pleaPing department and spenks of good management ; the Ed. will no doubt redeP- m his promise, making it- a proro intlnt feature of t il t> llfonthly.

The chief feature of the Illini, is its editorial clepp. rt­ment and in this it ex cells all its con temporaries. I r. these we find treated, not subjects pertaining strictly to College life, but 1i ve topics; issues whiGh are of practi~ cal utility to a ll, and whic~ furnish food to the various minds of which a College is made up. In the editorials we fino marked the character of a paper; in this al ~o lies its strength or wenkne s, and consequently on the pQWet and standard of its teachings will depend its suc­ce$s as ttn educn.tor. The Illini is .a live to this necess ity

an(l the paper bespeaks the results of its i;, bors m this respect.

W ell r eally we are de lighted to see the Un iven ity Repm·ter- come iu with a new bead, a no that no or<'linflry one either. You look fifty per cent ;Jetter anc1 other changes to which we are sure you are not b lind would still further Improve your appearance. The RepO?'te?· is well supported if we consioer the fact that more than one f ourth is made up of advertisements. By the way we notice on page two, a little ad. which we believe is not an app ropriate one for a College Journal. It would look much better in a daily, though such snide things cannot ornament any sh eet on which they appear.

The Szmbeam h as once more cast a ray o£ light up­on ns. T o us at first sight it seemed the same beam as o£ old. But oh! when we heard the pitiful moan sent up by the poor forsaken editor we were compelled to utter the only groan we h ad in stock. Why do you mourn oh Sunbeant? Surely not £or want o£ editors . Your number seems sufficient. To seek pity is it? Well your sorrow filled one page £or your first issue any how and that is a point gained. "Dinah Ninlock Craig" is a good article, l en ghty, but somewhat loose­ly strung. In tracing the simple life o£ this f amous author, the writer strikes a comparison between Mrs. Craig and Miss Willard. Both are shown in their de­sire o£ helping mankind generally and their own sex in particular . Let us see to whom mos.t admiration can be given. Both says the writer were o£ different dispo­sitions surrounded by different influences. "Miss Nin­lock was o£ a retiring nature, dwelling in home as h er sufficient kingdom and possessed by ,a rare compre­hen sion o£ the nobility and importance o£ h er duties as its queen. " What a charming picture is here painted of woman in her own sphere, which she fills so well and where h er influence is destined to give forth it.s choicest fruits. On the contrary Miss Willard as the writer continues, is by her public position " the sub:­ject alike o£ human eulogy and condenmation ;" and we may add without any assurance that her difficult labors will ever bring about lasting ch anges or suffi­ciently repay the hard work o£ this well meaning lady. vVe may conclude that woman will do most £or man­kind in the position God destined £or her , "Queen of home," and not in the more public places £or which she is not fitted and where her efforts will neither be effectual nor appreciated. .

The Kansas Catholic which h as, £or a long time, labored undex difficul t ies, is now by the generosity of its friends, on the way to success. We rejoice at its good fortune and £eel sure the able management un­der which it is placed will render it a power £or goo~

the freshness of youth, and gradually to tM beaut'y and splendor of full'manhood ~uc'h as we · behold her now .

. It is then frotn that · prodigy ·of ancieotr magnificence and grandeur, a.pp.arently dead, buried, and broken beneath its own :weight when it fell supine to earth, that tbis grand instilu.tion ofuur·Republic bas, brilliant us a star, r~vived and raised the h0nors of the human race. -lt..is natural then for it to be great with such a basis of truth as it has to stand upon and exampks to follow the unhappy blunders-happy for it-of hy-gone nations and what hest they bad to govern themseives. Therefore the barbarians thnught to annihilat.e every­thing that belonged to Rome and the world of splendor, when they were the ·blocks of m!l.rble from the brows of its proud monumer·Jts-the palaces oft.he Cresar·s, the . temples of the god~, and the sublime senate hou~e where a.l the wisdom of that time assembled:' Very little \vere they con!'lcious tlun they were O!Jly preparing the ma­terials for far superior constructions than thos~ they were destroying; such also was their force combinerl with that vf t.he Romans themselves to destroy the newly born Catholicity.

