ChilUron of Mary
The doslro of many prominent Catholic
ladles In the city to unite in good works , in
laboring lor poor.ohdrchos , and ospectally in
assisting needy families , found not only an
echo , but a realization at the convent of the
Sacred Heart , South Twonty.sevonth street ,
when , nt the close ot a retreat given by
Hov Father Foley la Doccmbcr , 1888 , the
sodality of the Children of Mary was es
tablished , with the approbation of Bishop
O'Connor , who encouraged the work by his
practical instructions nnd counsels
This association , conforming to the stat
utes of the 'snmo congregation nt Komo , on-
Joya all the privileges and indulgences
grunted by the church to that body Not
only are these who have been pupils of the
Sacred Heart admitted to membership , but
also other pious ladies who , desirous of their
own perfection , and.zealoas for the increase
of piety and charity among their fnonds ,
express a wish to bo numbered among the
members ot this association
The rules ot the society nro especially
drawn to facilitate the ends proposed , the
glory ot God , the honor of the Virgin , the
spiritual welfare ot the members of the as
sociation , the roliofof the poor and the as
sistance ot poor churches , After surmount
ing many difficulties , this little branch
recolved n now lmpulso through the nomina
tion of Iiov Dr Caliaghan' as spiritual
director On the first Tuesday of each month
mass is said at 8:30' : in the church chapel ,
followed by an instruction from the doctor
On the second nnd fonrth Fridays of the
month , the ladies meet at the convent of the
Sacred Heart , from 3 to 5 p. m. , for sewing
for necessitous churches and for the poor
A great donl of good work has already re
sulted from these efforts , and at Christmas
many poor children were made happy by
the bestowal of" substantial presents
Besides these regular assemblies there are
from time to tlmo other general meetings to
ronaor an account of the coodt accomplished
by the association , its pious undertakings
nnd other important duties connected with
Its progress
A fee of 50 cents Is charged monthly to as
sist inpurchasing material tor clothing the
poor , linen for altars , and for other charitable -
table purposes
This little explanation , it Is thought , will
destroy many false prcjadlces anu > annoy
ances which the society has undergone , aud
willcncourago many ladles to Join an asso
ciation which is destined to promote their
own good and to bencile their neighbor

