Sheriff Bowen Of Mlssiss-

statement concerning the

that Leon Roussan, editor
Of the Osceola Times, made
charges against the sheriff
connecting hlm with the
lynehing, and refusing to
make a retraction left the
city, leaving the Times in
charge of his wife. One
thing is certain, whether the
statement of Bowen or
Roussan be correct, Roussan
should not have left OSce0la.
An acknowledgement was
proper if he had been wrong,
and if he was right he should
have stayed, regardless of
threats, with his family and

they were hoarse when Clay or Critten-
den addressed them. Oratory, more than
any other art, swayed the public mind.
Then did the graceful delivery of Bish-
op Spalding draw men of every class,
of every creed, to listen to his exposi-
tion Of Catholic doctrines. Like all no.
BILE minds, his faith in his fellow men
was great, unbounded. Show them the
truth and they will embrace it, was
ever his firm belief.
During the Civil War Archbishop
Kenrick, of Baltimore, died. Strong
hearts quaked as the country contin-
ued to flow with the blood of her sons.
"The future of our church as of our
country wrote Bishop Spalding, "is
very uncertain. Everything looks dark.
But the church will stand, however
prosecuted" Who was to fill the i'm
portant post left vacant by the death
of the venerable archbishop? Who, but
Bishop Spalding, of Louisville?
His work as Archbishop of Baltimore
many now living we'll remember. The
reception given him on his return from
the council that declared the Vicar of
Christ to be infallable, showed the love
of American Catholics for the highest
dignitary of the church in their own
land, as we'll as their love for, and 10y
atty to, the successor Of st. Peter. Bells
rang, cannon doomed, thousands passed
in procession before the open carriage
of the beloved archbishop. The cities Of
Washington and Baltimore We'd one
with the other in showing honor to this
spiritual father. A kind father he was
ever to the poor, the unfortunate, the
weak, the sinful His Catholic heart
went out in sympathy to the suffering
of mankind; regardless of creed, of
race, or of nationality.
All his life he had worked for his
fellow men and for his God. A devout
Catholic, loyal American citizen, he
ever proved himself to be. No Cath
olic American can read his life and not
thank God for sending such souls to be
an example for others. No man can
ponder on his life work and not be made
nobler thereby.

THE EVERLASTING CHURCH.
MacauIay's Description of the Church
of Rome.

The following wofds of Lord Babing-
ton Macaulay, the English historian, on
the Catholic church, are worth commit
ting to memory:
There is not, and there never was, on
this earth, work of human policy (of
course, Catholics do not recognize the
church as human organization) so we'll
deserving of examination as the Cath
olic church. The history of that church
joins together the two great ages of hu-
man civilization. No other institution
is left standing which carries the mind
back to the time when the smoke of sac
rif1ce rose from the Pantheon and when
cameleopards and tigers bounded in the
Flavian amphitheater.
The proudest royal houses are but of
yesterday when compared with the line
of the Supreme Pontiffs. That line we
trace back in an unbroken series from
the Pope who crowned Pepin in the
eighth; and far beyond the time of Pep
in the august dynasty extends, till it is
lost in the twilight of fable The re-
public of Venice came next in antiquity.
But the republic of Venice was modern
when compared with the Papacy; and
the republic of Venice is gone and .he
Papacy remains. The Papacy remains,
not in decay, not a mere antique, but
full of life and youthful vigor. The
Catholic church is still sending forth
to the further ends of the world mis-
sionaries as Jealous as those who land
ed in Kent with Augustin; and still
confronting hostile kings with the same
spirit with which she confronted Attila.
The number Of her children is greater
than in any former age. Her acquisi-
tions in the new world have more than
compensated her for what she has lost
in the old. Her spiritual ascendancy
extends over the vast countries which
lie between the plains of Missouri and
Cape Horn; countries which, century
hence, may not, improbably, contain a
population as large as that which now
inhabits Europe.
The members of her community are
certainly not fewer than 15O,OOO,OOO lin
1887 over two hundred and thirty mill
ions), and it will be difficult to show
that all the other Christian sects united
amount to hundred and twenty mil
lions Nor do we see any sign which
indicates that the term of her long do
minion is approaching.
She saw the commencement of all The
governments and Of all the ecclesiasti-
cal establishments that now exist in the
world; and we feel no assurance that
she is not destined to see the end of
them all. She was great and respected
before the Saxons had set foot on Brit
ain, before the Franks had passed the
Rhine, when Grecian eloquence still
flourished at Antioch, when idols were
still worshiped in the temple of Mecca;
and she may still exist in undiminishcd
vigor when some traveller from New
Zealand shall in the midst of vast
solitude, take his stand on a broken
arch of London bridge to sketch the
ruins of st. Pauls.
