CEUD MILE FAILTE.

We d sire to join in the general welcome which will salute his Eminence Cardinal Moran and the distinguished visitors who come to Dnned n for the consecration ceremony. This gathering of eminent prelates will encourage the Catholics of this Colony in the work of building up the Church. Their coming will be a fresh link to bind us to our brethren in Australia. It is ten years last February since Cardinal Moran came to Danedin for the opening of £t Joseph's Cathedral. His eminence will find changes here as elsewhere in the Colony — the number of Churches increased, schools multiplied, and the many agencies of the Church for the promotion of the holy religion and Christian education in more active operation. The self-sacrifice of a faithful people ia bearing good fruit on both sides of the Tasman sea. We trust that Catholics ot the North as well as the South will have opportunity of according to the great C ardinal Archbishop of Sydney, the illustrous Archbishop of Melbourne, and the othei Australian prelates a hearty ceud mile jailte.

Thb ceremonies on Sunday in St Joseph's Cathedral will begin at 10 30 a.m., when the Card nal-Archbisbop of Sydney, the Archbiihojs, Bishops, Bishop-?lect, dignitaries, clergy and altar attendants will walk in procession from toe Bishop's House to the Ca hidral.

In his reply to an address of Welcome at Hokitiks, hia Lordship Dr Grimes referred to the education question. He said it waa with pleasure he heard of the successful examination of their schools, which afforded one more proof of the self-denying exertions which the Sisters bad displayed for the young. It was the doty of Oatho* lies to do whatever they could to remove the wrongs and injustice under which they suffered and which compelled them to pay taxea for the education of other people's children and bear the sole coat of educating their own. He was in hopes that in course of time the sense of justioe of the peopl of this country would interpose and that they would not permit of an anomaly which was a reflection on their sense cf right ; when that day arrived, and be hoped it would soon, come, the r proach on the people of this oonntry, which now existed, would be removed and the Catholics treed from an in. justice whi"h would enable them to feel in complete onion with their fellow-o lonian.

Mb Hill, Government inspector, paid a visit of inspection to the schools of the Sisters of Mercy, Gisborne, on Wednesday last. He inspected the school register, the time table, and listened to the teaching in eaoh of the standards. After an hour or to he visited tba infant's school, whica he inspected in like manner. The visitor then proceeded to the High School, where he likewise inspected time table, school register, etc. Mr Hill informed the Bey T. Ahem that he was highly pleased with the clean and neat appearance of the children and schools, the orderly manner with which the rolls were kept and the suitability of the different time tables. He also expressed himself very pleased with the method of teaching adopted, adding that it was a particular pleasure to him, during the oonrse of his visit, to listen to a grammar lesson being given ; during it he noticed two or three points very clearly brought out wbict ha bad often inculcated the necessity of in the public schools.

The Very Bey Father Walshe (writes a Westport occasional correspondent), at the 1 1 o'clock Macs to-day, made a strong appeal for a more liberal support to our school, which is sadly in need of repairs and painting. The Government Inspector is visiting here at present and is highly pleased with the progress since the scholars have become accustomed to the new bioks similar to those in use at the State schools. They will no doubt give a good account of themselves at the next examination if the parents insist on their regular attendance — a matter in which they have been somewhat neglectful in the past and which is very nofuir both to the scholars and the good Sisters of Mercy, tbeir teachers.

The following telegram wm cent by the Danedio Hibirnian Society to his Eminence Cardinal M >r*n :— " Dnnedin Branch Hibernian Society hail arrival of your Eminence and Australian prelates in New Zealand with a eeud mile failte."

A correspondent who, three weeks after Fatter, sends an account of the ceremonies of Holy Week must not be surprised at its non -insertion. Our readers like fresh and crisp news. Lengthy correspondence, with the general reader, shares the fate of lengthy articles.'

We regret to learn of the death, after a protracted illness, of Mr Duncan McLacblan, an old and highly respected resident of Milton, Mr McLacblan, a native of Fort William, loverness, Scotland, was born 16th December, 1835. In 1840 his father and family emigrated to Wellington, and be has since resided in tbii Colony. Most of his life was spent in Otago, whither he enme in 1852, and where his sister had married the late Mr William Popplewell. He took great pleasure in speaking about the early days of the Church in Otago. Not long ago he gave the writer a description of the visit of Father Scon. The devoted French Marist, who had come to Port Chalmers from Lyttletoo m a en ter, carried his swag across the hills. The first Mass in Dunedin was said in the house of Mr McLachlan's brother-in-law, Mr W. Popplewell, in the North-Bast Valley, near where the Church of the Sacred Heart now stands. Mr McLachlan, who was a convert for very many years, had an edifying death. May his soul rest in peace.
