TTIE REDEMPTORISTS.
A NEW PROVINCE

The first memb hers of the Order (three Fathers
and three Brothers) came to this country IN
June, 1882 They we're cent from Vtehna "a az
GUS States of the West, until they found tn Q
first permanent house in Rochester. AFTER tna1
the houses of Pittsburg, Baltimore, New iork,
etc, were established. At present tney nave
sixteen houses in the United States and one IN
Canada.
The original object of their mission to this
country was the conversion OF the Anolan
tribes but Divine Providence would nave 1t
otherwise. The German Catholics being very
much in need of good pastors in those Gays
the Redemptorist Fathers took charge OF sew
eral extensive parishes in the clties WneIe
their houses were established. This did not
prevent them from following mp their original
vocation, viz: the work of the Home Missions'
as soon as they were numerous enough 70 GevUUo
themselves to this noble undertaking: Having
acquired q sufficient pumber of Engllsh-sPeak-
ing members, they began to give missions 10
English congregations as early as iSSV. az
present they have from three to i've oanoe OF
missionaries constantly occupied In giving
missions in different parts of the United states.
The priests of this community are trained
especially in the difficult art OF giving mis-
Sions: After their ordination they spend six
mouths in what is termed the second noVitiate,
during which time they prepare themselves
for all the exercises of missions and Fetreacs: !:
The houses existing in this country were at
first united to the Belgian Provinces Oh the
Order. In 194e, however, they were iorlne9
into Province for themselves, and on Ine yGn q
of last November this Province was divided
into two parts. The old Province remains,
with its seat at Baltimore. The new ProViTee INC

ABSURD SOCIAL DIsTINcTIoNs.-Ihe
Chicago Tribune gives striking example
of the tendency of American, OF least
Chicago, society to make absurd discrim-
nations on mere money basis. The sale
of seats in Professor Swings church in
that city took place a few days since.
The Tribune says: The scale of prices
includes seats at $50 year, Sl2, 80 and So.
In point of comfort, the seats at $50, > IL
and SO are precisely alike, and, IN point
of location and desirability, there is little
difference between them. In view or the
fact that the complaint of hard times ID
universal, and that every body dwells upon
the necessity of retreDchlnS in personal
| expenses, it would bO natural to suppose
that the lower priced places with equal
advantages would be taken at first. AS
matter of fact, the sale was justine other
way. All the $40 eeats were taken be-
fore the $l2 seats, and the Sl2 seats be
fore the So seats, while there was scarcely
any demand for SIS seats. We do not
know of more striking instance of the
absurd American aristocrary based upon
money distinctions. There were unqaes-
tionably those who retained $2O seats
merely on account of the foolish pride
which suggests to every American citizen
that he must pay as much money for what
he uses as every other American citizen,
and that he Is disgraced in some myster-
ious manner if he is deprived of this
glorious privilege. There we're undoubt-
edly those who paid $50 in the full con
seriousness that the &s seats were equally
desirable, and that their finances scarcely
warranted the unnecessary expenditure OF
the difference"

RAIN ONCE IN FIVE YEARs.-The tract
of country known as the State Range
Valley is probably one of the most curious
that Southern California can boast of 1t
is there the immense deposits of borax
were discovered something like year
ago: and at the time the whole lower or
central part of that basin was covered
with a white deposit, breaking away IN
some places in large soda reefs, in others
resembling the waves of the ocean. and
in still others stretching out for miles in
one unbroken level, from which the sun
reflected it's rays with a glare almost IN
endurable. But one of the most singular
features in connection with this district
was the absence of rain or moisture. The
days were very sunny and hot, and the
nights wefe without dew, and generally
warm. For more tLan five years, 1t 10
aaid by those who claim to know, there
has been no rain there, until some three
months back the spell was broken. Sud
denly, and with scare any warning, rain
commenced to fall, and increasingly, un-
accompanied by wind, but thorough,
drenchiug rain. For two or three days it
remained pleasant, when suddenly water
spout was seen vending its way through
the valley. The ravines and gorgee
were soon filled with water, which poured
from them in fearful volume, and spread
itself out on the bottom. In a short
time it was over, aud deDizens of the place
now look for another dry season OF hVe
years.

