WANDA.

I trust the few who will have the moral courage to react this compou nd wi ll not be stunned, too .comp letely paralyze<1, at, perceiving that th e per[.'etrator of this sketch has read Guida /- Ouid::t is very wi cked at times. Sbe is ob, so out-spoken-she says everytlling she thinks, but does not fo r all thnt deserve the med al for candor or na'ivete, for she sometimt-s thinks very wicked things. Of the f emmes ctuteul's, as Louis Ve uillot calls them, who brlVe late ly crowded all literary walks she is perhaps the moi>t ab le and attract iv e, and at the same time tl1e most slangy aud obscene. This is decid ~dly strong. Maurice Egan, after wading with her through the sl imy, shallow writers of L ond on hig h life pronoi.tces her a vile old writing hack. Yet even while slle is deserverlly accounted a very unsafe writer because of her pronounced realism, she sometimes pens pages which one might attribute to Engenic cle G uerin, to L adY Full erton or even to a Cathol ic clivine.

I opened this hook at the instance of a friend who is

no raslt judge in matters literary, and who recommended me Wanda, not as a most ed ifying, hut as a readahl~ and an entertaining novel. I have Just finished the last page and am not scandalized yet. As the novel is in the main descriptivfl of Catholic nobility, one very strik ing chnrac teristic of th e opus is the author's close a.cq uaintance with c~ctholi e subjects, Cath olic hooks, asceti c writers, church eerem onics, and even theology nil th e Lhings she handles as freely as one bo rn and reared a, Cath:;lic. This is so mething noteworthy aL l ea~ t. It is as grati!Y in g ::ts it is unexpected.

The sty le of the work is not brilliant, but iL is ensy, and here and there qnite elegant, sometimes spirited in di alogues; the prevailing tone in what I believe is called the dramatic element, is ol the tranquil kind. This nove l, unli!~e others by ~be s::tme writer, is pretty tllOroughly English as regards diction. Th ere yet creep in . several French and Germ::tn bans mots-ur1translateabl e of course--whi ch send one to the table of foreign idioms. In this respect however, Wanda is not so cens urab l ~, so ('iisagreeable as Under Two Fla,q s whicll, on account of its too great proporti.on of French camp-jargon, I found almost unintelligible and, because otherwise unedifying, I relegated to a merited shelf.

I confess I am not enough of a literary seer to foretell what a destiny awaits Wanda in the uncertain future. It is not my impression howev er, that it has enough of the unclying in it to traverse many ages. It wi ll be read for some time anrl will please no doubt.; th en it will in all likelihood, as many· others of its class, pass into great Ob li vion with tht3 venerable .formula

''M01·itu1·e te Sahttamus JN Shall I in a few words reconnt you the story M I careless ly turn over the leaves ?-The prologue takes ns away into an obscure Hu ssian vil lage whereas Prince Zaborof voyagi ng southward t o marry his fiancee is obl iged to stop to get his carriage wheel mended. \Vhile the !'lo w northern smith is plying llis dull tools tlle pro ud visitant sp<mds his impatienc e in surveying the very prosaic snrrounding. A singular ind ividu al was this Prince. bo immensely rich that he ignored that even now be was. in one of his very own estates whi ch be llad not visitt;d for years. Just hS he was to bid this obscure place a longer1 for farewell, a t all dark figure seen it{ the distance came rapidly towards him. It was old Maritza, great-grandmother to a little boy whom she canied along wiLh her.

Breathle!>S almost, she approaches the proud Prince and confides to him the little orphan wilom she persuades him is his own ill egitimate son. The Prince is f0rced to recollect and to own his own, promises to have the child cared for-and goes. A month later a stranger appeared at Maritzas cabin where the little boy Vassia played with his r~worite bear cubs. He announcetl that

'the master desired Vassia should be taken t o som e school out of Russia.,The boy, much tQ hi s regret was sent to a famous college near P a ris. H e proved a successful pupil, being keen witted. I~Ie howev er hated authority , and longed for his bear cubs and the cool waters of the Volga. One day Vassia was call ed rn by his tutor that his protector had rlierl sucll1enly~ Vassia was therefore left upon the world, penniless. He could no longer stay at college. Morirza had died. What would he do? He walked to Paris and we loose sight of him through the dusty thoro ughfares, the crowds, the glaring lights of the great gay capital .... This is merely the prelude and serves as · a keystone for the denouement of t)le plot. ,.

