The Society for Catholic Interests.

The readers of the Catholic Times have
lately seen in it's columns many accounts
of the exertions of this excellent associa-
ton, which has been formed in Rome under
the above designation. Similar associa-
tions are in course of formation in every
to hope that, in accordance with the wish
expressed by the Holy Father, the move
ment will be- taken mp in every country
where the name of Catholic is known. The
Catholics of Ireland, England and Scot
land, cannot long remain strangers to an
association embracing their brethren in all
other lands. We shall have, sooner or
later, to cast off the apathy which has for
years past prevented any thing like con-
certed action by the Catholic body, most
particularly in England, and we shall be
obliged to stand forth and take our own
part in the terrific combat of scientific
liberalism and it's allies against the teach
pecially against Gods Holy Catholic
Church, and against the fulfilment of her
divinely- appointed mission, "to teach all
nations" But, in order to give eficacious
assistance to our brethren, we, first of all,
need thorough and well-digested system
os organization. We have faith and en-
thusiasm in abundance; our numbers are
far from Insignificant; but we are sadly in
want of discipline and of directing minds
to induce order into our confused ranks,
and to give to our operations that combi-
nation and oneness of purpose which are
the chief worldly guarantees of success.
We are glad, therefore, to- be able to give
our readers the following authentic ac-
count Of the formation, constitution, aims
and action of the Roman Society for Cath
Ollie Interests.
The formation of the association was
entirely due to a desire. on the part of
the leading Catholics of Rome, to give
effect to the Pope's expressed wish for
community of action. The Society for
Catholic Interests recognizes as it's own,
favors, sustains and adopts every work
that tends to the defence of the faith or
to the freedom of the Church. The men
of position of whom it is composed are
divided into two classes. The first of
these, what we may call the honorary
members, contains those who are unable
to devote their time and energies to the
association, but who can and do, in place
thereof, contribute largely to its funds.
This class includes the majority of the
members of the Roman society. The
second class consists of the active men,
bers: those who can devote their time,
their intelligence, in a serious and con-
formed the various committees, each one
of which directs it's action to a certain
district, usually embracing several par
isles; and, as far as relates to its own
district, each one of those enjoys perfect
liberty of action, employing the means at
its disposal, and its resources, in the
manner most comfortable to the customs
of the Inhabitants, aud most likely to
efficaciously counteract the, intrigues of
the enemies of Christianity. Unity of
purpose is insured by the central COM

own circles or committees, which they have
put under the guidance of the central com;
mtttee, aud which follow the general policy
of that body, whilst, so far as concerns
their own government and mode of action,
they follow the system which appears most
suitable to themselves.
The first action of the Roman Society for
Catholic Interests was directed to the
cause of education. Many schools have
been founded by it 4; and up to q late period
the great work of the district committees
has consisted in watching over the manage
ment of these schools, and in constantly
improving the education given in them, 80
as to obtain for them an undeniable supe-
riority over the irreligious institutions.
With their remaining funds they have de-
voted what little leisure they have had to
the foundation of daily and periodical pub
lications, and to the completion Of arrange
ments for an early series of good and use
bers OF the Association have still higher
aim. Besides the establishment of schools
and libraries, they are DESTROYS to bring
about real fraternity of manhood. AT
Rome society fs mainly composed of two
classes of people-those contented with
their lot, and those dissatisfied with almost
everything that surrounds them. This
fact threatens q most fearful division of
class against class, and to prevent this is
one of the present aims of the Association.
A mode of operation is already decided on,
consisting mainly in the endeavor to bring
into friendly, and even intimate, inter-
course families in different social positions.
For this purpose those families moving in
the higher ranks of society are eDjoined to
seek to draw to themselves the families of
their more lowly fellow citizens. The idea
has been given effect to, by way of trial,
with every success, particularly amoDgst
the female portion of the community; and
now the ladies of the various aristOcratic
families rival each other in seeking friends
amongst the wives and daughters of the
middle and lower classes.
For the above account of the foundation
Q i'd operations of the Roman Society for
Catholic Interests we are indebted to let
ter of Mgr. Isoard, Auditor of the Rota for
France, addressed to the Archbishops and
Bishops Of France. That Prelate testifes
from personal observation to the zeal and
success Of the Association at Rome. His
letter has had the effect of putting in mo-
tion arrangements for the establishment of
q kindred Association in France, and we
trust we are not over sanguine in antici-
patiDg the extension of the movement even
to our islands.-Ldrerpo0l Catholic Times.

The General sat at table smoking leisurely,
while bottles and glasses showed how he
whiled the hours away. An orderly paced
slowly across the room, overcome with weari-
mess. yet kept awake by the solemn, heart
rending events transpiring around him.
I" What is your business, sir 2" was the alb
1upt demand, as O'Neil strobe into the room
and stood, with folded arms, before the mill
tary despot.
He was not allowed to proceed. A coarse
laugh interrupted him, and its accompanying
words silenced him effectually:

It was q strange petition. For the slowly

words.
The hard-hearted tyrant dropped his cigar,
and leaning over on the table, gazed curiousiy
and earnestly OF the speaker, as though behold
ing for the frat time something he had once
heard or read of, but never thought to see.
O'Neil's face, as he stood the scrutiny, was
pale as death his folded arms rose slowly
above the deep heavings of his chest, but his
eyss burned with light of hope that would
have changed demons purpose from evil into

feeling, except of surprise in the Generals

his face and settled round his mouth.

No wonder the orderly's hands were olasped
together and his broad bosom quivered with
emotion.
The General wrote q few hasty lines upon a
scrap of paper that lay before him, and hand
cd them to the orderly. few more words
were scrubbed, reaching which towards o'Neil
he said slowly:

hideous and O'Neil turned and left the room
without vouchsafing q word of thanks.

he asked, expect such return 1t seemed
not for he lit another cigar and smoked as
unconcernedly as though no power of life or
death lay in his hands.
It was moonlight when O'Neil reached the
street, and waiting for him at q little distance,
was the silent figure of the orderly, as he
thought. He came towards him; and as the
silver light fell full upon his face, ONeil start

His face was very pale, but lit with super

with glad brightness that cheered the young
