How hnppy ~ho u art so blithesome at1r'l tree!

'Vith never a sorrow t.u make thee grow sad

Through all thy J.ife, thou art ever mo~t glad.

High in the clouds though art sailing along,

All the .while ch.irping thy louEI, cheerful song; .

Lightly thou skimmest each white c reste .l w.we

Fearless of uanger or watery grn ve.

Clothed in robes of varying hue,

Soft pearly whit(' and, deep sen-blue,

Light downy yellow, bright glaring red

And dark shiny black, that color uf dread.

While 'neath a trew one day I sat.,

I eheamt the leaves above did chat;

And what th'ey said I f<tin would tell,

Their voices SOll'hded like a dying kn<d!.

One leaflet_ then I did bea!· say,

"We will not last for many a day,

•·

For we'll be called, om·· tirr.e will eo me,

When through the trees the wild winds hum''

* . Another one made qui?k reply :--

( ~··

"Alas! it is our doom to die.

Nor can we now against fate go

We must be gone ~re eomes the snow . . - . '

.of mo!l<:I;n age~. Still in this time of peace the snme tariff is imt10serl that was considererl quffieient in

time of_w;tr. The qnestioil still remains to be nn8wererl , shou,rl a . wnr tariff he levied in time of peflce? H not-wf.Jy not? ft. should 11ot and the rensons why it should not be lt> dPd nrP simpiP·. Any one CPnversnnt wilh th e present lnriff kn •. ws that it is the neces­sp.rie'l, not the luxuries rh:t t. are mainly tnxerl. The Democrats cln.im that th !s duty, or t.nx if you will, falls upon tha workingman, while the Repuulicnns say that the importer pays the rlnty. True, the importer pays the <luty, but when he afterwMds sells these imported goorl8, he adcts this <iuty to the original cost of tbe goons, thus insuring himself from io8s: 'rhe t'e tail rlealer noes like­wise and the person bnying from him not only pnys the originAl cost of the goorl~ bnt al~o the necessary profit of the seller atHi the duty. So JOU see tile people instead of the mouopolitits pny the tnrifE Another reason why the tariff shoulrl be rerluce0 iq simply because the gov­emment has no neect for the money which arises from this high duty. Our torm ofgovemme.nt is .sneh tha~ tb~ people are its_principal (nctor-while the officials from the pn·si<Jent clown nr'? merely the. people'" ('tnployers. It th refore seems prep9sterous bn t nev~rtlwlet'~ true that the employee shon lrl take from the employer muney for whkh he has no nee<l whatever, keeping, it from there­gnlar channels of commerce and allowing it tv lie idly when it is so mnc:h needed to give to our .business tha t imputns so necessary to youthful industries. It is therefore evident to you that the mvney is not neerle<l anrl conseq\'iently the tariff tax is nnnecessry, President Clevelend in his letr.er ,>f ncceptance snid"' UnnPcessnr.r tnxntion is unjn ~t taxation." To o•>tain a fair irlea of ~"tll" present financial affairs it is but necessary to sny that $113,000,000 lies irlly in the trea~ury.Tbil" is the state of our country at tbe present time and if affair~ Are carried on mnch longer as they have been in the past. Pr~p..ef,ity wiiJ flrove our enemy instead of our bless in~ an~twhill~ ·see.mingly he lping us will be s~cretly st.th~ biqg, Hs-in the bacl{. This ct·y of free.trnd e is simply th~ fabt:ication of an enemy's minct. Presirlent Cleveland , Ju{lge 'fhuq:nao and Speaker Carlisle . declare pollit­iv~ly that free-lrarle is not wanterl hut that the raw tn~\eria!s sl)ould be admitted free of duty . To expose bri(llf% .yetfot•cibly the doctrine of Democracy but few wotds 'are' needed. The party wants the tariff reduced simply because the money derived from this exces::~ive duty comes f1·om the poor and wheti collected is not ne<,ded to entry on the government. This money not ne~·ded .invites extravagant appropriation on the part of Congress and being kept from business does it ma­terial harm. These few facts which I have mesented are, not new ones but repetition mars not their beauty not causes them to lose their trnthfulness. And, in

concluding this brief epitome of Democracy it is pleas_ urable to remark that the day is not far off when the majority of this R~public guided by good sense, will unite under the em blazoned banner of 'tariff reform' and deciare themselves for that party founded by Jeffer­son, strengthened by Jackson and so fearlessly upheld by Grover Cleveland.