Here then the story b egins a nd runn eth thus. Once upon a time .i\iarqnis Rene de Sabrans having obtained the great K:1iser's permision to hunt in the Austrian Alps had ~;•..-:u1dered far into the solitude of Hollenszalras Castle; he had just levelled his rifle at a vulture paEsing overhead when he was seized as a poacher by the attendants of Countess Von Szalras, and was abont to bA excuted or at least severely punished when she granted him grace upon his promising that be wonld not shoot on her preniises. He had been highly incensed at . the indignity offered him. Still he had admired the young Countess. She too bad found something remarkable in · the stranger, a wonderful fascination she could 11ot for- ·. gat, thongh she would .... In his eagerness to leave these forbidd en woods th e Marquis endeavored to cross a neighboring lake, and being overtaken by a storm was o n the point of d rowning when be was rescued by the co nnt€ss and h~r men, taken in and cared for. During ll is l!hort stay he became known, tllrough Herr Greswold's conv erse, as the editor of the "Mexico" and consequently as a man of sc ience. He pro ved by no means disagreeable company even for the noble ladies themselv eR. 'When recovered , be left ' wi th many cordial expressi ons of grat i tud e.

The Countess Wan(la loved her life of soli tude amidst her grand native moun tains, and meditated no g reater bliss, it seemed than to spend her years in happy, quiet · communi on with her sim ple people, her books, her exerc ises of piety, her wa lk;; and rides through her silent · woods. She shunned company,, above all th at of the (·ourt; all the brilliant charm s of society were nothing to her though slle had nobility, she had beauty ancl talent and every acco mplishment to entiLle her to a first rank in all the circles of the great. She wor;;hipped the memory of her r1ead brother Bela who bad been her mos~ intimate and lov ei companion from childhood. Yet she r emembered the French M arqu~s. Her aged aunt, Princess Attil1ie, an ex-abbess, often sought to persuade her to marry the gay visitor, but it seemed to no purpose.

49

One evening word w as brought -by the servant that the stranger dismissed some days before had met with another serious accident in the mountains and was now ly ing in a very precari ous condition in a miserably small inn . All poss ible help was despatched, and as SOOll as he was able tnmoveabouttheconvalescing traveller wns taken to a little Augustinian monastery on Holy Isle, right op posite the Castle and across the Szalrassee in whose waters the foreign gentleman had before very nearly lost his life. De Sabrans fo nnd the n.onastery a peaceful retreat from the dissipated life of the Boulevard to which he was acc ustomed. Whilst there Ll1e Countess Wanda after much discussing with aunt Attillie consented to have him invited over to the Castle. He went .... By and by the little boat crossed to the Castle twice a day . The Marquis was a <·harming conver,ationalist., an equally excellent musician and artist, and talked intelligently upon subjects ofscienceand literature, music and art. They visited her schools, her lands and the peasantry, and often rode together ....

His religion-well, he had none. All the Szalras had been from remote antiquity staunch Catholics, and the prese,Jt countess, the last o£ her noble race, was true in every respect to the faith of her ancestors. She in her practical, logical and christian good sen<>e counselled de Sabrans who had been a desCEuvre, an idler of Paris, to take up some occupation worthy of his talents. Be goes, then, promising to obey.

An unexpressed sentiment of mutual admiration alw::tys remains between him and the Countess. She makes inquiries as to the character of one who at first seemed to her a mere adventurer and she becomes convinced that he is a descendant of an ancient family of Norman nobles, wl1ose sole estate, however, consisted of an alm ost valueless strip of sea shore with a few wintlt ossed trees and poor fish ermen.

Wanda had an ardent admire in her cousin, Prince Egon, a brilliant soldi er and magnificent noble. But, much as she esteemed him for his ma11y admirable qualities, she eo uld not bring berselfto love him, and consequently refu sed to marry him. Meanwhile it was seen by the papers that Marquis de Sabrans who had returned t o Paris, was gaii.t blin g heavily and had broken the bank at Monte Carlo .. ..

