HOME CULTURE CLUBS.

George w, Cable has an article in the
August Century on the system Of Home
Culture Clubs recently started by him.
We quote as follows: ITO start these
clubs anywhere requires no outlay nor
any wide cooperation. Wherever any
man or woman of the most ordinary at
tainments can gather two, three or four
others, in any sort of a degree less ac-
complished. club may be formed, and
if necessary can be complete in itself; or
it may join itself by correspondence to
some group of clubs elsewhere. and have
the benefit of making weekly reports and
getting weekly the aggregated record of
the whole group of clubs. Wherever there
is such group of clubs there should be
president and secretary, and it will
probably always be for the best that the
secretary receive some quarterly or semi
yearly compensation in consideration of
business like attention to his or her
duties. An unpaid secretaryship is
probably too old snare to need
warning against here.
1.-The home culture clubs are not
recommended fer filling churches:
emptying charitable institutions, or
eradicating any great visible public evil,
but as means for proving practically our
love and care for our less fortunate
brother or sister. If the scheme,
when time and diverse regions have
fairly tried it, wins our needy fellow
mans confidence and kindles his high
desires if it helps us to correct some
what the misfortunes of others and to
make human fraternity something wider
than mere social affinity will, or social
assortment ought to, stretch, it will live:
if not. it will drag no one with it into
the grave.
1.-The home culture clubs are recon-
mended not to zealots only, but to those
generoue thousands who have seen the
poor success of so many efforts to COM
mend the Christianity of the fortunate
to the hearts of the unfortunate, and
have seen the cause of failure in the neg
lect 10 secure personal acquaintance
and to carry unprofessional friendly Of
fees into the home, free from the burden
of charity on the one hand and of social
ty the other. The plan is submitted
to all who believe that to help Il lowlier
brother to supply any craving of the
mind that he may already have is the
shortest, surest way to implant those
highest cravings of the soul which seek
and find repose only in harmony with
the Diuine Will.

THE NEW BISHOP OF WICHITA.

The Catholic News of New York has
been notified of the appointment of the
Rev. j. j. Hennessey, of st. Johns
church, ST. Louis, as bishop of the do
cese of Wichita, to succeed the late DR..
OReilly, its first bishop. who died. This
news will cause no little surprise and
disappointment in the diocese where it
was confidently expected that Rev. NJ. j..
Casey, of this city, would receive the APP
pointment to the vacant bishopric. Never
theless this disappointment is in large
measure compensated for by the satisfac-
ton that will be experienced at the selec-
ton of SO good and capable man for the
position as Rev. Hennessey is known to
be.
The movements and plans of the new
bishop cannot be known for some time
as preparation of both will necessarily
involve much time and study.

WORDS TO WORKINGMEN.

Apropos of Mr. Blaines departure
from England and his expected arriva
in New York next Tuesday. the follow
ing letter written by him in 1880, just
before the election of General Garfield,
in reply to some inquiries made by an
Irish-American citizen of Boston, will be
read with especial interest. The advice
it contains is as good now as it was in
1880, and there is not the slightest doubt
that he will reiterate and enlarge upon
it when he enters the campaign, which
he will do in good time:
AUGUSTA, Me-, Oct. q. 1880.
My Dear Sir; l received your friendly
letter with much pleasure. Let me say
in reply that the course of yourself and
other Irish voters is one Of the most ex-
traordinary anomalies in our political
history. Never, probably, since the ex
ecution OF Robert Emmett, has the feel
ing of Irishmen the world over been so
bitter against Englishmen as at this hour.
And yet the great mass of the Irish
voters will on Tuesday next vote precise
ly as Englishmen would have them vote
for the interests of England. Having
seen Ireland reduced to misery and
driven to despair by what they re-
gard as the unjust policy of Eng
land, the Irishmen of America
Use their suffrages as though
they We're the agents ana servants of the
English Tories. The free traders of
England desire nothing so much as the
defeat of Garfield and the election of
Hancock. They wish to break down
the protective tariff and cripple our
manufacturers, and nine-tenths of the
Irish voters of the country respond with
alacrity: Yes, we will do your bidding
and vote as you please, even though it
reduce our own wages and take the
bread from the mouths Of our children"
There are many able writers among the
Irish in America. but l have never met
on of them able enough or clever enough
to explain this anomaly on any basis Of
knowledge or good sense. l am glad to
see from your esteemed favor that the
subject is beginning to trouble you. The
more you think of 1t the more you will
be troubled, am sure. And you will
be driven finally to the conclusion that
the prosperity of the Irish in this coun-
try depends as largely as that of any
other class upon the maintenance of the
financial and industrial policy repre-
sented by the Republican party.
Truly yours, J. q. BLAINE.

A Dry and Dismal Failure.


Those who have knowledge of the
flow of water in the Arkansas river,
know full well that it is not adequate to
the demands that would be made upon
it, 1t is fact we'll known that the most
of the irrigating bitches IN western Kan
sas and eastern Colorado are now as dry
as the desert of Sahara. notwithstanding
the frequent rains and melting SHOWS
from the mountains have contributed
literally to the river from which they
hope to draw their supplies from. The
Arkansas river, as q fountain to draw
sufficient water for such works as are in
contemplation, is dry and dismal

A pretty custom in vogue at weddings
is the throwing of the brides boquet as
she goes upstairs to exchange her gown
for her travelling costume, She leans
over the balustrade and losses her
boquet to her bridesmaid and the as
sembled young ladies, who are waiting
below with bathed breath, for the girl
who catches the precious nosegay will
be the next bride. 1t is {; funny sight
to see dignified bellies scramble for that
boquet.

statements OF an equal number of banks of

complaining at the News for lying about