But the fact that the Romans made it their daily duty to persec1ite Christianity, proves the veracity of it; proves that where vice reigns supreme virtue vies with it; proves ·Jikewise that the nation allows it to Aourish. as well as nil other creeds, has greater wisdom anrl that its government give an almost unlimited lib­erty to the citizens.' Where · under the sun is the people that !all.!' , or now Joe~ enjoy such freedom? The RQ­mans, in their h'ighest. understanding of· republicanism, allowed only n part of their citizens to have a share in the governmeut: those as we are told. were the patri­cians, or those who poss~ssed a share of tbesncred terri­tO!'Y of the city, which had · heen surveyed and marked out· by the go•l Terminus. Hence ·the gt·eat plebian houses often richer and nobler than th'e patricians, were exclurled from tbe honors of the state, because they were not tenants of any portion of tlte !"acred territory; but were they- free from the wars and woe~ suffered to defend the governm ent and state? You woulrl logically think so. But ·we · know that it was the contrary­they were oft.en obligtd to bear all the burdens, furnish all tbe soldiers for tht army, though they were adopted

. citizens, as th!Jse of Amel'ica. But with what a differ­ence! A foreigner admitted here, is given an equal · right as the American sons in choosing the rulers of th~ land.

Then I say t:,at a govemment giving such rights to the peO})le mt•st have in view their happiness-a happi­ness as perfect as can be rlesired on this colrl earth of

Whttt does man want but to dr , now !iDd tben, . p\ea '¥1 ll~a}l na:~·t!!,'e desit·es irs la.w to be re-

spectt'd sor~et.imes-and it is but right! God Him!'elf . has made the heart of man, therefore knows its needs, which He taught as it were, to America. The-- 'Repub­lic was established only after having weig-hed in the

·Scale of Justice, what would give this sought for hap­pinP~s to the p•,ople. Then it was agreed upon that q.od barl given man free will, the governmerit must give him the advant.ilge to exercise this free will. Hence our boundless freedom and liberty.

0 busy American! Stop for a moment on your course, and think on Him who freed you from the iron yoke of a foreign power, think at the same time, what a curse it would have been fur the nation· think on Washin(J'.

' . b

ton, the illustrious father of our country, and ·bis dark, rlreary, bleflk winter at Valley Forge, there to gain· for us freedom and our Republic, be wept as he implor(lel God's just assistance, we too, owe him a boundless debt or gratitude for having granted to \Vasbington, and preserved for us and Otir children, our liberty. Let us be grateful to Him and be grateful American!

STREET MUSICIANS.

The American people love music, and as there are all classes of society they utilize all grades ofmusic£rom

· W.agner's.Triology to themodern "He's all right" cam­paign whistle. When the poet said that "music hath charms to soothe the savage beast and soften rocks " it was of the former stamp that he was speaking. I doubt very much i£ the rhymster ever heard the elevated tone of some of our Bohemian Bands or our "all the po.r• ular airs hand-organs." Unhappily, or happily, he was an Englishman and lived many years before our street music, · such as is in vogue to-day, became popular: {£ it were otherwise he might have changed his mind and our literature might have been minus one o£ its jewels and some lunatic asylum plus another maniac.

The sweet flow of melodic harmony (pardon the ex­pression, we use it because its bad to repeat) which lets its sel£ loose on the morning air of some of our mod­erate sized cities, has become more or less a natio~al characteristic. Seldom outside of America do you find the six-instrument Dutch band piping their chestnuts in the muddy gutters. It's American, ye know! Yet extremely interesting to take cognizance of, ( i.£ not to listen to) . Who is that doubled up behind that green bo~. near that cellar door there? That is an organ grmder. You are expected to drop a penny, two, or a nickle into his cup, £or poor fellow he is a "blind-man." But busin~ss is business. It's too t~esometosit cramp­C<lup hehmd an organ two days m succession ~ro d

not be surprised to bt) ~ccosted by t.his self-sau1e indi-. vidud to-morrow in the park, not blind but bearing around his neck the sign "H elp the old sqldier." It's to blind you this time. ·

We often find rare artistic studies in the persons of some of these wandering musicia.u.s, especially in the East. Here are landed directly a number of Italian peasants. Rigged in their divers-coloured costumes, their complexion a rich olive. A more pict uresque fig,. ure one can scarcely imagine than one of these m aid­ens standing on the curb-stone playing an accordion. They are wonderfully gmceful in their movements Rnd t\ey usudly pose with a slight inclination of the head, looking pe.-haps for a benificent hand to appear at the window above.

