"THE MAN DIES, but his memory lives." Man,r are the marks, which, during man's earthly career, distinguishes him frorn his fellowmen. Sometimes they are those of wealth, station, intel­le~ftial or social acquirements. If these characteris­ti~s are properly developed, and wisely directed by hjm, he sheds a luster, a be~wficial influence, on all around him. Whether his life be most serene, or wheJher reverse circumstances seize and harass hi:n, he. always has the consoling thought that, his ideas were .. well intended and that they were the result of·ftrm :conviction . Such being his condition, he is aLie to meet a·nd buffet the trials which may arise. lf-'suecess crown his efforts all is well-if the con­trary~ all is not lost, for he has "acted well his part. And when his mortal life is ended, and he decends · to;_ the silence and inaction of the tomb, his name and mj:lmoity will animate dthers to follow his footsteps.

WE LEARN FROM· THE PROFESSOR OF TELEGRAPHY, who recently ·c~lled at 0ur "Sanc­tum that the number of students studying Tele­graphy and Short hand, . is continually increasing. We are delighted to notice the bm,;iness spirit manifested by these · young . men. These studies are daily receiving new impulse, in educational institu­tions. We know many· that were,. formerly our class­mates, that are now holding responsible positions and receiving good salary as Operators, Stenogr~phet·s, or as Professors of these branches. Telegraphy is a study in which, if proficiency is aimed at, a fair knowledge of the . Engl.ish . language is .necessary. For a young man that is well posted in English, what can be easier or more pleasing to him than to master the study of Telegraphy 1 To every·student we · would suggest that, whether . his. stay at colleg.~ be long or short, not to fa'i:l to acquire proficiency in this subject. Short hand al-so-is a most useful and important branch. It is, . in fact, often a recommen­dation for a situation. It is now considered not alone necessary for the scholar,. but the g~neral

business man is greatly · relieved, and wonderfully assisted by it.

* ... .... He that successfully conducts an extensive bus­

iness must, necessarily, pay the closest attention to its minutest details. Where this care is,ever, strictly observed, we usually find the road .open to wealth .· and prosperity.

MY SOUTHERN GIRL.

Down by the bright Rappahannock, Down where the sun shines always, The•·e sit my love in a hammock, There does she carol all day.

Warm are the breezes around her, Briglit'ned by the sun's sparkling beams Above her sings many a fine songster, Belt)w rolls the crystalline stream.

The j oy on her face is as bright, The mu1-ic of her voice is as clear, As if she took a fond delight In thinking some dear one waH near.

Hrr face is her heart's sweet mirror, . Her voice speaks well of a life,

Which is by far much dearer To her God, than to this earthly strife.

Then sing there, my l ove, in your glory, A trne ~outhern girl always be, Your name will live long linked in story

· And you'll be far dearer to me

The above piece is to be sung by Col. Rubens in G us. Ricou's latest melodrama " The ·wrong Cause."

HAS AMERICA A POET WORTHY TO RANK AMONG THE THIRTEEN GREAT AND

IMMORTAL POETIC LIGHTS?

NEGATIVE.

As I h:we been awarded thehonor of maintaining the glory of the immortal Thirteen from being tarnished hy the · admission of those who do not belong to their rank, I will endeavor to the utmost of my ability to persuade you that my opponen t has been given a subj ect which he canno t sushin, although we all would wish that he could, as we are all true-hearted and loyal Americans. But honor must be given to whom honor is due, so let e.u.ch take his place in tile arena of poetry and let those who have ascended the almost impreg­nable mount of Parnassus not be dishonored by being compared to those who have been unable to reach its ·snmmit on acco~nt of the craggy !l-nd immense rocks which they eould not smmount for lack of that strength -Gen ius:

It is true America has produced a poet, but whether she is able to rank him among the glorious Thirteen of

British immortals is what I am goin~ to an!'lwer. First of all we must notice who th·e Tb.irteen are. I have no doubt you already know them, for where is be who speaks and reads tbe English tongue who could not have beard of Chancer, Spencer, S.bJ;~.!t..Bspea re , Milton, .. Dryden, Pope, Gray, B!.p-ns, Worclswortb, Co leridge, Byron, Shelly and Keat{(. Where is he who does not know that -when England 's name shall be written in the history of the past, these illustrious sons shall be read and commented upon by industri ous students as Horace, Virgil, and Homer are being mastieated to-clay? ""here is he that says English Literature shall die with the scenes and actions it represents ? I am not afraid -to boldly state, tLere is no 011e who da;es to answer my questi0n. Has American literature yet produced a poet whose harmon.io•Js verses shall ex ist when 1utme gener­ations shall read of that glorious U uited States which had disappeared ft·om the face of the globe thousan(ls of years in the past? Where is that Americ;.,n Puet who can shine through ages and ages as Sltal{espeare, Byron, Mil ton and ~belly have rl one'r I will give you the answer of one competent to jurlgc-Bi~hop Spnlding -who said, "as ye t America has given but. a page in the history of English Literature," and he bas spoken

