1tant so~iety, though all are welcome, and her labors are · for. the . promotion- of Christian Art, from which her
- . ·f!U-bjects nre nearly all'ta~en, as well as from the ml\ny beautiful -lives of the Cbristian Artists. Their popularity is not co.nfinerl to Chicago nor the West, but numerous a,ppl<ications have pou rerl in frvm all parts of the country, whicll, from time to time she hns absented herself from
. · .. bel\ .home du-ties to answer. It was my exceeding great pleas~ue not long since,
to listen to 0ne of Miss Starr's lectures at her sturlio at t)t .. Joseph's Cottnge. Her tneme was Overbeck, an artist at the beginning of this centnry, whose works were nearly all taken from Scriptural, at ]east religious sultjc· ct~. In relnting the iife of this artist, the lecturet· would often leave her manmcript and wnx eloquent over the idea that an arti~t, such as Overbeck was, of the Rnphael n1.d 1\li-ehael Angelu type, should be painting the beautiful Christian works whicb spread themselves from his magi<: Lrnsb, all in om 11ineteenth centnry , snrronnclec1 by it~ evils and corrupting infiuenc~~. While lis :e!ling to l\liss Starr the though t struck me vf how :Jptly her words mig Lt be applied to herself. She is <loin); ;t g ,·e'tt ChrL;tian tVo ;·k in the m i1l; ~ of a. great city, in her little cntt:-~g e , wllither she clrnws crowds of people every week frorn the enticements of society and the a.nxieties of business to imbibe sound idea~ for the mind and sentiments for the heart. Her's is certainly a most launable work and deserving oftbe g•·eatcst nn~ouragement.
Miss StHrrisa most chvont Catholic, and receives Holy Communion every day . HP.r pnrse never lms a penny, nor is her pen idle when the one or the other can be c'levoted to a. charitable cause. Persvn::tlly she is a charming com·ers:-~tionalist, a11d a great admirer of children whose litet;ature she has so profusely enriched.
Nothing better can be s tid of St. Joseph's Cottage thn.n what I take the liberty of repr_oducing from a t;e<'ent magnine: "lL is a treasure house ofldeas, which as she expre1<ses, 'it must make the first furnishino· of a
0
h.ome;'-a centre uf art and eduration, of benevolent ent~rprises and social influence, the bighebt charm of which is the remarkable pt::rsooality of its venerated mistress."
FIUENDSHIP.
GEo. E. DoNNELLY.
:Friendship is ttn attachmer.t founcled on affection between persons of congenial disposition!?, habits and purst~its. The origin ol friendship is as old as humanity. If we would wish t.o trace its source we would be obliged to go back to the first ages of the world, even
to the time when the dim realities of the past are intermingled with the twHight offable. ·There we would find friendship not as it exists to-day but in a more refined condition.
l\Ian being a soc~al being and in himself feeble needs the helping hand, the sympathetic lleart of a companion, one in whom he could place confidence, and make a partaker of his joys. Therefore a triencl is a pleasant necessity of man's existence. Friendship was always held
-in the llighest recognition. Looking over the volumes of the hi story of antiquity wherein are traced in blood the warlike deeds of uncivilized people af!d the barbarity of a pa.gtm worship we find amidst these excesses one jewel of unrivalled splendor, one oasis in this desert of criminality. I refer to the sublime practice of friendship. The deeds of Friendship have been the study of posleri ty and generations h:.we taken pains to . instill in you tb t.bese deeds as examples worthy to be imitated. Need 1 mention the examples of Jonathan and David, D,tmon ancl Pythias, Pylades and Orestes, need I say that the most eloquent Roman, the immortal Cicero wrote Oil the beauties of Friendship. No, it is not necessary. Go where we will, whether we visit the hovel of tile poor, the re;;pectable dwelling of the middle class or the palatial residence of the wealthy, every where will we find friendship; and is this not proper? Where is the man so utterly rlegraded that he wotHd wish friendship to be simply a tradition aud would wish, -selfishness to predominate over the noblest qualities of God's masteq..~ iece. The benefits of true Friendship cannot be fully enumeratell. The onward roll of Time brings to each 011e some trials and afflictions, the course of huruan events leaves none without troubles and sorrows and it is then the true friend is revealed. The gentle help of .a
dear companion, the kind and cheering words of a kind watcher nt the bed of sickness are some of the instances of true friendship. Deceit and hypocrisy have assumed
.• many forms and truly is it to be deplored that ·they have often usurped the sacred name o£ friend to practise their wiles. As a true friend is the greatest blessing of God's goodness, a false friend is the best agent of Satan. The hours of trials, if they have not already darkened the sunny path of our lives, will -ere long shed their shadows and it behooves us to be prepared. Would we wish that those dark, foreboding hours pass off without pain, if so we can help ourselves by securiag the earnest assistauce of a true friend.
Let us then make friends ancl those we have already made let ns keep. Remember what the poet says :-
" 1\:lake new friends but keep the old, Those are silver, these are gold, New made_friendship like new wine Age will mellow and refine.''

