One blunder occurred in the makeup of our
report last Sundsy of the grand demonstration
of the Doth of February in commemorAtion OF
the death of Pope Plus IN. The names of the
gentlemen composing tho Committee of Ar
ranCemeuts were published as the Reception
Comnitiee at the Cathedral aud ri, ,,rsd. the
names Of those composing the Reception Com
mittee were given a. tho Committee of Ar
raugements. The Committee Of Arrangements
the chief and most important Of sN the COM
mittees--was that with Mr.. j. Il, Lahtte a.
chairman and DR.. Thos. Layton Us secretary
the Reception Committee WAS under the dlrec.
tion of Hon. L. II. White as chairman.

The Memorial Celebration in Mobilo.

We are happy to avail ourselves of the op-
portunity offered to present our oongratuls-
tions to the Catholics of Mobile upon the suo-
cess of last Sundays pageant. From all 30.
counts the demonstration surpassed even the
fondest anticipations of the gentlemen who
labored so zealously in its organization.
The weather was beautiful, the procession
was numerously attended, and the ceremonies,
within the Cathedral, were replete with that
tender and mystic significance which endears
the Church to Her Children and elioits the
sympathetic admiration of those without Her
fold. The whole population, irrespective of
creed or nationality, united in rendering q
glowing tribute of venerStion to the memory
and the virtues Of the one whom history will
designate as Plus the Good-Pius the Great.
The entire manifestation was alike creditable
to their intellects and to their hearts. Plus TX
has descended into the grave, but his memory
will ever be fresh in the minds of men, and
posterity will say of him that his best epitaph
is to be found in the application of the classi-
cal, and, in this instance, truly prophetic quo
| tation: 81 have reared monument more en-
during than bronze, and loftier than the royal
| site of the Pyramids which neither dissOlving
| rain, nor the powerless North wind, nor years,
numberless in series, nor lapse of time can deS-
troy. 1 shall not trhOlly die, and many parts OF
| my being shall escape dissolution"

SOMETHING REMAIN KAnLE.-The London Tab.
7et of the "a of February, contains the follow
ing Roman news item:
4 PrOphecy.-Au astrologer Of the Apenniues
named Bar banera, in whom the Romans have
great faith, made lucky guess this year in his
prophetic almauAck. He says: "On January
1lth o great catafalQue will be erected in
RomeW He also SAYS: another will be re-
guired on February 10TH"
ofcourse it was only in view of the recent
death of Victor Emmanuel that the TaGla
found this q striking item. Had the editor
known of the august obSequies to occur in
Rome within one short week, he might have
begun to think that after all there may be
something in Astrology; or at least that a
closer study of the "ssArs in heaven" may teach
us things undreamed of in our past Philo
Sophy.

shrove tuesday and Ash Wednesday.

The moment of time when shrove Tuesday
and Ash Wednesday meet suggests, by the dis
position made of it, how tenaciously the heart
of man olings to the pleasures of earth and
how reluctantly it turns towards the things of
Heaven.
In ages of faith, and in Catholic Coun-
tEies, when the Laws as veil as the feel
ings of the people were inspired by religion,
the bell that tolled the close of the day of
festivities, also announced the opening of the
penitential one. As the midnight hour sound
ed on:the air, the tones of merriment died
away the dancers feet ceased their graceful
motions, the songs Of Joy were hushed, the
lights grew pale in festive halls, and there
was shown at least an exterior respect for the
tesohings of the Church which instructed the
young and edited the old.
1t was customary in Rome, before the late
usuI I2ation, to close the froliOsOme sports of
