Next Tuesday, the l4th, will he the
twenty-fourth anniversary Of the con-
secrat ion OF Right Rev. Bishop de st.
Palais. of this Catholic diocese. For
almost quarter of a century he has de-
voted his time, talents and means 10 the
improvement Of the Catholic population
of the Southern half of Indiana, and can
look around with commendable pride
and view the work he has accomplished.
Churches have been built. schools 'es-
asylums founded, and nothing
left nndone To serve his people. Few
men whom we have met possess the sim
iplicity of manner and dignity of char
acter which we observe in Bishop ST.
Palais, and few persons have the power
of making others love him as lie does
Pure-ninded, sincere, and without tie
intention to wound the feelings of a
single person, he is highly esteemed
alike by both Catholic and Protestant.
On that day, which is now near b.,
prayers from the hearts of tens of thou
sands OF devoted people will ascend 10
the Throne OF God for the happiness Of
the Bishop and the prolongation Of his
useful life. May he live long TO guido
and direct his people is our sincere pray

THE VIENNA EAIR.

It is generally known that the com.
ing Vienna fair will be the grandest
undertaking of this kind yet attempt
ed hut it is less widely known how
the dimensions Of the bindings and
the grounds compare with those of eX-
hihitions which have preceded it in
London and Paris. Considering,
lhcn, the acres occupied by the buiId.
ngs, nnd taking the French square
metre as he standard of measure.
me:lt, we fud that the total area of
The London exhibition Of 1851, in
Hyde Park, ws 81 ,59l square metres !;
that Of Paris, held in the Champs
Elysees, in 1855, was 103,156 square
metres that of the crystal palace of
London, held at Brompton, in 1862,
was 186,l25 square metres; that Of
Paris, held in tie Chanp.de. Mars, In
1867, WAS 441,750 square metres.
But ths area of The coming Vienna
fair, to he held in the pratcr during
the present year, 1873, is 2,330,3G1
square metres. The French metre is
about a yard and a twelfth long; or,
more exactly, it is 99,3S English rnch-
cs. OF course, the preceding meas
urements include the whole surface
slaked oft as belonging 10 the expoSi-
tions, and in Que way or another &C.
cupied by them. Il will he seen that
the Vienna eX osition occupies nearly
thirty times as much space rs that of
