THE COLORED CATHOLICS. "A Taik with Father Walsh About the Coming Congress. TEN THOUSAED COLORED CATHOLICS IN THIS CITH—moW THE DELEGATES WILL BE CARED POR—THE ORIGIN OF THE CONGRESS. Father Walsh, the pastor of St. Augustine chureh, and his parishioners, are looking for- ward to the first part of January, when the Colored Catholic Congress. the call for which was recently published in Tae Sran, will meet im the hall of the church. It is the first meet- ing of the kind ever held, and to this extent is experimental in its nature. But the people of St Augustine parish have determined that their welcome will not be experimental. They propose to display genuine Washington hospi- tality, and give a cordial reception to the dele- from the colored churches and visitors all through the country. There are connected with St. Augustine parish such societies as the Knights of 3t. Augustine. the Catholic Bene- ficial Society, and the conference of the So- ctety of St. Vincent de Paul. From the mem- bers will be chosen the reception committee, to have charge of many of the details of the meeting. The arrangement of the program and other similar matters will be made by the committee that issued the call for the congress. Enough is known of the program to say that the congress will be opened with the celebra- tion of grand high mass, at the conclusion of which the sermon will be delivered by the car- dinal. The sermon at the closing service will be delivered by Archbishop Elder, of Cincin- nati. each evening the congress re- remains in session a sermon will be de- livered. Father Augustin Tolton, the only col- ored Catholic priest in the United States, is expected to ‘oflciate at one of the vesper ser- A TALE WITH FATHER WaLsa. The purpose of the congress,” remarked The Champion Chest. IT BELONGS TO JAS. WILSON, & NORTH COUNTRY IRISHMAN. From the New York Times.

Wilson proved the genuineness of his power by taking a trunk-strap an inch wide and one-sixth of an inch thick, and after buck- ling it about his body directly below his arm- pits inhaled air and burst heavy leather with almost as much ease as thoi it had been cotton twine.

The extraordiu feat of Wilson may be appre- ciated when it is known that the average cer to nd the lungs increases the measurement of a chest by about three inches. Some notable athletes have secured a measurement of five inches, and one or two incidents in medical history are @iven where the expansion has equaled eight inches, Beyond however, no record is made. oe What Will We Do in Heaven? From the New York Herald. What shall we do in Heaven? That is the ques- tion which a reporter put to some of our clergy- men yesterday. Dr. Armitage, who is a Bap- tist veteran—a landmark in the history of his denomination—seemed to think that it will be time enough to know about Heaven when we Father Walsh, “is to bring the representatives | of the various colored churches and societies | ther to hold a conference. That is as much | as I know cf the objects of this oe. The holding of the congress was a suggestion that | originated among the members of colored | chevohes, and it has received the approval of el wras selected as the place of meeting, ie continued, in response to a ques- tion, “because it is the capital of the nation, and everybody wants to come here. And then, in the second place, because St. Augustine is the largest and finest church building occu- by the colored Catholics in this country. Augustine, as you may be aware, was or- 1d February 11, 1866. There was a small | ik structure on the site of the present build- ing which was occupied by the congregation. ‘The church was built and the parish was formed, not because colored Catholics had no church to attend, but because they had become numer- ous enough and rich enough to have a church building of their own. ere are,I should judge, between eight and ten thousand colored Catholics in this city. But not more than half that number attend this church. There are Sunday schools for the colored people at- tached to St. Aloysius, St. Dominic’s, St. Peter's and Trinity, West Washington. All the privi- leges of the church are free alike to the colored and the white, and the colored people attend these churches. This parish includes all col- } ored people in the city, except those within the | Sencar the parishes named. There is a} large colored contingent at St.’ Peters, and there is some talk about starting a separate | eharch in that locality. “In addition to our large church building here and our societies,” continued Father | Walsh, who is deeply interested in this work, “we have in this parish a parochial school with between three and four hundred pupils. It is located on L street, between 15th and iéth streets, and is conducted by the Sisters of the | Holy Cross. The colored people become good Catholics, and take great interest in all forms of church activity. Yet it has only been within the past twenty years that separate churches have been established for them. When St. Augustine was started twenty years ago there were six colored Catholic churches in this coun- | try. Now, of course, they are more, and the number would be greater if there was any dif- ference shown between white and colored in| the Catholic churches. As soon as colored | Catholics became numerous enough and rich | enough to support a