CHICAGO IN THE NEW YORK RAILROAD WAR.
CHICAGO, March 27-The following. resolu-
tons were read on Change to-day, and will
come up for fiual action tomorrow:
Whereas, The question Of cheap transporta-
ton is one of vital importance to the produce
tive industry of the Northwest, and
Whereas, The construction of competin Q
lines OF railroad, from the West to the seaboard
has always been regarded by us as means to
secure that end, and in consideration for which
Important rights have been surrendered
Therefore,
ResolUed. That we cannot view with indiffer-
ence the efforts now being made by the chief
manager Of one of the most important of these
lines, by the means and influence which the
New York Central Railroad furnishes, to con
troll the trade and commerce of the North
west
RESOLVED, That we hereby pledge our sympa-
thy, influence and patronage to such lines OF
traffic, conducted on their own merits as will
afford us the cheapest and most expeditions
routes to the seaboard market
Resot0ed, That in the Judgment of the Board
OF Trade the tolls on produce exacted on the
Erie Canal are eXtortionate and calculated to
end in diverting commerce from the Lakes to
the Mississippi River route, and that however
eligible the route through Central New York
to the new board may be esteemed, it is not so
eligible as to be beyond the reach of COMPETE
ton, as the managers may realize when too
late to retrieve their error, for long forbear-
ance is not acquiesence in extortions.

THE ANGELUs-The origin of this beau
tiful and simple devotion is thus narrated
by the franciscan Sister Francis Glare, OF
in her admired book" st. Francis and
Franciscans."
1t may not be generally known that we
owe to st. Bonaventura the devotion of the
Angelus; one, indeed most congenial to so
devout a client of Mary; to a soul 30 full of
burning love to God incarnate. What in
crease of his accidental glory must he not
have meritcd by instituting devotion
which sends up daily to heaven such fer
vent aspirations from countless hearts
.a lave Maria" It is mossning, i and we
dawn of light has cleaned, and our day of
anxious care, of busy labor has begun. But
the sound of the ADgelus bell falls cheeriIy
on our hearts and we spring up to adore
the Incarnate God, to offer our all to Him
who has given His all to us. We think of
Bethlehem and Nazareth, and remember
Him who was called the carpenter, and
bore life of WEAKNESS and labor to tighten
ours. "The Word was made flesh :" and
the burden of our humanity becomes easier
as We bend the knee in alteration of His.
"f Ave Maria!' 1t is mid day, and the
battle of life is thick around us% Heaven
seems far away, like the beautiful noun
tains, which in the clear morning looked so
near, but now are shrouded in the mists of
earth. But the Ave Maria has made our
hearts lighter. 1t is an echo from home
the '4ngelus Domini nuntiarit Marie'
falls sweetly on the ear; and tells as that
bright and celestial spirits are keeping
watch and ward for us, for love of their tri-
umphant queen.
.fsAve Maria' Once more we hear the
call to prayer. 1t is evening. A day is gone,
and we are weary, and we long for the day
that will have no evening, fer the morning
-that-will haze no night. 1t is Paschal time
and our thoughts are of the bright appear
.ances of our risen Lord as we cry "Abide
with us, Lord, for it is towards evening" Or,
with Mary: Behold the handmade of the
Lord be it done unto me according to thy
word 1t is our fNHnc dimitis.' The shade
of sorrow, ofage, of faded hopes and dreams
are closing around u.s. it matters not. With
calm, or even joyous 'Ecce anciia Domi-
nj we go to rest. Happy they who hear it
the last of earthly sounds! Ave Maria"
An angel first breathed it on earth, and it
is oftenest uttered by those whose lives are
most like to angels. Ave Maria ! May we
be worthy one day to sing it with those
blessed spirits in the Paradise of Godr'

DIOCESE OF BALrIMoRE.-The Mirror
reports:
The ceremony of the dedication of ST.
Joseph's (Passionist) Monastery took place
on Sunday evening, 18th inst, according to
previous announcement, and, notwith-
standing the occasional heavy showers of
rain that fell during the evening, the pro-
cession, composed of the various Catholic
associations OF the city, and quite q large
representation of our Catholic community,
accompanied by several bands of music, all
under the direction of Chief Marshal Chris
tlan Bitter, ESD, presented a most crafty
ing and imposing spectacle, as they marched
through the city to the scene of dedication.
The usual ceremonies of the Catholic
Church on such occasions were followed
out, at the conclusion of which the Rt. Rev.
Bishop preached an eloquent sermon APP
propriate TO the occasion. Rev. Father
Vincent, of Hoboken, also addressed the
vast concourse in attendance, after which
the ceremonies closed with the chanting of
the 1e Deum, Laudamus. This is the fourth
monastery of the Order of Passionists in
the United States. 1t has seven priests and
five lay brothers, under the direction OF
Father Victor, Superior. Passionist mon
asteries are intended to train priests for
missionary purposes and to give assistance
to pastors of such churches as need it, and
to have a chapel always open for such as
may need spiritual assistance or counsel.
The Order, though very old in the Church,
was introduced into the United States
about ten or twelve years ago, by Rev.
Father O'Connor, s. j., then Bishop of
Pittsburg, and now numbers some seventy
members. We are happy to chronicle such
evidences of its growth and usefulness in
the archdiocese of Baltimore.
