TIE VIRGINS INTERCEssIoS.-The Cardinal
Vicar, by order of His Holiness, has issued mis-
sives relative to the festivals of st. Michael
the Archangel and the Virgin of the Rosary,
in which reference is made to political events
now transpiring:
"Since the struggle of the revolutionary
shirt against the Most High grows tiercer-
since hell rcnews all its dark-eiforts against
the maintenance of the divine jurisdiction, the
practice of pious preparation for all festivals
is recommended, especially those of the Mother
of God. At other times, oh Romans, IL has
been orr custom to invite you to honor the
numerous victories obtained by her interces-
sion for.the Christian arms. This year are
not ONLY drawn to the celebration by historic
memories but we are called to it by the duty
impOsed upon us by the prodigious events of
last October, which saved Your country, the
city of Mary, from attacks and from revolu-
ton from ruin and massacre, contemplated by
her enemies. The infdels whom the Virgin
then dispersed and put to flight, are again n
cause of dsquiet to-the Vicar of her divine
Son, and danger to his people, and we
must pray that these disturbers of the Church
Church and the world shall be vanquished and
suppressed and kept far from the walls of holy
Jerusalem.~ Oh! that the commemoration of
our miraculous deliverance may never cease,
and if TIE impious continue their threats and
violence, may our reliance on Sthe power and
love of Mary be equally enduring. If we in
woke her, she also will continue to extend to
us her protection"

e CArHoLIc EpUcAroRs.-Thes attention of
the general public has been pointedly drawn
to the superiority of the teaching in Catho-
lie schools and colleges by prominent men
in the Protestant world OF Instruction.
Few men in this country have done more
to advance the science of education than
Edward L. Sears, L. L. D., whose various
publications have met with general COM
mendation. Heis the editor of the National
Quarterly Rapiew, published in the city OF
New York, which is o recognized authority
on the subject. The September number
Of this publication contains an article ON
tour Colleges and seminaries, Male and
Female,n in which the following remarks
occur: "a very small number Of those who
are surprised at the wonderful progress
made by the Catholic Church in this coun-
try have any accurate idea Of the means
employed by that denomination to raise
the standard of Catholic education. 1t me-
yer occurs to them that there is not Ca
tholic College or University in Europe
which is mot represented by some OF it's
most accomplished graduates among the
Catholic fraternities in the United States,
who devote themselves to education. Thus,
that denomination of our people possess OPP
portunities of having their sons educated
by alumni Of the celebrated Universities Of
Louvaine, Bruges, Bologna, Padua, cordo-
va, Douay, Maynooth, the Sapiensa at Rome,
ETC., etc. Nor is it alone the Universities
of Catholic countries that are thus repre-
sented in the ranks of the various Orders

OUR MINISTER'S TO ENGLAND.-Yhe ease
with which our Ministers to England slide
into the Office of panegyrists Of everything
appertaing to that country, has been noted
and sharply commented on. But no for
mer ambassador has in so short period
made himself SO ridiculous as Reverdy John=
SON. The shallowness of his efforts have
been penetrated and exposed by sensible
people in that country, as the following
from the Pail Mall Gazette of a late date
shows:
:" IF the clapping of hands now going on
could be taken as an indication of a change
| in the disposition of the two nntionstow-
| ards each other, it would be the happiest
circumstance recorded in history, and NO
congratulations upon which the former de-
| tractors of the North yentured could be
considered obsequious. But the Americans
are not children, and most of them have
memories. When public writer informs
than all the rest of the world, they are but
tempted to admire Mr.. Roebuck's honest
candor. Their grievances against England
are precisely what they were, and English
men will delude themselves if they suppose
that the large majority of Americans look
upon them with any other feelings than
those of extreme aversion and dislike. We
are convinced that Mr.. JohnsOn's pleasant
words towards us will give great offence to
many of his own countrymen, and that
they will produce an effect the very reverse
of that which would be agreeable to that
gentleman.
Americans will rarely tell Englishmen
what they think about them, but every po-
litical leader in America knows that wal
with England would ret unite sections OF
the people now estranged by apparently
hopeless differences. 1.-THE only thing that
can ever make the South and North agree
again would be war with your country, y
said General Wade Hampton to us once
and his opinion is shared by five-siSths OF
the Southern people. We offended both
parties in the civil war-the, North, by Civ
, ing too much to the South; the South, by
| giving too lie.
t. There was, no doubt, q traditionary ha
tired of England derived from the war O.
. Independence. The national idea of the
people is unfortunately inseparably asso
ciated with animosity to England. Thu
persons who have been most hOnored in the
Republic were those who fought agains

Richard Weaver's Style.

