THE REV. MODER.A TOR of the Thespians requests the JouRNAL to present his very sincere thanks to the actors and musicians for the earnestness and good will they displayed in preparing and playing their respective parts of the programme rendered on St. Patrick's eve.

* * • THOUGH FAR from fair Ireland's own green slop-

ing hillsides, and (seeking linguistic root.q) in the com­paratively prosaic prairies ofillinois, we nevertheless all enthusiastically joined in the universal peal of gladhtlss, the "Erin go Bragh'' which rang forth all the world over on the day of Ireland's great Apostle, the immortal St. Patrick.

EDITORIAL.'i.

A. PROPOS of the general interest manifested in re­gard to Catholics and Catholic education it is comfort­ing to chronicle th'c well chosen remarks so eloquently spoken by Rev. F. Perry at St. Patrick's late banquet. Among other exeellent thing:<, the Rev. Father said: "It has l~tely been c barged against theCatbolics of this country that they owe allegiance to a foreign prince, and that therefore they cannot be trne and free citizens of the Unittrl States. But we know that the obedience which our faith requires us to give to the decisions of Rome in spiritual matters can in no way clash with any of our obligations to our country . When we behold to­day Ireland's long and wasting struggle, it is her un­flagging steadfastness in her faith that we especially ad­mire. We see her patriots in the front line on the fields of our great battles; we are thrilled by the eloquence of her statesmen anrl orators; she baa men of genius in every walk oflife, and always and ever.vwhere on bat­tlefield, at the bar, or in the tribune they are staunch Catholics if they are Iri~bmen I Let that ~ame loyal ad­herence to the Catholic principles you here learn be your safe-guide; be proud of your grand old faith, and be sure that your Catholh· allegiance will never conflict with your Ametiean citizenship."

• • • NOW THA.T the dear festiv ities of St. Patrick and

of St. J oseph, with their burtben of eloquence, enthusi­asm, and er:Mying devotion are once more past, we again };}etake ourselves studiously to our taskes, looking forward to t he sun-lit and softly bree:r.y days of May and June. The coming contests for elocution and de­bating ( ?) merlals will soonagainclaim our attention; we must needs bestir ourselves, each and every one. Very encouraging as a preparation for a grand and brilliant exibition are the past months of elocutionary and 0ratorical drilling . We have reason to hope that this year's display will y1 ~t outshine the uncommon one of '86, of happy memory.

• • * A.MONGTHE REMARKS passed by Rev. M. Marsile

at the reception given him by the students, one was especially worthy of attention, and that is· relative to gratitude, or a proper and due appreciation of what is done in our behalf by our Superiors. The Rev. Father mentioned that, as a general thing, "much slight and in­consid!!rateness is to be expected rather than a grateful ackowledgoment for ta vors and kind offices done youth; and for this is gratitude in the young the more a love­able virtue and one worthy of admiration.'' We should treasure dearly this lesson and should make it our en­deavor to practice it daily. .

-~() !?_e d ~y_ ..yb~n our heart~ have grown weary

Of struggling with sorrow and sin,

When I ife holds but little sweetness ..

For us mid&t the world's strife and din,

A voice which will still our heart's beating

Shall reach us and one must then go

To rest in the tomb, silent, peaceful­

What greater gift can God bestow?

Ah none-there is rest for the weary,

The:re peace for the soul that has known

-But toil in this wearisome .ex ile.

How tired of t.he cross they had grown­

Nor dreamed that their journey was ending

That soon would t.heir tria,ls be o'er,

·That soon they would rest in God's bosom,

Soon sleep to wal•e nevermore.

· JfQr which will the toil be first over?

· Wh\ch one must yet longer remain?

Must gaze on the loved face in anguish

. While memory sharpens the pain P

For one there wi)lbe peace, contentment;

For one: ~her-e is still grief and woe, .

: For ~ one the'r~ is work yet below.

TRIBUTE TO IRELAND.

•.l .i ... :. ·-· - · - - -' '

ORATION DELIVERED BY MR. A. McGAvJCK

ON THE EVE 01<' bT. PATRICK'S DAY, MARCH 16th., 188~'.

"First tlo·wer of the. earth, first gem of the s~it, All the great ones of eatth can :;till learn from ~hee.'' _ , · Few nations enjoy a fame as pur-~ -.~nd. as bright as .

that of Ireland. Her histOl'Y is full o£ illustrious names; ancl among them there is none wh·ich suines out with Sl1Ch splendor,, noue .so .nem; &n'CI clear to t:he J ,ziish heart, or so closely interwoven witl4 the national greatness of the Irish race, · as the one whose memory we honor to-1;1ight-the much loved and revered St. Patrick. The light of grace and truth whir;h he carried to Erin's sea-beaten shores has en Vf\lopecl her hills and dJi.les with a halo of glory, and has made the land of the Shamrock one of the fairest and brightest lands on the face of God's e:wth. 'J,'hough ages have roHed by since St. P atrick first ntioed aloft on the hill of Tara the shining cross of Christ, his blessed memory has ever lived fresh and green in the great w:lrm heart of the Irish people; and although persecution and bitter exile have driven many of them far from the home of their forefathers, they still always carried with them the remembrance of their great .apostle; so that to-night in every land and clime, wllerever the sons of Erin have turned their wandering steps, wherever virtue or valor or genius rec"ive aught of venera.tion or esteem, wher­ever oppression fin ds an enemy or patience and long­suffering a fri end,-there, to-night, the name of St. Pat­rick is honored, aml Ireland, the ben,utifu~ land of his love, is spoken of witll tenderness nnd reverence .

