rious Heritage.
Heaven can bequeath q no more glo.
iious heritage to young man than q
vocation to the priesthood. To labor
with Jesus Christ and His apostles In
regen Grating the world and spreading
the Redeemer's kingdom on earth Is
surely the most sublime of alt callings.
It is the exalted dignity to which he
aspires and the consequent happiness
which will reward his toll tina. sweeteu
the long years of seminary training
and make the day of his ordination
day of glory to the young levite, his
family and his friends.
But lofty and inspiring as Is tho
priesthood at all times and in all lands,
it is especially SO in an age like this and
in land like ours. In these closing
days of the nineteenth century the bat
tie against Gods revealed truth is
being fercely waged, while the favored
land in which we live is yet largely ig-
norant of the Church and her salutary
mission She has been grossly misrep-
resented to the minds and hearts of the
vast majority of our people. They have
been taught to regard the Church as the
mother Of superstition, the foe of lib
erty and emil 5htenment, who would
quench the noblest aspirations OF hu-
manity and impede thepath of progress
and all popular advance Yes, who
would, if she could, destroy the free
institutions of this country and estab-
Nsh upon their ruins the dungeon and
fagot of the inquisition.
This is how the American people
have been largely taught to regard the
Church, her bishops, her priests, her
religious orders and her various insti-
tutlons. And when We consider that
these ideas have been instilled into the
popular heart in the nursery, in the
schoolroom, in the lecture hall, in the
pulpit, in the books and magazines the
people read, and in the social atmos-
phere they breathe. how can we blame
them for their prejudies and the sus-
picion with which they view every.
thing connected with the Catholic
Church @-3
The great need, therefore, of this age
and country is q plentiful supply %
intellectual earnest, devoted priests,
thoroughly American in their love Of
liberty, progress and advancement;
who will defend religion against the
agnosticism and infdelity Of the day:
and show the American people what
the Catholic Church really is--not the
enemy, but the friend and protector Of
this republic and Its free institutions.

CHAPTER XVII.

AN REIMBURSEMENT.
A few days after the events described
in the last chapter, Montreal was much
excited by tho news brought in by a cour-
Ter to the effect that General Montcalm
had taken Fort Oswego, and was prepar-
ing to drive the English back to the sea-
board, if not into the Atlantic ocean
itself, SO highly are events exaggerated,
especially in time of war; and while
the men gathered in the streets and
wine-shops to discuss the news and
drink to the success of la belle France
and her heroic general, many woman's
cheeks grew pale and her eyes moist
with tears for some absent soldier
whose life was more precious to her
than the glory which he courted or won
upon the field of conquest.
Nine. Chevreul, proud as she was of
her ancestry, whose names adorned the
roll of French chivalry, felt quite as
acutely as the humblest soldiers wife
the pang Of doubt about her husbands
fate which followed the first thrill Of
national triumph. This feeling was
dominant as she sat on the veranda Of
Mrs. Vernon's house, listening to that
lady's gentle words of hope. For her
tho battle of life was fought; she had
buried her dead, and her wounded heart
now only bled at the story of another's
woe. For her, glory awoke no enthusi-
asm, defeat no humiliation. The vic
tins of war shared her sympathy and
her gentle offices, whether they follow
ed the red banner of England or the
lilies of France, and she was now striv-
Ing to pour the balm of hope into the
heart of her friend.
The stars were looking down on the
broad river and the restless town with
t}aat divine serenity which, like Chris
tian faith, shines all the brighter for
the surrounding darkness.
This was Mrs. Vernon's theme, OF
which she never wearied, and so sweet
sad earnest were the words which
flowed from the fountain of conviction
In her soul that she seldom failed to
pour the oil of hope and consolation on
tho heart of her listener.
Nine. Chevreul dried her tears. 81

that the Indians were preparing feast
of the provisions of the murdered

Marden resolved to depart at once. The

his place, and the dangerous journey

TEXAS PROGRESS.

