I am still mindfu l of you and my good fri ends at Viateur's; it was only my unsettled state, my constant moving about t hat prevented 'TIY writing to yn u at · an earlier moment. I promised when leav ing, to give yon from tim e to time a sl10rt account of my observations in th e differeut places I might chance to pass thro ug h. Knowing the greatness of the tnsk, :.nd my inability for it, I shrink !rom imposing any of my poor productions on your interesting J ournal and its worthy readers, but to show my good will I will endeavor in my feeble way to describe the Pa ssion P lay as it is now being- r epresente<~ here ih the Tyrol. The fame of Ober Amm ergan and its Pn ssion Play are doubtless well known to most readers of t he Journal. A series of represer,tations similar to th ose of Ober Ammergan have been produced for some months at Brix legg one of t he most b eautiful and picturesque · v illages of Au strian Tyrol. The pla ce is situated in a fe rtile· and delightful Alpine valley known as t he lower valley of the Inn. Towering high above the villilge are the Alps, which seem to lovingly encircle the li ttle homesteacls nestled in the bosom of these g rand m oun tains, as though to .shut out the worlll with its turmoil and strife fi·om their ;peaceful abode. The dwellers are a simpl e, pious people, -w1~o see·m to be imbued with t be em·uest spirit of the -cat:ly Christians, A m ore fitti ng place for the produ ction ofthis grancl .spectacle could scarcely be found. 'rhe ·.b t!ilding used .for t he production is situated in the centre -of the village and ts well ad ~l apted for the p urpose. It is capable of accom,odating eig:Ltteen hundred spectators. The stnge is quite large, ,ov:(jr two hundred persons easily finding room thereon. There is an abundance of light, but its adm ission i<t so ingeniously arra11ged that it falls almost entirely on tbe stage ilS t houg h purp.o ely concentrated there.

The audience, composed as it was of both Catholics and Protestants, seemed to fully app reciate and be impressed with the fact. The uprising of the curtain next revealed to us the assembbge of the great con neil; the countenances of the High priests Annas and Caiphas were full of the bitter hatred that rankled in their hearts. On all sides there was nothing but violent denunciation of Christ till Joser h of Arimathea and Nicodemn ro e to defend the ab ent Proph et, but they were speedily overwhelmed by the r eproaches of the insatiateJe11s. Joseph of Arimatl1ea was a noble pecimen of the intelligent and openhearted J ew and made quite an impression. The scene throughout w.t excelleutly portrayed. The rendition of the penitent sinner Magdalen aunointing the feet of the S wiour followed. Juchs arose and compla in ed of t he waste, but our Lord justified her action and in a voice full of sweetness and comp::tSsion assured her thn.t her sins were forgiven . A very tou ching portion of the n'nTative was here int rodu ced, viz: Christ parting from l1i · mother previous to his p::t ion. His eye:; seemed nlre::t<ly fixed upon the cross nwaiting him; Mary was oven,·helmecl with sorrow; sbe seemed to know tllat the time w:1s at ha nd when the prophecy of Holy :Simeon wn s to be fulfill ed : "And thine own heart a word shall pi erce." This p tl't w t:; tou c:hingly given and many were mov ed to te·u:<. Then cnme the lnst sur per and the in~t itn t i o n ol' the Bl e~se d Euch·tri st. The g rouping of the figures in this instance~aid to he th e snme ns in the celebrnted paillting of Leonnrdo cb Vinci. The n.cting at this point showed to great adv:tnt1ge the abilities of the nnn who r.:lprescnted Christ. Every action w:-ts full of dig nity and grace. l-Ie communic tted nll the Apostle . The expression on the t:we of Jucla , and his acting when about to communicate were striking . W e "·ere then treated to a view of Gethscm tne, the g<rden of the agony of o ur Lord. The apostles, P ete r, .John anrl J:tmes were there; Christ telling them to pray, went to an emin ence to prny; H e prnyccl n.lollll the wellknown prayer that has consoled so m<tny aching hetrts: " Thy will be done." Af~er a time he returned to the Apostles only to find thE>m sleeping and in a mo~t touching voice be nskecl them to watch "·ith him. Ilis face was covered with a bloody sweat so :tpp:trcntly tnttu·a] as to be startling. Aftcrwanl followed the betrayal of Christ by Judns. The swcctnes with which our Saviour addressed him seemed to overwh elm the traitor with remorse and be moved away. Christ then turned to the mob nncl asked wh om they sought. He told them he wns J esus of Nazar tb, when all fell to the ground as though overcome by the m:-tjcsty of his look, but in a moment the rabble ros and moved nway hooting and yellin 0<Y nnrl the curtain dropped.

