Onur the for~ible
a k St. Joseph
of sI..R Y an event
. ' ago. .The
facts were 5a i dea5=i'aterd orn to by the
mostpremectab lwit aking out a
i4 .b e 1·n in thei per
oi 1t ly ght yeats of
age, who had voluntarily chosen the abode
FIwh ~l s 61 ho resisted all argu
ments and entreaties for giving it up, and
who was violently carried off by relatives
in her conventual habit, in spite of the
most deternmine4 ssistaice, o·n her part.
Yet the Presbyterian Irakes of lter an " es
caped victim."
Truly the faith of our neighbor in " tfaria
Monk," and similaj standard works of
Presbyterian theology, must be implicit
and its general appetite for monkish -loiw
rots insatiable, that it should swallow such
an absurdity as the inconsistency between
the facts in this case and its theory of. thi
case. A young lady is carried away
violence, in spite of her utmost resistance;
the Maria Monk spectacles are put on, and
she is seen as an escaped victim. Of course
the perversion of vision is no greater in
this case than in other fictitious horrors
palmed off on the public, but it so much
nearer home that we are startled at its
audacity.
TMe- B-dorder, before whom the case was
brongtt a few- days ago, take sa different
view of the ecasefrom the .Presltylerias, and
thinks its.strange" that the young lady is
not produced in court when he had spe
cially demanded it. He evidently does not
see an escaped victim in a person who isl
not yet at liberty.
In default of facts to sustain its charge
in thiw home pmatter, the 'Presbgterian
meakea.barges equally reckless as to the
Saurin trial recently had in England. Why
the very nature of the case itself shows the
falsity of all these charges so far as it goes.
In that ibstanee'the Sister making the com
plaint phIrged the Suparior, not with the
crime of retaining her an unwilling pris
oner, hut of trying inc very way to get her
out of, the house, while she herself was
equally determined to stay. Why then
appeal to such a casq to arouse sympathy
for the " poor inmates of these institu
tions" and for " escaped victims" against
their "jailors."
We do not insult the commoniense of
this conmmunity by arguing upon the cor
rectness of such charges; we reproduce
them merely to show the malignant dispo
sition manifested to decry and slander
whatever is most holy and sacred. --tere is
the Presbyterian's own language :
The Ipublished account of the San trial
reveals so mulch of the cruelties pran tCd upion
the poor inmates of these inust 'tions, that
public sympathy, in the ree t case, is less
likely to be with the jai rs than with the
esnaped victim.
Even supposin owever, that these
things were tr that such visions were
sometinmes , lized, and that the law had
to inte ou occasionally to rescue hapless
ivic as from fiendish persecution, would
nit put the whole institution under the
Sban of the law and beyondl civil prte,-t; .
S uCol-o h. w he penrstsed in their de
4-ieraiati 4 stay beprotected- in-their
personal rights, or sllpuld they be aban
doned to the caprice of every individual of
superior strength who might choose to
amuse himself by going in and turning
them all out of doors ? If the Presby
telian's proclivities in this case should pre
vail in our courts, and the perpetrators of
this outrage be regarded as public benetfac
tors, tlen let instruction be at once given
to the police that nuns and Sisters of
Charity have no civil rights, and that peo
ple whogo into their houses and carry them
ff nsuat not be interfeied with.

that we can scarcely nafiord to sneer at
Protestant Sunday schools after that. In

in our last issue, give place to a scorching
criticism upon them from the Boston Cos
grevgationalist. We do not wish to attack
Pr5testant Sunday schools as a general
thing, but we must say, by way of self
defence in this special instance, that the
individual who wrote the article in which