Grndy on the itneo Problem
Following Is a dlgqst of Ilonry W.
Grady's groit speech before the Boston
Merchants'nssocintlon'on the occasion
of the big banquet at slho llotol Von
dome , on Dooombor 12.J It wns the exposure -
posuro during the trip which ho mndo
to make this address which caused his
death Hts topic was the colored prob
lem nnd hts romnrks were n natural
sequence of his eloquent speech on the
Novy South In Now York city two
yours a o. It was this former spoooh
which gave htm his greatest fame , but
his lust address was a lit companion to
iti IIo said :
Mr President , bidden by your Invita
tion to n discussion of the race problem ,
forbidden by the occasion to make a
pplltical speech , I appreciate , in try
ing to rocoticlla orders with propri
ety , the porploxlty of the little maid ,
who , bidden to learn to swim was yet
adjured , ' Now ' , my darling , lump your
clothes on a hickory limb , but dent go
near the water "
The stoutest npostld of the church ,
they say Is the missionary , and the
missionary wherever ho unfurls his llag
will novoi" find himself In deeper need
of unction and address than I bidden
tonight to plant the standard .of a
southern democrat in Boston's banquet
hall ; and to discuss the problems of thoraces
races In the homes of Phillips ana of
Sumner But Mr prosldont If a pur
pose to speak In perfect frankness and
sincerity ; if oarncst understanding of
the vast inlorosts involved ; If a cense
cratlng sense of what disaster may fol
low misunderstanding and estrange
ment ; If these may bo counted to steady
undisciplined speech and to strengthen
an untried arm tli3n , sir , I Bhnli find
the couhigo to proceed My people ,
your brothers in the south brothers in
blood , in destiny , in all that is best in
our past and future are ho beset with
problem that their very existence depends -
ponds on its right solution Nor are
they wholly to blame for its presence
The slavoshlps of the republic sailed
from your ports ; the slaves-worked In our
Holds . You will not defend the trnfile ,
nor I the Institution But I do here declare -
clare that in its wiio apd humane ad
ministration in lifting the slave to
hcightsof which ho hadj.not dreamed In
his savage homo.nnd' giving him a hap
piness ho has not yet found in freedom ,
our fathers loft their sons a saving and
excellent heritage _ / the storm of
war this institution " wns lost I thank
God as heartily as youdo that human
slavery has gone forever from Ameri
can soil But the frcedman remains
With him a problem without proqodont
or parallel Note its appalling condi
tions Two utterly dissimilar races on
iho same soil with , equal civil an d
Eolitical rights almost _ " equal in num -
ors , but terribly unequal in intelli
gence and rosiioniibilifcyioach pledged
against fusion ono foe a century In
servitude to the other.and freed at
last by a desolating war the experi
ment sought by neltherbut approached
by both with doubt these are the con
ditions Under these , adverse at
every point , wo arc required to carry
these two races in pence aud ( boner to
the end
When will the black cast a free ballot ?
When ignorance anywhere is not domi-
mated by the will of the intelligent
When the laborer anywhere casts a
vote unhindorcd by his boss When the
vote of the poor anywhere is not in
fluenced by the power of the rich
When the strong and the steadfast do
not everywhere control the suITrago of
the weak and shiftless then and not
till then will the ballots of the negro bo
free
froo.Tho negro vote can never control in
the south , und it would bo ' well if parti
sans at the north would understand this
I have soon the whlto people of a state
set about by black hosts until their fate
seemed sealed But , sir , some bravo
man , bandlnc them together would rise ,
as Elisha rose in belpaguorod Samaria ,
and , touching their eyes w th faith , bid
thom look abroad to sco the very air
filled with the chariots of Israel and
the horsemen thereof " If there Is any
human force that cannot bo with
stood it is the power of the
banded intelligence and responsi
bility of n free community Against
it numbers mid corruption cannot pro
vail It cannot bo forbidden in the law ,
or divorced in force It is the iualion-
able right of every free community the
just and righteous safeguard ugainst an
ignorant or corrupt suffrage , It is on
this , sir , that wo rely in the south Not
the cowardly monnco of the masic or Bhot-
gun , but the peaceful mnjosty of intelli
gence and responsibility , massed and
unified for the protection of its homos
and the preservation of Us liberty
That , sir , is our roliancn and our hope ,
and against It nil the powers of earth
shall not proynil It wus just as cortuln
that Virginia would come bank to the
unchnllengod control ot her whlto race
that before the moral and material
power of her people once moro unified ,
opposition would crumble until its last
desperate leader was loft nloriQ vainly
striving tp rally his disordered hosts