It is needless to say that on such an occ;tsion as this Irishmen the wurld over are joyous and hnppy. They boast of their Celtic blood; and man~· of them, whether _ they be Nolans, O'Neil~, McCar1hys, Fitzgeralds, or O'Shanghnesseys, delight in tracing baGk their ancestry to some powerful king of Munster or Connaught-often indeed to Brian Born himself. St. Patrick and Parnell, the first and the last, the beginning and end of the golden chain_, are on every lip ; and over every rapidly throb­bing heart,

"The shamro_ck ~ the shamrock! The green immortal shamrock! The chosen leaf of bard and chief, Old Erin's native shamrock."

Decked with that beautiful . national emblem it is the pride and joy of the Irish people to turn in thought to­night to their beiqved country, recalling the glory and greatness which were once her bright heritage, the pa­tient endurance and unflinching heroism which her faith-

ST. V1ATEUR'S COLLEGE JOURNAL. 2:.-7

ful sons have ever displayed, and, above all, recalling the pore stainless virtue, the peerless honor and intP-g­rity, and the unshaken faith in Christ, which have al­ways beeo shining traits of the Irish character, and which form to-day the brightest jewel in the crown that decks the brow oi Erin. And well, too, may they turn to her; for the history of Ireland is a credit to the Irish race, and there is no Irishman to-night who cannot hold it up 1o the gaze of the whole world and acknowl­edge it as his own witbouL a blu~h of shame.

While yet her hanner waved from Tara's hill, and be­fore foreign foes had disturbed her quiet happy shores, Ireland was known throughout the wide world as the land or saints aud scholars. Churches, schools, and mon­asteries dotted the entire lnnd; and the thirst of the Irish for knowle!lge was surpassed only by their zeal for virtue ar,d sacctity. H~tppy had those bright days continued i But AIM! The island of saints and doctors was soon, too soon to be the i~land of heroes and mar­tyJ s. The invaders came. First the Danes who smote her cities, devastated her fair fields, robbed the land of its beaut.y , and ba;t;hed it in the blood of her patriots. It was only after three centuries wlwu Irel!wd at last rose in her might and l'allie•l her bravest sons on the field. of Clontarf, that the enemy w:-~s overcvme and beaten into the sea. Then came another and stronger foe the English, :-~gninst whom the gallant defenders of lri,;h liber Ly rallied in vain; for ovEr tueir pale lifeless bodies tllc merciless invader marched-marched on into •.he heart of the kiugclom ann with hands streaming red with pme wnrm l>lood reached aloft and tore down tbefair emblem of freectom, tore rut~lessly down lbe green spot­less l>anner of Erin. Hencefortb Ireland was a captive man:-tcled nnd. chained.

•·The emerald gem of the western sea

\IVa~ set in the crown of a strnnger."

Now, ind(oed, were inaugurated Ireland's . dnys uf agony. Her rivers ll.nd streams ran crimson witll p:-~.tri­

ots' blood. The calm waters of her silvery Jakes, and the flowers of her valleys and bills were reddened with the life-tide of her courageous children. Nations may

·boast of their heroes, they may point to the triumphal arches of their tavorite conquewrs, but the palm of pure disinterested patri<.tism, the palm of fearless self-saCI·ifi­cing devotedness to country, the world will everaward to the sons of St.. P atrick. But it was all in vain. The grasp of the tyrant was only fixed deeper and. firmer.

Yet it was not enough to rob Ireland of the preciouJ boon of freedom; she had to be despoiled of her faith, that pure bright faith which she received from the lips of her favorite saint, and which she bas ever loved and cherished as the immediate jewel of her soul. Bitter per­secution swept over the land. The terrible penal laws,

the worst, as Edward Burke declared, that the ingenuity of man could invent, were enacted and ILercilessly en­forced. Wh<tt the Irish Catholics then endurednohuman tongue can tell. A brutal soldiery overran the country; the smoke of burning churches, monasteries, and convents obscured the light ofhea ven; and on the bright hill-sides of dear old Ireland, where once stood happy homes, now could be seen the blood-stained block, or the gloomy scaffold raised aloft, the picture of grim death. Holy religious were beheaded or hanged as soon as caught, and saintly bishops and priests were cut down like wild bensts on the wayside and their bodies left to rot in the sun .

Oh! you who vnl•1e pr.tience, and end.urance, and suf­fering for Christ's sake, you who hold up to the. world's admiration the fortitud.e and steadfastness of the early christian martyrs, look to the martyrs of Ireland! See that people robbed of their lands, dn ven from their homes, the parent separated from his child, the pastor from his flock, and all hunted like wolves to the mountains. See them pale and emaciated gathering together to wor­ship their God in some deep cavern or lonely recess of the earth; hear their plaintive voices echoing among the glo0my rocks; listen to the music of their prayers ring­ing out in the silent midnight, and when you praise virtue, when you praise charity, faith, and hope, when you praise patient suffering and endurance for the Gos­pel of Christ, oh! do not forget the bitterly persecuted Catholics of Ireland l

But as the rock stands unmoved despite the rolling waves that sweep over it or lash themselves to fury at its foot, so the faith which St. Patrick delivered to the Irish remained unshaken, remained pure and firm and grand, long after the storms of persecution had spent their force, long after the vile hearts, that conceived and app liecl the most inhuman code of laws ever devis­ed by mn.n, bad rotted in the tomb and mouldered into dust. Irland came forth from her agony clothed indeed with her faith, her virtue, and her honor-but stripped of all else. Her lands were in English hands, her cities were razed to the earth, her rich field:; had grown wild for want of cultivation, and the fox and wolf looked forth in fancied security from the ruined homes of her children.

