenths OF
whom are living in the former slave-hold-
ing States. Of the whole number, about
one hundred Thousand are Catholics. Those
of this faith are found principally in the
cities and towns of the South, where, be-
fore and since the war, the principal mis-
sionary efforts by Catholics among this
people have been made In Louisian there
are, among the cotton plantations, good
ly number of Colored Catholics, also in the
southern counties of Maryland, and in
parts of Kentucky. AS is well known, the
Catholic Church has always been zealously
active in looking after the spiritual condi-
ton of the poorer classes, of whatever race
or nation. In this country the missionary
work of that church among the colored
race has been, and is now. principally in
charge of the fathers of St Joseph's Socie-
w ICT fOIeiSH 1ilSo 'OuS. 1E0 DTlcSiS Oh
the order are bound by peculiar VOW to
devote themselves exclusively to tke color
ed people, and are Lnown as Josephites.
These priests have twelve fathers among
the people IN this county, Who now tave
sx congregations divided as follows. Two
in Bait rno o. one in Wasn'ne OF. two in
Cha lesion, with three ou. miss ons, and
one III Louisville. In these par shes, it is
arthoritatively stated that over seven hun
dred infants are received annually for
baptism, and over two hundred adult con-
verts were received into the church la t
last year In addition to the above mis-
sionaries engaged in this work, several '.fs-
male religious" also devote their time and
attention to this people These have
charge of an industrial school for colored
boys in Savannah. and an academy and
orphan asylum in Baltimore. So it will at
once be seen that the Catholic Church has
been and is still paying no little attention
to the condition of the colored people in
the United States, and SO far as the work

has progressed, with the most satisfactory
results. \.
Tn search among the Catholic clergy OF
this city for information on this SUBJECT
and particularly as to the number OF color
al PRIESTS in the Catholic Church IN the
limited States and in this city, 1t was learn
ad that there are but very few colored
nr;ests in the country, and none in this
State or city. In answer to the question:
Why do you not have colored priests to
administer to colored congregations
leading Cotholic clergyman answered that
II was the experience of his church that
tb. colored people themselves do not take
kindly to priests of their own race. Ihey
nrsfer white priests and seem to feel that
they are not treated fairly unless they are
eivsn white priest.
.How do you account for this p
..Wsll. the colorsd people are sensitive,
and they feel that unless the church gives
them a white priest an educated man, that
they are not thought good enough to res
eeive the same attention from the church
AZ its white members are given
An effort was made to ascertain how ma
nv colored people in the United States
have sspoused the Catholic faith in the last
ten years, also in the last five, but no one
eouli be found who had the statistics at
hand. The clergy interviewed on the sub
iect, however, all agreed in stating that q
satisfactory progress had been made, and
that already the church had decided to en-.
large and extend her worh in this particu.
| lar field, believing the time has come fol
her to undertake the conversion to the
Catholic faith of the coIroed race in the

EpiscOpalians Disposing of Their
COlored Brethren.

RICHMOND, Va. May 20.-In the Virgin
ia Episcopal Council to-day, the commit
tee to whom Was referred that part of the
Bishops address concerning the churchs
relations to the colored people of the Uni
ted States submitted the following as the
result of their consideration: 1--WE believe
that the true, the only solution of our
church's relation to the colored race will
be found in giving them the right, and en-
couraging them to exercise the right.-to
separate organization. They have asked,
and it is natural that they should wish
separate congregational organization. The
race difficulty in a social point of view Is
real one. The colored people recognize it
as clearly as the white, and are prepared to
act accordingly. A white pastor to COL
ored congregation, is not, and cannot be-
such pastor as the congregation demands
and really needs. He may visit the homes
Of the people; he may go in and out of their
families, but there is no such
FREE, UNREsTRAINED RECOGNITION
of their families by his. The barrier be-
tween his family and the families of the
congregation renders that intercourse un-
real. 1t is by no means mutual recogni-
ton. Our white congregations have no
intention of asking colored men to be their
rectors: 1t is no spirit of resectment, but
q desire for more than semblance of
church relationship that the colored people
will ask that their pastors be of their own
race. What is true of their own congrega-
ton is, in its principle, true of larger
congregation. Intercourse between white
and colored ministers and laymen in the
councils and conventions is not general
and while they are SO few in number, and
their churches SO feeble as not to have lag
representation, it very surely will not be
as real as it ought to be. Between Chris
tian men of the same church there Is
brotherly kindness, genuine and unfeign-

Where Not to Keep a Dog.

