OUIDA'S WANDA.

I trust the few who will have the moral courage to react this compound wi ll not be stunned, too .completely paralyze<1, at, perceiving that the per[.'etrator of this sketch has read Guida /- Ouid::t is very wicked at times. Sbe is ob, so out-spoken-she says everytlling she thinks, but does not for all thnt deserve the med al for candor or na'ivete, for she sometimt-s thinks very wicked things. Of the f emmes ctuteul's, as Louis Veuillot calls them, who brlVe late ly crowded all literary walks she is perhaps the moi>t ab le and attract ive, and at the same time tl1e most slangy aud obscene. This is de­cid~dly strong. Maurice Egan, after wading with her through the sl imy, shallow writers of L ondon hig h life pronoi.tces her a vile old writing hack. Yet even while slle is deserverlly accounted a very unsafe writer be­cause of her pronounced realism, she sometimes pens pages which one might attribute to Engenic cle G uerin, to LadY Full erton or even to a Cathol ic clivine.

I opened this hook at the instance of a friend who is

no raslt judge in matters literary, and who recommend­ed me Wanda, not as a most edifying, hut as a readahl~ and an entertaining novel. I have Just finished the last page and am not scandalized yet. As the novel is in the main descriptivfl of Catholic nobility, one very strik ing chnrac teristic of the opus is the author's close a.cq uaintance with c~ctholie subjects, Catholic hooks, ascetic writers, church eeremonics, and even theology­nil the Lhings she handles as freely as one born and rear­ed a, Cath:;lic. This is something noteworthy aL l ea~t. It is as grati!Y ing ::ts it is unexpected.

The sty le of the work is not brilliant, but iL is ensy, and here and there qnite elegant, sometimes spirited in dialogues; the prevailing tone in what I believe is call­ed the dramatic element, is ol the tranquil kind. This novel, unli!~e others by ~be s::tme writer, is pretty tllOr­oughly English as regards diction. There yet creep in . several French and Germ::tn bans mots-ur1translateable of course--which send one to the table of foreign idioms. In this respect however, Wanda is not so cen­surab l ~, so ('iisagreeable as Under Two Fla,qs whicll, on account of its too great proporti.on of French camp-jar­gon, I found almost unintelligible and, because other­wise unedifying, I relegated to a merited shelf.

I confess I am not enough of a literary seer to fore­tell what a destiny awaits Wanda in the uncertain fu­ture. It is not my impression however, that it has enough of the unclying in it to traverse many ages. It will be read for some time anrl will please no doubt.; th en it will in all likelihood, as many· others of its class, pass into great Obli vion with tht3 venerable .formula

''M01·itu1·e te Sahttamus JN Shall I in a few words reconnt you the story M I

careless ly turn over the leaves ?-The prologue takes ns away into an obscure Hussian vil lage whereas Prince Zaborof voyaging southward to marry his fiancee is obl iged to stop to get his carriage wheel mended. \Vhile the !'lo w northern smith is plying llis dull tools tlle proud visitant sp<mds his impatience in surveying the very prosaic snrrounding. A singular in­d ividual was this Prince. bo immensely rich that he ignored that even now be was. in one of his very own estates which be llad not visitt;d for years. Just hS he was to bid this obscure place a longer1 for farewell, a t all dark figure seen it{ the distance came rapidly to­wards him. It was old Maritza, great-grandmother to a little boy whom she canied along wiLh her.

Breathle!>S almost, she approaches the proud Prince and confides to him the little orphan wilom she persua­des him is his own illegitimate son. The Prince is f0rced to recollect and to own his own, promises to have the child cared for-and goes. A month later a stranger appeared at Maritzas cabin where the little boy Vassia played with his r~worite bear cubs. He announcetl that

'the master desired Vassia should be taken t o some school out of Russia.,The boy, much tQ his regret was sent to a famous college near P aris. H e proved a suc­cessful pupil, being keen witted. I~Ie however hated authority , and longed for his bear cubs and the cool waters of the Volga. One day Vassia was called rn by his tutor that his protector had rlierl sucll1enly~ Vassia was therefore left upon the world, penniless. He could no longer stay at college. Morirza had died. What would he do? He walked to Paris and we loose sight of him through the dusty thoroughfares, the crowds, the glaring lights of the great gay capital .... This is merely the prelude and serves as · a keystone for the denouement of t)le plot. ,.

