Tho Rev Superior General of the Lazar,sts
New York Freeman's Journall


From the Rev. J. s. Landry, c. M, Pres
ident of st. Johns College, Brooklyn, we
learn that on September the 9Th there as
sembled at the Mother House of the Con
grega:iOu of the Mission, in Paris, all the
provinca!s or visitors of the Congregation,
for the election of u now General for the
Lazarists. Many of these dignitaries came
from distant regions-Japau, India, Brazil,
and the United States. Among them were
Mgr. Geraud Bray, Bishop of Legion in
nartiLus, Vicar Apostolic of Kiapg- 81
IChiua); Mgr. Edmond Guierry, Vicar
Apostolic of Tche KIang; and Mgr. Tou-
vier, Bishop of olena in partibus, Vicar
Apostolic of Abyssinia; and Very Rev.
James Rolando, V. G. M, from the United
States. The final deliberation took place on
the 18th ult., when, after q solemn Mass, the
result of the election was made known.
The new Superior General is the Able
Eugene Bore, the Secretary of the Order,
one of the most eminent among the many
learned ecclesiastics of France. His know
ledge of languages is 30 wide as almost to
make him O Cardinal Mezzofanti Sn petto.
He speaks fifteen different tongues with the
same facility that made the Cardinal so
celebrated, and is one of the most distin-
guished oriental scholars in France. The
Able Bore was for long period director
of the house of the Lazarists at CONSTANT
NOBLE, where he was able to render signal
service to Catholicity. After the election
ceremonies had concluded the remains of
the late General of the Order, DR.. Etienne,
were exhumed from their temporary resting
Mace in the Mont Parnasse Cemetery, and,
after lying in state in the chapel of the
Lazarists, were re-intered on the following
morning with great solomnity in vault
specially constructed for their reception in
the sacred edifce. Several Bishops and
heads of religious houses in Paris, and
great number of clergy, were presenE Oh
the occasion.

o soul! when an interior light shows

A point of a good deal of interest, both to
newspapers and their readers, will probably
before long be submitted to the Uoited
States Court in this district, in the shape of
an application by the trustee in bankruptcy
of the estate of Jay Cooke & Co., to set
aaide "a contract made by that firm with
Mr., Henry C. Bowen, the publisher aud
proprietor Of the Independent, and to re-
cover the consideration on which it was
Bowen was to lend the use of his editorial
columns and otherwise exert himself to
promote the sale of the bonds Of the North
ern Pacific Railroad, in return for which he
was to receive in bonds and stock q per-
centage on the amount of bonds sold
through whatever channel, and be did
actually thus receive $50. 900 in bonds
and $460,O00 in stock, face value, of
course. The trustee now repudiates
this contract as contra bopus nnOres
and asks that the bonds and stocks be sur.
rendered to the estate. 1t ia possible that,
as between Jay Cooke and Mr.. Bowen, the
contract would stand under the rule known
to the lawyers as Sin pari deiictu, potion
est conditio defendentis," which may be
there is rascality on both sides, the defend
ant may keep what he has got. The court
will, therefore, probably have to decide
whether the trustee stands morally in
Cookies shoes, and, if not, whether the
contract is immoral. If it decides the lat
ter point in the affirmative, of course the
bonds would have to be restored to the es-
tate for distribution among the creditors.
Mr.. Bowen has, We believe, done great
deal of business of this sort. and we are
bound to presume, being Christian man
who is engaged, as we learn from state
ments of his own in the Independent, in
Z" saving wicked men and overthrowing
the power of the DEVIL" he does not be-
lieve it to be wrong.

It is a mistake to suppose that age strength
ems the will. The will is not acquired or pre-
served except by the exercise and habit OF
sacrifice and seif-abnegation. He who IN his
youth has not been accustomed to restrain his
own will, will end himself weaker and weaker
in proportion as he advances n-age. Nothing
il go powerless for good as an old man who has
done evil ia early life.-Chdrtes SaiHte-foi.

Because the heavenlier song is near.
Then let the heart bid tears away,

For song and prayer to stiffness grow.

was Lincoln an Inadel.