But sir , though the 00,1111011 of this ro-
publio thundered In every voting dis
trict of the south , wo 8(111 should Hud in
the mercy ot God the moans aud the
courage to prevent ilsrn-ostublishmout.
, Meantime wo treat the negro fairly ,
measuring to him justleo in the fulness
the strong should glvo to the weak and
leading him in the stoadfust ways ot
oltlzppship , that ho may no longer ho
the prey ot the unscrupulous and thp
snort of the thoughtless . Wo open to
hltn every pursuit in which ho can
prosper , and snok to broaden his train
I mg and cap iclty Wo seek to hold his
confidence and friendship and to pin
him to the soil with ownership , that ho
may catch In the fire ot hls ' own hearth
stone that soiifo of responsibility the
shiftless enn never know And wo
gather him into that nlllanco of Intelligence
gonco and responsibility that , though
it now runs close to racial lines , welcomes -
comes the responsible and intelligent
of any race By this course , conflrmod
in our judgment and justified In the
progress already made , wo hope to pro
gress slowly but surely to the end
The love wo fool for that race j ou can
not measurn nor coniprohcnd As I at
test It here the spirit ot nn old black
mammy , from her homo up there , looks
down to bless , and through the tumult
of this night stonls the snoot music of
her croonlngs ns thirty years ago she
hold mo In her black nrms and led mo
smiling Into sloop Tills scene van
ishes ns I speak , and I catch a vision ot
1111 old southern home , with Its lofty pil
lars and Its whlto pigeons lluUorltig
down through the golden air I see
women with strained and anxious laces ,
and children alert yet helpless I sco
night coma down with its dangers and
its npprohanslons , nnd in n big , homely
room I fool on my tired head the touch
of loving hands now worn and wrinkled ,
but fairer to mo yet than the hands of
mortal woman , and stronger yet to
load mo than the hands of mortal man
ns they lay a mothers blostlngs there ,
while at her knees the truest altar I
yet have found I thank God that shots
ts safe In her sanctuary , because her
slaves , sentinel In the silent cabin , or
guard at her chamber door , puts a black
mans loyalty between her and danger
I catch another vision The crisis of
altlo a soldier struck , staggorlng ,
fallen I sco a slave , scullllng through
the smoke , winding his black arms
about the falio 11 form , rocklcss of the
hurtling death bonding his trusty face
to catch tha words that tremble on the
stricken lips , so wrestling moan tlmo
with the agony that ho would lay down
his Ufo in his masters tead I see
him by the weary bodsldo , ministering
with uiiuompluinlng .p.itlenco , pray
ing with all his humble heart
that God will lift his master -
tor up , until death comes In mercy
and in honor to still the soldier 's agony
and seal the soldiers life I sco him by
the open grave , mute , uncovered , suf
fering for the death of him who In life
fought against his freedom 1 see him ,
when the mound Is heaped and the
great drama of his llfo is closed , turn
invay and with downcast eyes and un
certain stop start out into now and
strange Holds , faltering , struggling , but
moving on , until his shambling iiguro
is lost in the light of this hotter and
hlghor day And from the grnvo comes
a voice , saying : Follow himt Put
your arms about him in his need even
us ho put his about me Bo his friend
as ho was initio , " And out into this now
world strange to mo as to him , daz
zling , bewildering both I follow ! And
" may God forgot my people when they
forgot these !
Whutovor the future may hold for
thom whether they plod along in the
servitude from which they have never
boon lifted since the Cyronian was laid
hold upon by the Itoman soldiers , and
made to bear the cross of the fainting
Christ whether they find homos again
in Afrlcaand , thus hasten the prophecy
of the psalmist , who said : . And sud
denly Ethiopia shall hold out her hunds
unto God whether forever dislocated
and separate , they romaln a weak people
ple , besot by the stronger , and exist , as
the Turk , who lives in the jealosy

most justice aud abiding friendship
And whatever we do , into whatever
seeming estrangement wo may bo

_ wo boar this republic or mitigate our
consecration in its service
Mr Grady closed with a magnificent
peroration rivaling his great discourse

would bo perfectly willing , apparently ,
to sco every American workingman

offend the ruling powers of the Chincso

On arriving hero the safe cruckor will
find that negotiations for the surrender
of the bonds and securities stolen by
him and his gang from the Manhattan
savings bauk of Now York in 1878 have
been resumed , uftor have been abruptly
broken off yours ago Although these
securities have all been canceled and
reissued , the re is still a bare chance
that they may fall into the
hands of innocent persons and bo
a means of defrauding thom When
the negotiations were commoneod
for the return of the * bonds Hope
was imorlsonod at Saa Qucntin
He was told that $100,000 would bo given
by the bank people for the return of the
papers , At first ho steadfastly refused
to entertain any proposition of the kind ,
saying that it was merely a trap to got
him into further trouble Finally he
proposed that if sufficient Influence
would bo brought to bear to secure a
pardon for his son , John Hope , who was
then and is now eorving a sentence in iv
Now York prison , and to secure himself
and son from any further trouble with
the authorities on old scores , ho would
agree to hand over the papers For ono
reason or another , however , the plan
was not accepted , and Hope again grow
susniclous of the ovorturcs of the banlc
people and would not treat with them
Now , however , another effort is about
to bo made , and this tlmo It may provo