Mr.. X, who lives in one of the larg-
est of the new flat houses up town,
bought a dog. Because of his large size
he christened the brute jumbo and
to the surprise of Mrs. ii. and the two
young ladies visiting at his house, SNUG
gled him in and fastened him up in one
of the servants rooms, the mental being
absent for the night. Called out on q
business engagement after dinner, Mr..
x. had not returned at IL o'clock, and
the ladies went to bed.
About midnight Mrs. X was awaken
ed by Miss p, who whispered that
something was wrong. They could
certainly hear rapping, and burglars
and spirits were suggested. Then they
could distinctly hear heavy breathing in
the servants room. All three screamed,
the janitor came up stairs and, with o
stove litter as n weapon, cautiously OPEN
ed the door. Jumbo sprang out delight
ed, and after q moments scramble lay
down to rest.
Mrs. X. was indignant. Chow in the
world did he come in here?" she asked.
''Put him out at once" But Jumbo
wouldn't be put out. He was coaxed
and threatened, but his tail only raped
the harder. Then he was kicked and
his good nature at last gave way. He
showed his teeth and growled. Mr.. KS
key grated in the lock and Mr.. X.
shouted q warning.
"Oh, that's all right. He's the dog l
bought for you to-day. Hewon't bite, "
said Mr.. X, opening the door with con,
fidence.
But Jumbo was now aroused. Mr.. X.
whistled cautiously. Don't you know
me, old boyp Nice old dog" he re-
marked. Jumbo didn't know him, how
ever, and assumed even a more threat
ening manner. Mr.. X. retreated.
"Why in thunder don't you get him
something to eatp" he.shouted to Mrs.
X, he being in the outer hall, Jumbo
in the inner and Mrs. X. behind the
door.
"How can get out to get itP" asked
she.
''Then why didn't you leave him in
The room where l put him? said Mr..
X.
"Why didn't you tell meP" was her
reply.
"Confound the dog, anyhow" said
Mr.. X.
At day light the dog fancier was rout-
ed out of bed, and an hour later Jumbo
was returned to his original master at a
large discount. II don't think flats are

The rage for novelties in shoes and
stockings, says the New York Eoening
Post, is quite as great as ever. There
certainly never was time when
women with pretty feet could display
them to greater advantage or, on the
other side, when women with ungrace-
full ones could hide them so success
fully. For the former are styles and
cOlOrs beyond enumeration. For the
latter are exceedingly low cut sandals
and slippers in bronze kid, black satin
or black undressed kid, with bit of
embroidery rbeadingupon thepointed
toes ; these to be worn invariably
with stockings of black or some
dark shade, the pale tints being
left for those whose delicately-
shaped feet can best venture to dis
play them. Among the novel fancies
for these favored ones are Charles TX,
shoes of silk, matching the costume,
and Vatican shoes of white Suede kid.
The latter usually have the toes hand
painted, this ornamentation often being
done by the ladies themselves after
purchasing the plain shoes. Although
this material is easily soiled, it is very
easily cleaned with clay pipe powder.
Sandals of gray kid or bronze are worn
with home toilets over stockings Of
cardinal silk, this being a particularly
elegant combination in foot dressing.
Pale silyer-gray silk stockings, en-
broidered on the instep with delicate
mauVe flowers, are also the height of
elegance; these are worn with low cut
slippers of pale gray kid, worked on the
toes with cut steel and fine heliotrope
beads. Black shoes, that a short time
ago were so fashionable for dancing
and evening wear, are quite discarded,
and the sandal or shoe, like the gloves
nd the fan, must always match the
.oilet.

Count de Saillant answered not a
word; bewildered, he quietly left the
room, convinced, at least, thai his rela-
tive was no ordinary highwayman; but
he had also caught full glimpse of
the daring, relentless spirit of the man
who afterward became the Titan of
the French revolution.
On the following day Mirabeau took
leave of his Limousin friends in the
following manner:
Gentlemen" said he, with indie
scribable sang froid, "pardon the little
experiment / have tried on you in
order to prove my own courage; your
property has been returned and my
brother-in-law has given what, l hope.
is a satisfactory explanation; if it has
proved otherwise, however, 1 am quite
prepared and willing to offer honor
able satisfaction to any one desiring
it. Iregret to say that this duh coun-
try, forcing one to play bandit to re-
lieve the stagnation of life, is no longer
congenial to me, and as am now about
to enter the more exciting pleasures of
the political arena, wish only to bid
you farewell"
1t was quite evident that none
present desired to cross swords with
the grimly humorous count; the gen.
tlemen stood somewhat abashed before
him, and their eyes fell before his in
trepid gaze. The Marquis of Charras,
finally forcing his features to assume
a smile, blandly remarked that the
whole affair was regarded as a very
good joke, and his companions made
no objection to this settlement of the
matter.
Quite satisfied with his own part,
Mirabeau went on his way to become
eventually the world-famous hero
painted by history.-Modern Age.