But the Itali r!.n men areas common-place and ungain­ly as their sisters are unique and attnwtive. They gen­erally dress likeour "old reliable tramp." Butt.he mu­sic they discourse is far ahead of any other heard iu our streets as made by beggars. They <1re commonly found in gc oups of three, playing on a fiute, harp and violin. Eesides being of a grade far above ani othe~, .. their music is executed better and on more melodious inst•·uments.

But of all excruciatingly dete. table annoyllnces (even these words don'thalf express it) the hand-orgc1n fiend with the monkey carries off the palm,- likewise he car­ries off a large proportion of our superfluous "cuss­words" and a small percentage of a nickle. His organ is sure to contain the very oldest of the old, arranged as the very longest of the long. One piece, "The Last Rose o£ Summer" for instance, and the monkey, will constitute a repe·rtoire. Sometimes a rare treat will come in~the shape o£ two selections (selector R. I. P. ), the aforesaid "Last R. " with the addition of "Home Sweet Home" and ten varir tions. Conce:t:ts of this character are generally given a transieut audienee. However we frequently see the "dago" and his monkey off among the residences playing to a, crowd of perhaps a dozen juvenile Americans, with their hands clasped . behind their backs and their little mouths agap. whq watch . with the greatest satisfaction the antics of the monkey on a gate-post, ringing a door-bell, or offering his cup to one of them. When the organist has finished, he pleads in broken English, "Giva de monk a pen." If the pennies . are forthcoming he will rem ain for another tune, if not, he gives the monk's rope a pull . and with his pet on his shoulder moves to <'m­other row of houses, But the same crowd generally follows for two or three blocks, and i£ they. drop off their places are soon filled by otherchildren.

There are many other classes of common musicians found, on onr f:l treetB but those I have mentioned are

the real "characters." They pl~y and pt.wy ~11 day lon · with nobody to listen to. their discordant roelodi&;, yet out of the stray pennies that find their way to their cnps and caps they pick out enough at n.igktfa,U 'to buy a few meagre rations. So from day to d..ay they ma.uage to keep body aml soul together and hide them .. selves under a few rags, while they spend their hour upon the stage of life.

se passe à mesure que les uns clécou vrent la vérité et que les au tres s'effacent, cependant l'entêtement con­dnisa,nt l'homme a bien des choses, l'on trouve tou­jours moyen de remplacer les chefs aussitôt que la mort les enlève. Le sujet est d'abord choisi, puis comme· on veut être de l'Eglise et sans l'écouter de j itit , le nom du nouvel élu est , elit-on, envoyé a R.ome qui ré­pond invariablement en rappelant l'excommunication déjà lancée, et cle clr·oit.l Enfin T on s'arroge le pouvoir de consacrer quand ·même l'individu présenté et , lors­que les circonstan ces l'exigent, au moyen d'un non­évêque pour troisième assist:mt. Qu'est-ce que ceht f~üt puisqué d'après Saint Cyran, "les évêques sont éga,nx au P ape, et les simples prêtres aux évêques!!

Néanmoins si le J an sénisme commen cé avec tant d'ardeur pas Jansen , Duvergier, Arnault ete., n 'est presque plus rtcn eomme secte, il n'en a pas moins porté ses ravages surtout en Fntn.ee et en Belgique. (Ceci s'explique par la nationalité des deux premiers fondateurs: J ansen était flamand et Du vergier était un basque) Car vous savez que ses ouvrage. d'une spiri­tualité sévère, outrée, trachante, contraire aux ensei­gnements de l'Eglise, ont séduit beaucoup d'âmes sans défiance, ~t cela dtotns tous les rangs de ht société. En outre les négligents y trouvaient une excuse à leur éloignement coupable cles sacrements et les fervents s'y formaient à la tiédeur, en apprenant à se priver elu meilleur soutient de la vertu, la communion. C'est encore aux funestes effets du .Jansénisme mal étouffé que l'on attribue généralement en Europe l'infidélité actuelle de la, France. J e dis mal étouffé parceque les· partisans de la, secte subissaient. la condamnation sans <>onviction et purement à l'extérieur. En continuant <1

