The Catholic Church and Public
Schools.
New Orleans City Item.

New Orleans City Item.
The clergy Of this diocese having
lately in their exhortations to the
faithful at mass and at instructions,
strongly condemned the sending OF
children to the public schools, the
Item this morning called upon His
Grace, Monseigneur F.. X. Leray,
Archbishop of New Orleans, to as.
certain if he had issued a decree to
the clergy in respect to public
schools. Monseigneur was found
in the garden Of his archiepiscopal
residence. enjoying his morning walk
and inhaling the scent of flowers
with which the balmy atmosphere
was laden.
He received The Item with his
customary a%miabi!ity, and said ::
II have issued no orders or edicts in
that respects. The clergy are at
liberty to say whatever they please.
Of course ! am opposed to the send.
ing of Catholic children to public
schools, especially when our paro
chial schools are excellent. n little
child is apt to receive its first and
lasting impressions of morality in
the schools s; educated in a Catholic
institution, he is instructed in his
religion. whilst the public schools
only afford a common education.
without any religious training. l
have had occasion to visit several
of our p%arochial schools, and | have
assisted at many of their commence
ment exercises. and [ find their
standard of education to be of a
high order. | do not wish to de-
tract from the usefulness and merit
of the public schools, but I say
Catholic parents should send their
children to Catholic schools. The
priests do not ask a great deal Of
money Cor tuitlon; when parents are
poor, we charge nothing. By all
means let the children be sent to
their parochial schools, but there is
no strict prohibition from sending,
them to other institution"
Monseigneur further remarked
that in a public school it necessarily
follows that there can he no rcli-
gious training; the institution is a
public one, and accepts all races
al sects. Some twenty-five years
ago, after a hard struggle. the cler-
ggy succeeded in having the reading
OF the Bible abolished in those
schools. so that now children receive
there a good. common education.
and learn their religion at home,
whatever their creed may ue.

The railroad rates to the Ameri.

The railroad rates to the Ameri.
can Exposition, New Orleans, will
be about the same as last year, ex-
cept that they allow visitors to re.
main over in the city longer. In
addition to the low rates which have
been secured for the general travel
ing public, excursions will be ar
ranged to take people there from
all the surrounding country. Recol-
lect, the Exposition opens on Tues.
day, the 10th Of November next.
The management have spared neither
pains or expense to make this Expo
sition the great wonder Of the
world, where curiosities of every
description may be seen, and where
a mint of fun and pleasure can be
had for a triae more than it will
cost a person to remain at home.
This may be the last opportunity
offered in this country to witness such
grand, delightful and interesting
%sceneries, such as has never been
before presented bysauy nationality,
and probably never will again BY
this. We hope that our parish will
be we'll represented at this Exposi.
ton, as we feel assured there are
some in our midst who can, if they
will, furnish fine specimens Of art
and bandiwork which any person
would be proud of. In addition to
the Exposition, New Orleans offers
many other attractions to visitors
which would compensate the sojourn-
er much better 10 witness than to
read or hear talked about. The
Exposition is not only a place Of
curioslties, but also an institution
wherein volumes Of appreciative in
struction may be attained.

The poets month is here. Across
the bayou there is a slight tendency
to brown. The green is no longer
the summer green, bat the sober
green just beginning to assume the
the last tint the leaves shall wear ere
the winds Of full ripe autumn
coquette with them for a time before
dashing them to the earth. The
bayou floats by these forests so
noiselessly yet so grandly that
mirrored in its waves, they seem to
grow from its depths and partakeo OF
its gentleness. But there floats a
leaf torn from its stem. 1t is not
yet sere and yellow, but like meri.
dian manhood rudely stricken down,
it advances to its destiny.
The bosom of the bayou floats not
only a leaf, but the wrecks f forests.
Torn from there foundations where
they had deied the hilIow and the
blast for a hundred years, great
oaks strew the waves. Trees dead
and limbless, oaks still green from
the life the past summer gave them,
diversity the same. 1t was only a
short time since an oak with limbs
and branches and green leaves,
sailed majestically down the bayou,
and reminded us for a moment of
the moving forest that appalled, the
guilty soul of Macbeth. But this is
not the work of October, the gentle,
the pensive, the beautiful. There is
no violence in its soft winds and no
poison in its bright dews. 1t tears
up no forests with whirlwinds and
breaks nc faith with him who, es.
Gaping from the perils Of the long
summer, laughs in its tempered beam.
1t can boast few flowers, bat how
many bowers does it gently fold to
their inevitable sleep! But if it
comes upon scenes that face and de.
cay, if it knows not the early bios.
som and the bright bird of song, its
moderated airs watt a balm to the
sick soul
And bring back the features
That JOY used to wear.
Delightful month ! how the weary
have longed for theel How the
glories and the terrors Of the snm.
mer end, and here the afflicted law
down their summer staff, dismiss
their fears and reknit the rareled
Of life. They walk forth the
loosed prisoners of disease, and part
with despair underneath the wild
glory of an October sun. The hot
winds and burning days are over
now. The haze lifts its soft form to
the horizon and unrolls the gorgeous
sunset. There lie the clouds, broken,
fragmented and asleep, and as they
catch the last beam of the level sun,
to the fancy the aspect of
the ruins Of a golden city. It is the
poets month, the lovers month, the
month Of every n who possesses a
soul capable of loving life, or that
without which life is not life, but
lingering death.

The corn crop of this parish is
the best made in many years, nearly
doubling that of last year. Sugar
cane is very good, although the acre
age is much less than that of last
year. The yield is expected to be
tenfold larger. The cotton is turn.
ing out much better now than was
at one time expected. From pres.
ent indications the result will prove
satisfactorily. The rice is excel,
lent all over the parish, the acreage
much more than the previous year,
and the yield will be good. Sweet
potatoes will turn out abnndantly.
