Something About Ghe Creation Of the
AHaeFfesn CRrdinaI.

Catholic Telegraph
With all the good feeling possible and
perfect good nature, the undersigned
rises TO answer q question, started ID
some Of our newspapers:
First-Did Archbishop Purcell oppose
the creation OF an American cardinal?
Answer-He did not this year or the
last. But he did twenty-four years ago,
not exactly oppose it, but he &. d IL le3l,
state to the cardinal project Of propa-
ganda the opinion Of Archbishop Ken
dfic, Of Baltimore, that il was then IN
opportune and premature to create q
cardinal in the United States. This sab
isct was then discussed; and our charge
d'0fdires in Rome, Mr.. Cass, had rather
much TO say on the subject, ATchbisn-
OPS Hughes and Purcell were then III
Rome, where each received the Paliium
from the hands OF his holiness, and tue
latter took occasion to ask the holy Ia
Their il il was true that the former was
to be raised to the caTdinalate, the fu'
NOR being at that time current mat
Archbishop Hughes bad received SUD
sidy from the Leopoldane association at
Vienna, to enable him to meet the ex'
penses OF the high dignity. The holy
father smiled at the rGse adopted by
Archbishop Purcell, TO fed out the truth,
and replied, at ia true that
the American government has asked
for the appointment Of cardinal, not
'Celui la mais Un cardinal not him,
but a cardinal" and 1 answered,
"rhere was then no place OF cardinal
priest vscsnt." This was true and at
the same time quite diplomatic on the
~ hfa hnlinaoG
Second question-Wss Archbishop
Purcell not made cardinal because Of
his having opposed the definition OF the
pope's infalli6ility? Answer-No; for
M'Closkey also opposed 1t,
He was one of some ten American bI5h-
ops who signed paper addressed to the
holy father, deprecating the dehnltlon,
as did seventy other bishops. And the
fact of the pope's making him cardinal,
and sending the psIlium to the prince
bishop Of Breslsu, and laudatory letters
to Bishop Dupsnloup, who also spoke
and wrote against the definition, proves
that TIE bishops had perfect freedom OF
speech, and that they not only incurred
no disfavor, but have bsen commended
by his holiness fer their ingenuousness
and a certain decent independence
which, il censured elsewhere, is not
placed under the ban in Rome.

Archbishop of CiucinnaI.

EUCALYPTUS.
What the Fever Tree has Accomplish nc d
for FeVeT-Strfckeu Countries.


Chicago Tribune.l
The eucalyptus, or blue-gum tree of
Australia was discovered by a French
scientist, Labillardiere, who visited Van
Diemen's Land in 1892. The great size
and beauty of the trees soon gave it
place in the botanical gardens of Europe
It's medicinal qualities however, for
which it is now so famous, d. not seem
to have become known until about
thirty years ago. The cOlonists of Tas-
mania used it for great variety Of puT.
poses, hut were ignorant Of its power as
an antiseptic. This was apparently dis.
covered in Spain. In 1850, the neigh
borhoCd of the City OF Valencia Yves
planted with the eucalyptus A marked
Improvement in the healthfulness of the
locslity followed. The Spaniards forth
with dubbed it the I" fever-tree"
II was soon afterwarl introduced
into Algeria, the climate Of
which seems to be especially adapt
cd to it. 1t may fairly be said to be nat
there, at the Cape of Good Hope,
in the La Plata States Of South America,
and in California. Outside Of these eli
mates it leads precSrious life. After q
trial for many years in southern France
il has failed, as q rule, to become hardy
or to suck up and destroy the poisonous
vapoIs Of the swsmps in which it was
planted. The few dozen specimens |
planted within the walls Of Rome are
nearly all alive, but very few of them
are vigorous. Within year or two the |
rrappist monks at the Ire FOntaue con- |
vent have set out large plantations of
the trees and are tending them with the |
utmo care. This may fairly be Looked |
upon as q decisive experiment. The |
place known as Ire Fontsne-the Three |
some miles south Of |
r lme, and is the seat Cf a magnificent |
Yet its climate Is so dead /
ly that the splendid buildings, rich in /
marbles and frescoes, are
wholly deserted during the summer. |
irving to live in them then would be /
certain death. II the blUe.gum tree 4
makes the Ire F0ntane healthy, IL can I
be relied on TO do the same work any /
where else. It's record as an antiseptic /
and disinfeetant is already good one |
Tbs districts in which it is indigenous
are healthy, and those into which it has |
been trsnsplaniei and in which il has /
thriven are healthy. A few miles from .
the city of Algiers there was a farm |
which was noted for its deadly feveTs. |
Life on 1t in July was almost impossible.

A GROsr IN ALBANY.
An Cnknswa Human Face that Was
Distinctly Pressed Against
q Pane.

