WHEN Mcmahon, the ex President of
the French Republic, died he left be-
hind but one other Marshal of France
Canrobert; and he has just answered the
last tattoo of the muff1ed drum, says the
Catholic Union and Times. Since the
creation of the proud title in 1875 what
galaxy of stars has it given to the mill
tary heavens OF that heroic land! Es-
pecially in the meteoric glory of the
First Napoleon, Marshal of France was
name to copjure with; and the thought
that the humblest soldier in the ranks
carried in his knapsack possible Mar
shal's baton was continual incentive to
prodigies of valor. The great Corsican
elected twenty five Of his bravest gen.
erals to that honor; while the feeble
"Nephew of his Uncle" before the bub-
BILE of bis power burst at Sedan, created
as many as fifteen. Altogether the
Marshals of France have numbered 81 /.
Alas, and where is now all that shining
host of heroes! Gone like the glory of
the morning, leaving never ray behind.
Thus hath it ever been; and thus shall it
be to the end.

ANNOUNCEMENT has recently been
made of the death in St. Louis, of the
Rev. E. v. Lebrerton, an ex'priest who
was quite prominent in the East some
years ago. Lebrerton was at one time a
Catholic priest in Lowell, Mass, but fell
from greece and becamea Methodist. As
usual, there was a woman in the case,
and Iebrerton was shortly after married.
Lebrerton quickly became a celebrated
escape" and travelled about lecturing
and vilifying the Church. But he never
wholly lost his faith, and the conscious
ness of his terrible wrongdoing drove
HIM to remorse and drink. He disap-
peared from Lowell few months ago,
leaving note saying that he intended
to 20 back to the Church be had desert
ed, and enter monastery. Last week
his 'swife" recei. ed notice OF his death in
hospital in st. Louis, and her inform
ant said in his letter: sit may be con-
ISOLATION for you, and at the same time it
might repair the scandal he has given
you, to know that he died reconciled to
his God, and full of sorrow for past mis-
deeds.''

(. The sinking of the North German
lloyd steamer Elbe in the North sea was
one Of the greatest calamities that has
eyer taken place at sea. It is strange ill.,
deed that such thing could happen at
this time of advanced knowledge OF ship
building and seamanship. Accidents are
liable to occur but no good reason can be
given why an ocean steamer should not
carry sufficient life boats to float all peo-
pie carried by the ship. Perhaps in mid
ocean life boats would be of little avail,
yet in place such as the accident &C.
Cured at, every life might have been
saved by proper precaution as to life
saving apparatus. A great deal can be
done to make ocean travel more safe.
While from twenty to thirty feet might
be torn off the bow OF the ordinary ocean
steamer without preventing her from
continuing voyage, yet the late acct
dent shows that when struck amid ship
she is ruined at once. If less money was
expended in fitting up gorgeous saloons
and state rooms on ships and more ex-
pended in guarding against accidents, it
might be more in keeping with true ad-
vancement.

The statements concerning his MISSION
in this country which the Apostolic Del
egate made in the address he delivered
before the Gridiron Club at the national
capital recently, ought to set arrest what
ever apprehensions any timid non -Catho-
lies have entertained in that regard, says
the Catholic Columbian. In his own
mama and in the name of the illustrious
Pontiff who sent him hither, Mgr. Satolll
explicitly repudiated the mission attrlb-
uted to him by those who declare that
the Pope sent him to this country to fur
Their the CLAIMS OF the Holy See to tenn
poral authority; and he declared that the
sole scope of his mission is ''to promote
righteousness, liberty, sympathy aud the
spirit of Christian brotherhood through
out the land" The very favorable re-
ceptiou rendered to the Papal REPRESENT
alive whenever he appears in public
shows that all intelligent Americans
rightly understand and duly appreciate
the character of his mission. It is only
the ignorant, intolerant and un.American
Apaist who objects to the MonsiRnor's
presence here, and who, in individual
cases. makes himself the laughing-stock
of the country by demanding the Dele
gates deportation.

IT appears that The Minneapolis
Times and the Minneapolis Journal have
undertaken the defense of Hayward in
the trial now in progress. The attitude
of those papers has not failed to attract
public notice and there are hints OF
"boodle." The manifestly unfair color
ing given to the reports Of the proceed
ings by these papers is unbecoming a
newspaper. It has exactly the same eff
feet as an editorial in defense and
amounts to an attempt TO try man in
the newspaper. If these papers think
they can create public sentiment by
such deceptive methods they are bound
to be disappointed. All the public de-
mands il Justice il the case and all they
ask from the newspapers is . fair and
uncolored report Of the trial as it pro-

On Tuesday last the British Parlia-
mont met. Congress will now have q
competitor in the art of ''parliamen tary
representation" The Queens speech .
which Is recognized as sort of travesty
upon the program of the party in po~e r,
speaks of disestablishment, one man one
vote, the perennial irish land question,
and reform in the government OF Lon
don. The one issue to which in reason
and Justice the Liberal party is pledged
Home Rule-is not even men toned,
nor is the mending of the House OF
Lords. Lord Rosebery either is insin-
cere, incompetent or a coward. Appar-
emily he hopes TO avoid dissolution un-
til some more favorable opportun ity for
an election by talking against time.
Lord Rosebery has not been as success
full as premier as might be wished for
and it is probable that the longer an
election is put off the worse the Liber-
ais will fare when it does come.

