Very Rev. Father Damen's Mission at
the Cathedral of st. Peter and st. Paul,
Philadelphia, was such a success, that not
withdrawing the fact that the Cathedral
chapel was thrown open to the public, and
that another Mission, SO to speak, was held

our informant, chad to go away, not being
able to gain admittance. AS it was, the
Missionary Fathers administered IL, 800
Communions 100 adults made their First
Communion 80 converts from other de-
nominations were admitted into the
Church, and the Rt. Rev. Bishop Quinlan,
at the request of the Most Rev. Arch bishop
administered the Sacrament of Confrma-
ton to 49O-candidates." This is proba Div
the largest Mission ever held in Phila-
delphia.

On LIST October, everywhere in East Prussia
the Catholic clerical school inspectors ceased to
exercise their functions. Every parish in the
province received Official notice, dated 4th
September to this effect. The Protestant cleri-
cal school inspectors still continue (; it is only
from the Catholic schools that the presence Of
a clergyman Is to be bRnished.

The Prussian policy crusbes out all
individualism and turns it's subjects into
intelligent machines. Men fear to write in
the journals, for the prison door turns easily
on it's hinges men fear to speak, for the
spy sits with them at their own fresides.
Manhood is gradually crushed out (;
despotism becomes national characteristic,
and they who patiently endure tyranny
from those above, rutblessly practice it
upon those below. Weakness losses its
claim to protection and strength cringes
before what it fears to be stronger. This
is not the true soil of heroism. This
is what We call Pru ssianism or Bismarckism.
Its fruit will not be the truest soldier type.

A curious proof of the increasing postal
activity Of Europe, as we'll as of the growing
circulation and influence of the press in
Continental Europe, comes to ne from
Switzerland. 1t has long been the custom
of the post Offices in Switzerland and Italy
to receive subscriptions for journals. While
correspondence was limited and newspa-
pers counted their subscribers by the hun
dred and not by the thousand, this custom
entailed no Inconvenience on the authori-
ties, and was great convenience to the
public. The increase both in the business
of the post Offices and in the circulation of
the press, has changed the matter entirely.
The Italian Government has forbidden the
Italian post Offices to receive any more
subscriptions for newspapers and the
Swiss Government has been obliged to no.
tify the Italian press that its post Offices
must follow suit. The Swiss Post Office
Department tried to establish an agency of
its own in Italy to receive subscriptions
and settle accounts for Italian newspapers
delivered in Switzerland, but without sue
cess. In the Swiss Canton Ticino, where
the people speak Italian, this causes great
annoyance, as the inhabitants draw their
journalistic supplies Of the best sort chiefly
from Turin aud Milan. The case ia stiil
further complicated for the Swiss suthorf.
ties by the fact that Italy, like the United
Statesen joys the blessing of an irredeenable
paper currency, while Switzerland is CON
tent with gold and silver, and paper con-
vertiRble into these obnoxious metals.

Gabriel Max, 8 German artist, is said to have
produced painting with the most extraordi-
nary characteristic. 1t is q representation of
the face of our Saviour. At distance, the
eyes appear to be closed but as one advances
they seem to open gradually until they bend
upon the spectator o mournful and pathetic
gaze.

Senator Booth On Reconciliation.

Senator Newton Booth, of Califor-
MIA, has delivered a speech in which
he shows his position in regard to ex-
Confederate officers in Congress-
He said in concluding his speech:
But they tell us a great many rebel
generals have been elected to the next
Congress. Why should they rot be?
When the government amnested them
did il mean to say, I'VE restore your
rights, butyou shall never enjoy them?"
When they take their seats in Congress
it will be with an oath to support the
constitution of the United States. |
DO not believe that the men who are
willing to die for their convictions will
be most ready TO perjure themselves
for place. Parties are but necessary
evils. There are great moments in a
nations life when the times should
rise above them. Why may not the
true spirit Of the people have way?
This is the centennial year. Let it be
a year of Jubilee" Before us is
grand outlook of history. Who shall
estimate the power aud reputation Of
this country at the close OF the centu-
ry now dawning if we people are equal
to the divine opportunity? Who
knows what trials may await US, what
temptations may beset? Let us chal-
lenge destiny as one people. Let us
have the only union which can be per
manent-a union of hearts. Let the
true feeling of the hour find genuine
expression unrestrained and recon
struction will come-not by legal en-
actment, not by force bills or writs of
law, but in the hearts of the people,
like the dawning of day, like the
breath of the morning, like the Spirit
of the Lord.