Here then the story begins and runneth thus. Once upon a time .i\iarqnis Rene de Sabrans having obtained the great K:1iser's permision to hunt in the Austrian Alps had ~;•..-:u1dered far into the solitude of Hollenszalras Castle; he had just levelled his rifle at a vulture paEsing overhead when he was seized as a poacher by the at­tendants of Countess Von Szalras, and was abont to bA excuted or at least severely punished when she granted him grace upon his promising that be wonld not shoot on her preniises. He had been highly incensed at . the in­dignity offered him. Still he had admired the young Countess. She too bad found something remarkable in · the stranger, a wonderful fascination she could 11ot for- ·. gat, thongh she would .... In his eagerness to leave these forbidden woods th e Marquis endeavored to cross a neighboring lake, and being overtaken by a storm was on the point of drowning when be was rescued by the connt€ss and h~r men, taken in and cared for. During ll is l!hort stay he became known, tllrough Herr Gres­wold's converse, as the editor of the "Mexico" and con­sequently as a man of sc ience. He proved by no means disagreeable company even for the noble ladies them­selveR. 'When recovered , be left ' wi th many cordial expressions of grat i tude.

The Countess Wan(la loved her life of soli tude amidst her grand native moun tains, and meditated no g reater bliss, it seemed than to spend her years in happy, quiet

· communion with her simple people, her books, her exer­cises of piety, her wa lk;; and rides through her silent

· woods. She shunned company,, above all that of the (·ourt; all the brilliant charms of society were nothing to her though slle had nobility, she had beauty ancl talent and every acco mplishment to entiLle her to a first rank in all the circles of the great. She wor;;hipped the memory of her r1ead brother Bela who bad been her mos~ intimate and lovei companion from childhood. Yet she r emembered the French M arqu~s. Her aged aunt, Princess Attil1ie, an ex-abbess, often sought to persuade her to marry the gay visitor, but it seemed to no pur­pose.

One evening word was brought -by the servant that the stranger dismissed some days before had met with another serious accident in the mountains and was now ly ing in a very precarious condition in a miserably small inn . All poss ible help was despatched, and as SOOll as he was able tnmoveabouttheconvalescing trav­eller wns taken to a little Augustinian monastery on Holy Isle, right opposite the Castle and across the Szal­rassee in whose waters the foreign gentleman had before very nearly lost his life. De Sabrans fonnd the n.onas­tery a peaceful retreat from the dissipated life of the Boulevard to which he was accustomed. Whilst there Ll1e Countess Wanda after much discussing with aunt Attillie consented to have him invited over to the Cas­tle. He went .... By and by the little boat crossed to the Castle twice a day . The Marquis was a <·harming conver,ationalist., an equally excellent musician and ar­tist, and talked intelligently upon subjects ofscienceand literature, music and art. They visited her schools, her lands and the peasantry, and often rode together .... His religion-well, he had none. All the Szalras had been from remote antiquity staunch Catholics, and the prese,Jt countess, the last o£ her noble race, was true in every respect to the faith of her ancestors. She in her practical, logical and christian good sen<>e counselled de Sabrans who had been a desCEuvre, an idler of Paris, to take up some occupation worthy of his talents. Be goes, then, promising to obey.

An unexpressed sentiment of mutual admiration alw::tys remains between him and the Countess. She makes inquiries as to the character of one who at first seemed to her a mere adventurer and she becomes con­vinced that he is a descendant of an ancient family of Norman nobles, wl1ose sole estate, however, consisted of an alm ost valueless strip of sea shore with a few wintl­t ossed trees and poor fish ermen.

Wanda had an ardent admire in her cousin, Prince Egon, a brilliant soldier and magnificent noble. But, much as she esteemed him for his ma11y admirable qualities, she eould not bring berselfto love him, and con­sequently refused to marry him. Meanwhile it was seen by the papers that Marquis de Sabrans who had return­ed to Paris, was gaii.t bling heavily and had broken the bank at Monte Carlo .. ..

