In his memorable address ct the Bal.
ttimore congress last year Archbishop
Ireland said: Each century calls for it's
type of Christian perfection. At one
time it was martyrdom; &c another it
was the humility Of the cloister. To-day
we need the Christian gentlemen and
the Christian citizen. An honest ballot
and social decorum among Catholics
will do moro for Gods glory. and the
salvation Of souls than midnight fagel-
lations or Compostellan pllgrimages.

With the pleasures of this world,
there is always some bitterness mingled.
But the happiness Of heaven is pure and
free from evil. On earth, it IS true to-.
day, there is no rose without q thorn. no
pleasure without pain. But in the
world above, joy is without sadness,
beauty without blemish. health without
sickness, eternal lifg that knows no
death. Happy are those who have been
invited to the wedding feast Of the lamb
They shall suffer neither hunger nor
thirst, neither heat nor cold. In heaven
there will be no pain, no sadness, no
tears, no sorrow, no death. You will be
happy there, as the angels Of God. Our
Lord compares the joys of heaven to a
kingdom, the possession Of which is for
ever. Again he com pares it to a trea-
sure, whose value exceeds all riches
again to banquet, that satisfies the
guests without over, filling them.

Mrs. John Sherwood writes interest
inglY of the American girl in Europe.
In the North. American Review she says:
There is one fact which the American
girl can be sure Of: she is at present the
most talked-of creature in the world.
Never before did the women of one
nation so successfully invade all nations.
and, reversing the Sabine legend, carry
off the most able bodied warriors. The
march over England and the continent
by the American girl is triumphant
one. It is a great story of conquest.
| These lovely Amaz ons do not stop for
ocean, river, or geographical boundary.
Tt is only fit that the records OF an army
so triumphant, host so universally
we'll received, should be like those Of
Wellington IN Spain, universally res
pected. The shadow which the Amer
lean girl is just now casting ON the map
Of Europe is. generally speaking. q
robust one. IT she chooses, it can be
most attractive, and in thousand cases
it is. No women are more courted, adj
mired and praised.

We heard a good story the other day
illustrating the way in which justice
was administered By Dogberry in st.
Anthony some twenty years ago. It
! was when Geo. A. Bracket was mayor
Of Minneapolis, Mike Hoy chief of police
and the irrepressible Ed. Stevens editor
and proprietor of the Gopher Mirror.
Ed. was not particularly stuck upon the
mayor or his chief of police and took
every occasion to let the public know
it. Scarcely a day passed but he
| s'roasted" them in the Mirror. The
boys selling his paper on the streets
we're instructed to yell at the top of
their voice, ''All about Geo. A. Bracket
and Mike Hoyl' until the familiar cry
grew monotonous IN the ears of the;
early inhabitants. One day as the boys
were shouting out these words with more
than usual energy Mike Hoy encountered
Ed. on Nicollet avenue and addressed
him thus: '.Stevens,sif you don't quit
getting my name in your dirty rag and
ordering your imps to shout it all oyer
town I'll take YOU by the heels and
hammer ont your braihs on the pave
ment. Ed. made no reply but imme-
diately went to the Little justice court
and got papers issued to place Hoy
under bonds to keep the peace. The
present Judge Hicks was then a j. P.
and before him Mike was cited to appear
Having heard that Hicks had expressed