· truly~ ·

My opponent would necessari l ~- bring before oill' view, Em11rson, Longfellow and Poe, as those whom we place on the topmost niche of American poetry. It is true they ha..ve made their mark, or as a poet would say, '•They h:we left t heir footprints or, the sauds of time,"

but can their prodnctions claim Lltat immortal renvwn which is d ne to the masterpiecP.s of English verse? Listen to what. Chambers, that standard among critic~ says: "None of the larger poems of Longfellow are considered great. He has composerl many minor pieces which are finished with taste, but they are not ·enough to form a lasting menwrial of the author's genius." He f•tils to mention ar.y of Emerson's poetical works · thus showing by his silence tbat Emerson hns not produced any worthy of notice. Aga] n, of Poe he says, "His )JOem of the 'Raven" colo1ed by a diseased im aginaUon was hailed as the most original and striking poem that America has ever produced.'' Remember, that Amenca has ever producPd, not tbat wn.s ever produc­ed in the Er,glisu language. You lnust notice that t'his critiCism does not en hance the honor of Poe very much. Can this sil;gle poem, short, morbi<\ and gloomy as it is, ran k its au thor with those who clnim the admiration of the world? Certainly not. In these few sentences I haYe sllown you th e value of the gn•at prod uetions produ ced by America's su pposed immortal~. Do not think I a.m trying to lo wer om authors in the estim~­tion sh<•WJJ to them hj\ us, their fellow citizens of a glorious republic. No, I an1 merelystatingthe just worth

of:their cmnpositi()ns. On th~ other hand must I give th'~ 'bl>ii!i6n of different persons concerning the great Engli'sh Poets, when all unite to give praise and glory to ihose tow'ering g~niilses? Must I mention Shahs­p~are, the highest pinnacle of that huge fabric-Poetry; CIIaucer, the 'illustrious father of the E11gl ish tongue; Sp~ncet, whose glowing· pen pictured the flowing thougbts of the Faire Queene, which called forth the gt>nhts of Byr6rt to imitate; Byron hiu>~elf, whose works are a stabcHng memorial of his elevated genius; Milton~ wf10se 'P<Wadise Lost bas rivalled Homer's !Iliad in subfi'mity and granrleur oi conception. Must I criticize these when the whole world witlt one ncclamation gives them the p'alm ?

Again must I bring forth tlte merits of Pope, the composer of'those poems,'' I<:5sny on L\l:tn~" "Essn yon Crit­i:ci!;im.," "Transbtion of Homer's !Iliad," one of which is eriougb to sustain the reputntin11 of their author, an<i all of which ar!) masterpieces calling forth the admirntion of the world on ac0.ount of their strength and rythmic · vetses? Must I mention Dry<ien "one of the great masters of F~uglish verse unrl whose m~sculi n~ satire hils uevei· been excelled?"Notice his pro<iuction, "Absalom :md Achitophel.'' The most vigorous anct elnstic, the most finely versified, varied, and beautiful of which the English language can boast. N otir:e his immortal •'O'<ie to St. Ceciha.," of which a critic says, ''no one has ~ver been able to qualify his adminttion of this noble poem." Are not these enough to give him a place among the poets oftowering fame?

1\m I o'blige:,d to calt fo1:.th the little poet Burns, "the Shakespd!:re of Scotland," with his "Task,'' his "Cotters Saturrla.y Night" and his ''Tam O'Shanter," any of which has never been surpassed in pnpulnrity? Mllst I bring before you what a world renownerl critic says of him, ''that his command of langunge :tnd imagery, always the mOst appropriate, mu~ical, anct graceful, was a greater marvel than the creations of a Handel or a Mozart." No need for further remfl.rks for no one can deny his rank. Now let us pass to Shelly. First let me risk yo11 if yon have ever read him; if not, thert foll ow the belief ot all critics who give him unbounded praise; if so, then I fear yoa not f.w I know that as soon as you hatl perused his sweet stanza~ your judge­ment was at once balanced in his favor. Must I mention ltis numerous productions to convince you, wlten his pages haYe cnrried you to tbe loftiest pitch of imagi. nation: lind :p!Pilsure? My thoughts now roam tc•wards Words'iV6rtb, who appears in his "Excursion" "'ith nll the descriptive powers a pen can trace, a poem which containJ passages of sentiment description and pure e1bquenc~ 'fiot ' excelled l•y any poet. This poem is efi6dgtf to stamp the alitlwr'.:l metit, but he has still n~~r, ~,:·~us other 'Yorks aU of which portra_y the exalter] ,.,.-.I ,.1. . - -.,··

