The result Of the subscriptions to
the loan recently put upon the mar.
ket by the city of Paris is calculated
to suggest reflections in other quar-
tiers besides Germany. The city
asked the French people for 250,.
600, 900 francs, and they responded
with forty-two times that amount,
in all 10000, 900, 900 francs, or twice
as much as they paid to Germany
in the form Of II war indemnity. In
our money the subscription would
amount to about 81, l00,0O0,0 900, or
little short Of the sum of our
national debt. Judging BY the
promptness with which the people
respond TO the loan demanded by n
republican municipal council, they
have abundant faith in the future of
the republic, and mean to give it Il
vigorous support. The empire, in
its brightest days, never drew out q
more generous and general testi-
monial of confidence than the young
republic can now claim. And the
fact that the people are able to sub
scribe so much money shows that
the country has recovered very
rapidly under republican rule from
the effects of the war.

diOceses, and tbcirrcspectivo bishops
TO tho dignity Of archbishOps. Tho
correspondent adds at il also said
that the diocese Of 81. Paul, MINI,
will be divided into two"
The bishops who are thus elevated
are rs follows:
Tho RI Row. John Joseph vii.
liams, DID,, the fourth bishop Of
Boston, was consccratcd on March
II, 1866. The diocese of Boston
was established in 1903. TO all
Catholics in tho dioccse-pricsts and
people--this great honor TO their
reverend bishop will bring heart
felt joy. In the United States there
is no bishop moro beloyed than he
Ho is emincntly fitted by nature to
to guide wisely, to Judge dispassion-
atcly, and to take safe charge OF all
tho high interests which belong to
hierarchy. Archbishop Williams
is u native of Boston, and is in his
fiity.third year.
The Rt. Rev. james Frederick
Wood, DID, the fifth bishop Of Phil
adelphia, was consecrecrated, con
jure SUGGESTIONS, April 2G, 1857
succeeded January 5, 1860. The
diocese Of Philadelphia was ostab.
lshcd in 1909. Archbishop Wood
is a native of Philadelphia, n con-
vert to the faith, and. is sixty years
Of age.
The Rt. Rev. j. NJ. Henri, DID,,
the first bishop of Milwaukee, was
consecrated on March 10, 1874, in
which year tho diocese of Milwau-
kee was established.
The Rt. Rev. } B. Lamy, DID,,
first bishop of the diocese Of Santa
Fe, was consccrated on November
"a, 1850. Tho diocese is very large,
comprising the territory of New
Mexico. with II population of about
10000 MeXicans, 5000 Pueblo In
dams, and 1000 Americans.
AS an instance of the rapid growth
of the Catholic church in America
we may take the dioccscs of New
England. In 1825--just fifty years
ago when Bishop Fcnwick arrived
in Boston, there were l priest in
Massachusetts; l priest in New
Hampshire; l priest in Maine; 8
churches, of which only one de,
served IL higher title than chapel.
And this was the Catholic church
mall New England.
Ten years later, in 1885, there
were: n priests; 22 churches
49, 900 Catholics.
In 1874, when Connecticut and
Rhode Island were made new d.
geese, there were but 30 priests, 81
churches and &c, 600 Catholics in all
New England.
To day in New England there are
one archdiocese and five--probably
soon to be six-diocescs. Every
where you find the Catholics with
their churches, schools, colleges and
academies with theii hospitals,
asylums, and houses. of refuge. In
the New England of to day we
number archb bishop, 5 bishops, AL
priests, 4372 churches and nearly q
million of Catholics.

''That's " hat I've Been Telling
Emily

Emily"
Canada's bright and sensible gov
ernor general, Lord Dutferin, has
given to the dominion people II new
by-word, which has spread with
electric rapidity from one end of
Canada to the other. On his voyage
out, being called on by the emf
grants to address them, he alluded
to this phrase, which had grated
harshly on his car: "Ho had the
misfortune of having too many
children" lord .Dufferin said : 81
remarked that perhaps no better
idea could be given OF the difference
between the old country and their
new home than by the fact that
whereas in England n struggling
man might be overwcighcd in the
battle of life by too numerous
family, in the land to which they
were going man could scarcely
have too many children. Here |
was applauded Justify, with cheer
full accompaniment of laughter also,
when was further greeted by an
approving thump on the back by a
staIwart young emigrant, Right
you are sir; that's what I've been
telling Emily" The Canadians
have got up the slang phrase,
"That's what I've been telling
Emily" having had the anecdote
made familiar by going The rounds
of the newspapers, and now one
hears everywhere, "That's what
I've been telling Emily"
