sweet Home.

At the close If the war many
Southern families sought homes in
the different countries Of South
America and in Mexico, with the
hole Of retrieving the fortunes
they had lost through the vicissi-
tubes Of the war, or to better a
condition that seemed at the time
to offer no hope Of improvement In
their own country. Most of those
who went to Mexico have long since
returned, and many who went still
further south, after meeting only
with disappointments and severe
losses, have been glad, once more,
to come back to their own homes.
Quite number of families went
TO Brazil and venezuela, lured by
promises of prosperity which lave
never been realized, and those who
had the means gradually found
their way back to this country with
an experience that told them that
the worst here would be welcome
relief from the bitter trials they
had encountered in their wander
ings. But there were some families
which went to South America, and
especially to Brazil and Venezuela.
which are still in those countries
without the means Of returning.
and are now living there in the MT
most destitution and misery. They
have made application to the res
ident representatives, Of the q. S.
government for relief, but those
officers were not empowered by
law to extend aid to them or to
secure them passages back to their
native land. The unfortunate con-
dition OF these people has been
brought to the attention Of the
State department, and through the
fundamentally of that Office the
Navy Department has fitted out
the u. S. corvette Swatara for the
purpose of making a trip to Para,
Brazil, and other South American
ports to offer free passage to all
American citizens who are in dis
tress and may wish to return home.
The Swarata sailed from New York
recently, and expects to make the
round trip in about 100 days. She
is war vessel, and is not very
well adapted to carrying passen-
gers, hut she has been fitted up as
well as her construction would per-
init, and as the entire trip will I've
made in southern ATTITUDES there
will be no very serious discomfort
to the exiles, who will be only too
glad to avail themselves OF this
opportunity to seek their Old homes
once more. On her return the
Swatara will discharge her passen-
gers at Port Royal. South Carolina
and doubtless some benevolent pri-
vate measures will be inaugurated
to supply the pressing wants OF
these wanderers when they land
upon their native shores.

What an Englisbman declares as

Col. John f. Gowen of New York,
skilful engineer, was officially
invited by the British admiralty to
tender proposals for raising her.
Col. Gowen states that he is conf
dent that he can do the work, and
his confidence is fully warranted
by past experience. He states
there is no question as to the feas-
Utility Of the experiment. 1t will
be remembered that he raised
seventy-eight vessels for the Rus
sian government at Sebastapol,
whose dead weight averaged over
5000 tons, ard he asserts he could
have raised dead weights Of twenty
thousand tons with the same
machinery by a simple extension
of its area. II was this same officer
who projected machinery for carry
ing vessels across the bar at the
mouth Of the Mississippi, with a
lifting power Of twenty-five tbous-
and tons, and the efficiency OF
which was certified to nv General
Mcclellan and General HUMPHREYS,
chief engineer Of the U. s. army.
The colonel says the Vanguard is in
no more exposed condition than the
Russian vessels in the roadstead OF
Sevastapcl, and she only weights
eight thousand Ave hundred tons.
He thinks It win only require two
weeks time to bring her to the sur
face after all arrangements are
perfected. He proposes that the
British government shall defray
all expenses, including those in
Cured by the construction OF the
machinery. The cost attending
the work viii be from $4,000 to
100000, or nearly 100000
After the vessel is raised, the ma

worth about rs per cent. Of their

A CORRESPONDENT OF the New York
Sun asks that paper II, according to ar
ticle thirteen OF the constitution OF the
United States, Archbishop NJ Closky has
not, in accepting the title Of cardinal,
denationalized himself, and the Sun
answers that a cardinal is not prince.
He is simply and exclusively sH eccle-
sias'ic OF the highest rank, bat one, ID
the Roman Catholic church. He has 10
princeiy title, and no political power.
What is really meant in calling him a
prince is that in the European order OF
social precedence he ranks with princes,
lust a. an archbishop ranks with duke.
But as an archbishop is not duke, 80
cardinal is not a prince. The case is
similar to that of our army and navy
officers. An admiral, for instance, is
not a msjor-genersl by any means; and
yet, he ranks with one, whenever there
is question Of social precedence or as
simulated rank between the two services.
There is nothing in being a cardinal
that is contrary to the constitution OF
the United States any more than in be-
ing an archbishop or q simple parish
priest; and we add that it wouldprobs-
bly, be difficult TO find among Ameri-
cans, either Of native or foreign birth, a
more sincere and hearty patriot than
Cardinal M'ClOsky.

