MOTHER.

:i\Iotlwr-, n crenture, of fondness and meekness,

IUc~cr and <1earer than earth's precious gold,

Mother-a treasure of exquisite sweetness

Of affection trnnscendant-affection untold !

Tho: lightnings may leap, and tempests may snarl,

And Life's 0cean billows dash upwards on high ,

Her presence resembles the songbird's sweet carol,

Or beauon light gle..'l.ming from out that dark sky.

In t.he dawn of existence by our cracUe lone watching,

Bhe joys in our joys-she weeps in woes,

Each litt le s-yllable dropped eve1· catching,

)_Ve her fond comrad<>s wherever she goes:

In sorrows and pains of life's autumn season,

Abandoned by dearest, the fondest, the few'

'Vell we can utter with confident reason,

"Of all in the world she's constant and true.

Other mn.y .flatter, some few may cherish.

May seem to caress with heaven's own love,

•

But friends even truest, lil'e fall leaves shall perish,

,Like long .fleecy clouds shall constantly move:

She like the ivy that grows in the wildwood,

That clings to the tree till its final decay,

She, the protector, the guardian of childhood,

Shall never forsake us, shall never betray.

Hers is the bright light, that warms the fireside,

Hers is the magic that circles the home,

She is the angel that watches the bedside,

·when Sickness and Sorrow with dusky wings come :

When Adversity's winds around us loud bellow,

· Howling, whilst seeking their prey to devour,

Het~ words are the rainbow so peaceful and p1ellow

That girdles our pathway after the shower.

Faithful as sunshine that comes in the morning,

Faithful as starlight that comes in the eve,

True as the springtime, each valley adorning,

Nor chaplet of roses did son ever weave,

Half so expressive of that odor of beauty

That clings 'round thE, shine of a fond mother's fame,

Earth's noblest tribute-our tbndest duty

To reverence, to worship that loveliest name.

LITTLE WILLIE. (Concluded.

Five minutes later he rolled his glaring eyes again -struggled faintly-gasped-and died. The mother, kneeling by the bed-side, gazed for a moment upon the pale corpse; but seeing Willie no longer there, all the pent up agony of her soul suddenly burst forth in a perfect storm of grief. She could scarcely be controlled. "0h Willie l 'Villie! Willie !" she would exclaim, "why were yon taken a way from us !" Then wringing her hands, she would pour furth her sorrow in such a .flood of tears, that it wou-ld seem as 1f her cup of bitterness were full to overflowing. The father, too, telt the heavy blow.

172 ST. VIATEUR'S COLLEGE JOURNAL.

Rising fro m beside the little • corpse of his once fai r child, hi s bosom heaven ·with emotion, and big tears roll eel down his checks; for ·willi e was the prid e of his hc:trt nnd th e to u11 rln.ti on of all his hope.

Two nays later a small procession of people went forth fr•)m thn,t lonely cottng<?, headed by six J ittle children clothed in t he li very of sorrow, and bearing in thei r midst a smn,ll snow-white coflin cleeked with the mos~ beautit"11 l finwcrs. It moved towards the Chnrph, >U1d hn,ving e1,terecl, soon c:,me forth aml pa,;sed on ton. r emote corner of the gravey:nd. H<'re they paused, and, lowcr­i11g 't.hc littl e coffin in tl1e grave prepared for it , con-

. signe<1 to i ts pr imitive element nll tha,t was mortal of poor little \ 'Vi ll ie. Thnt night in their l<nvly cottn gr, besid e n, clim taper, the beren,vecl parents sat lonely and n,lone. They thought of poor Willie, assuring each other that he · was in heaven, and. wonrlering if they wou ld ever meet h im in the life to come. They reflected upon t.he nothingn.ess of th is world's gifts, al1(1 determined henceforth to plaee all their hopes in Heaven- to spend the rest of their days in serv ing God, so that they may perhaps yet be uniterl with thei r darl ing boy, n.ncl en­j oy with him the blessings of a. happy eternity.