At this period of t he story a new personage a r elativ e of the ·szalras, Madame Olga Brancka, of a noble Russian family co mes upon the scene. She at once appears as capable of mu ch mischi ef-whieh she will no doubt achieve. She is not at all of Wanda's persuasions and find s the "Austrian recluse" too middle-age-like .... A good deal o£ the y arn here unravels .. .. De Sabrans is invited t o a ttend an imperial reception at Szalras Castle but Cftnnot come O!". account of his late election as deputy to the French Chamber. There came a change

Snbrans hnrl brought them in person, but he ha•l a.lrenrl y gon e. She in her goood sense could not help ex elaiming "What knight errantry!"

Prett y soon the war between France and Prussia breaks out. De Sa brans nobly upholds his contry's honor eve n against th e fri enrl s a nd reln.tions of ·wanda. H e fi ghts bravely, but be is betrayed into the hands of the Pl'llssia.ns through the malicious and revengeful mayhinations of a former fl.:une of his, by name Cochonette, not at all ca.noni~ ab l e, and jealous of his at tenti ons to the Austrian lady ...

W ASHlNGTON IRVING.

It is seld om we find combined in a sirJ_gle individual the

s~ntimentality

of the .oss:tyist, the trutllfulness anrl of the historian and biographer, and the wit and esprit requisite for a humorist,-yet such is the grand. total summed up in the versatilegeni11s -ofWashington Irving. All these has he displayed in his varion::; WJrks,-llistorical, bh•graphical, narrative, and hnmorous,-displayed in such a rare profusion -that the vast army of English and American readers through the mouth of the critics vote him to tbe foremost .ranR: -of American prose-writers.

The subject pf this sketch was boJ'l1 in the ci~y of New York in the year 1783. He attended a gram.nmr school for a few years; at the early age of ,-jxteen began to read B lackstone and other legn.l antbors. His ill hea!Lh soon obliged him to tear himself away from his studies and seek recuperation in the cou11try. He <iecided on an European tour, on which he started in 1804.

His departure must have been a happy day for him, if we can believe his acr.ount of himself, for he says;..,;_ "I was always fond of visiting new sce.ries, and of observing strange characters and manners." Whil~ yet a, boy "my holidays were spent in rambles arotmd tl:i~ neigh">oring country ..... My native country was full of youthful promise; Europe was rich in accuin ulated treasures of ages." Can you not imagine him, rearler, of a summer evening, when the moon casts forth. her first silvery beam and the stars peep from their hiding places,- can you not imagine him throwing aside some favorite book of : ravels or history, and in a paroxysm of eager desire, exclaim : "Visit for me, 0 fair moon, tho~e jewels which adorn the bosom of dis:acc~'racy

While abroad visited the principal countries and made prolonged visits in the various c:.pitals. It was whiie at London that he galher~<l the notes on which he expMclecl in his Sketch Book. He remained ~broad about two years, after which he r eturnee! and in tile partnership of his hrother and Mr. P aulding edited the the Salmag undi, a humorous paper afterwards publisheel in book t<wm.

He was but twenty six when he gave the reading public his If{~tory of N ew York, by Nickerbockel'. The Iiist01"y, one of the choicest pieces of refined hnmor in our literature, is a parody on the early settlement of -New York by the Dutch.

But not till 1820 did be produce his Sketch Book which will ever stand sy nonymous with his name, the ' cnrner stone of his f'tm<~. This little volume con.tains thirty-three papers, descriptive, sent imental, and humorous. In th ese essays nnd tales he has almost surpasserl l1ims.;lf by his richness aJl(l elega11ce of diction in some, in others with an irresistible power he draws tears to the reader's eyes, and in a few, 'm idst the irrepressible gusts of arim iration, causes jolly pe~ls of laughter to burst forth . Through this work hi s name will ever be inseparably linked with Ichabod Crane of Sleepy H ollow and Rip Van Winkle of the Catskill mountains, whose quaint and humor0us histories he has related with a mast.erly pen. .In 1822 he publish~d Brace-br·id,qeHall, and two years later Tales of a Travelle·r . '!,'he former does ample credit to his latent genius but, in the latter he has fallen far below his standard. Af~e r the appearance of these works lle again went abroad and rem a ined for some time in idleness, when we find him writing to his brother that be feels lone<>ome without his pen and intends to resort to it again. The re~ult was his History C?/ the LY'e and _ Voya,qes of Colwnbus, and later the Voya,qes of the companions of Columbus. Of these t wo tl1e style is engaging, the facts for the most part accurate, but he has singularly failed " in bringing horne to the reader the spirit of faith which animated the breast of the great discoverer, wbicL in~pired him with the zeal to begin and the patience to prosecute his mighty design."

