Az its title foreshadows, this isa story of Irish
life and character. As far rs its. object and

An Outlook.
A. j. RYAN.

Whittier are the nations driftingf We
say drifting, advisedly, for there are Meth
or pilots nor stars to direct their course.
The political condition of the world is most
uncertain. Amid all peoples there are tu-
mults Of minds and men. Europe Is wildly
rocking on q black billow. Another de-
cade of years and present dynasties will
become wrecks. In England q feverish
restlessness beats in the pulses of the peo-
pie. In sight of the throne of thousand
years, republication rising from the midst
which, at any moment, may rise into the
thunders of revolution. In Spain, war
holds high and cruel carnival. In Madrid
there is government without power con-
testing against power without govern
ment. In Portugal there Is insecurity. In
France there is provisional government
living on from day to day, without pres
tige of the past, and with darkening pros
poets for the future. in Italy there is a
reign of o robber King, whose throne is as
unstable as the sands Of wicked policy upon
which it has been founded. In Rome, there
is Pontiff King IN uncrowned prisoner
waiting for death and God. In Prussia the
new Empire is beginning to show want of
solidity and homogeneity. In Russia there
is the dead quiet Of despotism and the
stamp of the soldiers who have marched
toward the East to open the way of future
conquests.
And in the United States there is the
glory of corruption.
And everywhere Religion seems to be
decaying. And everywhere the Church is
meeting with open or secret persecution.
Such 10 the outloOk-dark and mournful.
The causes of it we must explore. The
consequences of it We must strive to fore
see. 1t 10 not for rs to fold our hands,
hush our voices, and look idly on. In this
age Of activity we must not be passive.
Else We shall be defeated.
The questions of the age we must help
to answer rightly. The errors of this age
we must energetically oppose. We are the
men of truth, and the soldiers of victori-
Gus faith. It were crime for Us to re-
main inactive spectators of scene where
90 many interests are at stake. This then
our duty-to study the present state Of the
world to proclaim not our opinions but
our eternal convictions.
The Catholic Church alone can tell this
age what it needs-and we shall help to
tell it so.

time enough to comply with the behests of

Third Commencement of St. Mary's Col

lege.
A very large audience assembled ct the Va
rieties Theatre last Wednesday and Thursdsy
evenings, to witness tho commencement exer-
cises of this institution. As usual in tho as
semblsge there were some whose small tank
(high-pitched) considerably annoyed those at
tentively inclined. Bat these obnoxious few
were Lost in the many who, once. similarly
placed as the students on this occasion, came
with the remembrance of fellow feeling that
made them wondrously indulgent to any short
comings.
The programme, ON both evenings, was
characterized by variety of recitation, dia-
logue, essay and music. The last mentioned of
these-music-was magnifoently executed by
the pupils. Beautiful songs, sweet marches,
lively airs-al were executed with taste and
delicacy not very usual. We would particu-
larry commend Masters Eskart and Philips for
performed by them on their respective instru-
msnts-the piano and violin. The Rotations
wefe received with marked appreciation, es-
pecially those Of Masters Jno. st. German and
Leonard Noise. The character of Z" the Skill

gently personated by @ young boy named

point, but our conscience forbida it. We at
tribute no fault to the professors, for we have
had previous opportunities to listen to young
men whose delivery practically established the
Evolutionary attainments of their scholarly
teacher, Brother Thuran, the now President OF
st. Marys. Let it be understood we do not
intend this rs o censure, but merely to re-
mind the young gentlemen wherein they are
deficient, 80 that future study will render q
like remark unnecessary. This does not include
all. We had only one fault to find with Mr..
O'Connor, and that but q minor one-rapidity,
which is always attendant upon o first appear
anee. In all other respects we consider him
the best orator in the college.
A special feature in the programme of
Thursday evening; was comforting the degree
of Doctor of Laws on Prof. D. K. Whitaker,
who occupies the chair of literature. We
reserve his beautiful response for our next is
sue. The degree of Bachelor of Science was
then given Messrs. G. n. Campbell and A. AL
puente, immediately after which the four COM
mercal graduates, Messrs J. J. O'Connor, G
N. Campbell, j. J. Frau1ey and E. MoShane,
received their diplomas.
This was followed by touching valedictory
delivered by Mr. Campbell who retired amid
q shower of floral offerings. Subsequently Mr..
John McPhelin made an address replete with
good sense and excellent advice. The enter
tainment was concluded by drama entitled
"The Talismap," which was well played.