aims Ell preventing 90 much vice e pos.
sible and il providing punishment seems
tomake compromises with vice. This,
however, is not true. The civil law adj
ministers punishment Of it's own in this
life and in so doing recognizes degrees OF
crimes which are not known to the moral
code. Insfxing an age Of consent it is
simply FIXING the limit whereby punish
ment is measured. II that age is placed
too low it exposes innocent girls to the
entioements and allurements Of immoral
men. By placing that age too high II
would expose immoral men to the allure
ments and enticements Of equally OF more
immoral women, and subject the man to
q severe punishment while the woman
would go free. How many women there
are in this city kbetween the ages OF IL
and 10 who are among the very worst
criminals! It would be very unjust as
we'll as dangerous to create severe pen
atty for the offending male and protect
the women as innocent simply because
she had. mot reached the age of eighteen.
The Penny Press speaking editorially
says: "In how many families today do
the daughters Of the household, even at
the age of fifteen realize anything con-
corning this subject, or at least OF sufti-
Gent knowledge toprotect them against
the influences of corrupt persons, or even
of person. sof prior moral character
Why should the law, which is intended
for their protection, impose upon these
children a legal knowledge, which they
cannot possibly have, or obtain when
properly brought up before the ages OF
Is or IL years?" These ideas we believe
to be wholly wrong, and without founda-
tion. A girl is not properly brought
up if at the age of youthful womanhood
she does not understand the basil prin-
ciple Of human life. Her mother or
guardian has either been severely al
fault in doing her duty or has been con
trolled by most unreasonable and per
nicious sense of what true duty and mod
esty consist in. We believe that the age
of 16 is reasonable and just age at
which a female should be made equally
responsible with her male companion
A lower limit would be an injustice tc
females and a higher limit would be
equally unjust to the males. OF course
| in speaking thus it must be understood
that we are speaking from the legal poin
of view. These two bills before the leg
islaturs should fail as they are inconslst
emit with their avowed objects and woule
work great injustice to the state.

THE aacredness with which the sacra-
ment Of Confession is viewed everyone
knows-w1ll it be believed, then, that q
Catholic could make use OF this holy rite
as mean device by which to extort a
secret from q miserable prisoner? asks
the Catholic Mirror. And yet, it seems,
this was done by sheriff named Delaney
at Green Bay, Michigan. A Polish farm

having murdered his wife, and in order
to Obtain an acknowledgment from him

PAUL BouRarr, says the Boston Pilot,
who has travelled in Ireland and, unless
he be color-blind ought to have seen that
Irish eyes are not all of one color, prints
this sagacious remark, in his latest in
stalment of"Outre Mer,' ION the authority
of an Ohioan whom he met in Florida
he is speaking of Irishmen:. "There are
two things those people cannot change
first of all their eyes, then their way OF
pronouncing certain letters, p and r..
Make them pronounce word in which
there is the sound Of 'P';;'they are help
less. They say oil" Irish eyes are
blue, black, brown, green, yellow, gray,
hazel-all colors peculiar to human
optics As to the other kind Of 81" it is
true that somes uneducated Irishmen
pronounce it ''oi," in certain words, just
az some uneducated An orleans reverse
the case by pronouncing Col" as ii" in
such words as spoil, boil, point, joint. etc.
The same class OF Americans find it as
hard to pronounce "u'' correctly, in
words like tune, new, and so forth.
Millions Of good citizens read their ''noose-
paper" daily. without ever suspecting
that they pronounce two of it's first four
letters incorrectly. As for the unfor-
tunate letter ''r," 1t is murdered various
ly in every state from Dakota to Florida.
Southerners drop it altogether. New
Workers say "Thyity-thyid street.; and
in our own New England it is sign Of
culture, in certain circles, to put it where
it does not belong at all, as in "tomarto,"
"banarna," and in the proper name OF
great singer whom her countrymen love
to call "Emmar Rabbot."

Ex-Gov. PATT1soN, OF Pennsylvania
has been nominated by the Democrats
for mayor of Philadelphia. Gov. Patti
son has been governor Of the great Re-
publican state of Pennsylvania eight
years, being twice elected. He has twice
been elected comptroller of the Republi-
can city of Philadelphia and stands a
fair chance of being elected it's mayor.
The nominal Republican majority is 49,
900 but there is dispute in the Repub-
lican ranks and the immense popularity
of Gov. Pat ison coupled with his reoog-
nized ability and integrity may give him

McClure's Magazine For February.

There could bs no filter nor more in
tereeting commemoration OF the death OF
Robert Louis Stevenson than that made
in McClure's Magazine for February.
With pictures of Stevenson's South Sea
life and home, and portraits OF Stevenson
extending from his babyhood to within q
year of his death, and including repro
duction of the beautiful photograph by
Sir Percy Shelley, is given, first, an
account by personal friend who saw
HIM off from San Francisco, of his sail
ing to the South Sea and establishing
himself in Samoa, and then tributes from
his fellow Scotchmen, and in some sort
disciples j. NJ. Barrie, s r. Crockett
and Ian Maclaren. Intimately allied
with him as these three writer's were by
nationality, vocation, and affectionate
regard, their word on his death has an
especial appositeness and value. Mr.
Barries is a poem, very happy and
original in conception, and strongly exc
cuted. An illustrated article by
Alexander K. Mcclure, editor Of the
Philadelphia "Times," shows by anec'
dotes and letters that Lincoln, of whom
Colonel Mcclure was an intimate friend
exercised personally the full powers of q
military commander IN the earlier part
Of the war, and showed the comprehen'
sion and mastery of great general in
military details. The new Scotch writer
Ian Maclaren, contributes an excellent
short story; and there is another story