To-day the little cott~ge back in the fie lds is crumbling into r uin . Tnll weecls ann rank grass grow wild ly arcund it, the wind whistles thro ugh it ,1nd the night owl hoots from its broken casement. In the Chmch­y ard by 'che .roa dside, close to the spot where \ 'Villi e was long ago laid to rest, two other moulds of earth ma,y be seen. No stones t ell who t hey are that sleep below, but every body knows they nre the parents of poor l ittle W illie. They lived a good life, they cl iecl a good death, and now they are most probably united with their d:n ling boy in H eaven.

CHEERFULNESS . .

In the f01~m n.tion of character the beantiful quality of cheerfu lness should never be overlooked. It is the most important of the sochl virtues- one which is pleasing m•d acceptable to everybody,· and upon which mueh of t he j oy nnd happiness of life depe1)cl. A cheerful coun­tenance is never shnnned or despised; it rather attmcts, diffusing its brightness upon all with whom it comes in contact, and in a manner communicating to" them t!:>.e happy spirit that inspires i t. It is the most reliable evidence of our own intem al peace mzd contentment, and constitutes one of the surest n.nd most efficacious means of promoting the happiness of those around us. Indeed it is almost impossible to be unhappy in the

midst of cheerfu lness. The hardest frost of 'vinter n.l ways melts before the summer sm1; so the sourest temper sw·eetens and brightens in the atmosphere of continuous good lmmoi'. As well night fi.>g, and cloud , and vapor, l1ope to cling to the sun-illnmiued bndscnpe, as sullenness nncl morosencsstocombatjovinl speech and exhilerating l:w gliter. Like the morning benms of the su n, the light of a cheerfu l face spren.rls rncl iant brightness, where before was nothing but chrlmrss and gloom. \Vbo, th <:.refore, would allow hi :; life to become miserable, aucl hi s days to rlrng heav ily, when, by the cultivation of a. plensing and ioyous di sp~>s i t i on, the most. di smn,J shadows will van ish and the pure lig ht of happiness burst forth nron n c~ ns. In youth ttlis beautiful virtue should be cs­pecinlly nttenckd to. Tt will mnke ,.our company plen.sing and :'lgree!l ble, it will gn.in tor us nnmerable friends, and it wi ll clitfn sc an attrnntive Lrightness around the higher perfections of b eC~.rt and intellect . It is next .to impo~si­

ble to cren.te a favora ble impression upon those around ns when onr temper is sull en and morose. To gnin .the good will of our fellow-men, we must be cheerful; we throw off the chrk m~ntle of gloom and drj ection, tbn s proving to the m that we have a regard for tbe feelin gs of otberl', and t.ha,t we have a rlesire to promote their h:·;pp ill e~ s, even though our own hen.rts be sore anrl sad. 1\'Inch, too, of the joy and peace of after lite will dr­pencl npon the early cnl ti vn,tion ofthis v irtue of cheer­fulness. There is no lYtth ·but wi ll be easier travell ed, no lond but will be lighter, no 1'h!1clow on hcnrt or brain , but wi 11 be v::tn ish sooner in the presence of determ ined good humor. Tn1 e incle'ecl , it is not always e:1sy to we:1r a p lensing countenance when n:1nght li es beneath it but sn.cl ness anrl sorrow ; bnt, thongh such times be common in men's lives, we mnst never theless fight bmvcly, mHl ~trive 9S best we can to <li slorl gc that arch-enemy ofonr happiness. Remember well th:tt sullen g loom nncl pas­sionate despair do nothing bnt multip ly thorns and thi cken sorrow; that the ills of life must visit us sooner or later, and that if we accept them in pleasn.nt cheer, they will tnrn to good in our hftnds, and thus lose their apparent sting. There is nothing, in cl eecl , more heantiful and Christiml-l ike than calm n.ud checrfLl l resignation in ad versity. Dark clouds of tronble, care, and anx iety, will certainly often steal ronnel us; but bright smiles and joyous wor ds, l ike the sunlight of heaven, will paint on their bosom the beautiful rainbow of love and peace, and thus make them l•>vely in the midst of their gloom.