At this period of the story a new personage a relativ e of the ·szalras, Madame Olga Brancka, of a noble Rus­sian family comes upon the scene. She at once appears as capable of much mischief-whieh she will no doubt achieve. She is not at all of Wanda's persuasions and find s the "Austrian recluse" too middle-age-like .... A good deal o£ the yarn here unravels .. .. De Sabrans is invited to attend an imperial reception at Szalras Cas­tle but Cftnnot come O!". account of his late election as deputy to the French Chamber. There came a change

She retllrns home to her loveil solitucle, her flo wers, her people, her schools,' her horses, her rider-the quiet li fe at Szalrasburg She is inclu cefl by ber aunt to vi~it

Vienna. On her return t hence she finrls a ·•gilded boat­sh:l.perl b<:~sket fi lleil with tea roses and dove-orchids, her favorite fl owers. Snbrans hnrl brought them in per­son, but he ha•l a.lrenrl y gone. She in her goood sense could not help exelaiming "What knight errantry!"

Pretty soon the war between France and Prussia breaks out. De Sa brans nobly upholds his contry's honor even against the fri enrl s and reln.tions of ·wanda. H e fi ghts bravely, but be is betrayed into the hands of the Pl'llssia.ns through the malicious and revengeful mayhi­nations of a former fl. :une of his, by name Cochonette, not at all ca.noni~ab l e, and jealous of his at tentions to the Austrian lady ... He however regains his freedom. Again be is invited to Sz::tlr::tsbnrg but does not come. .::-It visits Romaris, his stTip 0fsea. beateu shore, and com ­forts the p(•Or pea~;ants who occnpy his ingrate estate. lt is very"ctnll. Lettets are exchanged between him anrl W anda. JmpeTial house-parties are given at the Austrian Castle, De Sabrans is invited-no.

One day ·wancta gets intelligence that one of her vi l­lages is in great constemation const:quent upon 3 fl oo<l whi ch had been sweeping away huts, inhab itants and a)l before it. She goes personally, does not spMe money nor in eli vidu:1.l efforts to assist her distressed people. Whi le thus min istering to the wants of the helpless she hears of the presence pf a brave man who IS achciving woorlers in behalf of the suffe rers. It is, she find s, De S:1brans. He had read ·of tl,_e terrible inundation in W::mcla's posses;:;iom n.nil hncl cofne to offer aid, should ithe neecl eil. She ca!Js for him-He :d most deeline~, but fin ally presents hims t~lf. .. Their c'onversatiou is not yet a promise of mal'riage. W.-ben all danger is over, Sabmns proposes to leave, but ·wanda begs of him to remain until all is perfectly restored. He obeys .... "\Vill J ou not come to Holy Isle?'' shP s'lys to him before depart­ing home. "If you call me 1 here, I will obey!' · She goes home. Afterwards, listening to the prompt­ings of her generous nature and her own love for so "\.VOJ'thy a on e, and also to the ad vi ce of Mother Attillie t

she invites him to Holy I 11 le. He gla~ly revisits the monks, obeys another summons to dine at the Castll:'. They meet, and both feel it is to be dec~sive. She offers him her hand as a reward for his services. It wns royal pay, for she was one of the most desireable alliances in all Europe. He was poor thongll talented and in every way accomplished-a gentleman and a noblem.:.m.

Their marringe tnkes place in Vienna b1 great state~ and it is the subject of mucL multifarious comment. Tbey nevertheless Ji ve hnppily together, ••as happy as can be."

It is seldom we find combined in a sirJ_gle individual the s~ntimentality of the .oss:tyist, the trutllfulness anrl acc~'racy of the historian and biographer, and the wit and esprit requisite for a humorist,-yet such is the grand. total summed up in the versatilegeni11s -ofWash­ington Irving. All these has he displayed in his varion::; WJrks,-llistorical, bh•graphical, narrative, and hnmor­ous,-displayed in such a rare profusion -that the vast army of English and American readers through the mouth of the critics vote him to tbe foremost .ranR: -of American prose-writers.

The subject pf this sketch was boJ'l1 in the ci~y of New York in the year 1783. He attended a gram.nmr school for a few years; at the early age of ,-jxteen began to read B lackstone and other legn.l antbors. His ill hea!Lh soon obliged him to tear himself away from his studies and seek recuperation in the cou11try. He <iecided on an European tour, on which he started in 1804.

