take n wrong view cf life, and waste
their energies and destroy their nervous
system in endravoring to accumulate
wealth, without thinking of the present
happiness they are throwing away. 1t
is not wealth or high station which
makes u man happy, Many of the
most wretohed beings on earth have
both, but it is a radiant, sunny spirit,
which knows how to bear little trials
and enjoy little comforts, aud thus OK

and to the misfortunes or the infideiity of
the children. This double duty we will
always perform for you and with you. In
these evil times, you must redouble the
fervor of your prayers, of your devotion to
tue See OF Peter, and you will ask that the
Church of Paris may more and more be-
come the consolation of Plus TX in all his
troubles.
In this way, Beloved Brethren, you will
respond to the benediction SO abundantly
bestowed upon our diocese, and which the
Holy Father has desired us to transmit to
you. May they become for us, for our
Clergy, for all the faithful committed to
our care, the incentive of renewed piety
and redoubled zeal in the practice of all
good works and this we hope, will be the
most preeious result of our pilgrimage to

ROBBERY OF THE CHURCH BY THE ITALIAN
GovERNMENT.-In less than seven years the
Italian Government has devoured all the pro
fits of the sales of Church property valued at
two billions, but which, owing to the forced
sales only produced Eve hundred millions. The
sales of the ecclesiastical property began in
1867, at about the same time as the forced cir
culation of paper money. In seven years the
revolution has dissipated, over and above the
annual revenues of the budgets, one billion in
paper money, and five hundred millions worth
OF ecclesiastical property, or about two hun
dred and fifty millions per annum. But the
revolution is like the sieve of the Danaides-
the more that is poured into it the less it con-
tains. Having no longer any religious property
to SELL Italy intends disposing of the property
of the poor and selling the various hospitals
and houses of public beneficence, which pos
esses property TO the value of one billion two
hundred millions of francs. Italy possesses
90, 723 of these establishments. Minghetti, in
The last session of the Italian Parliament, pro-
posed the sale aud appropriation of this prop
srty, but his plan has met with considerable
opposition, especially at Milan which has be.

MR.. A. NJ. SULLrvAN.-The Anglo. american
Times announces that Mr.. A. NJ. Sullivan, M. p,
editor of the Dublin Nation, will soon visit
America. The Il. Il. Times says:
Mr.. a: NJ. Sullivan, who is rapidly attaining
to the leadership of party of some I'M port
ance in the Honse of Commons, will pay a visit
to the United States during the autumn and
perhaps deliver course of lectures. His adj
vent will be hailed by the Catholic Irish in
the United States, and he will receive the well
come from all classes to which his talents and
the way he has applied them fairly entitle
him. lE is, perhaps, to be regretted that Mr.
Sullivan did not 80 time his visit that he could
answer on the spot the historian Froude, who
by the way, has retired from his labors on
FFGsers Magazine in favor of an extended tour
through the Colonies. Mr. Sullivan is pecu-
liarly fitted for this task, having some years
ago made the subject close study for his
" Narrative of Irish History" What we have
to get at is the truth, which cannot be reached
by cracking skulls or by abuse and Mr.. Sulli-
van is q fair specimen of the rising order of
Irish politicians who are aware that more than
is embraced in politics

Permanence of the Catholic Total Abstinence As.
sociations.
From the c. T. A. o. Journal

