THE CULTIVATION of histrionic art is, among others, an excellent means of self improvement. And even if it he not practiced with a view to the stage profession, its actual benefits are manifold. It developes in a young man not only the external gr~ ce s of a correct and diseng11ged address, but also a facile and distinct pronunciation as well as a better sense and a more intelligent r elish of the drnma itself.

TH.ANKS TO the activity ofthe students as well as to the encouragement and incitem ent of the Professors, the severa l societies, literary, mn~icn.l , drama tic, atllletic or otherwise, are not on ly. organized, but already a nd regularly a.t their n~sp e ctive busin ess. LifP., activity, progress, these are t he laws of organized ' bocties fl.nd we - want to see our societies not merely vegetate, but wax strong and achieve grea.t things in the ir h n mb le spheres. ·well ord ered developement is everywhere interesting :wd beneficial, and nowhere more w than in the mine~ a nd heart, to say nothing of the ad vantages of a healthy phxsi que. The purpose of our societies is to further evolve the physical and intellectual poss ibilities of our being", by taxing us indi vidu ally more than our ordinary classes require.

*** ONE PECULIARITY oft.he boys this year is that they are not only willing, hut they !Lre anxious to be members, and aetive members too, of the societies, to share their udvantnges ItS well as their ex tra labor, ::mel vice versa.

THE DRAMA as one of the liberal arts, may be consid ered a safe gauge of a people's rosthetic sense, that is, its sense of the beautiful, the ludicrous, the sublime, the passionate, am! in a word, the most expressive in langunge, be it prose or poetry. People may be looked upon as more or less cultured according a.s they have de vel oped a delica.te a.nd correct taste in things dramatic and hg,ve become appreciative of the best plays only. But !::efore one becomes susceptible of the refined eujoyment derived from the drama, bfv must previously ha ve acq uired a certain knowledge of human nature, of the dark workings of human passions; he must be fairly famili ar with general hi5tory and he must moreover he sensible of the finer g races of sty le. The acquisition of all th ese requisites necessarily evo lv es the individu al :lnd refines him.

* ** TO US STU DENTS, seekers ,after intellectual goods the remarkable address of Rev. Father Agnew to the Chicago Library Association , comes with very particular interest. It leHves us with a higher irlea of our own pursuits, the acquirement of science, the unfolcting, in a word, of all the nobler faculties of man-attainments which are often underrated in this our age of "steel rails and railway steals."-"Let your existence,'' says the Rev. speaker," be a sou lfu l, mindful protest again st the. materi ali :~ect, sonll @Ss progress ot th~ ttge."

ST. VIATEUR'S COLLEGE JOURNAL.

SLAVERY-ITS-WAYS AND BY· WAYS. Of all the ills thn,t humanity has fa ll en heir to tllere se~ms non~ so utterly degrading to mao\; digni ty, so

r ev olting to our sense of justice and fraternity, as the curse of servitude, S lavery. It is not unknown to us, ·u 11 fortu nat•!ly; we too. though Americ:tns, ba ve all owed this monster to Ja nJ on vu r shores nnd disgrace the :tnnflls of our otherwise glorious history. The late war, lt owever, as yon all !mow, bas blotted it fore ver from our midst. . .

TI.J.e Slcwe1·y question is one of absorbtng mterest to the student, of history and cannot fail to intercl't any one who claims to be well inform ed. To trace up, therefore, the origin of t~is execrable institution, its prodigious arowth and ramifyings amongst all • nations .• t:> even the most cultureCI, its effects upon soetety, 1ts aboli tion lJy the Catholic Church, cannot prove otherwise than most entertaining as well as instru ct ive.

In the first place, admitting the authority of thegreat St. Augustine on the origin of slavt:>ry we learn that it had not its cause in nature, as it was enoneously supposed by many grave philosophers of ancient times and was held by many eminent modem thinkers, but that it bad its cause in sin, in malediction; that it was a scourge sent down by the Almighty just as war, pestilence, famine, and other misfortunes of the kind.

This is wht~t the snge of Hippo says:- "Thus we do not fi11•l the worcl Slave in the Script ures before the clay when the just man, Noah, imposed it as a punishment to his guilty son; whence it follows that this word came from sin anrl not from nature."

In the second place if we look into the history of the Ancients we shall find that slavery reigneCI everywhere.

Inf:wts were abandoned, the sick and the old neglected, in a worCI, barbarity and cruelty were carried to tho highest degree, as they were sustainecl by the force of arms.