Such is indeed a part of t.he sad story ofireland'shis­tory. It is a shame to humanity to have it told; but that shame is Ireland's glory. The tears which the sons of dear Erin weep to-night as they glance sadly back at the wrougs which their natic•n has suffered, as they look sorrowfully upon the bright banner of green which tO­day it is treason and death to unfurl, those tears are uot the bitter tears of guilt and crime, but the soft worm tears of virtue, Jove, and chaste affection. Ireland can well be proud of her past. The great army of mar-

ty re, saints ann h e roe~, wlto had fonght aucl. died for her, a110 ret1dened her hill s m~o v nlleys with their fresh warm bloocl , she can well press closely and nffectionate· ly to her bosom to-night, for t hey LRve won for her a name and a fame that God selrl om g ives to a nati on, t hey have woven for her a!Hl plnced npon her brow a crown whidJ shines o ut among t he brig htest diad ems of earth.

And not on ly in It·rlanrl's own warm bosom do her saint.,; and heroes sleep; t lll:y slnm ber in every land; they have been in every clim e and the v irtue and glory of Jre land have al ways gone with them. The g r:·•ves of her devo tee! missionari es are scattered Lh e earth over ; a]l(l t he names of Irish saints are honore t1 and revered in lantls an cl coun tries, far, far away fl'Om their own green shores. On the battle fields o f E urope, in the arm ies of Frauce ar,d Spa in ,mel Austria her soldiers have won imperishable fame; and many a gallant hero , as he lay down to cl ie in those farc1i~tant lund s, turned in thought t o his island home, and like the noble Sarsfield only lamented t ha,t t he li !'e-blvod whi ch was slowly ebbing aw9y, was not shed for der·r old Ireland. Exi led and dying he might well repeat those beautiful words once writ1;en of a ban i&hed son of Er in:

"Yet all its sad recollections su ppressing, One dying wish my lone bosom ~;an clra1\r :

Erin, an E>xile bequeathes th ee hi s bless ing , Land of my furcf,Lthers, Eriri go Brng b! Buried and coltl when my heart stills its moti on, G reen be thy fi elds, sweetest isle of the ocean; And thy harp-striking barns sing a lond wit.h devo­El'in mavourneen, Erin go l3ragh !" [tion

I n o ur country, too, the roll of fame coun ts many I­ri sll names. W hen there was no hope of liberty at home they came and fvug bt for li berty ~ere. On Getty sburg and B unker · Hill, t hey have written I re land''s name with their heart's b lood. A nd not only on our ba ttle­fi elds have they won d istinctiol1; but in ev ery walk of life they have a lways shown themse lves the gall ant (1C­

fenc1 ers of right, the frien ds of law and order, the pa­trons of leaming, nn cl especially the zealous lovers of their holy re ligion . Though far from Erin 's green shore_, the spirit of E:·in is wii-h them and the spirit of St. P at­rick La 11gs over them. May it ever be so. May they ever carry w ith t hem I reland's vir tue an d valor, I re­land's bright honor and integrity and , oh! above a ll, Ireland's unshaken fa ith.

Closing we cast one more g lance at de::tr Erin, she is lonely to-night and d reary . The wild winds sweep ove r her with a desolaLe g ro:tn; and the waves of the ocean dash mournfu lly on her shores. Her lands are rich and fertile ; her fields are g reen and fi•)Ck~ ::md herds feed upon them. But, blessed God! her children cry tor brec,cl. Tl!eir homes are rude and uncomely ; and the bleak cold

winds o f the sea whistle through theJil , Many of her ch ildren indeed have no homes, or others have been dri ­ven from the ir homes, a(l cl pllJSS the long night shivering hungry and naked by tiJ e wayside, Ruin<: ton ar.e every­where. Dark crnmbling wt~lls. of ole! n;wna,gteri es r, nd abbeys dot the banks of her streams, and lvok gloomily down from her hill-tops. Here is a martyr ' ~ grave, there a patr iot's, and yonder a mound ofeart.b half-overgrown, the site of an ancient eastle,, or perhaps of a miljestic ca th edral. Before you rises the hill of T!1.ra, desolate, wi thout a stone upon a stone.; at yo uT feet is the "0rop­py's G ra ve,'' the last . resting place of a brave and ga:­lan t b :vncl; whi le not far clista nt old and gmy l oo~n up

-the great "Round Towers," venerable monuments com­ing down from a reri10te antiquity. Thus on rich green fi eld s, in verdant groves, and on the br.nks of beautifully flowing streams, dark, dismal ruin, and misery, sore fln,cl wretched, sit sorrowful tog()ther-a spectacle as sad and as unnatural as the sun or the moon or the s tars of heaven look cl own upo.n.

