Seplemure 10 1885 Mon chH petit Viateur, ,Je ne sais commeet t 'n. nn.oucer la grande épreuve qui vie11t cle frapper ta famil le. On t'a dit que ton bon père é~a i t clangereusern e nt niulaclc.

Il a parlé de toi, à ses derniers moments. 11 était si content d'apprendre que tu réussisais bien dan~ - tes études et surtout que tu te C!.>ncluisais en bon e~f~nt.

J'e:;père que tu prendras cette épreuve en chrétien, c'est la volonté de Dieu, il faut s'y soumettre. Not1:e d éco uragement ne changerait tien aux choses. .Et ta pa uvre- mère a déj <l assez de peine sans qu'elle apprenuc que tu de décomages en apprenant la mort de ton pèru. C'est bien ton devoir de le regretter, de prier pour !ni et ta mère, mais toujour,; en te soumettant .à la voloJLté de Dieu qui est le meilleur des pères et sait mieux que nous cc qui nous convient. Ne t'inquiète pas de ta mère ; on prend bien soiu d'elle; elle est chez nous maintenant avec tous ses enfants. Elle ira J'année prochaine chez ton oncle Léon.

Je t'écris à la course. Je te reverrai bientôt et te clollnerai tous les détails qui t'intéresseront . T a mère t'ambrasse ainsi que toute ta famille .

Au revoir bientôt.

ilave it has :l'lw:tys been by the studeuts, notjor tllem, a hint someo{ourexclla.nges might note before they begin to prate u.1J\ont tlleir own l!l upe ri ority .

Who r ead college papers after all? Very few . And who goes to theru for models of style, or the soln tion of great problems? No one. Who would impres~ pecple that they sboulcl be snell? Those wllo developed ouly one of th eir bumps: that of self. esteem. Moi1omaniacs have never d on e anything good for mankind and the rule will lwrdly change in the future. ·we bid ad ieu to our friends of the College world in the hope that those whrJ fill our-places shall endeavor to improve in ·the light of past experience and with the hope that friendly criticism may be the Ex. Editor' s motto.

Tile spleeny cr itic of the Gollc:;e Message tukr s occasion of tllc monthly a['pe::trance of our Fr ench supplement to bc~tow upon us ft Je s~on of American Patriotism. lt would seeJn that to he a patriotic American, one must cease to study French, or for that matt.cr a ny foreign la.ug uage, and be satisfied with knowing Engli ~h alone. Message, murk our words! Your estim<tte of A..mcrica.nism b narrow and ignorant.. \Ve believe in til at bwadcr and truer Americanism wbicll admits of all the accumplishmeuts of the most llighly civi li zed life. It is higll time for you to be told that a knowledge of the languagr 3 doe.; not lower or wea ken tll e patriotic serJtimcnt of any man worthy of th e name ancl capabl e of higher things ; but it. g ives a sUm· p of true and hi gh culture to the land, and shows t!Ja.t we are not all altogether ttbsorbed in rail-roadin g and in coining dollars. Think not, therefore, that ou r mon ·,!Jly supplement in Freneh is a menace to A meri can Instituti on ~, or that it stifles American pa triotism in our youug hearts. The J OUI<:NAL, we think, bas ohen enough ex prcss1:d our truly and thorou g hly <\m e :lean sense ; uscl e ~s to demonstrate e viden ce . ... Here we do not do things by hal ves. W (l are not sat is!ied with 1 ~ xning a feiv detached pllrascs from text books; we learn sometlling that, whil e it may be truly r efining , will also be useful to u s. So we lcnrn t,o ~ P t'-:tk a nd write French. l-Ienee ou r French Su pplemcn r. If we r.nd otllers lake so much time and spend so much mo11ey in acquiri~g n little k.wwler;e of French, how can you blame those whose htng uage it is, for culli vating it? Our fellow . students here, whose mother tongue is French, are few in number and are not forei g ners, bu t Ameri cans, born ri ght here in the midst of!'ll that is Am erican . They are proud of tbe eountry of their fa ther's adoption-out

thinlr it no crime to remember the lu-nd an~1 the language of their anc"stors. They arc not ashamed of Lafa.yette, nor of llis sweet accents. T alk about nasal twn.ng!

Can a nything be more twangy than theY u.nkee twang?

Depew, spr.aking of t!JC Amerir :tns s:tys that when theii· ·~ . throat5 are tired they spe::ti{ through t heir noses-a re- ·, ,f' sonrce, whi('b , he adcls, a Frenchman (Mox O'Rell) has not. ·we have little f:.tith in the competency of the Message critic.

