Death Of Rev. John Hs.l.n.

By special request We last week refrRined
from u entioniag the death of this MOST estiWs-
BILE young gentleman, which occurred at the
residence of his brother, Rev Thos Heslin,
pastor of st. Michaers Church, Friday morning
October 9th. Deceased was q native of the
Parish of KiIloe, County Longtord, Ireland,
where he was born on the 10Th of June, 1858.
In the fall of 1872 he came to this country with
the intention Of studying for the priesthood
In pursuance Ofthis determination, ne went to
st. Aary-JefsEson College in the Parish of ST.
James, where, under the direc ion of the Marist
Fathers, he completed his classical studies in
1874 At once he was received in the Arch
diocesan Seminary in this city, and at the end
of the next twelve months be had the hsppi-
ness of receiving TOnsure. The steady pro
gress of that nsost insdious of diseases, con-
sumption, about this time made itself painfully
apparent to his friends, and he was compelled
thereafter to Suspend his stodies to very great
extent. Despite the tender care of his brother
and friends, his strength rapidly declined
until ten dsys before his death, when he was
attacked by fever which ultimately proved
fatal. Fortified by the Sacraments of the
Church and confortod by the presence of his
brother, he Surrendered his pure soul into the
hand of lis Saviour Just as the rosy hues Of
morn Frightened in the East, happy sugury
of the glorious and everlasting day of inefable
happiness into which he was about to enter.
The next morning, Saturday, in the presence
Of large congregation of sorrowing friends,
| the solemn funeral services of the Church, in
Gliding High Mass, were celebrated in st.
Aichae!s Church. The Very Rev. G. Ray
mond, EIca' Gen eral and Administrator of the
Archdiocese, dictated, attended by twenty of
the Rev. Clergy, including representatives of
the several Religious Orders. A very large
procession followed the remains to their las;
resting place in St Pstrick's Cemetery.

We are sorry to state that for grave reasons
not necessary to mention here, the proposed
excursion to Chatawa, which was to have
taken place day, has been indefinitely post
poned. The Rev. Fathers who inaugurateo
the enterprise regret this very much, but -
the causes which compelled them to give up
the idea were entirely beyond their CONTROL
they trust that all who were looking forward
to " fine time" will accept this disappolnt
ment with becoming resignation.

A good idea of the extent of the spoliAtion
of the Church and the desecration of Church
bnildiugs by the Government of Italy may be
formed from the following list of suppressed
churches in the city of FOliEuo: In le60 San
Domenico, built in 1925, closed mediately
after the change of government, formed 3
prison for the defeated Pontifcal troops, then
served ae q stable, aud is now occupied by
cavalry. In 1860, La Conoezione, built in 1870,
now serves as a carpenters shop. In 1862, San
Claudio, which excited In ll4S; to-day it is q
military stable. 10 1862, the Church Santa
Marie, erected in 1889, now the Municipal! Pic
4ars Gallery. In 1862, San Carlo, built in 1912,
now q stOrehouse for wood. In 1864, La Saints
sims Annup ziats, built in 1865, now maya
sine for the use of the troops. In lS67, San

The Lafayette Statue.
ITs MERITS AND DEFECTS.

The N. Y. Trib une says:-
The figure of Lafayette has strong
merits, and one serious defect. /
is colossal, yet does not seem to b.
greater than life; it is characters
tic and expressive, to an unusual
degree; yet it is wholly satisfacto
ry from only one point of view
Let the spectator take q position
halfway between the eastern cor
ner of Broadway and the statue
of Washington: he will find in the
face,in the right hand, ,grasping the
the sword by the blade, under the
hilt, to tho breast, in the extended,
opening left hand, an expression
of frank, magnamimous offer of
service, which leaves nothing to be
desired. But let him move west.
ward until he reaches line drawn
from the statue to the corner of
University place. Then the right
leg and foot are seen to be thrown
back so far that action becomes
conscious, and therefore theatrical; !;
the character of the figure is sud-
denly changed; the head, seem in
profile, loses it fine, ,noblesse-ohlige
expression, and the work is traus-
formed into something different
from the artists evident intention.
1t was also a mistake to repre-
sent Lafayette standing on the
PROV of boat about TO land. If
realism must be observed, the fact
is that the generous offer of his
sword and means was made before
he left France: it was accepted
and confirmed after he met Wash.
ington, and the circumstance of
his landing is of no special signi6-
cance. Moreover, the exigeneiesof
space compel the artist to repre-
sent boat which, from the lines
of its PROV, could not have been
more than six or seven feet long,
and would inevitably have swamp
ed its passenger. The two equal,
half-curled waves uoder itmight be
easlymistakenfor the unfinished vo-
lutes of an Ionic capital; and these
accessories only serve to make the
exaggerated attitude of the figure,
as seen from the southwestern side,
more prominent We regret to
make this seemingly un,hankful
because the design ofl
the statue is so excellent, and the
execution, in other respects, sol
satisfactory. Shere are fewmonu-
mental statues in the United
States which are so alive.

VERMONT HOLDS BAD FOR HAYES
Vermont d0sen't hold up well for the
Republicans. The official returns
from the entire State foot up 62;643
votes cast and the Republican majority
has been whitfield down to 23, $50,
being loss ON the majority of 1872 Of
nearly 1000. The largest vote ever
cast in previous years was in Septem-
Der, 1872, when the aggregate was 81, :
$50, or 6,954 less than the poll of Tues
day last. Such an increase, Of the
vote in State where the Republicans
are more than two to one, should have
increased the Republican majority 33
per cent. of the aggregate increase OF
the poll, or over 1000, but, instead Of
increasing. 1t is diminished nearly .2,-
600. The same persentage of Demo-
cratic gains would give Tilden every
debatable State by large majorities. 1t
is specially gratifying and should be a
wholesome admonition to orators who
forget that the people are intelligent
and mean to vote unusually intellis
gently this year, that in st. Albans,
where Mr. Wheeler made his foolish
bloodv'shirt speech, the Republican
vote fell off from 991 to TAT, while the
Democratic vote increased from 253 to
1877. At that rate it wouldn't take
many speeches from the Republican
candidate for Vice President in the
more populous centres of the country
to prevent Hayes and Wheeler from
carrying any one of the leading States.
By and by the politicians will get to
understand that this isn't the year for
winning elections by insulting the in-
telligence and mocking the distress of
the people by inflamnatory appeals to
the preiudices and hatreds of the past.
Vermont says so, and when Vermont
so speaks it's safe to expect the other
States to do likewise.