It should be a r ule in t he con <l uct of every body, to preserve a calm and agreablc t emper. From pettish­ness and sullenness, nothing is to be gained; but from a cheerfu l and jolly disposition mu ch is to be hoped. \Vho that has gone forth into the world, depending upon the world for support, will tell you that urbanity of manners and cheerfulness of disposition n.re practical-

ly of little or no importance? The people of this nine­teenth century are too refined to easily tolerate sour or

. ;, ' gruffy temperaments, too sensitive not to be offended .: by the least failing in point of true genuine politPneEs, ! and too independent to care an iota for a person who is 1

• al ways sullen and morose and has no regard for 'the teel -ir.gs or happiness of others. Pleasant smiles and gentle words go farther than many suppose; they pt>ssess a, kind of magic power, which seldom or never f:t ils in its in­fluence-over even the most obdnrate hearts.

To all those, therefore, wllo wish to spend their days among men peacefully and agree:1bly ; who wish to blunt the stings of life's ills anll to lessen its burlJens of trouble and care; who 'visll to rise in the estimation of tbeir fellow-man, and to be to those around them a source of pleasure and enjoyment,-to those we would commend nssiduous cultivation of this beautiful and simple virtue of r;heerfalness.

S.ANTA FE, N . ~1:. Oct. 22th, 1884.

Very Rev . .l'I·I. J . Marsile.

Rev. and de:t r Friend. I should ba ve written yon long ago, and through you

to my friends of "ye olden times" but thP. f:wt is I have only begun to ieel settled and have been awaiting the proper mood to give y<•u nn elaborate di scription of the str:Lnge featmes that <hily come up before one' in this strangest of strange lands; but mood;;, as well as tenses, anrl all th\ngs t hat have a sense of order, are entirely foreign to this locality; so I will have to give you a plain unvarnished tale without any of those stereotyped embellishmen~ that make Govemors of news-paper­men.

I arrived in Santa Fe some two months ago, after a few week's stay in Denvir, and the features that at first occupied my attention have since grown so common place that it is like essaying a description of Bourbonnais, (to draw out a fe'IV pointers regarding the historic old burg.) old-well I should smile as tbe b0y has it,­old e.nongh to vote you would say did you but pass through the principle business street with its monotonous rows of adobe (driefl-mnd) houses, . some of which contain more wealth within those primitive walls than

many of your "bloated-aristoc1atic" establishments on State ·steet .

Here and there among them stands a modern brick, like an interloper, a beardless youth among sages: thongb the old Moor ish bui lr:iug he in the ascendency a cou1p,1mti ve­ly short time l''ill find it a mere relic •>f anti quity, for no wbere in the world is American energy and push more marJ~ecl than here where tbe nativ<~'' don't-care-whether­school- keep~-or-not" disposition seems to impregnate the very system of nature ! Tbose, who have taken p:Lins to look the matter 1.1p, say, that tbe prevalence of Moor­ish customs among the Spaniards is not less apparent here than in Europe and the tenacity 'vithwbich they hold to tbem is surprising. The houses without exception, are bu il t in single-stories as if earthquakes were the order of the day; mud roofs, supported by powerful piece-timbers, fill up an ideal picture of Babylon of old, with a profusion Of vegetation and wild fiOWbl'S Of a Liver-complaint hue covering all; the floors are of sand neatly swept and though the modern cha.ir has crept into Il,lany of the houses even though said chair he as invitingly soft as an oriental eli van they will still persist in sitting on the floor. Every house, like Desdemona's fhther's house in the Moor of Venice, is built with an open space in the centre, called a "pla­zita ;" thou~h i t. has the sky for a roof it is tbe princi­pal room and strange to say after Socrates' principle of building a barrel t lwy start with this and build outward. The Sp<misb greaser, the .American ideal of cussedness does not ~:s:ist, unless in border mytholo~y. The natives · are to all appearance agood people; emotional, they may be sinning one minute and praying the next.