EDWARD PIERREPoNT, the new at

born in North Haven, Connecticut, on
March 4th, 1917, and entered Yale as a
freshman in 1887, and graduated with
high hOnOrs, being one Of the Grafton
men Of his class. During the succeeding

OF Judges Gsggett and Hitchcock. On
being admitted to the bar he removed to
Columbus, Ohio, where he began the
practice Of his profession. Five years
later, in 1916, he removed to New York.
Here he continued in active practice,
rapidly acquiring reputation as an ad-
vocate which promised to become one OF
the foremost in the city. In 1857 he was

ter TO the then governor, Edwin ID.
Morgan. Up to the breaking out of the
war, he had always acted and voted
with the Democratic party, but without
taking any part in political life. When
the news OF the bOmbardment Of Fort
Sumter reached New York, he was one
OF the first to rally to the support Of the
government, ard has remained a
staunch Republican ever since, being
always a conspicuous friend and sup

AFTER the medieval psgeantry, says
the New York World, with which the
imposition Of the berretta was celebrated
on Tuesday, the ceremony OF the conse-
Grafton q Bishop Jaggsr, impressive as
fhe service OF conservation is, must have
seemed bare and austere. An English
scholar, Mr.. Kay, in accounting Tor the
fact that the Anglican church had lost
its hold upon the lower ranks OF the
English people, attributed their apathy
10 it, tinteIlectusl and unimaginative"
mode of worship, and certainly the
Roman church more than any other re-
tsirs in it's service the embellishments
NJ art, which made the medieval cathe-
drals the repositories Of all known
scjance As well as the nurseries Of all art.
Outside of the communion in which he
bss been elevated to the bishopric, Dr.
Jaggar is mainly known by reason ol
the bitter feud, almost threatening al
one time to smountto q positive schism,
which his nomination at the same tine
with that Of DR.. DeKoven created.

EMANUEL CHURCH.
Dedication Services by kt. Rev. Bishop
Fd-ImpH essIVe Ceremonies
and Eloquent Sermon.

A correspondent Of the Brownsville
States reports that on Saturday last, the
sixteenth ultimo, Right Rev. Bishop
G, T. Quintard, accompanied by Rev,
c., T. Collins, of the CovingtOn church,
arrived in Ripley, and was the guest OF
Major C. c.. Partee and his estimable
lady. On Sunday the sun shOne out
beautifully, and although the citizens
had but short notice OF the bishops
appointment, at an early hour might
have been seen large numbers moving
toward the place of worship, and by half
past ten o'clock'the edifice was jammed
to its full capacity. To great many Of
the citizens of Ripley the ceremonies were
novelty, and excited much interest.
After the large congregation had been
quietly seated, soon was heard from the
rear Of the audience footsteps and voices
of the bishop and priests, coming down
the aisle, advancing to the altar, when
the assembly arose TO their feet and re-
mained standing in solemn silence, till
the dedication ceremonies Of Emanuel
chuIch were concluded. The exercises
were solemn in the extreme, and COM
manded the most respectful silence and
admiration Of all who had the privilege
to witness them. After the conservation
ceremonies were concluded, the sacra-
ment Of the Lords Supper was admins
tered in most solemn and impressive
manner. The bishop arose, after the
usual exercises of prayer, and in lucid,
feeling and touching strain alluded TO

vanced, in explanatory sense, to those
not familiar with the Hsages and cardi-
nal doctrines of the Episcopal church,
the bishop rose to the full measure of the
occasion. AS he felt himself he infused