In the census of Athens at one t.ime there were counted 20,000 citizens and 40,000 slaves. Pl>tto tells us that it was necessary that slaves should not be of the same country a11d that they shoul l1 differ as much a:, possible in manners and ways, because there were so ma.ny, that great c1·ils might he a.ppr~hendoct. At Rome, there number wa3 such that when at one time it was proposed th at they should wear a distinctiv e dress, the proposition was rejected at once, through fear that if the slaves knew their number they might rebel and th ns endanger the safety of the republic. There were many masters who counted there lu ckless beasts of bm·d en by hundreds; they considered it a high honor to have the greatest number. It is s::~.id that a certain woman had so m:tny, that on one accas ion she gave four hundred to her sou as a present.

0

Slav es were considered as brutes, and these they were condemned to replace. Masters bad the right of life o:r death over them; and this is the reason why there was so much blooclshecl, :o.o many of these poor, ignorant people were massacred like vile animals. It seemed even a pleasure for some of those cruel and undeserving .masters to submit tbeir slaves to the most inhuman tortures. Just for their's and th ere friend's amusement very often rich masters obliged them at Rome, to fight the wild beasts of the Amphitheatre and to tnke pn.rt in suoh lJn.rbarous sports as often ns their masters desired to be amused. The thought is revolting: on one occasion four hundred of them were put to death, merely because one or some (,f them ha<l murdered their master and could not be discovered. I will not try to enumerate any more of those bloody horrors which took place in those times,. because it would be an endless and a sorry task; but I will say this, that their inhumanities are more attributa~le to lt he system of vio l,m ce, outrage and contempt wbicb then obtained, than to the viciousness of the slave~ themselves. The same ' happened in our own Negro colonies. History but r epeats itself.

Let us now, if you will, consider t.he aboliti on of slavery by the Catholic Clntrcb. It was no slight tas~, we shall see, in such a state of things, to n proot slavery, to reorganize families and society, and to give new life and courage to individuals. No one, lwwever, will doubt that the Church had the greatPst share in the aboliti on of slavery. Mr. Guizot him self, though a Protestant, acknowledges the telling influ ence of the Catholic Chur(·h against slavery. "No one doubts that she (that is tiHl Catholic Church ) struggled ebstin ately 3gninst the vices of the social state; for example, ngainst slavery."

'Ve see that it was so deeply rooted in the laws, ideat~ and interests, public a nd private, that it would not have been a wise thing to undert~ke its over. throw in one single blow. If mad attempts had been •nade in the beginning, chaos alone would have resnlterl, and it is more tbnn probable that if. successfu l attempts had been made towards their immediate li beration, the slaves themselves would have preferred to remain in the hands of thei r masters for a little time longer and receive t.heir food and raime.n t rather than go and jump at once into the wide and spacy bark of "Liberty" and for the present moment not have enough to sustain there lives.

Because the first thing that, in this material world, men must and co nsequently will look for is the wherewith to li ve. But liberty, though an inestim~1ble prerogative, .is however by itself O:Jiy a meagre substitute for brearlrmd butter. Even the most enthusiastic sans-culotte could not subsist on mere liber-te. Mor.eover in the case of these supposed newly enfranchised slaves, liberty mi ght and no clonbt wonld prov~ dangerous where it at once surrendered into the ltands of such b\wgry

We learn also by a counc il held in the ye:trs 451 or 45G, that some of t he ~ lergy wislled to procme t he liberty ot captives by includin g them t o run awn.y. But tl:Je t;ounci l checked this ancl saill tlint those who wished to ranwrn slaves s hould do so with theit own mou ey.

Thus we sec that slavery was in the beginning; born of erime 1 as the Scriptures ten.ub ; or arose from misfortune, poverty or d efeat in war. 'IVe sre how it was uHiversally pnwtieed by all anuient nations; hCiw clark and comfortless were the li ves of s lav es in Lllese tim es an d how their first g leam of em<ln cipatio n came from Cal" vary Heights, .

I have brieiiy shown you what has been the policy of the church towards this iltstitution, and what the protection s l1e a t a ll times accorded tue poor slaves.

By her diffusion of humane ideas people learned torespect the ri ghts of their equals aucl it was throug h this powerful lever, or force of ideas, tbs.t she was enabled to remove one of the ehief obstaclei:> to man's happiness and t o blot forever fr om the fac e of the earth what hnc1 been a sore stain on civili~ation.

A TRIP FROU NEW YORlt TO QUEENSTOWN. Queenstown, lreland, Sep. 1, 1887.

Dear Mr. Editor; As our ship moVed from the harbor ; the pnssengers in little g rottps oft1vos and three,, stood aroun d on deck waving their han dkerchief at their friends on shore. This demonstration of Jr,rewell wus 1 howevCJ', of s!Jort (htration; for in a few moments the clocks, shore and ftiends were fhst receding from view.