Tbere is much in tbeir character that savors of the Olcl Country Irish disposition, generOUb to a rault with tha.t primitive simplicity that seems to vanish at the very hint of contaminating modern influence. If there be one other feature, peculiar to New Mexico, barring the mountains, that reach up to tbe sublime it is this grand simplicity, I was going to call it pre-.Adamite innocence but fancy you already ridiculing me at the other end of the line.

If I only possessed the ability ot the avcmge news­paper scrilJe nncl were to remain loJJg enough to become thoroughly informed I would consider it a duty to brand some of those untruths that have h!3en spread broad cast through the Eest, regarding these paragons of righteousness. They can not be outdone in their respect tor religion or its representatives.

I think the native a bacllyabuseclsubjectandifhe has a hearty detestatwn for the average American it is because he has suffered at the hands of the scape-goats that have infested the locality in times gone by. In fact the district is still pretty well r epresented by the

'rif-raf" from "bnck in the States" and, though I have yet t.o be "Mexicanized" before going b:wk on the land of my choice and of my birth I am glad to state that we have many among us representative Americans who would do credit to any association yet in strict ji.1stice to all I can say that virtue is below par and the moral standard is just what Americans make it.

Of course all these things belong to a border town and create no surprise. The gambling however is without qualification, the stakes running from a nickle up to $500.00 and the paragon of American virtues, even if a church-member will sometimes bold the "4 ones" though of course ignorant of their value. To settle disputes, instead of using "Hoyle's literary gem" they toss an ounce or more of lead and are guided by how it falls and oftentimes the dissentient dealer is carried off a better representative of a mining claim than many a one located in the mountains, yet we have not every element of cussedness for the bunko-steerer seems not to have gotten farther into the wilderness than Denver. Upon coming into the city a stranger would conclude that some local dignitary had died to judge fi·om the figures clad in black, that steal about the streets, but there he would be diametrically wrong as white is the mourning color if the memory of a Castilian be involved.

Though taking in a few of oar Eastern nations, the conventional black shawl, drawn tightly about the mouth, is the acknowledged bead-dress and only a few years back the accoutrements of modern female warfare !mown as Gainsborough bats would be placed ·in the Archives side by side with rare emanations from (lefunct Indian pueblos (villages.)

Seeing that "'tis which is t'other and which is which" owing to the sameness in bead-dress, that eastern in­vention, the '•masher," would be sadly at a loss; the plot of the" Comedy of errors'' must have been conceived in some such locality, though they have raw bon'td vestals here as well as elsewhere that you might readily distinguish from the Goddess of Justice.

We have not the "masher" but the "dude'' -yes we have it if you will rank a sombrero covering a pair of top-booLs as it loose, baggy-trousers setting off his classic po11terns. The gen1;1s is the same; it is true he won't wear a heavy cane becanse the day is cold but will sport a "gun" with a meekess that would make a Moses blush, and then, you know, our species supports American timber, plays a weak game of"ante" and does other worldly things.

If you hear one say Je-rusalem! upon entering the town you may conclude that he isn't "way up in . Jograpby."- lt happens, and were I not myself posted on biblical topography I would have verily been looking about for the residence of the High-Priest, so akin are tJ:!.e street scj;)nes to those portrayed relating to the

_, "'r

Sacred City. The Jack-ass, or "burro" as he i& styled in the West, is everywhere (I mean that he is nume­rous not that he is of the angelic class). He is called the poor man's fri end and is ind~ed a living witness of God's providence: in no single feature is there such a strik::ng 'manifestation of His care for thifl portion ofthe great family. He can live upon almost anything except Western ed itor~als . They have been known to kill, but under ordinary circumstances he can digest a volume of Ingersoland Robert is right here to corroborate my state­ment. He will digest a tourgeroise or an instalment of cacti , of whi~h the mountains are full, and round up to the front door of his master's cabin in the morning with an expression ofmeekness that mocks proud human nature and a few minutes later "waltz" down the mountain -side with a ''don't care if-<io'.' mood that Shakespeare was not in possession of when he wrote "The world is a stage and we are players on it"-Yet withal you would credit this little donkey with doing his part if yon met an hundred or more of them in '•burro-alley" each­with a load of Pilion wood strapped upon his back, which conveys the idea of a good dea~ of wood and very little "burro." But thus, are ilis days spent 11nd then he dies hard-indeed I am told in some instances he petrifies.