In the CEH CLE FnAN<fAIS there were articl es entitled: Genius is Pati ence, Andre Chenier and Chatcuubriand.

Hllw could devotional feelin gs fin ~l in them their way . tiomen.rticles wert! ~erely reproductions from theJounwl de Bruselles, but t\iey Lave been merciless ly enveloped in the general m,assacre. The Message does not vgi·ee ·witll the C:Jllegicm- thc Uuiversal Review of college papers 'which sJ.ys : "The St. ViateU1·'s Collegr; Jou~·nal, Bourbo11nais Grove, Ill., is a thoroughly interesting semi-montbly. Combining hn.pp; Jy local intelligence with solid literary wortlJ, it ably represents the undcrgracluate literature of a powerful sect. Perhaps tile striking fenture of the J mana l, certainly a unique thi.11g in the college world, is its Gercle Francais. We would hea.rtily recommend the reading of the articles written under t.hi s head, and in the French tongue, .to all who clwnce upon tile paper."

The E-mm·y Phcenix of a late date, in a criticism of an nrticle which appeared in tlle J ouRNAL: "\Vhy Catholi cs should rejoice at the Inangu ration Centennial," seems to appreciate the sentime nts contained therein, but fears that we bave committed ourselves- by R too llberal doctrine. If o ur fricl1(l of the Phcenix Jw.cl read closely, he would know that the sentence quoted by him wa> clirc::ted to Protestants. Honest Protestants aelmowlcclgc tllat there is s:1.ivation in the Catholic Church; Catholic3 know that there is no salvation outsid e the pale of tile same Churclt. This does not m€a n tllat only those who are active Catholic will be saved, but applies as well to those who lead good lives and arc earn "-stly in search of the tnte relljion. Tllat is Catholic Doc trine. About the oath of allegiance tllat Bi~lwp:; and Archb ishops take, yon ure entirely mistaken.

These make a profession of faith and also declare that. tll ey will oppose any hcr e<;y or schism that arises in the Churcll , in other words they promise to oppose error and it wou ld seem that nll men should do as much.

tiT. VlATEUR'S COLLEGE JOURNAL. CATHOLI C NOTES. An Italian Dominican, Padre Alberti Uuylielmoth, has published a dictionary of naval and military teTms the result of forty years of the chronical studi es.

It is announced that .<\_bbu H ogan, or Brighton Semin ary, Boston Diocese, will be director of the o ulpitian ·F athers in the new U niversity at Washington , T he Princess Stephauic, wife .of the late crowned prince of Austria, after I'"nticost will be presented with a golden rose given annually by the Holy Father to some distingui shed lady. \ Ve learn with regret that tho improvement recently manifested in the health of .Archl.Jishop TI.ionhw of San Fraueisco was but temporary. A priv ate letter from that city describes his health at present as wretched.

On June the Oth. the Pope held a ccn :story, and ma,-e the occtsion i :n [nrt'ln~ by the ere ·ti 'n of seven new Cardinals and l.Jy the creati on of s:wera.l bishops. Of the new cardinals there were two for Italy, three for France, one for Austria, and one for Belgium. The fnl l number of card inals in the chri stian world, is now seventy.

Among the lirst to assist the sufferers of tlie late P ennsylvania calamity were the bishop of Pittsburg, the priests and good sisters. Their timely and sa.crilicing et1'orts hav e r eleivetl many poor unfortunate beings. There were nine Charity, sP.ven Franciscan and seven Benedictine Sisters. .Among the priests were ltev. Father Guido, Geobel, Cosgrove, Gall agher, Trotivein, B.osenstreet, Doren, Corcoran, Derlin, Boyle, Smith, O'Connell and L am bury.

From Valanza, in Spain, comes the news of the foundat ion of a new religi ous order, which has for its object the ass isting the colldemned in the prisons and the galleys, and looking after released priso ners. The founder of this new Order is :Father S ~1i gi Gaarclian, of the Franciscans of the Jvlodelena in Val::m z:~., who is much assisted by the governor.

