BISHOP QUINLAN.-We gather from the No
bile Register of the Goth ult. some particulars
regarding the movements of the Right Rev
Bishop of Mobile. The Bishop left that city on
the evening of the 28th, to attend the Gcume-
nical Council at Rome, stopping on his way at
Tuscumbia to dedicate to the service of God a
handsome edifice just erected, and at Hunts
vile and Bridgeport, for the purpose of admin
istering the sacrament of confirmation.
On Sunday, the 26th the Bishop announced
ut the Cathedral his intention of proceeding
TO Rome, and in the evening he was invited by
the members of the st. Patrick Benevolent As
ISOLATION TO their new hall, at the corner of
Cont and Claiborne streets, where, after an
appropriate address by the President, Mr.. John
Kavanaugh, he was presented with a handsome
purse, the contribution exclusively of members
of the Society. The Bishop responded in his
usual happy manner, and thanked the Society
for their kindness.
AT II o'clock on Monday the clergy of the
city and vicinity waited the Bishop in
body, and presented him with an address and
purse, which, taking into consideration the
small number and limited means of the con-
tributors, was quite a liberal sum. During the
afternoon of the same day q committee of citi-
zens, consisting of Messrs. John L. Rapier, b.
I. Yniestra, P. Harmon and B. McGovern, made
their appearance ut the Episcopal residence,
and after short address, handed to the Bishop
he city. Besides these donations the Bishop
has received many offerings in private man
ncr from other sources, so highly esteemed and
veuerated is he, not only by his own flock, but
by our citizens generally.
1t must be source of qualification to him to
witness such marks of affection for, upon his
so previous visits to Rome, the citizens at
barge contributed towards defraying his ex-
nenscs.
We join with ourSM Mobile cotemporary in
wishing the Rt. Rev, Bishop safe and plea
SAINT voyage, and hope to see him return again
Rt no distant day, in the enjoyment of his usual
good health.
DIR. CUNNING ANswERED.-His Holiness
/ he Pope has sent communication to Arch
bishop Manning in reference to the proposal of
DR. Cumming to appear ut the Gcumenical
Council, referring DR.. Cumming to the terms
of the letter of invitation addressed to Protest
hnts, and saying he will find that it is an in
Eitation, not TO a discussion, but only to profit
by the opportunity to return to the Church.
rhe Pope says, in conclusion, that there is no
room at the Council for the defense of errors
which have already been condemned. The
London journals congratulate the notoriety-
seeking Doctor on elciting a prompt answer
from the Pope.
A FAITHFUL PRIEST ON \ LONG JOURNEY
Professionals to lessen the merit of Catholic
priests, and the disnterested sacrifices of re-
igious, sneeringly say that as they assume
vows to that effect, they deserve particular
concentrations. Catholics look. for earthly
Observation-Disclosures human praise is valuelcss.
Protestant ministers take step which viii
lobar them from the comforts and Injuries of
life, and therefore can neither emulate nor
understand the motives of such n servant of
iod rs the aforementioned
The Alexandria, Mimi, Post says that Father
ALBERT Lncombe, a Catholic missionary. passed
through that place last week on his way to
his station at Fort Edmundton, in British Co
|umbia. This point is 1900 miles northwest of

zatCtUwIn. fathtr faC0TdbC has been sTa- 7

Utmost trackless wilderness with Indian guides

ANNALS OF THE Holy CHILDHooD.--We be-
ieve there is organization of this Contra

Der of their Annals have been issued. The
association enables children in Christian lands,

pend on tribes, 80 maintain missionaries and
|nstitutions; especially in China, for the res
ue of poor children, who, without this care,
|Eould perish without baptism. The receipts,
