HOW TO BE A MAN.

When Carlysle was asked by young person
TO point out what course Of reading he thought
best to make him man, replied in his character.
isiic manner -
" 1t is not by books alone or by books chiefly
that man becomes in all points a man. Study

BISHOP FITZPATRICK.

The succession of the Right Rev John Be,.

Boston, furnishes a suitable occasion for the state

tory. He was born in this city in December
1912. and is therefore now in his 34h wear. En
childhood. he attended the public school at For,
HILL and there displayed such aptitude for
study. that his father. the late Bernard Fizpat.

years. From Montreal he proceeded TO Paris
where he studied theology three wears in The
seminary of St. Sulpce. In 1910. he was or.
dalned priest in Paris, then returned to Bos,o,
and entered upon the discharge of his pastoroI
duties. Being eloquent and accomplished az an
orator, he at once became popular as preacher
and at the same time obtained the confidence of
the late Bishop Fenwick and other in influential
persons, by the knowledge and sound judgmen,
which he displayed in relation to the prudential
affairs of the church. So rapidly did he rise j,
the estimation of those who knew the wants of
the Catholic church in New England, that in
lo4o, at the council in Georgetown, he was nom
mated as tituar Bishop and coadjnor to Bishou
Fenw,ck. The nomination was confirmed by The
late Pope, Gregory the 10Th, and on the 2Sth Of
March, 1874 at Georgetown, he was consecrated

The bark Pioneer. Capt. Lambert, arrived at
New York from Rio Janero, whence she sailed on
the I'd nit.
Nothing decisive had ,ranspred with regard to
the singular slate Of hostities existing in and
about the Rio de la Plata. There was repor,
that Lord Aberdeen in London had informed the
Buenos Ayrean Minister (Rosas's) that the
British and French Ministers had exceeded their
instructions in waging war upon Buenos Ayres.
that steamer would be Immediately dispatched
with orders to withdraw the English and French
troops and to stop all farther interference in the
affairs OF that distracted region But we have
before US communication from these Ministers
to the Buenos Ayrean Government, dated 18th
May, IN which they declare that they will enter
upon no negotiations until The Buenos Ayrean troops
are Withdrawn from the Banda Oriental. These
contradictory statements leave us as much in the
dark as before as TO the probable course Of events
1t was the general opinion at Rio when Capt. l..
sailed that the blockade of Buenos Ayres would
soon ne raised and matters allowed to take their
course.
