President Cleveland advocates rel1gi-
GUS and moral training for tho ciy4iliza-
ton of the indians, and says thatlsuch
instruction should be joined wiith the
secular education which the government
affords Indian children. This may be
considered another condemnation. on
Mr.. Cleveland q part, OF that fell policy
which Morgan sought to inaugurate ct
the Indian schools, and which had for
it's real purpose the destruction Of all
the schools which the Catholic Church
maintains ct the agencies.

A colossal statue OF the Bles sed Vir-
gin, the work Of the Duchess OF 'Uzes,
whose son recently died in Africa, is to
be erected upon one of the lofiest sum
mits Of the RourRuee Mountains, in the
department Of the Aveyron. The statue,
which will be visible to passengers on
the line from Paris to Montpelier and
Beziers, is about fifty feet in height, and
the situation selected. for # is enc of the
most picturesque in that mountainous
region. The enterprise is under the pat
ronage Of Cardinal Bourret, the bishop
Of the diocese, and Of thirty-four other
prelates, and it is calculated that the,
work will not be complete for three or
four years.
Another blow has been dealt to the
popular traditions of the olden times by
the Investigations OF Prof. Muntz, who,
at the last meeting OF the Academy Of
Inscriptions, in Paris, furnished incon-.
trovertible evidence to the effect that the
female Pope Joan was nothing but myth
The legend with regard to the female
Pope has been traced to the ninth CEN
tury, her pontifcate is stated to have
lasted for two years, and the name she is
asserted to have assumed was that Of
John VII. Professor Muntz has now
shown proof that no woman has over
worn the tiara and that the romantic
story of Pope Joan i nothing but fable
invented in the Middle Ages.