Such is Erin to-day. Snch the I sle ofthe Ocean th ,Lt once fi ll ed the earth with sple!J.i]Or, and to which thH world in ages yet to be will turn for examples ol'vi rtue and va lor. Hel' garment of glory has heen stripped frow her , pover ty and pntient suffering i5 the cloak she has worn the many y ears. And why? why is the mark of poverty on Ireland's hrow to-night; her people labor Rnd toil mu ch harcler than we. They are honest, indus­trious, frugal, and tem perCLte. Why then t.his wretched­ness?

REV. FATHER MARSILE'S DAY.

According to a time honored custom at St Viateur's, the students of '86 ~nd '81 thought it their dear duty to salute their kind ann fatherly Director on the anni­versary of his patron's day, March the 19lb., the feast of St. Joseph. While busy preparations for a demonstration were going on in the afternoon of tile eve, many doubts were entertained as to the probable presence of the Rev. gentlP:man that e.vening; but at 5 o'clock he re­turned fi·om Manteno where he had been preaching

· for the opening of the •·Forty Hours"' and all was a smile of gladness: we had him! Some time after seven, the ·orchestra bring fairly "in time," the Rev. Fatller wa.S usbereJ into the hall whe1·e the students stood in waiting; the musicians beat t !Jeir gayest measures as Fr. Marsile marched along saluting all gracefully, and took his seat on the st:~.ge with our devoted prefect Fr. Dooling.

When the orchestra h:td finished Mr. Thos. Normoyle, of the senior rlepm·tment., and Mr. W. Maloney, of the Junior side, came forward with an address and an el<l­gant b:1sket of fresh roses. air. Normoy le read the follow­in.~?; address : Rev. and much beloved Director:

"It bas always been your endeavor to instill bto Ol}r young hearts sentiments of gratitude, a virtue which you have tanght ns to admi re and to cul tivate M being perhnps the f drest flower that should adom tile garden. or youth . Ynn wi ll not therefore be surprised if we have Lhoug ltl it our fie:tr right ns well as our filial obli ga~ion to express to you our very sincere thankful­ness, our strong and lasting:tffection,andalsoour hearty good wishes on this the thrice welcome anniversary of your sai ntly Patron's D:ty. To this day we have looked forwnrd for satisfying the necess ity we felt of acknowledging in au especial manner our indebtedness to you fo1· the many , many benefits we have constantly enjoyed under your kindly direction.

On an occasion such a.c, this we love to recall the ear­ly sacrifice of your yo ung years for tile sacred canse of C.ttholic education, the next and perhaps greater sacri­fice of country and kindred; we love to follow and ad­mire your persevering continuance for these many years in the arduous labors of avocation and we appl~.ud your deserved promotion to the position of trust, of respon­sibility and of honor which you now occupy-a trust which you so faitilfully keep, a responsibility which you sensibly feel and an honor which you ever nobly uphold and fittingly grace.

Your untiring labors in our own special behalf, your ever watchful and indeed fatherly r.are so unsparingly bestowed, and especially your lessons and examples of piety are all eloquent and abundantly evident proofs of

1 how deeply we should hold ourselves under obligations to you, and how very justly :wd sincerely we thank you and. wish you many more years of a life indeed full of arduous self-sacrifice, but also full of grand merits and of consoling results.

May we enjoy many years o£ your mild direc­tion, and as best pr(•Of of your true esteem, may we ev­er follow faithfully the principles and high aims which you have taught us and the excellent examples which you have r.onstantly shown us, and thus may we ever remain true and worthy children of St. Viateur's Col­lege."

After this address came a second one from the Min­im's department. It was read by Master Hiram Lingle while Frank Moran presented a. beautiful bouquet, the central flol'ler of which was a large white lilly. The Min­im' saddress was as follws: Deu· Father Marsile:

We are not otten allowed to unite with the Seniors but we all the more gladly do so to-day as it is t!) tell you that we like you very much and that we wish you to be our Director until we grow to be Seniors ourselves autt have graduated even to the smallest Minim.

We love to hear from tile Seniors that you have al­ways been good to the boys and kind as you are now to U 5 j and we too thank you very much for making our College home so much indeed like home.

Be pkased, Rev. and very dear Father, to accept these flowers: the full bloom ro~es of the Seniot:s, the rose-buds of the Juniors, and the lilly which you have often told us is the emblem of St. Joseph's virtue. And with this offering we wonld also confide to you what we so .often heard you call the precious innocence of our years and ask you to keep that. ever as fair as is the white cup of this flower."

To these the Rev. Father responded in about these terms :

·'My dP.ar boys, I thank you for the kind words you have addressed me and the good wishes you express. I would here avow that I am personally opposed to any such demonstration as this for I believe very little in what is merely written on the paper, and I r.onsider ac­tion by far the better expression of your feelings; this year, however, I cannot complain that your actions be­lie your words: I have been well satisfied with your behavior: wherefore it is more acceptab le io receive your thanks, congratulations, and well-wishing, and it i~ even perhap~ safe enough to consider them sincere.

Again, I dv not accept these manifestations of your re~pect and esteem for me personally but for the prin­ciple, the authority which I represent, the body that it is assigned me to direct . ... Yes, my dear boys, grati ­tude is a grand, a. noble >irtue, and it is, I say it can­didly, the more appreciable in youth as it is les:l gen-

The boss kicker both at meetings and in the field is Carroll. I:Ie even kicked when he wa:; told he could'nt play ball a little bit.