Il Is a settled fact that Canyon City,
Randall county, is to have splendid
hotel building. Work on the new build
| ing will be commenced soon.
The Tyler car and lumber company is
erecting more buildings and charging its
plant in order to keep up with its BUSH
ness.
Work on the courthouse at Conroes,
Pamela county, is progressing as rapidly
as circumstances will permit. The work
on the Jail will be begun in a week or
two and both buildings carried to as
early completion as possible.
Grandview is to have q national bank
and lumber yard with plenty of lum-
| Der.
Commerce has at last closed the con-
tract with the Cotton Belt to build q
roundhouse and repair shops there. The
bonus asked by the company has been
made good, and the work will soon be-
gin. Lumber ia now being put on the
grounds to build large and commodious
depot, the cost of which will be $4,000,
The Cotton Belt could have built their
shops at other places, but Commerce has
secured them through the untiring efforts
of enterprising business men. The COM
pany will employ about fifty men atthat
point.
GRAHAM, Aug. 27.-The board of di-
reetors of the First national bank met
last week and determined to build
splendid brick banking house so as to
move into some time next November.
The woodwork OF the building and all of
the furniture will be black walnut. Two
other brick buildings adjacent to the
national bank are under contract, and
there is demand for mechanics at Ora
ham.
NAcoGDoCHEs, Aug. 27.-The First
national bank has purchased one OF the
new brick buildings just completed on
the west side of the square, and Will open
business about the 10th prox. Their
new building near the courthouse will
not DO completed before January L. An
other very large stock OF goods is being
added TO our business, Sutphen, Scale

TEXAS IMMIGRATION.

Randall county is receiving just now q
heavy tide of immigration for this time of
the year. The majority are there with
the intention of>staying aud are locating
while others are simply making invest
ments. The counties. below Randall on
the Fort Worth and Denver are not now
monopolizing the visitors, and the ar
rivals at Canyon City indicate that Ran
DALI day has come.
Prospectors continue to come to Greer
and but few of them return without IN
vestIng in real estate.
Baylor county is being visited by a
large number of home seekers, and while
many pass on up into the Panhandle,
those who stay are not few. Indications
are that the fall immigration will be
heavy.
DURHAM, Aug. 27.--The people are
coming many and fast to this county
School sections are being filed on daily
and the surveyors are kept busy locating
the home seekers. Durham, the pros
pective county site of Borden county
was laid off six weeks since. New houses
are going up as fast as the material can
be hauled from the railroad. We now
have q hotel, blacksmith shop, two
stores and school house under way of
construction. A newspaper will be
started very soon. The first rel igious
services in the new town were held last
Sunday.
SALADo, Aug. 2S.-Newcomers are to
be seen on the streets daily looking for
homes. There Is not enough mechanics
here TO supply the demand of the i'm
provement. All things considered, our
town is on boom.

A Turbulent Year.

Eight months of the present year have
about passed by and there have been blu.
few weeks since January l that have no
been characterized by rate war of some
kind. There have been more amuse-
meuts of this kind IN 1890 than during
any year IN the history of railroads-and
nobody is any the better off from them.
Stockholders IN the roads have stood by
and seen the fun go on without realizing
that they were putting up the cash for
the music while the men who were rep
resenting their interests were dancing
every set. The public, too, has watched
the ball without being able to understand
what money there was in hauling freight
and passengers at q rate 90 per cent.
below what it cost the roads.

The indians complained that the whites
were trespassing on their timber lands,
and the Indian commissioners ordered
the work stopped at once. The company
objected and kept at work. The inte-
rior department rendered an imperative
decision against the company, saying
that the work could not lawfully pro-
coed. Secretary Noble has instructed
the Indian commissioner to enforce the
law to the letter. Unless the company
quits work voluntarily the government
will stop it, and the corps will be sent

AS predicted by THE GAZETTE several

that the advance does not reach the fig

This is one of the few railroad rate wars