In 1830 he was presented with a thirty-guinea gold medal by the Lond on Royal Society of Lite!:'ature, and, as he himself remarks, what made it more flattering was that a similar medal was presented at the san:;e time t o - Henry Hallam.

Before returning for the last time to America he procured the material for two more elegant works which were t o add new laurels to his already verdent wreath,

be

these works were the Conquest cif ,c;ranada and the AlhmnbTa, both treating of the ancient Moorish kingdom. There runs through the form er a pleasing mixture of facta and legends and it is written with a floridity and magnificence which harmonizes most gracefully with the rom antic scenes described. In some of his other works we are forced to admire Mr. Irving's noble scorn at the insu Its and ignominies heaped upon the monks ·by other writers, bnt, alas, here he himself bas fallen into a vein of irony against those holy men, for which it ~eems hard to account in his impartial nature.

Pref'cott bas not less beautifu lly than truly called his Alhambra the "beautiful Spanish Sketch-Book."

In his later clays, when nestled ~osily away at "\Vo )!fort's Roost," he wrote the following works, though none of them appr:Jach in beauty or wit his former compositions. Astona, an american tale; Abbotiford

and Newsteady Abbey, L e,qencls cif the Conquests of S1Jain, Adventures of Captain Bonneville, W oolfort' s Roost, L ife of Golclsntith, Mahomet and his SuccesStJrs, partly true and partly fictitious-; nnd finally his Life of Washin,c;ton which he had in view betore he left Europe the last tim e. Irving died in 1859, after the Psalmist's limit of three score and ten" .bad passed ligMly over hia head. A plain marble slab with his · name and date of death marks his grave in the old burying-ground in T arrytown, and "the path which leads to the entrance gate o£ the plot is so worn by the feet of visitors that a stranger need hardly look for his way to the place."

Mr. Irving was always a man of retired habits, indulging little in public life, of which he has avowed his hatred on many occasions. He has satarized ameri can politics most vigorou,sly in the Salmagundi under the pseudonym of Rub-a.dub Keli Rohu, and when the Government tried to press him into office he refused many times and finally accepted the mission to Spain only because he wished to gather materials for his many works on that country. His favorite nest was the deli ghtful country villa, Sunnyside, where "the waves of the Hudson lapped the shore at his feet.'' That he loved the easy .going invigorating rural life is apparent from the esprit of his works where he always speaks so beautifully of country life. "It leads a man forth a~id the scenes of natural grandeur and beauty; it leaves him to the workings of his- own mind, operated upon by the _ purest and most elevating of external influence!)." A lover of the country he conformed himself to its habi~, every morning he was up at least by six o'clock unwilling to lose the hest part of the day,-a sunri&e on the Hudson. He always lived somewhat frugally at his cottage, which, though attractive, was not - extravagant, and his study only contained a table, a chair, and his few books around the wall.

He was a delightful convers,ttionalist, and words and

DIAMOND TIPS.

The maiden llffort of the Shamrocks was a good one.

Belen who pitched last year for Kankahe has signed with the In<lianapoli L eague Nine.

We failed t 'J notice in the lnst game the stalwart form of our old first baseman Mr. McGavick. His score generally stood in B .se Ball-all ehanl!es accepted and D'• error -we wish him the arne success in his new field of labor.

Patrick Sullivan, ~1ptain aJHl catcher of the Sham r ocks, did some fine work in yesterday's game. H e seems to be perfectly at home "behind the bat, and a bnll need not try to lip past him if he cares to take it in.

(Kfillkakee Daily Tim es.

Hilaire Lesage, whose left arm is badly burt, did good hatting yesterrlny, and had the sympathy of t.he spect:ttor:l. T hey universally wished him success when he took up the hat.

The l;t. Ignatiu ' Club were <lelighte1l with the reception th ey were accorrlerl and expre sed themselves highly pleased with the College and its urroundings. After the game tLey visited. the Acndemy of Notre Dame.

