eleven days to get to Nulato and every
night were obliged to sleep Out-of-dOoTs.
They dug hole in the snow and slept
there. Once it was ON the river and the
weather was awful. They had been able
to make but two miles when night came
upon them. They could not even reach
the forest. They had TO remain on the
ice and to lie down without fire or sup
per. Despite the fatigue of the day the
father could not sleep. Towards morn
ing he tried to rise but he could not; he
was buried alive. After time the In
dian succeeded in getting out of his
tomb. His first care was to look for the
father. Soon he found him, but before
he could get the poor priest free he was
obliged to chop off with a hatchet the
snow and ice which had frozen round
him in the night. When he got out he
wet to the skin, but in n few mo-
ments every stitch had frozen, and he
was encased as in a suit of mail"
Lent is passing away rapidly; on Pas
sion Sunday they are to have the First
COmmuniOns.
Our Indian women with four of the
children are preparing for their First
Communion next Sunday. They went
to confession the vigil of the feast of ST.
Joseph, and then the eve of the great
day they spent in recollection. Father
IOsl heard their last confessions about
four. and you hardly know how consol-
ing it is to see how well these dear
children understand the happiness that
awaits them. As you know already
dear mother, they are older than our
civilized chldren-from fourteen to fif-
teen. Sister Superior is busy with them
all day, as well as on the morning of the
great day. Their cOstum0is very simple.
check calico dress, white collar, and
veil-that is all. Mass was said at
nine. Father TOsi was celebrant, assisted
by Father RObaud. After the singing of
the Sanctus the COMMITMENTS recited
the prayers before Communion in Indian
and then approached the holy table.
Father RObaud sang the COnfiteOr and
Father ToSi addressed them some words,
the Blessed Sacrament in hand, after
which the good Jesus for the first time
since the institution of the Sacrament,
entered into five hearts of the poor In
dians of Alaska. What joy for the great
Master! He who had waited for them
for nineteen centuries has been able to
find at last home in their hearts,
And now the end comes. Navigation
will soon be open and this letter must be
sent away. How pathetic are the clos
inglwords; "And now, dear mother and
good sisters, | leave you for another
year" Another year of solitude, of
hardship, and of work. Even now. as
we sit by our pleasant firesides, these
brave women are toiling away in cold
and hunger for the souls of their be-
niglted brethren. Leaky roofs and short
commons must be, after all, only small
portion of their sacrifice, for thev are
cultured ladies, cut off from ali inter
course with their kind. And we who
wish so much and do so little. is there
anything in our power that might make
the hard lot of these heroines less hard?
Can we do anything to help them in their
noble work that the kingdom of Christ
may prevail. .-CRthOHc World.

The political condition Of the country is not
70 be inferred from few isolated facts, but the
concurrence this winter Of deadlocks in various
state legislatures with contests over governors
elections signifies a degree OF superheated
politics Of certain kind that does not argue
well for the public quiet. The love Of Office is
ut the bottom Of the excitement. The ambition
TO serve ones state or country may be over
strained Nebraska, with her three claimants
for the governorship and one of them nervously
prostrated and reported to be insane from after
election controversy and excitement, furnishes

The bill introduced in the House to increase
the numbers and promote the efficiency Of the
Marine Band deserves the most favorable con-
sideration Of Congress. This is the only real
governmental band that we have and it should
be placed on an equality with the best bands of
other countries At present the pay of the
members Is inadequate to the value of their
services, greatly less than they can make in
civil life and insufficient to retain the best
musicians. Mr.. Sousa, the present leader, has
done much TO elevate the standard of
his force, but he is hampered by the
small wages that he can offer and by
an inability to increase the number
The duties CT the band are by no means slight.
as they are obliged not only to be present at
the navy yard with the corps to which they are
attached but also to attend all presidential re-
ceptions and every ceremony, official or diplo-
matte, to which they may be ordered. Ii is
peculiarly appropriate that the increase asked
for should be made now, for at the opening Of
the Worlds Fair this band will represent the
United States in the musical program Foreign
governments will also be represented by their
best military bands and it would be shock to
our national pride if our own band should be
surpassed by any Of the visiting organizations
The citizens Of Washington are interested in
the proposed legislation because the Marine
Band, by its location and the enjoyment it has
furnished, has become local as well as national
institution in which the capital city takes both
pleasure and pride.

Gov. Hill will be Senator Hill and take his
chances of a sidetracking of his 81 presidential
boom There has been no undue haste in
ceded by most deliberate and careful weigh
ing of the considerations for and against it.
On the one hand the fact presents itself that
the Senate is proverbially poor stepping stone
to the presidency, that the Congress of the i'm
mediate future with its stron:, alliance repre-
sentation will be full OF especially dangerous
pitfalls for the presidential candidate, and that
the election Of Hill to the Senate has been sup
ported by his enemies avowedly for the purpose
of getting him out of Cleveland's way in 80.
On the other hand it has become evil
dent that an attempt to secure a third term
of the governorship would seriously injure
Hills popularity and political strength even if
il were successful. and since without the sena-
torship or governorship his presidential cam
paign must be conducted from private life,
since the senatorship is in itself highly honor
able and influential Office. since it will give
him the opportunity to make national political
alliances for 81 or, failing in that year, leave
him in advantageous position TO try again in
&c. he has concluded to take the bird in hand,
reserving all rights. however. to gun in '92 and
80 for the birds in the bush. Mr.. Hills
shrewdness and political sagacity have brought
him to what seems now on the whole the wisest
decision for his interests. The spectacle of
Senator Hill dodging among the presidential
pitfalls laid for him at the Capitol in Washing
ton will be an interesting and entertaining
spectacle, especially as Mr.. Hill has had con-
siderable experience and has acquired con-
siderable reputation as an artful dodger in poll
tics He will have cut quite figure in our
political history even if he never gets to be
President