In support of his longevity it is reported as orthodox, that be will slip down a mountain side, and,. after a hundred or more revolutions, fetch up at the foot of it, languidly turn on his side and give way to some of these soul stirring notes that are peculinr to his ilSSi­

ness and that have won for him the sohJiquct of the mountain-canary'' and with a. boost from the propr if'tor is up on his feet and away to the market.

Now, clear friend, I think I hnve worried you suffici ­ently for this trip and am twisting myself about on my "divan" with a view to giving you a Test. I would like to supplement one of my efforts in the snblime, for I

am tbroughly filled with impressions of Santa Fe canon through which I recently passed and. which seems the reservoir of nature's gifls, but still have, though western contact has, well nigh rubbed it ofr, a touch of charity that saves you from the excruciating details of " dead man's gulch" and such, for this time at lea,si. In the ordinary course of tJ:lings I shall remain here this winter, perhaps forever for this is verily the land where chronics should embrace one another and say: "Truly we have struck it well" my ecstatic dispositions are reviving for next to the weather subject I feel most at home in climatic ebullitions, so I will call a halt wishing yourself, your community, institution and old friends all that the word success indicates .

Sincerely Your Friend. M. P. 0 ' Driscoll. Santa Fe N. M.

-Turks ! - Turkey fights!! - Thanks given-- The weather is bracing up. - Boys, there is ice on the old-mill-pond, get your

skates sharpened! - Is it going to be forbidden to take sleigh r ides

this year? Can't we make bargains? - Oh my l if I knew .it would not be over my head

I would go and save him . . .. - Lennie has a light little red hand-ball-and a little

ally of his own- only two play on it. Very Romantic . . 0 Lennie.

- Bang! goes Dan's flrelock, ann the cunning du ck ducks his head under wn-ter. "He sinks already!" thinks the sportsman .. . .. . .. up shoots the little black head a few paces below- bang! goes his gu n again- and the fowl wings its airy flight to some safer quarter. "1 must have wounded him, says Dan- see, he can hardly fly!" Deluded hunter, put in more ammunition and try sometlling tamer !

- The buttons (probably from the immortal Old Grimes l~ng-tail-coat)afford the boys many hours of agreeable pastime- gi ving the menders plenty of sew­ing inio the bargain.

-We hailed the first snow-flakes last week-May they be the forerunners of a drifting and salubrious old timed winter with slick sleigh roads and brisk Zephyrs.

- Perrie P. returns from borne with a homely flush of be:tltll-and is already hnrd at work. .

- Onr ''Poet laureate" bas immortalized him~elf by an extemporaneous-ex abrupto-spontaneous produc­tion which he caused to be read by the light of our bonfire lnst Saturday.

- It's no use going o11t bunting any more : Brosseau was out the other day with Commeree and the game is all scared out of the country!

- Our friend Damase Masse from Kansas visited us a fortnight ago.

- Messrs. K- -y and C--k will furni sh us with Greek poems and locals etc. , at very low figures.

_ J. C- -k is getting so corpulent that be can hardly finrl a chair in the study-hall that will bear his weight. It i~ the same with Bib at the fK'tble.

_ Our most expert Billiardists this year are Messrs. Glen Park, Miles Lancaster, Will Cutsinger, and Alex; Gran15er. These are clo:.ely followed · by J. Moore and Claude Leggett who are masters of what is called, in hilliard parlance, the scratch.-Eh, FRmous?

