THE EMPEROR AT PAU.—The Moniteur publishes
the following letter from Biarritz:—" The Emperor
left Tarb es at nine yesterday morning, after having
amined, with M. Fould and the principal functionaries,
all the questions which interest the department of tbo
Hautes-Pyrenees. His Majesty performed the journey
from Tarbes to Pau without either suite or escort, in a
light open carriage driven by a postillion of the country.
The Emperor, nevertheless, received on his way numerous
marks of the feelings of the inhabitants. His Majesty, in
spite of his precautions to travel incognito, was anxiously
looked for at Pau by all the people who went out to meet
him, and followed his Majesty with loud acclamations dur-
ing the whale time he remained there, The Emperor went
to the Chateau to visit the embellishments which have been
executed there, and then took a walk through the town,
accompanied by the mayor and the prefect, who pointed out
the improvements made or projected in the place, which 10
rapidly increasing in size. The Emperor returned to

and the Prince Imperial, at the villa, after an absence 0f
three days well occupied. This day his Majesty reviewed
the troops of the garrison of Bayonne, and distributed re"
compenses, meeting on every side with the warmest accla-
mations from the people."

VESPERS FOR THE DEAD AT THE ORATOSI9
BROMPTON.—Yesterday evening, at 8 o'clock, the
mortal remains of the late Very Rev. Frederic Wil
Faber, D.D., superior of the Oratory, were taken in a coins'
covered over with a magnificent pall from the house into
the chapel of the Oratory, where the solemn vespers for the
dead were sung. An enormous congregation filled not only
every available seat but every passage and every corner of
the spacious building, and over 2,000 persons must Ws
been present. Owing to the crowd which occupied the
passages, the la ,cly was not borne up the nave as was
tended, but through the sacristy, to a spot in front of tbe
altar, the priests and attendants chanting the " Miserere''
in mournful and impressive effect. Vespers then coLv
menced—Psalm 114 (" Dilexi quoniam"), 119 (" 1±,,c1
Dominum clamavi"), 120 (" Levavi oculos"), 129 (``
profundis"), and 137 (" Confitebor"), being first chanted
After a few versicles had been sung, the " Magnificat" Was
chanted, also without the organ; and with a prayer for the
absolution of the deceased (" Absolve Domino, aniroarri
famuli tui," &c.), the solemn office was concluded. The
funeral of Dr. Faber will take place to-morrow, privately'
at Sydenham, after high mass in the Brompton Oratory.
THE LATE CANON CARTON, K.L.—The late
celebrated Abbe Carton, a Knight of Leopold, 110
just died at Bruges, after a short illness, in the Asylum for
the Deaf, Dumb, and Blind, of which he was the founder
and director. He was born in 1802, at Pitthcm, in West
Flanders, and, after taking priest's orders, concentrated all
his energies in providing for the deaf, dumb, and blind
children, whose pitiable state had, from his early years,
attracted his sympathies. Encouraged by the support and
encouragement of the late Mgr. Bousseau, Bishop of Bruges,
he founded the sisterhood of the Children of Mary, a corn'
munity which has been most successful in educating eliti‘
dren labouring under the above afflictions. The most itr
teresting of all the lions of Bruges, " that quaint old Fle-
mish city," as Longfellow calls it, was the acting by the
deaf and dumb children of the Litany of Loretto, while the
blind boys sang it.
LORD STANLEY TAKING A LEAF OUT OF 315'
SQUEERS'S SCHOOLBOOK.—Iambics are wrong, bilt
putups are far worse. Making a pump is not more useful
than cleaning windows, and Lord Stanley's theory is roll,'
that of Squeers, and the boys in his school would not only
be taught to spell "window" but have to polish their was'
ter's glass. Still we allow that making pumps, and ever'
cleaning windows, ought to form a part of a boy's educe'
tion, or something very like them. It is a great thing fet.
a boy to be ingenious and handy, and to be able to shift to
himself. But this ought to be a part of home education, °r
of play hours at school. A boy may most usefully IW°
how to saddle and feed and clean a horse, how a ship 15
rigged, how potatoes are boiled, how a salad is made. 3311 t,
as a matter of fact, he does learn things like these at school-
already, and if parents took a little trouble, he would leern
the rest at home. When it is asked how an imaginer,'
scholar would get on if wrecked on a desert island, an ea4ll
triumph is won by the uneducated, who picture him sitting
on the shore making Greek iambics and starving. But 01
real life the maker of Greek iambics has probably also
learned to shoot, to play cricket, to row, to climb trees, to
ump, and to swim. All these things would help him or'
CO
his desert island, and as an English gentleman expects
live in England, and not on a rock in the Pacific, this bring.:
him quite near enough to the capabilities of the savage.
woulct be a fatal mistake to make these things, and til, gs'
like them, a part of the ordinary school teaching- 1-1
masters of most public schools give little enough now ef. that
education which strengthens and liberalises thein
mind ; but if the pump theory were once established
general favour, they would give none. We . try to
prevent them forcing our stupid boys to do bald, bad, Sens©'
?rdinary
less iambics ; but we will be also firm in protesting against
a.
their pocketing cur money and handing our stupid boYd
over to bungling imitations of the arts of the plumber an
the carpenter.—Saturday Review.