se passer des sacrements les âm essesontaffaiblies, puiP, comme conséquence naturelle, est venue l'indifférence pour la messe, l'observa~ion du Dimanche et cle toutes les pratiques religieuses en général. Ensuite, chacun sentant un besoin de règles morales, c-:i-cl, de religion au moins naturelle, l'on est tombé pen ù peu dans le rationalisme, et 1 'athéisme. Vous savez que c'était pourtant au déisme que voulaient conduire les in­stigateurs du Jansénisme. L'assemblée secrète tenue à Bourg-Fontaine, en 1621, le prouve irréfutablement, mais la pente devint tellement glissante que d'étape en étape l 'on en est arrivé à fieu, aidé que l'on fut grandement par la franc-maconnerie. Et voilà que tout le monde répète, comme ce bon français que j'ai rencontré: "La France est empoisonnée de la tête au pieds." Ainsi vous voyez que l'abbé Fu,·et avait raison de dire que "le Jansénisme a détaché le cœur de la France Catholique elu cœur de Jésus-Christ vivant clans le Sacrement de son amour. La terrible parqle cb1 Maltrf' s'est ·alors ::~,ccomp1ie ((S1;

meure pa:; en moi . ... . ... il se dessècher·a" etc. Ce• pendant, d'après Mgr. Fevre, Pa:ray-le-Monial a offert nne planche de salut en posant ht dévotion aq S ~:~,.cré~ Cœur de J ésus ét ht <>ommu:hion fréquente comme contre-poids du respeçtueux élo1:gneme-nt des sarYreme1ûs introduit p<tr le J ansénisme. Aussi la secte a.-t-elle. rugi "sicut leo rugiens," démontmnt une fois de plus qu'elle ne démord pas de S<t vieille opposition aux en­seigements de l'Eglise qui peut àpprouver cle d1·oit, mn.is q~'eux, les J ansénistes, peuvent repousser de faû Bref' , on voit clftirement et depuis sou origine, que le Jm1sénisme, comme toutes les dissidences, n'est qu'­une œuvre humaine. Une dame · dis"'it, dans le temps, que la mission entreprise par la secte de vouloir réfor­mer les pratiques universellement rec;ues dans l'église d!! cait êtrl' f ausse parcequelle n 'avait aucune déléga­tion de Rome. En effet Gette mission a tellement faussé les idées de ceux qui ont cru pouvoir en adop­ter les maximes q n'elles se reflètent clans la littérature et même dans les beaux arts. Dès le commencement P ascal y ·a mis ses petites lett1·es et Boileau sa poés;e, puis les peintres raccourcissent tellement les bnts de la ct·ot:x qu'il n'en reste presque plus 1 ... .

J e m'oublie en vous ent.retenant d'une page d'his­toire que vous savez comme aucun . .J'ajoutemi toute­fois un mot sur le crucifix Janséniste, c'est que, si les mains du Seigneur ont été fixés avant les pieds, ( opi­nion généraie ) et que les trous des clous étaient trop éloignés pour la longueur de ses bras, il faut uneforte dose de ve·rtuc respect-ueuse pour .songer à placer les deux mains presqu'ensemble au-dessus de let tête! A la rigueur. le u ucifiement peut être diversement repré­senté puisque les quatre Evangélistes se bornent à dire q ne les J nifs "le crucifièrent," Mais les Jansénistes tie.nnent à leur mode pour signifier que le Christ n'est pas mort pour tout le monde 1 Jésus mourant sur la croix, les bras étendu pour nous recevoir" est nn sym­bole trop opposé à leur doctrine pour être adopté.

Comme les novateurs prêchaient à leuT débût que le Catholicisme d'alors n'était plus la vraie religion depuis 600 ans, elle avait donc cessé cl'êt,re vrai(>, à leur elire, depuis 1021, puisqu'ils annonçaient cela en 1621. Une petite promenade a Halhertstade en Prusse leur aider~tit ù: rectifier cette accusation gratuite. On trouve en effet au trésor de la cathédrale de cette ville un plat en or massif de 18 pouces de diamètre et qui pourrait leur être utile comme plat de cir·constance 1 Ce plat ser­vait autrefois pour l'offrande du pain à l'église de By-

. zance. Le tour en est richement gravé e 0rné cle bus­tes en relief, tandis qu'au centre se trouvent les prin­cipaux personnages du Calvaire : Jésus, Marie et St. Jean. Ce dessin est aussi en relier et représel'l.te l~s

LE CERC LI<: FllANCAI~.

