The following ezquisite and tonohing hymn recommended by the Spiritual Director, Rev, Robert Kelly, 8. J., to the members of the "As- the sooiation of Prayer in Honor of the Sacred Thirst and Agony of Jesuans to Repress Intem perasei, is presented to the members of the als CathelIetSotal Abstineneo Boocietles of this Ov city, end l particular to the members of the mB St. ioyluas Total Abstinence Cadets. These sti Societies lave been called upon to publicly mi and solemnly consecrate theniselves this morn- lai ing to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and follow- he ing the example of St. Paul of the Cross, for n the love of Jesus crucified and thirsting on the UC cross, to make a sacrifice of abstinence. or The prayers of the members of the Assooia- wi tion should be offered to-day for 4he millions or of poor souls who are addicted to the vice of intemperance, and who cry out " Come to our TI ali or we are lost." They ask not for tem 1 poral assistance. They desire to be raised from the diabolical vice in whioh they are sunk, and restored to the grace of God. This te request you can grant by offering your fervent I prayers, communions, your alms, and other tt good works to Him to whose Sacred Heart you hi are to be conseorated; earnestly asking at the ql same time for the reformation of all who are drunkards. "I thirst," said our Saviour whilst on the !a eros., "a thirst for the salvation of souls-a of thirst never to be allayed." it "See," said our dear Lord to one of His ehosen ones, " hew sinners are in the hands of the devil, if my elect, by their prayers, did not a deliver them." Thus we learn that our Blessed b Redeemer desires that we should recommend I to His Infinite Mercy his sinful creatures. How l1 could He otherwise desire, since His loving Heart thirsts after ours I that Heart from which He ueased His precious blood to flow for our salvation; that sacred, that loving, that ador- e able Heart, in which we are henceforth to live 1 and labor. O Jesus t who for love of me Didst die in bitter palsn, Grant by Thy Sacred Thirst that I May never ina again. TbF parehed llpain agny Ther dried in lo e tstig death; O let me eshare ThylScred Thirst Even to my latest breath. For pleasure I will thirst no mre, Nor fe the drink of sin i Bnt for Thy Justiel and for Thee, Thy grace and love to win. o rather let me thirst with Theo Throaugh pain nd suffering And let me slake my daily thirst With water from the spring. 1 All creatures of Thy hand re good, And none to be refused, If hallowed by Thy word and prayer, Aad for Thy glory used. The corn fields of the fruitful earth, The vineyards, too, ere Thins; Thine Is the gift of plenteous bread And Thine the gladdening wine. Nothinga of evil comes from Thee, No shadow ciouds Thy light: We only, dearest Lord, abuse Thy gifts In Thine own sight. What Thou in bounty maket good, Men ohange to evil use. And Thy sweet laws of temperance By drunkenness coniuse. 0 give me grace, dear Lord, that I From childhood ne'er may taste Even Thy ood gifts, while men by sin Thy Holy Churh lay waste. Ill.

