Exchanges notify Us that Il, 900 troops of
the regular army are to hold the forts

the dozen, to be sent by Republican Gov

has not lost his military instincts. He con-
siders Washington ss the key to the situa-
ton and intends to hold it. Aud this is the

The Catholic World.
purposes.

The Catholic World for December is o bright
and ecasouable number. 1t opens with
searching review cf the doings and sayings OF
the recent Unitarian Convention at Saratoga.
The Rev. E E. Hale who seems to have been
the chief expounder of Unitarianism at the
Convention, is subjected to . criticism that
will probably invite reply, inasmuch as, from
the Catholic World standpoint, there is not
much left either of that gentleman or of q
rational Christian platform for Unitarianism.
The whole article is q sharp challenge to Unita-
rianism as we'll as healthy piece of criticism.
1t is followed by q charming paper on "Siena"
and its great St. Catherine, whose name and
fame belong to European history no less than
to the Catholic Church. Tho serials, Six
Sunny Months" "Letters of Young Irish
woman to her Sister," and "Sir Thomas More
continue. The last-named romance is an
nouneed to conclude in the January number
The present installment draws fine picture of
the great Chancellor's trial and condemnation
The other two serials are as full of bright
scenes and charming personagee, as happily
described, as ever. "The Young Irishwomsn
at last visits her native land and the return is
described with all the grace, half bright, half
pathetic, that runs so readily from her pen.
A short story, and q very good one, is " The
DEVILS Christmas Gift" The article on Prof
MivarFs Contemporary ErOITtio" gives An ex'
cellent idea of work that he's called for very
general attention in religious and scientific
circles. The paper on the "Catacombs" is one
of the best written and most interesting in the
number. 1t is Ostensibly q review of the Rev
Mr.. WithrOW's book on the same subject but
as the writer of the article plainly shows him
self far better acquainted with the Catacomb
than the author of the book, it can only bt
looked upon as rather q refutation than o re
