A plan has been inaugurated in New York
city for the establishmentof Roman Catholic
schools. The first step taken in the matter
was the action of Father O‘Farrell. pastor of
St. Peter‘s Church. in establishing a new
school for the First Ward. For this pur-
pose a large six-story building has been pur-
chased. and workmen have been busy during
the Summer. tilting it up as a school. and it
is expected that it will beopen for the re-
ception of pupils about the first of 801»
teinbcr.
Father O'Farrcl says he cannot but look
on the enterprise with the utmost favor.
combining. as it will. secular and religious
instruction. and training the youth of his
flock so that they may become good Cntho—
lics and citizens. With Roman Cotholics.he
says. the schools are but the stepping-stones
to the Church. and the two should. there-
fore. be indissolnblv united.
Whereupon the New York Times remarks:
“ Father ()‘Fnrt‘cl. in spite of his very
ingenious manner of gliding the sectarian
bill. is probably aware that. in the estima-
tion of the people of this State. it does mat
ter a great deal whether the. public schools
are taught by on irresponsible society of
‘ Christian Brothers‘ or by the regularly sp-
pointcd servants of the tax-payers. If any
legislature fails to reflect the popular deter-
mination to keep the common schools free

A balloon without gas is an incomplete
thing for navigating. it is difficult for n
balloon to rise without being “ blown up"
beforehand. There are various kinds of
balloons; some are like the “Graphic le~
icon." and some are not. There are several
kinds of “ gen" some need for light. some
for extracting teeth. and some are not.
Some of the latter kinds appeared in the
last Sss'rrn'nt.1 and some of the same has
shown there before. It strongly reminded
u of the story of the old lady while on her
first steamboat voyage. Being alarmed by
the jarring of the machinery and the motion
of the beat. she made attribution in all di-
rections for means of safety in case the
boat went down; After getting a rubber
life~presetver under her arm. she started
frantically around the boat. excialmlng at
the top of her voice. “ Blow me up! Blow
me up! Will not some one blow me up be-
fore this boat sinksl“ We think the old
ladyhas appeared on board in our midst.
and is only waiting for somebody to “ blow

Soc-m NORWALK. Aug. 26th. 1873.
To the Editor of Tun Sanctum:
The cruise of the Prairie Yacht Club. as
we styled ourselves. now that it is ended.
was very unlike a prairie in the general in-
terpretation of the term. and instead of” be-
ing a continuous. monotonous. and even
tenor. it was as jthu lrishmnn takes his
dreams. to the contrary. Our party consist-
ed of Selling Master. Capt. Wm. ll. Ferris.

found our stores. boxes and bundles. on the
yacht and ready to sail for Sandy Hook and
the blue-tishing grounds. Our general mann-
ger and commodore. by rostrum of business.
would not be able to join us until Thursday
at South Brooklyn. We siarted with a real
Neptune breeze. (“ straight up and down.“)
and at 10 o'clock anchored near Keyaer‘s
Island for the night. At 2:15 A. M. the lint»
ping of the all started our captain. and we
set sail with a northeast wind.for the Book.
We made good tlma.wind not quite asheavy
as the weather. and at 10:15 the general
manager passed on on the Amcrlcus between
Hell Gate and Tbrogs Point. who was sur-
prised to see us so far advanced on our .lout~
nev. At noon of Wednesday we anchored
in Erie Basin. South Brooklyn. wind still N.
E. and weather threatening. While there.
we visited the shore for supplies. and passed
the afternoon in sailing about among the
Harlem Yacht Club fleet which lay at an-
chor in the harbor. The trip on shore for
supplies was anything but. pleasant. ten
houses out of every twelve in a block being
lager beer saloons and groceries combined—
a conglomcrntion not much admired by us.