His departure must have been a happy day for him, if we can believe his acr.ount of himself, for he says;..,;_ "I was always fond of visiting new sce.ries, and of ob­serving strange characters and manners." Whil~ yet a, boy "my holidays were spent in rambles arotmd tl:i~

neigh">oring country ..... My native country was full of youthful promise; Europe was rich in accuin ulated treasures of ages." Can you not imagine him, rearler, of a summer evening, when the moon casts forth. her first silvery beam and the stars peep from their hiding places,- can you not imagine him throw­ing aside some favorite book of : ravels or history, and in a paroxysm of eager desire, exclaim : "Visit for me, 0 fair moon, tho~e jewels which adorn the bosom of dis:- I

- t . ant lands. Gaze for me, 0 stars, on the sacred atsles of

Westminster, the dome of St. Peter's, ramble for me a­mong the Alpine cliffs and over the plains of old

·· Spain!'' While abroad be visited the principal countries and

made prolonged visits in the various c:.pitals. It was whiie at London that he galher~<l the notes on which he expMclecl in his Sketch Book. He remained ~broad about two years, after which he returnee! and in tile partnership of his hrother and Mr. P aulding edited the the Salmagundi, a humorous paper afterwards publish­eel in book t<wm.

He was but twenty six when he gave the reading public his If{~tory of N ew York, by Nickerbockel'. The Iiist01"y, one of the choicest pieces of refined hnmor in our literature, is a parody on the early settlement of -New York by the Dutch.

But not till 1820 did be produce his Sketch Book which will ever stand synonymous with his name, the

' cnrner stone of his f'tm<~. This little volume con.tains thirty-three papers, descriptive, sent imental, and hu­morous. In these essays nnd tales he has almost surpass­erl l1ims.;lf by his richness aJl(l elega11ce of diction in some, in others with an irresistible power he draws tears to the reader's eyes, and in a few, 'midst the irrepress­ible gusts of arim iration, causes jolly pe~ls of laughter to burst forth . Through this work hi s name will ever be inseparably linked with Ichabod Crane of Sleepy Hol­low and Rip Van Winkle of the Catskill mountains, whose quaint and humor0us histories he has related with a mast.erly pen.

.In 1822 he publish~d Brace-br·id,qeHall, and two years later Tales of a Travelle·r. '!,'he former does ample cred­it to his latent genius but, in the latter he has fallen far below his standard. Af~er the appearance of these works lle again went abroad and remained for some time in idleness, when we find him writing to his brother that be feels lone<>ome without his pen and intends to resort to it again. The re~ult was his History C?/ the LY'e and

_ Voya,qes of Colwnbus, and later the Voya,qes of the companions of Columbus. Of these t wo tl1e style is en­gaging, the facts for the most part accurate, but he has singularly failed " in bringing horne to the reader the spirit of faith which animated the breast of the great discoverer, wbicL in~pired him with the zeal to begin and the patience to prosecute his mighty design."

In 1830 he was presented with a thirty-guinea gold medal by the London Royal Society of Lite!:'ature, and, as he himself remarks, what made it more flattering was that a similar medal was presented at the san:;e time to

- Henry Hallam. Before returning for the last time to America he pro­

cured the material for two more elegant works which were to add new laurels to his already verdent wreath,

these works were the Conquest cif ,c;ranada and the AlhmnbTa, both treating of the ancient Moorish king­dom. There runs through the form er a pleasing mixture of facta and legends and it is written with a floridity and magnificence which harmonizes most gracefully with the rom antic scenes described. In some of his other works we are forced to admire Mr. Irving's noble scorn at the insu Its and ignominies heaped upon the monks ·by other writers, bnt, alas, here he himself bas fallen into a vein of irony against those holy men, for which it ~eems hard to account in his impartial nature. Pref'cott bas not less beautifully than truly called his Alhambra the "beautiful Spanish Sketch-Book."

In his later clays, when nestled ~osily away at "\Vo )!­fort's Roost," he wrote the following works, though none of them appr:Jach in beauty or wit his former compositions. Astona, an american tale; Abbotiford and Newsteady Abbey, L e,qencls cif the Conquests of S1Jain, Adventures of Captain Bonneville, W oolfort' s Roost, L ife of Golclsntith, Mahomet and his SuccesStJrs, partly true and partly fictitious-; nnd finally his Life of Washin,c;ton which he had in view betore he left Europe the last tim e. Irving died in 1859, after the Psalmist's limit of three score and ten" .bad passed ligMly over hia head. A plain marble slab with his · name and date of death marks his grave in the old burying-ground in Tarrytown, and "the path which leads to the entrance gate o£ the plot is so worn by the feet of visitors that a stranger need hardly look for his way to the place."

