GRA.T BRITAIX
In the House of Commons, on the report of
the address, Isaac Butt moved an amendment,
representing the dissatisfaction of Ireland
with the present system of government, and
declarinog it the duty of Parliament to con
sider speedily some means of removing such
dlscontent. Dr. Butt said the Irish asked- for
the management of their local affairs, leaving
to Parliament the control of supreme matters.
The government of Ireland was based on dis
trust of the people. He asked the new Prime
Minister not for immediate home role, but for
a complete policy of conciliation. The Maypr
of Dublin seconded the amendment, and Glad
stoneopposed it. Gladstone argued that such
a division of legislation as the amendment pro
posed was unfeasible. There was no authority
to determine what affairs could be considered
as exclusively Irish. Lord Robert Montague.
Geo. Bower, M. Johnston and others supported
the amendment. Sir Michael Beach, Chief
Secretary for Ireland, denied the gravity of the
grevances. He said each party ia Ireland in
reted home rule according to its own par
tioslar wants. The discussion then closed, and
the amendment was rejected by 51 yeas to 114
.Wolsely and the troops of the Ashantee
expedition have all arrived in England, and
have been received in the most enthusiastic
manner.
Dirsraeli has consented to receive a deputa
tion of seventy Irish members of Parliament,
who come to urge the release of the Fenlan
convicts. Dr. Butt and Messrs. Martin,
Ronayne, Sullivan and others will address the
Premier. Members of the deputation are very
hopeful of receiving a favorable answer.
UNITED STATZS.
WAsaxntoro.-Consgrss.-The Senate, on
the 26th, by a vote of 31 to 26, adopted a sec
tion of the Finanoe bill fixing the maximum
of leal tenders at $400,000,000 in lien of
382 00,000. The West and South voted
solidly in favor of the section.
Senator West introduced a memorial of the
New Orleans Grange of Louisiana for an in
crease of duty on sugar. He remarked that
the present method of valuing sugars enabled
reflers to impose upon the Government to the
preediee of our home product, and stated that
he would at the proper time endeavor to have
a law passed to remedy that abuse. Referred
to the Committee on Finance. The Chinese
immigration question, appropriation bill and
other matters of no general interest South
were discussed, but no definite action taken.
In the House the cheap transportation bill

Total Abstinenoe Items.
Last Sunday the New Orleans Catholic Total
Abstinence Society received Holy Communion
in the Jesuits' Church at the 7 o'clook Mass. The
Society numbers 186 men, of whom 120 were
present, many of the absentees sending their
excuses for non-attendance.
St. Joseph's Total Abstinence Society re
ceived also, the same day, at St. Joseph's
Church, but fifteen of its eighty-five members
being absent.
The St. Louis Watchman, speaking of the
parade on St. Patrick's Day, says.
The splendid turn-out of the Temperance
Societies was a marked feature of the St.
Patrick's Day Celebration. These men were
not crnsaders. They never interfere with the
rights of others. They show forth the Catholic
idea of temperance--a voluntary abstinence
from alcoholic drinks, for reasons which seem
to them good, but which they have no idea of
forcing on the acceptance of others.
The Catholic Total Abstinence Union of
America now numbers 302 Societies, scattered
throughout the States and Canada. Sixteen
Societies, repressntipg ten States, have been
admitted during the past mouth. Two of
these were from the South, as follows :

