CONFIRMATION,
Imposing Ceremonies at the Church
of the I'm maculate ConeeDtion.

Imposing Ceremonies at the Church
of the immaculate Conception.
Confirmation exercises were held at
the Immaculate Conception church last
Sunday afternoon, and class of 225
we're confirmed. Archbishop Ireland ex-
amined the children on the great body of
truth of the Catholic religion, and he,
himself, seemed surprised with the very
great proficiency which the children
showed. Even little boys spoke out with
dogmatfc certainty in answers to .ques-
tons that would have puzzled their
fathers. Teh archbishop then compli-
mented them on their. very thorough
knowledge of the catechism and spoke to
them feelingly concerning the great Sac
rament OF Confirmation.
In the morning Archbishop Ireland de-
livered one of the most practical and log
ical sermons that the congregation of
immaculate Conception parish ever had
the privilege of listening to-.
He took for his text that passage from
the gospel where Christ came and found
the Apostles drying their nets after a
night OF fruitless labor.
He pointed out that it was in the same
name Of Jesus Christ that the world was
ence to the history of pre- Christian times
that men wer unmoved from the infu-
ences of primitive religion; they degen-
Grated until the world became instinct
with pagan and social corruption.
Christ exhibited In his own life the
perfect man; revealed system Of reli-
gion and poured into the world grace
and the Christian Influences and from
these resulted the most magnificent civ
ilization the world has known.
"a pagan philosophy" said the arch
bishop, Cannot do now wha tit failed to
do in times past. Mental culture can
never stem the tide Of human passion,
nor cure one moral leper. I am divine,
said Christ, and life worth living must
eb incorporated in him."
He spoke encouragingly of the at
tempts now made to universalize educa-
ton, but said he, Education should be
not only of the mind but Of the heart,
and beth heart and mind must be
moulded in the Christian school"
individuals" he said, owed it to
themselves to open their lives to the
influence of Christ; they owed it to their
families to keep the picture Of Nazareth
ever present in their homes, and they
owed to society to be guided by con-
science formed on Christian principles
in their exercise of the rights of citizens. .

diplomas Archbishop Ireland, said:t /.
1--WE love America, inSWhose welfare all
are SO intimately concerned. What is it
that has made this country so great and
prosperous? It is the men that make up
the country. What is it that will advance
the church in the land? The men who
make her membership. And these four
teen graduates, whatever may be the career
in which they display their talents, let
them be highminded, generous, honest and
honorable, and the influence of the four
teen cannot be estimated. This is great
day for the church and for the country, and
great day for the college which viii be
known through you.. Whatever you do, do
honor to yourselves. You cannot expect
to pass through life without struggles or
without opposition. It is opposition
which excites progress. This is the elev-
enth year Of the college. For eleven years
it has done service in the state Of Mime
sofa. And we have every reason to be
thankful for the success that has attended
it. The Catholics throughout the North
went have shown their appreciation Of
higher education, of college education, by
sending their sons to st. Thomas When
the college was started we had fears and
doubts lest in the new state OF Minnesota
it might prove a failure, that the people
would not appreciate the advantages Of a
classical school, But they have appre-
ciated St. Thomas, and we thank the par
erts very much indeed. Education today
is really necessary In its highest forms in
order that young men may take advantage
of all opportunities"

But no man can note these passing con-
ventions without turning full front to that
event which marked 1880, and uncovering
the memory of a meeting which makes
those others almost commonplace. It was
the clashing of two mighty forces, and the
spectacle of their collision was a thing to
remember. There were the Grant forces,
3O6 strong, and nothing under the heavens
could decrease that number. Think Of the
men who controlled it. Don Cameron was
the smallest Of the three. He carried Penn
sylvania. There was Roscoe Conkling.
He marshaled mighty New York, and all
New England was against him. But great
est of all was John A. Logan; loved and
followed throughout the state of Grant and
Lincoln. Day after day, by siege and
sort.e, by swift attack and skillful strategy.

In the hawthorns merrily,

That I loved long, long ago,
While the corn-cakes from the clover
Hail each other constantly,
And tho shades Of twilight hover
Ger my own country. 49,
Here there's wealth for honest labor
Red gold for the toiler's hand
Peace and plenty, sunlight beaming
On a happy, favored land:
But alas! old thoughts came thronging
But the sunset time to me,
Till my heart grows sick with longing
For my own country.
And I see a whitewashed cottage
In the winding, old boreen,
Where the thrushes made their dwell.

LOUTH.

With general regret, in town and coun-
try, the announcement of the death Of
Lieut.. Rodolph Smith was learned, which
took place on June LIST, at his fathers resi-
derce, Green Hills House Drogheda. For
some months past it was observed that the
deceased gentleman was slowly but surely
passing away to the better land. To the
latest, he was up and abroad, hopeful and
cheerful, with the usual kindly word and
greeting for all who knew him. He was the
eldest and last survivor of the sons of Mr..
Ralph Smith, J. p. The deceased served
some years in the 18th Highlanders.

with a little war of their own, and the
general was beaten. He has lost in a
greater encounter since then and is
gathered to his fathers. Bradley OF
Kentucky. and Horace Davis were really
visible. Pat Egan was here, and Ben
ButteFworth, with his unctuous stories.
And Sam Fessenden and Charley Foster,
Of Ohio. Leonard SWEET was a good,
strong figure. So was G. B. Farwell, then
q senator from Illinios. Plat was here
Just as a simple delegate crying to live
down the "me too odium of four years
before. r.. B. s. Pinchback just barely
reminded one Of more unpleasant days
in Dixie And Senator John Paul Jones,
of Nevada, was here with silver theories
that would oatracise anyone now. Ftlley
was here and so was his enemy, Kerens,
of Missouri. Chris Magee was another,
and If he hasn't gained much 1t must be
confessed he has not lost anything.
The Republican convention Of 1884 was
called to order in Chicago, at the old Expo

And very hot day it was, too. Preston
B. Plumb, Of Kansas, Is one Of the most
notable names which that convention re-
calls. He was for Blaine, and he was a

convention. Both are now dead. Bishop

prayer. r. q. Horr was assembly delegate
then. He has been debating with "Coin