genius of their writer. We now leave him, being unable to deny his right of claiming- our great admiration, and passing farther on we meet Coleridge whose "Chime of the Ancient Mariner," ·"Christabel,'' and innumerable other poems re-echo the sentiments pursued in the past and happily enongh we find him, on account of the superiority of IIis productions, one of which would be sufficient to immortalize his name, and the number of which enables us to bestow on him the most unbounded praise; we find him, I say able to cope with Wordsworth and Dryden whose high standard I have mentioned before.

Thence Gray meets us on the highway with "Elegy in a Country Churchyard" and his "Pindaric Odes,'' to­gether with his other volume of miscellanies. After showing us theit· careful and elaborate finishing, togeth­er with their simple, natural and touching imagery, he han<is to us the criticism of his works by thP great crit­ic, Chambers, which reads; ''A train of moral feelings and solemn and effecting. associations, is presented to the mind, in eonnectiqn with beautiful, natural scenery and objects o£ real life, while perusing this admirable poem, being convinced that his genius had carried him to the .Alpine peaks of Poetry, Wd pass on our wa,y." As we are turning the last crossroad which leads _to our destination whom do we meet but Keats? We notice in his right hand "Endymion,'' the standard among his m<tny poems, and in his left hand Hyperion which called forth from Byron these words of unstinted praise: "That it (Hypel'ion) seems to be actually inspired by the Titans and that it is as grand as Aeschylus." As we were leaving llim he handed us a paper, which con· tained the following article: Keats is a true poet. If we consider his extreme youth and delicate llealth, his solitary and interesting self instruction, and above all his original richness and picturesqueness of his concep- _ tions and imagery, he appears to be one ot the greatest o£ poets.

Can we deny the brightness of this plan(>t when all criticize sv favorably his poems? In lhese few pages I have summed up fot· you the merits of the different prorluctions of the Thirteen before numerated. Can yon say, after these critisisms, taken from reliable sources that an American poet can be compared with the immortal Thirteen? Can you claim that Longfellow, Poe, or Emerson should be ranked among those illustri­ous wns of literature? Certainly not, for if you would, would not the comparison be the same as to rank Raphael wit II our scenic at'tist?

But if what I have said does not convince, you then to Goldsmith, whosesuppliantvoicecalls to us. "Remember me, are not my productions equal t; ,) those of any Ameri­can author's? Do not my works claim the admiration of tl1e world's gl'e:1.test ger.i uses?" Let us examine a.ndsee. lH

Aga in, look at hi s overpowering feeling and per fect versifi cation. ''The T rav e lle r," says Jenkin, , '•i s exquisitely ver sified , ancl in beau~y of ex pressio n i t bas n ev er b een sur passed." Campbell says of hi s ' •Deserted V illage ;" "His chas te pathos makes h im an ins ulating moralist , and t hrows n charm or e lan<lel il{e sof tness over hi s d escri ptions. His q u iet enth usiasm leads the refl ections t o humble things withou t a vulgar association alld he inspires us wi th a fondness to trace t lte s im ples t reco l­.JecLions of Auberu t.i ll we connt the furn iture of its house and lis ten to the varn ished c loc·k that ti cked b eh ind t he door." These n.re the words of Campbell, t ha t g rent llOet o f the N ineteenth Cent ury .

Certa inly so. But if any of these poets are a llowed that un;)otmd ed pra ise· which is g iv en to the in,:nortal Thirteen should not G oldsmi th be a llowed the same pr i vi lege? But he is no t a llowed to rank a dtong them therefore h is p rotestin g voi ce fo rb ids those not ~> uperio r to himself, tile hono1· he is unabl e to enjoy for lack of th a t n ecessary power of Genius .