"Ou t ofsigbt ontof m in d" is certainl y true of passengers on board n ship ; for scatc()Jy have they said the 1:-i st farewell >vben the af'ter scenes and sigi1ts of the outer harbor Cftpti vates the eye anrl mind. So it w·as with us.

What d o yo u call this place ? vVhnt is that? 'IVb ere is the stattie of liberty? and the l ike q uestions tltat are being heard on all sides. The greatest ellthus iasm Heems to preyail. Still the eye becomes wearied ancl the miml L 1tti g ned. Tllen the shoi·e ancl Lbe lets I; sp eck of hnd 0:1 every sid e \li.snppenrs entirely from om view 1 we arc a lone city on th e deep. Tbe green waves roll beneath our feet and tbe blue sky is calm over our heads. Night sett,les <10wn u po n the deep atHl at ten o'clock t lt e order is gi vcn f'or nll to tetire, and the great sen rocks tis to sleep. The following morning there is a sad news; the det:k is so strewn wit.h sic-k th:1.t one would imagine, wllen walking up and down, thn.t he was p:-~ssing througll the corridor of some lnrge

But the same evening told the diffe t'ence, for those who were sick in the mornilltJ; wt-re qnite well in the even ing, t hey were blit the tossed -victims of the sea, t l1e sickness of which is more easily fe lt tbn.n expressed. It is however intense; but generally of shod\ duration. It comes and goes quiclret' t han any other siclmcss and catises ltiure ft nnoyance in a day than . an• 0ther sidmess cou ld produce in a week.

But sea-siekness alone exceptcdl tb el'e seems to be a, charm i11 every tbing at sea and one is delighted to see here and there some of t!Je inhabitants of the deep, Porcuses were the .first to salu t e us; they spbslied the water on every sirle nrotmti the ship contencling V\·ith one anothet' fot tlte o:!Tal which il> thrown from the steamer. 'l'hey are many thc tisnnd s in mi m her and are of con~ sic'lerable size rueasming in length abotit nine feet and proportionally stout. Tbey follow a ship to r several hotlrs but they nre entirely lw rin !Pss. "A whale, a; whale!'; sot1nds thtough the d eck , and th e nwrting t o• wards th e ptc>w indicates that the whnle is before us i still nothing is petceptible save at tlte fat di:~tance tl.!e sprouts of water whi tJ b now anrl then at tegulat in ter> vnls are sent t1p into the ait. :!3ut a few hours m ore and tb c largect monster o.f the sens is only a few yar ds di stnut; he I'n.ises hi s imlnense hen.rl and half hi s hn gc body over the Water.

One time we app roached a n umbe t' n ot less than twelv e 1 who were sportin g With one n..1P other nnrl per' f<Jrm ing a ll kinrla of capers in the water.

Every thing at sea see111s very atti·Hcti ve fo r bere (~very thing ls novel. One is never tite\1 of looki ng en the broad e:.'tp:wse of ocenn that stretcl1 es o ut :.;11 every' siJe.

glimpse of green through the prison bars Looks bright to my weary ey e, And that sun -lit cloud is "a thing of j oy,'' As it S'lils in the Summer sky.

What e'en though that little patch or green, Is bounded by prison walls, Though 'tis but a vagrant g lea.m of sun On this house of woe that falls.

Yet the breeze of Summer that fans my check, Blows fresh and so wo ndrous free, And here to my lonely cell it brings A messag e of joy to me. " I come from the m onntain s cn.ppec1 with snow ," Thus whispers the s umm er breeze, "1 have crossec1 the plains ::mel I hav e been Far out on the mighty seas.'' ·'I've welcom ed been on the harv est field , And I ' ve fhnn ed the sick man's brocv, And sweet as the breath of Nature's God I've come to yo ur pri son now."

"I bring sweet perfume of land and sea, And thoughts of your earlier yem's, When yo n were nnseared by ·deadly sin , And your eyes were unused to t ears .''

( ;ATHOLIC NOTES. Tuis is the month of the Holy Angels nncl of the Ros:try.

On St ]\'[ichael's, &lpt. 29, ten tho nsft.nd sisters of Me rcy, spread over thu world, ce leurnted the Centenary of the birth of their ::;aintly and heroic foundress, Mothe~ Cnthnrine McAuley.

The mirn c ulous statue pf St. Anne at Beiiup1·8, below Quebec, wns sol emnly crownerl l>y Cardina l Tascherenu, ·o n the 14th. of SetJtember, nt the request of the Pope t'tmid a concour:se of abo ut 10,000 lnithful.

Arra.ngemrnts hnvc ueen made for cnlling over to this cou ntry the lri,:,h C hristian Brothflrs, well known for +,heir abi lity anrl zeal. Their first mission will be in th~ parish of St. John's, Worcester, 1\lass., in the dio· cese of Springfield .