The Profs. · sojourned ~o the Senior's Campus last week and indulged in a game of hand-ball. After two well contested games Messrs. Sullivan, OBrien and ' Cusack bore off the palm.

The sporting season was formally opened last Thurs­ctay by a game between the Athletics and Superiors. After not a few brilliant plays victory percherl on the banner of the Athletics. We forbear criticising the game too closely :since it wil.s the maiden effort of the season and the weather was not the best that could be desired for Base-Bill.

No effort has yet been made to organize the repre­sentative nine of the house. Ere long we will have visi­tvrs arrd must be prepared to meet them. Some of our old players have left us, but with the material which ,we have at present, we think a first clas9 nine could be Jprmefl in short time,

Juniors and Minims wake up from your lethargy t•ncl organize before it is to.o late; follow the example of the Seniors and by the next issue we hope to present your leagues to your many admirers.

'fhose interested in Base-Ball am<>ng the Seniors met last Tuesd~y for the pm:pose of orgauizing a League for the coming se11son. A great deal of enthusiasm was manifested on the occasion, which argued that we may expect some well contesterl game. in t be near future. Messrs. Cusack, Bctll and Roacll were chosen Pres. Treas. anc;l Sec. respectively. Three club$ were selected com­posed of the most expert players among the Seniors. A committee composeJ of the Captains of t!Je respeeti ve clubs was delegated to prepare a schedule of games. Be generous therefore now that you h~ve started and both by your . physical and financi~l make the schem e a grand success. Another meeting is to be held on the 2"/ tb at which time the committee will report.

The Profs. are quietly organizing themselves and feel confident that they can still repeat, "the boys have never beaten and will ne ver beat us." T o prove this they am ready at the first opportunity to cross l)ats with the select club from the Senior.

The following are the d:fferent clubs, with · their officers ;-"Athletics"-Pres. Mr. J ames Cusack ;-Capt. James Roach ;-Treas. Cbas. Ball ;-Sec. Thos. Walsh. "Superiors" Pres. Mr. Patrick Sullivan; Capt. Hugh 0' ~ ei I;-Treas. Dennis Carroll ;-Sec. William Deering. "Slayers" Pre!'!. Mr. J.P. Dore ;-Capt. Ed ward Bennet­te;-Treas. Dan CahiU;-Sec. William Convey.

It has been suggested, and the id.ea is capital, lumi­nous, that the members of St. P atrick's society prepare a, public debate for the entertainment of the students and to be given somfl April or May evening. Such a performance, we think, would be · very desirable and witll some care of preparation eould be made instruct­ive and relishable .

The spread of intellectual fodder on the reading rvom table is sufficient to satisfy the most voracious reader; the huugriest bookwarm. All the publications areexcel­lent, and a propos of one taken up at random, hear the Catholic American. ••Donahoe's Magazine continues to be one of the marvels of American Journalism for the richness of i~ contents and the cheapness of its price. It ha.s in every issue a hundred pages of original and se­lected articles, yet it costs only two dollars a year; nnd not satisfied with its profusion of reading matter it occasionally embellishes its pages with timely illustra­tions. The veteran editor, Pa.trick Donahoe gives the assurance that his peTiodical is making a steady ad van­ce, and because oi his progress all his friends rejoice with him in his joy ."

CELEBRATION OF ST. PATRICK'S.

Among the m:tny pleasures of a catholic school bov's life , are t he feast-day celebrations of the great Sai~ts, aud in thi s respect St.." Patrick's D;ty is second to none. Long before F ebrnary was torn frOil• off the calendnr, the all-absorbing topic of our conversation was St. P <Ltrick's day. The Band and orchestra were practicing soul -inspiring Iri sh airs, which ·resounded through tile halls 1rom morning till night. At last the dny drew ne:l.r and every thi ng was ready to make it a grand success. And so it was.

On 'Wednesday evemng the Thespians presented a drama which was in every respect appropriate and well r endered. The title was, "Tile Duke" or "More Sinned against that sinning." The scene is laid in Ireland and the play po:ssesses a plot of much interest. It rehearses the evil doings of a miserable lund agent and the good actions ol a magnanimous Duke. In tile prologue Bel­haven, the land ngent, prevails upon Squire Hilton, the Duke's fat ller, to disinherit llis son. This the old man does, and the Duke accompanied by his ever faithful Teddy, departs for America. The first acL opens on Bel­haven who is now trying to get the Squire out of tile way so as to gain control of his immense fort une. WiLh the assistance of two smugglers, Riehard Han·ey and Captain De Balzn,c, be is successful. He drugs the old man and bas him carri ed off to a secret cave, there to await Lhe ani val of a slli p, which is to carry him to Normandy.

At tllis t ime the Duke arHl T eddy suddenly return from America. T his, Belhaven considers as H :fiworable circumstance, for be can now fix the guilt cou .rected with the Squire's disappearance o:a tLe Duke, as the re­lations between fat !Jer anc~ son were o"f an unpleasan t nature. The D r1 ke is n,rrested and phcecl in prison. The sceonil act is devoted to the prison scene. Herfl the Duke r eceives visits from his enemy, Belha ven , wllo at­t<ompls to tat~e his life, but is defeated once by the tim e­ly . arr ival of T eddy and aga in by the sudden appear­ance o1 Major Lookout, n, friend to the Duke. Teddy who was in pr ison once for " pulv;hin" a land agent's head diocovcrco a trap door whic!J led to a secret cave. He now proposes to lead tile Duke through this free­dom, if be would but consent to go. At first llc refuses· but T eddy finally persnach's him to effect hi s e cape: T:.ey then make ready t.o clep:lr t. T ed dy removes the hand-cuffs from off t be Duke's wrists and they both clecend. Just as the Duke's head is clisappearin O' tLrou<Th b . 0

t he t rap cloor Belllaven enters and fires. Tile Duke drops and from the cries wllich issue forth from the se.

