THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF LILLE

The following particulars have been
Published as to the work done and pro-
grees made by the Catholic University of
Lille during the Fret year that has elapsed
since it's full acsdemical organization by
the establishment of a regular body OF
theological professors. The teaching part
of the university consists of five "facultiesn
or sets OF professors and tutors in theology,
in law, in literature, in science, and in
medicine. By the muhificence OF its
founders and supporters the University ia
already we'll furnished with libraries, Ia.
boratories, and scientifc apparatus; and
an admirably appointed hospital has been
established for the instruction of the med.
ical students, supplied with dispensares
and all other appliances requisite for the
purposesit it is intended to fulfil. The prs-
fessors above mentioned nam ber SO IN all;
and their scale of remuneration is pre-.
cisely similar and equal TO that which the
State university pays to the distinguished
teachers whom it employs Many OF these
teachers have enlisted their invalusbls
services in the cause of the Catholic Cni.
versity. Their zeal has proved itself
equal to their abilities: and they have
left nothing undone on their part whether
by private lectures or public instrac
to fit The students to make a crejitable
the o!ose OF the present academies
year. The rumher of students that
have continued thei7 studies aud res
idence throughout the year has been
$50. This, al things considered is o good
and encouraging state of things. There is
every reason to expect that the immense
advantages oEered by this University to
the population of Northern France, a1d
perhaps of other regions also, will be more
aud more appreciated. Boarding houses
('nass0ns de fasiHeI have been opened, in
which students can enjoy all the comforts
and advantages of q home at from 200
francs to l5G0 francs per anuum, according
to the style of living in each, while the
moral and religious interests of the young
men are watched over without that sTr-
tssnaRce 80 much objected to. by some
Catholic edacatioDists of the present day
1t ought to be added that there are estab.
lisbed in Lille various societies of char
table, literary and scientific character,
which the students are encouraged to join;
30 that nothing appears to be wanting to
enable them to practice all the Catholic
virtues ''in perfect life," while preparing
themselves to play well their part on the
worlds stage in the varioUe careers to
which they may be called.

THE CRUELTIES OF THE DEPORTA TON
SYSTEM.

The London correspondent of the Free-
neGn summarizes as follows return re-
Gently presented to Parliament regarding
the deportation of Irish poor from England
and Scotland:
The long delayed return as to the depor-
tation of poor of Irish nationality from
England and Scotland for the last three
years, which was ordered by the House in
the second week of the session, on the
motion of Mr.. Mccarthy Downing has
at last been Issued. The return as ordered
was TO specify the number of poor pereons
removed from the several unions and par
shes in Great Britain to Ireland, giving
the names, number of family, and ages,
length of residence, cause of removal, and
to what union removed. In answer to
natural inquiry the other day with regard
to the cause of delay, Mr.. Downing was
informed that it was due to the difficulty
of making up one of the returns, and even
as they now stand they are manlfestly de.
fective. In many of the unions-notably
Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Bristol, and
Whitechapel-no trouble whatever seems
to have been taken in ascertaining the
length of residence in the union or in the
country of the unfortunate Irish inmates
before they were summarily packed of to
their assumed place of birth. Wherever
the number of years spent in toll in Eng
land has been ascertained the length of
absence from Ireland is remarkable in the
years, ""aboat twelve years." about seven
teen years." are as frequent as four weeks
or four months, and twenty, thirty, and
forty years. record of residence crops up in
every page. In Wales one Dennis Murphy,
20 years of age, was deported to Skibbe-
reen, which he must have left at least
whom he was 81, az he had spent the last
4S years in the principality. From Mac
cles6eld an old man named Cannen, aged
Il years, was sent to the South Dublin
Union. although he had been 80 years in
the country I; and from Stockport Michael
OGrady aged 45, was sent back to West
port, because he was unable to maintain
himself, although he is admitted to have
re.ided in England for 81 years. A man,
whose age is unknown, was sent back 70
Dnndalk from Sunderland after Al yea:s
residence! A man named Hunt, removed
to Birr Union, lett Ireland 40 years prior to
his removal. Margaret Donnelly, W.T. o left