In the;;e few remarks I have plfl.in ly s!J own to y o n the inability of any American a uthor to rank wi th tile t b ir­teen g lorious ones b efore mentiuned , first uy compar ing t hem sepurately , t hen b y irt irOLt ucing o uc who is rqu«l to any of my ex ponents rmpposed g ennises a nd who on account of lesser ta lents is no t able t o com ma nd that high praise flu e to tne Thir teen far great er on e~ tha u he .

qne~trons 6:t vital.importnnce are continunlly springing up ;which need the stronp; arm Qf patriDtic statesmen to gui~~ them to a happy terrninatiun.

· ·· :>in<l I mny aild-tbe tor1.ure of t.he oollegian :s .~fi~ At~f)exaliun of Cana1la be advantageous to '.?: $,t.at~8." Reduced to its real merwing, the

qu . : :I'l ;;~s, should w~ annex to the United States, a couiihy "nearfy as large, most of wbiuh is now nninh:1.bit• ed and much of whieh is uninhnbitttb le? If this ques­tion were put to you, nnnonbterlly your ·answer would be, that we should not anne; . Canarla, because we do

"

not need lu>r. · .· Some of the a1·guments brought up by those who

favor the bill are that it would open a large country for American er.terprise and that it would supply us '':ith wheat, mines anrl forests. ' That Canana could sup­ply us with these necessaries is true, but that we have no need to go out of om· own country for them is also true. Our countt•y is as yet but · t.hinly · populated, the millions of acres west of the Mississippi need but the sturdy hand of the laborer ·to develop the unbidden resources which re<•ent i.rivestigation proves to i'ie hid­den. D'\kOta produces the fi.t1est wheat in the world and cturitig 1888 over siity-two millions of bushels. Monta­Dl\, ldabo, California and Nevada are rich in mines of

' ,&ihrer and platinum and the Pacific coast states, ,r,i.ilarly" Washington Territory, will supply ns with [

forests sufficient for many years. Again, what kind of citizens would the Canadians make? Pampered in roy­nlty, bred to the slavish institntions of the mother­country, acknowledging blo0d instead of brai~s, the criterion by which to judge a man, do you not think tha.t the liberty given them by om government would be shamefully abu5ed and that certain t raditions ofroy­alty would clash against the duties owed to their new government? Then since we are not crowded in these states, sinc8 our country is young ann its wealth not yet discovered and therefore as we do not need Cana­da why should we go to war for her? Aner reading the history of the ci v!i war; of that war which bas done so much harm t.o our, commerce and manufact1,1res, would ,Y<JU wish these horrors to be renewed and for what? F'or something which we do not need and which will prove a bug-bear to us· in a con1paratively short time. But you mny say England will not figl1t us. This may be so ~nt the profoundest politicians will be greo.tly fooled if England ever refuses to proted herself. With­out her cuntinental possessioo5 England would be com­paratively nothing, her position in the company of na­tions would be insignificj,nt, it is only as the Brit.ish Empire that England is powerful and the man who says that she will stand peacefully by and allow another gov. ernment to take 40 per cent of her most promishJg pos­sessions shows little knowledge of England's tacLics. That we can whip England is a fact whinh no one will dare deny. But Temember while we would be . doitig it we wo.ulcl suffer a loss for which a "few acres of snow'' wili never compen:sate . us. Those who champion the affirma· tive side of the subject, point with pride to the que'3-tions which would be forever settled by the Annexa­tion, viz, our commercial relation'> would be settled and the a ll-absorbing Fishery troubles would be a thing of the past. The validity and weight of these arguments J will not question. But it seems to me that these troub­les can be ensily settled. The difficulties would now be happily acljnsted but for the cut-throat policy of a political party.

In viHwing this question, then, in its widest sense, in judging future events by ·pa:-t h'lppenings, I think that the annexation of Canada at this period, would be the first serious fault of our government, the first step backward of the American people and a feeble echo of the time when these United States will be no more a great, a united countr.v, but a number of petty repub­lics existing, as do the governments of South Am er­ic~.

· BENJAMIN ~"RANKLIN.

BY JosERH E. GALLET.

On the I7t: •. of January, 1706, in the little city Of Boston, was born a child who, without fortune, · fam ily 'COnnections or pa.tronage, self-prompted and almost self-taught, was to play an important role in the history of the early days of our country. This child was the great Benjamin Franklin. His parents were poor - his fa tuer was a tallow-chanrller-and were in the humblest circumstances. He conlrl not, as Jenkins says, ' 'boastof:my other nobi lity than nature's heraldry of honest labor.' ' He was er.rly apprenticed to his father's trade and it was while engaged in molding candles that he found time to rearl a few o£ the best English authors. His fin.t liter­~ry effort was a small collection of poems which were consigned to the flames anrl as be says "it saved me from being a poet and probably a very bad one."