1 cret pahsage, B.elbaven t hinks1he has killect. hi.s game, As the cur tain goe!' up .for the third act, it di§closes

a den of smugglers who have been hired by nelhaven d . ,u ' . ~? o the oowat·ctly work of carrying off the . quir-e.

I eddy here enters disguised as an old woman. He dis­tributes drugged whisky to the men who aresoor:sound as leep. But Captain lJe Balzac "Wh0 dont <lrink ze wisky but drinks ze vine" is still in .the road. Teddy here .resorts to an "exceedi ngly laughable" l'trata.gem and tn a silort time hal:> De Balzac lying senseless at his feet . He then proceeds to t.ie them all h<:tnd and foot after wbich he departs to find the Squire. The Duk~ then enter5, but finding the men already prisoners he is about to depart when Belhaven cro~:;es his path. They both draw roYolvers and Belhnven attempts to shoot, but bis pistol misses fire. The Duke then has the villain's life in his hands but, magnanimoua as be is, be parctons him. But as soon as •be Duke turns his back the miser­able wretch rushes at him with a dngger and is abont to strike when a bullet from the well-aimed revolver ot Maj or Lookout pierce's the scoundrel's !:;rain. Teddy re-appears with the SqLi ire, who acknowledges he bas committed a g rievious wrong againgt his son anrl rein­states him in his inheritance. The play here ends with a ma.gnifl ccnt tableau. . Though short tbe drama presented many novel and exciting situations, in wbich fu ll -,cope was g iv en furtue yonng aetors to d isplay their abi li ty . Mr. Amb.Granger as the Dnke was an exeellent impersonation of al l geuerons Irish instincts. The pnssior., nobleness and magnani mity of tbe characlet· were well purtrnyetl. Mr. Cieary and Mr. H. L egris, as t ll e Squire :mel Belh r.venrespectively, were quite n.t llome and entirely in thfl spirit of their ru les. Mr. T . Norm oy le as l\1njor Lookout and Mr. \V. Convey in "zc Freud1m <.tn's" leave no room fur criticism · they dict adminrbly . But tho star ot tile even ing w!l~ Mr. J.P. Dor <l as t lte ever fnithful nnd jolly T ed cl y. His entrance un the surge wa;; the :::ignal Jur prolonged app lause. But while mentioning the enterta inment we mn:.t not f,Jrget 1.be ora,tion of tLe dav entitled " A Tri­bute t0 Ireland. '' .For its praise let it suffice to sa.y that Mr. McGavick delivered it and recall the fr·equent n.p­plau~e it excited. Tbe music was also e~pecially appro­priate. T n.king the enter tainment as a whole, it was a perfect success and at. its clo:;e, not a few compliments were bestowed bolh on the amateur actors and young musicians.

As we entered the refectory, tables lade ned with deli­ca<->ies of every S<lrt met our delighted optics. Every one wt down determined to wage war against and defeat Turkey. But it. w~ with a hard tt·ugglc that the feat was accomplished and it was some time bi!fore the ignal was given to cease hostilities. After th~ warfare a speenh was called for and Ex-A ldermar. weeny responded. He spoke for a few minutes on "the day we celebrate'' 11.nil :tfterwards called on Father Pert·y. The Reverend gentleman nrose nnd delivered an excellent eulogy not only on St. Pt~trick, but the entire I rish nation.

'l he signal wns then given to retire. I mmediate­ly the games were resumed and a.gaio engrossed our at. tention and amused us abundan11y during tbe afternoon.

About two o'ci<~Ck, the banil proceeded to the parlor where it erenaded the visitors. After supper an inform­al entertainment WM prep:ued which coo i~ted of song~. speeches, and instrumental mu ic.

PERSONALS. Mathieu-St. Louis-As it was announced in the

Locals of our last issue, J oseph St. Louis, '77, and George Mathieu, '7"1, , have opened a store in partoei'Ship in the booming city of Kankakee. Tiley have the best wishes of their many friends of St. Viatel!r's who tru1<t that Fortune may smile on them and crown their efforts with success. Both these young men have distinguished themselves as clerks heretofore in that sqme·city.

Roy-St. Patri<.:k's dny brought Professor Roy, '86, from Chicago into our midst. He is a.s genial as ever and well plensed with his protession . Chicago is a vMt fielrl in which he can di splay with ad vantage the t !l.leuts with which natu.re endowed him. Ob, tile <:l.utrm of music .

llealy-Lvwe-It was quite a surprise to meet, at the small entertainment of bt. Patrick's night, the beaming· counteuances of our ''fat· west" men, Dan. Healy, '83 , and E lmer Lowe, '82. Both look healthy and strong, no doubt the result of the illvigomting and bracing atmosphrre of the w estero plains. 1ow they could tell in truth of the wonders and ad ventures of the life of early settlers.

