talking about the Left, the Right. the

The Left is composed of the Republicans.

The Extreme Left is Radical Republican,
or Communist.
The Left Center is made up of the Con-

willing to accept republic as the best

The Right is composed of the Legitimists

The Right Center represents the Con-

favor constitutional monarchy of a con-
servative type.

with the right, but there are only about

The Alexandria correspondent of the

The congregation of St. Mary's Church
has been enjoying to-day the pleasure of
visit from the Right Reverend Bishop
Gibbons. He said the seven O'Clock Mass
this morning, and Immediately afterwards
confirmed ninety five persons, very large
number indeed, considering that but a
single year has elapsed since we have had a
Confirmation, the usual interval being two
or three.
Those confirmed may be clsssed as fol-
lows white boys %, colored boy 1, white
girls 36, coiored girls 4 total children 50,
of whom II were colored. Adults-white
lo, of whom were men colored of
whom four were men total adults &c.
Several OF these were recent converts.
Before administering the Sacrament,
Bishop Gibbons addressed the children in
q most impressive exhortation, and, after
the blessing he gave them a beautiful
charge. AT the High Mass he preached a
brief bus eloquent discourse, on the iuvo-
cation of saints. On Tuesday next he will
lay the corner stone of the new Church of
st. James at the village of Falls Church.

Alexandria Catholic Beneficial Society will
be present and a festival will be held by
