 The bark Catalpa. was purchased for $15.Oo0 chartered and cleared through the custom house at New Bedford, Golf and a few other Irishmen went to New Bedford to wish the expedi- ton Godepeed. Among the little com pany that gathered to say geodby was the minister of the church which Captain Anthony attended. He did not know the real destination of the Catalpa, and prayed that she might have a good catch.
 Capt. Anthony spent some months in the Catalpa whaling in reality and got aboard about $1o.o00 worth Of oil. Then he headed his ship for the west ern coast of Australia
 Breflin had left the vese1 at Sydney, money to invest in sheep lands, had reached B1nbury without exciting sus- picion. He managed to notify the prig- oners of the expedition.
 On Easter night, 1876, Capt. Anthony and his followers brought the boats of the Catalpa ashore. covered them with sand, and hid themselves. Soon after dawn the prisoners came out to go to together and there were no guards. The prison authorities knew there was only the bush on one side and the ocean on the other The shaclxIes were soon filed off the prisoners, the boats were dug from the sand and the par 1 ty started for the Catalpa-
 It happened that on Easter Monday there was a regatta and when the whale boats were seen racing to the bark, anchored outside the three milo limit, there was g chase by a gun boat. The commander of the gunboai ordered Capt. Anthony to surrender the prisoners when he came alongside the Catalpa, but Capt. Anthony ran UT the United States flag and dared thu British officer to fire on the whaler. l The men were placed at the gangwas to repel boarders, but no one tried tc
 go aboard and the British gunboaa 1 steamed slowly back into the harbor
 The Cata1pa pointed her nose toward New York and the rescued men were landed there in August, 1878.
 The British government never for. gave Capt. Anthony and until the daJ of his death he was ordered to keel out Of a British seaport The com i mittee raised a fund for the captain and after he had retired as sea cap 1 tain he became chief of the Nev l Bedford police.

Captain Anthony Wouldn't Give Up Prisoners Ran Up United States Flag on Cata1pa and Told Britons to Fire If They So Desired Justice Golf and Jim Key holds Leaders in the Plot.

According to the New York Tribune Justice John W. Golf of the New York Supreme court was one of the party that assisted Captain George s. An thony. who died Thursday in New Bedford, Mass, in the rescue of the political prisoners. John Boyle O'ReiIly induced Golf to go into the venture and the young Irishman then not many years from his native county of Wexford, entered into the venture with all the fire and spirit of youth.
 Golf, at the time O'Reilly got his ear. was working in a commercial house in the day time and studying of a club of the C1an-na-Gael. An other man who became interested in the delivery of the Australian prison CTS was John Devoy who had been re- leased from a prison in England. Gson and Devoy were at the head of of which planned the rescue. The other members were stCata1pa Jim Reynolds of New Haven and John W. Talbot Of San Francisco. They work

is lost in imaginings that beggar the
impossible. The ideals of life that he
learns are unreal, too often its max
inns are unchaste. No relaxation is
acceptable save that which breeds
morbid excitement. No company is
welcome except what tallies with the
fantastical characters of fiction. Hence
the itch for novelty, for change of
place and of occupation. Hence the
contempt for the humble home and
the modest life of the family. Final

Books in Our Souls.
My brethren, there is no science
without books, no art, no inspiration
of any kind. AS our religion is a
science of truth, an art of the ways
of living, an inspiration of heavenly
hopes, it follows that it's literature is,
practically speaking, essential to it's
influence. It's books inspire devout
thought, deepen it, flavor it with the
fragrance of the flowers of Paradise
Or try another illustration. Our Re
deemer says of a good life that its
seed is the Word of Cod duke viii
ID. So our souls are the soil, eternal
truth ploughs them up with holy in
SEPARATIONS of His grace, harrows them
with the visitations of His providence,
and then, the soil being well prepared,
He scatters good thought broadcast,
and fruitful purposes, and elevating
influences of all kinds-He does it by
good words spoken and by good words
written in books. An habitual use of
spiritual books is an uninterrupted
sowing and reaping of the heavenly
harvest. On the other hand, the friv-
olous reading of light books, and the
infatuated devotion to newspapers, is
conclusive evidence of an idle spirit,
of which we may say with Solomon:
81 passed by the field of the slothful
man, and by the vineyard of the fool
| ish man; and behold it was all filed
with nettles, and thorns had covered
the face thereof, and the stone wall
! was broken down" prov. xiv. 80, 81.
Spiritual reading is cure-all for
distractions. 1t gives you a compan-
ion in your prayers, namely, the great
soul that wrote the words your read
1t favors that passive, receptive state
of mind so needful for the enjoy
ment of Gods familiar company. st.
Teresa tells us that often only to pick
up a good book would set her to
praying by the very memory of it's
soothing or it's awakening contents;
just as the sight of beloved friend
brings the recollection of his words
to your soul before he gets within
hearing of your ears. Have you not
noticed that the touch of velvet cloth
in the dark suggests it's soft color
by daylight? There is a magnetism
in familiar book telling of God and
His saints, which instills it's pious
! influences into the soul even before
the eye has scanned its pages.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. PLACID, MARTYR.

st. Placid was one of the first and
most beloved disciples of ST. Benedict,
to whom he was related by blood.
He was born in Rome, in the year 515,
of a patrician family, and at seven
years of age was taken by his father
to the monastery of Subiaco. He was
present with ST. Benedict when the
latter caused the miraculous appear
ance of spring of water by his pray
ers; he was still child when ST.
Maurus walked upon the water to
save him from drowning in the lake;
and at thirteen years of age he fol-
lowed his sanity abbot to the new
foundation of Monte Casino, where
he grew up in the practice of won
derful austerity and innocence Of life.
He had scarcely completed his twenty
first year when he was selected to
establish a monastery in Sicily upon
some estates which had been given
by his father to st. Benedict. So great
had his reputation already become
that his journey to Messina was a
succession of miraculous cures of
persons who had been attracted by
his name. He spent four years in
building his monastery, and the fifth
had not elapsed before an inroad of
barbarians burned everything to the
ground, and put to lingering death,
not only ST. Placid and thirty monks
who had joined him, but also his two
brothers, Eutychius and Victorinus,
and his holy sister, Flavia, who had
come to visit him. The monastery
was rebuilt, and still stands under his
invocation.
Monucha, the pirate captain, when
he had destroyed the monastery of st.
Placid, ordered the monks to be
brought before him every day, and
subjected them to all kinds of tor.
ment. When he saw that the Saint
was joyful in spite of his sufferings
and ceased not to praise God, he com
manded many blows to be given him
on the mouth with a stone; then
when he did not even so prevail, he
caused his tongue to be cut out. But
Placid only spoke the louder, giving
thanks to the Lord for that which he
suffered for His sake.
