Lend your copy of this issue of the STAR,
containing the initial chapters of the beautiful
irish story, Castle DAILY, to those of your
neiRhbors who have made it practice to
borrow the paper of you. Next week you can
mildly suggest to them that they might, with
perfect propriety, buy q copy, now and then,
or subscribe for the paper regularly. This
would be far moro enterprising than their
present course, more convenient to you, and
more encouraging to the little news-boysr
carriers and dealers who make their living by
ceiling papers.

The readers of McGees Weekly will be pleased
to learn that it's editorial management has
been placed in charge Of the well-knoWn
scholar, author and poet, Maurice F. Egan,
ESQ, whose name has been long familiar to
to the subscribers Of the due Maria, the Catholic
Record the Catholic Standard, and other leading
periodicals of America.
Inspired by his discriminating taste and en-
bellished by his artistic fancies, the Weekly will
contain within its pages nothing but what is
instructive and elevating, while the element
Of humor, sparkling and pure, will, we are sure,
never bs lacking.
We indulge the hope also that the very get
up" of the paper, under Mr.. Egan's supervision,
will be so carefully watched over as to preclude
the possible recurrence of such q pictorial
juxtapostion as occurs on pages 324 and 1853
current volume.

and faultlessly its noble mission of supplying

all. This is what the Ueekly has already done,
with an earnestness that challenges our admi.

continue with unabated zeal and scholarship.
We have already said that every Catholic

The Two BIS.

As between Butler and Bismarck, it
would be difficult to tell which is which.
Can an ybody say on what side Bismarck is
on the question Of peace now agitating
Europe7 Does he desire war, OF does he
penetrabii,y has descended upon the man.
At least it is 30 claimed by the admirers Of
the great P1ussian Sphynx, but America
sets up most formidable rival to the sue
cession in the person of another great B,
viz, Butler.
Is Butler Republican or a Democrat
Probably no man living can answer that
question confidently, except Benny him
self, if even he. 1t is something like the
conundrum which puzzles and must forever
puzzle history Was Butler q Confederate
or Federal during the civil war;
Next to Lee and Jackson, there are few
men who can claim to have done more for
the Confederacy than this same American
Talleyrand or Massachusetts, Bismarck.
There ia no parallel to be instituted be-
tween him and Banks. Banks.wa only
passive ally. He got in the way unwitting-
lv anu supplied our armies unintentionally.
1nt not so with Bully Ben. When the
Confederates got any supplies out of him
there was nothing accidental about 1t. The
things started with that destination in view,
and were ably protected in the transit.
Whenever our forces were short of quiniue OF
powder shoes or bacon, they knew just how
and where to get It 80 long as Benjamin sat
upon the frontier. AS to whiskey and coffee,
it was different. They were contraband, and
very, very hard to get. Old Ben knew that
the Confederates had no real use for such
Injuries, and that money wastedton them
would simply be so mnch lost to the pro-
Ion cation of the war.
| 1t was true all the time that Gen. B. F.
Butler was wearing the Federal uniform,
but the Confederacy could not be too fas-
tdious on points of etiquette when i'm
portant services were at stake. Finally
our man carried the game little too far,
however, and got his whole command
"bottled up" for expectation through the
Confederate lines. Thereupon he was kept
pnder surveillance and theuceforth the
Confederate cause languished. So the
question was never definitely settled al
to which side he really preferred.
Since that date Mr.. Butler has worked
: his way into Congress, and there he is as diff
fcult to place as ever. One day he make

And Ills Own Received Him Not.

As il was then, so It is now. He was In
the world, and the world which he made
knew Him not. He came into his own
creation and his own creatures received
Him not. If We want to see whether
human nature has improved much we have
but to observe the events of Holy Week.
We speak not of the exceptions but OF the
rule. Business will feel no check, gaiety
will be as frivolous as ever, self indulgence
and luxury will be none the less
riotous. Though q certain thin veil OF
assumed restraint may be worns out OF
regard for appearances, the great world at
ts heart will be the same as during auy
other week. There will be no sign OF
recognition, no sympathy, no gratitude.
Human nature 10 in o state of as absolute
rebellion o.day as when Eve ate the for
bidden fruit, save where grace has made its
hard won coHquests.
One would suppose that mere human ma
ture, favored by the light of history, would
adopt Holy Week as its grandest and most
exacting anniversary. If the birth day OF
reigning monarch, of q national hero, OF an
intellectual prodigy, is 80 faithfully honor
ed, why should not the natural sense Of fit
ness prompt at least as genuine a tribute to
one to whom Christendom owes its very
civilization
Let us forget the blood strewn road OF
calvary let US pass by the agony of love
fer each human being which broke that
great heart, even before the physical
agony would have severed the cords of life;
let us remember only the heaven born
philosopher who taught the new doctrine
"Love one another" See the fruits of that
teaching. The slave is free, the poor
are rescued from impending slavery, wo-
man is delivered from her bond of weak
ness and made the peer of man, the orphan
and the aged are not left to perish, the
sick, the intirm, the helpless of every class
find protection and comfort and safety.
They owe it all to that great new doctrine,
Glove one another"
All these classes comprise ninety-nine
hundredths of the world. Do they all re-
coguise their deliverer : Do they all set
apart an anniversary season for honoring
the memory of the great philosopher II
they are willing to do this, how solemn
would be the ceremonies of Holy Week.
How scrupulously would levity and excess
of every kind be laid aside even by those
who give no thought to the next life
But the world will not do this; not be-
cause it forgets it's benefactor, but because
1t hates him. He has indeed stricken OH
its chains, but he has told it to ain no more;
the blessing is forgotten in the rebellion
against the Injunction. No, no! Human
nature will never be grateful to Jesus
Christ. There ls an irrepressible war be-
tween it's perversity and His justice.
Still, there is Grace. 1t ia living power
and it will this week fll the churches with
truo sympathisers, with humble imitators
with faithful -disciples.- May they be
strong enough in their numbers and fervor
to call down upon the whole community 9
divine blessing, and avert the chastisement
which is 30 truly merited by our community
, in its disregard of Sundays duties.