Mr. R ameau de Saint P ère, l 'auteur de L a F1·ance, a11.x Colonies1 visite actuellement le Canada et est l 'ob­jet de continuelles ovations : elles sont bien méritéeR, car c'est lui q1.ü nous a fait connaître à l'ancienne M ère Patrie, après un siècle d'oubli.

Sur une des voies les plus aristocratiques de · Rome, on a élevé un superbe édifice qui p ourra donner l 'h os­pitalité a près de soixante ecclésiastiques. On eu ouvri­ra les portes par une solemnité très brillante, le 11 n.o­vembre proch ain. Les professeurs seront inst allés dams leurs chaires, les étudiants auront lem s noms enrégis­trés devant les plus hauts dignitaireR de l'Eglise e t, les cours seront inaugurés. Les arch evêques d 'Ottawa et de Montréal et les Evêqnes de Saint Hyacinthe et de Pontiac représenteront le h aut clergé canadien . L'or­.dre des Sulpiciens, promoteur de cetteœuvre, y envoie M. 1 'abbé Collin.

Cette entreprise a rencontré au début de série uses difficultés. Un article de la charte de l'Ordre S ulpicien lui défend de dépenser ses r evenus en dehors du Cana­da sans l'autorisation du p arlement Provincial, laquel­le a été accordée après müres délibérations. Puis il a fallu celle du Parlement Impérial, ce qui signifie pro­tectorat en cas de guerre ou de confiscation. C'est à Sir Hector que M. l'abbé Collin s'est adressé pour cel~ et les négociations ont été aussi expéditives que complè­tement couronnées d'un succès.

Ce collège romano-canadien ne s'occupera que de l 'enseignement des sciences ecclésiastiques. Les élèves suivront de nombreux cours au dehors, mais ils les complèteront là. Le directeur de l'établissement sera M. Palin d'Abouville, né en Canada. Il est parti avec huit élèves. Les élèves doivent appartenir soit au Cana­da, soit aux Etats-U ms.

Tout fait présager que c·~ · collège sera prospère, ear il est bien patronné et la direction est entre bonnes mams. u c;;

A PROVERB.

It is said: 'A man is known by the company he keeps'. Using a literal translation · of the French saying, we have: "Tell me whose company you keep, and I shall tell you what you are." , Obviously to all it is so im­plied that our associations will stamp our character with some strong and indelible marks. If we associ­ate with the vulgar, our acts, manners and speech must necessarily be stained with vulgarity, since owing to a fatality cast upon our nature, we are to imitate what our eyes and ears do see or hear. If we move in the society of the sensible, of the good or of the wise, by a similar effect our conduct and speech will expose a mind replenished with good, high, noble inspirations. 1£ such can be said on the results of social intercour­se, what have we not to say of the influence books will exercise Oll the people's minds. Our first quota­tion, somewhat altered, will stand good here. "Tell me what books you read, and I shall tell you what you think." If relations through books are entertained with frivolous, silly, immoral people, our mind must fatally again become replenished with frivolous, silly and immoral ideas. If we seek after the writings of the honest, learned and highly tutored authors, good education, lea.rning and honesty will get a foothold in us and shine at all times and places. From these few lines it will be ensily conceived how useful and neces­sary it is for us to make a judicious selection of read­ing books and companions.

ODE TO THE WABASH.

Oh! ca1m W abtLsh slowly flowing Past my native city old, How oft with the red and gold Of a summer sunset glowing Do I see thee in my dreams; And so real the picture seems That I feel upon my brow, So strangely I scarce know lj.ow, Thy cool breezes softly blowing.

No huge billows, hissing seething O'er thy bosom rush and roll -Making bells of warning toll; No waves break on thy shore wreathing With foam every gray rock near: But thy laughing ripples clear Make a music I love more Than the Atlantic's solemn roar When lashed by the storm-king breathing.

THE REPUBLIC, THE BEST FORM OF GOVERK· MENT.