The Pilot learns from the Melbourne (Austra
lia) Adrocatc of December 13, 1873, that an
establishment has been opened at Northeote
for the purpose of reclaiming drunkards. It is
called the Inebriate Institute, and we are told
that
It is neither a prison, penitentiary nor penal
establishment, it is not an hospital, lunatic or
benevolent asylum, or charitable institution
properly so-called; there will be nothing elee
mosynary about it, nothing injurious to self
respect, but the reverse, the testimony of a
noble resolve in a noble cause.
This institute, we presume, is founded on
the basis that drunkenness is a disease physi
cal rather than moral. It does not sa ak very
well for Australia that already a nimber of
wealthy "ladies uncontrollably given to intem.
perance," have applied for admission to this
hospital. The Adroeate protests against their
admission, on the ground that the Institute
was founded for the poor, and that the rich
have means enough to provide for their own
cure. The Now York 'orid lately gave an es
timate of the cost of one drunkard to the
State, from which we take the following sum
mary:
The plain fasta-as capable of an appraise
ment in dollars and cents as if they were so
many bales of dry goods-are, that the com
munity at large invests $3000 in each drank
ard in the first place; that it loses that, and
$32,000 more. If the 8000 odd liquor saloons
of New York have each two drunkards as reg
ular customers the loss to the community is
just what it would be if every cargo of goods
which landed here last year had been suank off
Sandy Hook and the city had tooted the bills.
A fair haired youth who expended his
leisure in the oultivation of his moustache,
and who mustered up courage to have it bar
bered, had his incipient manhood wilted as
the tender down was lifted on a dust-pan, by
a whispered parody from a gentleman stand
lng near:

Blesing the Home of the Little Sisters.
Last Sunday evening the quiet and levely
r Home which the Little Sisters have erected in
the rear portion of the Third District, was the
r scene of a most interesting ceremony. We
a have, at different times, given fall descriptions
a of this establishment, as also accounts of the
origin and system of the admirable Order of
devoted women who have assumed the great
burden of caring for the aged infirm, of both
sexes and all creeds, who are to be found in
our large cities. Here we will merely state
that, though the Order is of recent birth, hay
ing been founded only thirty-four years ago,
it now numbers 135 houses and 2000 Sisters, and
cares for 20,000 old people. Most of their houses
are in France, the birthplace of this as well as
of most of those other noble Orders which il
uInstrate so well the charity of our Holy Church.
In the United States there are already fifteen
Shouses, and this number, we understand, will
be increased to seventeen before the end of
the year, yjiM.Ita'ntended to found a six
teenth next May, in Detroit, and the seven
5 teenth in September, in Richmond, Va. The
Sisters arrived in this city is 1868 and estab
B lished themselves in the old wooden buildings
on Laharpe street, which had long been
used by a society of ladies as a home for
f old people. Finding these buildings in a
state of decay and utterly unfit for habi
tation, the Sisters commenced the erec
tion of a substantial three story brick
f building on the square opposite. One half of
this they have completed and now occupy with
the 125 old people under their charge. The
building cost $50,000, of which amount $17,000
is now due to various parties. As soon as this
debt is paid off the Sisters intend to commence
the erection of the other wing of the building
which will cost about $30,000. They keenly
feel the necessity of pushing this work to an
early completion, as they are compelled to re
fuse admission to many worthy persons simply
from want of accommodations for them.
That our generous citizens appreciate the
work of the Little Sisters was evidenced by
the very large attendance, last Sunday, at the
blessing of their Home and Chapel by His
Grace, the Most Rev. Archbishop. No less
than 600 visitors were present, including many
of our leading merchants.
At three o'clock, His Grace, preceeded by a
large procession of little girls dressed in white,
at whose head marched a fine band of music,
and accompanied by a number of clergy,
blessed the outer walls of the building. He
then proceeded to the Chapel where all the
visitors were congregated. The Chapel, which
is large enough to hold 400 persons, is a model
of chaste architecture. His Grace then ad
I dressed the congregation in a manner which
showed how deeply he was affected by the
sight of all the old people whom he had met
within the walls of this building, and how
much he was impressed with the devotion of
the Sisters. His address was in French and
was followed by one in English from the Rev.
D. McKiniry, S. J. Rev. J. Koergel, pastor of
the Church of St. Boniface, then gave an ad
dress in `erman, after which His Grace blessed
the Chapel and the inner walls of the building'
Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament was then
given and the congregation dispersed through
out the building to chat with the old people
and inspect their quiet apartments. Besides
the clergy already mentioned, there were
present the Rev. Fathers Anstaedt, Jobert and
Massardier, the latter, in a voice of remarkable
strength and beauty, chantingthe usual hymns ,
during the ceremonies of the evening.