The problem of filling St. Peter's, at Rome, with an a.Jeq uate mnsical instrument without mani ng the beauty of the nave seems to have been solved in the case of l\1. Cav ill e Coli, ofFrnnce, 'Yho designs for the Pope's .Jnbilee, an organ which will rank in music as the Bnrth(1lrli Statue in sculpture.

The Catholics of Scotland have been begging the Holy See to consider the claims of Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, to be ranked among the Blessefl. •·That she was a martyr is nlmost bey11nd question, for it is in record that ~he purposely inquired of her persecutors whether, it she rc nouu eetl her religion, her life would be spared, and Oil lJeing to!<{ that it would, she broke out into thanksgiving for the assurance tha.t sbe would be permitted to die for the fai~h." ''The Bishops of the Milwaukee Province of the Catholic Chnrch, whicb in clu rles Dakota, met at Lacrosse a nd provided for the E-cclesiastical divisi0n of Dakota, and se lf'cte<l t)nee names to be sent to the Pope from which to chose the Bishop of .North Dakota.

These names l.lre not marle public. Fargo proposC\"1 to offer $5,000 and valuable lands fill' the location of the episcopa l see, with the cullt>geate institutions, etc.

(Kansas Catholi c.) · The Pope will crown his Jubilee by deelaring to be among the saint~ the three following members of the Society of Jesns: the Blessect Peter Chver. the Blessed ,John Brrchm:tns, and the Hlesse<l RuJriguez. Also the se \' e n nohh' Florentine~ who, o u the H:!ast of the Assumpt ion of the Blcsse<l V irgin, in the year 1233, founct . ~ct the Q rder of Servites of 1\hry. This beautiful ceremony will take place on the 6th. ,_.f .Janunry, 1888, the feast of the Epiphany. ·As Gorl, in the time !>fthe old Law, chose Aaron and )lj;; sons of the tribe of Levi to be his prie-;ts, so in the N .ew Law He seems to fix his eye::; on certain families for religion~ vocations.

.tor three centuries past furnished priests to the altar generation atter generation. At the present da.y six brothers in that family offer the Holy Sacrifice, · while many sisters are nuns. In this country we have four Hickeys, four F iizgeralds, aml four Louths, brothers and priests • .

The Pope recommends all Catholic familit:s to unite in the beautiful pH•yer <1f the Ru:JJy dmirg this month, asking of 1he :Blessed Virgin to interce<~e for the peace, freedom and inder:endenee of tbe Holy See. Let us remnu ber that the Ho~ary was the most powerful arm used in crushirig out the terribl~ heresy of the Albegenses in France and that it defeated the Mohammedans in the ever memorable battle (If Lepanto, where ., Christianity itself was in danger of perishing.

The numerous pilgrimages, natiOlJal, provincial, and .local, to the shrine of Lourdes, whiGh mark the great festivals of the year in France, give a most convincing ~-. proof,of the fact that the nation is still Catholic rlespite the devices of the iniquitous faction which through the ' reprehensible political indolence of the majority of the people, has been enabled to usurp the functions and pla.ces of power. The spectacle so trcqnently presented ofmultitudGs kneeling before the statu!) ofOur Lady in the Grotto, thronging the church which crowns the heiaht and' conareaatina thickly around the miracub ' 0 · 0 0 Jous spring, is one which, though unnoticed by om· . cal..Jlegraphers, recalls the pilgrimages (lf the ages ot faith, and often suggests even to tbose alien in race an<.l religion, who chance to be present, the reflection that the country of St. Louis is still capable of crusades sucl.1 as the royal S·tiut c m.lucte·l to the Holy Laud, and that France in her present condition is an example of the momentary triumph of irreligion , soon to be dispelled by the advancing triumph of the Church, whose eldest daughter she has been so fitly named." (Ave l\1aria) Cardinal Gibbons, on his way to Portland, Oregon, where he has gone to con1er the Palli urn on Archbishop Gross, f0rmerly of Savanah, was royally feastefl in Chicago by the Archbishop nnd over two hundred priests of the diocese. St. Paul rose as a mnn, the city was illumina.te~l and a grand banqnet was given at the Ryan Hotel in which protestants vied with Catholics in h~noring the di stinguished prelate. Thb . splendid · triumph augurs well for the country.

The whole city of St.. Lonis w~ts on the alert Sunday, October 2tb., it being the day appointed for the mammoth procession to be made in honor of Pope Leo's Ju. bilee. All the Catholics turned out in their best, the whole city was struck with admiration at the sight of their manifestations of love and respect fol' the great Pope who now fills the C h~ir of Peter. The Catholics of St. Lon:s di<l themselves honor.
