NEW ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORICAL So
CIETY IN ST. LOUIS.
st, Louis watchman .

| AT recent meeting the priests OF this doce se
| formed the resolution of establishing an Ec.
| clesiasticsl Historical Society The name
| sufficiently indicates the nature and scope Of
| the movement. The pioneers ofreli Siou in the
| West are fat passing away aud with them Il
| wealth of interesting, edifyiuR and most VAL
uable local and persnnal history. Already the
second generation Of the clergy have entered
upon the field broken, and fret titled by their
| fororuEpers in the work of church coEqnest.
The frat begin nings of liGion in the West
are surrounded by 70 much that IL heroic,
self-sacritc tcing, fascinating and even romantic
that it W ere crime not to preserve the annals.
The history of those primitive times is growing
| in interest as the link binding na with the
glorious past is on the point of breaking and
the chai n dropping into the depths OF ire
coverable oblivion. The perishable and fast
perishing materials out of which the future
historian of the American Church will con-
struct bis narrative are still In the possession
of few aged and venerable priests, and un-
less given to the keeping of the lettered page
they will go down with them into the tomb
from which no voice, no prayer, no enchant-
ment may ever again call them forth. 1t is
the world that the history Of the first plant
ing of the faith is surrounded by obsourity,
the twilight of fable blending rs shadows
with the frat lights of the Gospel dawn In
France, England, Ireland, Germany, Spain and
even Russia we have little that is reliable and
satisfactory about the fiyst preaching of Chris
tianity within their borders, and even in Italy,
Spain, aud the countries of the East the legend
furnishes nearly all we know of primitive and
apostolic times. How little do We know of
the Apostles thenselvesf OF moo than one
half of that glorious company We may say
they lived, labored and died but where they
lived, what they did aud when and where
they died We know almost nothing. Did
Thaddens preach the gospel in Egypt and
Arabia Did ST. Philip preach and die in
Armenia 7 Did st. Thomas bring the word of
life into India Did James ever land in Spainf
Did Bartholomew or Nathaniel preach in Per-

Senor Anselmo Alfara, a young poet y ho in
c!iues to the Marseiliaise style in his verses,
was, rather unfortunately, as it subsequently,
appeared, selected t. help entertain the COM
pany at TIE celebration of Mexican Independ-
ence, in the Citv Of Mexico, on the 18th of last
month. The sfftir took place at the National
Theatre. President DisZ presided, and
Minister, Mr. Foster, was officially invited and
occupied box. When Senior Aifara beg sn his
poem the diplomatic teeth were soon set upon
edge. It was q vehement appeal to the Mex
loans to resent the insults offered them upon
the Rio G-ande. 10 "hurl back tae outrage in
indignant mood, TO inf ame their souls with

ances that

Poor President Diez sat in his chnir
and wiped beads Of perspiration from his
brow. Minister Foster sat in the box and
wreathed bis off ,al brow with awful clouds of
mixed dignity nnd disapproval, while Senior
calling upon his hearers to die for their ntry,
and the audiance iu response, cried, death to
the Yankeesr' and Death to the North"
Minister Foster left in disgust. The next day
the newspapers criticised the poem severely,
and presently Mr.. Foster wrote a letter, saying
that he hadn't considered the young poets
rhodomont tade as ffoial, and WASN'T mad about
it, which assurance the Mexican Stats apart
ment said they were very glad, indeed, to
have. 50 the atfAir ended at that point, and

Notwithstanding the liberal pension which
Awaits their retirement, Judges in Great Bri-
tain are apt to continue in harness very often
far into tie eighties, deeply to the exss-
peration of those who are eager for their
shoes Sometimes this is done to secure
the patronage of the ottice to the political
party with which the Judge is in sympathy.
Thus he won't resign till his friends come into
power, sometimes to spite the Government
which won't give him the peersge to which he
aspires. Thus Lord NoIbury positively refus

soon bring in the resignation of Chief Baron