The Elections,

We may now begin to consider the war
"a over. Ohio has laid down the Ratchet,
and the other Northern States, 90 far as they
have given any recent indications, are in
sympathy with her. The predominance OF
the Republican party was virtually, 90 far
as the South il concerned, nothing but a
continuance Of the war. Its success was
always based upon an appeal to the bitter
animosities aroused by that struggle, and
its rule fastened upon us all the burdens
of the most cruel subjugation. It was
really worse than ordinary war, for in that
there is resistance with rs it was war
upon those who could not and did not re-
sist.
"War upon the South" being the motto
on the Republican flag, the defeat of that
party shows that the Northern people are
tired Of the war. The Are of animosity
has died down too low to keep up the ne.
cessary heat. The voice Of self-interest
says that such q swar is not without its
calm voice of self respect may be COM
mencipg to make itself heard, speaking
Of pobler things than persecution and
hate.
The present administration is the en-
bodiment of this feeling of ill-will to the
South. 1t got its fret grand rebuke in
Massachusetts. The administration can
didate-the man who gloried in having
"tamed" New Orleans and boasted of hav-
ing insulted Southern women, Butler-was
defeated by the party of decency. The
people of Massachusetts, had got tired at
last of citing on the upper seats of the
and seeing victims exposed in
the arena to such wild beasts a. composed
the Carpet-bag menagerie. The play had
lost its attractiveness to. them, and 90,
goodbye to Butler and other ring-masters
who had been managing the entertainment.
Massachusetts is not alone. The turn
ing tide makes itself distinctly felt in
Ohio, Iowa, California and Oregon. The
Northern and Western people are getting
siCk Of tho war and the negro. Violent
Aecesses of feeling are always followed,
'ooner or later, by . reaction. OF course
We may even now be mistaken, but it
would seem that the reaction 90 long hoped
or in thiS case has Get in at last.
The South has within herself all the
dement's Of wonderful prosperity, and

ave been withdrawn from her, when the

THE GENEROUS YoUNa MEN OF Holy TRINITY
PARIsH.-Last week we received 800 from the
st. Aloysius Society Of Holy Trinity parish,
Third District, for the relief of the destitute
in Shreveport. This handsome donation was
the proceeds Of performance given on the
Sunday previous by these young gentlemen.
In noting this generous action, We feel it q
duty that We owe to our young men generally
to call attention 20 the perfect organization
Of tho st. Aloysius Society. 1t was started
eighteen months ago by Father Thevis, and
now numbers about seventy members. Its OBJ
ject 10 the encouragement OF yoang men in the
practice of religion, while furnishing them
with innocent arnusenents. It is divided into
four classes, az follows: Dramatic, Turner,
Choral and Brass Band. The dramatic class
has already given several entertainments, each
time netting handsome amount for some
charitable purpose. The officers of the Society
ut present are G. Hawvichorst, President C.
Sporl, Vice President; A. Steiner, Secretary;
II. A. Lucich, Treasurer. It's members belong
to the most influential and jealous German
families of the Third District, and all take 90
lively interest in it's welfare that its success
10 assured.
The donation mentioned above was sent,
early Monday morning, through the HiberniA
Bank, to Father Duffo, 8. j., for distribution.

GREAT CONNECTION IN SwIrzERIAND.-The
persecuted Catholics of Jura have protested,
| in the only way open them, against the crying
injustice of the Radical Government. An i'm
mense pilgrimage, exceeding all that ever were
seen or heard Of in these countries, has car
ried an entire people in prayers and tears to
the feet of Notre Dame de Ia Pierre. Multi
tudes have performed the whole journey on
foot-over . most difficult country, for five or
six leagues, and fasting, women as well as
men. Several started 1t midnight, arriving
ct four or five in the morning. Masses COM
menced ct four Am. Almost all the priests of
Jura attended. Communions proceeded till
ten o'clock without interruption. Above 5000
approached the Holy Table, besides the num-
beers that had communicated ut home, previous
to departure. Sermons in French and German
were delivered in the open air, as no Church
could hold the $4,000 persons that had
assembled. N. Hornstin, Cure of Porrentruy,
preached for upwards of an hour on the unity
of the Church He explained that the duty of
the time-is to reject all schism, and maintain
unity. "a great crisis, il at hand! Catholics
perhaps are to be imprisoned or banished, and
replaced by apostates, coming like robbers or
wolves into the fold of Christ"
He then held mp the example of their fore
fathers during the French revolution, that of
Sir Thomas More, who perferred death to dis
honor that of Marie Antoinette, who repelled
the apostate priest sent to her; that of st.
Maurice snd the Theban legion. He then put
it TO them If they would promise fidelity to the
faith and the Church, whereupon q trsmen-
dous affirmative rushed forth from the hearts
ofthe immense multitude $4,000 and ascend
ed with their sobs up to Heaven ! The preacher
then said--"The God who allays the storm re-
ceives You're and He will send you triumph
in return. We shall have our Golgotha, our
with thorns, and our crucifction
but we shall rise again, like our Master, and
our grave-diggers will descend into the tomb
prepared for u.s."
