such an ado about the matter but would
gladly accept anything in the shape of an

they take their revenge out in railing
against those who, more fortunate in char

ence, their example would be pernicious
in that ii teaches that to hold office is dis
reputable, whereas it is and should be a
mark of esteem and confidence, and, to a
certain extent, a certificate of standing
and ability.

not the President, have chosen them. In.

otfice-holders to compare with the New
York and Brooklyn detalCations, and the
many similar cases among the numerous
officers elected by the people show us that
the latter are as frequently deceived as the
former. Nor do the dishonest men in

CAN 1T BE TRUE Within the last few
months a considerable number of persons
have called upon DR.. Walker, the pro
prietor of the popular medicine known as
VINEGAR BTTTERs, and assured him that,
in their belief, his preparation is an in
tallible antidote forum and tobacco. The
minute details which have been furnished
him forbid him to doubt the accuracy OF
the statements. This new claim of a
great remedy to the confidence Of the pub
lie will give a vast and well-deserved i'm
pulse to lis popularity. Heretofore the
BITTERs have been recognized as pure
vegetable tonic and corrective, devoid of
alcohol, and thoroughly adapted to the
cure of stomach and bowel complaints,
nervous disorders, bilious affections,
muscular diseases, and, indeed, a ma
jority of the ailments within the reach
of medicine; but if it will also cure the
craving for liquor and tobacco, philoso-
pliers, statesmen and theologians ought
to unite their voices in its praise Can
the good news be true? It is easy to test
the question. 8

The following letter has been addressed by
the Archbishop of Westminster to certain per-
sons named therein:
ARcHDIsHoP's HOUSE,
Westminster, November 21, 1873.
1. In the Synodal letter addressed to the
vincisl Council Of Westminster, we have al
ready made known that the growth of the
middle and upper classes of our Laity, and the
lie service render it necessary to lay at least
the foundations of a system of Higher Studies,
such as are required by our youth from IL or
19, to 81 or % years of age. Tho DEVELOPMENT
of such a system will, we trnst, under God, be
gradually made, hereafter the growing
needle of oar Catholic Laity demand.
2. We have been both directed and enoeur-
| aged to take this step by the authority of the
Holy See, and by the assurance that the powers
will be granted.
3. The Bishops, therefore, have resolved to
form an Academicsl Council or Senate, COM
posed of Clergy and Laity selected from the
whole Of England. as representing the expert
GLASSES, and also to afford counsel derived from
practical acquaintance with Literature, Science
| aud Art. The Lay Members of this body will
be in the proportion of two-thirds to the Cleri-
cal Members
4. To this Senate will be committed the
Office of celebrating and recommending, on
all SUBJECTS relating TO study, examinations,
rewards by prizes, burses or otherwise, the
selection of lists of names to be proposed as
Professors, and generally on all matters iu-
volving the welfare and progress of Higher
Studies.
The Bishops invite the following Ecclssins-
tics and Laymen to become members of tho
Senate: and to you, as one of those whose
services they are anxious to obtain ,.their invi-
tation is now communicated. (Here are given
the names, viz, of fourteen Ecclesiastics and
of thirty Laymen, representatives of the aris-
tocracy and gentry, of the learned professions,
and of Commerce or Art. The publication of
the names would be premature at the present
moment.)
S. Inasmuch as the most pressing need felt
at this moment is the want of some College, in
which those who are destined for our public
service at homo or abroad, for the Army, for
the duties of public life which locally attach
to our higher classes, and for various profess
sions, may obtain, under the securities and
guarantees of Catholic Professors and Catholic
guidance, q more advanced study of Modern
Languages, Modern History, Constitutional
Law, Physical Science in application to certain
professional employments, and, above all,
sound course of Mental Science and of the
Philosophy of Religion, with more c"ru ptrte
and scientific treatment of the Faith, the
Bishops have determined at once to proceed to
the formation of one such College, with houses
of residence, nader the care of Tutors. attach
ed to it: the first, as they hope, of many
which, with the growth of our needs aud
meaus, may be founded hereafter in other parts
of England, under the oversight of tue HER
archy, aided by the same Academcal Senate,

Catholic Higher Studies.
from the London Tablet

The circular letter from the Archbishop
of Westminster, which we print below,
Indicates fresh step in advance towards
the creation of an English Catholic Uni
versity. We stated a fortnight ago that it
would be premature to publish the .partic-
ulars of the scheme, as its details were
then under consideration, and to a certain
extent this reserve must sill be observed.
But the Bishops have been able 30 far to
settle foundations of the institution az to
decide on at once forming an Academical
Council or Senate, to which will be en-
trusted the daty of =" celebrating and rec
ommending on all subjects relating to
study, examinations, rewards by prizes,
burses or otherwise, the selection of lists
of names to be proposed as professors, and
generally on all matters involving the
welfare aud progress of higher studies"
This body will be composed of about four
teen ecclesiastics ana thirty lsynen, Sc
lected with view to the represen tstion as
far as may be, of the cultured classes of
the Catholic community, and it is to those
who have boon chosen to constitute this
Senate that the circular letter 10 addressed.
We refrain from Publishing the names I'M
til the list of those who have consented to
serve hos been officially prepared but we
believe that we may take for granted that
all, or nearly all of those who have been
asked will cooperate in the undertaking.
There will be representatives of the peer
age, of the landed gentry, and of the
learned professions, of science, literature
and art, aud of the higher commerce of the
country, so that all those classes which are
represented in the Convocations of the
older Universities will also find place in
the Catholic Academical Council.
The creation of q University, properly
go called, is an act which appertains to the
Holy See, and it will be observed that the
Bishops do not as yet give that name to
the institUtion which they are founding
They are acting under the direction aud
encouragement of the Holy See, land are
assured f" that the powers necessary for the
guidance and accom- plishment of their
work will be granted" But to whatever
form or extension that work may eyentu-
ally be brought, what they contemplate for
the moment is the creation of q system of
higher studies, the want of which has been
long felt to be 80 grievous. The Academical
Senate will form nucleus around which
any number of University institutions may
rystaliSe and grow, but the fret task
which it will have tor perform will be the
formation of College of Higher Studies
at Kensington, under the immediate gov
ernment of the Right Rev. MousiguOr Ca.
pei. The pace has been wisely selected
not only because there is a locality there
ready to hand, but also because the new
college will be able To draw on all the Ca
tholic resources of the metropolis, 80 "a to
collect n larger body of students and q
more efficient professional staff.
1t is indeed, as the circular letter de-
clares, " most pressing need" which the

In The course of the proceedings, his health
was drunk with enthusiasm. The fact,

slowly and with notwithstanding that he
was taken entirely by surprise that he
was wholly unprepared to reply that, had
