p IN IRISH PRIEST 1oo YEARS OLD
Richmond Visitor.

1t may not be generally known that we
have living in this country an Irish CathO-
lie priest whose history, we will venture
to cay, will be more interesting than that OF
any man now living. The man we allude to
is Rev. Father Brophy, an inmate of the
hospital of the Sisters of Providence in
Davenport, Iowa, who is now one hundred
and six years old. He was born in Ireland,
and while yet a youth he emigrsted to
education. He was pastor in and near
Paris for about thirty years, during which
period he witnessed many interesting
scenes. He saw the attempt of assaesins-
ting Louis PHILIPPE by the firing of bomb
she'll while he was walking on the Boule-
vards He saw the remains of Napoleon
after they were brought back to Paris from
St. Helena. He was intimately acquainted
with Gen. Lafay cite, and was his father
confessor. He came to this country and
was chosen pastor of st. Paul's Cathedral,
New York. During this period he formed
the acquaintance of the Protestant minis-
ter Bailey, whom he converted, and who
afterwards became one of the most brilliant
was no other than the late Archbishop
Bailey, of Baltimore.
Father Brophy was . relative of Mrs.
Surratt, and frequently he pleaded in her
behalf to ex-President johnson. He is
emphatic in proclaiming Mrs. Surrstt's
innocence of the crime for which che, as be
claims, was uDjustly and unlawfully hanged
that of being implicated in the assassin
alton of President Lincoln. All these facts
in the life of Father Brophy are related by
himself and undoubtedly are true. We are
ferreting out a more complete account of
the life of this extraordinary man.

Ben Buffers Remedy for Hard Times and Indian
Raids


Last week, the army bill being up for
discussion in the House of Representatives,
Gen. Butler took occasion to read a care
fully written speech from which we take
this extract:
II s claimed that We must have a large
standing army to repress the possible out
break of laboring men-to put them down
with the bullet and bayonet, the machine
strike, and bad men should band together
to take advantage of their necessities to
insugurate violence and wrong. Remove
the cause and then you will not need an
army. The only suggested need of an army
will cease, except on the Western frontier.
Instead of supporting four hundred men,
at an expense of nearly million year, on
the frontier as a regiment, support four
hundred families, with strong stalwart
workipgmen at their heads, in place of that
regiment, and give them arms and they
will protect themselves from your Josephs,
your Sitting Bulls, or your Indians, wher-
ever they may be found. Settle them
together in communities of four hundred
families each, and they will be your army
not of consumers, but an army of produ-
GERS of large numbers, each settlement
stronger than q regiment. Exercise the
power the Constitution has given you and
make them United States militia for your
not fight they will produce, and not eat the
production of Others. Send out selected
head Of a family, willing to work, with his
wife and children, and give him forty acres
of land and only what your soldiers cost
you in transportation, clothing, forage, pay
and quarters, and you will have q producer
at home to defend himself as our fathers
did in New England, as our fathers did in
New York, without the aid of any regular
army. Expend the forty million dollars
which your army, annually costs you in
putting settlers on the lands of the frontier
with their families, who, in few years will
Ree-ea4y be q -self-suppeFtiHg bat a self
recruiting army, which shall add to and
not decrease your wealth. Then it will be
time to talk about disbanding your regular
army, cutting it do Own to a few soldiers to
keep the guns and carriages in the several
forts painted and only educate your Off
GERS and let them turn their forts to civil
life until, by the pussible contingency of q
foreign war, they may be called into action
at the head of volunteer eoldiegs on whom
you must at last depend. Depend in the
several States upon a we'll regulated United
States militia which the Constitution pre-
supposes and do not let my ear be paiued
again by hearing it said that militia will
not fight, or will eympathize with mob of
rioters. When that hour comes your reg
ular soldiers cannot be depended upon any
more than militia, and the whole history
of the armies of the world tells you that
the regulars fraternize with thepeople when
the cause of the mob becomes the cause of
the people, and the action of the. mob is
revolution against their oppressors who
take away their liberties and their righte.