OUR COUMTRY AND !fREEDOM 01•' OUit CITIZI,NS.

BY L. G.

A Govemment is a special power and r ig ht gi ven by God to man of ruling his fellow-mer: accorclinf; to some constitutional code of laws bused on the ten uorn tnand­ments. The first government has originated in the

patriarchal families, wherein the father was the supreme guide; and watclled over every brancl1 or his f~tmil y.

This fo rm of government was nothing but a develop­ment of what WftS imuitive ly in th~ heart of man ; therefore govemment bas its cradle purely in u.e human heart. And history , upon its all record ing page, makes it it.s pleasant ctuty to tell us how happy th•)se people lived; naturally such a ruler had an irnmedi:.te interest in the welfare of those whom he govemed.

Later on as those families extended , as we r;ay reacli. ly.imagine to !!-lmost infinity, so much so that the ties of blood being constantly stretched by every new .born child, were gradually broke n and the patt·iarchal form of government was insuffiei~nt for our forefathers. Here we see a new developement of the human mincl, or ol

wh:1t wns imbed ed tlr ~ rein, the · people chose 'ju <1ges for themselves : unrl e r these a lso they lived very ha ppi-

t ill Lhey ascc ncl ecl another step in the lacl rl er of civ i· I iz:1tion and ns ked for a king; we know th1~t Gort h.im­sr lf, by th e band of the last judge, a nno intecl the firs.t;

doubt Anarchy demanJs of every h onest citizen the

severest contempt. To the several :mcicnt iorms of govemm ents we have

spoken of, may be redu ced the mo d em monare lt y , ari s­toc racy, delllOCt'a.cy, the mixed forms, an,~ tue Repub" lican.

happiness of evt'ry legal c itizen. Whe n pagan Rome ha(l bP-en ruled by ever-y imag-in­

CATHOLIC NOTES.

The Catholics of Australia ttnd India have presented the Pope with $1,000,000. .

A generous Catholic of Grand Rapids, :Mich., left $60,000 to the Bishop to fotmd an Orphan Asylum. This good work the Bishop has carried out.

It is said that the amount of money the Holy Fatherre­ceived as Jubilee gifts is $5,800,000. France was the most liberal donor whilst Lhe sma.Jlest offerings came from Port­land, Portugal and Spain.

The Pope i,n donating $00,000 to the anti-sl avery monu­ment, has written to Cardinal Lavigeri e iu terms of pntitie and encouragement of the scheme in which he was com­mit;sioned by the Pope, to invite the co-operation of Europe.

A cablegram from Rome announces the a.ppointment of Rev. Dr. D. J. O'Connell now President of the American College at Rome, as Bishop · of H.ichmond, to succeed the Right Rev. John J. Keane, who recently resigned his bish­opric to take charge of the Catholic University at Wash­ington as its first Rector. Dr. O'Connell, the new Bishop is a native of Columbia, S. C. and was educated at St. Mary's CoUege. As a student he gave evidence of extraordinary talent. -when appointed Presideut of the American College, five years ago, he was the youngest ecclesiastic who had ever ftlled that high and important otl'tce.

Miss Eliza Allen Starr of Chicago recently gave three of her famous lectures viz: "The Revival of the Poetry of Art," "Giotto's Tower," and on Haphael's famous picture "La Disputa," before the Christian Doctrine Society of the church of the Immaculate Conception, Lowell, Mass.

The unusual sight of about twenty-two of the chiefs and head men of the Sioux Indians attending Holy Mass was witnessed at '"\Vashington on a recent 8unday. Some of the Indians wore crncitlxes on their breasts, and aU of them were very quiet and apparently devout during the imposing cere­monies.

The remains of Sister Bourgeois, the founder of theN otre Dame Convent, are to be removed from the church of :Notre Dame de Pi tie to the new convent at Moukland near Mou~ treal. 188 years ago, Mother :Marguerite Bourg:eois passed awa.y, leaving a record for sanctity, scarcely equaled in the annals of the Canadian church.