SPAN.
IN. Y. HORAlA.l

There are facts in the oficial report Of
the awards made at Vienna to different ma
tions for excellence in agriculture which
are calculated to arrest the attention OF
those who associate the Spanish peasant
with an ignorant worker in exhausted
fields, untaught in the use of modern
machinery, unrestricted in the applica-
ton of steam TO the cultivation of the soil,
trudgiug stupidly behind plsngh made
after the pattern of the primitive agricul
ture of Rome.
1t will be remembered that the year of
the Vienna Exhibition was one of the
darkest aud most distressing in the annals
of the unrelentng civil strife in Spain
There was insurrection in far OH Cuba
the Carlsts occupied the best portions OF
Northern and Northeastern Spain; Com
| munism and Cantopalism in Malaga, Car
tagena and Cadiz kept the then republi
can government at bay, and the capital mad
| little communication with the outside
world, excepting by the short strip OF the
| Mediterranean from Caste!lon to Alicante.
One wonders how, out of such trial of war,
she sent to Vienna either exhibits or ex-
hibitors of peace. Indeed, her exhibitors
in some departments were 30 few IN the
number actually present IN Vienna that
she was not, under the rules, entitled to
a iuryman, and this may at least be taken
as evidence that there was not intrigue,
or undue influence in her behalf. Aud
vet out of this blood and fire. in the Pen
insula 800 exhibitors attested by their
exhibits the vitality of the Spanish race
under long years of most calamltous sd-
versity, of which l JAG were rewarded by
prizes, and of these were of the highest
grade, Il3 were medals for progress, 36s
were medals for merit, p were medals FOL
, fine arts, 4 for good taste, 43 for CO. opera

4 DEARTH OF ELEPHANTS.

The Pail Mall Gazette has the following
PekiDg has lately seen sight it has not wit
messed for some time. Since death carried of
the last elephant in the imperial stables, some
seven or eight years ago, the stalls, where since
the days of Kublai Khan troops of elephants
have been wont to flourish their trunks, have
been desolate. Thus have the imperial pro-
cessions been shorn of one of their most i'm.
posing features. No more has the elephant
carriage, in which the Board cf Rites delights
to see the Emperor seated, been waiting at
the 'Chien gate of the palace to carry his
Imperial Maj esty to the altar Of heaven, there
to offer SACRIFICES to the Supreme Ruler Of the
Universe; but instead thereof the mere COM
monplace sedan chair, borne, it is true, by
at his command. To this degradation he will,
however, be no longer subjected. The new
and intimate friendship which has sprung up
between the courts Of Peking and Mandalay
has been knit closer than ever by present
from the Sun-descended King of Righteous
ness to his royal friend, the Lord Of the
Golden Palace, of seven elephants. which
after toilsome march of many weeks and
months, have at last found rest in the impe-
rial stables. According TO the diary kept by
the Burmese ambassadors who were sent to
Peking in 1884, the journey from Ava to the
Chinese capital occupied them about eight
months. and it is probable, therefore, that
these elephants, have arrived in the train Of
the ENJOYS to whose intrigues the ill-feeling
on the part Of the Chinese towards Col
Browns expedition. which found vent in the
murder Of Mr.. Aargary, has been by some
attributed"

Now he relgns supreme; the contempt he

RAIN ON The ROOF

Soft falls through the gathering twilight,
The rain from the dipping caves,
And stirs, with tremul0us rustic,
The dead and the dying leaves,
While afsr, in the midst Of the shadows,
hear the sweet voices OF bells,
Come borne on the wind Of the autumn,
That ftfully rises and swells.
They call and they answer each other,
And answer and mingle again,
Az the deep and the shrill in IN anthem
Make harmony still IN their strain:
As the voices Of ssntinels mingle
In mountainous regions OF snow,
Till from each hilltop . chorus
Floats down to the valleys below.
The shadows, the freight Of even,
The sound OF the rains distant chime.
Come bringing, with rain softly dropping,
Sweet thoughts Of shsdowy time;
The slumberous sense Of seclusiOn,
From storm and intruders aloof,
We feel when we hear in the midnight
The patter OF rain on the roof.