GEORGE WASHINGTON.
J oe. B. Gallet.
George W ashington, the · fathe r of our country , was born in 1732. His birth-place was a rude log but on the edge of a dearing in the old Dominion and hf' re iL was b e received his education and a love fo r those virtues and manlJ: principles which afterwarc1s made him the choice of the people for the highest 9filce in our land. His· father di ed wbile George was ye t young and upon his mother devolved the training of Lhe family. That she p erformed this dnty well is ev illent fro m . the .car!ler ofher noble son in af~er life. From his earliest youth until he became of age he always ev inced a decided taste for military duties and on one occas ion had made preparations to enlist in the british se rvice bu t the sight of 1Jen,rs in tbe eyes of hi s m othee completely unmanned him and tbrowing off his military trapping:; h e resigned his commiss ion. H a aftenvards said "I could ha ve stood bullets but not my mothers tears."
When only nineteen year s of age he w:ts e nt rusted with the transmission of some importa,1t dispatcbes fr om the Eogltsh governor of Virginia to tbe French comm ander at Fort L e B oouf. T aking one companion he set fcirtb on his journey through an uninhabited [tnd inhospitable country. He d-elivered the messages and was returning home when an Indian conr,ealed belli ncl a tree snapped hi s gun at him but it fai led to ex plode and in an instant ·washington's companio n ll ar l tb e would b e assassin securely fettered and was .in t ll e :let of killing him when Washington interfered and set the wretch a t liberty.
But it was as [1. general that V\rashit~gton exce ll ed. In him were combined shrewd!'less, abi li ty a, ncl thorough knowledge of warfare. F<,r e:x~~mple t[lke the battle o£ Prince ton . Here lt,e was hemmed in by th e Bl'itisb wbo would attack him tbe next morn ing. But Lis sbrewdnPss came into use. L eav ing hi s campfi res burning brightly he stole aro und the British, fcll 'upon their reserves and gained a dec ided victory. Washington was a mem ber ofthe Presbyterian church anc!adllercd s l.r ictly to all its tenets. At Valley Forge when everything h~oked dismal and mutiny was imminent, ·wash ington was not ashamed to kneel in the snow atHl pr:-ty fur help n.nrl strength to do his duty. T o en umerate his many d eeds of rhring would fill vo lumes. Sufllce it to say that 'had he resisted his mothers entreaties and enlisted in the B ritish n::wy, Americ:t in all probabi li ty would yet be u nlle t· the r ule of the B ritish lion nnd not the free f1.Ud g lor ious country she is.

- Rev. Father M. J. Marsile C. S. V. sincer'ely thanks all those who have manifested such· kirid · interest towards his little riepbew, Viateur Lamarre, dufing' his illness, and who paid such a loving tl:ibute to bim after his death. In his great afl:iiction Father Marsile finds it his chief source of consolation to remember the incessant care which has been be&towed upon the loved boy, and the ardent prayers that have been so abundantly poured rorth in his behalf. These demonstrations both of esteem and of regret he thoroughly appreciates and will ever remember with g1'atitude.
Out of consideration for the family of tbe deceased the obituary notice has been written in French and will be found in the "Cercle -Ft'anpa1s."
-- Tllcre lms been a false and very injurious report . abo ut the state of affairs at the college recently which has gained wide spread curi·ency among many w•"stern pnpers. The r eport stated that there were forty-five cases of diptheria at the college, and was naturally a course of great anxiety to the parents and friends _ of the many stud0nts fl.ttending, letters and telegrams have been pouring in sending for boys to come home if such be the case. Now for the benefit of those interested we will give an idea of what the sickness was and to what an ex tent it llas · spread. All together there have not been m ore tben twenty boys sick and none '"ith diptheria. Tbere have been nine cases of measles all of which are now well; fcnr cases of mumps the victims of which are also quite well; the remainder are all cases of sore throat or colds in the beati and are now well also . Besides these there have been two cases of pneumonia vvhicll proved fataL It is all ·owlnoto the varying weather which has caused · 5'0 ~ uch sit;kness througbout the couDtry. All are now well, This is the extent of the "forty-five cast'ls of dipther ia" we had.

CATHOLIC NOTES.
In the parish of Our Lady of Mercy, Brooklyn, there are 10,000 Guards of Honor of the Sacred Heart.
The Pope has sent to the Bishop of Placenza $4, 000 for a training college for missionaries to be sent to America to care for Italian emigrants.
Cardinal Lavigerie is about to publish the striking discourse on the African shore trade which he deliYered in the Church of the Gessu, Rome.
The Roman Catholic Cathedral at Hong, Kong, China, which has been in course of construction for several years, has been opened for divine service.
Bishop Keane and Dr. O'Connell represented America at the recent annual celebration of the Feast of St. Thomas of Canterbury, held at the English College in Rome.
The three daughters of General Sheridan and one of Gen. Ewing were confirmed the other week by Cardinal Gibbons on the occasion of his recent visit to the Visitation Convent, 1V ashington.