Ward H. Lamon, the reputed author
of life Of Lincoln, his intimate friend
and law partner for many years, answers
a criticism of Henry Ward Beecher in
relation to Mr.. Lincoln s religious views,
in letter to that reverend gentleman
which concludes as follows:
He entertained the belief that the
Holy Scriptures were not of divine inspi-
ration. On this point his mind had
reached fixed and unalterable decis.
ion. He was an in6del, and rested in
his conclusions. 1t would certainly
have been pleasant to me to have closed
the chapters of his biography without
touching upon his religious opinions;
but such an omission would have VIOLA
ted the fundamental principle upon
which every line Of the book was traced.

asserted that he was a member of the
Church of Christ or that he believed in
the teachings of the New Testament, the

The Lapns ana The Arabs.

The Swedish Government has on sew
eral occasions undertaken to bring up
young Lapps, in the hope that they
might at future time facilitate the
transition of their nomadic habits to
the more advanced condition of the
fixed population. But it has been lost
labor; in almost every instance instinct
has prevailed over education. A story
is told Of one OF these young men who,
BY his piety and his application, fitted
himself for admission into the ranks Of
the Swedish clergy, and then, filled
with patriotic zeal, rejoined his tribes
that he might shed abroad among them
the light of religion and civilization.
But. far from his converting them, be
abandoned the Bible for the wallet, and
the preachers surplice for the rags of
the nomad. So il is with the native
chiefs who are brought up in the Franco
Arab schools. Hardly are they installed
among their tribes, than, with a few ex-
ceptions, they return to the manners,
the prejudices, the vices and the virtues
of their people, as if they had never
Quilted the wilds Of Arabia or the from

When Parepa thought she should have
been a mother, two years since, she
went to England that the child birth
place might be the same as her own.
By.and-by she came back to US sorrow
fully, and left the little hope buried in a
tiny coffin. She sang again, and her
voice was richer, sweeter and tenderer,
but something had gone out of her face,
something Of carelessness for the pres.
ent-a something of hope for the future,
but her song had an added pathos, and
there was less laughter where she went.
By-and.by the renewed hope of becom-
ing a mother brought her back from
Egypt to her native country. Her pbysi-
clan had endeavored to hinder expecta-
tion from reaching too far into her
plans for the future; but she refused to
think of childless home, for a chill d,

In heaven we hope her dream is a
beautiful realization, for the dead
mother lies with her dead babe clasped
close to her bosom, and we are all very
sorrowful.

1t is almost twelve years since the

from an original printed copy of the
address of General johnson to the army

copy ever brought to Nashville:
HEADQUARTERS Army OF THE MISSISSIPPI |
CoRINTH, Miss, April 3, 1862.
Soldiers of the Army of Mississippi;
l have put you in motion to offer bat
tie to the invaders Of your country.
With the resolution and disciplined
yalor becoming men fighting as you are,
for all worth living or dying for, you can
but march to q decisive victory over
the agrarian mercenaries sent to despoil
you Of your liberties, property and
honor. Remember the precious stake
involved; remember the dependence
of your mothers, your wives, your
sisters and your children on the result;
remember the fair, broad, Astounding
land, the happy homes and the ties that
would be desolated by your defeat. The
eyes and hopes of eight millions of peo-
pie rest upon you; you are expected to
show yourselves worthy of your race
and lineage worthy of the women of
the South, whose noble devotion in this
war has never been exceeded in any
time. With such incentives to brave
deeds, aud with the trust that God is
with us, your General will lead you con-
fidently to the combat-assured Of sue
cess. A. S. JOHNSON,
General Commanding.

The most important item of news from
BARBADOS is the state of the crop. Although
a falling off of about 5000 hhds of the expected
crop was evident, yet the reaping in of it had
commenced pretty generally all over the island,
and the canes were yielding a strong and good
sugar, though not quite ripe. Great many
estates expected a full crop, aud others expect
ed a better one than last year. 1t would
seem, however, that in Barbados as it is here,
the failure of the expected rains of December
was the direct means by which the shortened
crop had become evident. The young crop,
however, was in fair prospects, and was i'm
proving vigorously. An extraordinary swell
Of the sea had surprised the island in some
parts lately, rising at a greater height than was
ever known before.
