The Ottawa Republican has good deal to say
about the noise and disorder that prevailed in
the Democratic Convention on Tuesday, but it
neglects to say that more than half the clamor
was made by a dozen Of Republican roughs who
mingled iudiscriminatsly with the delegates and
impudently voted on nearly every question put
by the chair. Instead of astonisment at the
noise and confusion, the Republican, would have
hit the mark better had it expressed its amaze.

Mrs. BRowER's MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT
If the applause and high commendation be-
slowed by those who heard it on the musical en-.
tertainment given on Wednesday evening, at
Turner Hail. under the auspices Of the Ottawa
Academy of Music, had been 30 much cash. we
have no doubt the concert would have been
better financial success than it was. In short, it
was simply shameful that such an array Of
talent should be greeted by an audience of $50
instead of six hundred.
Mrs. Carpenter is vocalist OF the highest
order, and though some Of her pieces were above
her audience, none could fail to be entrsnced by
her peerless voice. Mr.. Bowen, as a baritone, is
equal to any we had ever heard, and in the
Master and Pupil; and his solos Of " The Friar
Of Orders Gray" and "Mra Mschree," was sim.
ply inimitable. And then such violin playing
Is that OF Mr.. Hemsn Allsu,-oae only hears
it once in lifetime. As to our home talent, i,
is but just to say that Mrs. Brewer, Miss Hickey
aud Mr.. Phelps acquitted themselves with great
credit. We feel chagrinsd that Mrs. Brower's
earnest efforts to provide first clas. musical
entertainment for our people should have been
so poorly rewarded.

memory. -N1t 'f..=-.s .,.ly 81 49, 4bsr'-
Mr.. Ferret,i was an Italian by. birth, and We
are informed by one of his old friends here,
he was a near relative to our Holy Father,
Pope Plus the Ninth, and came TO st. Mary's
about forty years ago. His life WAS like that
of the great saint whose name he bore; that
is to say, like st. Anthony, he was hermit.
Away from all social intercourse, he. chose
habitation in che woods, on Bayou, Portage,
near the Gulf shore, about eight OF ten miles
from the village of Franklin. There he lived
on fish and Como, visiting franklin. occasional
ly for the purpose Of feeding his soul ana pIr.
chasing articles of necessity. He assisted the
offered here for the first time, and this must
have been some thirty or forty. years ago
Catholic faith was deeply rooted in his heart,
nnd he gave his pure soul up to God in his
ssventy-seventh year, after receiving the isss
sacramento of the Church.