A BOOK THAT AMUSED AND INSTRUCTED ME.

It is fashionable nowadays to wr it0 u f.> OD st;teh sub­jects. Therefore, etc ... . I harl just returned from. "my sunny" southern home,'' my mind still' impressed wi,th the lively pictures of vacation, which my imagination continnallv repict.ured. I was sitting thus brooding over .joys that had fled, .when a little book, "Liberalism and the Church,'' was hanrled to me.

I opened it with reverential care and "" I gRzed up­on the first page, I resolved not to rea·! it. ,

-"Why?" said the donor! - "0h!" saic~ I, it is on(! of Brolvusoa · ~ wur ·s Hncl

in my present state of mind I could never rea r! ir .. " ''Well" continued the Rev. "try it." I did. I turned over a few. more pag\'~ . 11. !!TP.w m " · ' ·

and more interesting as I proceeded. I :>till cu11Liuueti to peruse it !l.dmiring all the time the wisdom of the priest and curiously watching the hows and whys of the editor, who was a man of our times, animated with the spirit of the age.

Indeed to tell the t rut h I at the start favored the editor. I ehuckled inwardly at the intellectual tournament: the editor tbrowing out his subtle and difficult qu-13stic;ms, and the priest valiantly wrestling with t em; \ but it pa ined me indeed , I must say, to see thecleve~-. news­

p::>.per man knocked about here and there in the field of argument.

The editor not witbst.anding the variou:; bruises and cuts be ltH.c! recei v•·d still persisted iu telling tbP- priest that he ohjeeted to tbe Church's dogmas.

- "On wbat aul.huri ty ?" demanded the priest. •·On the authority of reason: No better authority is

needed for a rational being." -"Do you say the dogmas of the Church contra­

dict reason r" -- "Certainly! her dogmas are unpardonable and

. absurd." -"Does it mean 'in your vocabtdary anything. more

than that they do not lie in the . plane of reason, and that by reason alone you are unable to see or demons­trate these truths?" . -It me:• ns that they ~re contrary to reason and are

in~rin~icaUy incredible."

,t.

- "That is 1\ ser ions a~f'erlion an<i I presume y.ot~

fl!'C reany to prOYC jt." - "Th:~t is easy <.'l).ough" says t'he e•li tor, '·b.ut it

wonld necel:lsitatc a sort of <'!iscussion for wh ich I have

no taste." - "I <io not clou bt it" respondetl the pries t , who pro­

cee<len to reconcile reason ann faith .. . . I had noticed <'luring all t his time the rn.pin change of subjects which tlw m etropolit an editor was bou nrl to r<~sor t to in o rder

to stan•l a show ng11inst i1is mighty opponent. . The eclitor seemed pos~essed of an insatiable appetite

to kuow everything anrl to know it a ll i1i a bunch, or a,S Sheridan says,- "l-Ie wishecl to know a ll nhout Gorl in one word." The how's . anrl why's of the ed itor am userl me n·ot:1. lit t le and kept up my interest: -"Infidels". s~.ys I.arnbert, "uave no cornurs on how's. How do yoc~ think? How do you know .that you· know anything? How do you know thn.t yon :1.re, and thP.t you are what. you are and not something else ?"!! Nuts for the infidel

to f'mck between acts. I also noticed thn.t the ed itor n ~ver answe red ques­

tions but. he was a! ways ask ing them n.n<l once when nsked to prove n.n assertion that he harl ad vancccl, he <l eclin e<l on thP plea ••that it was a sort of discussion

which he had no taste for .... '' "I doubt so." The editor still c0nLinuPd to shift topics n,s I n,dv~n­

ced ;-"he first began by objecting t o the cb ur cl1--not as a' theologian b ut as a publicisf-that 5he held princi­pleE and authorit.ed practices rl angero us to liberty . bostil l-. to progress and at war with modern civilization and then he attacked her ma in tcnchings in n, w:~y whieh seemed unanswerable! all thes·e rlark ol .jections