Mr. Irving was always a man of retired habits, in­dulging little in public life, of which he has avowed his hatred on many occasions. He has satarized ameri ­can politics most vigorou,sly in the Salmagundi under the pseudonym of Rub-a.dub Keli Rohu, and when the Government tried to press him into office he refused many times and finally accepted the mission to Spain only because he wished to gather materials for his many works on that country. His favorite nest was the de­lightful country villa, Sunnyside, where "the waves of the Hudson lapped the shore at his feet.'' That he loved the easy .going invigorating rural life is apparent from the esprit of his works where he always speaks so beau­tifully of country life. "It leads a man forth a~id the scenes of natural grandeur and beauty; it leaves him to the workings of his- own mind, operated upon by the _ purest and most elevating of external influence!)." A lover of the country he conformed himself to its habi~, every morning he was up at least by six o'clock unwil­ling to lose the hest part of the day,-a sunri&e on the Hudson. He always lived somewhat frugally at his cottage, which, though attractive, was not - extravagant, and his study only contained a table, a chair, and his few books around the wall.

He was a delightful convers,ttionalist, and words and

sentences fl owed out of his mouth with the snme ense ancl benuty t h:tt characteri zes hi s writings.

Though n.n his t.o ri ~tll n.oil ti·og r:tpher of no mean merit Mr. Irving will nlwn.ys be rememl>ere rl throug h his style and hum or. l-Ie wrote genera lly "to pl ease t h& f Lncy and the eo r , w !I il e lw infmm s t l:e un rl rrstnn ding ; he gives us his id eas e lot. becl with all the be:1 u t.y o f ex prr­s,ion, but not overchnrgccl wit h :w y of its misplaced fin ery."

Dear E clitor--It was quite regaling to see our yonug Zouaves in their gay and elegantly loose uniforms as they fi le<l o ut from the Holy N:tme School grounds Decoration D~ty to j oin the Polish Cadets and Drum corps on tlle C•)rner of Sedgwick Street and Chicago A venue. The Holy Name Zouaves are drilled by Cap­tain Boyd of the Chicago Zouaves and number in a ll 150. T heir costume is as striking as it is fanciful ar.d picturesque. They wear loose red trousers, wllite leg­gings f>~stened witb small brass buttons, a blue jacket trimmed with gold, :mel white cn.p witil blue trimmings. The oflicers' JacKets are especially brilliant as of course they ought to be.

Thus attired and in perfect attitude and order the Zoua ves marched through the city to the Chicago Mil­wank~e & St. Paul rail way station where they, togeth­er with other companies, took the train at 9.30 for Cal­vary Cemetery.

·when on board the flying steam one could scarcely have judged that we were bent upon the demolition of some enemy's stronghold or preparing to scatter roses over tile graves of our heroes, so various were their

J;Poyem~nts, and so shifting their conversations: they did not, however, lose the gray ity l{ecoming the solem­nity of the occasion t!wy were cnJlecl upon to grace.

G-etting off the train t,lwy form ed into columns of four, marche1l into tile cemetery where eaeh captain with his company proceeded to (lecorate the soldiers' graves .. This , of course, .they did with faultless grace a;nd withont the confusion so usual among recruits yet so new. Later on in tile day they charmed the several hundreds of admiring· spectators by tlleir exhibition drill.

At 3.30 they joined the U. S. Grant Post No. 28, J efferson Post No. 445, G. H. Thomf!s Post No. 5. with (l eveta l other military borlies in the grand parade through the city. They in every W[l.Y comported t hem­se!v•~s in true soldier-like fashion and m;e a credit to themselves, their school and especially to those who . drill and instmct them.

