the faithful are full of joy at the recent De-

Though these revelations are not to be re-

able sanctity of the Sister of the Nativity,
a religious of the Ursuline Convent of
Fougeres, and considering the sanction and
appreciation which the revelations have
received from innumerabie holy men and
profound theologians, they merit at least a
pious and respectful belief. After having
made known to her confessor the spirit of
RIGHTEOUSNESS and irreligion that would

SABBATARlAN ARRoGANcE AND DEsPor-
IsM.-SUNDAY CARs.-In the State of New
Jersey, the latest development of puritan
ism is, that it is sin, violation of the
church or up or down town, but
that it is permissible and godly for the
bondholders and other rich people to drive
to meeting, or on the shell road. Nice
casuistry-close discrimination in moral
theology is the idea, that a six cent ride is
criminal and sinful, but that so OF $500
say the essence of the sin consists in ridiag
for only sic cents in carriage whose wheels
run on an iron way, instead of dd Eibitune
on a paved street or macadamized road.
The New York Democrat says, in relation
to the poor peoples coach and four:
" For the life of us we can't see the con-
sistency of prohibiting public conveyances
from running on Sunday, especially when
that prohibition emanates fiom the class of
people whe have private conUeyGmces and
use them on that day. Here have certain
grandees, at place called Woodside, in
New Jersey, near Newark, been invoking
some old Puritanic enactments concerning
the Christian Sabbath day." made in the
times when the laws of British coloIL:as in
America hanged Quakers, banished Bap-
limits. And this to prevent the class Uho
don't keep their orn carriages from riding
to and fro in quiet horSe-cdrS, achiic attend
ing lcOrShip, going on excursions or UiSitiRq
friends on SuRdayi
alt is high time these narrow mi ded
fanatics were taught that the masses of the
people have the right to travel on Sunday
their only holiday-in their conveyanC es
as well as shoddy millionaires in theirs"

CHURCH DEDICATION AT MoNTRosE.-
TIE st. Patricks Benevolent Society of the
Cathedral, and the St. Patrick's Library
Room Association, together with a large
and influential gathering of the Catholics
Of Mobile, assembled yesterday at Mont
rose, to witness the dedication of new
Catholic Church. The Bishop performed
the dedicatory services, which were strik-
ingly impressive. The Very Rev. Father
Peilicer, v. G., assisted by Fathers Browne
and O'Meara, as deacon and sub-deacon,
Father O'Callahan acting as master OF
ceremonies, celebrated solemn mass. Rev.
A. j. Ryan preached special sermon for
the occasion. In the course of an eloquent
and impressive discourse he thanked the
societies for their attendance, and referred
In feeling terms to the Rev. Father Glib
hons, who was the pastor of that church,
and who recently died. At the termination
Of the address, the crowd, in which were
many of different religious persuasions,
dispersed, much edited with the cere-
monies. A collection, taken for the benefit
Of the church, resulted in q handsome sum.

The failure of stove-dealer named
Chamberlain, who went up for about $780,
600, has created some feeling among the
members of our Presbyterian churches.
Chamberlain was a deacon in the church,
and a valuable aid to Evangelist Hammond
in his last regeneration of this city. The
feeling against Chamberlain is intensified
BY the fact of his having borrowed literally
from the brethren, when he must have
known that he was insolvent. He is said
10 have borrowed $4,000 from one brother
she day preceding the announcement of his
allure. Stewart, the pastor of one of the
churches, is a victim to the amount of
Sl7OO, which brother Chamberlain Dor
rewed at twelve per cent. Stewart wears
hong hair and long whiskers. How he came
to have money to lend at twelve per cent
does not appear. 1t would seem that, if
he found his salary tapping over, he should
have expended the surplus in relieving the
wants Of the poor, instead of lending it at
usurious interest. He would have thus laid
up his treasures in heaven, where neither
moth, nor rust, nor thieves could get at it.
Rut people are not strict constructionists
in the interpretation of Scripture, 80 far as
the "root" is concerned; and those who dc
Gods work show what might DE called q
want of faith in His ability to pay ny doing
q little outside business.

Intervention.