vanished before t.he clear logic and better knowledge

of t he priest. As I came to the end of the work I noticerl the ed ­

iLor's d isappefrance. He went aw'.Ly I a m sure totally impersua,ded. All the arg uments that the pri es t uttered which so baffled him passed to the wind . He might hax e a,dmired them for their brilliancy; but woulrl not a llow hi s mind to consider and weigh their truE- wo1·th ; a prac­tice which many of like ilk tolto<v a11d wh ieh recalls the old maxim: "A man persnaded ag<tinst his own will is

of the same opinion st. ill.' ' The priest is the last to Jea ve the scene w!Jence he is

cit} led to attend to his missionary l al.Jor~. Thus the

book ends. I never was so delighted with anything ot the mind

as I was with tfle ,perusal of this little work a,nd even , now I enjoy reflecting upon the ques*'ns of the editor and his discomfiture at being so sbarpfy answered. I admired the sty le and language n,nd in fact all that is connected with that rare little book.

I at first imagined it to be d.ull and uninteresting ruJd devoid 0-f a good style but now I think it to he one

UNb; MERE.

A MA M!i:RE.

Voy<'z-vous cette femme? Elle pnsse courbée,

Tremblante comme au veut une ft!uille tombee,

Pourt11.nt el!e fut belle un jour:

0ar ce front si rirlt", fut ceiut 1l'une couronne

Et son ceetJr débor1la de l'ivresse qu ~" donüe

Le plus doux rêve de l'nmour.

C'est de <:et œil éteint que s'échappa la flamme

· Qui fit jaillir l'id ée au pur foyer d'une âme:

Tel le feu touchant un flambeau;

Et cette lèvre ouvrit une bouche èncor close

·Aa sourire, aux b::tisers, cQmme s'ouvre la rose,

Au soleil c~tressant et chaud

Ah 1 de vaut cette femme à la vie éphémère

Il faut v ons incliner, passant: c'est uue mère!

D;:• s son âm e sont réunis

Et courage et tendresse, ainsi que dans la nue

La !"oudre et la rosée. Elle m'est im:nnnu e,

Mais je l'aime et je la bénis!

Sa vue a rév~lllé la plus chère mémoire

NOCE D'OR.

La Communauté célèbre aujourd' IJui ses noces <i'or, Je cinquantfème an ni versai re de son existe ·ce parmi les familles religieuses. C'est une date · 0hère et pleine de précieux souv~nirs. Instinctrvement la pensée prend son vol vers les lieux qni furent le berce:tu ries enfants de St. Viateu1·. IWe contemple l'humble village où sous l'égid~ venéré dn P. Querbes se réunissaient ses premiers disciples. Ce hoÏ1 père n'est plus,mais':lonœnvre vi t. Si V ourle possède sa ton. he ses fils outconscrvéson esprit et fait connaître sou uom à la jeunesse de cteux wntinents. Ses os doiYent tressailler de joie en ce jout· d'universelle, jn bilation. Il y a cinq11:mte ans, les règles des Clercs de St. Viateur

obtenait l'approbation du St. Siège. Rome, qui a reçu les promesses d'immmortalité, communiquait quelque_ chose de sor• impédssable vitalité à un ordre naissant., Grégoire XIII n'a pas prononcé en vain l'antique Crescite et multiplicamini. L:1 Communaté possède au~ jourd'hui cinq obédienees eu France, au Canada et' aux Etats Unis et comprend plus de 800 religieux.

Quel bonheur pour . eux de se compter en ce jour mémorable et d'enVi :'<:lger JÎ ,i. Venir en SOngeaiit au pas­Sé! Ils bénissent la mémoire de leurs devanciers com­me leur!:! successeurs béniront la leur dans un autre

· demi siède.

Qui vive 'dan~ Ùion cœur. Un moment j'ai pu croire Quelle est belle la moisson qui a germé dans la ter-

re fertilisée par la rosée du sacrifice! elle y puisse une une vie qui défie les orages du temps. Puissent les dif­.férents rameaux de l'arbre de St. Viateur détachés du tr ne paternel toujours se nourrir de cette sève vivifi­ante: Elle s'échappé forte et abondante des nobles ex-

M'apparaître la vision·

De celle qui. berça mon sommeil sous son aile

Et m'abrite depuis d'une ambur éternelle.'

