born to his life, and longer yet before he hath

life with his soul supporting his body; that
can despise riches when he hath them and
when he hath them not that is not sadder il

DR.. Van Ingen's Lecture.

The Lecture before the ''St. Paul Literary
Association by the Rev. DR.. Van Ingen, D. D.
on the evening of the 3Oth of January, at the
Capitol, was well attended and gave fattering
indications of the success of the undertaking
to give to the people ofSt Paul, at least once
| a week, reasonable entertainment.
The subject--"Search after Principles
was one of the most difficult and profound that
could well be selected; yet the lecturer treat
ed it most successfully, and with copiousness
of thought, beauty of dction and force of illus
traton at once rare and appropriate. He de-
lighted his audience for one hour and half
Time will not permit us in giving full
analysis of his able and mastery speech.
The Association is now placed on firm ba-
sis, and we confidently hope that there will be
public spirit and literary taste enough among
the inhabitants of this city to give it the sup
port it so justly merits. .......
The lecture was the first of course of ten or
twelve weekly ones which are to succeed it.
The second lecture will be delivered at the
Capitol next Tuesday evening by the Rev. J.
G.. Riheldaffer. ........
Quitea number of lecturers have alread y
been secured. and as soon as the arrangements
are perfected, they will be announced in the
order they will appear. d., .,
We have the assurance ofthe officers of the
Association that no pains will be spared in Sc.
curing the best talent in the country.

Bitter ). Malisnity.

The Pioneer and Times, in their fitful de.
nunciations of every member of the Legislature
who does not vote exactly as they would die
tate, are now piling their abuse thick upon the
head of Hon. A. NJ. Fridley., Just after his
election, Mr.. F. was saint in the eyes of these
two editors.-now he is the vilest sinner on
earth. No man knew at the time better than
they that he had an unsettled account at Wash
ington 1t has been notorious since Mr.. F.
went out of office that the department, unjust
ly as he thinks, refuses to allow certain ac-
counts of his. The Democrat gives the follow.
ing in explanation. We ask, with our neigh
Dor, why don't the Government go to work and
collect the amount 1T be legally owing:
:" The facts relating to his accounts with the
Government are these. After his removal and
before he had an opportunity of closing his ac-
counts, systematic attack was made upon
him, as we'll as upon Gov. Ramsey. by Gov.
German, the new Superintendent of Indian AZ
fairs, who represented to the department that
Major Fridley was heavy defaulter and con-
sequently the District Attorney commenced a
suit against him, but ON examination, found
that Maj Fridley would bring the Government
in debt, and he therefore suffered the suit to re
main for two years without any action upon it.
Nothing further has been done in the matter,
except that Major +. has repeatedly offered to
settle his accounts at Washington or here, at
law or otherwise. - FTP. --
Major Fridley is responsible. and so are his
bail if he is a defaulter, why has not the Co
vernment proceeded with the suit and recover
ed the money!"

ACCIDENTAL DEsERTIoN-A late Hartford
Conn.,, Courant, contains the following :-On
Thursday night, a lady, who was travelling in
the express train with an infant, inquired oil
the conductor how long he stopped in Spring
field. The reply was, twenty minutes. When
she reached Hartford, she supposed it was
Springfield, and went up to the refreshment
room and ordered supper. After eating she
inquired how much longer time she had to stay,
when she was informed that the cars had been
gone five minutes. She exclaimed, 81 have
lost my baby" and sank down fainting. A
telegraph despatch was at once sent up. and
the infant returned by the next down train,
much to the joy of the mother, who, we trust
when she again goes after Refreshments, will
not leave her baby in the cars. aau sG,

h Tn NEW RoMrsH DoGMA,--We have already
published (says the BostO4 JournsD she deci-
sion of the Council of Bishops, assembled at
Rome. on the question of the immaculate Con
ception of the Virgin Mary. That decision was
that the immaculate conception is declared
the faith of the Church, and whoever denies it
is a hereto ~ The New York Freemans Jour-
nal and Catholic Register, Bishop Hughes Off
cial organ, is in ecstaces of delight at the dec;-
sion at which the Council arrived 1t says the
announcement has given joy to the world, and
that it is not too much to expect from it the pa
ci6cation of the nations, and general prostra-
ton of heretical and prosecuting forces! The
reason gifts great exultation at this new def
milton is, g because the saints and holy ones oil
past ages, who have defended this doctrine, de-
sired to live that they might see it Defined
have predicted that the declaration would be
followed by time Of great rest and advance
ment to the Holy Catholic Church. New
graces were to be kindled in the hearts of the
faithful, and new multitudes were to flock from
the paths of error into the great highway o.
Gods truth" And it concludes its exultatiou
by the following appeal to the Catholics o.
| America: .. -.. .,..... '-'
"Let the Catholics of America acknowledge
their past tepidity Of faith, and hasten to shake
it off. Let us betake ourselves to our great
Patroness-AIary of Immaculate Conception
Let faith, and hope, and charity, grow strong
within us, and let us remember that God has
set our task before us-that of being, all of us
in our various places, missionaries of the Tab
ernacle of God with men, whose great business
it is to save our own souls, and to convert this
young and mighty nation to the love Of God
who was born, for love of it and us, of the I'm.
maculatc Virgin" f-'4. .aa .
1t thus appears that the "infallible church.
in this nineteenth century, has, by the voice o.
two hundred of its bishops, added new dog
ma to is creed, a disbelief of which places the
unbelicver among heretics, and exposes him to
the penalty of accommodation and to the
curses and woes pronounced upon those who
come under the ban of the church. A dogma
which in past ages has been considered as un.
important-which might be held or rejected
and yet the individual be ranged among the
faithful, has now, by the voice of q few men
been made essential to the salvation of the