Caron-Edward Caron , '84, after an as. iduous atten­dance at the courses of the Chicago College of Phar­macy, graduated from that Institution on the 23ult. We congratulate our friend on the happy result of his arduous endeavors and wish him all success in the future.

Blannhette-The "West'' has tempted and gllined one more family, that of Norbert Blanchette, '83, who quitted his home in ~t. George to go and e W,blish himself along with his fath~::r in Ghent, Minnesota,

where they own quite a tt·act o£ fertile land. They are in a i('lart 0f the State where the Cnitholic Colonization Society of Bishop Ireland is doing its good work for ·the people.

Lookwood-By the la,test, Seth Lockwood, '84; has removed from Marseilles, III., his old home, to Streator where 'he is now occupiecl. We expect to hea.r more £rom biro in the near futme.

Brosseau-Jaspar B1·osseau lately left us to accept a posit:i€>n as clerk in the stor~ of Mr. Kerr of Kankakee. He is at a good school and will no doubt t:ucceed in his a.ims. Our best wishes and encouragement.

Gelino-It will be a pleasure to his many friends to learn that Arthur Gelino, '82, of Kankakee, is pursuing his course o£ studies at the Montreal College, with the Sulpician Fathers. He h:td taken all last ' year to rest himself from hard work and is now feeling well as usual.

Rivard-We hear regularly from George Ri vnrd, M. D., '78. who holds on to his favorite town ofAssomp.. tion. Christ.ian Cotinty, lils. He has of course ·joined the Beneclicts, is the fathet of a livdy little girl, and enjoys the prosperity of a booming business in the line of his profession. He has built a store of late nnd ~ought a farm which tranS!J.Ctions indicate a good financial status. fluch good news cannot come too often.

Murphy-We sympathize with J :lmes and Dave Murphy, '86, who have lately suffered the irretrievable loss of their kin<l mother. Tills leaves tbe family under tile care of J :lrnes wlio . has now taken management of Ids mother's store. May good fortune and all success attend the bereaved f<tmi ly .·

EXCHANGES.

Since the last issue of the JouRNAL,. quite a number of exchanges ba ve accum Jlated on our table. For the mnjor­ity, "Excelsior" appears to be their motto as all, with but few exceptions, are makiJJg quite a noticeable pro­gress in the art of journalism. Indeed, college journal­ism is rapidly rising to the acme of perfection.

With chanty towards all and mallce towards none we prepare ourselves to partake of the rich literary re­paSt that is spread out so temptingly before us. In order not to appear un-gallant we will give the ladies prece-· dence.

Our Canadian friend, the Sun?e(vm,, still continuRs to diffuse its gmial sunshine ov~r the college world. lts fair editors complain of the · non-support and lnck of en­couragemeNt which they receive from their friends in their endea~or to render the Sttnbeam an able.exponent and worthy representative of its Alma Mater. We for­bear further notice until harmony ha,. been r<'..stored a­mong its staff.

The Portfolio next claims our attention. Afteri)pend­ing some time in its perusal the conclnsi_on .forced itself upon us that its editors could make it more interesting artd readable by devoting more of iis columns to orig­in:;Ll ess~ys. Why leave one of the pages blank? If we depended entirely for our sustenance on the literary pro­vender which you ~upply we would soon be reduced to the extremity of a· "dime museum skeleton.'' Perhaps you have taken advantage of the lenten season upon which we have just entered and wish to give your read­ers scanty diet.

Quite a contrast to the Portjoli(l is the Crescent, whose pages n.re well. filled with choice and instructive arti­cles. "A pleasant trip on the wheel,'' judging from what ·was contained of i.t in the Inst issue, promises to prove qnite interesting. We anxiously await the arrival of the next number to see how the young wheel~man wassaved. The essay on ''Promise and Pe:J;formance," although short, contains some truths which not a fevv could advantageously put in practice in their intercourse with men.

The last issue of the Student, representing Cumber­land Univel"sity, was quite commendable in all respects. V\re were well pleased with the Editorial Department, as it is conducted in an able manner. T. W. G. in his essay on the · "Art of Conversation" gives his readers some good advice as to the best means to be employed in the acquiring of proficiency in that .accomplishment. "some of the other productions were well treated and give ev­idence that their authors are no amateurs in the art of Composition.

The Chronicle edited by the students of the North­Western College, holds a prominent placf· among co llege publications. The number before us is replete with choice and instructive articles. Several ot the essays are tar a­bove the average. The one entitled "What is Life," is skillfully handled, and was read with pleasure. We con­gratulate the editors of the Chronicle for the able man­ner in which they conduct their paper.

The Fordham Monthly for February is a breezy num· ber, filled from cover to cover with articles which can­not fail to please and entertain the most exacting. Quite a feature of the J.11onthly are the poetic contributions which fill its pages and which are quite a contrast to ·those usually found in like publications. "Arthur Stew­art,'' a continued article, is interesting and instructive. The character of Callista, the heroine of Cardinal New­man's well known Catholic, novel, receives a careful por­tr::tyal at the hands of J. F. Clare. Such characters when encountered, in the Jields of literature, which to-day are almost choked by the tares and cockle of worldly ideals, are as refreshing to the mind as a bright oasis in the ­desert to the eye of a weary traveller. The Fordham is one of our most valued exchanges.

266 ST. V1ATEUR'S COLLEGE JOURNAL.

C)A1'HOLIC NOTES.