St. Peter's Scoot Extlhttlon.
The very suceesdul Pagoehial School of
St. Peter's Church, 'Third District, ocen
piM. last Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
dab evenings with its examination and ex
hibition 3oxertlses. The large hall in
which they were held was crowded every
evening, notwithstanding the intense heat
of the weather, and with au aulience ap
parently very much delighted. In truth,
the programnme was so varied and arranged
with so puch tact that the drier exercises
of such occsions were reTiuvel from all
eanui by h;ýoi4iindanoe of 'otiher perform
anceanilre'po9jilar in tlfir tu tt
When 'mnpits really know bhe matters
they have .been studying, it is apparent
almuostat t isight. A ong aad minute
exaainatiO' is not only very wearying to
a reatleqaandi'pertpiring audience, but to
tally unneessaty besides. Nearly every
one present at sucn places judges by ap
pearances. :-If the children answer in
atantly and anhesitatingly, if there is no
stammering or delay, spetgators Jdge, and
judge justly, that the answers are correct.
Two or three times around a class, if the
questions are promiscuous and the answers
of the proper kind, is sufficient to satisfy
any one that the objects of instruction
have been-attained and that the pupils have
learned what was expected of them.
We give as an instance at this examina
tion a class of Religious Instruction which
c#rab examined the first evening. A large
circle of girls were asked several times
around; not a syllable was missed or
hesitated at in the whole examination
they spoke so loudly as to be heard
throughout the hall, and with so much
readiness that the whole exercise occupied
but a few moments. The result was that
the audience were delighted instead of be
ii g bored, and wer6"more convinced of'tho
proficiency of the children than they would
hfi seen-by a long-drawn, hesitating ex
amination of an "houhf duration. There
were other examilaticis also which did
great eredit to the -teachers, though occa
fioUpply, - pupil would not answer
loudlyoenodgh to.ehieard by all.
Mr. ~ovian, the principal, deserves great
credit for the boldness ' with which he Las
made desirable innovations upon the old
traditional notions as to the programme of
exhibitions. Everything dull and tiresome
is omitted, and every element of amuse
ment and interest is introduced, in such a
way, however, as to show off the proficien
cy and' talent of the pupil. Music, instru
mental and vocal, is of frequent recurrence,
showing that the amenities and accomplish
ments of this life are regarded of some i -
portance, as well as arithmetic and  ther
dollar and cent staples. Beauti' groups
of well dressed children ar arranged on
the stago in such a w: as to present a
charming tableau, hile really giving an
exercise in cloc on. Everything is done
promptly, a not a moment is lost. In
interval etween more elaborate pieces,
boy ome out in front of the curtain and
cit an effective little poem or oration.
We can hardly discrimin ate with justice
between the ditlerent performances when
there were so many excellent ones, so many,
indeed, that we cannot hope to recall all
those that struck us most filvorably. In
the way 'of spectacular pieces, the graud
event was the song " Driven from Home."
Miss Nellie O'lrien, standing in front of
the curtain, sang the versos of this touch
ing little poem, while at intervals responses
were sung by a hand of young misses be
hind the curtain representing a chorus of
tngel.-. At t conclthi. sn, -hn thc. f..r
saken child sinks to her knees in exhaus
tion, her eyes raised towards Heaven, the
curtain rises, the spirit chorists become
visible, and one of them coming forward
assumes an attitude of readiness to bear
the little sufferer to the Heaven at which
she is gazing. Just at this moment an ar
tificial illumination throws its beautiful
lights on the tableau, producing an illusion
of the glory to which the group is supposed
to be ascending.
Another consisted of five little girls per
sonating the five spirits. Though the chil
dren were all very small, they showed such
thorough training, and acquitted them
selves with such effect as to reflect great
,redit on their teacher anq afford manifest
pleasure 'to the audience. Thie " Six Vir
tmes" was anotherinteresting piece prettily
put upon the stage.
One of the nost meritorious perform
ances of the whole exhibition was a short
drama in two acts, by Misses Kate Donovan,
Maggie Wynd, Adriana Peterson, Maggie
Darcy and Mary Cassidy. These young
ladies made a perfect success of it. The
great charm of their acting was its naturaml
ness-free alike from undue timidity and
from overstrained effect. The mother hiss
Donovan, and the daughter, Miss A. Peter
son, could hardly have been excelled byg
professionals. We unfortunately missed
two pieces, " The Fairy Quen " and " The
Goddess of Liberty," which we have heard
epoken of as very beautiful.
Want of space, however, requires us to
curtail the dimensions to which we would
like to expand this notice, and we can
merely mention a few other meritorious
points. Master J. Fox sings beautifully,
and favored us witlh a sweet little piece
called " Maggie May." Miss M. Kinsella
took the house by storm with her song of
"Father, Oome -Home." This was quite
perfect in its kind. Miss Nellie O'Brien
sang various other pieces than the one pre
tiously mentioned, and always with the
softest, sweetest of voices. Several other
young ladies, whom we do not now remem
ber, also sang very well. bliss Mary
Johnson declaimed a piece, "The Neglect
ed Child," with great distictnoes and ap
preciation, and Miss Maggie Wynd another
on " Labor i and so duubt,other declama
tions, which, we cithier,;missed or cannot
now recall, were woil worthy of notice.
Mr. Jovian, by way of adfording variety,
also introduced songs and scenes by parties
not preeisely.meatbers of the school, but
whlase talents hepiied to mane the occasion
more pleasant to all. There were tihiopian
scenes by a local club, and vocal quartettes
by Messrs. Euini, Smitih, Ceuitlivre and
Rideau-all very well executed indeed.
The most amusing puaient of the. whole
entertainment was a musical farce by a
German couple, where singing, dancing
and laughing "we all mixed up with the
enumeration of various musical instru
menta for which the parties expressed a
predilection and upon which they proceed
ed to give imaginary performances. Un
fortunately we do not know the names of
these two actors. A young gentlemau fa
vored the assemblage with some spirited
and remarkably skilful- performances on
the violin, and Miss Cannon, the accomn
plished young lady organist of St. Ann's
Church, sang several beautiful pieces. The
brass baud in attendance did itself great
credit.
In conclusion, we must add that Mr.
.IIarttug, who trained the children in their
songs and presided at the piano, deserves
special mention for the diligence and good
taste with.wlhich he prepared his depart
ment. Several of the local clergy were
present each evening, and at the close of
all, tev. Eather Smith, of St. Joseph's,
gave an address, which was so happy and
pointed that we should like to reproduce it
if we had space; but with out warm con
gratulations to Father Cornelihs on the
complete success of his zeal aud energy in
this most important enterprise, we must
close.
Cape Girardeau. -

