the Signal Corps, had i very interesting
time at Raleigh, n. c., where he went
to view the eclipse of the sun. He also
celebrated hi; last visit to the city when
he signalcd from the dome of the State
House on the 26th of April, 1865, the
welcome message. Peace" He was at
that timd with SLe.man's army, and took
back with him to Raleigh this time the
old signal flag used on that occasion, and
also his telescope. He was given warm
reception by the cx-rebels and made
speech at the Opera House, and the next
day repeated his message of Peace"
that he had signaled out from the dome
80 years before. Capt. Round now lives
at Manassas, Va.
Archbishop Irelands visit to Paris has
not been altogether pleasant. The old bit
ter fight among the French Roman Cath
olics between the Ultramontancs, who are
more papal than the Pope, and those who
would have more liberty and independence
in the French Church, is raging violently
and the Archbishops visit drew on him
the fire of the Ultramontanes. He was
accused of wanting to become an Amerl-
can Luther: of desiring to build up an
American Catholic Church. and the most
| was made of the Pope's letter to him on
! ''Americanism." AS nothing exceeds in
vindictiveness and unfairness an ecclesi-
| astical row the radicals managed to make
a great many disagreeable incidents.
