a RELIGIOUS CENSUS.
Surprising Results la New Orleans
OF the HOuse-to-House Canvass.

NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 5.-The canvass
ers who for ten days have been making a
religious house-to-house canvass of the
city for the purpose Of determining what
churches are attended and the religious
inclinations OF the people reported yes
terday that the canvass had been com
pleted for one-third Of the city and show
ed the following result. Roman Catholic.
$3.50; Episeopalian, Il .635s Presbyterian
7.450; Methodist South. 1882. Lutheran. >
%; Hebrews. 4.553; Baptist. 2.370: Meth
OdIst, 1872 other minor denominations.
1884 no religious preferences. 8 698
The result causes some surprise. It's
accuracy is generally recognized. There
has been some dispute here as to the pro
portion The Catholics hear to the total
population They claim half but this has
generally been denied by the evangelical
churches, yet this canvass made by the
evangelical churches shows, if the same
proportion is preserved throughout the
city. Of which there is no FeasOnab BILE
doubt, that the Catholics constitute I64.-
SOC of total population of 267. 600, or
even more than they themselves claimed
The EpiScOpaliaus number 81 $40 This
was an even greater surprise as no one
thought that church to stand second. and
the church attendance does not Indicate

An American Career.

In 1867, in the graduating class of the
Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute was a
youth of seventeen, named Charles r.
Flint. He was born in Maine, but
raised in the City of Churches. At that
time he had earned an enyiable reputa-
ton for indomitable application and
enormous power of work. He was not
a brilliant scholar OF speaker, but in
the Milton Literary Club, composed Of
the brightest students of the Institute,
he was regarded as one of its ablest
members. After graduation, he enter
ed into commercial life, and became
first a clerk and then junior partner
in small shipping house known as
William R. Grace & Co. The firm had
an unpretentious office in downtown
New York, and was insignificant COM
pared with the older and larger houses
of the neighborhood. Yet through the
genius of its members, and especially
of Flint, it was destined to become q
great financial power, and its members
to be -millionaires. The young
man applied to business the same prin-
ciples that had made him successful in
the Institute. Within ten years he
was wealthy man. At forty he was
worth more than million; to-day he is
ranked among the great capitalists Of
the world.-Frank Leslies' for April.