Cape Girardeau, Mo., i ell known in this
communnity. It.i -the charge of the
Lazarist order aid has for many years
been a fav ed resort for Louisiana stu
di nts. its ,resent roll we perceive
th they number more than one-ninth of
to whole.
This institution can be most highly com
imend ed to parents who specially desire
their children to be reared in practices of
piety. Though by no means intended as
:tmere theological seminary, yet the senior
department is devoted exclusively to that
purpose, and the junior, or collegiate depart:
nient proper, is so arranged as to afford a
fitting preparation for the ecclesiastical life.
Though many of this departmert never
go beyond it, or develop any vocation for
holy orders, yet all receive a good classical
and bu.siness education, and participate in
the religious instructions and devotions po
icer under the circumsttances. All students
ate required to alprioach the sacrament of
penalnce ever fortnight and for great fes
tival. TIhey nuliit attend mlornilng prayer
and it short nmeditation, besides niuss. In

Parents can thfi assured that their
boys will have none but the best associa
tion, extamllp and instruction. They may,
of course have no vocation for clerical life,
but they come away thoroutghly versed in
their religion, lure in their characier, and
with habitsof virtue strongly"rooted. These
are considerations, when joined to a thor
ough collegiate education, certainly not to
be overlooked.
As is well known, the institution is ex
cellently located for beauty and health, on
a Iigh bluff solmo forty miles above the
mouth of the Ohio, with spacious grounds
Smany acres in extent. The students ihave
formed associations for. improvement in
elocution and oratory as also clubs for the
promnlotion of muocnlar development.
Fatlher A. Verrina, IPresident of t'!- Col
lege, is now tn tdih city, and may be con
saulted at St. Joseph's Church, Common

The Rev. J. C. Keener.o of the Christlian
The Rev. J. 'C. Keener, editor of the
Christian Adooeote, the'olfala1 organ of the
Methodist Epiqeopal Church: 'oUth" In this
section, having, in his editorial imperson
ality, suffered a merited eastlption from
the pen of the 1ley Fa>rter Jerenmiala Moy
bsiffain has Airelapse of Kn -No thl ,
and, reviving ) .old dark-bntern an tia
thies, is especially malignant to. the Irish.
It''iould be unjust to hold'all olthe sect,
which he is deputed to represent, 4 the
columns of the Advoeate, accountable' for
his innate proscriptive maiigaity, as there
are many who, though agreeing with blkt
theologically, stead tly refused to, iden
thy themoelves with his -barbierous politieal
ethics, in the yepra before the war, and v-to
since have been confirmed in their liberal
and just views regarding a race whose sol
diers contributed unstintingly to the glori
ous record the South has made for itself
for valor a d for ohivalry, and regardiag a
religion whose priesthood and whose Sis
.t.rs ofCharity illustrated practical Chris
titidity in its most heroice and exalted type.
It is not, therefore, in referring to the
editorials of the Advocate, necessary it
should be said that there is no intention of
wo'unding the susceptibilities of the Rev.
Mr, Keenor's co-religionists, who have a
hig'fter sense of their obligations as Chris
tlaus and their duties as- citizens than he
bha. It is with the Riev. Mr. Keener alone
the maatter must lie.
It was, of course, from 183-1 to 1860 a very
easy matter for such as 1le to sit in high
council, and smilingly approve the assassi
nation and thuggery of Irishmen and ier
mans, of Frenchmen and " Dicgos," and of
such Americans as were not It sound on the
goose," whenever an election was near
Democrats were to be overawe . The
coup d'etat of Napoleon III. ocks the
nerves of the tenderly hI aoa Keeners,
but they could contin for yeafs in New
Orleans the cold- ded- atrocities which
it is their pl re to . impute to Lhim, but
which, if e were guilty of what they say
of h , he had not the hardness of heart
contine beyond a singleday. The Rev,
Mr. Keener, and those of his il, are ad
vised that times ane changed since the anti
!ellua period, and that. those "inifernal:
foreigners and papists have learned to'ap'
predate Know Nothing valor' at its exacl
value,,and, be assured, the estimatois a very
low one.
The political role of the Rev. Mr. Keenmi
is not entirely nrrolhcure one. He was it
'GO and '(1 a blatant pro-Southern man.
lie was among those in '61 who were anx
iouns that the "'' red-mouthed Mick," the
" stolid . DLttchmaln " and the '" frivolou,
Fr"enchman" should shoulder a musket anld
go and do battle against the Yankee, who
was to be whipped with Southern corn
stalks. Those Irish, German and French
went, side by side with the native sons of
their adopted State. But what became of
the Keenerst They were spiritual adviser,
and political exhorters, and, of course, they
Ihad a mission to perform. That mission
proved itself to be to watch with the llost
reverential solicitude for the safety and
comfort of their own precioutr persons.
While the Abbe Turgis, Father-Sheerinu,
Flather IHiube.rt, Father Smoulders, and
other Catholic priests from this city, were
:-h.liýng with the soldier the dangers of the
1) tthl fihl, his: weary manrches, his rage
:aLid his stirvatiom, the Kc.mel!rs were shel