ST. NORBERT, BISHOP.

| ST. NORBERT, BISHOP.
Ofnoble rank and rare talentss Norbert
passed q most pious youth, and entered
the ecclesiastical state. By q strange con
tradictioD, his conduct now became q scan
dal to his sacred calling, and at the court
of the emperor Henry W., he led, like
many clerics of that age, q life of dissipa-
| thirty years of age, he was thrown half
| dead from his horse, and on recovering his
senses resolved upon q new life. After q
| severe aud searching penance he was or
dained priest, and began to expose the
abuses of his order. Silenced at first by q
local Council, he obtained the Pope's
sanction and preached penaDce to listening
crowds in France and tho Netherlands. In
the wild vale of Premontre he gave to-
some trained disciples the rule of ST. Aus
tin, and a white habit to denote the an
gelic purity proper to the priesthood. The
canons regular or Premonstratensianss as
they were called, were to unite the active
work of the country clergy with the obli-
cations of the monastic life. Their fervor
renewed the spirit Of the priesthood,
quickened the faith of the people, and
drove out hereay. In 1926 Norbert found
himself appointed Bishop of Msgdeburg
and there, at the risk of his life, he zeal.
ously carried on his work of reform, and
died, worn out with toll, at the age of
fifty three.
A vile hereto, named Tankelin, appear
ed at Antwerp in the time of St Norbert
and denied the reality of the priesthood,
and especially blasphemed the Holy Eu
out the pest. By his burning words he
exposed the impostor, and rekindled the
faith in the Blessed Sacrament. Many of
the apostates bad proved their contempt
for the Blessed Sacrament by burying it in
filthy places. Norbert bade them search
g., -
entire and uninjured, and the Saint bore
them back in triumph to the Tabernacle.
Hence he is generally painted with the
N onstrance in his hand.

ST. TARBULA, VIRGIN, MARTYR.


About the year 345, Sapor, Emperor Of
Persia, began to persecute the Church
Symeon, Bishop of Selucia, the chief See
in the Persian empire, was among the
first of the many victims. Just after his
death the empress fell i'll ; and Tarbuls,
sister of the martyred bishop, was accused
of causing the malady of the empress by
poison. Tarbula was virgin of great
beauty, consecrated to God in the religious
state. When told of the charge against
her, she replied that she followed the
Christian law, which forbade murder.
eyes," said Mareptas, chief Of the Magi,
"but you wanted to revenge your brothers
DEATH" "My brother" said Tarbula, "lives
and reioices in the kingdom of heaven he
has suffered no ill.," On this, the examina-
tioDE Eended for the day, and she was led
away to prison.
Next morning, Mareptas sent secret
message to Tarbula. He. promised to se-
cure her life if che would consent to marry
him. AT fret ehe was struck dumb with
horror and then, recovering herself, ad-
dressed the messenger in terms of holy
indignation. She showed the same firm
ness when the emperor invited her to save
her life by adoring the sun. Thereupon
the sentence of death was passed against
her ; she was taken beyond the gates of the
city her Innocent body was cut in two, and
she passed away from the dangers of the
world to the paradise of her Spouse.
SG. Iaroula was ready to give her own
blood. She spoke calmly even to his mur-
derers of her brothers death; but the
Saints themselves are passionate and severe
with anything which wounds the angelic
virtue of chastity. "Close that mouth of
thine" she eaid to the messenger of Marep-
tas, "close that mouth of thine, impure dog
that thou art 60 not utter those words to
me, for will none of them have been
espoused to Christ the Lord, and remain
virgin for love of Him." When she was
about to die, Mareptas in person renewed
his entreaties, and met with o like repulee.
''Never," said the Saint, "will give way
and go to death eternal, for the sake of
living little longer here. This horror of
impurity is common to all the Saints. They
who were gentle to all others have driven
the tempter from them with disgust, and
even with violence.