The following is given as specimen of
the style of preaching Of Richard Weaver the
popular lay preacher of Great Baitain:
Now, this woman that lost her piece of sill
yer, wasn't it just natural that She should
think more of that one than of the other nine
she had got safe in her purse. And wasn't
it just natural that the man should care more
about his lost sheep than about the ninety
nine that hadn't strayed away I? Here's a
farmer owns a hundred sheep. Well, at
night he counts them and he makes one short
He goes over them again; perhaps he's reck-
oned wrong. No it's only ninety nine again.
He goes in to his wife, who is sitting by the
kitchen fire, waiting till he comes to supper.
"Why, lass, there's one gone. Poor thing,
he must have got over the wall" (Ah the
devils always ready to help poor sheep OF
Christ over the wall.) He starts in search
OF him. By-and-by he sees the foot marks,
-ah yonder he is ! But now he has to mind
where he treads; he has to make a spring
now and then over some boggy place, and
the land is all sopping wet But he seeks
the track of the wanderer, and now he hears
"Ba-a," and the great soft eyes of the crea-
ture stare up at him from quagmire, as if
to say, 40, master, help me out" Ie takes
him aaud puts him over his shoulder, and
the black mud drips down his jacket but he
doesn't mind that At last he comes to the
brook that skirts his orchard, and then he
washes all the filth away and the poor thing
trots into the fold with such happy bleat, as
if to say, Thank, you, sir" Now, that's how
Jesus fetehes back His wanderer. Only lie
doesn't put him across His shoulders He
puts him into his bosom, and then he takes
and washes him in the fountain filed with
his own precious blood. That's what he did
for me eight years ago.
Oh! happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away.
And that's what He is ready to do for YOU.

military command, on contiguous territory,
million of yeomaury who would ike no bet~
ter pastime than to march to the Capitol, put
the carpet-baggers to fight, and inaugurate
the new WtitesMan's Government on the
debris of the gigantic swindle which is now
upheld by the nigger-worshippers. We don't
suppose great deal of shooting or hanging
would have to be done at the Capitol, as the
cowardly wretches, most likely, at the first
scent of personal peril would pick up their
carpet-bags and take to their heels. And if
any Massachusetts regiment were fool enough
to venture upon a repetition of the old game
of marching through the city of New York
for the protection of the strooly loil' in
Washington, we guess they would not get on
as far as Baltimore before the bricGbat, the
understandable egg, and the cold lead would
admonish them that tIsey had made slight
mistake, and were travelling, this time at
least, in the wrong direction.
That is Che only settlement of which this
senatorial carpet-baggers' swindle is suscep-
tible. The knaves may be smuggled in now,
and may keep their seats in spite of us till
after January-because we ca mot help our
selves-but after that date, we repeat it,
somebody has got to leave, PcaceiJy it they
choose, or .forci6Iy if aoe mast!
We trust some of our outspoken friends in
the Democratic Convention will see to it that
due notice is served upon the Jacobin party
of what is coming, so that they may have no
occasion to complain that they had not for
NAL notice to quit.

has recently received letter from Hon. A
II. Stephens, in which he says:
'Allow me, then, briefly. at this late day,
to say, in reply to your inquiries, that would
not advise the young men of this country to
leave it, Bad as things are in it, and bad as
the prospect of wise state Of things ahead

future prospects of young man are any
better than here.
GAS have said before, repeat, that while
others may choose to take to the life boats,

yet, as for myself, see no hope in them, and
am resolved to remain, and, if need be, go
down with the ship. ''Yours truly,

Manger for Feeding Horses.

In feeding horses hay in managers or in racks
made with stats, through which the horse
pulls his hay, there is generally considerable
wasted by being thrown by the horss upon
the floor, while his name aud eyes are cons
tinually filed with the dust and seeds from
the hay His continued breathing upon it
cannot, of course, improve either its quality
or healthfuluess. After using for many years
the following plan, am satisfied it is supe,
rior to most arrangements, and is exeelled by
none.
A box or large tube, % feet by feet, and
as high as the floor of the hay NOV, is set up
between two stalls in a small manger. The
bottom of this box is inches larger each
way than the top. so as to prevent the hay
from ever becoming wedged in or stuck. a
semi circular opening one foot in the highest
place, is cut into the bottom of this box inside
the manger
Inside the manger and on the opposite end,
is placed the box to feed grain, and if cut
feed is used, the whole managers should not
exceed one foot in height and two feet wide.
Horses have no difficulty in drawing out the
hay from the bottom of this box or tube, and
at the same time will not waste particle, as
it is always little easier to eat the scattering
hay which falls, than to draw out fresh hay.
The hay is kept clean and sweet until eaten
by the horse Country Gentleman.