·when seventeen years of age he went to England and for a year worked a t the printing trade. He pub­·li shecl in 1732, his Poor Richard's Almanac which soon became famo us in consequence of the sound sensP. and practical hints it conta ined. It is related of Franklin that one occasion while on his way to scho.ol he was met by a man with an ax on his shoulder. He stopped young Ben by inquiring if his father owned a grind­stone and on receiving an affi rmative reply he asked Franklin ,to turn it while be sharpened his ax. Ben manfully tuggerl at the stone whi le the blisters on his hands g rew larger and larger. The school-bell rang but there were no signs of quitting. At last it was done and Benjamin, who expected a shilling for his services, was s-urprised when the man turned to him and told him to hie to school or he would pay dearly for it. Says Franklin scver::tl years later when relating this story ; "This event made a great impression on my mind. Now when I see a merchant o ver-polite to his customers, I say to myself, Look out good people, that man has an ax to gri nd." It is to Franklin we owe t::.e discovery of the fact that lightening .and electricity are the same. Thi s discovery was made during a thunder-shower by sendi ng up a kite with a silk handkerchief for a cover. In 1768, Dr. Franklin was elected a member ufCoi:Jgress and served in that capacity until 1775, when he was appointed Minister to France. In public life he always labored for his country 's hest interests and was always foremost in any undertaking by which the country would prosper. In private life he was retiring and " like­eel not:hing better than to sit by his own fireside and telt stories." Franklin' s character was remarkable for

In the Autumn of his ytoars he retired f'rom t1cti ve

At a late meeting of St. Patrick's society, Messrs. Frederick Dandurand and Mark Wiseman were admit­ted as members.

Commissary John Coy le was recently admitted as a member of the Dooling Knights of the Sword. We can assure the "Knights," that they have in Mr. Coy le, a mem her who will in no way detract from the admirable reputation whtch the society hHs hitherto borne, but on the contm~·y, will help much in sustaining this repu-­tation.

Serg: at Arms ()le:.ory, of St. Patrick's society is de­tained n.t hom e und ergoing treatment fur his eyes. All members •Jf the society wi:;h him a speet~.Y recov,ery .as they sad ly miss his genial presence fro m theh meetings,

148 ST. VIATEUR'S COLLEGE JOURNAL.

CATHOLIC NOTES.

A new college is to be erected at Detroit Mich, by the J~suit Fathers at the cost of $ 100,000, $ 35,000 has already been subscribed.

For the first time since 1870 a P ope gave Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament in St. Peter's when P ope Leo XIII gave it on December 31st. at the close of his Sacerdotal Jubilee.

There are in England and Wales 15 dioceses. The total number of priests is 2,380 who serve 1,306 churches, chapels and missionary stations. In Scotland there are 341 priests; the churches etc. served by them being 324. In Ireland there are 4 Archbishops with 28 Bishops under them.

On the feast of Epiphany, Bishop Keane, rector of the Catholic University, at Washington, preached by invitation of the Holy Father in the church of St. Silvester, l'tome.

The Pope, ttrough Cardinal L avigerie, has sent to Cardinal Manning a large gold medal as a token of the share which he desires to take in Cardinal Marming's episcopal jubilee.

The fund for the new Catholic seminary in New York has reach~d $25,000. The site of the old building at Troy will be sold for $300,000. The new structure wlll cost about $400,000. The Sulpicians will have charge of it.

The gifts recently presented by the Pope to the Irish churches are valued at $50,000. Among the gifts is the stole which was worn by the Pope on the occasion of the services in celebration of his jubilee.

The sanctuary at Lourdes was the centre of special solemnities on the feast of the Immaculate Conception. Over two. thousand received Holy Commtmion. The Bishop of Tarbes o:TI.ciated in the morning and Archbishop Riordan of San Francisco, in the evening.

Cardinal Newman made his first public appearance sinca his recent illness at the Oratory Church, Edgbuston on Christmas Day, when he assisted at the High mass in his Cardinal's robes. Though evidently very feeble and tottering in his gait, His Eminence appeared to be otherwise in fairly good health and spirits, and insisted on entering and quit­ting the tribune by the flights of steps that is approached through the church, instead of by the private door at the back of the high altar. ,

Cardinal Manning has prepared an exhau,:;tive paper on the Ame1ica.n public school system based on the statistics of Hon. Zach. Montgomery. The Cardinal strongly favors parental as opposed to public school control. The paper will shortly be published.