-On Thanksgiving's day we had the pleasure Lo greet the familiar faces ot many friends, among whom were Rev. Fr. Alfred Belanger C. S. V. Rev. Fr. Antho-

ny Mainville C. S. V. of Chicago Rev. A.. L. Bergeron of Chicago, Rev. Joseph Lesage of St. George. R.ev. Bro.· Dionne also of St. George; and many other gentle­men from Chicago and elsewhere.

- Quite a spirited game offoot-ball took place here last Tues day . We began aft er one o'clock and the more we played the mor e we wanted to play. More kickers gradually swelled the combating armies, and every new game exciterl the players to redoubled exertior,s. Thus iu healthy sport we spent the whole afternoon until the bell called us in as the shades of evening were gathering on.

- A war to the knife and fork was carrierl on in Gilman last Thmsday. The attacking army '.consisting of Profs. Murphy, l\lcGavick and Shannon besiegerl Turkey on all sides and after a well sustained siege defeated the enemy and captured the booty. Mr. McGavick after a noble cl1arge, succeeded in anihilating the entire r ight wing. Mr. Shannon advanced against the breastworks and cleared every thing before him, while Prof. Murphy, displaying his forces to the rear began a spirited fight; thrice on the point of surrendering he contrived to battle until success crowned his efforts, and not a vestige of the ennemy's baggage remained.

The veterans returned Thursday evening unscarred­well pleased with their trip. They are loud in their praise of the whole souled generosity of Fa thers Mc­Cm-tney and Deveney and hope to repeat their visit in the neil r future.

- Our musicians did not let prtss the anniversary of St. Cecilia without a salute this year. At the morning mass the religious melodies ".Angel of Hope'' nnd the Hymn to the Virgin, pieces full of devotional senti­ments, were well rendered by the Choral Society and the young choir. The Band serenaded R.ev. Fr. Beaudoin and Notre Dame Academy. The afternoon was agreeably spent in outside sports as the weather was thir.

The evening celebration was marked with features . novel and particularly enjoyable. Such among others was the shooting of magnificerit fireworks, the bonfire illuminating the whole town, the speeches, the good old songs by the "Fireside Club," the war dance nround thefire.and the Poem! The outside fun over we all filed in in martial order and "took our seats to listen to an enter­tainment of an entirely musical character. The Band opened the concert.

Then foEowed some npt remarks by Rev. Fr. Daly on the day of St. Cecilia. We were then trented to some of the finest music that our several artists could furnish . Band, Orchestra, Glee Club, flutists, soloists, Pianists, Declaimers, all in a word joined in harmonious concert in rendering the evening a pleasurable one.­:M:ay St. Cecilia whom the lovers of music honor as their P atroness, antl ever lead them onward to the perfection

i\iy Dem· F ri eud: Y{• ll will 1eglacl to hen.r t lutt our voy­age on bon.nl the Dritaiuuic t he . W hite Star line wns a plensant one. Dnring t il e tirst f~w ch ys sn il cvery thillg Hppenrecl g loomy, t he sea was rongh t he sky clomrly nnd many were su11'er ing h om sen -siclmess. But soon the hope of seeiug the E merald Isle took the place of sen-sickness an d light and glaclne ·s shone on every countenance till the end of our voy nge. Jt wns on a c:tlm ancl bcnutil'ul Sunday mor11 ing, after ui ne clays s:til, nll standing on deck with eager eyes tu rned towards land· t bat om boat ani ved a t Queenstown. A ll the boats from America enter this harbor and friends of tl:te passengers i'rom all parts of Jrelancl come to meet them, here.

Queenstown is a city abou t the size of K ankakee. It is bnil t on the ~bore of the A tlantic which ri ses many icet nbove the level of t.Le sea. On an eminence over­looking the vvhole city stands a massi ve Catbed ra1 of beau t·iful architecture. lts tapering towe r, crowned with_ a large rn nrble statu e ef the Blessed ·v irg iu , is the first object t o indicate to tbe American to ur ist that all danger is over, that land is JJ ear; it is also t,he last gl impse, the I rishman, dcprwting from h ~s home, c.ttcbes of his nati vc land.

