barked at Brest and reached our shores
after pleasant voyage OF eISh! days
and sixteen hours.
He Ii APFABLE.
On the voyage he was Affable and
kind, COnversIng freely with his fellow
passengers. On the vessel were four or
i've French priests, with whom he ex-
changed few words on current topics,
but the subject OF the ECumenical Coun.
ell and HIS own future was carefully
avoided.

Father HyRClnthe bears similar let
ters to Henry Ward Beecher and Gen.
Dix, on whom he will call.
OTHER FRIENDS.
Father uecker, the great Catholic dl
vine In this city, Is an intimate friend
OF HyacInthe, and 1t is asserted that q
conference will most likely take place
between them. Lonfellow, the poet, Ia
also friend, and LongfellOw and Faith.
or Hecker are probably his most init.
mate acqualntances this side Of the At
lantio.
HE DIsoARDs THE SANDALS.
On the voyage over he discarded the
sandals, which, by rule OF the Carme.
lltes, he Is obliged To wear, and walked
In CATERS, like any ordinary Christian,
and he has also assumed Citizsn's dress.
The only sign OF religion about him be.
Ing the religious Cravat and collar
which peeps up from behind the close.
ly buttoned front OF his coat.
He Is CoNoERTIZED.
On Sunday the members Of the Opera
Troupe gave concert In the cabin, In
which Father Il. was present and ire.
quently applauded the efforts Of the
artists.
HOW LONG HE WILL STAY.
He will spend two months In the
United States, and proposes to remain
ten days IN this city, when he will visit
Boston and then proceed to make a
general tour OF the country before pro-
ceeding to Rome to be present at the
ECumenial Council. lie will not preach
publicly, or deliver any lectures, as has
been supposed.
HIS oBJECT.I
His object In coming here In merely
to get away from the excitement In
Paris and calm himself.
how HE WAS RECEIVED.
On his arrival on the pier, carriage
was driven to the gate and he was
taken 10 the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where
he now occupies the same parlors which
were the headquarters Of Washington
Mclean, Esq, during the late National
Democratic Convention.
HOW HE Is REdIsTERED-HE DIMES.
His name Is registered on the hotel
books rs 'Fr. HyacInthe.' Immediate.
ly after his arrival he took dinner with
Mr.. and Mrs. Darling, also guests ut
the house, who came over with him
from France. Rev. DR.. 1renaus Irvine
and Rev. John Cummins, OF Green
Point, were the first clergymen that
called on him.
AN INTERVIEW.
Immediately after dinner he had n
long Interview with Mr.. Prime, on
whom he made most favorable i'm.
PRESTON. lie said he needed the free
air Of America 10 embolden him for his
journey TO Rome, where he intended
10 beard the lion in his den by pRrtici-
pating In the proceedings ol the Ecu
lnenical Council.
HE IS vIvACIous.
The great CarmelIte does not speak
one word Of English, but Is, Us are all
Frenchmen, exceedingly boislerous In
conversation, 30 as to offer striking
contrast with the quiet demeanor OF the
clergy who called on him 10 pay their
respects.
HE Is ENCOURAGED FROM HOME.
At about nine O'Clock the following
encouraging cable dispatch reached
him from unknown friends In Paris:
PARIS, Oct. Is.
"Fr. Hyaclnthe, Cling Ave Hotel,
Grains Point:
'Crois courage-tOut blen.'
Signed 'AMGs.'
He sent a reply to the members oi
Paris Club, but Its contents have moi
transpired for the time being. O.
HE Is A SENSATION.
Father Hyaclnthe is the great sensa-
ton here. Already have numerous
Evangelical ministers met for the pur.
pose OF arranging a public welcome for
him, but no definite plan has been
agreed on. A committee OF Boston
ministers Is en- route to take him to the
Hub
THE CATHOLIC FEELING.
The feeling In Catholic circles is not
friendly to him. The Reverend Roman
Catholic Clergy OF New. York are un.
willing to express an opinion about
the great preacher. II Is, however, moi
unlikely that he may be induced u
preach at the Church Du st. Esprit, In
Twenty.Hecond street, next Sunday.
Gleat efforts TO that effect have been
made, especially by our French resi-
dents who are not over orthodox. %