Saint Vincent de Paul.
The recent death, in France, of the Rev
Jean Baptiste Etienne, Superior General of the
Congregation of the Priests of the Mission,
naturally recalls to mind the illustrious name
of the founder of his Order-an Order which,
spread through many parts of the world, still
perpetuates the spirit, and puts into practice
the sublime charity with which he was ani
mated.
The venerable Superior, whose loss the
Order now deplores, was indeed a true fol
lower of the Saint, and in every respect worthy
of the love and veneration which enshrines his
name. Ripe in age, and rich in virtue, he has
but gone to his reward; but in connection
with his death, we are startlingly reminded
that our glorious Pontiff, Pins IX., as well as
the great Christian Brother, lately deceased in
France, and this venerable follower of Saint
Vincent were all of nearly the same age. They
entered upon their Sacred ministry within a
few months of each other, they celebrated
their gold-!n jubilee at close intervals of time
-and now' two have been crowned by Death
with the precious boon of never-ending life.
When shall the third summons comet the
other "good and faithful servant" receive
his "exceeding great reward ?"
Butit is not as a Christian that we should
grieve for those who have gone before, or
tremble because another soon moust follow; it
is rather as a worldling,-as one belonging to
that world for which our Saviour would not
pray-that we should fear to lose the bright
example set us by these holy men.
It would seem as though Our Lord desired to
inspire his disciples with compassion for the
world, when He thus refused to pray for it
and therefore we see His Saints in every age,
laboring for its sanctifllotion, and sacrificing
their own lives in order to convert it to the
love of God. This was the Mission of St. Vin
cent-whose life, evep to non-Catholics, is an
eminently beautiful one. They peculiarly
appreciate his zeal, because he labored so
fervently for the body; the Catholic alone I
knows that he did so because it was the means
of reaching the poor, benighted soul.
In. 157(;, near the Pyrenean Mountains in 4
France, St.,Vincent de Paul was bc,rn. His I
parents were very humble people, and his own I
occupation in early youth was that of a
swineherd. Yet this man was destined to be
come the counsellor of Kings, the dispenser of t
millions of dollars, and the father of the poor a
and distressed of every condition of life. t
"The Confraternities of Charity " which St.
Vincent established, and which have served
as the models of all similar Societies, origi
nated, as do all great designs, in a very simple
manner. One day, while St. Vincent was only
a parish priest, he was asked to recommend to I
his congregation a very poor, sick family. He
did so, and his words aroused the pity of his
listeners to such a degree that each one vied
with his neighbor in carrying immediate and
abundant relief. " Here is great charity," said
our Saint, " but it is not well directed." Ife
saw that much of the food so generously be
stowed would spoil and be lost, that the relief 0
was not permanent, and the poor family would I
soon again experience the pangs of hunger. To
avoid this result, he organized his admirable P
Confraternities, and thereby brought health, *
peace and plenty to thousands of homes that
had long been the abodes of misery, sickness h
and despair.
It was in 1633 he commenced the Institutions
of the Sisters of Charity-a work which must n
have crowned his name with glory, even had P
his zeal done nothing more. To them he gave P
the care of the sick in each parish, then the
charge and education of foundlings, the ki- t
stractien of poor girls, the care of hospitals, I
and even of a vast number of criminals con- q
demned to the galle.s.
We have no need to describe these auCgels of o
charity. They live in our midst, arid ear own c
eyes can see all their heroism and self-devotion. n
Of them, St Vincent said: " They have no c
monasteries but the houses of the poor-no s
cloister but the walls of a city-no veil but p
that of their own modesty." Ah ! were it not ir
for their prayers, their purity, and their zeu, a
what would become of us poor worldlings ?
While we are spending days and nights in s
folly, perhaps in sin, they are watching the l
slek, oenaeollg the dying, praying for the d
_ad. Is
~Wkfl. we Iadailag.ia hLshiihea m
immodest, in amusements that are criminal,
