TEE GOOD SOIPHEED.
Out in Colorado there is a wonder
ful loosene.is ?n morals. It appears
to be ingrafted into the very be ng of
the state itself, and socieiy winks at
it rather than openly denounce and
condem the evil. A lrge per cent
of the female portion oc the c:ties
and towns have fallen lrom the b:gh
estate to which every one ol their
sex is heir to. Hundreds of these
once beautifu', refi ned creatures pos
sessing by their nature the virture of
an angel, go to the grave in (he
mostdeprayed and shameless condi
tion. When once they go es ray
there has hithe: to been no pla"3 oi
refuge for them mi the centennial
state. But as soe'ety becomes more
civ-II -ed and'stable it re'igious du
ties and sympathies for the afflicted
and fallen ones ot the race grow
proportionate! stronger and more
God-like. The Catholic church,
whose peculiar dogmas ae denounc
ed by die Protestant world, have
done much to alevlate sin and crime,
and whose love for tne oufi-.ast and
friendless ?s a cardinal pt'rt of its
religion. This church has establish
ed in Denver the order of 'he Good
Shepherd the mi cion ol which is to
receive and reform shose female out
cjsis who ilesne .0 tcpeiu and aban
don thiir lives of .sin and shame.
Surely this is a great field tor such
reformatory institutions, and Chris
tianity can exert its influences in no
greater cause than reclaiming from
the thousands of dens of vice the
t -
women wuose lives ot crime is a
blast upon the sex.
The French masses don't seem to
harber but precious little respect
much less sympathy tor the Kings

the streets of Paris in a carriage the
populace became o enraged that they
hissed and groaned and stroke the
carriage with sticks, rocks and the
like. The King was very indig
nant over the insult, and the officers
of the French Government fealt mor
tified but all to no purpose. We
shouldn't wonder it there is not some
war talk indulged in over this little
episode.