church of their own, the policy has becn to establish such churches.” Father Walsh is a young man, but he has been in charge of St. Augustine parish for the } past eight years. et there, and frankly a d_that since no Seanite revelation has been made we must be satisfied with the simple statement that we shall find all the happiness we have dreamed of and a good deal more. Dr. Scudder followed in the same vein of thought. Since we can't conceive of our- selves as clothed with a spiritual body and freed from the temptations which this fleshly tabernacle imposes, he ventured no further | leasures will be | than the assertion that our commensurate with our deserts, and that souls will be graded, like the rungs of a ladder, from the highest to the lowest. Dr. +3 ton, however, was willing to draw on his imagination much more extensively. He believed that we shall be fully occupied, that Heaven is by no means a place for ‘eternal loafing,” where we sha! lo nothing but sin; and take things easy.” He added, “St. Paul may now be in the Milky Way working hard to soften the hearts of sinners of another type,” and “if God hasa few a aoe where = is a little good to do, He will send us ere.” Dr. Talmage felt reasonably certain that the finer tastes which circumstances have represved will there be gratified. The man who is fond of music, for instance, but who has been doomed to carry coal for a living, will have all the music he wants. He illustrated his state- ment by citing the case of the astronomer. He will have a better observatory, a further reach of exploration.” In other words, he is going to be furnished with celestial rapid tran- sit. He will be able to visit Jupiter before breakfast; after tea go to Mercury, having spent the day with a few friends in Mars.” All that makes very interesting reading. As Dr. Armitage remarked, it is “speculative,” but since the scientific imagination has led to a great many practical discoveries, why is it not equally profitable to use the spiritual imagina~ tion? Atany rate,no man can by any possi- bility help thinking about these things, and, therefore, the opinions of our reverend clergy will at least have a suggestive value. ee Mr. Darnelle’s Request. IT WAS NOT UNREASONABLE AND WAS PROBABLY GRANTED BY THE FAIR MAID. From the Chicago Tribune. “It is so sudden, Mr. Darnelle.” “I know it is,” responded the young man gently. He stood before her, with his weight resting ily on one foot, his left elbow on the man- telpiece, his right arm behind him, and his whole attitude one of carseless, unstudied ease and grace acquired only by long and patient practice, THE ORIGIN OF THE CORGRESS. The plan of holding a congress was suggested | by Daniel A. Rudd, of Cincinnati, ‘the editor of | paper devoted to the interests of colored Catholics, and owned and controlled by a col- | ored man. In conversation with the corres- | mdent of the New York Sun recently, Mr. udd said: “Of the number of practical Cath- | olics we have no exact data, but the best esti- mates place the number at 200,000. There are, however, many who, at one time or another, | were members of the Catholic Church, but who, because of many things—such as social | ostracism, lack of proper information, luke- | warmness, and the spirit of indifference—have fallen away. These, I am confident, would | swell the number to a balf million. } “The third plenary council of Baltimore, | held in 1836, gave great impetus to the mis- | sionary work among the colored people of the country by passing a decree that special effort should be made to educate and convert the negroes of the United States, and ordered that acollection be taken up annually in all the churches of this country for that purpose. The | council further implored young men studying for the priesthood to give themselves to the | work. As a result, many institutions have | been established all over the country.” | “What effort is now being put forth by the | Catholic Church among cclared people?” | “Schools, orphanages, convents, and semi- | naries are being established ali over the coun- | try. Many of the old schapis sre m: spe- | cial efforts to secure colored students. ere | are in Baltimore three churches. three day | schools, one seminary, two convents, and sev- eral other institutions exclusively for colored people. There are one church, one school, and one orphanage in New York city; one church, one school, and one convent in Richmond; one church and two schools in Washington: one church and one school at Keswick; one church and one school each at Petersburg and Lexing- | ton; one church and school in Louisville; one | in Bardstown; one church, two convents, and | one school in St. Louis; one church, one or- phanage. and one school in Cincinnati: one church and school in San Antonio; one convent and Ce sepa in Kansas City; one church and school in Savannah; two churches and schools in Charleston; one school in Memphis; one wear Jackson; oné church, several schools, and one convent in New Orleans; a church and school in Quincy; one church and one school im St. Paul. and many others that have not yet been reported. There are two orders of nuns in this country composed entirely of noble-| minded colored women, one of which, the O€late Sisters of Providence, with mother house at Baltimore, has brances in different | parts of the country.