\ Ve then had an hour or more at our disposal in which to cline and wnlk abo ut before the renewal of the repre entations. For three long hours the nudiencc snt as if entranced nnd during the whole time not the slio·htest noise 01: 0 disorder occurred; every thing seemed ns quiet as in n church with the exception of an ontbmst of npplause given iu app reciation of some mu ' ical introduction to a representation.

\Vhile the audience were filino-0 out of the buildirw I 0 hn.d an opportunity of closely observing them. There were the Tyrolese in their picturesque costumes, the swarthy Italian, the vivncious Frenchman, the I)hleo-. G o matte erman, nncl indeed so varied the languages, manners etc., that I was inclined to believe almost every known nation had a representative in the assemblage. The table d'hote resembled the tower of Babel as far as difference and confusion of tongues went: on one side of me sat n German Count, on the other an American priest. Everyone wns talking as fast as be could in his own langunge, doubtless to make up for the long silence impo eel on them during the forenoon. I saw many representnti ves from the different r eligious orders all in their habits, nncl a pleasing sight they presented. Among them anum ber of French Dominicans nnd some of the same orcicr from Canada. · The afternoon opening, like that of the forenoon, was announced by the firing of cannons. The curtain rose on the presentntion of Christ before the High Priest Annas. Th ereafter be was q uestionecl by Caiphas w!:!o declared him guilty of death. The most marked passage here shown wa", where Christ-having been judged guilty of de:1tb, met P eter while crossing the court and cast a tender and sorrowful glance at him, whereupon the wretched disciple, who had but a short time before deni ed his master with an oath, is completely overcome with grief. Tb e tntitor Juda s immediately appeared befor e the great council and endeavored to undo the great wrong he bad committed but the co uncil refused to interfere fur ther in the matter and the wretched man flun g the price of his treachery at the feet ot the High Priest rushed o nt in despair. Shortly after be reappeared c:-trry ing a rope, ancl, after a soliloquy in which be reflected on all that .Jesus ha,d done for him, His goodness, meekness and great love towards him, overcome by d espair he ascended n tree to hang himself when the scene closes. This wn.s one of the mo~t powerful pieces of acting in the whole seri es vf r epresentntions and wns highly appreciated nnd well receiv ed by all. The judgement of Pilnte followed. H ere a new character was introduced. The one who performed this part was a faithful delineator: H e showed Jorth to perfection the weakness, timidiLy and indecision of the judge.

LITERARY NOTES.

The Catholic Publication Society hu in press and will publish i=ediately the sermons of the 1\fost Rev. J ohn MacHale, late Archbishop of Tuam. It will be a book of more than 500 pages. " The Great Inventions," by F. B. Wilkfe, is a work, lately issued by J. A. Ruth & Co., Phi ladelphia. It giv es a very clear and interesting account of all the principle inventions from the earliest period up to the present, together with short sketches of the various inventors. We are pleased te find among the late publications P art I. of Rev B. J. Spalding'sHistory of the Chu1·ch of God. This part of the great work is the Bible History portion, and as it is sh ort and concise and at the same time perfect and complete in every respect we feel ce rtain that Catholic schools and colleges will lose no time in securing it5 superior ad vantages as a text book. The name or the author alone is sufficent g uarantee that it is correct and accurate throughout and worthy of the highest recommandatiou.