Bdore le:wing for home they promised us a game in tbe near future; if so, a good game c:m be looked for.

tion of the day and a Getailed account of the entire ex erci es.

J ohn on and Macauly are the subject of a very clever comp..'\ri· on in 'o. 17 of the N iagara I ndex. " A Description" is a neat piece of composition and reflect..~ gre..'\t credit on the writer. He thu prettily speaks of the little fl.vwer 'H ow beautiful above all are the fresh flowers l Wllat a charm they give to the SP.ason ! How mode tly they droop their h ads at eve, as if to be fanneLl by the pa sing breeze and refreshed by the falling dew !"

"A Plea for crank " in tlle t . P aul I-Iigh S chool ·w orld, for fay is a decided ly reli hable e say and ranks far beyond anything in the current or any ot.her number we have een for orn e time. The typogrophical make-up of thi s little monthly is very tasty, on the whole, outside of the Boston Stylu , we think it the neate t. T he Exchanges a t·e always dished up in a palat.'l.ble manner, the editorials on the contrary drop a trifle below par. \Ye w~::re not a little surprised lately to r ecieve a welcome visit from the B ath any Collegian, which has not put in an appearance since the early part of this term . "Preparation of a speech" is a very practical article, "Ursula.'' we were not tempted to read as we were not aquainted with the six preceeding chapters, but we read with genuine pleasure "The N e w South.'' This 1ft a picture, of tlle Sou th after the war and its wonderfu l progress, the patriotism of the writer waxes warm at time and he gives us in addition to bare facts some graceful and harmonious periods.

Our old triend from Georgetown College, The Journal, is on hand again. Th e essay on "Adona1s" is good but " Is be a great P oet'' is better. What we like most about t his paper is the exchange column. It certain_ ly reflects great credit on the compiler, who evidently knew what be was say ing in the following: It is the Duty of an exchange ed itor to point out. the defects in his exchange n.s well as to 1'how the beauties they con tain. His object in criticising should be the improvement of the paper eriticized.Grcat then sho uld be his saLisfaction when he sees his criticisms have not heen in vain.

We have ' received the following exchanges which we have found on the whole very entertaining: Boston Stylus, Ha nilton Colle,ge Monthly, Cumberland Stndent, Rambler, Xorth teestern College Chronicle, Notre Da 111 e Sclwla :tic, I nvestiga.tor, Kalmnctz•Jo College I ndr:r, Su11bea.m, University Monthly, Blackburman, Torch, South Carolina Collegian, Acade-rnian, St. Xavier's Collegian, Musical Courter, Supplement, Mus ,ical R eview, Peddie !Mtitute Chronicle, Audubo-n Magazine, The Citizen, Illini, Kunkel's Musical R eview, L e O.:mvent, Le Fmnr;ah~, The Aclelphian, L ittle Crusader, The Crescent, Ave Maria, etc. etc.

CATHOLW N OTES. The mont.h of June -is especially consecrated tv honor the Sacred heart of ,Jesns.

H ence every night brings us arounrt th e alta4· of God to hear a few w'()rds of d evotiou in honor of Lhht lleart which b:1s lov e<l men so much.

T he Gn tholics of Germany lately ~ -e l e brat ed the "dimnoncl" jubilee of the ordination of Bishop l3:mdry, a nxi liary of th e Archuishop of Cologne. Sixty years of pr iesthood is in ch'ecl a wond er.

St. Fl'~tn c is Semi{1ary, la tely estftb lisherl in Mich. , was a fftvo rite instit ntion of Bishop Borgess. l-I e gave to it bi s magnificent li br:wy of 7,000 rare an d v aluable volu mes. lie has resigned his see.

The num erou s ftdmirers of the Nun of Kenmare will be rejoi ced to hear that shR is fast recove rin g from the cru el sickn ess which has held her sufferin g for the past :year. She i~> now at the H ome uf Peace, J ersey City, N . J. Cardinal Gibbons arriv ed home on .Tune U, having set sail from Europe on Sunday, May 29. The distinguished Prelate comes back more glorious than ever in the estimation o£ hi.;; devoted cu ild!·en or' the Un ited States.