Fonr miles fro m this city is an island c:1llcd Spike b land. It is in this island which is about n ine miles in circumference that almost a ll t h<:: Irish pr isoners nrc confi ned. At present they nui11ber abont four hu ndrc fl . No prisoner is sent to th is island unlefs be is condemned to penal servitude for a term of at least three years. Not having sufficient employm ent in this island for so many prisoners t hey are daily mnrched t o an adjacent isb nd C~ll i e ll Haulbol in where they work the whole cla,ys on t he clocks load ing nncl un loading the government h ips. A warrl cr with cut lass in one hand and a revolv er

in t.h e other is placed over (.very three prisoners. The number of convicts lwvc oTeat ly ·increased clnrina 0 0

the lat e y ears of agitation. But t his cannot be wondered nt, as the g uiltless ar e often dragged before the coort and Qeing t ried by a bost'i!e j udge and jury are condemned t o penal ser v it ude of m:tny years.

T he first thing that attmcts t he attention of the tourist after Cork Harbour, is the city of Cork which is t he third in size, and populat ion. H is situated on the r iver Lee thi rteen miles from the Atlantic Ocean. It is a prosperous :m el flonri shing city . T he public walks and scenery . such as Montenatta, Snnclnys vVell and Blnck Rock are

very beautifu l, T here are no frame bu ildings of any cl e cr iption. T he streets are wi cl e and always vei·y clean. On one of the principle streeis which is known as P l\triek's Street, there is a monument erect ed in memory of the great Irish tempcmnce preacher, Father l\'Iat h11w.' The bllrmclon Steeple wbieh stan<ls about miclway in the city ns a monumc11 t of no li tt le beanty . Its lofty pinnacle v isih le from all pnrts of t !Je c ity nnd the sweet chi nJin o­of i ts hell s is heard far anrl nenr. The post-office, th~ custom house au rl the Lutter marlw t ar e well worthy of th e fereigner's att ention. Th0 butter mrr rkct encloses more than two blocks. It is unde r one roofclivide~l by mil ' into mnny departments enc l:t of which is occnpiecl by n merchnnt amlllis st'Lff o1 employees. T o thi s mar­lwt :~ l most a.l l the b~l(t;ter of the con ntry is sen t where it is sold ~1r.H1 thence e:s: ported to Eno·li sh markets where the

"'· merclwnt sell s it nt a m nch higher price. \ Vh.at I h:tve seen of t he country in th is neighborlwod is very r ich and ferti le. The people are very hospitable and kind t o strange rs. T o labour h~· rd and be ind ustrious seem to be their motto. lt is a puzzle to the stranger who is not r.equaintefl with the unjnst laws ofthe cou ntry why t ll cse people are not more prosperons.

Nor crtn I soon forget t he sad spectnele I witnessed at Queenstown tbc fir~t cl ay of my ar ri val in this country · Aged men and wo rnen thronged the shores ·fi·om e:trly morn ing t ill lrtte at night to g ive a l:l st em brace to s:ty the la,:t;goocl-b;e t o the c hild of t heir j oy , to the chi ld o t' their affection and happiness :- who is compelled to leave hi home nn•l titm ily to make his l iv iug in a foreign land.

the dedication, owing to the Plenary Council, will not take place until the 21st. inst.

On the 30th. of Oct. His Grace Mgr. Bonrget, Arch­bishop of Mal'tia,nopolis, Canada celebrated the 85th. aniversary of his birth.

In the dioceSe of New Orleans, 5404 pei·f\ous have beei1 confirmed since last E:.\.Ste t· by Most Re\r. Arch­bishop Leray

Archbishop Lynch of Toronto celebrated th~ twenty fifth ani versary of his elevation to the episcopate on November 25th.

Archbishop Gibbons has receiverl a special gi·eeting and benediction from the Pope, upon himself and the members ofthe council. The Archbishop immediately acknowlerlged the receipt.