From the Albany Argus
One evening, q week or two since, a
lady residing in one Of the southern
wards was returning to her home from
a sCciSl gathe ring at 3 private house,
near the hour OF midnight. She vas
accompanied by q male relative, who
lived ia the same house. As they were
about TO ascend the steps, both glanced
upward toward the windows Of the Sec
ond story, and at one Of them both saw
with perfect distinctness human face
pressed against the pane. The features
we're not known to either, but presum-
ing il TO be friend OF their neighbOr
as there was more than one family in
The house, nothing strange was thought
OF it at the time. Before retiring, but
after both had barred their feet, the lady
and her companion beihought them
selves OF some article to be procured
from the lower part OF the house, and as
its exact location was known, they de-
scended without light. On returning,
just as the young gentleman placed his
foot upon the landing at the head OF the
stairs, he felt beneath il a yielding
the shape Of which
WAS so clearly defined that he
exclaimed: "Why, aunty, L
stepped on somebody's thumbW At
the same instant, the lady putting down
her foot, responded: " | have stepped on
the hand" No sounds of retreating
footsteps were heard, and such examine
ton as the darkness permitted failed to
discover auy human being near them.
On procuring light, a moment later,
both soon satisfied themselves that no
creature OF flesh and blood was in the
immediate vicinity. Wondering and
trembling at the contact with these
mysteries The witnesses retired to their
beds. In the morning a simple inquiry,
which attracted no attention, elected the
fact that there had been no living per-
son in the house the previous night
other than the usual members Cf the
family, and critical comparison of the
features Of each one with the face she
had seen, a sharp impression Cf which
was fixed in her mind, convinced the
lady that il was Lot that Of any one of
them. The most startling and mystic.
Tious Of the phenomena remains to be
told. As il 10 convince them that their
had not been worked upon
by any means to create the impression
we have detailed, there appeared upon
the bottom OF the gentlen- ans foot the
next morning, plainly printed in color
quite like bloOd-red, the fac sinl5le Of the
thumb he had felt beneath il, and upon
the foot OF the lady was as clearly de-
cernible the likeness Of the inside Of
human hand.

CALIFORNIA.
What a Leading Newspaper OF the
Golden State Says OF the EmmigFa-
IIOn and Immigration Workers,

Pausmint (Cal) News
For the past two years everything
that could be devised by railroad COM
panies, large Iandholders and Others, to
induce immigration to California and
the other Pacific States, has been re-
sorted to. Books, pamphlets and huge
newspapers without number have been
published and sent broadcast through
out the eastern States and even to Eu-
rope. Good writers have been en-
plOyed who have written plethOric ard
high sounding letters to the eastern press
eXtOiling the virtues Of our glorious eli.
mate, our agricultural, viniculturai, nor.
ticultural and mineral resources, and OF
the multiplicity of opportunities for en-
pigment of the working classes. These
constant efforts have had their effect,
and the mightiness of the pen has been
shown in the fact of the immense num-
bers pouring into our great State. such
an increase of population to a State,
probably has never occurred since the
formation of cur government. But how
do we find ourselves prepared to receive
this great Influx of immigrants? 1G-
stead of being in q condition to avail
ourselves of this increased help, We are
compelled to say to thousands of those
desillng work: awe have nothing for
you to do this year; we have short
crop, and cur farmers have little need
for help; you have come too soon," The
immigrant cannot wait yesr-nay,
many OF them cannot wait week-for
employ nent. And what is the result?
Hundreds will return, indeedare return
ing, and the reports they will convey TO
their friends OF the manDer in which
they were received will result sadly to
the reputation OF California and the Pa
cific States. On the other hand, those
who are compelled to remain, for want
Of money TO return, become tax upon
others, until "times change" or
"anOther harvest comes on, or perhaps
secures work at the expense OF some
man as poor as himself, by rafting him
out of a position, thereby making the
erich richer and the poor poorer" The
trouble is, sufficient thought was not
given by the Originators Of this immi'
grafton scheme as TO what should be
done with the newcomers. Schemes
to the State might have
been devised, so that all could have beer
digging irrigating canals
to water the now barren lands they are
to purchase, so that by
next year, perhaps, these,numerOus work
ers would be enabled to procure small
farms, by working which they would pro-
duce a revenue that would have en-
riched the State. Having a knowledge
Of the character of some Of the origin a
tors of this scheme, and knowing that
they could not but lie bene flied by the
influx of large population, We express
the opinion that they were governed
more by selfish motives than by any de-
sire for the general prosperity of the pub
lie. We desire to see the State advance
on the road to greatness and prosperity,
but we think the Inauguration Of such
schemes, without making due prepare
lion TO furnish employment to those
who come amongst US, will have more
Of a tendency to give US an Irishman's
hOist-"S peg lOWer.n

present at the exhibition place tonight
for the distribution of prizes. The lord
mayor OF Dublin presided and distrib-
uted prizes which included badges for
each member Of the American team.
Lord Mayor Leech and Sir James
Mackey made speeches, congratulating
the Americans on their victory. The
mayor said that the victory would serve
as an additional tie between the two
countries.
Colonel Gildersleeve responded. He
thanked the lord mayor and all others
in Dublin and Ireland generally for the
warm hospitality and generous applause
that had been accorded his countrymen,
and assured them that the occasion
would never be forgotten by Americans.
At the conclusion of his remarks he pre-.
sented an elegant cup Of American sill
yer and manufacture, to be shot for
annually by the Irish rifiemen. The
gift was enthusiastically received. On

In the spring Of 1867 thirteen hundred
eucalyptus trees were plated there.
They were nine feet high by the next
July, and not case Of fever appeared.
Nor has one appeared since. Near Con-
stantine, Algeria, there were vast
swamps. never dry even in the
hottest summers, and productive
OF violent periodic ievers. About
fourteen thousand eucalyptus trees
dried up every square foot OF swamp
and killed the fever. Msison Carree,
near Hanesch, was once a great market
for quinine. The demand for that drug
has ceased since TIE blue-gum tree was
planted there. Mercantile books are
said to show a LimilaT decline in the
