In CHURCH DURING THE LAST SoKTIE.-
A correspondent writing from the German
headquarters at Versailles, thus speaks of
his visit to church into which he wander
ed at the time the firing was lOudest during
the late sortie: "There are other people
besides me, find who are anxious in this
world. AS pull aside the heavy pall-like
curtain which hangs in the doorway, and
through which the deep far away booming
penetrates into the sanctuary, not a sound
breaks the death like stiffness around, with
the exception now and then of n convul-
,siye' sob from some poor heart-torn wor-
shipper. There are some forty or fifty men,
women, and children in all, and they are
scattered all over the dimly lighted church
in their little rush bottomed priedieus.
THERE'S no service going on, but every head
is bent in the attitude of prayer,-deep,
heartfelt notwithstanding, God-asking,-
and in response to every dreadful boom
from without, you can see slight forward
motion of the head, but that unEoticed, all,
down to those two very little girls in
under all the circumstances, the saddest
sight have ever seen the women are all
in deep black (there is one exception, and
she is beggar, and in rags), and the men,
almost all of whom are old, are in tears.
solitary light swings in a brazen lamp,
over head a Pickering dim sort of light,
but still light, and it strikes me as being
embleratical of that national life for which
these poor people are beseeching the Lord.
What terrible and melancholy contrast
this is from the noisy pageant at the in
auguration of the empire! What solemn
appeal from the relentless kaiser to the
God of Mercy AS / came out again into
the light of the busy street, and, half blink
ing from the gloom inside, look upon the
busy and garrulous French market thrOng,
| troubled about butter. fiercely contending
over eggs, and bantering Prussian soldiers
| about the weight of dead chickens, the SOL
emn boom boom boom filling the win
try air, all notwithstanding, turn towards
my stable with mingled feelings of pity
and contempt to seek my horse and go out
and see the butchery."

MARSHAL RANDoN.--We have to record
the death of the man who, of all the minis
tiers of the late French empire, was the
most devoted to the cause of the Sovereign
Pontiff. Field-Marshal Random, the active
organizer of the Antilles Legion, and who
gave it its brave leader, Colonel DARCY, is
no more. And strange to say, he who la
bored SO we'll and so persistently for Plus
TX. was all the while Protestant. He
acted as he did from high sense of justice
alone, and his reward has indeed been
great. His devotedness to the oppressed,
and his courage in defending right, have
received from Heaven the highest of bless
ings. On his death bed, to the surprise of
those around him, he asked for priest of
the Catholic Church. To him he made alb
duration of his errors, and was received in
to the one fold of the one Shepherd. For
titled by the sacra.lents of the Church, he
made pious end, being assisted to the last
by Mopsignor Mermillod. a few minutes
before his death he desired that several
trustworthy persons might be brought into
his presence, and before them he made this
protest "Let there be no after-dispute
about this matter. l wish you to hear
from my own lips, and to bear witness, that
| die a member of the Holy Roman Church
and loving child of the Holy Father"

THE PRISONERS IN THE Wharf.-The Lon
don Times publishes from it's own Berlin
correspondent what looks like German
official estimate of the troops and guns
taken prisoners in Paris. The number of
men is 100000, the fortress guns captured
1900, field-p;eces and mitrailleuses 400.
The gunboats on the Seine, the locomotives
and polling stock of the railways, have like
wise been appropriated by the victors.
The aggregate number of French troops
taken prisoners, or driven across the from
tier of Belgium and Switzerland since July,
is put at upwards of 100000. What a
war! / 100000 of unwounded soldiers cap
tured and kept prisoners by the enemy in
seven months. Can any parallel be found
in modern history for such a fact as this
The wars of the Turks and of the German
Emperors, of Russia and Sweden, of the
Grand Monarque and Marlborough; the
American war of Independence, our Indian
wars, the campaigns of Napoleon and of
Wellington the Crimean campaign, the
Indian mutiny, and the wars of Austria
against France and Prussia, have been
marked by unexpected reverses and great
surrenders, as we'll as by bloody battles
and important victories, but in none of
| them, taken singly, has the number of pris-
| oners takon approached 100000. How to
account for itf The great captures of pris
| oners in the Army of the Loire of late have
been attributed to the rawness of the con-
scripts; but they were veteran French
| troops who surrendered at Sedan and at
| Metz. The event of this war we've as.
founding when they occurred, and they
battle comprehension all the more when
their full details arrive.