The Holy Name Zouaves ~tre a V!:'t'Y young, an almost infant··organi1:ation, and th.ey sbow what can be achiev­ed by coq~petentanrl painstaking instructors backed by an earnestness characteristic of riper years. There is ~wery reason to expeot that the tyro solcliet·s-our own littl~ Zouavelets, will nob~y follow the footsteps of their glorious elders, the Ch.icogo Zouaves, who at the lnum­eD:t are g loriously carrying off tb.e militia pennant.

vVe were called to the c iHn·c!J on Friday morning May 27th. to assist at the last sad rites which were to be per­

'form e(f ovet· our late lamentect Bro. Gareau. His death was a most sudcten one. A young man of some twenty seven yean;, in perfeet hl'alth, there appeared stretcbeLi out before him appnrenily long life. He. h ad been a postulant novice for about eight montl.J,: and wou ld soon have pronounced his sacred vows. On Wednesday, May the 25th., he {lnd the eight other novices starterl for the river for a swim. Little did they think as they sauntered along by the graveyard that in less than three da.ys one of tbeir num ber wou ld be laid cold and stiff unde1· the fresh sod,. or as they plunger! into the refresh ing w::tter, that one was to be taken out a corpse. But so Divine Providence had willed it. They had been swimming for sometime when they beard nro. Gareau in the middle of the rivet·, · for !Jt, was a good swimmer, crying "Save MH :'' Bro. Kuhn started towards him but too lnte, he had gone down for the last. time. Word was immediately sent to college and some oft.he better divers dived for him. As his body

had drifted. some yards in the c urrent, it was not with­out some difficulty that he was at last brought to the surface1-dead. H e was brought back to the novitiate and preparations hegan for his funeral, Friday morning. His devoted dire~tor , the master of novic~s, Rev. A. l\laiuville, C. S. V. , sMg the soleJDT\ requil-l.lll mass assis­ted by Rev. Dr. Peborde, Deacon , Rev. Mr. Mugan,

· Subdeacon, anrl Mr. Dore Master of Ceremonies. The choir cbanterl beautifally the solemn prayers for the repos'e of his soul.

. SPORTIVE.

After a great deal of dispatching ahd letter writ1ng the St. Ignatius nine, or I would say five of the nine, • arrived here Thursday, .June 2nd. The remaining four lost the train and the consequence was that we were obliged to loan them £our of the Seniors in ot:der to play the game. But it will be noticed that of the five runs made, two were scored by the borrowed players and o£ the nine hits four w~re made by our boys also; they accepted all chanees a:nd with but one .e.xeeption played a perfect fieldin g game. At about two o'clock Umpire Burns called game with Shamrocks in the field. Hanrahan led off with a sharp grounder but was retired, Lesage to O'Neil, W alsh w as given first hy an over­throw of Cusack and before the ball was recovered he was planted on the tb ircl bag. Whelan followed with a neat single send ing in Walsh who scored the first run

, for the visitors. Whelan reached secopd base on a poor throw of Sullivan, stole third and scored op Baggot's grounder to O'Neil. Quinlan the last man at the bat was retired on strikes. For the Shamrocks Dore led off with a single was ad vancecl a base by Ctisack reaching first on balls, was sent to third by Whelan giving Roach his base, and Cusack filled second; with three men on bases Sullivan made a good base hit sending in Dore and Cusack anrl advancing Roach to third. Bennett was re­tired on a beautiful catch nf Baker's of a difficult fly. Cleary reached first on an error of Quinlan's on wllich Roach scored. ONeil was retired Crowe to Hanrahan, but in the me11 ntime Cleary got to second. Legris was gi VP.n his base on balls, Lesage knocked a grounder to Baggot which he fumbled allowing Cleary to score. Dore finished the inning by retiring on strikes. · · 111 tlle s~conJ inning C1~owe knocked a long fly which

The maiden llffort of the Shamrocks was a good one. Belen who pitched last year for Kankahe has signed

with the In<lianapoli League Nine. We failed t 'J notice in the lnst game the stalwart

form of our old first baseman Mr. McGavick. His score generally stood in B .se Ball-all ehanl!es accepted and D'• error -we wish him the arne success in his new field of labor.

Patrick Sullivan, ~1ptain aJHl catcher of the Sham­rocks, did some fine work in yesterday's game. H e seems to be perfectly at home "behind the bat, and a bnll need not try to lip past him if he cares to take it in.

(Kfillkakee Daily Times. Hilaire Lesage, whose left arm is badly burt, did

good hatting yesterrlny, and had the sympathy of t.he spect:ttor:l. T hey universally wished him success when he took up the hat.

