AGAIN QUINQUENNITE letters appear in this i:ssue and will continue appearing as long as they come in. Knowing how interesting these letters have made our last, we earnestly engage all other 1pembers of this worthy association to send in their relishable quota. You are welcome to our columns.

• • • IF THE STUDENTS who s:re under military

training do not show real ability when the time :OOmes,, it will not have boon for lack of instruction from their able drill master, or lack of encourage­ment from their many admirers. So far though, be it 8$id to the eredit of the Cadets, they have shown thetn lves 'Very appreciative of what is being done for them both hy their ifllltrne.tor and their friendR.

They have ever been ready to drill when required, and prorilp t to accept any encouragement bestowed upon them. m e1y " this i as it should be." Thing proceeding s·o what " ·onders may not the future have in store fo r ns !

"' * * ST. PATRI CK 'S DAY will begin on the 16th.

of March by an e.-ening enter tainment which ·wi.H consist of everything that enter tains, music, speeches, drama, fun , drill, etc., all of the best order . The ~ 'Cm·cle Mol iere" is preparing "Le Siege de Colches­ter ,'' a superb F rench drama, and the "Thespians" will render the new and entirely original national lJlay, " O'Brien's I mprisonment." Such a feast as is to be ser ved should not be missed.

* * * THE LAST for tnight has been an unusually

eventful one for all the inmates of St. Yiateur's College, as will become evident to all from a g lance at this number of the J OURNAL. Such has been the inflow of communications from all sides that we have been obliged to forvvard the worthy papers to more roomy publications, snch ·as our " e. c's." the K. K. K. Times, Gazette, and D emocrat, the Chicago H eTald , the American Catholic News, Boston P ilot, St. Louis Catholic "\V orld, the New R ecord and a host of other , in which we hope the active young scribes may have had the p leasure to see themselves in print. The recording thus of actualities is one of the best modes of acquiring a ready and correct pen and it i8 an exereise which cannot be too m uch recommended nor too often practiced. Therefore, follow pen-pushers, continue writing all these eYery day occurrences of our apparently monotonous, but really much varied life anJ you >vill , in the course of your fast fleeting college years, have acquired a style,-an attainment which, if it become not your means of livelihood, can and will always play you a goocl turn in after life.

An association is a nnmber of perl:ions forming a union for tile purpose of mutual assistance and improve­ment. 'Ve all understand that when young men leave home and dear friendf? and enter college, it is to be trained , educated and prepared for the world; they bring with them higll hopes and fresh young energies, and it is a natmal consequence th,lt in such societies as they form we wi ll find smart., earnest a11d efficient workers. Some are clever, others talented , and some posseo;s even genius. Again associations which are more or less select, shou ld be composed of sensible, prudent findllighly moral youf!g men. 8o much so as regards the qualities of these a~soCiations.

Now, a distinction should be drawn and maintained between societies that are lawful and unlawful in col-leges; for a distitJction obtains here as well as among the various societies that exist throughout the world . In some universities, in fact in many, there exist what are called secret societies that have a password, oath of secrecy and which conduct their affairs in the manrier of any well organized secret society sucb as Masonry.

It is hard to determine in whnt way a secret society in a college is benefici'll; according to my way of think­ing, it is wliong that they should be tolerated. And why s~~~ecause its members are left free t~ do how and

N'ow since we c~ n easily perceive 4he ca-qse,of!::olleg-e associations, we m~y certainly perceive more rcaclil_v their goorl effects. The various k inds of asPocfations differ more or lcfs in thei·r be:nGficia l intluen'c~t''. A 'liter­ary association will especially i rr{proye . tiLe m.eutal f:l'e­

Now in what wny is thies improvement attajneq? ,As I have said, it is a gP-nend rule that co·llege asso'chit!dris are made np of smart, emnest and energetic young men. 1Ve can at least be nss urecl thn . .t .. for iustftnce, .i,n1-a -well ·. · · ~N-·~~. orgnnized literary society th:1.t has the po~er, to ~ ccep~, or reject membership, we will firid no blockllf>ads.

Description of tho r1:"ty. Ete., Etc., E tc .

Friday the ~Z2th nlt. was a gn ln. da,y l or St. Viutcm's; W e lHtve bee n e:tge rl y expect ing for some time, the visit o f t he Very Rev. V icttt' General o f th e Congrega­tion of St. Viateur a•Hi h is cc•mp:\\Jion l~ev. Clm~ .

G reat were the prepanu ion s made in on1er to sot everything in ami around the College, but especia ll y th e IIall, in the ne:-.t­est possible re:tdiness.

Not so mu ch did these consi::;t in perfecting their drill exereises, whi ch was already an accomplished fact, as in making themselves and their accout rements pres~nt as tasty and polished a n ap pearance as possible. How well th~y merited fttvOr:tble results i::; evirlent; but how ful ly such were met ed oat to them, those a lone know wbe were present at the rendition oi the last number on the progamme-the Dress Parade. ''Twas a grand sight that-those three Companies in the ir suits of light g ray, with their n ew brass hnttons g littering

OFI the gray background, all in "hollow squm·e'' with tbcfi· guns flashing light from the polished barrels, at ''present w·rns," and the ir gaze fixed steadfast t6 the front with that a;r of military ster:~ness they have learn­ed to assume, such a ~cene woulrl have done credit to solctiers; to si mple College cadets it is sometll'ing they may g lory in.