Po~rquoi n'est-ce qu'illusion i

Tu me restes pourtant, souvenir de ma mème,

Ange de mon berceau! Quand la vie est amère

Tu consoles et rajeunis.

Tu brilles en mes nuits comme une étoile aimée

Et sous ton doux.regard mon :irae est empau~ée De la chaste senteur des lie.

M••

. emples des premiers fondateurs. Admirez la surtout en celui qui sacrifia tout pour donner le jour à une nou­velle communauté: voyez -la jaillir avec son sang lors­que dans sa plus tendre enfance il ouvrit ses veines P••ur sceller les promes~es de chasteté faites A Dieu et surtout plus tard · quand il foulera au pied les plus­brillantes espérances afin dç rester fidèle à son œu­vre de prédilection.

Plus d'un regard mouill\3 de larmes suivra ceux qui · : .ptmmmt ~s.gentl'llin~ a~burd'hûl sur S'& U)mb'e . Vé'n~-

r ée. Arbres du chemin, nm bra.g-ez ces pieux pèlerins qui ·gravissent la colline \le Vot}r!es; oiseaux du lJocage mêlez vos chants à leurs prières; rteurs d u cillletière répandez votre encens 1mtour dè la pierre grise qui r e- . couvre <ies restes chers à tant de cœurs. Puissent ces hommt1ges n'être que le prélude de CtlUX que l' Eglise, ren<lra à ces ossements sacrés quand ils seront plt1cés sur ses autels !

Les distanCl'S lle i'éparent pas les esrriti' , .et de ce côté-ci de l'Atlnn tique des hymnes et des cris de j oie se font entendre comme un écho des fêtes de Vourles et ces réjoni10sances, qui se sont prolongées tard le so ir, comme au tant de voix am ies, traversent les m~'rs pont· dire aux fils de la Fnmce qu'ils ont ici de3 frères. Joy­r.use fusillade qui venez d'{·cl:üer sous notre ciel étoil é accents d'allégre<>se qui vihrez encore dans l'air, a llez retentir jusqn'aux oreill es .de ct> ux que berc·e en ce mo­ment le sommeil: sous le cha rme cte ce rêve d'or, ils croiront que le beau jour n '•~ st p:1s fini, qne c'est la fêt.e qui dure encore!

LOUIS VEUILLOT.

Louis Veu illot, l'intrépide défenseur des droits de l'Eglise, expira le 8 Avril, 1883, à l 'âge de '79 ans, ap rès avoir reçu les dernie·rs sacrements, entouré de ses cleu :x: filles et des Ré<iacteurs de L' Univet·s. PèJlCiant les rle~ni èresannées de sa vie cet homme i llustre avait a lmn·­donné tout espèce de travail intellectu el à raison d'un épuisement complet.

.---~ ... Ce célèbre journaliste naquit à Boynes de pàuHes

parents et ne reçut .dans sa jeunesse qn'u ne érl ucntion commune. Il ra pporte dans "Rome et: LoreLte" da ns quelles circ0nstances pitoy'ables il fit sn. première com ­munion. La Franc!? ne fnh;;aitalors que sortir ùe l'abîm e ri e la Révolution. Ses parents ne connaissai ent point D ieu. ~on maître était un infid èle et un ivro~ne. Ce fut a u sortir de pareil,les mains qu ' il s'approcha de la S:1inte Table, ,privé pour toujours des joui&sances et des sou ve. nirs du plus heau jour de la vie. "Que le s:tcl'ilège" dit­il ''retombe sur d'autres t ê tes!" Jeune encore, il d on na des marques évidentes de ses talents ~cri vain . Il avait déjà prêté le secours de sa plume:\ plusieurs joumaux , quand il reçut une invitatior. d'un de ses amis d e visiter Constantinople. Il allait, non à la capitale de l'Islamisme, mais" à Rome, au Baptême!''