Last month at St. Charles College, · Howard county, Mel. was celebrated tlte tricentenary of the death of St, Charles Borromeo the patron saint of the institution. The College was founded by. Charles Corroll of Carroll-

. town, one of the signers of the Declaration of In depen­dance. The present building was erected in 1848 and has been under the care of the Sulpician Fathers of Paris as a preparatory school to St. Mary'e. Seminary of St. Su lpice on North Paca St . Baltimore.

llev. J. M. Schnyer the Catholic priest Litzelstetten, near Constance, has invent~d a " universal language" e:tlled Wolapuek. I-Ie studierl twenty languages in order to con&truet one that would be of servire to the whole world. The rules of this langnage, it is claim ed , are few nnd simple and have no exeeption; any person of ord inary iu telligenee mfly master it in three or four months. The knowledge of Wolapuek would enable ecl ue ljted people to express their thoughts intelligibly to each other on · every subject, just as they now understand music and arithmetic by signs all can read.

It is alleged that the oldest church in Ameri ca is situated in the v illage of Tadousac, where the Canadian river Sagnenay flows into the St. Lawrence.

The church was built by the French discoverer J aaques Cartier, for the French colony he had fo unded .

It is only a small building being only about twenty ­five-feet sqi1are with a very low ceiling, and was erected in 1517 twenty-five years after the discovery of the continent. It contains a very remarkable pictures of the Ble~sed Virgin, painted more than three hundred years ago, by one of t he J esuit Fathers of the mission.

The objects ofinterest in the chur('h-for besides this picture, there are some ancient vestments and a very curiously embroid ered altar cloth-are freely exhibited to strangers.

PERSONALS.

Having completed his term of novitiate, Bro. Rollo

spends a few weeks of recreation in Manteno with Father Chouinard.

J as. Dftnohoe '84 is teaching the rising generation of the Gar(len City.

J. J. J ennir..gs '·84 is one of our representatives, in Bttlti more. ·

Ed . Schubert '78 is a partner in one of the first drug~ store in Kankakee.

Rev. T hos. Deveney '82 has returned from Albany where he . wrnt to present Gov. Cleveland with the cane voted to him at the recent Catholic Fai1· in Gilman. He enjoyed the trip 'very much and pronounced the governor a paragon of good nature and politeness.

W e were agreeably surprised last week on receiving a Jetter frofn M. P. O'Driscoll '82 . H is health which, for the past two years, has been very poor is slowly but surely, retumieg, thanks to the mild climate of Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he is spending the winter. W e hope to see him with us next year sufficiently recovered to continue his· emus~ of studies.

EXCHANGES.

Onr olcl friend and name-sake the "College J ournal" from N. Y. City is welcomed to our "Sanet·um" t'his week after many months of unaccountable absence. \Ve are rejoiced to see that it has lost none of its former meritorious quali t ies.

The "Occident" from Kalamazoo is raising its literary sta.J1(hrcL "Value of Fiction" in the last issue was a note­worthy paper.

St. Mary's Sentinel is retaining !ts former position among College Journals. "T. W . continues to m1ite some charming verses :-"When my Ship comes in'' in t he last issue wds a brilliant piece of composition.

"King"s College Record" like all our English Ex­changes is an exeellant literary J ournal. We are rejoiced to learn that the little difficulties that lately exisitecl between Faculty ancl students have been amicably adjusted.

Onr old friend the "Carson Index" comes to hand this week for the first t ime. In app("aranee and in matter, the In~ex is as sprightly as ever.

The "High School Index" of Ann Arbor Mich. is undoubtedly first as a practical educational magazine. Our schools and colleges need many more of the same kind of Journals.

vVe welcome the "Rt. J ames Reveille" from Macon Mo. and gladly place it on our exchange list. It is well gotten up. "Success" in the issue now before us is an able piece of composition.

Of the Torch from N. J ersey we can say scarcely anything- as its columns are fi lled for the most part with ad vertisements.