THE LATE BARON E. C. DE GERLAcHE.-
An excellent and distinguished Catholic
layman has just closed laborious, honor
able and useful career in Belgium. The
Baron Z. C. de Gerlache, Honorary Presi-
dent of the Court of Cessation, late Presi-
dent of the National Congress and of the
Chamber of Representatives, has just died
in the s5th year of his age. The Baron was
also President-Generalo of the Conferences
of st. Vincent de Paul. AS statesman,
Is Il magistrate and as an author, he has
done honor to religion and conferred signal
services on his country. AT the time of the
achievement of Belgian independence, in
the events of which period he bore a dis
tinguished part, it was he who offered,
with the consent of the nation, the crown
prevented from taking part in public affairs
by the intrigues of the infidel and revolu-
| tionary faction, but the other great work of
his life was not interrupted, he never
ceased to promote the cause of religion and
charity by his personal exertions, his pen
| and his purse. The Bien Public of Client,
| from which we borrow the chief facts of
this notice, says of him, THAT I" his soul
was profoundly devoted to God and to His
| Church, and that his public virtues were
but the extension and complement of those
which he practised in private" The
Journal de BrWreltcs says that the late
| Baron was native of Luxembourg: his
family was ennobled by Maria Theresa in
175l. He himself was created Baron by
Leopold l., who had a high esteem for him.
He was called to the bar mt Liege in 1911
and represented that city in the second
Chamber of the States-General in 1921
where he vigorously combated the Dutch
administration of his country. He retained
his seat until the revolution of 1880
when he was chosen President of the Com.
mittee appointed to settle the draft of the
Belgian Constitution, and lie was chairman
of the Privy Council under the Regency
In 1889 he represented Belgium at the Con.
ferencei in London, when the treaty ofTwen
ty-four Articles secured the future indepen
dence of his country. He headed the
deputation who came to offer the Belgian
crowa-to the sOn-in-law Of the King o
T England. He was member Of the Belgian
Royal Academy of Letters, and as directo
or president of that learned institution h.
never ceased to labor for the development
and progress of the national literature
Tho Journal dc Brurellcs adds: IN. d.
Gerlache was profound thinker, and
writer of the first order. His historical
publications are numerous aud highly
esteemed. He was a man of great consis
tency of character. He never paltered wit
principles. He was often bitterly oppose,
by hostile partizans, but they as often ha
to recognize the soundness of his judgmen
and the moral weight which his Opinion
carried amongst good aud wise men,

\ correspondent writing from Brussels
February l, to London paper, says:

February l, to n London paper, says
Tomorrow, I'd inst, there is to be a
grand religious .fete here in honor du st.
Sacrament dc Miracle to entreat the Al
mighty to restore Plus IX. to his ancient
temporal rights and privileges. All the
Bishops of Belgium, except the Bishop of
Liege, are expected to be present and join
in the ceremony. The fact of the Holy Sa-
crament dc Miracle happened about five
hundred years ago, when certain impious
Jews, out of hatred and detestation of our
Lord and Saviour, bribed certain sacri-
legious Catholics to procure some conse-
Grated Hosts for them which they might
wreak their vengeance upon. No sooner
had they got,possession of the sacred sym
bols than they stabbed them with daggers,
and, wonderful to relate, blood issued from
the wounds. The wretches were taken in
the act, and punished with death but the
sacred hosts were and have been preserved
to the present day. There are several
painted windows and tapestries of the
olden style that represent and serve to
prove this, to Catholics, most interesting
and sublime of miracles. The procession
of the pilgrims is to commence at the
Grande Place de la Nation, near the north
ern station, and, through several adorned,
tapestried and evergreened streets, will
proceed to the Collegiate Church of ST.
Gudule, where these Sacred Hosts are re-
ligiously kept.
Liege also, as we learn from its pro-
gramme, will display grander demonstra-
| ton of its piety and zeal for the despoiled
| and prosecuted Pontiff than even Brussels.
! AS Rome is now become the seat of the
Man of Sin, and everything sacred and
holy is trampled under foot, scoffed, derid-
ed and profaned, like Jerusalem in the
time of Antiochus and the Maccabees, it
seems possible, aye, probable that Belgiu
will become the sanctuary of Christendom
at least, till the wrath of heaven against
Italy is appeased, and the Holy City Of His
Vicegerent is cleaned and purified from the
leaven of iniGuity that corrupts and de-
files is, and from the generation of vipers
that are now rampant within its walls.
Talking of Rome, news have been received
here of Prince Humbert and his spouse
having just installed themselves in the
Pope's palace on the Quirlnal, to the roar
of cannon and ringing of bells, with evivas
and displays of flags and banners. This
Crown Prince, as to his moral and religious
and political bias, is far worse than his IA
Their. He goes SO far as to style himself
and even rejoices in the sobriquet--mangia-
pretc, or priest-eater, little thinking that
ere long perhaps a Mazzinian revolution OIL
a Garibaldian republican will appear OIL
the stage and proclaim themselves naangia
re, or king eaters, SO demoralized and full
of revolutionists and republicans of the
worst kind appears to be the young unfor
tunate Kingdom of Italy.

QUALIFICATIONS OF THE ANCIENT Fee
NIANs.-To enter the ancient Fenian Order,
aevery soldier must swear that, without
regard to fortune, he would chose a wife
for her virtue, her courtesy and her good
manners; that he would never offer vio-
Ience to a woman that, so far as he could,
he would relieve the poor, and that he
would not refuse to fight nine men out of
any other nation! Every soldier must be
we'll acquainted with twelve books of poe
try, and be able to compose verses. He
must run we'll, and defend himself when in
flight. To try lis activity, he was made to
run through wood bavinga trees breadth,
and the whole Of the Fenians pursuing
him; if he was overtaken or wounded in
the wood, he was refused as too sluggish
and unskilfui to fight with honor among
such valiant troops. He must be so swift
and light of foot as not to break a rotten
stick by standing on it; able also to leap
over q tree as high as his forehead, and to
stoop under q tree that was lower than his
knees. Witho at stopping, OF lessening his
speed he must re able to draw q thorn out
Of his foot. Finally, he must take an oath
of fdelity.-ScribRerss Monthly.
