EDITORIALS.

WE HAVE OFTEN NOTICED the labor spent aud the energy manifested uy meu in search of wealth, fame and political advancement. As . a rn1e the efforts they put forth , the time aud anxiety employed in their undertakings, de:::erve set·ious consideration. It frequently appears as if no trial can shake their ardor, nor still t.heir spirit. Their cou rse commands attention, and their progress merits applause. It is an incenti vc to young and old- h) those that are successful and to those that are not, to redouble their vigor, and resohre never to falter in their pt-irpose, until the object of their ambition is won.

* * * ~~EXAMPLE NOT PRECEPT, is the best way

of teaching," is a sen timent widely known. In every pursuit, in every calling in life the truth of this saying may be clearly shown. Examples speak louder and make deeper in1pressions on the minds

,< .....

of those aron qd us than do the choicest words. Our ac,tions proclaim orl r mel'it or demerit, they manifest o1u t rne character, and so far as our character is worthy of rccqgn.ition so far will we command the respect aud e~teem of others. Daily experience shows that true character acquires greater victories and pi:·ocures more satisfactory results over those placed n'nder onr care than any other means.

* * * JUDGING FROM THE .PREPARATIONS,

being made for the celebration of the 30th inst. , it will be an occasion long to be remembered.

* * * "liE WHO IS OF NO USE, to himself is of no use to any one." It has been held that, a man may attain success for another, but not for himself. This stateti1ent is often verified. But give such an -indi­vidual, the same chance of adYancement as he enjoyed under his employer , and lte will rarely fail to succeed. Want of success, on the part of many, arises from lack of opportunity and means. Yet it is evident, that he who is of no service to himself is seldom successful foT another. His real or appa­rent worth, to an employer, is frequ ently measured hy his valne to himself.

"~ * * THE ZEAL, exhibited by the students competing

for the oratory and elocution medals, is encourag­ing for themselves and their instructors. Victory belongs not to the strong alone but to "the vigilant, the active and th~ brave." We exhort each of the contestants to continue to labor, as though he felt that he alone would win the crown.

* * * "IT IS WISE not to seek a secret and honest not

to reveal it." If this idea were strictly ad?ered to many persons would procure for themselves, not only numberless friends-but they would soon become the admiration of others.

He thinks more fondly of hts Col­lecre home where care never reached him, but knew hi7uself safe from the world's a lllll'ements. All the plea­sant memories of tbe pa.st year crowd upon him as he watches the leaves cou1e liJr t h. He remembers perhaps that a short year ago, he with some clear friend watched the same cha nge in natu re, and now his cka t· companion lies in the co ld and silent tomb. Thoughts of a great effor t be is to make at commencement spurs hirn on. There is much work to be done and time is precious. T here are kind parents to reward . friends to please.

The glories we now behold :;re such food for ou·r soul. Io~et us satisfy, in some way, t he longing desires we all feel for noble things, by

comtemplating the works of a Living God. Let us quench o ur thirst at the shallow 8tream, till it sha ll . be ours to p lunge in to the ocean of His love.

numbee •lf te~tcbers in tha t state as to Lli c nu mber and value of the school cl.!ilclren's book~. The ann ual

expense of each pup il 's was about fifty cents. It seem;; to

me that this i~ a crusher to those people who claim that great savillgs wou ld be mJ.de l!y having the -state f umish books. A nother thing is that book~ nm tbrough

a who](\ family with out being c1estroyed, so that saves

money also. From t he ftl.love facts it seern s clear t lJ aL in most uases

fi·ee books would on ly inurea&cJ the taxes :o.ncl that t.o no advantage. Moreover iL must be borne in mil1ll that

thi s J..:a ~. refere11cc only to l, ooks foe pupils in publi c

s chools. In our Catholic suli ools we pro vitl e tuition, blli!(ling

a ncl books for sc holars. We can buy books just as cheap

as the state. lf they did ba ve free books the w WOllld l!e a g reat many Catholi c pupil s broqght to t ll e ir schools·

M. Wiseman.

I say positively No. I think lam justified in being so

frank when I consider the following reasons. 1st. It wou lu rai:>e the tax as l.ii g h if not higher tlun tbe

price of the books every year; wherPas the Looks once bought would in general do in the same fami ly for as . many years as children have need of them and if not it would be as rank an injustice to charge t he m for

wh~t they did not u se. For Catholie people to stand more taxes when no b enefit is being derived would h e keenly felt. 2ndly. They would have to labor too long to obtain suitab le books. It is their object to appoint a corps to write out the different schoo l books. The

only book that now remains of the ones they had in use five years ago is White's Arithmetic. I t wou ld take them as long a~ain before th~y would be satisfied. 3rcl.

L'A1'HOLIC NOTEK

lrifty colored men are studying for the priesthood iu Ito me.

Hev. !<'ather Tauquerey, of ,'an Pedro, California, is en­titled to the rare credit of haviug, by the work of his hands as a portx;ait painter, earned the fumls by means of which his new church has l>eeu erected.

'One of the most gifted linguists of the day has just passed away,' says the "London World", 'in the R.ev .• T. J. O'Carroll, a .Jesuit.' Father O'<'arroll had Illl!Stered four­teen languages with their literature and had a fair ac­qua.intance-that is to say, was on speaking terms-with about twenty more.

(Critic.) L~o X li I has just been chosen by the republics of Bo­

livia and Paraguay to settle a serious trouble which has arisen with regard to the limitation of their respective territories. The nations still look to the Papacy to arbitrate their disputes.

