BEAcONSFlELD OUR FRIEND IN
TROUBLOUS TIMES.

Beaconsfield, too is worthily in tha'
company as Derby's greatest colleague
and successor and as the friend OF
America in Lincoln's troublous time.
We need not ask whether he was
friendly to America on principle or oe-
cause OF his rival Gladstone's enmity
toward lis. Probably ii was for neither
~ those reasons so much as because
his genius foresaw the assured triumph
Of the Union and he preferred to be on
the winning side. Suffice II that he
was our friend when we needed friends
Palmerston completes the company;
the great rival Of Derby and not 4
friend of America. 1t was he who DIT
terIy attacked the Ashburton treaty
which settled disputes between Amer
lea and England; and II was he who In
the Civil War formed, with Gladstone
and Russell, the trinity of animosity
against the Union. Perhaps of the
three, however, his luminosity was
least. 1t was really that he loved Eng
land so much that he was willing 10
adopt any policy that would, as he
thought, be TO her advantage. But II
is surely interesting TO have his effigy
and Lincoln's stand side by side.

culiarly grateful as an adjunct to the
Lincoln memorial-the fine Gothic foun-

Persons accustomed to the sombre gasb

Beneath this the skirt is Of white.
A large golden heart is worn
on the breast. The Sisters chant
the Benediction each day at .
o'clock, in French instead of the
usual Latin. Other prayers are intoned
at various times Of the day. There is
always at least one solitary watcher
before the altar. At other times five
or six of them flutter out like silent
doves and make a low genuflection be-
fore the altar, holding their wells out

popular Catholic priest in this section
Of the country. Beloved by men ard

wealth. favorite guest at dinners.
brilliant. witty. an art critic and racon-
teur OF rare attachments, he was liked
equally by those in and out Of his own
religion.
His church gained. in a way, much
the same reputation of it's neighbor
The Little Church Around the Corner
We'll known actors were among the
attendants at the Sunday services when
they were in the city, and Father Ducey
had many warm friends in the pro-
fession. Mary Anderson used TO go
daily 10 St. Leo's when she was making
her great success in New York. and the
late Kyrle BelIew was often among the
Vorshippers.
The exquisite singing, the fine organ
and Father Ducey's short, interesting
and entirely up-to-date addresses at
the low IL o'clock mass on Sundays
drew those who liked an artistic setting
for their prayers. The interior of the
church was very beautiful with rare
painting and staWary, dimmed by
mellow light from the high stained
glass windows each one OF them, as
are the Stations Of the Cross, a fine
spocimen of artistic work.

than for some time. She made many

houses of her order. opening the first
London house on January 6. 1863. The

Oddly enough, the house selected had
been formerly occupied by queen OK

Between 1868 and 1873, the year Of
her death, she saw the establishment OF
twelve new houses, and finally founded
a place in the Eternal City under the