Bishop Lu\'lden lately took possession of his new see in Syracuse, N. Y.

A pilgrimage is. talked of from the Pacific Coast to Rome on the occasion of the Pope's Golden Jubilee.

The feast of St. Thomas of Aquin was duly kept in . all Catholic schools throughout the world on the 7th. of this month. Under the protecting hand 9f Leo · XUI a new P.ra of glory seems to blossom for the Angel of the School.

Rumors are afloat to the effect that the great artist anti no less great writer, J ohn Ruskin, of England, is about to join the Catholic Church. May he follow the 110ble example of the Newm~tns and Mannings.

The ann iversary of the coronation of Leo XIII was solemnly observed in Rome on the 24th. ult. His Holi· ness officiated in the Sistine Chapel and pronounced the benediction on the kneeling throng of prelates, priests, ambassadors and laymen surrounding him.

Major John D. Kieley, of Brooklyn, N. Y. , who or­ganized the first pilgrimage to Rome from this country, has been decorated with the grand cross of the Order of St. Gregory t.he Great by Cardinal Gibbons at the in­stance of the Pope. ·

Bishop Ireland absented himself from Rome to visit in the South of France the colleges where he studied as a boy. What refreshing memories were thus brought back to SO<?the his busied mind.

Archbishop Feehan has estab lished a mission forthe benefit of newsboys and waifs that roam at large in the city of Chicago without homes or care. Rev. Father Campbell has been entrusted with th~ arduous duty of bringing these urchins to this school of virtue and learning. May God bless his labors.

The Catholic Church in. this country maintains over two hund1;ed and twenty-five orphanages and supports over 175,000 dependents, a nmhber o-reater than the

• 0

population of Delaware or Nevada, or o( some o! the T erritories. (Union and Tfmes.) · ·

A monument will be erected at La Prairie Canada . . ' . '

over the grave of the saintly Catherine Tigakwita, an Indian girl who died in the odor of sanctity. The monu­ment is being constructecl in Albany and will be paid for by Father Walworth and his niece, Miss E. H. Wal­worth.

We are so used to hear bad news from France that ':e are lead to think that its government is entire1y mcapable of generous deeds. Such is surely not the case · in regard to the merited honor ·conferred on Sister Mathilda, by insct·il:Jing her name . on tile · roll of the Legion .of honor a nd presenting her with the beautiful eros:< awarded on such circumstances. This Sister has devoted herself for 28 years to work~ of Charity of all kinds. ·

The Republic of Ecuador, · South America, lately ob­s~rved the second centenary oft he origin of the d!)vOtion to the· Sacred Heart in a most religious manne1.·. T·l').e Senate suspcaded Hs sittings on the feast day and . v9ted "an act of gratitude to the Most Sacred Heart the patron of the Rflpub1ie of E c·uador."g Jn t<lil.e ev.en.-ing all Qu.it.o was ilhuninated. . .

'The fatriarch of Armenia is in Rome at this tim:e negotiating to bring back to the tl'ne Church the schis" matic flock entrusted to his· care. He has already suc­ceeded in bringing back whole villages at a time and will no doubt bring many more in the near f.ut:ure. ·

To all appearances the Knights of Labor seem to find fhvor in Rome and their association will not be condemnecl. Carel ina! Gibbons i:s. doing his work .nobly as ever and the workiugmen of this country may J•es.t assured that they have no better friend than the Catholic Church which he represents.

The Right Rev. Agustine Magliore Blanchet, Bishop Gf Nesqually, Washington Territory, died at his home on the 26th ult. This truly apostolic missionary was born in Saint Pierre, Riviere du Sud, in the Province of Quebec, in 1797, so that he had reached the old ~ge of 90. He had been consecrated in Montreal, 1846, tor the newly erected diocese of ·walla-Walla, Oregon. He had beeB relieved of the burden of his work in 1879 by Rt. Rev. JEgidius Junger who replaces him in NesquaTly.

The Church has suffered a great loss in thedeathofone of its most emillent Dignitarief::, Cardina:lJacobini, noted the world over for his skill as a diplomat a nd for hav­ing effected web a happy rapprochement between Prus­sia and the Vatican . TLe illustrious deceaseC:: harl been Secretary of State to the Pope for six years and had ruined his health in the m:nuons work. Born in 1832, he was created Carclinal in 1879 and appointed Secretary of St~te in 1880. He was a short, stout man, with the happiest disposition of mind arid countenance.

On the 17 inst., took place in Rome the Consistory at which the red hat was conferred on their Em incnces, the Cardinals Gibbons and Taschereau, of America. The­scenEl :was a grand one, enhanced by the splendor of the many beautiful costumes of Prelate~, Ambassadors and othe~ Dignitaries from all climes, united tGgether for the S?l_emn occasion around the throne of his Holiness Leo XIII.

H <!W. often have we not heard, . the pusillanimous manifestations of fear of some bigots who keep crying_ that if this country ever beco,;ues Catholic it is clone' with our repuhlican Instituti~ns and: government. As a .sure cure for theirmorbid chronic trepid~tioJJs we beg them consi?er the few signific,ant figures whicb follow: . There are m the world 20 Repuqlics,, 2 of which are Pr?t~stant and 18 Catholic;:; and ~1 Monarchies; .1 0 of whJCh are Pr·otestant ·and 7' Catholic, the 4 otbe1·s being of different religions.