Need N1,rmermma aYdIemert on idl~u SdD 0M..ANOUO W 1 E NEWS. ca iT, November ith.J1 THn ENGLISH CATHOLIC UNImYE rITT. ei On Monday two - at least of the daily m papers contained articles or pragraphs i concerning the intended formation of an V English Catholic University. It is quits pi true that the matter has been under the w consideration of the Hierarchy ever since s the 'Provincial Synod, and that a plan ae agreeing in its main features with that ti adopted by the Irish Episcopate, has been A since then in course of preparation. More- S over, at a meeting held last month at ri Birmingham, the details of the arrange- a ments were sketched out, but as these are C still under consideration, it would be pre- b mature at present to publish the particu- a lars of the scheme. We are very glad, C however, to be able to confirm the an- I nountement that the Rt. Rev. Monsignor Capel has consented to be Rector of the University. His well-known talent for organization and his vigorous initiative will be a guarantee that there will be no unnecessary delay in getting the young University into admirable working order. t THE COMMITTEE AND MARSHAL MACMAHON. The Committee of Fifteen decided on the t 11th that it would ask for explanations froz, Marshal MacMahon, and sent its t President and Secretary to request an in- t terview, which was granted. It took place - on Wednesday, and the Marshal thanked the Committee for being willing to prolong I his powers, but declined to enter into the I question of the Constitutional Bills, which, he said, was one which concerned the As sembly. He would always submit to itsa sovereign decisions, or, if he could not carry them out, retire from power. Most of the Committee declared themselves sat isfied, but M. de Remusat pressed hard for more categorical assuranoes respecting the l Constitutional Bills, to which the Marshal 1 not unnaturally replied that be could not I contemplate the possibility of the Bills not being passed, for they alone would give him and his Government the strength and stability they needed. THE MOVEMENT FOR A PLEBISCITE. The temporary alliance betwreen the Republicans and Bonapartists, is illustrat ed by M. Tarqset, a Republican, giving notice of a fresh resolution in favor of an appeal to the people. The Bonapartists, however, are themselves divided on this point, M. Rouher and the Ordre going in for an immediate plebisoite, and M. Paul de Cassagnac and the Pays opposing it, on the ground that neither the Prince Imperial nor public opinion are ready. DIFFERENCES AMONG THE LEFT SECTIONS. As to the Changarnier proposition the Radical Republicans must of course vote against it altogether in any form which would be acceptible to Marshal MacMahon, who is reported by our Paris correspon dent to have declared that he "will neither be jockeyed nor put off." They are com mitted to this course by their repeated de clarations that the present Assembly has no constitutional powers. Then there are the more moderate Republicans who, with M. Grevy, hold that the Assembly cannot prolong the President's powers beyond its own existence, and those who believe that it can, but will not do so unless those powers are first defined and the Republic definitively organized. The points at issue between these were settled at the former meeting of the Committee on Monday, when it was decided by thirteen to two that the Assembly did possess the power to create a Presidency of longer duration than itself. THE EXTREME RIGHT AND THE DICTATOR SHIP. The attitude of the Extreme Right is somewhat peculiar. The report that the Comte de Chambord has ordered them to vote for the Government proposition is con tradicted; they wiill do so if nothing inter venes to modify the situation ; but they seem, according to our Paris letter, to be expecting another manifesto from the King. This, however, would be of no im mediate use towards the Restoration, un less it were satisfactory to the Right Centre, so as to reknit the Monarchical majority into one; and the disapprobation which the PFrasais expresses at the pro vincial addresses which keep coming in 'in favor of the Restoration, shows that the disunion on that head between the two Rights still continues to exist. It is in fact the defection of the Right Centre which renders the Monarchy impossible, and it is to the conduct of that fraction in persist ently calling for stipulations and written guarantees that the whole failure is owing. If they trusted the King as much, or even less than they are prepared to trust Mac Mahonitheisttetr would never have been written which has been so much misunder stood, and they would have found that Constitutional rights were at least as pos I sible under a Monarch as under a Dictator. pa The Marquis de Franclien, in a letter to g the Uniters, throws the responsibility of he the present situation on the right shoul he ders: " If," he says, " we, the supporters of all just liberties as well as of authority," en are obliged to vote for a Distatorship, "we will first openly reserve our right to re 4d sume our true mission as Royalists, and asking pardon of God and France for seem l. ing to become the instruments of compreo sion and repression by brute force, we will n