The year 1880 is the bi-centenary of the apparition of our Lord to Blessed Margar~t Mary, and in commemora­tion of this anniversary the Priests of the Sacred Heart, at Paris, have established a monthly publication, the object of which is "to prepare souls and society for the reign of the Heart of Jesus."

The Belgian Anti-Slavery society is organizing an ex­pedition which will endeavor to reach the shores of Lake Tanganka by the Congo route, and will establish two forti­fi~ forts upon the lake.

Tile ceremony of the conferring of the Pallium on the :Most Rev. F. Janssens, D. D., Archbishop of New Or­leans, will take place on Wednesday, ~iay ~th. The Pal­lium will lJe conferred by his Eminence, Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore.

Bishop Keane, president of the new Washington "Cni­versity, on Monday presented to the }~ope two gentlemen of Washington, who contributed magnificent sums to the institution. It is stated that each one subscribOO $1,500,000. 'fhe Pope thanked them warmly for their magnificent gifts.

The Papal brief iu reference to the distribution of the '"400,000 paid iu settlement to the Jesuits' estate, has been received by Cardinal Taschereau and communicated w the government a short time ago. The distribution is made exactly a~ stated several weeks ago, viz.: To the Jesuits, $160,000; to Laval at Quebec, $100,000; to Laval at Mont­real, $40,000; and $100,000 to be diYided among the Bishops of the province .

. 'ister Benedicta, ~uperior of the new city ho~>pital , being erected at Baltimore, received a check for 150, from the Emperor William of Germany, for the l>enetit of the in­stitution. A letter accompanied the gift, explaining the object for which his majesty had transmitted the money. The money will oo used to furnish a room in the new lmildiug when completed, which will be named in honor of the donor.

(Church Progress.) A noteworthy move has ret~ntly been made in :Boston

among our colored brethren. Under the auspices and with the encoura~ment of the Catholic Union, a colored con­ference of ' t. Vincent de Paul has been formed, embracing bet WI!E'n h enty and twenty-five members, with the m<>Gt

favorable prospects of success. This change b.a the satl! -tion of His Grace, the Archbishop, who has ~ppoint.ed a spiritual director for the Conference.

The following statistics of different r ligions in Europe­an Russia are interesting. There are 61,941,200 members of the "Greek Church"; ,300,000 Catholics; 3,000,000 Jew ; 2,950,000 Protestants; 2,600,000 Mohammedans; "United" (that is Catholic) Greeks and Armenians, 55,00C; Pagans., 56,000. The Catholics have 1,287 churches, and over 1,400 clergy; the Protestants '700 churches; the .Jews 349 yna­gogues; the Mohammedans about 37,000 clmrche, and 4,800 chapels a.nrl about 85,000 clergy.

Recently tbe workmen engaged in replacing the pave­ment of the ret.rochoir at Lincoln, England, Ca,thedraJ, had occasion to remove the decayed sla.b which covered the grave of Bishop Oliver 2utton, who died on N ovemb6r l~th., 1299. In the grave they found a silver-gilt chalice and paten in a state of perfect preservation; also a large gold ring set with a piece of rock crystal. By the side of the skeleton was a much decayed crozier with the crook beautifully carved with maple leaves.

In the spring of 11500, Portincourt, Champdore, Cham­plain, and others arrived in their ships at Cape Ma.lebone, the French name for Cape Cod. They r{)unded the Cape and after exploring the coast finally landed at what is now Chatham. A cross was erected, and Mass, with other re­ligious services, was practieed on the soil of Massachu­setts. This occurred years before the Brownists or Pilgrims went to Holland, or before the word T'uritan was eVN'

heard of. (Piltt )

The total ascertained Catholic population of the Domin­ion of Canada is 1,942,248, being considerably more thau one-third of the entire population. The most populous dio­cese is Montreal, which hi's 412,000 C:atholics, followed by Quebec with 295,600. Next in the order come Three Rivers with 124,000. ~t. Hyacinth with 110,210, and Otta' a with 100,000. The total number of priests is :2,01)4, of bi hops, :M; and of archbishops, 5. The uuml>er of churches is 1,5M; and if to this we add the ilu'7 ehapels and missions that aJ't' scattered throughout the leS~; thickly settled parts of the cow1try, we find that there a1't' no fewer thau 1,112-:1 places of Catholic worship in the Dominion.

The Cardinals, Prelates aud ( 'ousultox-s of the &wl'ed Congregation of Rites assembled in the Vatican, on March 12th., in gener,d or definitive St>ssiou uuder the presidency of the ~overeign Pontiff, to t-xamiue, in the third instance, the miracles attributed to the interc-ession of the Venerable Giovani Uiovenale Aucine, who occupied the Episcopal See of Saluzzi, and who was one of the first and most faithful disciples of 'aint Philip Neri. At th same session the Cardinals and Fathers of the l:)acred Congregation of lUtes have been called upon to pronounce on tl1e cause of the two Venerables Chane! and Pertoyre, for tb pur­pose of deciding if it were possible w prooood urely to their Beatification, being given the preceding approbation of their miracles.

Rev. M. · .Breuuau in a sermon at thelayiu~ of the cor­ner stone of a Cailiolic Church said : ''The greatest lUWl! in Astronvmy, AiaUtenllitics, Mechanics Eleetricity, Galvanism Chemistry, Optic.s, 'fhermotios, llneralogy, and Botany are Catholic ones.