En effet il revint de la ville éternel le un autre homme, un chrétien. Le voile tomba de ses yeux. La Foi donna à son intelligence la se~1le solution satisfaisante des mys­t.~res de la vie. L'Eglise !pi apparut comme étant Je dernier rempart de la S:ociP.té menacée par la Révolu. . Z;-

La plus grande gloire de sa vie sera d'avoir mené à

bonne fin le mouvement dirigé vers Rome que com­mencèrent De Maitre et De Bonald, ma·is qu.e ceux-ci ne purent exécuter à raison des .. i ntri ~ues de lru~

t.<:'mps. Louis Veuillot put tr(:s-bi en <lir~p Nunc Dim ~!­tis:Wt le Galli canism e est mor t:J

Il savait que ce fera it le dernier jour de son j oumal: il préférn.l'honneur au sil eul' e. Cette lettre encycli que fut le d rap morr.uaire de l Univers , mais qu.el g lori eux linceul! s'écrie·t-il d'un ton triomphant.

Il J'ut supprimé une seconde fo is après la guerre Fn\ llCO ·Prnssienne quand il s'éleva avec les Ev êques All<:'mands contre un dip lomate victoncu4, mais ou ­bi :Jnt le sang catholique versé dans la flei·iüère campa­gne. La vaillante plume du grand 0crivain fut broyée p:n le sabre brutal cle Bismark. Mais ce n' était que pour un temps. L'Univers depuis a proclamé l'nrri vé de l'homme de fer à Cannosse.

Louis Veuillot se trûl'ivait chez-lu i à !ft Réd action de L Univers,· comme le cwisé d'autrefois . sous sa cott~ d 'armes , d<·,fiant tout ennem i, illanç:•it d,es coups mort els à quiconqueosait l'at.taqn eF.

SCHLOSS BERG. •• ·;1

Le m'ouvement qui s'établit du côté de Stanberg prouve combi0n promptement s'est. répandu en Eu­rope cette envie de tout voir si propre au caractère

. anglais. Bientôt l'on ne pourra plus comme aujourd' ­lmi pbisanter au dépens des touristes de la Grande Bretagne que l'on représente courant partout avec lt>nr guifle Baedecker au couvert _ uéessairement rouge.

Actnellement l'un (les grands points d'att-raction paraît être le Sch1oss Berg en Bavière, à cause du trist~ évén ement qui y te rmina la vie de Louis 11. Quelques ou vrJg<?s ont déjà paru sur ce sujet et tout annonce que maintes légendes ne manqueront pas d' é­clore. Le lac appelé Stftllberg:ersee qui fut le theâtre de :a fin trajique du prédécesse rir du .Régent actuel Luitpold est à jamais célèbre et fournira aussi matière à plus d' une élégie. J'ai cru vous intéresser en vous parlant du palais royal

et de ses environs. Auparg,vant je vous diraique la ter­rible catastr0phe du 13 Juin 1886 a laissé une trop pro­fonde impression pour être de sitôt oubliée. On répètera longtemps au coin du feu le dwlogue qui s'établit -entre Sa Majesté et le médecin Guddcn, lorsque celui-ci an­nonça au Ro1 ( qui se trouvait alors au château de Sheé wanstein ) que la proclamation de la Régence avait été

faite et qu' il ·n1y av·ait·plus qu'à se rep0sër. Aprês tm granrl soupir Sa Majes~é aurait, dit-on, répondu. "QÙe voulf'z-vous doue? Oui, que signtie tolit cela?'' -Puis, reco'1rluit dans sa ch·trn.bre pades infirmièrs, suivis ctu Dr. Gurlrleu, le .Roi s'informa. du ·prince Othon et s'é­cria:" Corumeut pouvez-vous dire que je suis fou: Vous ne m'ayez. pas eucoreexamjnél" -"Sire,'' repon­dit le .docteur, "ce n,était pas nécessaire.

