l. Archbishop McCloskey, of New York, was
chosen for the honor (of the Cardinalatel
because he stood at the head of a vast or
ganization of the Roman Catholic Church,
the resources of which, undervalued and
hardly understood hitherto by the powers
that rule at Rome, have come to be known
and priced and made the foundation OF tow
ering hopes. Half the Old World has been
lost to the Church. and of the remaining
part that still holds formally to its allie
glance many sections are mined by scepti-
clsm or shaken by discomfort. But. if the
Ola world be lost, may not the New be
gained! 1t is at least possible that this is
the inner thought of Rome in these dark
days. The destinies of the human race
seem to move westward, and in a relative
sense. if not absolutely, the star of America
wakes as that Of Europe wanes. But if a
century hence the Western continent will
outweigh in wealth and power the divided
societies of Europe, will not the dominion of
the younger civilization compensate for the
loss OF authority over the original empire
OF the church, The beginnings of the con-
quest have been made and the campaign is
carried on with energy, subtlety and perse.
verance. 1t Rome is 10 profit by these en-.
terprisee, she must encourage her cham
pions with approving notice, and dignity
them, alike in the sight of followers and
Toes, with appropriate rewards.
Thus it comes to pass that at length the
spiritual adolescence of Catholic America is
recognized by the Papacy. The bestowa al
OF cardin AIS hat on thei Archbishop of
New York is not simply a token of the
Papal gratitude for individual services; it
rewards powerful reinforcement, now, for
the first time, formally arrayed among the
champions of the Holy See. In this sense it
is understood in America, and, though Rome
is reticent by habit, her actions make con-
fession Of her objects. The growth of the
Roman Catholic faith on the American CON
tinent not only in the countries where it
WAS planted BY Spanish cOlonists and by
others of the Latin races, but in the yery
heart Of the society which boasts of its
Anglo-Saxon individualisnl, Is q remarkable
fact, but 1t 10 not novel one. The novelty
is that Rome has recognized it with every
sign of delight and hope. Twenty
years ago, when the Roman Cath
oho Church was fighting its way Wig

THE CAPTURE OF NEW ORLEANS.
What the Navy Did.
BY GIDEON wELLEs.

1t would be a difficult and probably an
impossible task to correct the misrepre-
sentations, errors and perversjpns in rela-
ton to the transactions and events of the
late civil war Many of the mistakes are
doubtless inadvertent-false Impressions
which may be imputed TO careless or super
fetal examination or inquiry, but not few
were and are designed and deliberate mis-.
statements. The result of these misstate.
ments has been. as was intended, the crea
ton Of false history, particularly - regards
the navy and the Navy Department. Dur
ing the rebellion these errors usually passed
uneorrected, but the seeds, sown by Jealous
rivalry and malevolent partisanship, are
bearing vicious fruit. The fctions then
planted and spread abroad are made the
basis of history. Official documents of the
highest character indorse, propagate and

These were the orders deliberately pre-
pared and given by the Navy Department,
and faithfully executed by Flag Officer Far

was concerned, in April, and subsequently
above that city. He wrote to me on the

There Is an undisclosed history of neglect
or failure, on the part OF the military, to CO.
operate with Farragut in the summer of
1862, and assist the navy in opening the
navigation of the Mississippi above New
Orleans, after the capture of that city,
which should not be omitted in this CON.
nection.
In the original instructions of the Navy
Department to Farragut on the twentieth
of January, it will be recollected he was
directed, after the capture of New Orleans
IF the Mississippi expedition from Cairo
shall not have descended the river, you will
take advantage of the panic to push strong
force up the river to take all their defenses
in the rear"
In pursuance of these instructions, Farra-
gut, Immediately after the capture of New
Orleans and before the arrival of the army,
pushed strong force up the Mississippi
taking, on the twenty-eighth of April, the
batteries at Carr0lltOn, and, successively
thereafter. Baton Rouge, Natehez, Port
Hudson, Grand Gulf, etc. The naval expe-
dition and the success of Farragut astound-

tons by grand military descent from the
north. In which the river squadron, under
Admiral Davies, was to have performed
final success of that military scheme, which
he had prepared, but which the navy
had interrupted, little need here be
said; but It is an unexplained fact
and not to be cOntr0verted, that the
Army of the West wholly failed to
assist and cooperate with the navy in its
demonstrations upon and when ascending
the Mississippi. Through the months Of
May and June the navy captured the va
rious places on the river below Vicksburg,
and on the twenty eighth of June, Farrsgut

A Portuguese CuStOm.

On Good Friday the time honored
custom, SO dear to all Portuguese sailors,
OF fogging in efigy the false apostle,
was carried out with all due ceremony
by the crews of several vessels of Portu
guese and South American nationalities
IN London. At daybreak, Iife-sized
figure of man dressed in sailors cos
tune, with jack-boots, was hoisted to the
masthead, and placard fastened to the
breast, bearing the inscription, in Por-
tuguese, "This is Judas Iscariot. who
betrayed Christ. The efigy remained
"mast-headed F" until about ten A. NJ,
when the entire crew assisted in lower
ing it to the deck, the ships bell mean
while keeping up an incessant changing.
The figure was then carried three times
round the deck, and finally lashed to the
oapstan. The crew then armed them
selves with knottedropes, and proceeded
to belabor the apostle amid loud wells
and shouting, the ships bell all the
time ringing an accompaniment. Pan
nlkins OF grog were served out, and this
influence, combined with religious zeal,
rendered the foggers almost frantic
with excitement. The clothes were cut
away in shreds, and, when the figure
was completely denuded, the block of
wood which does duty for the body was
l.
kicked all over the deck. 1t was then
suspended to line and thrown over
board into the docks and repeatedly
dipped. Owing to the dock regulations,
the stump could not be publicly burned;
but it was chopped up into small frag-
ments, and hand over to the cook to be
burned under the galley fire.