-
If France should meet with signal sue
cess ia the battle now going on Grim,
pending, and especially If there should be
q probability Of her arms being carried
triumphantly to Berlin, we may expect q
general and vociferous clamor for peace
among the crowned spectators of Europe.
They will open their eyes to the fact that
the war has continued long enough, that
too much blood has been shed, and that the
interests of humanity require cessation
of hostilities.
They have not a word to say as long as
victorious Prussan army is in the heart
of France devastating and running. The
murder of priests and peasants, the burn
ing of churches and pillage of private
property call forth no homilies on the hor-
rors of war, but let the theatre of such pro-
ceedings be changed to Prussian soil and
how soon human sympatbies will be aroused
even to hear of an armed intervention.
Certainly England is preparing for war
with great rapidity, and considering the
well known sympathies of the Queen, she
may be preparing for a contingency of that
kind. In case of the defeat of Prussia,
there would be no danger Of Russian ag-
gression in Turkey, and the English Gov
eminent could rest easy on that score. IT
would then be at liberty to interfere, by
force, if necessary, to rob France of the To-
climate fruits of her victory.
| The French people have been driven in
to this war by the ambition of Prussia, de-
termined to push on her plans of aggran-
dizement at all risks, and by all means.
France was bound to resist now or submit
to circumstances which would render re-
sistance at future time more difficult and
uncertain. This war has cost her i'm
mensely. Besides the actual expenses for
arms and ammunition, for subsistence and
transportation, besides the pillage of SO
many millions of her people by a merciless
enemy and the laying waste of SO vast an
extent of her productive territory, we must
count the incalculable loss to production
and commerce by the mere existence of
war, the arrangement of business, and the
withdrawal of millions of people from the
pursuit of their usual avocations.
If an opportunity should be afforded of
| gaming SOule COI1peu sdClOu AOT Cucso AoScc0,
if victory should promise the power of
wrestling from their enemy an equivalent
for the injury thus inflicted, it would be
natural for the French to wish to avail
themselves of it. An armed intervention.
would be as unfair in defence of Prussia,
as it would be hypocriticalin its pretended
concern for peace. 1t is not probable that
France would submit to it except on COM
pulsion and it might then be question of
time. No doubt she would find allies as
we'll as enemies in such contest, and
where the complication would end, would
be impossible at this time to divine.
According to present appearances, how
ever, the two contestants will not be al
lowed to settle it between themselves if
France should have the advantage in war.

dawns upon our country. May it be long
and prosperous! Honor to the Catholic
electors honor to all the Belgian citizens
who have made Belgium herself again, and
have broken the yoke of doctrinism and
Freemasonry ~ Such are the joyful words
with which the Bien Public of Client an
nounces the result of the general election
in Belgium. The partial totals are as fol-
lows:
For the Senate, which consists of sixty
two members, there had been elected at the
date of the latest returns, 35 Catholics
against 20 Liberals-majOr Is; and for
the Representative Chamber, consisting of
1874 members, "a Catholics against 81 Lib
erals-majority 81. It must be observed,
however, that Brussels is excluded from
this enumeration. The capital was known
to be certain to re-elect all its Liberal
members. Almost everywhere else there
have been Catholic successes. On Tues
day the rage of the infidel rabble OF the
great cities at the news of the victory of
the Catholics broke forth in attacks on
person and property, and had to be re-
strained by the police. At Brussels the
windows of the College of st. Louis were
broken, and other insulting demonstrations
made. At Antwerp and elsewhere there
were disturbances. The worst riots oc-
CURED at Client, where the one Liberal
member remaining from the former election
was ousted. The mob attacked the Catho.
lie Club, the Bishops Palace, the Jesuits'
College, and the house of the Society of
st. Vincent de Paul. In these buildings
every square of glass was smashed. the
sashes and doors battered in, and the lives
of the inmates endangered by the brick
bats and paving stones that were hurled
into the rooms. The Presbytery adjoining
st. James's Church was also wrecked, and
stones flung even through the windows OF
the church itself. Many private houses
belonging to. gentlemen, well-known as
supporters of public charities and bene-
factors of the working classes, were at.
tackled in the same way, or at least had
their windows broken. Many priests and
inoffensive Catholics from the country were
maltreated, and some even seriously in
jured on their return from the poll by the
Liberal canaille.

ing their choice between the pleasures and
troubles of the world on the one hand and
the special service of God on the other. They
were renouncing pleasures and possessions
which often had wonderful charm in the
eyes of persons at their age. The antici-
pations of youth, based on the possession
of wealth and honors, and the love of fam
lily and friends, were generally colored with
very brilliant hues. A paradise stretched ont
before them, and it was only age and ex-
perience which laid bare the truth. 1t was
not for all to see these things in the hey
day of youth with the eyes of faith and
reality. They were said to renounce the
pleasures of the world, but experience
showed these pleasures usually to be as
devoid of substance as the attractive
apples of the Dead Sea, which turn to dust
on being touched. There may be certain
qualification in the indulgence of human
affections and appetites, but oh! how much
disappointment, how many sorrows, what
bitter reverses, what loss and suffering I!
Not much truly given up in exchange for
the peace of the Holy Ghost and the con-
seriousness of labors performed for the love
of God free from the stain of selfish enjoy
ment.