The l;t. Ignatiu ' Club were <lelighte1l with the recep­tion they were accorrlerl and expre sed themselves high­ly pleased with the College and its urroundings. After the game tLey visited. the Acndemy of Notre Dame. Bdore le:wing for home they promised us a game in tbe near future; if so, a good game c:m be looked

for.

EXCHANGE • .

Many of our late arrivals give the various program­me of the colleges, which thPy represent, some few are already bowing a graceful vale. To tho'!e who are retir­ing thu early, we extend our best wishes for an en­joyaule urnmcr, we are sorry you are le.. .. wing w soon bnt hope to see you doubly recuperated next fall. 'Ve will say our good-bye in our Commeucement number, June 23rd. wllich will con Lain as usual the various ora-

tion of the day and a Getailed account of the entire ex erci es.

J ohn on and Macauly are the subject of a very clever comp..'\ri · on in 'o. 17 of the N iagara I ndex. " A Des­cription" is a neat piece of composition and reflect..~ gre..'\t credit on the writer. He thu prettily speaks of the little fl.vwer 'H ow beautiful above all are the fresh flowers l Wllat a charm they give to the SP.ason ! How mode tly they droop their h ads at eve, as if to be fan­neLl by the pa sing breeze and refreshed by the falling dew !"

"A Plea for crank " in tlle t . Paul I-Iigh S chool ·world, for fay is a decidedly reli hable e say and ranks far beyond anything in the current or any ot.her number we have een for orn e time. The typogrophical make-up of thi s little monthly is very tasty, on the whole, outside of the Boston Stylu , we think it the neate t. T he Exchanges a t·e always dished up in a pala­t.'l.ble manner, the editorials on the contrary drop a t rifle below par.

\Ye w~::re not a little surprised lately to recieve a wel­come visit from the B ath any Collegian, which has not put in an appearance since the early part of this term. "Prepa­ration of a speech" is a very practical article, "Ursula.'' we were not tempted to read as we were not aquainted with the six preceeding chapters, but we read with genuine pleasure "The N e w South.'' This 1ft a picture, of tlle Sou th after the war and its wonderfu l progress, the patriotism of the writer waxes warm at time and he gives us in addition to bare facts some graceful and harmonious periods.

Our old triend from Georgetown College, The Journal, is on hand again. The essay on "Adona1s" is good but " Is be a great P oet'' is better. What we like most about t his paper is the exchange column. It certain_ ly reflects great credit on the compiler, who evidently knew what be was say ing in the following: It is the Duty of an exchange ed itor to point out. the defects in his exchange n.s well as to 1'how the beauties they con ­tain. His object in criticising should be the improvement of the paper eriticized.Grcat then should be his saLisfac­tion when he sees his criticisms have not heen in vain.

We have ' received the following exchanges which we have found on the whole very entertaining: Boston Stylus, Ha nilton Colle,ge Monthly, Cumberland Stn­dent, Rambler, Xorth teestern College Chronicle, Notre Da 111e Sclwla :tic, I nvestiga.tor, Kalmnctz•Jo College I n­dr:r, Su11bea.m, University Monthly, Blackburman, Torch, South Carolina Collegian, Acade-rnian, St. Xavier's Collegian, Musical Courter, Supplement, Mus,ical R eview, Peddie !Mtitute Chronicle, Audubo-n Magazine, The Citi­zen, Illini, Kunkel's Musical R eview, L e O.:mvent, Le Fmnr;ah~, The Aclelphian, L ittle Crusader, The Crescent, Ave Maria, etc. etc.

T he Gn tholics of Germany lately ~ -e l e brated the "dimnoncl" jubilee of the ordination of Bishop l3:mdry, a nxi liary of the Archuishop of Cologne. Sixty years of pr iesthood is inch'ecl a wonder.

St. Fl' ~tn c is Semi{1ary, la tely estftb lisherl in Mich. , was a fftvo rite institntion of Bishop Borgess. l-Ie gave to it bi s magnificent li br:wy of 7,000 rare an d v aluable vol­umes. lie has resigned his see.

Cardinal Gibbons arriv ed home on .Tune U, having set sail from Europe on Sunday, May 29. The dis­tinguished Prelate comes back more glorious than ever in the estimation o£ hi.;; devoted cu ild!·en or' the Un ited States.

