development it is as far from redemption to-

be that our life is bubble cast up by the
ocean OF eternity to float moment upon its

why these high and glorious aspirations

us with beauty that is not of earth, and then

Why is it that stars which hold their festival
around the midnight throne are set above
the grasp of our limited faculties, forever
hooking us with their unapproachable glory:
And finally, why is it that the bright forms OF
human beauty are presented to our view and
taken from us, leaving the thousand streams
of our affections to flow back in Alpine tor.

In another place the GLOBE notices the dis
graceful fact that ruffians fill our college halls
under the false guise of students A con.
temporary summaries recent events as fol-
lows: at is only three weeks since a large
body of Princeton students were indicted and
pleaded guilty for riotous behavior in the
streets of Trenton. Cornell has just had to
suspend large body of students for kidnap-
ping freshmen. At Lafayette college, Penn,
some of the undergraduates have jus.
been arrested and fined for riotous conduct
and resisting the police in a public hail. AT
Williston seminary, Mass, the two upper
classes have mutinled because the faculty re-
fused to reinstate three students who were
suspended for hazing. Six of the rlngleadcrs
have been expelled. Last night there was a
riot in the streets of New Haven, caused by o
fight between two bodies of students, and had
to be suppressed by the police. This arose
out of an attempt of the sOphomores to pre-
vent the freshmen from carrying canes. In
fact, the origin of all these rows is something
silly and childish, showing either that the
young men are not fit to leave home and be
released from parental authority, or that the
college rule is of kind to maintain the child.

NEW YORK Catholic Review, Feb. 25: A
special Roman cablegram to the Catholic Re-
vieaO, dated February 10th, and received in
New York last Thursday, informs us that the
Holy See has addressed singular weighty
letter to the bishops of Italy on the present
perilous situation of the church. and, particu-
larly of its head. Though addressed specially
to the bishops of Italy, it's lessons are appli-
cable in many instances to the similar condi-
ton ofaffairs throughout the world. AS the
Episcopate is one, as indeed the church every
where has common interests, common duties,
and common enlmies, the suggestions to the
bishops of Italy may be pondered by the faith
full throughout the world. The holy father
calls attention to the secret work of the emf
mics of the church, aiming to destroy all re-
ligion. He denounces the error that the
Papacy is the enemy of nations, while, on the
contrary, its influence has always been on the
side of order. He conjures the bishops to
see the danger of the hour, and to provide the
remedies that the church SO we'll knows how
to plan and develop. He asks them to arouse
the Catholic laity. to maintain the necessary
independence of the Pontifical See. He erhorts
them to organize the Catholic press at any
cost, and to educate the clergy to the height
Of the present emergency.
BARBAR1sM instead of the refinement of
civilization, seems TO abound in our American
universities and higher schools of learning.
Fiendish brutes and desperadoes seem to have
usurped the academic shades. Have the facul-
ty and the trustees of these institutions no
manhood, no bravery, no power to quell these
outrages? Are they SO anxious for
numbers that they are unwilling to thin out
their student ranks by casting out the i'm
moral, the criminal, the fendish brutes that
disgrace humanity? If not, the sooner their
buildings are RACED to the ground, and the
ground sown with salt, the better. An out
ragged sense of decency and propriety will not
be tolerated by the public much longer with
forbearance. The base, coarse rowdies that
disgrace college halls should be put behind
prison bars with other criminals. The Spring
field Mass Republican has the following ac-
count of the brutal, fendish conduct of the
Williston students, conduct sustained and ap-
plauded by the upper classes. "Six students
went into Connecticut mans room the other
night to haze him, when he, being quite mus
cular, put them out. His lamp was smashed
in the encounter. He then went to the facul-
ty and exposed his assailants, three of whom
were temporarily disgraced. In revenge for
this five masked students broke into the Con-
necticut mans room, Monday night, bound
and gagged him, forced him to dress, put him
in sleigh, and drove him mile beyond
Northampton, where they left him, with his
arms pinioned, TO make his way back as best
he could No Temporary disgrace" is
adequate. The faculty and trustees should
absolutely expel these savages, and all who
sympathize with and countenance their base
criminality. In no other way can thse educa-
tional institutes be made respectable or useful.
It is high time to Bestow inexpresslble, ire