they are practicing deeds of mortification, and
leading lives of purity and peace.
While we are forgetful of our duties to God,
our neighbor, and our own immortal souals,
they are toiling for the sick, the wounded, the
orphan, the lnsane, and offering their youth,
and health and strength for the glory of the
Eternal Father and the service of his poor.
The crowning glory of St. Vincent's labors,
however, Iwas the establishment of his Con
gregation, in 1625, specially devoted to the in
struction of the people, and to training
for the holy ministry those to whom these
same people must one day be confided. The
first house occupied by the Saint and the few
priests who followed him on his missions, was
that of the Bons Enfans; but in lit32r he was
induced to accept the larger establishment of
St. Lazarus-and from this house is derived
the name sometimes applied to the members of
this order-Lasarists; but "Congregation of
the Missions" is the title given by St. Vincent,
and most expressive of their duties and their
zeal. We who know several members of this
holy order, can well perceive how closely they
follow in the footsteps of their illustrious
founder, and how carefully they copy the ex
ample of those first priests who were trained
by his own hand. In regard to the plan of his
noviciate, nothing extraordinary is prescribed,
"Neither cilice, hair-cloths, iron cineteres nor
disciplines; but in lieu thews li e ested
that which actually costs much more dearly
great detachment from the world, a very in
terior life, a great deal of humility, mortifldos
tion, watchfulness over self, fidelity to every
duty, and if possible, an inexhaustible fend of
that holy unction" which makes the yoke of
the Lord light and easy.
When reflecting upon the character of St.
Vincent we are lost in admiration ; while a
feeling of shame thrills all our being, at our
own poor, selfish helplessness.
How be labored! There was no work of
charity to which he did not put his hand.
Orphans, old men, galley slaves, sick poor, all
were objects of his loving solicitude. Hisi
principal care was the effecting a reformln the
clergy, knowing well that only a pure and en
lightened priesthood can form a pure and holy
people.
All France, Great Britain, Italy and Poland
were moved to acts of charity and virtue by
tbo exertions of a single man; and we may
add that the whole world experiences to-day
the benefits of his sublime charity. In lands
most remote, his priests of the mission and his
daughters of charity are laboring for both the
soul and body of their fellow men. Bossnet
styled him "The Saint of his age." He is the
Saint of every age; for as long as as flesh
is heir to its many ills, and the soul is burdened
with its weight of sin, so long will St. Vin
cent's teachings be the joy of earth and the
glory of heaven.
There is one consideration in connection
with the life of this Saint which should
be very consoling to all pious, zealous
women. In all his plans for the relief, either
of the soul or of the body, of the soffering
poor, it was woman's hand and heart that
helped him in his work. Did he gather up the
poor outcast, the helpless orphan, the destitute
sick; the virtuous Madame Le Gras opened
wide her arms to receive them all, and devoted
her time and talents to their welfare.
Did he found a home for all the beggars of
Paris; the ladies of that city, the Queen her"
self, Ann of Austria, came to his assistance and
placed the glorious enterprise upon a sure and
permanent footing.
Did he need funds to support his nission,
to, rect seminaries, to prepare retreats for ac
pisuants to holy Orders; Madame De Gondi be
queathed the sum of sixteen thousand franc"
for the ,missious, and thusbuilt up a new order
of laborers in God's great vineyard. Did he
call for workers in the general hospital where,
nearly every year, thousands of every age, sex,
country and religion are wanting help both
spiritual and temporal, Madame Gonssault
placed herself at the head of a band of noble
ladies, and took her post by the bed side of the
sick and dying.
Let woman then look to St. Vincent for in
struction and guidance when her inclination
leas her from the narrow cirele of quiet home
deatle; and Inthe places which be will assign

slaves, would in this Roman world raise a
symphony of derision as musical as the cry ot

muttered, " and brute power prevalent as a

something which tills me with hatred and