From the London Globe. * Thackeray somewhere makes the remark that, if you dislike a man at starting and con- tinue your aversion, it is curious what reasons you will find and even advance in support of your view—his manner to his mother-in-law, or his undisguised baldness. Now, it is a singular thing that twenty years ago baldness was much more noticed than now, and forty or fifty years ago much more noticed than then, There are several reasons for this, but the most obvious is that baldness is now much more general than it used to be. If we take up an old Punch there are plenty of allusions to this cause of children wonder at the foreheads which their uncles display at the back of their heads, the old pantomimes wigs were always falling off and revealing unexpectedly polished scalps. One has but to let one’s memory run back and endless illustrations of the same truth recur, Those were the days when ‘men seemed afraid of being venerable, and an old beau was an object rather of admiration than of reproach. e cause was that those days followed on the days when all gentlemen wore wigs, and therefore no gentleman looked bald. e eye was unaccustomed to smooth surfaces, and such as were seen at once attracted notice. But the main cause was that baldness and gray hairs were alike regarded as the inevitable indica- tions of age. People were not then accus- tomed to see middle-aged men bald. They are accustomed to it now. It is curious how ca- ducity has increased, and the prevalence of it taken away the old reproach. All the argu- ments are it its existence, and all the facts | prove that the argumentsare misleading. Peo- ple lead longer lives, and yet they | earlier, and, moreover, it is the healthiest ple who are often the baldest. Indeed, most becomes a question whether in these days baldness is evidence, to a very reliable extent, either of age or of delicacy. “Of the decay of vital power it is certainly no conclusive proof. Consumptive patients and persons sufferin; from lingering diseases are not, as a rule, bald, and more frequently than otherwise seem to put a great deal of strength into their hair. sosnih phan. <en mati Young Women Who Run Establishments of Their Own. From the Boston Gazette. . There is nothing that shows the growing in- dependence of women more than the number of young unmarried women who have, within the past five years, set PE establishments of their own. Ten years ago the thing was almost unknown; to-day it is quite common. It used | to be that only old bachelors enjoyed this emancipation; now it is shared by young old | maids. I can think of a number of young girls who own their own houses, and live in them | without a chaperon, and who have never had their conduct questioned. There are three such co at Onteora Park, one at Pine Hill, two or three at Tuxedo, one, at least, at Narragansett Pier, one at | Clifton Springs, Va., twg.at Marion, Mass., and | others that I do not il at this moment. A has | girl who does this sort of thing must not be too “larkey.” She must be careful who and how she entertains; but if she is a lady, and behaves like one, there is no earthly reason why she should not play at housekeeping iu the sum- mer.