Italy has los t a great journalist in the recent death uf Rev. G iacomo Margotti of t!Je Untta Cattolica, of Turin. Born in 1823, anrl a graduate of the University · of Geneva in 1845, this distinguished man C!evoted his lifetime to fight the revolution 'under all its forms.

The Catholic Young Men's National Uniun held its thirteenth annual Convent ion in New York and 260 delegates were present, representing 7 4 parish societies from the dioceses of Albany, Boston , Brooklyn, Brtlti­more, Cincinnati, P!Jilaclelphia, Providence, Charleston, Cl eveland, Trenton, Newnrk, Ogden~burg, Bufntlo, Scranton, Chicago, Milwaukee and New York. ·

In a recent Convention of the Catholic You11g Men of France, Cornte Albert De Mun pronounced :m :1 llo­cu tiou worthy of the great Catholic that be is. His elo­qu ent words burn with zeal and devo tion to the Church, and his hope in the future b less ings thai t!J is Holy Mother will confer on all peoples is truly admir­ab le.

A few ofthe master-pi eces ofGu-3tave Dore's paintings arc now ex1~osecl at. Atwood's Clothing Store, corner of Clark and Madison, ~o Lhe a<'! miratio.1 of all lovers of that most beautifu l art. "Christ leaving the Prretorium,., ''Christ's Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem," "The Dream of Pilate's Wife," and "Tlie Marty rs of the Cul­iseum,'' all indicate the tonch and the iuspiration of a master and of a Catholic.

The great Convention of the Catholic Order of For­esters, of the State of Illinois, recently terminated, ql10ws a wonderfu l incre:•.se in the membersuip of that

soci;.~, l body. The Forest.ers now number 4,000. In the last sixteen months $32 ,000 were given out to the -heirs ofthe 32 members who di ed in that space of time. What good does not this effect!

Ordinations took place to-day, June 4th, in the Ca­tbertral of the Holy Name, Chicago, Archbishop Feehan officiating. From the college the following, gentlemen recei vecl Orders : Mr. Hogan Priesthood; Messrs Mc­Ga vick, B~1rry, Mngan, and Therien, Deaconsbip; Messrs Finn, Gr~nger, and 0 ' Bden, Minor Orden~;

Mr. Cusack, Tonsure. On next saturday, June 11, the fi"Jllow ing gentlemen will receive priesthood, Messrs l\1cGa.vick, Barry, Mugan, and Therien.

It is consoling to notice such a report as tbat of the a.ssocinLion ot the Adoration Nocturne, "N1:ght Ad01·a­tion,'' ofMontr_eal, Canada. This little society, modeled after the ex:• mple of many o£ the kind in Bdgium and France, consists of 160 men who take their turn to come and adore the Blessed Sacramen t in the huge church o£ Notre Dame,. Montreal, whi le the rest of the city is buried in sleep, forgetful of God. The women take to themselves the day adoration, so that the Blessed Sacn>.ment is never a lone from year to year.

Bishop Keane intends to visit the University of Strasburg, A lsaue, on his way home. It appears that he will not separate himself from his flock hefore the Uni­versity of Washington is so completed as to requi re his continued labor. Ht> will visit many more institutions in Europe so as to become fMniliar with their regula­tions. a nd also to take note of the buildings, etc.

It ~ppears that Dr. McGlynn has beeu notified £rom Rom e that if he does not appear there before a certain space of time has elapsed, he will incur the penalty of excommunication by name, which excludes a per:'>On from the Church in such a manner that no one cn.n have any relation with her without incuring censure. Let us hope that this poor man may yet awt;ke to a sense of his position and danger.

Florence durin(]' Lent was the scene of a wonder she t:>

had never witnessed since the days of the great Domin-ican preacher, Savanorola. During all that holy sen.son, Padre Ap:ostine de Montefelto held the pulpit and preached thirty-two sermons 1,0 a multiturle of 7,000 regularly assembled to catch the words of consolation and encouragement that flowed from his burning heart. He preached tor the laborers especially , and all his endeavors were to show them the dignity of their state of l ife as working men. During t.he last serpwn, such was the enth usiasm of the hearei·s that tuey uncon­sciously broke o~t into an applause. The priest quelled them; bnt no sooner had he ended his sermon than three salves of applause shook the building to its foundations.