Jrrom Inc u L. A U. Journal
Some 'hink this Temperance movement
can",t be- permanent; that it will have its
day, 81" its aieed of good, and go like Others
ihey forget that they now speak not of q
mere philanthropic eDdeavor to Tighten
bodily woes, nor of a combination of citi
Gems striving to improve society or the State
by better legislative or organic regulations,
but OF religious organization, branch OF
the Church's machinery directed by her
divinely ordained ministers. 1t is quite
different from all former Temperance move
ments None of them were adopted and
fashioned by the Church as this. 1t is not
then to be compared with any.
While the earth remains, aud men az
they are in it, the passion for drink and the
vice of intemperance will have to be fought.
The Church will wage this war in her own
wisest way. Association, with Total Alb
stlnence, she has approved as auxiliaries to
her sacraments. She adds them to her
regular machinery to root out or abate the
great human vice. Temperance exists in
the Church, of itself; 80 does charity. But
as che gives to the one virtue the benefit of
this great human instrumentality, Associa-
uon-ln the st. Vincent de Paul Society
30 to the other virtue, Temperance, she &C
cords Association-in Total Abstinence
Societies. Both are weapons in her hands.
While they remain clear, true, and servica-
BILE, she will use them to remedy poverty
W.
stained or unwieldly, she will cast them
away, as the builder does a saw or an axe
uDuseful. AS long as poverty remains we
may fairly reckon on the Charitable Asso-
citation in the Church, and SO long as in
Temperance does its piteous work among
US, she will leave her children the Total
Abstinence Association as means of
relies.
Let US beware, however, of the error, and
Geresy of fancying our movement the only
agency capable of curing this sin. This
would be ruinous. The confessional ia the
regular institution of the Church for this
purpose, and she is herself the Temperance
Association. We are a mere " corporal's
guard " of her general army, on special
service. In this perverse world she sees SO
many keep away from the Confessional, the
avenue of cure, that she has taken the
Total Abstinence Union as the Shepherd q
hook, to bring her charge within the con-
ines of her fold. The safety is not, then,
10 the Total Abstinence Association, but in
the measure that it leads its members to
the regular means of reform and grace. In
the prevalence of this conviction and adhe-
renee to the principle involved we have the |
'ole guaranty of permanency in the move
nent.
Viewed as an arm or instrument of the |
treat Association established by our Lord,
It the divine Church, blessed by her Su
IRENE ruler on earth and held from misuse
nd wrong action by the vigilance of her
onsecrated and Amounted teachers in all
arts of the land, in many parts of the
7orld, it has hopeful promise of long life
. onr midst, doing it's blessed work for the
service, the peoples comfort, ard
,r Gods glory.

Financial Triangula ton.

Senator THURMAN in q published letlef
says: ia.
tho TIRE. angles Of any triangle are together
| enual TO Two right angles eau demonstrate
init the irGatoniSts are in error"
Wbv not do it, then? Anybody can DEM
cns.rste the first proposition so plainly that
all , DO see the demonstration must be con-
vinced. Now, let Senator THURMAN do the
like with his financial theories and we shall
have unanimous Senate.
But the fact Is otherwise than hr. THuR'
MAN supposes. There are two right angles
il any triangle, however large or however
small; but there is no triangle when one
side Is missing. SO whilst it is in free circu-
laliop. almost any amount Of currency,
large or small, is enough to do the business
of the country, and to measure its values.
But when the deposiIors in banks become
alarmed and demand their deposits, which
amount to fifteen hundred millions of dol.
lars, and demand them the same day, whilst
there are less than eight hundred millions OF
currency in tie country, the theory wont
work. One side of Nj. THyRAAN's trian-
lie is the using Of the same currency over
md over again. That side is knocked out
" q psnic, whenever one occurs.

Forests and the Rainfall.

CHRIsTTAESBURG, May ., 1871.
Editors DispGtch,- Il see an article in your

your philosophy regarding the fell!ug of
forests having no effect upon rainfall, must,
from practical observation, aud past demon.
strsticns, take The opposite Of your opinions.
For instance: we will take the State of
Texas for an example, that whilst timbered
districts do not attract more or less rain they
bring that rain in more equal distribution
and at more regular intervals. In the first
settlement OF Texas the entire face Of the
country, exclusive OF the river bottoms.
and eastern portion OF the State, was in
perfect state of nudity owing to firing of the
grass killing the underground the result
was that the first settlers of northern Texas
found 1t very difficult, owing to the irregu-
larity of the seasons. to raise one crop in
every three years. They gradually settled
I'D the country, prevented the annual firing
Of the prairies, an underground of mesquit
tree, indigenous TO Texas and Mexico,
sprapg up, and in few years clothed the
entire face Of the country. The seasons be-
came more regular, corresponding to the
Growth OF the timber, and now there Is not
= country in the United States that has more
regular seasons. AS the country became
settled further south on the Colorado, Gau-
dalupe, and San Antonio rivers, which,
prior to their settlement by planters
and the checking of the annual firing OF the
, prairies, the same regular seasons followed,
and districts that had never been known to

| cation became and is fast becoming the most
