At Emmetsburg, Maryland, the Roman Catholics report the following:

_The Sisters are putting up a large and fine edifice_ which will
be ready for business in September, and will accommodate all the
Catholic children, both white-colored and black-colored in the
town and vicinity. I am curious to know if this is the first
instance in which children of both the dominant races will be
educated under one roof.

Says the editor: "How quickly the color-line disappears in the Catholic
Church."

NOTES BY THE WAY.

BY DISTRICT SECRETARY C.J. RYDER.

Not long ago, I met a Frenchman in the halls of the Congregational
House, who was looking for Secretary Coit of the Massachusetts Home
Missionary Society. He evidently had a very limited knowledge of the
English language, for he accosted me as follows:--"You--eh, you
somewheres? Ah! I begs my pardon."

This amusing bungle of the French brother fairly represents my condition
during the past few weeks. I have not been altogether sure that I was
even "somewheres." Preaching one Sunday in Dover, N.H., the next in
Talladega, Ala., the next at Santee Agency, Neb., the next on the
Cheyenne River, Dak., then enjoying a communion season with Brother Hall