Cardinal Newman is in his eighty-eight year, having been born in February, 1801. He is the eldest member of the Sacred College. ·
For the first time ii1 many years, the Emperor of Russia has sent a friendly Christmas greeting to the Pop~.
Rt. Rev. Dr. Keane,Rectorofthe Washington Univm·sity, and the Very Rev. Father Gynu, 0. S. A., Prior of St. Patrick's, Rome, were the English preacher:s in the church of Saint Andrea della Valle, Rome, during the Octave of the Epiphary.

In a recent issue of the Pope's ofl:iqial organ, the "Observatore Romano,'' says: "Otice more we beg the Uatl)oli'cs of all nations not to put faith readily in letters or in telegrams by which doubts are raised as to the good will of the Holy Father towards all his children, near and far, becituSe the doubts, besides being absolutely groundless, are unjust to the sacred person of the Pope."
The most elaborate preparations are being made for the celebration of the centennial of Georgetown College. Visiting clergymen are expected from all parts of Europe and America, and on the second day of the celebration it is expected that many Catholic prelates will be present. The celebration will continue three days-Feb. 20, 21, and 22, and President Cleveland and Cardinal Gibbons will participate in the ceremonies incideqt to the c~lebration.
For many of our Catholic young men lose the faith or become indifferent thereto. They seem to forget all the lessons taught them in Catechism and in preparation for First Communion. They cease to say their prayers morning and evening. They no longer go · to church, or go too late, and hang merely round the entrance. Hence the numerous jnstances of dishonesty and of more serious crimes; for impurities and its blameful consequences. They have leamed indifferentism or atheism from bad company. They fail to fulfill their duty and their souls are lost. (Donahue's Magazine.)
Bishop Keane, rector of the new Catholic University at Washington, on the 18th. of December, handed to His Holiness, a collective letter written in Latin from the Cath- ' ,
olic bishops of the United States, thanking the ;l>npe,.for his sq.pport of the university scheme, and annQunced thl!t the work was making most satisfactory progress.,. ·eight hundred thousand dollars having been collected, whHe the g1 ound on which the building wiU be erected' has alr.eady been paid for. The l>ishops draw attention to the great importance of the University, which they believe will act all a bulwark against the rise of what is called rationalism and free t110ugbts in A merica. ·
From three countries of Europe come tidings which show that Catholics all ove1: the world are animated by the same feelings towarcs the P ope as those which prompted the meetings held at Lyons and Lille lately in favor of the restitution of the Temporal Power. The Bishops of Al!lstria are, it is announced, prepariug.a protest such as those which have been addressed to the Sovereign Pontiff by the prelates of several provinces of France. Moreover a Catholic deputy, M. de Zallinger, r ublicly llecl!m.>d th ~ otl:el' day in the Reichstag that "the Roman question was l.)ecoming more burning every day, and that Italy could never count upon stability so long as that question was not settled." In Belgium a great meetirg h:1s been held at Gaud at which several prelates were present, rnd at wl1ich an addreEs to the Pope protesting against the attitude of official Italy was unanimously adopted. In Holland a meeting. attended by several members of the States-General, was held at Utrecht.
What a deal of world the public opinion of England has wandered over since the days of Catholic emancipation~ Who could have imagined then, a Catholic bishop standing before a great gather-ing of the citizens of Manchester, antl thel:e solemnly pronouncing the Apostolic blessing of the l~oman Pontiff? And not only was the announcement t.lut.t Pope Leo had sent his blessing to them received l:::y that Protestant assembly with repeated applause, but a resolution was instantly drafted and unanimously carried , thanking His Holiness and congratulating bini upon the interest he had taken in the cause of the African slave. Men of mauy creeds were present. uut Hll alike were l'E'Hdy fer tLe time to forget every difference, and to remember only the brot1 • erhood of a common purpose. If effort fer tl:e African crusade results in a. wider charity and a gentler tolerance among Christians, of wha tever Iwti l'mllity, a good will l> e won vaster than tlu~ drectms of its promoters. (London Tablet.)
The Congress of Colorwl Cttholics reee-.ltly held in Washington, D, C., proved plainly that the Homan church h<ts determined to make a spiritwt.l struggle for converts to its faith. It has an advantage over orthodox churches; it has no church wars on account of eolor. The Presbyterians, the
· Methodists, the Episcopalians and other denominations have their divisions, eansed by their quarrels over the saving of the souls of colored people. They have their col0r line and maintain it. On the other hand, the Catholics have 1·efused to make any distinction aud now propose to begin special work among the people whom several orthod?x churches ignore. There can be only one result to the position of the Catholic Church. It will make large inroads among the Colored peOJ)le. Its religion has many features that can attract the unlearned, as well as the learned, aml with this humane principle as proselyting, its work will no doubt be largely successful. It will be a needed lesson to a · color-phobia churches of the orthodox creed which pretend to have so much Jove for God, and yet who will not kneel at the same alter with a Colored brother.~(Conserv-ator.)
