Marshal Mac Mahon Paris, Oct. 4, 1875:
-Rumors have been prevalent for several
days past that the head of the State 10 recon
ling himself more and more with the he-
publican idea. 1t 10 not known to what
cause this change OF sentiment may
amount to nothing more-is to be attribu-
ted, but the insulting language which see
he'd towards the President in the Bona
= partist prints prove that they at all events
regard him as anything but friend to
their cause. The other day one of the
Marshaps aides camp was present at
public dinner, where the Project of the
Department towards the end of the enter
tainment, gave as a toast, Monsieur le
Marechal de MacMahon." The aides de-
camp instantly shouted the addition,
:. President de la RePuohque. ihis ut
tie occurrence is thought to be an indica-
ton that the Marshal values his Govern
mental title above aoy other that he may
posses.
The, Late Premier.-Another conversion,
just now very much talked of, is that of
the Due de Broglie. Your readers doubt
less noticed the speeches made the other
the Eure, in which he eulogised Nj. Theirs,
and professed his own adherence to the
Republic. 1t would also seem that the
Due de Broglie's new born Republican en-
thasiasn means to go still further. The
late Premier means to coa}esce with the Re
publicaus in the elections. There ia good
reason for this, in the fact that his own De-
partment contains none but Bonapartists
and Republicans voters, 80 that lie must
obtain the support of one party OF the
other IL he would escape being thrown out
{t is now said that he is trying to get re-
concled with M. There in order the more
effeotuaily to secure the votes Of those
same Republicans. The two statesmen
were once friends, but became estranged
from each other about two years ago.
The Nep Unirersities.-Whilep artisaDs
are busy about the interests of factions
that remind one of the factions of Bryan
tine circus-,rhite, red, green, and blue
Catholics of means and position are occu-
plying themselves with growing interes. in
founding the Catholic universities. have
stated in q former letter that four of these
are to be opened next month. That at
Anglers will have for its rector Canon Saube,
one of our most distinguished Thomists
VI. Garouyere, Professor of Law of the
Faculty of Renuee, will be Dean of the
Faculty of Law. The statutes of the new
university have received the appreciation
of the Bishop of Anglers, Mgr. Freppel, and
are to be published shortly. They seem
10 be copied in great measure from the
time honoured usages of the old Catholic
foundations at Oxford and Cambridge. The
students will reside in hostelries placed
under the control of the authorities of the
university, the houses being all regulated
by the governing council. Professionally
only few of the students will be allowed
20 reside in private houses in the town, but
they will be equally bound to conform to
all the requirements of academfcal disci-
pline, such as the keeping of regular hours
and the like. OF course the university will
matTiculate no members but such as make
profession of the Catholic religion and of
living in the practical fulflment of it's
duties. On Sundays and holidays all the
students, both interns and externs, will be
IN hn a fha ofNf
the Church. There will also be courses of
sermons delivered at various seasons of the
year, at most of which attendance will
likewise be obligatory, The Catholic Uni
versity of Paris will also very soon receive
its statutes. So will the new foundations
of Lyons and Lille. Those of Avignon
and Toulouse are in the course of forma-
ton, but will not actually commence dur
ing the present year.
The NelU French A rmieS.-The men of the
Army of Reserve have just returned to
their homes after five days maneuvres.
The commanders have expressed them
selves satisfied with their conduct in the
field, and it is expected that the Terrific
rial Army will next be called out for SINH
lar exercises, to enable it to gain some smat-
terinC of military tactics, SO that We may
not be taken wholly aback and at a disad
vantage should anything, or rather one
thing, unfortunately happen. 1t has been
asserted that Prussia objects To our organi-
sing orr Territorial Army, aud several for
eign newspapers have given currency to this
insulting statement: 1t ie, however, en-
tirely false. The Minister of War is every
day signing officers commissions for the
Territorial Army by the score, and the
oadrcS of the regiments will soon be com
plete. 1t is believed that the Territorial
Army is to take part in field mar Duvres
some time next year.

TAe' Jesuits.-Every year it has been
customary for come of the Jesuit Fathers
to meet at Cologne a group of the lads
who were going on to study at Feldkirck,
in the Austrian Tyrol. These youths are
children of the first families in Rhineland
and Westphalia. This year, az usual,
Two Jssuits met the boys at the railway
station at Cologne. Just as they were
,ya6oat entering the train they were arrested
by the police, and the boys had to make
their joaruey alone. OF course the Fathers
will have, to be released, since as vet there
