EDITORIALS. WE HAVE OFTEN NOTICED the labor spent aud the energy manifested uy meu in search of wealth, fame and political advancement. As . a rn1e the efforts they put forth , the time aud anxiety employed in their undertakings, de:::erve set·ious consideration. It frequently appears as if no trial can shake their ardo r, nor still t.heir spirit. Their cou rse commands attention, and their progress merits applause. It is an incenti vc to young and old- h) those that are successful and to those that are not, to redouble their vigor, and resohre never to falter in their pt-irpose, until the obj ect of their ambition is won.

~~EXAMPLE

***

NOT PRECEPT, is the best way of teaching," is a sen timent widely known. In every pursuit, in every calling in life the truth of this saying may be clearly shown. Examples speak louder and make deeper in1pressions on the minds

of those aron qd us than do the choicest words. Our ac,tions proclaim orl r mel'it or demerit, they manifest o1u t rne character, and so far as our character is worthy of rccqgn.ition so far will we command the respect aud e~teem of others. Daily experience shows that true character acquires greater victories and pi:·ocures more satisfactory results over those placed n'n der onr care than any other means.

* **

JUDGING FROM THE .PREPARATIONS, being made for the celebration of the 30th inst. , it will be an occasion long to be remembered.

* *USE, to himself is of no "liE WHO IS OF NO use to any one." It has been held that, a man may attain success for another, but not for himself. This stateti1ent is often verified. But give such an -individual, the same chance of adYancement as he enjoyed under his employer, and lte will rarely fail to succeed. Want of success, on the part of many, arises from lack of opportunity and means. Yet it is evident, that he who is of no service to himself is seldom successful foT another. His real or apparent worth, to an employer, is frequ ently measured hy his valne to himself. "~

** THE ZEAL, exhibited by

the students competing for the oratory and elocution medals, is encouraging for themselves and their instructors. Victory belongs not to the stron g alone but to "the vigilant, the active and th~ brave." We exhort each of the contestants to continue to labor, as though he felt that he alone would win the crown.

* **

"IT IS WISE not to seek a secret and honest not to reveal it." If this idea were strictly ad?ered to many persons would procure for themselves, not only numberless friends-but they would soon become the admiration of others.

I say positively No. I think lam justified in being so frank when I consider the following reasons. 1st. It wou lu rai:>e the tax as l.ii g h if not higher tlu n tbe price of the books every year; wherPas the Looks once bought would in general do in the sam e fami ly for as . many years as c hildren have need of them and if not it would be as rank an injustice to charge t he m for wh~t they did not u se. For Catholi e people to stand more taxes when n o b enefit is being d erived would h e keenly felt. 2 ndly. They would have to labor too lon g to obtain suitab le books. It is their object to appoint a corps to write out the different schoo l books. The on ly book that now r ema in s of th e ones they had in use five years ago is White's Arithmetic.

21t L'A1'HOLIC NOTEK lrifty colored men are studying for the priesthood iu Ito me. Hev. !<'ather Tauquerey, of ,'an Pedro, California, is entitled to the rare credit of haviug, by the work of his hands as a portx;ait painter, earned the fumls by means of which his new church has l>eeu erected. 'One of the most gifted linguists of the day has just passed away,' says the "London World", 'in the R.ev.•T. J. O'Carroll, a .Jesuit.' Father O'<'arroll had Illl!Stered fourteen languages with their literature and had a fair acqua.intance-that is to say, was on speaking terms-with about twenty more. (Critic.) L~o X li I has just been chosen by the republics of Bolivia and Paraguay to settle a serious trouble which has arisen with regard to the limitation of their respective territories. The nations still look to the Papacy to arbitrate their disputes. The year 1880 is the bi-centenary of the apparition of our Lord to Blessed Margar~ t Mary, and in commemoration of this anniversary the Priests of the Sacred Heart, at Paris, have established a monthly publication, the object of which is "to prepare souls and society for the reign of the Heart of Jesus." The Belgian Anti-Slavery society is organizing an expedition which will endeavor to reach the shores of Lake Tanganka by the Congo route, and will establish two fortifi~ forts upon the lake. Tile ceremony of the conferring of the Pallium on the :Most Rev. F. Janssens, D. D., Archbishop of New Orleans, will take place on Wednesday, ~iay ~th. The Pallium will lJe conferred by his Eminence, Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore. Bishop Keane, president of the new Washington "Cniversity, on Monday presented to the }~ope two gentlemen of Washington, who contributed magnificent sums to the institution. It is stated that each one subscribOO $1,500,000. 'fhe Pope thanked them warmly for their magnificent gifts. The Papal brief iu reference to the distribution of the '"400,000 paid iu settlement to the Jesuits' estate, has been received by Cardinal Taschereau and communicated w the government a short time ago. The distribution is made exactly a~ stated several weeks ago, viz.: To the Jesuits, $160,000; to Laval at Quebec, $100,000; to Laval at Montreal, $40,000; and $100,000 to be diYided among the Bishops of the province . . 'ister Benedicta, ~uperior of the new city ho~>pital , being erected at Baltimore, received a check for 150, from the Emperor William of Germany, for the l>enetit of the institution. A letter accompanied the gift, explaining the object for which his majesty had transmitted the money. The money will oo used to furnish a room in the new lmildiug when completed, which will be named in honor of the donor. (Church Progress.) A noteworthy move has ret~ntly been made in :Boston among our colored brethren. Under the auspices and with the encoura~ment of the Catholic Union, a colored conference of ' t. Vincent de Paul has been formed, embracing bet WI!E'n h enty and twenty-five members, with the m<>Gt

favorable prospects of success. This change b.a the satl! tion of His Grace, the Archbishop, who has ~ppoint.ed a spiritual director for the Conference. The following statistics of different r ligions in European Russia are interesting. There are 61,941,200 members of the "Greek Church"; ,300,000 Catholics; 3,000,000 Jew ; 2,950,000 Protestants; 2,600,000 Mohammedans; "United" (that is Catholic) Greeks and Armenians, 55,00C; Pagans., 56,000. The Catholics have 1,287 churches, and over 1,400 clergy; the Protestants '700 churches; the .Jews 349 ynagogues ; the Mohammedans about 37,000 clmrche, and 4,800 chapels a.nrl about 85,000 clergy. Recently tbe workmen engaged in replacing the pavement of the ret.r ochoir at Lincoln, England, Ca,thedraJ, had occasion to remove the decayed sla.b which covered the grave of Bishop Oliver 2utton, who died on N ovemb6r l~th., 1299. In the grave they found a silver-gilt chalice and paten in a state of perfect preservation; also a large gold ring set with a piece of rock crystal. By the side of the skeleton was a much decayed crozier with the crook beautifully carved with maple leaves. In the spring of 11500, Portincourt, Champdore, Champlain, and others arrived in their ships at Cape Ma.lebone, the French name for Cape Cod. They r{)unded the Cape and after exploring the coast finally landed at what is now Chatham. A cross was erected, and Mass, with other religious services, was practieed on the soil of Massachusetts. This occurred years before the Brownists or Pilgrims went to Holland, or before the word T'uritan was eVN' heard of. (Piltt )

The total ascertained Catholic population of the Dominion of Canada is 1,942,248, being considerably more thau one-third of the entire population. The most populous diocese is Montreal, which hi's 412,000 C:atholics, followed by Quebec with 295,600. Next in the order come Three Rivers with 124,000. ~t. Hyacinth with 110,210, and Otta' a with 100,000. The total number of priests is :2,01)4, of bi hops, :M; and of archbishops, 5.