''Un an s.era.it donc le plus conrt délai ?''-Le Roi.e~:oyantsaJns Joute qu'on en vou­lait. à sa pm·soone, répliqua "Ca. ira hien plus vite ; on peut fa.ire comm(} avec le Su ltan; il est facile de faire disparaître .un homme de .l:t scène ctu r:rionde. "--'" Sire, l'honneur m'interdit de répondre, ".; .. Enfin, d'après les ordres reçus de qui de droit, le · Roi partit le matln suivant à quatre heures pour le Schloss Berg. , Ce château .n'est qu' à une petite di st!t rwe au Sud-Ouest de Munich. !,.es chars ou les tramways, si l'o"n veut., nous conduisent <l.Starnberg, vilhge d' envir.on 19JO habitants . el situé à la pointe Nord d'un lac du· ·même nom. Ce lac, h: plus beau de .la Btvière, affeete un peu la forme d' un triai;gle aigu dont la base est an ·Sud-Ouest. · Il esL longde 13 miles a peu près sur· une largeur de-l à 3 miles. Le Schloss Berg est sis au côté Est du Starnber­gersee, mais il e<>t impossible d' y aller par terre. Le va. pear nous y transporte en dix minutes, ou bien la ella­loupe en Une df>mÎ-heure. Tout le long du trajet les con­tours du lac offrent Loutes les variétés que puisse fournir la nature. Ènfin l' on entrevoit Je châ.teau comme un cottage au ·miiieu des arbres et des rnonticulea. Un série de montagnes s' é tagent au loin en fermant solidement l'horizon; ce sont 'les Alpes bu Milieu. Le coup d' œ i 1. est grandiose, mais le caractère principal de l'endroit se résume dans le· mot solitude. Au~ si lns grands y vont-ils 1ouvent se reposer du bruit de la ville qu des aff,Lire8. Il n' en a cependant pa~ toujqurs été ain@i, car avant la construction d' autres èhfi.teaux, celui de Berg était le rendez-vous d'un monde bruyant "qui le fréquentait comme lieu d' agréable passe temps. Le Schloss Berg. est d'ttilleur l' un des anciens châteaux de Ja Bavière. Il n'est pas très-spacieux, mais de jolie appa renee. li est presque carré et flanqué à chaque coin d' une tour qui surpasse 'd'un étage le' corps de la bâtisse. Au centre de l' une des f<:l.cades se trouve la tour princi)1ale. Elle est crénellée comme les autres, mais plus élevée et porte le drapeau nàitional. Le châtQau comprent un souba~semeut·

et deux· étages séparés par une· élégante galerie. · te carré se termine· en ct·éneaux, puis le toit en cro1,1pe · est couronné d' une jolie plate-forme. Personne n ~-est admis ru_ au pa{c ni ~tu chateau. saQH un billet qu8 l' on se pro.

ERRATUM

Owing to the newness of our proof-reader a rather awkward omission is found in the Editorials. IDstead of: "Our defects are readily observed by the man of let. ters; nor do we usually escape the criticism of the un. lettered, a.nd Ollf ideas properly connected, eV'en the un­educated men will readily perceive it;" read: ''Our defects are readily observed by the man of letters, nor do we usually escape the criticism of the unlettered. If our language is simple, pure, and easy to comprehend and our ideas properly connected, even the uneducated ma:J will readily perceive our meaning." Also _in the sentence: "He should be careful in his choice of works none but the best:'' s ·ly-"t·e:~.d none but the best."

"PHILIPS RESTITUTION"

That the student who ptrpetuall y dwells in paradi.sai­cal gardens thickly sown with greek roots and other such rare plants, mUBt sometimes allow biJD.&elf a leiture­ly walk in the less dense by-ways of fiction is no longer a debated question. Students must and will read light lit. erAture. And if while doing so, while intellectually amus­ing themselves, they are not exposed Lo injure them· selves, it is well; but if their mental recreation not only is not injurious but also a source of health, pleasure and 8u hstantial informatioll, t.hen it i& capital iooeed.

EXCHANQ-ES.

Many of our exchanges came late but they make up · ft>r this in tlieir neatness and in . the gei1ei:aliy good · matter ·which they contain. We are ple9sed to note so many changes in the papers so far received.

The University Reporter did not do much to im­prove its appe::trance, nor to get outside the rlomain of 1ts own little circle. It threatens huwever to run a

"Sporting \Vorld" column this yea,r, nnd as it cannot be that this will include only Athens we expect to s~e things spread a little.

Th e Student fur Sept. has put in :m D ppearance too, though we are not prepared to say that its new form, has a great advantage over its previous make up. It is not the intention of the Ed~. to have less space but to put their jourual up in more compact form. We see one fau lt in this change and that is, that a paper so small begins to look like a toy rather than ·;:l r eal live periodical. H owever size is no sign of meri~ and we see this the more clearly from the excelle11t matter of which the first 11 umber of the Student is composed. It will no doubt endeavor to keep up its present standard during the whole year.