The London corresponden3 of tAe New
York 49sas writes:
The progress of the Austrians in Bosnia
and Herzegovina is very slow. All the
information coming from that yeeion is
confused and unreliable. The English
newspapers (the London Times especially }
said nothing about the insurrecsioD, and
did not send any correspondents out, upon
the stupid idea that it would give too
much Importance to the rebels. 1t turns
out, however, that the uprising is by no
mesDs as Insignificant as the English news
papers represented it to be.
AN talk about the dissolution of the
British Parliament seems to be over. 1t is
now argued that there is no reason why It
should be dissolved before the close of iss
natural term of e0istence-the autumn of
1880. No Parliament of this century has
had so long life. Only two Pafliaments
have lived through ak years one elected
In 1920, during Lord Liverpool's admins
trAtion the other elected in 1859, during
Lord Palmerstca's. The average life of
modern English Psrlisments is about three
years. Their legal lease of existence is
seven years. The present docile legisls-
tive assembly is FIVE years old, and has
consequently two more years to live, pro-
vided nothing happens. Mr.. Grant Duff,
however, thiDks that the chances in favor
of such long lease are Zneagre. Speaking
recently at Bath, be said that Lord BeR-
consheid had taken John Bull to Cremorne,
and that the old fellow rather liked it but
that there would be q morrow to the de-
bauch, with crapulous headache and empty
pockets.
The secret of the triumph of the theatri-
cal Prime Minister lies in the skillful man
ner in which he has appealed to the foiblel
of the British-to their pride, their vanity,
and their love of show. Mr.. Gladstone
considered craftsmanship Ns an affair OF
principles, while Lord Beaconefeld put all
principles aside, and concentrated his
attention upon the decorative branches OF
politics. He advised the British nation
five years ago, "to leave off munching the
dry bones of political economy and thu
remainder biscuit of an effete Liberalism, }"
tbe nation followed his advice, and the
Tsjority of it tries to look pleased with
the result.

for several reasons. The first and ae nna.e
important reason is, it would have ~
excellent harbor at each end of the can.l
and no obstruction at either end, Thas.

five miles of canal cut on this route ~,
then it would reclaim at least one miI;os
of acres of the best land in the State. Th;s
land, when reclaimed, would be worth ths
price of cutting the canal, and the Who'll
route would be we'll supplied with natnra,
feedere.
The diatance from New York tn No.
Orleans by this route would be much Ies,
than any other route farther South. Ths
distance by the proposed route from Nav
York to New Orleans would be from ons
thousand to twelve hundred miles less thar
9he route now sailed, which would make n
difference of from two thousand to twenty.
two hundred miles saved on the ron1d
trip, and would save yearly S5 900. .O0O in

millions every year in the way of grain and

when built, would bring in a revenue of al
least eight or ten million dollars annusllv
in ths way of tolls, especially when the
Darien Canal is completed, as it would
throw a vast amount of shipping from Cal.

Wa invite attention to the following
tabies. The mortuary reports of the yellow
fever epidemics of 1883, 1858 and 1867, as
shown by these tables, certainly indicate
that the epidemic period is comprised
within ninety days. Before the esta blish-
ment OF the epidemic aud subsequent to it's
suosidence there are always number of
sporadic cases of tho fever. But the tables
seem to show that the epidemic period ia
comprised within ninety days.
Thus in the epidemic Of 1853, the most
fearfu! that ever Visited this city, it will
be seen that of the SLY deaths that oc
CURED, l406 occurred in July 5,5l6 in
August and 1l70 in September. In the
epidemic of 1858, of the 1888 deaths, l14O
occurred in August, 1924 in September.
and 1917 in October. In 1867, of the 29J2
deaths that occurred, 233 are due to August,
1928 to September, and 1ll3 to October.
SO far in the present epidemic we are to
accredlt 80 deaths to July, from the fif.
teenth to the thirty fret OF that month
$50 deaths to the month of August and 555