H,ecen'Jy fourteen young men of good famili es took the mo(lest habi t of the Order, when the ecclesiasLical, civil and military a uth orities of Valanza, assisted at the interesting ceremony. .A rem r~rlmb l e story is told about the sisters of th e Catholic convent of .Johnstown. When the mother superior saw the wave coming from the South-Fork dam, she at once called t!te sisters to the chapel. H ere th e dozen nuns began t o pray fo r protec:tion against the water which was fast approaching. When the heavy m ass struck the building it shattered the entire structure, and every room except the one where the sisters knelt in prayer. :\ noth cr miracle in the same place Las caused a great sens:ttion. Iu one of the Catholic churches "~ here devotions were held, t.he water rose fifteen feet, ba<lly damaging th:) interior, yet the decor ate<l statue of the l3lesse<l Virgin, o:tly thrue feet high, was not sullied by the liqu ic.l.. Th e flow::r.;, the wreaths, the lace veil were undisturbed ;u1(1 unsoiled.

A recent <lecree of the S:1.cred cJn:;Tu;:rat.ion of H.ites has declared the validity of the; pr ocess in stituted in Paris by Apostolic authority, with regard t rJ the nnctity, virtues and miracles of Mother J3a 'Tat, the f•mn - rc..;l3 of the Bisters of the Sacred H eart. The s:tme Sacrccl Congregation, has also decided the case of beatification and canonization of the venerable servant of God, Father Lorenzo du 'l'rfdillo, a Cupucl1in p]jest. It has also conflrme:l the custom practiced in AJ:mecy from time immemJrial in honor of the ven erable servant of Uod,' the Abbe Benoit.

The same Congregation has granted an Office and prop,er, means for the Feast of J3l<>ssed John Fisher, Blessed Thomas Moore, and the other English martyrs.

The first work of Archbishop Sighcrs after being consecrated Bishop 8f of of Vancouver Island and Alaska, was the opening of the west coast of Vancouver Island; by establishing missions and dedicating them to the Sa,c rcd Heart of J es us. The zealous Bishop on his initiatory voyage baptized 884 little children and shortly afterwards sent a priest to H esquiat to reside permanently. And now the whole coast is in care of four priests who are !:)acrificing their lives for the conversion of the poor savages. A letter was recen tly received by Bishop Sem mens of Victoria, from Father Brabant, who was one of the pioneer missionaries of l3ishop Sigher's band and who in the first year o.f his la.bors was attacked and almost mortally wounded by a savage chief and left for dead in the woods. The Rev. gentleman still bears the marks of the terrible encounter.

The London T elegraph thus comments npon the death of Father Damien, the leper martyr; "The news, sad as it is, cannot be regarded with tb e feeling ordinarily excited by the death of a public man. The departure of that pure and nobl e soul forbids altogether the usnal language of r egret, and inspires instead something like gladness at the release of a friend of heaven and of a man in whose ears, if ever in those of any emancipated spirit, will be surely heard the celestial greeting, "well done, thou good and faithful ser yant!" In an age of incre<lulity and cynicismitjtere was one simple priest who, by his perfect love for his kind and absolute devotion to a terrible self-chosen duty, fixed upon himself the admiring grateful gaze of all civHizatio11."

The anti-slavery crusade is still vigorously pushed by Cardinal Levigeri e. His Eminence Las just writt-en a letter of invitation to the members of the anti-slavery committees to the Intern ational Congress to be held at Lucerne, Switzerlard, on A ugust 3rd; next. The delegates will comprise representatives from England, Belgium, France, Germany, Au s lri~, Italy, Spain, Portu~al , f:lwitzorlancl, H olland, Ha,yti a nd West Indi es. The Congress will last a week closing A u;;ust lOth. The Cardinal appeals to the col01;ed free men of ::;;iberia, of Hayti and the U nited States to send delegates to this gathering. His Eminence addresses those "in the name of Africa and of Europe, which,'' he says; "will not hear them without being touched. They should Seize this opportunity to plead in behalf of their brethern and to receive the friendly greeting of the assembly." The Congress wi ll no doubt be a great success, as the Cardinal has enlisted all Europe in the work.

A young Indian lady has just been received into a Benedictine Order at Zell Dak. This yonng lady is a typical Sio nx, no blood of the white man coursing through her veins says the Dekota Catholics. Five years ago, at the age of twelve, she was placed under the care of the Benedictine Sisters at Fort Yates, where for four years she . diligently pmsaed. her studies. The last year of the five was spen't in the same manner with the Sisters of the Holy Childhood, at .Aurea, l'!Iurray county, Min. At length havin g shown a marked vocation to the life of a religious, she was brought by Rev. F. Craft to Zell, theplaceofherchoice, where having served the customary time as a postulant she received from H.ev. Father Bumning the holy habit, and became a novice of the Order of St. Benedict. She is the first full-blood member of the Sioux tribe to enter the reli gious stat<>.
