Father Burke and the Dublin Nation.

Referring to tue article copied last week
by Us, from the Dublin Nation, in which
that paper took exception to certain senti-
ments reported as having been expressed
by Father Burke, at the dedication of the
Armagh Cathedral, We copy the follow
ing letter written to the Dublin Freeman
by the Very Rev Father:
To tho Editor of tho Freeman;
Dear ain AN article appeared in Satur-
days Nation which has caused me, como
pafn and may create Impressions which, as
a priest and an lrishman, feel bound to
remove. I make 1t a rule to take no notice
of newspaper attacks on myself This one,
however, must notice, both ON account Of
the gravity Of the charge and Of my respect
for the journal, In which it appears am
accused Of having asserted that Ireland's
nationality was "lost, gone, dead, per
ated." Even if believed this, would be
the last man IN the world to assert 1t. Ny
heart would not permit me to publish my
naother,A shame wonld weep DER it in
silence" But / do not believe it. Amongst
the millions Of our race there Is not one
who loves and glories in Ireland's ma
tionality more fervently than l. Next to
my religion and my mother, the Catholic
Church, comes the nationality Of Ireland.
/ believe in it; hope for it; love 1t.
should consider myself unworthy to bear
the honorable name of lrishman IL be-
lieyed that Ireland's nationality had per-
ished. AS an Irish priest and friar
belong to an order Of men who have taught
the world what devotion to Ireland's cause
means, and who have proved that Glove is
strong as DEATH" In truth, however, there
ia no real difference between the writer in
the Nation and myself. We are both Irish
men and Catholics. We both recognize the
great fact that Ireland is Catholic, and that
she is still q nation. Her religion and her
duality stand side by side. They
have both been tried by fire and sword
aud they have shown themselves to DO I'M
mortal--not capable of being destroyed: In
this grand historical fact we all glory Inc
ONLY difference between us is thts-in my
opinion il was Ireland's divine faith and
religion that preserved her nationality.
1The writer in the Nation thinks 1t was the
nationality that preserved the religion,
for he saws, chad Irish nationality been

NEW RUSSIAN SEcT.--A new sect has lately
sprung up at Kslourga, Russia. Its foun der
is a cobbler, and it is spreading its doctrines
rapidly. The son Of St. Crispin grounds his
system as usual on n msinterpretation of
Scripture-we should rather say on the words of
Our Blessed Lord--that the true adorers adore
God in spirit. The chief tenet of the sect is
that everything material ought to be excluded
from Divine worship, 80 that there is to be
neither priesthood, sacrament, nor ceremonies :.
it is enough to sigh after God, and to lift up
the eyes and hands to Him without moving
the lips. God asks of us-they maintain-no-
thing save the beatings of our hearts 1t is
the devotion of the Sacred Heart perverted
and deprived Of its light and warmth. The
yotsries of this scot are called " Vozdik-
'hsntEi," OF suspirants. They pretend that one
single Sigh, If only heaved with earnestness,
Is E1fieient to atone for all the sins that a man
can commit and that it is no Pin at all to
crafty the passions which Nature has put into
US they are created within us for the purpose
of being gratifed. The Government leaves
these people alone; it keeps its severity and
its vigilance for the Catholics and their con-
fraternities. The recital of the Rosary throws
it into fever and it sees venom hidden under
scapular.

NEW ORLEANS, SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER ss. 1873


Departed this life at Mobile, Ala, Friday
morning, Sept. 18th, 1873, at O'Clock, Sister
Mary Regina Smith, aged 2e years. ,'
This simple announcement will touch the
heart of every one who has felt the influence
Of the noble and devoted Sisters of Charity, or
seen the purity and exceeding beauty of their
life. The sad event will cause the heart to feel
keener pang at this time, when the dread
pestilencs-of which she was the first victim
is stalking through our terror-striolren land,
and when the tender ministrations of her holy
Sisterhood are so urgently needed. For we all
know their pure, unselfsh, and beautiful char
ity for suffering humanity in the past-how
like very angels of mercy they watched the
raeked and riven to soothe, to comfort, and to
bless. The history of their grand devotion is
written too deeply in our hearts to be forgot
ten.
Sister Regina came to Mobile from Pittsburg
in the City Hospital. The year following, the
city was visited by yellow fever in epidemic
form. Sister Regina was there ct her post
nursing and watching the sick with the beau
tiful charity SO singularly characteristics of her
devoted sisterhood. And through the cpl
demic Of 1870 she was still at her post living
her beautiful life.
About year and half ago Sister Mary,
who had until then administered the affairs of
the Providence Inarmary with signal ability,
was transferred to the Hotel Diew, N. O., and
Sister Regina assumed the duties of the office
of superioress ofthe Inirmary. She discharged
the duties of that Office intelligently, faith
fully, and ably, to the day of her death
winning tho respect, esteem and love of the
entire community. She was an accomplished
chemist, and, prepared in person, all the pre-
scriptions used in the Infrmary: she also
possessed much knowledge of snrgery-indeed
she was said to be an excellent assistant sur
geon. Her loss to the Infrmary is almost
irreparable.
Her funeral ceremonies took place at St..
Joseph's Church, all the priests in the city,
and many sorrowing friends being present.
The funeral sermon was preached by Father
Ryan. 1t was fitting that her rough bier
should be strewn with the sweet flowers of
eloqhence and poetry-that the poet-priest
should pay tribute to the Sister of Charity.

will be distinguished The organization is yet
to be perfected by the election of officers and
the adoption of a constitution and bylaws.

making rapid headway.
