constitutes a great danger to the peace

there is really no solution to such diff

Mr.. Auguste Saint Gaudens, the dis
inguished Irish-American sculptor, was
one OF the two names chosen by the
General Assembly Of Academicians and
Associates, held at Burlington House
London on Jan. 4, for election as Hon
orary Foreign Academicians, In con-
erring this title upon Mr.. Saint eau
dens, the Academicians are doing
themselves high honor, for Mr.. st. eau
dens is universally recognized as one
the three or four great sculptors of
the day. He was born in Dublin, but
was taken as child to America, and
his preliminary studies were made in
the National Academy of New York.
He executed his first marble statue in
Rome in 1872, his subject being Hia-
watha, and has since been responsible
for many brilliant pieces of work.
America has memorials of his genius in
the statues of Abraham Lincoln in Chi
cago, General Sherman and Admiral
Farragut in New York, and Samuel
Chaplin in Springfield, and amongst the
contracts he has at present on hand
is that for the Dublin Parnell statue.

The Truth About St. Expeditus.

new Congregation of Rites has
sprung up in quite an unexpected
quarter, to-wit, in the columns of the
daily press of Italy, Germany and
France, says the Tablet
The editors have suddenly become
exceedingly interested in the case of
st. Expeditus. AS might have been
expected, most of the editors have not
only uncanonized this saint, but have
sternly relegated him to the regions
of myth and fable. Their interest in
the saint has been aroused by a re-
port that the popular devotion to him
in Rome is being discouraged by the
Apostolic Visitors, and that his statue
has been removed # ON some of the
churches in which it formerly occu-
pied prominent position. The real
truth is that in some places and
among some people devotion to st.
Expeditus has taken an eccentric and
exaggerated form. 1t seems to have
started in Austria about the middle
of the eighteenth century, and it is
now very common in most European
countries. st. Expeditus is invoked
as the patron of urgent cases-he is
depicted as a Roman soldier holding
in his right hand a cross on which
is inscribed the word Today" and
crushing with his foot a crow which
is just able to croak out the word
Tomorrow" The symbolism is quite
modern, and has struck many devout
Catholics as somewhat ridiculous. In
the popular mind it is supposed to
mean that st. Expeditus obtains for
you without delay any favors you ask
through his intercesslon. Doubtless
the name "Expeditus" has given rise
to this belief, but it has received cur
rency and strength through the me-
dunn Of popular elves" of the saint
which are nothing better than tissue
of the idlest conjecture All we know
with certainty of st. ENpeditus is sum-
med up in the two facts that he ex-
listed in an early period of Christian
ity and that he was martyred; these
are quite sufficient to entitle him to
the generation of Catholics, but they

A DIseusTED MINISTER.
Says the Church Has Been Caught Il
the Maelstrom Of Materialisn,.

the Maelstrom Of Materialism.
The Rev. Charles Wellesley spicer,
of Portsmouth, Ohio, has abandoned
in disgust the Protestant ministry, and
henceforth intends to devote his at
tention to the law, says the Freeman's
Journal. In a local paper he can
didly sets forth the motives that
prompt him to take this step. He
frankly states that he is not satisfied
with the position taken in recent times
by the Protestant Church, which. &C.
cording to him, is dominated by a
spirit of materialism. Here is a syn
opsis of his reasons for leaving the
pulpit. as given by press dispatch:
In the statement he complains that
this is an age Of materialism,' and
that the church has been caught in
the maelstrom of it. The Protestant
Church lacks authority and direction,
he says, in which respect it difreren-
tiates itself from the Catholic Church,
which alone maintains the bold, ag
gressive spirit of the past, and which
alone is gaining ground For these
reasons and the additional one that
church work is unremunerative, he has
embraced the law. He invites the
church to take warning"
The church over which the ex-Re,
Spicer presided is Christ Episcopal
Church, of Portsmouth, Ohio, which,
we are informed, lis the most fash
ionable and wealthy congregation in
the CITY," 1t remains to be seen
whether or not it will follow the adj
vice of it's former pastor and take
warning" That there are some Prot
estant congregations that are open to
the charges made by Mr.. Spicer is
beyond doubt. The very designation
"a wealthy and fashionable congrega-
ton" indicates the segregation of the
rich and the cultured from the COM
mon people. to whom the Founder u