Ori Oct. 20th. Mr. J. ~\..McMaster placed ~ in the Bishons' Memorial Hall at Notre Dame Univer~:>i{y, all his fathe~·'s books, pictures and correspondence. These with several relics and the flle of the "Freemans ,J ourna.l" nsecl by the veteran editor of that paper are to be arranged in an alcove of the Bishops' Memorial Hall, to perpetuate the memory of one who fought so nobly in the defence of religion at a time when a champion was sorely needed. Among the rel ics is the life size bust of Most Rev. Archbishop IInghes, which Mr. Mc!'.iaster always kept on his desk.

A marble slab calling attention to the principal e.vp,nts in the life of Mr. McMaster and a life-size portrait in oil by Gregori will also be placed in the alcove devoted to the memoirs of this illustrious champion of onr fait!J. . The French Central Committee has at lengt.h JlHhli shed the appeal which was expected from it. After an excuse for the tardiness of its action, the Committee declares that from the 1st. of Oct. its ofiices (Rue du Regard) are open to receive subscriptions and offers of enlistment in the military expeditions aUowed by thP. Oovernment.s interested in the

suppression of the slave-trade. As soon as the resources of the Society will r ern1it, an expedition will start for th~t p.t.r t of Africa where competent authorities judge its action most likely to be effi.cacious. "Christians of France," con­cludes the a11peal, "our voice is the feeble echo of the cries of agony that arise out of the depths of Africa-let it not be said that yon have made no answer!" Before the publi­cation of this appeal. His Eminence Cardimtl J.Javigerie, who, by the vvay, is at present on a visit to his birthplace previous, to starting for Home, received, among other sub­scriptions, lump sums of eighty-five, tlfteen , and ten thous. am1 francs.

l n view of t he reports which have been telegraphed over l~ urope concerning the attitude taken by the German ·Em­peror on the Homan Question, too much prominence cannot be given to a resolution which was taken by the French pre­lates present recently at the ceremonies in Orleans in honor of the late MgT. Dupauloup. This resolution cannot be des­cribed as other than a unanimous protestation of the whole F reneh episcopate, for, besides the fact that there were over thirty prelates actually present, the absent ones were otnci­ally repr esented by their vicar-general The resolution in question addre -;f\it ~ o t 'te ' ·overeign Pontiff, stated that "the Cardinals, Archbishops, and Bi~hops assembled fer tl:e inau­guration of the monument to Mgr. Dupanloup, and to render homage to the venerated memory of the valiant advocate o e the rights of the Church and of the temporal sovneignty of the Pope., . . laid at the feet of His Holiness their senti­ments of humble respect, admiration and absolute devotion to his sacred person, his supreme authority ~tnd the incle­]n ndence of the Holy t;ee. 'J:he act is expressive. (Church Progress.)

A short time ago one of the most impressive ceremonies of the Catholic church took place in the Cathedral of Baltimore. It was the cm~secration of Rt. Rev. JohnS. Foley as Bishop of Detroit. Yl ithin the sanctuary were gathered several

· Archbishops, n score of Bishops, many Superiors of Reli­gions Orders, and a hundred clergymen from all parts of the United States. The procession marched :rom tile Cardinal's residence to the Cathedral, and when all l\f!Cl takn. their places the scene wa ·. •Hdeed r;·ost im;piring. The Archbish­ops occupied the first pla "e:o; on J,l,th sides of the grand al­tar, with the Bishops immediately behind them. The priests and seminarians were scattered through the sanctuary and aisles of the church. Cardinal Gil>bons assisted by Hev. M. ,T. Dempsey of Detroit, and Hev. Ed. Kelly of Chicago, cel­ebrated High M tss. Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia, the most gifted orator of the hierarchy, preached a most elo­quent sermon. He took for his subject the following text. from the Acts of the Apostles, "'rake heed to yourselves, and to all the a ock over which the H oly Ghost hath placed you bishop, to rule the Church of God, which He hath purchased with His own blood."

After speaking of the great responsibility of those wl:o have charge over others, of the Independence of the Popes and of the life of Bishop Foley, he concluued his beautiful sermon by the following toudting w ; t llS, wl!lch are as it were a parting charge; ·''.l ; erefo<·t: .Rt. Rev. li' rieJJu r.cl brother in the episcopate go _orth from the scenes of your youth and manhood for these s<:tblime functions. The gre;~ t charge will be a salutary preparation for the final farewell to all things here below. The supernatural will more than compensate you for all tlw losses of the n:t.ttlraJ.
