UNITED OLD AND NEW WORLD
Atlantic Cable, After Three Disheart.
ening Failures, Was Successfully
Laid In July-Auqust, 1858.

Sixty years ago our broad Yankee.
land awoke and learned that the old
country and the new had been united
by magical tie-the Atlantic cable.
Through the courage and persistence
Of three Americans-there were 9TH
ers, but the three were the actual cable
sponsors-Cyrus w. Field, his brother,
David Dudley Field, and that fine old
philanthropist, Peter Cooper-the great
project was carried over. The total
cost was $1,834,5OO, the cable alone
taking 81 $50, and the line crossed
from Trinity bay, Newfoundland, to
Valentia, Ireland, the cable being very
close to $500 miles long.
Three times the attempt to lay the
cable had failed, chiefly owing to de-
fects in its material. The fourth at
tempt was successful. The Niagara,
then the largest ship in the United
States navy, and the Agamemnon, a
British warship, met in midocean on
July 20, 1853, each carrying section
of the cable. The ends were carefully
spliced and then the two ships turned
homeward, moving slowly as they paid
out the cable. On August the Mia
CARA reached Trinity bay; the Aga
memnon reached Valentia on the 9th.
On August 16 the cable was pro-
nounced in working order, and here Is
the first official message that passed
across:
Europe and America are united by
telegraphy. Glory to God in the high
est; on earth peace, good will toward
men," :.

Where Courage Is Common.

The Kansas soldier who, after taxi
ing part in battle on the Western
front, wrote to his mother, "Say, moth
er dear, I never knew courage was so
common" has expressed the sentiment
of the nation. We never knew that
there was so much latent heroism
among the young fellows in the Offices,
the factories and on the farms Of
America. Thank God that to our young
Americans courage is common ~

LORD RRAMPToN.

]. Godfrey Raupert, K S. G., tells an
interesting anecdote of the late Lord
Brampton, a distinguished English jur-
ist and convert to the Church, in a
current number of the "Liguorian. /"
Lord Brampton was over eighty years
of age when he retired from the bench
and joined the Catholic Church. He
saw very clearly what would happen
if he did not announce these events in
their proper order. His retirement,
therefore, was made known first of all
The newspapers, especially The Times
eulogized him, spoke of his brilliant
achievements and his great ilItellec
tual powers -preserved clear and in
tact right into extreme old age. When
all this had been emphatica1ly stated
there came the announcement of his
conversion to Rome. 1t caused great
astonishment, and number of causes
were assigned. "But they could not
very we'll" slyly remarked Lord Bramp
ton, attribute it to failing intellectual
power or senility."

TRIBUTE TO THE SISTERS.

To me, the Catholic Sisterhood
seems to be one of the strongest
proofs of the existence of hereafter,
says Hon. John Sherman. ex-Vice
President of the United States.
speak not as a member of the Cath
Ollie Church or sectarian or men,
Der of any religious belief. Those
noble women have given up all that
they have in the world, their wealth,
their homes, their hearts, their lives
and have devoted all their energies
and entire attention to the rearing OF
others children. to the guiding of
youths and to the turning Of mature
minds to 1oftier sentiments, with no
hope whatever of any reward, except
that which they hope for in the great
beyond. There is no more potent de-
monstrati0n of the existence of God
than the work Of the Sisters. All
praise, all honor to the great army OF
the Catholic SistefHood!

dinal McCloskey while he was stifl a
student.
81 resolve to arise as soon as. awak-
ened. win not indulge my sloth, but
endeavor to. excite myself by the CON
sideration of Jesus naked and scourg-
ed at a pillar, bleeding in the garden
of agony or nailed to the Cross, When
exercises begin will assume as re
spectful a posture as possible, never
permitting myself to lean on anything.
l will be attentive to grace before and
after meals; will be Indifferent to
what is set before me, never show dis
pleasure and never eat for mere pleas
ure. Shall always endeavor to be
cheerful and agreeable. l will never
begin conversation without raising
my thoughts to God and begging that
l may not sin against charity; that
may not violate the truth or become
too warm or angry. l shall always en-
deavoF to give good example both
to seminarians and students; not to
give way to improper levity; not to
appear proud or conceited; not to be
too nice or too negligent in dress and
never to use a glass without necessity
On Sundays / will always read some
portion Of Scripture, at least one
chapter"
