The morning star and Catholic messenger. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1868-1881, 1869-10-17


French ecclesiastics are determined to defend
Father Hyacinthe before the Council--that
Bishop Dupan1oup will advocate liberal ideas
in that body, and that fifty American Bishops
will give him their support This balderdash,
of course, is got up for the benefit of the gulls
among our separated brethren, who arc al
ways ready with open mouths to swallow the
most preposterous stories.
The last Ueekly Register says that the Hon.
Major Dormer, eldest son of Lord Dormer, will
shortly succeed Col. Vacher Deputy Assist
ant Quartermaster General at the Horse Guards.
This will make the, third Catholic field officer
now employed in responsible appointment at
the headquarters of the army-the other two
being the Hon. Col. Clifford, who is Deputy
Quartermaster General, and Col. Herbert, who
| is Assistant Adjutant General"

Right Rev. James Gibbons, Vicar Apostolic of
North Carolina, delivered a farewell sermon to
the congregation of st. Thomas Church on the
Sunday previous to his departure for Rome, to
attend the Council. The church was crowded
on the occasion, notwithstanding the inclem-
ency of the weather. He sails for Baltimore
on the goth prox.

Mercy have contracted with the General Gov

at Louisville. Eight sisters, to be followed by
others, arrived some time ago, and are already
in possession of their quarters in the hospital.
PRMs Vow.-We find the following para
graph in an exchange:
Marshal Prim, before leaving Paris, was
present, together with all his family and sew
eral Spanish emigrants, at commemorative
mass in the Church of the Petits-Peres, in full
filment of u vow made by him and his friends
at the time of their departure for Cadiz. They
had sworn that if their cause triumphed they
would return to Paris and hear mass there ON
the anniversary of their entrance into Spain.

AMUSEMENT IN ROME ON DIR. CUMMINGS