A,t the hour nppninte(l for the nrrival of our distin. t inguished gucs 1s, the Ba.ttalion was in line re!l.dy to salute them. They formed two files in the spacious coi·­ridor lea·linf, fro m the pnrior to the Reception Hall; and rts the visitors passe<'l e~corted by the Rev. Presi­d ent ~ n 'l Di 1·ec.tor, tLe Officer of the Dny, and the mem­bers of the Rece ption Com mittee, the Battalion came to ''present arms.'' Among those who ftecc.mpanied t~e

vi~itors, were Very l.{e\·. C. Fournier C. S. V., Superior uf the Co ngregation in the States, and the Rev. D. S. A. Mahoney, whose na-me hns become popular on acco1,1nt of the marked success be h ~1s nttnined in the instruction of \.be Polish Zouaves of Chicago. We were glad to ~ee

him !l. mong our g uests, fo r we knew that he of all oth­ers wo.uld enjoy and aprreciate tlle efforts of the boys at military displn y. As SO'•n as the guests arrived at the entrance of the Hall , the B :Hld , Ull (ier the re:~dership or Prof: P . A. Snllivan began one of its martial strains,

· and the rendition was a worthy "overture" indeed to t lw succeeding numbers of the programme.· . ·when the mar tial music had died away Mt. Fred.

Dandurand stepped forward and read an address in French. Tben the Orchestra gave one of its choicest se­lections, ::wcl the applause it brought forth was still at ils heigl!t w!J en in came the Legris Light Guards, the Minim Compnny, with a brisk step, and all was at once bushed. T l.ie Company was in command of Capt. Mau. rice O'Connor, who is but ten years of age. His gallant bearing, his clear shnrp orders, and his perfect mastery of bi :l Company called tor perfect r.ttentiou . from all; But his lit tle men were not slighted, for every move­ment executed by them wns int~nsely watched and ad­mired; and as they left tbe Hall ~xclamations of sur­prise and admimtion fell from many lips.

Mr. Tbos. J . Normoyl~ then read an alidres in Eng­lish to the visitors, with great feeling. The sentiments expressed by him were those of respect for the men who bad spent thei r Jiv~s in the education of youth, wbo had not forgotten us amid their arduous labors, 11nd

· macifes ted so much interest in our welfare. Now that tbey were in our midst, it was a bounden duty to re­pay them, and 'twas this we aimej at this evening.

His words ended, again the martial step was heard and the Bernard Light Guards, or the Junior Compll.ny, made their entra11ce in perfect order. This Company entertained us with many ·difficult marching move­meut.s, wllich may he sa id to be their "forte.'' Their

Captain,· James Sampson; bore himself very soldier-like, aud gave his commanqs with great .precision. The Com­pany was well applauded as they made their exit. Again the Orchestra poured out sweet strains of melody, and again the soldier tread was heard, and in came. the Marsile Light Guards, the senior Company, with a quick zouave step, in command or Capt. Chas. Ball. This company presented a great nppearance by their perfect martial bearing. Heavy set, and well-propor­tioned in s:ze, both in this and in the manner th~y

handled, their muskP. ts, they looked, every inch ofthem, like true soldiers. Not one bre~k in their movements, not a fault in their execution of the manual marred the first impressson they made on the audience. To their Captain great praisB is certainly due for his quick fore. sight. Several times the company was forced into diffi­culties both on account of its size, and the straightness of the drilling space; but the quickness and precision of his commands brought them through without a break. As they again took up the zouave step in leaving the Hall. they were loudly encored; but the ''picked squad" came back to answer for them. On account of the indisposition of Mnjor H. J. Legris, Col. John P. Dore, the Battallion's drill-mas ter, took charge of the squad, which consists of sixteen of thb Senior Com­pany, and four of the Junior. Their movements were executed to perfection. Their ''manug,l withou t com­mand" drew forth loud applause. The bayonet exercis­es were complete and were performed with the great­est exactness and uniformity. But when just before re­turning to their plac('s they gave the zouave salute, they put the last flower of glory on their crown of success. This squad could compete favorably with any state organization of the kind.

The next number-the officers sword drill was short, and though they had little training on this point they made a very satisfactol"y show. They have been oblig­ed to give so much time to other tactics, that w'e could not expect perfection from them in this time. They made way for the udress pa1·ade," the last on the pro­gramme, but first in importance, which was form ed by Adjutant D. Ricou. When all the eeremonies of this beautiful movement had been carried out, t.he officers being assembled around the Major, the Very Rev. Father Lajoie arose and made an eloquent answer in French to the addresses which had been made to him. He was sorry he could not express himself in the English language, but there was a language-that oi the heart, which was understood by all. This be wished to use, he had always remembered the College of St. Viateur, and its pupils. He had often heard the progress they were making in studies, and now he felt that he was repayed; for he could witness the progress they had ma<1e in the military exercises, and he felt that succes'l il

Anothet· gootl Catholic book is thaL published by that "clever a1·tist, critic, and poet," Miss Eliza Starr, of Chicago, entitled "Song~ of a Lifetime.'' This volume of poems will rejnice many an admirer of Mi.,.s Starr and will recall t? mind her other splendid works, "Patron Saints'' and "Pilgrims and Shrines." The more works of the kind we have, the better for our Catholic youtbs,1

who may thus be en a bled to a void the pernicious influ­ences of heterodox readings.