Th e lllini ~the same strong and · intelligent paper of ok~. It contains many bright gems in the shape of editorial essays and good locals. Yet there sometimfls creep into this otherwise excellent periodical many silly and soft things which add noLhing to its beauty and rl e.t ract greatly from its merit. ·

The Boys Prote~tor a journal devoted to the home­less boys of Chicago, is a little gem and one that is destined to do mu ch good in its sphere of use[uln c£:>s. In the No. be tore us we find many good se lectiOns rrom famous pe:1s, short stories, and mDJlY useful things well calculated to instruct and please the yo1,111g.

In a recent criti cism of "Phil ip' s Restitution" the JIIIessage winos up thus: ''Although we crwn<:t be liberal in dispensing praise on this work, yet we can give it the negative eulogy that it will do harm" .... that it will do harm is not even negative eubgy .­Probably the no was left o ut, for "that it will do no hnrm " would be the negative eu logium intended to be bestowed.

r.ionsignor Seton has presented the prayer book of his grandmothe-r, the f<~.mons Mother Seton, fuundr.ess of the Sisters of Charity in this country, to the No.trc Dame, IndianA, Collection of Catholic antiquities of this c;;unt:·y. The prayer book was given to Mother Seton by Bishop Severus of Boston and bears· an inscrip­tion in that prelate's writing.

_E,trly in November tbere will be a meeting of the Trustees of the Catholic University to decide upon the last particnfars Of the University and to draw up the course Of studies to be foll.:>wed thet·ein.

A1ter alt there are not so many G~wnmn Catholics in the Uniteo· States as men thought. A priest, of Piopol-ic, lH., :Father Elialbei:ger, has, with the nid of llis co.r.n­''pa"tri"ots- tllroughotlt tbe States, compiled ·a full . return, from which it appears that the total number o( practical G'erinan Catholics is only 1,075,668, allowing for possi­·bte·incompletenea5,. well under 1,500,000. There Are

865 entirely German PJ!-risbes, and l ;065 41 i'nb:ed' ·· parishes under Ger~nn clergy.

Cardinal Lavigerie, .Archbishop of Ct~rthage, known to all Catholics for his unl:lounded zen.! in the .caul'le of Catholicity in Algeria and the North of Afric11, now demand:~ the attention of Europe in regard to the Sla.:ve­trade which is c:urie1l on hy Mohammeclans in Africn.

He says to an enemy: ''The Catholic Church has, by the voices <•f Twenty Popes, 11nrl in the last in~tancc by that of Leo XIII, "as contrary to the law of Na.tions; .the hunting

·and s•lle of men." \ The eyes of all the European world were turned .to

Rome most recently to behold the meeting of William II and Leo XHI. The Times of I,.ondon says; "No more enrious visit has probably ever b~en pairl to the Pope :.bt l~ome since Lohenstuufl'en did homnge at Canossa. That is the last occasion on which a German Emvorer• nnd the ·Pope saw one another fact:l to f•ce.'' Their me1Jting was a most solemn one and at· the s:une time most friendly. They were alone tog .. tltt)r for thiTty fivH min utes. No vue knows what paRsed in tb:tt ~pace of time between such difl'ere.nt ·.monarchs. Both ,appeared well plenserl with the interview and they mani.fP.s,ted it in the eheerfulness of their countenances upon leaving o11e :w<•tlt er. We qnote from a tele,gram to the Catltoltc . News! "1-Iis Holiness. lookPil as strong as ever du ring the C!'remonies, _.a.'ld when he .....,..1J.n a,ged priest, white wi th the years of the alter - embraced fhe youngand miglt-ty- Emperor at parting there wa@ a 8cene we_ll \Vorth the stucly of tlte greatest painter."

A grand pilgrim!lge to the Holy Land is now being organized in New York ami throughout- the States. Itis the fi·rst of-tlie k ind e,·er n.ttempt('d in om· country. The pi lgrimage will he n.wny on a trip of four or five months .duration nHd will have time to vi1>it most of Europe and Plllestine .e"pecia.lly, the <•bject of· their enterprise. Such a rourse cannot Qe too highly praised. lt will enliven the faith of all the pilgrims anrl their accoqnts (\f places they visited will also awaken their friends to d~ire such visits themselves. ·
