called in to tell fortunes by tea grounds.
She was very black and she had most

aR. MURPKY's PAPER.
One o. the most interesting features OF the
morning session today was the paper read bv
Mr.. Dominick l. Murphy, the president of the
Carroll Institute of this city. His subject was
the formation of societies for Catholic young
men and the advantages and blessings that
must arise from such organizations. lie said
that the good that could be accomplished by
Young men would be m multiplied by the power
that would come from organization Read
Ing rooms, gymnaslums and all such sorts of
anlusements should be held out to young men,
giving them the advantages of social inter-
course and intellectual training.
THE CoLoRED CATHOLICS.
MIR. Wood, a colored man and delegate from
New York. gave a ringing address OH the con-
dition of the colored race in the Catholic
church. He said that for years the colored
race was treated like dogs and that now they
were not much better off, But the fact that
their condition was much improved as it is
now is due solely to the Catholic church. and
that before and during the war the only friends
that the colored people had were to be
found among the Catholic people. He
said that he was proud of the fact that there
were SO few cOlored people in the Catholic
church, for he said that the rule like master
like man held true here; like owner like slave.
The fact that almost all the colored people are
Crotestants. he said. was due to the fact that
all slave owners were Protestants and all their
slaves mad followed in their old masters foot
steps, notwithstanding the fact that the Cath
olics were the only ones who had ever held out
the right hand of friendship to them.
MANUAL TRAINING FoR coLoRED YOUTH.
Mr.. Kelly, a colored delegate from Baltimore.
also made a few remarks on the duty Of the
Catholic church in the matter Of founding
manual training schools for the colored youth.
He held that politics constituted pretty poor
refuge for the colored man. while as a political
element the negro was dire failure. In his
opinion the only solution of the vexed race
question would be the entrance OF the colored
people as a solid phalanx into the Catholic
church.

AMERICAN CATHOLICS.
MIR. O'Sullivan paid glowing tribute to the
memory of the patriot bard OF Boston, John
Boyle OKeilly, and continued on his eulogy. of
the Catholic church. He said: Men say with
out a blush OF shame for the falsehood that We
American Catholics arc not loyal to our coun-
try and national government How false! Why
the very mothers vino taught our infant lips 10
lisp the name OF God also taught us to
love our country, and while we love
and obey the one will continue to show our
loyalty TO the other. Men say that should the
pope OF Rome tell us to overthrow the Amer
lean Constitution we should at least be COM
PEELED 10 attempt its overthrow. Tell them to
be charitable. Tell them TO be reasonable.
Tell them that there is nothing in the Amer
lean Constitution repugnant to the law
of God. That it is the sort of con-
stitution that men have the right to
make and obey. Tell them that
the pope never did have. has not to-
day and never will have the right to tell us
to attempt its destruction" At the close of

they belonged. and discussed the doings Of the
convention and their several opinions of the

John Brown and Peter Jones, young colored
men, met a few evenings ago in Champagne
alley and Jones began skylarking by pushing
Brown. The latter became angry and told
Jones to stop his foolishness.
Cant You push me too?" asked Jones.
NO." retorted Brown, with an oath, and the
second oath he us.d he emphasized with pis-
toll. The bullet entered Jones' leg and caused
him considerable pain.
Judge Miller heard the case today and held
Brown in $500 to await the action of the grand

How Young Men Begin COurtship in
the Land of bikes and Shoons.

From the New York Sun
Thackeray explained the preiudces of ladies
against tobacco as being due to the superior
claims OF the latter on the affections of young
men. Yet the great novelist could not but
have known that in many countries tobacco
plays very important part as a preliminary
to courtship and the closer union of the sexes.
In certain parts of Holland when q young
man thinks he has found his affinity it is Gus
tonlary for him 10 ask fer q match to light his
cigar at tho door of his loved ones house.
This little subterfuge is intended to arouse the
parents OF the girl to the fact that something
is in the wind. II a second call with a similar
object Is made soon after, no doubt is left of
the young mans intentions, and the parents
proceed to investigate the young mans char
acter and antecedcnts, with view of aScer
tanning his eligibility as Il member of the
family
When he calls the third time, always for
match to light his cigar. they are prepared to
give him an answer. Ii his suit is regarded
with favor he is politely requested 10 step inside
Tor the first time, and is served with light.
If he is not accepted he is refused light and
the door is shut in his face without further GER
emony. But, having prepared for this contin-
gency the dOwncast suior will in all prOba-
bilty light his weed with match from his
own box and walk away musing on the transit
tory nature of all earthly things.
Wnen the accepted sutton is invited to enter
the house he as a matter OF course. informs
the parents which of their daughters has capti-
waited his fancy. When this is settled the young
woman steps forward and they join hands.
While tho engagement is by no means consid-
cred settled fact even at this important stage.
yet it is stated as a truth that when. on the
occasion of the young mans third visit, his
inamorata has offered him a second cigar, which
he has smoked in the house, the engagement
has never been Cancelled