away from the uonut, giving "stated meet
i ngs" to shirks and deserters in the pine
woods, or endeavoring to get up revivals
among the " moa3 backs," who took sanc
! tuary frtom conscription in the swamps.
It ill becomes the editor of the Methodist
i Church South to speak disrespectfully of
Irishmen, and if the Almighty had blessed
him with those heroic qualities that make
a soldier, a priest or a Sister of Charity,
and if lie had participated in the great
struggle through which the South passed,
he would have been incapable of the sneer
of which he is guilty. It is not for him,
without malice or without the excuse of
ignorance, to cast a refiloction on "the
Moynihans," or any of thie grand old race
from which they spring. For six hundred
years that race hbs contended against the
supremancy of the ipny,~ r. iistorry attests
the fact that Span lintler, poltroon as he
is, limade the KRnw-Nothing Keeners in
I New Orleans, within six weeks after his
advent, approach himn with servile submis.
siveness to surrender their p)tivate armsn
and take every oath his dainboll. ' suggest
ed. And the Rev. Mr. leener himself can
bear witness to another fact, that when
that little Irish Radical Sheridan came
here, while men who had done their duty
honorably to the South held aloof from him,
and scorned him, the adepts in the science
of thuggery fawned nupon him, were peni
tential for their Confederate record, and
received his lashes with assinine patience
and assinine humility, that they might be
permitted to pick up the crumbi falling
from his table and breathe the atmosphere
of corruption that surrounded him.
It was a&dangerless sport to assassinate
an inoffensive levee laborer in 1856, but
the dangling of a rope in Butler's hand, in
1862, sufficed to abate the patriotic ardor
othle knights of the brass knuckle and
gimlet kuife, and the Irish Radical sabreur,
in 1866, though he did not wear a coat of
mail, had one viiThl, at least, belonging to
his blood, which induced the "dark lan
tern" gentry to think that it was prudenht
to shake hands with him, although they
must have suspected he had little if any
confidence in a manual manifestation, typi
cal of good faith coming from them.

Worthy friends of the lthcngolical press of this

ebhiq t into their Stliday ,Schools, takethe

w\:i upon earth, those who watched His labors
saw that His hands were busy, and His daily
work was done. They saw lim healing and
teaching, giving sight to the blind and light
to the ignoreant- raising the dead and inspiring
spiritual life. ihey saw good manly efforts
going on, and could cunter non their part in it
with a happly confidence taat such working
was worth while-and' that the world was
better for every day of it-and that thcre was
rootm enough i n the world for all and mnore than
all such work that they could do. But, to-day,
our lclilar Protestant and Othodox Christi
aneity is too little eflicient in the plain Christ
like tasks of beneticence. It has been left
to litm.anit arianiatii and Rounuism to shame.

poor. Tihe Churchl of Rome, wino inOi
generation, or, shall we say, fhithful according
to its light, has, in this way, won muche respecS
and iudulgence from more of the worl, who
care little for tle al rdity orf ~s faith' or the
carrow-nesa of its policy o long as the neglect
ed children were g5atEered intoe its schools, and
the neglctid. sick into its hospitals. They
conld torgive a meditmval priest or bisebhop for

into the thineteebth centnry the love of CbhrIsti
anity's first age. Men are active and prsacetical
and look for results. If they see work done,
yon need not stop to demonstrate that that is
life which does it. The prohlem is solved-by
emotion. The trnth stands proven by lits fruits.
Wisdom is justtied bf her children when those
children are seen repesting the beneficent
miracles of Christ.