The burlesques stages of Lon- don exhibit such galaxies of loveliness as no other capital, ancient or modern, has ever be- fore shown in its theaters. The supply of this article, beautiful women, as a paid commodity, so greatly exceeds the demand for it, that the —— of selection reduces the chosen to ‘oops of Hebes whom Jupiter would have Troe eber but irant ng 8 burlesque queen, but now an for comedy ares in the manner of Mra Ban- croft, is Kate Vaughan, the floating, fuiry-like danseuse, who captured the heart and wears the sures | ring of Colonel, the Honorable Frederick Wellesley, son of Earl Cawley. This marriage created some consternation, as the general impression was that Col. Wellesley was the heir to the dukedom of Wellington, and the Barco of a burlesque dancer - ing as a duchess of Wellington rather shocked the sensibilities of the British taxpayer. The two Wellesley families, though consanguinous, are distinct, however, and the Vaughan has no prospects of wearing a strawberry leaf coro- net. Another burlesque beauty, Broughton, has just brought suit for breach of promise against Viscount Vangan, who, oddly enough, is a nephew of Col. Wellesley. One of the most widely discussed of Londen burlesque beauties is Constance Gilchrist, Lit- tle Connie, who skipped into fame and fortune, with her skippinj Boe from off the boards of the Oxford Music Hall. This is no place to discuss the question whether Miss Gilchrist is or is not the favorite of one of England’s most puissant dukes, Suffice it to say that the girl is, as Pepys says of Nell Gwynne, a mighty pretty creature; and who adds to her beauty of person an unexpected distinction, even a hau- teur of manner, which shows in her a remark- able aptitude to seize what is best in the aris- tocratic male society she frequents, The names I have mentioned are only hose of a few of the comparatively prominent beauty layers of London—those who have more or less claim to be considered entitled to distinc- tion by reason of their artistic standing. I have made no effort to catalogue the hundreds upon hundreds of men and women, beauties who are artistically insignificant. If I were asked what is the best passport to London favor on the dramatic stage I should unhesitat- ingly answer, “beauty.” The beauty cultus is | the maddest passion in London to-day. It has been growing for ten years, and is now wildly raging. A fascinating face will achieve a dramatic opening, will secure a passionate adoration in all classes of spectators, of a sort which Sarah Siddons or David Garrick would fail to command, could that mother and father of English tragedy revisit the scenes of their former triumphs, The player of to-day, male or female, may or may not be dramatically gifted; he or she must be physically fine. If the London spectator had to choose between genius and beauty, there is every indication to prove that he would select beauty and let genius go. eee ee Ce Emperor William Making Himself Felt. From the London World. The Emperor William impresses every one with whom he comes in contact with his ability and determination, and the conviction shared by everybody is that he is one of the most re- markable men of the day. Those who are about him declare that even Prince Bismarck finds he has to deal with a man of strong will, freat stubborness, and detinite ideas, and that e cannot influence him as he did his grand- father; and that while during his father's and grandfather's lifetime he took little or no in- terest in any matters save military ones, he now shows statesmanlike qualities which have surprised even the great chancellor. oo Axworthy Didn’t Take Everything. HE LEFT OvER $150,000 IN HIS PRIVATE VAULT IN A CLEVELAND BANK. At Cleveland yesterday Sheriff Sawyer while on a bunt for defaulting Treasurer Axworthy’s property had the door of his private vault in the National Bank of Commerce forced open and found therein a lot of stocks, bonds and miscellaneous securities. The property found has been appraised at $152,000. Experts say that if attended to these securities are likely to realize about $300,000, It was a startling find, and Axworthy’s staunch friends insist that rat more property still will be found and that an | accident or foul play has caused Tom’s absence from the town; but as the investigation goes on, it shows that Axworthy has been in a finan- cial straits ever since the Fidelity Bank failure, Since the winter of 1886 he has converted real estate into $102,000. The real estate now in his name is valued at $42,000 and is mortgaged for $14,000.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Says a St. Louis gentleman: There are not 80 many blondes as you would think, not one in twenty, Ishould say. In explanation of this I would say thatfew people understand what constitutes a blonde. Every lady with light hair is nota blonde. The word we get from the French. The adjective blonde, on the au- thority of Clark, the philologist, is defined as meaning fair, light, or flaxen, referring to any object. whereas Simmonds describes a blonde as being ‘a woman of fair complexion.” These definitions are given in Worcester’s dictionary. If you give the matter a moment’s thought you will recall how many ladies have light hair and dark complexions. : see Minister McLane’s Praise for France.
