SURRENDER OF CORNwALLIs.

It was customary in many of the in- land towns of New England, some thirty years ago, to celebrate the anniversary of the surrender of Lord Cornwallis by sham representation of that important event in the history of the Revolutionary War. A town meeting would be called, at which company of men would bo de- tailed as British, and a company as Americans-two leading citizens being selected to represent Washington and Cornwallis in the mimic surrender.
 The pleasant little town of W, in whose schools the writer has been re- peatedly corrected" upon whose ponds he has often skated, upon whose richest orchards he has, with other juvenile bandits, many times dashed in the silent midnight-the town of W, where it was popularly believed these bandits would ''come to bad end," resolved to celebrate the surrender. Rival towns had celebrated, and W determined to eclipse them in the most signal man her. It is my privilege to tell how W succeeded in this determination.
 The great day came.
 People poured into the village from all over the county. Never had W experienced such a jam. Never had there been such an onslaught upon gin- gerbread carts. Never had New Eng land rum (for this was before Neal Dow's day) flowed so freely. And W-'s fair daughters, who mounted the housetops to see the surrender, had never looked fairer. The old folks came, too, and among them were several war scared heroes who had fought gallantly at Mon- mouth and Yorktown. These brave sons of '76 took no part in the demon stration, but an honored bench was set apart for their exclusive use on the pi- azza of Sile Smiths store.
 At precisely 9 o'clock, by the school masters new "Lepeen" watch, the Amer ican and British forces marched on ts the village green and placed themselves in battle array, reminding the spectator of the time when

An Interesting Dip Into the
History Of This Ecclesi-
aStical Event.
Father Galtier, Its Founder
Tells the Simple Story
Himself.

Sunday, Nov. l, 1891, will be memoir
able day in the history of the Catholic
church in the Northwest. 1t is the fif
tieth anniversary of the dedication of
the first chapel upon the territory now
covered by the city of st. Paul. 1t is
likewise the anniversary of the naming
of our city. The little chapel blessed
by the first missionary of the North
west, Rev. Lucian Galtier, was placed
under the patronage of the apostle
of the Gentiles, and in his dedicatory
sermon Father Galtier gave the name,
st. Paul, to the village which was then
springing up on the bank of the Missis-
sippi, and which was destined one day
to be the metropolis of the great
state of Minnesota and the cathe-
dral city of the archdiocese of st. Paul.
The little chapel of Father Galtier stood
on Bench, or what is now called Second,
street, between Cedar and Minnesota
Catholic block. The ground ceded as
a church site was government land,
Messrs. Gervais and Guerin having
thereon a squatter's claim.
Later on it was purchased by Father
Rav0uX, when the land Oh the east bank

hour later the priest was ready and on

A DECIDED INNOVATION.

Imagine the not unmasical clatter of
eleven typewriters going full tilt. with
varying movement so like telegraphy
that one can almost read messages; a
large, sunny room and eleven serious
faced boys and girls figuring the keys
of those eleven little machines, under
the supervision of two teachers. That
is the scene that meet ones eve at the
manual training school all day and for
two hours at night, for typewriting is
now included in the high school curric-
ulum
Every boy or girl who feels desire to
become an operator practices on the
typewriter one "period'' day, the
study of the machine being counted as
regular study. The typewriters, the
latest improved Remington No. 2, are
all from the st. Paul office of Wyckoff,
Seamans IL Benedict, and are cons;d-
cred by the teachers the best in the
market. Each pupil is required to clean.

the machine. After the pupils have

teacher.

has better touch, and delicacy and

Mrs. Shepfer and her assistant, Miss
Phelan, are arranging their system for
publication. and in it will be set forth
4 great deal of useful information, on
paragra phing, punctuation, capitaliza-
ton and that bug-bearot stenographerS
spelling. All these things are care
fully drilled into The pupils at the man
ual training school, and particularly is
the proper way of dividing words into
syllableS impressed upon them.
1t can not be doubted that typewrit-
ing, as taught in the school, is very
popular study. Indeed, it has been
found impossible to accommodate all
who wish to take up the study. The
day classes aggregate Sc. and there are
liz in the night school who are study
ing the machine. The majority of the
pupils are girls-about two-thirds of
them-and all are making good prog
ress. So great is the success of the in
novation that it will doubtless be only
short while till every school in the
country has its Remington typewriter
room as well as its physical laboratory
or drawing room.

Gently entrusted to his spiritual care.
The youthful Galtier pledged his serv
ices to the bishop. Bishop Loras
returned to America, landing in New
York in the autumn of 1888, accom-
panied by two priests, Rev. Joseph
Cretin afterwards the first bishop of st.
Paul. and Rev. f. Pellamourges, and
four sub-deacons, Messrs. Galtier, Ra-
YouX, Caus and Petiot. The sub-deacons,
who had not yet completed their theo
logical studies, remained at st. Mary's
college, Emmetsburg, Nd, while the
two priests continued their journey with
the bishop toward their future homes in
the Mississippi valley. Messrs. Galtier,
RavouX. Caus and Petiot were ordained
in Dubuque, Jan. l, 1910, they being the
first priests ordained in Dubuque on the
western side of the Mississippi river,
north of the Missouri line. The diocese
of Dubuque comprised the territory of
Iowa and that portion of Minnesota
lying west of the Mississippi river.
The eastern side of the river
belonged to another jurisdiction, but
the few Catholics there living depended
for spiritual succor upon the diocese of
Dubuque, with which they were geo.
graphically in close proximity. Saying
nothing of the visits of the Franciscan
and Jesuit fathers in the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries, the beginning
of Catholic work in Minnesota may be
said to date from the year 1882 In the
summer of that year Bishop Loras, ac
companied by Father Peilamourges,
visited Fort Smelling and st. Peters
trading post now Mendota.) The bishop
promised the Catholic soldiers and trad
ers that he would send them Catholic
priest the following year. In the spring
of 1910 the first boat from st. Louis ar
rived at Dubuque on its way to Fort
Smelling. The bishop remembered the
promise he had made, and then and
there appointed Father Galtier as mis-
sionary to the remote north, and an

lAbbe RavouX.
Father A. Ravoux was born A. ID. 1915,
Jan. II, at Langeac, in Auvergne.
France, about twenty miles from Puy,
where he spent three years in tine Petit
Seminaire and four years in the Grande
Seminaire. Rt. Rev. NJ. Loras. previously
pastor of the Catholic church of Mobile,
Ala, having been consecrated in 1887
bishop OF Dubuque, To-, before visiting
his diocese. went to France in order to
secure missionaries for his poor and
new diocese.
Early in the spring of 1888 he visited
the Grand Seminaire at Puy and deliv-
cred before the seminarians an urgent
invitation in order to induce some of
them to accompany him to America. At
has been already stated, Fable Rayoux
then a subdeacon, offered himself for
the mission, and in September left
France along with Galtier and the rest
for the United States. In 1s41 he was
sent to Prairie du Chen, aud from that
time until 1874 he labored as mission
airy among the Sioux Indians. After
wards he took up the work of Father
Galtler and continued at 1t, single-hand-
