nouncement to the public :
The fifth year of The Catholic World
will begin with its next number. It has
gained a continually increasing measure
of approval from the Catholic community,
both Clergy and laity, at home and abroad.
The letter published in the present num
ber shows that it has even gained the
notice and commendation of the highest
authority in the Church, which to us
is certain evidence of the favor and bless
ing of Almighty Cod. During the past
year its subscription list has been almost
doubled, and if it receives a correspond
ing increase in the next, this will enable
us to enhance still more its value, and
will give it the extensive circulation and
influence which are due to the only
Catholic magazine in the United States.
In the next number of The Catholic
World we shall begin the publication of
anew story of great interest.
The Young Crusader.—The March
number of this young Catholic’s Magazine

Packard’s Monthly. The March
number of this publication is before ns.
It is an excellent number, and we com
mend it more particularly for a very able
end timely article which it contains on
the stage immoralities of the present day.
Ihe article is from the pen of Edwin
DeLeon, and is entitled “The Reign of
Cpera Bouffe. ’ It exposes the inde
cencies of the new style of Opera, to
gether with those of such immoral plays
as “The Black Crook,*’ “The White
huwn, ’ etc., and denounces them in de
servedly censorious terms. Surely no
( hristian man or woman ought to witness
Sdca indecent, immoral plays as these ;
a ' :U L least of all, should the young be al
- aved to witness them. They are degrad
es aTJ d demoralizing. The Church
denounces them. Decency denounces
t.icm. Every principle of correct morals
denounces them. Mr. DeLeon has
dona a good work, and it will, we hope,
have a good effect. The Monthly has
v ' v eral other well-written articles Dis

These gentlemen also contemplate issuing
at an early day, a monthly Magazine, to
be called “Our Own”—a Literary and
Catholic periodical. They have favored
us with one of the “first proofs” of the
engravings, which are well executed,
and give promise of a pleasing work.
The Rural Southerner. —This is a

Editor aud Partner in the consolidated
Magazine, which will be published by
lurnbull k Murdoch, 54 Lexington
street, Baltimore, where all letters must
be addressed after the first of March,
1869.
There will be no change in the charac
ter of The Lev: Eclectic Magazine, except
that to its present features will be added
such characteristics of The Land We
Love as have heretofore made that pub
lication so acceptable to military readers.
The obligations of The Land We Love
to subscribers and advertisers will be
assumed by the publishers.
General Hill will continue to reside in
Charlotte, N. C., where all personal let
ters and correspondence relative to the
military department of the Magazine
should be addressed.
3V ith the increased facilities thus
secured, the publishers feel confident of
being able to make their Magazine the
most interesting published in this coun
try.
Under the new arrangement, the cir
culation of the Magazine will be larger
than the combined circulations of all the
Magazines of the South ; it thus becomes
a most valuable medium for advertisers.
The terms of the Magazine will remain
as heretofore, 84 per annum iu advance.
They are offering very liberal premiums to
all who will canvass for it.

It is seldom that we use the columns
of this paper to “pull'’ 7 or notice the

from our rule in the present case, that
we may call attention to the article
known as “S. T.—lß6o—X., Plantation
Bitters.” We desire it understood that
we do so without any solicitation or
promise of benefit from the prorietor or
other interested parties. We simply do
it as an act of duty towards those who
are laboring under physical disability
weakness, and the various complaints
arising from impurities of the blood.
Having used the Bitters at the instiga
tion ol a friend* (and w T e confess, with
some misgivings at the outset,) we found
them a most valuable medical compound
and to our great satisfaction, accomplished
the object for which they were used*

IIECKER & BROTHER’S
SELF-RAISING FLOUR.
’J hr attention oi the public is solicited to a most im
portant improvement in the manufacture ofour “Self-
Raising Flour.”
For a long time we have beeu engaged in a series of
• v, a 'dew of improving the quality of
the Self-Raising Flour, and have now succeeded in
producing an article iu every way superior to any
thmg we have heretofore been able to offer the public,
method r6Wddl g * Ve pro ** Seely’s opinion of our new
New York, Feb. 17th, 18Ci».
Messrs. Jlecker </• Brother:
I hat e recentlj made myself familiar with the various
materials and methods heretofore used in the nianu
iacture of Self-Raising Flour with a view of determin
ing the relative value of the new process adopted by
j ou, and ba\e come to the following conclusions :
Ist. The process is entirely new. The desirableness
ol the active materials employed have for a lon <r time
been appreciated, but until now the practical difficul
ties encountered in their use have proved insuperable.
2d. The process is a very substantial improvement
over anything of the kind hitherto used or known; in
deed, I believe it fully meets all the reasonable re
quirements of science aed of the public.
CHARLES A. SEELY.
Laboratory and Office, 2C Pine Street.
We have been engaged in the manufacture of Self-
Raising Flour tor nearly twenty years, and consider
this late improvement the most important we have
ever made. For some time past we have been pre
paring all our Sell-liaising Flour in accordance with
this new process.
When our success was assured, we called tlio atten
tion ot many of our most Scientific Men, Eminent
Chemists and Physiologists to our improvement, and
we now have the privilege of referring to all those
who, as yet, have become acquainted with the im
proved flour, to substantiate all that has beeu said in
reterence to our new method.

thi: ate .viakia.
A Catholic Journal, Particularly devoted to the Holy
Mother of God. Published Weekly at Notre Dame
l niversity, Indiana. Encouraged and approved bv
the highest authority of the Church.
This paper, the first ever established in the New
World tor the interests of Blessed Virgin, is ad -
dressed not to nominal Christians, but solely to such
as love the Mother of Jesus and wish to see her known
and honored through the land ; commending itself
not only to the various pious Associations in honor of
Our Blessed Lady—such as the Living Rossarv,
Scapulars, Children of Mary, Sodalities, etc., —but to
the whole community.
In order to secure the permanency of our under
taking, and to place it beyond the contingencies to
which similar enterprises are often liable ; to bind our
successors to continue a publication which we con
sidered one of the most pleasing features of Notre
Dame as a Religious Institution, and alike one of the
best services our Congregation could render Religion
in this New World, we proposed from its inception to
lound the Ave Mabia, chiefly and principally on the
oasis of Life Subscriptions. In a pecuniary point of
view, the profit was all ior our Subscribers. We were
taken to task by some of our best friends, for offer
ing a Life Subscription at Twenty Dollars we
heeded not the criticism. We even added the promise
of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to be celebrated
every Saturday at Notre Dame for Life Subscribers,
with a certain number of Communions on the same
daj u'om fifty to seventy-five, bv way of suffrages
for the living and the dead ; the same Mass and Com
munions with indulgences and prayers to be offered
individually for departed “Life Subscribers,” as it
would please our h< a\ enly Father to call them from
our midst.
Subscribers for two (2) years, and upwards,
wiii share in the benefit of a Mass once a month.