Italy has los t a great journalist in the recent death uf Rev. G iacomo Margotti of t!Je Untta Cattolica, of Turin. Born in 1823, anrl a graduate of the University · of Geneva in 1845, this di stinguish ed man C!evoted his lifetime to fight the revolution ' und er all its forms.

The Catholi c Young Men's National Uniun held its thirteenth annual Convent ion in New York and 260 delegates were present, representing 74 parish societies from the dioceses of Albany, Boston , Brooklyn, Brtltimore, Cincinnati, P!Jilaclelphia, Providence, Charleston, Cl eveland, Trenton, Newnrk, Ogden ~burg, Bufntlo, Scranton, Chicago, Milwaukee and N e w York. · In a recent Convention of the Catholic You11g Men of France, Cornte Albert De Mun pronounced :m :1 ll ocu tiou worthy of the great Catholic that be is. His eloqu ent words burn with zeal and devo tion to the Ch urch, and his hope in the future b less ings thai t!J is Holy Mother will confer on all peoples is truly admirab le.

A few ofthe master-pi eces ofGu-3tave Dore's paintings arc now ex1~osecl at. Atwood's Clothing Store, corner of Clark and Madison, ~o Lh e a<'! miratio.1 of all lovers of that most beautifu l art. "C hrist leav in g the Prretorium,., ''Christ's Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem," "The Dream of Pilate's Wife," and "Tlie Marty rs of the Culiseum,'' all indicate the tonch and the iuspiration of a master and of a Catholic.

The great Convention of the Catholic Order of Foresters, of the State of Illinois, recently terminated, ql10ws a wonderfu l in cre:•.se in the membersuip of that

soci;.~, l body. The Forest.ers now number 4,000. In the last sixteen months $32 ,000 were given out to the -heirs ofthe 32 members who di ed in that space of time.

What good does not this effect!

Ordinations took place to-day, June 4th, in the Catbertral of the Holy Name, Chicago, Archbishop Feehan officiating. From the college the following, gentlemen rece i vecl Orders : Mr. Hogan Priesthood; Messrs McGa vick, B~1rry, Mngan, and Therien, Deaconsbip; Messrs Finn, Gr~nger, and 0 ' Bden, Minor Orden~; Mr. Cusack, Tonsure. On next saturday, June 11, the fi"Jll ow ing gentl emen will receive priesthood, Messrs l\1cGa.v ick, Barry, Mugan, and Therien.

It is conso ling to notice such a report as tbat of the a.ssocinLion ot the Adoration Nocturne, "N1:ght Ad01·ation,'' ofMontr_e al, Canada. This little society, modeled after the ex:• mple of many o£ the kind in Bdgium and France, consists of 160 men who take their turn to come and adore the Blessed Sacramen t in the huge church o£ Notre Dame,. Montreal, whi le the rest of the city is buried in sleep, forgetful of God. The women take to themselves the day adoration, so that the Blessed Sacn>.ment is never a lone from year to year.

Bishop Keane intends to visit the University of Strasburg, A lsaue, on his way home. It appears that he will not separate himself from his flock h efore the University of W ashington is so completed as to requi re his continued labor. Ht> will visit many more institutions in Europe so as to become fMniliar with their regulations. a nd also to take note of the build ings, etc.

It ~ppears that Dr. McGlynn has beeu notified £rom Rom e that if he does not appear there before a certain space of time has elapsed, he will incur the penalty of excommunication by name, which excludes a per:'>On from the Church in such a manner that no one cn.n have any relation with her without incuring censure. Let us hope that this poor man may yet awt;ke to a sense of his position and danger.

Lent was the scene of a wonder she Florence durin(]' t:> had never witnessed since the days of the great Dominican preacher, Sa vanorola. During all that holy sen.son, Padre Ap:ostine de Montefelto held the pulpit and preached thirty-two sermons 1,0 a multiturle of 7,000 r egularly assembled to catch the words of consolation and encouragement that flowed from his burning heart. He preached tor the laborers especially, and all his endeavors were to show them the dignity of their state of life as working men. During t.he last serpwn, such was the enth usiasm of the hearei·s that tuey unconsciously broke o~t into an applause. The priest quelled them; bnt no sooner had he ended his sermon than three salves of applause shook the building to its foundations.
