Record Of German Persecution.
CATHOLIC DEMONSTRATIONS.


Holy See by joyous solemnities. On the
| occasion of the 26th anniversary of the &C
cession of Plus TX. the Bishops, OF, if they
were in prison, their Wears General, made
arrangements to celebrate the 21st of June
in the most brilliant manner possible, to
thank the Almighty for the long aud fruit
full reign of the Holy Father, and to pray
for the speedy triumph Of the Church. In
order to promote jealous sympathy in
this solemnity, and to give occasion of
I numerous Comm unions, it was a very pro-
| ftable idea of the Archbishop of Colleagues
Vicar General to unite with this another
festival, to which Plus TX. had annexed
Plenary Indulgence namely, the finding
of the relics of the Holy Martyrs Gervasius
| and Protasius, and of the Holy Doctor, St.
Ambrose.
HERR Won MALLINCKRODT.
But nothing has impressed the Catholic
people of Germany so deeply as the death
Of Herr Won Mallinckrodt. Everywhere
there are solemn services for him no cor
butte of gratitude. A committee has been
already formed for the erection of a monu-
ment worthy of him; and there will not be
one alone. There has been not only ques
ton of statue of the illustriOus man, bnt
monuments of other kinds are contemplat
ed, as for instance, the foundation of q new
Catholic parish in Berlin, the chief scene
of his labors or the erection and endow-
ment of a mission in some part of Germany
where Catholics, surrounded by others of
q different religion, and almost without
possibility of spiritual help, are lost through
neglect. This was q work very dear to the
deceased, and one for which be made many
sacrifices. 1t seems as though the AL
mighty designed to stir up more enthps iasm
and zeal for the Church through the sdeath
of this man, than would have been excited
by his words and deeds if living. This is

in most remarkable manner to his bril-
liant talents. We give the following traits.
The Germania says: SIN the Circle of the
Centre Fraction his friends have more than
once had to compel him to renounce his
astonishing self -forgetfulness, and to draw
his light from under the bushe. Only
| few noticed it-now all the world may
know it-how every time that he had an
important speech to make in Parliament,
| be went at early dawn to receive the
Blessed Sacrament, that God might be with
him in the battle"
SALE OF BISHOP KUBELs GOODS.
Another seizure of goods has taken place.
This time it is in the Grand Duchy of
Baden, where a seizure has been made of
the property of Bishop Kubel, the Admin
istrator Of the Archbishopric of Friburg.
The same scene took place as every where
else. A great multitude assembled at the
auction, but there was no bidder. The
things were all bought in at last by a Ca
| tholic citizen, who gave them over to the
Bishop in the form of loan, by legal
deed.
| GOLD CATHOLIC" PRESUMPTION.
The go called "Old- Catholics" are as
Stunning an absurdfy threatening attitude
under the Sgis of the Government. At
Crefeld, an important Industrial town in
the Rhine Provinces, they we're bold enough
to call the Catholic Church the "New- Ca
tholic," and q four years old sect, which
was drawing down on itself the judgement
which it had stirred up in the country. A
circular was issued calling all the citizens to
join "Old- Catholicism" The interesting
document is as follows "AccordiDg to an
order of Government at Dusseldorf, Herr
Oberburgermeister Roos will receive, in
the Town Hall, on tie 10Th of June, at five
o'clock in the evening, declarations from
all Catholics of the town and district of
Crefeld, who wish to renounce their belief
in the new dogma which makes the Pope
infallible in his ex cathedra utterapces, in
all matters of faith and morals, by him self,
| and without the consent of the Church
and who wish to unite themselves in an
officially recognized congregation. In
making the announcement we have every
; hope that you will give free aud open ex-
preston to your convictions. in distinct
terms and no longer appear to belong to

is and always will be 9isobedienee to The
la,rs of the State. The scarcely four years
existence of the New Catholic Church has
always been sufficient seriously to disturb
the peace of our Fatherland, and tho peace
of our citizens, even in the very basom OF
their families Every thoughtful
man who cannot submit to this teaching
must say to himself in face of these facts
that he cannot remain in the Vatican
Church, because in so doing be viola ties
his duties towards his Fatherland and his
fellow citizens. For all these reasons we
doubt not that it only needs this appeal to
your conscience and your patriotism, to
bring you to n public declaration of your
views at the appointed place"
Well, this little flock is going to tread in
the footsteps of its Bishop, Dr.. Reinkens.
A short time ago he laid tho foundation
stone of the first Old-Catholic" alias
"New- Protestant" Church, in Protestant
town of Westphalia. The eolemnity took
place in the Lutheran Church. He ex-
pressed himself in these words "He look