A PetriRed Forest.

The San Francisco Chronicle gives
the following account of what promises
to be an object of interest to the tourist
in California: ....-.
Among California's most notable won
ders may be mentioned the petrifed
forest, about half way between two cele
brated summer resorts, Mark West
Springs, of Sonoma county, and Calisto
ga Springs, in Napa county. The forest
is situated in a wild and mountainous
region, and at a distance appears like 8
mass of fallen trees. On approaching
what at little distance appears to be 9
tree stump, it proves, on examination,
to be broken section of the body OF
some prostrate pine petrifed. Every
circle or years growth is easily discerni
BILE, SO that the exact duration of the
trees existence may be determined.
Next one sees the partially excavated
trunk of large pine, lying in an in
clined position. One sees in another
spot mass of solid stone in the form OF
fallen tree some seven feet in diameter
every fssure in the bark and knot
plainly indicated, as in that of tree
fallen by the woodman's ak, while
around, thickly strewn upon the ground,
are numerous fragments, similar to the
chips and broken pieces of wood that
are scattered by the woodcutter in pre-
pairing tree to be cut into logs for the
mill. On striking the stony mass with a
piece OF petrified wood it gives back a
metallic sound very different from the
dull thud produced by striking a rock
against wooden leg. So are to be seen
many similar trees, as we call these pc
culiar rocks, varying only in size and
length, all, however, having the same in
cline and the same general position, viz, I,
north and south. Occasionally a pecu-
hality is noticeable, such as the division
of tree into sections of various lengths,
ranging from three to seven feet; yet SO
slight are the fissures that separate these
"NS'AO1i' oAA"O ttO 81 WI y SllOIU UlSGttllC6
they have the appearance of one solid
log. Another popularity in one tree is
its color. While the general color of the
stone logs is grayish white, this tree is
to all appearances tree of stone-coal,
and the proprietor of the forest asserts
that it burns equally well with the best
quality of that article. The largest of
these natural wonders, as found SO far,
measures eleven feet in diameter, and is
excavated to view for distance of sixty
eight feet, though doubtless sitpenetrates
the hillside many feet further. The
space within the inclosure is cleared of
underbrush, and contains very many
beautiful shade trees of living oak, young
pines, manzanita (now in full bloom),
the madrona, and several other varieties
peculiar to this locality. Here, indeed,
is a field for the geologist. Not only in
this particular place, but the whole
range of mountains offers many attrac
tive subjects for analysis. -H

The Pope in the New World.

A Rome correspondent of the Journal
des DebatS revives the old story that the
Pope is considering the possibility of his
finally taking up his residence in the
United States. The New York Times
says The Pope's American friends, if
they are wise, will warn him against be-
coming an immigrant to this country.
In the Vatican he is spiritual potentate,
a successor of st. Peter, and an infalli-
BILE sovereign of the church. Here he
would have to pay poll tax, give his
name to the treet-directory compilers,
be interviewed by reporters, read the
Beecher trial, and-horrible thought
possibly be defendant in legal pro-
ceedings himself. What sanctity, divin-
ity, or infallibility could hold out against
such leveling influences as these ? Think
of the Pope receiving proposals from an
American "lecture bureau" OF neglect
ing to have his sidewalk cleaned, or be-
ing nominated for Congress, or riding in
q street car.

A Martyr 10 Science.

The case of Mr.. Walker, of Brooklyn,
who sacrificed his life to science, is at
tracting much attention. Extract of
hemlock is much used by the medical
profession use becoming more and
more extensive. daily. Whether Mr..
Walker designed to take his own life or
not will probably never be known, but
the fact that he did take the fatal drug,
and while under it's influence, and even
in the shadow of death, noted carefully
and step by step its workings upon his
system, has suggested everywhere a
comparison with those martyrs to science
who have "died that others might live. >

Medicine and the Press.

The New York Herald says: The
Kings county medical society has adopted
a series of resolutions which deserve the
attention of both physicians and patients.
Doctors have as a matter of dignity
ignored newspapers, and the member of
the profession who adYertises is for that
reason alone looked upon as quack.
The Kings county medical society has
wakened up, and proposes to establish
department of public instruction. We
are pleased to observe that it has dis
covered that the best way to educate the
public is through the press.
That &c the profession has everything
to gain in the way of dignity and in
fuence through the well instructed in
telligence of the constituency to which it
ministers " is truism (which should
long ago have been recognized and acted
upon. The theory that a doctor is
being without responsibility and abso-
lutte in his delicate and difficult vocation
can no longer be accepted. Science and
education have changed the situation.
Almost every intelligent person now un-
derstands something of the general laws
of health and little of the principles of
medicine. The doctor is not the less
important, but the patient is the more
helpful. We welcome everything which
shows that the medical profession is not
inclined to make mystery of general
laws and proclaimed discoveries, but is
anxious to call into it's service the com
mon sense of the whole community.
The Kings county medical society de-
serves credit for the principles it has
declared and its evident inclination to
illustrate practically the proverb that
:" an ounce of prevention is worth q
pound of cure" If it can give us good
ventilation in our public schools, if i
can make the law of health public
property instead of professional
privilege, if it can use the newspaper
press to disseminate correct ideas and
valuable discoveries, it will deserve more
than usual honor, not only for it's enter
prise, but for its example. Medicine
ought not to be mystery any more than
religion. Concealment of facts and
principles in the one tends to ruin the
body and in the other to the destruction
OF the SOUL Candor with the public is,
after all, the secret of success in any of
the liberal professions.