As consultors to the new Superior,· the Rev. Augustine F. Hev.ritt, the P aulist Fathers have e husen the Rev. Geo. Deshon, the Rev. Geo. M. Searle, and the Rev. Walter Elliott. Their term of office will last nine years. Father Deshon is also assistant-superior of the Order.

The Holy ]<'ather, in a letter to the Bishops of America states that he has established in the See of Piacenza a sem­inary for the education of priests for Italian emigrants. His Holiness says: "But we think it would be an excellent thing if in those dioceses where the Italian emigrants are so numerous there were established communities of priests who should set out by turns for various points in n<:~ig-hbor­ing regions, so that the whole should be traversed in time."

Pope Leo has sent to eacll of the French. Pio~se!:l ~ present commemor~tive of his saeerdotal jubjlee, Tb!' · Chapter of Paris has received a magnificent oiborhun wb,icb . His Holiness desires shall be used in gi'Ving Holy CoJll>)!J)..l\:JV ion on Easter Sunday to the men who follow tbe a.qp_lt~l conferences at Notre Dame. At the same time Leo XIJI grants a special benediction to those engaged in org-a:ruztng this Paschal Retreat, the magniticent Catholicity of which'· becomes more evident, year by year as the atheistic propa­gandism becomes more violent.

According to the Catholic Directory for 1889, the Catholic population of the United States, is 8,157,656. One hundred years ago the population was 44, 500. The number of priests> is placed at 8,118-2,008 regulars, and 6,110 seculars. Tbe.-y attend 7,353 churches,'2,770 stations, and 1,480chapels. There are 13 archdioceses in the United States with 60 suffragan sees, 7 vicariates, and 1 prefecture apostolic. These ·are governed by 13 archbishops and 73 bishops, a few of the latter being coadjutors, who, with the vicars apostolic, have titular sees in infidel countrias. Administrators rule in the vacant sees of Natchez, Miss., and Richmond, Va., and 8 mitered abbots have sway over that number of relig'ious communities.

The progress of Catholicity in Australia is remarkable. In the diocese of Sydney alone, which is ruled by the Car­dinal .Archbishop of Sydney, there are 140 churches and chapels, nearly lilO priests, over 300 religious teachers, 428 mms, 79 religious brothers, 120 schools, four colleges, one University college, one Ecclesiastical Seminary (costing nearly $80,000), three hospitals, three orphanages, one iQ­dustrial school, two Magdalen Refuges, two Homes for the Aged Poor, one Nnrsing Home, one Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb. The Catholic population of the diocese i-s · about 120,000, and then are 20,000 children attending the Catholic schools.

The fi rot .American pilgrimage to Rome and the Holy Land is being arranged to leave New York on February 22nd. by the Hamburg steamer Wieland, under the auspices of the Very l'tev. Chas. A. Vissani whom the Popj:l has made curator of the interests of the Hol()ly Land. If possible the party will number 150, of which the names of 75 have already be:m secured, including Bishops Wigger and Rademacher and twenty-nine priests. The cost is estimated at $650 a head. The p.q,rt y will go first ·to Paris, thence by way of Nice, Florence, Pisa., and other places of note to Rome, where the Pope will give them a special audienQe. They will embark for Egypt at Naples, and expect to rea~h Jaffa, in Palestine, about March 7th. Bethlehem, the Dead Sea, the J orda.n, and all the noted spots of Holy Writ will be seen before the return home is made. Privileges have · ' been gra.nted the pilgrims. By special apostolic indult Mass will be permitted to be said at sea. (Catholic Columbian.)

Letters Apostolic received from Rome announce that Rt. Rev. Rupert Seidenbusch ha.YiJilg on account of pro­longed ill-health, petitioned to be freed from the duties of Vicar .Apostolic of Northern Minnesota, the matter was-: by the Rt. Hev. Secretary · of the Propaganda brought before the Holy Father in the audience of November 15th., and the Bishop's resignation of his title and office of Vicar Apostolic was duly accepted. Other Letters Apostolic make known that, until other provision shall be made, the Holy . Father entrusts to the Most Rev . .Archbishop of St. Paul the administration spiritua.l and terp.poral of the Vicafiate ,of . Northern 1Ylinnesota. ' ·