energetically throw back the responsibility on those who have been in such a hurry to h deny the King. because he is too great, Stoo straightforward, and too disinterested." S ADDREES8 IN FAVOR OF MONARCIIHY. te The addresses to which we bare just re a ferred are being sent in pretty rapidly; ol first came one from Marseilles, speedily as followed by others from Nantes, from In Nimes, from the Marne, and one which de n. serves special notice from the representa up tires of the coMmerce of Paris, addressed a. to General Changarnier. The signers of Sthis paper speak of the commercial crisis t which they have pased through, and of to their hopes that it would have been termi be noated by the Restoration, and express their ,c "sorrowfual surprise" that "the honest e declaration of the Comte de Chambord, hI which was only intended to dissipate mis n understandings, shaboald have modified the resolution of the majority, and broken it up into difrent groups, the combina tions proposed by which only contione the t prohifre, and prolong the orisis." A Ssimilar address has been received by the *deputies for the Seine, and by those for Sthe Ille et Vilaine from their respective e unstitaeats. P UnLIC PRUATES O THEn AuEMBLT. More comforting than the speeteole of h warrrhida tae Asssably is that of call down the blearng of Heaven on its a labors. On BSunday prayers here said in SI the presence of great crowds in all the t, churches it Notre Dame the civil and w military authorities of Parls were present in state, and in the Chapel Royal at Versailles the Assembly itself, by its re presentatives, took part in the devotions which it had decreed. The Bishop of Ver sailles ofciated; two chairs of state at the entrance of the sanctuary were occupied by h the President and the President of the t Assembly, anld all the great Ministers of State occupied the left and the deputies the right of the nave, while in the sanctuary, ' among the clergy, was the Bishop of Orleans, and in the royal tribune the Nnocio. The Bishop delivered an eloquent address, and then intoned the " Vent Creator," after which Mass was said and the Litanies of the Saints sang. REPUBLICAN PLOTS. It isaasserted that the Epinac plot, as it is now called, had wider ramification than I anybody suspected, and that even some of the Government employes appointed under I the Gambetta administration were impli. I cated in it. At the same time another I conspiracy is said to have been discovered, 1 the headquarters of which were at Geneva. The MAfoniteur UTniversel i the authority for the statement, and the organization is said 1 to be " a kind of demagogc league" for the purpose of getting up a revolution in the great towns of the south of France. "Cer tain municipal bodies" are accused of hav ing fraudulently and criminally applied public monies to the purposes of this asso cilation, and proofs of this charge are, it is alleged, in the possession of the Govorq ment, OPENING Or THE PRUSSIAN LANDTAG. On the 12th ult. both Houses of the Land tag were opened with a Royal speech, read by Vice President Camphausen, the Em peror-King being confined to his room by severe rheumatism. The Speech accepts the great Liberal majority in the new Chamber as an indication that the recent legislation is approved by the country, and after some self-congratulation on the con dition of the public finances proceeds to say that the Falk laws had "met with un justifiable opposition from the Roman Ca l tholic Bishops, and that the Government a was the more determined to strictly enforce these laws, inasmuch as they in no way s imperilled the religious existence of the a various creeds. Moreover, the Govern a ment would, if necessary, adopt further a measures in the same direction, counting 1 on the steadfast support of the representa tives of the country"-that is to say, we suppose, that if imprisonment and fles fail, exile and pretended deposition will a follow. PROSECUTION OF THE ARCHBISHOP Or CO LOGNE. How far it is true that the laws "in no r way imperil the religious existence of the various creeds" may be judged from the fact that the Archbishop of Cologne and his a auxiliary Bishop, Mgr. Bandri, are at this a moment being tried for "libelling" two ap h ostate priests and two seminarists who ,t have received schismatical ordination by a excommunirating them, and also for "calu t mniating" the "Old-Catholic" Communi e ties of Cologne and Bonn. If the case e against these prelates is established, it is e evident that no Catholic Bishop can ex r clude a heretical priest from his commun r, ion, or declare with impunity that a seced o ing community is no longer Catholic. We o do not see how "the religions existence" n of the Catholic " creed " could be more effectually "imperilled." L THE ELECTION TO THE SEE OF FULDA. The Chapter of the vacant See of Fulda Is has sent to the Government a list of five Le persons from which to select a persona o gratisaima, an act which the Spener Gazette i. considers a compliance with the ecolesias .- tical laws; but under the Concordat the y Civil Government was granted a right of e approval of persons nominated to a Bish e opric, and we cannot see that anything more is conceded in this instance. The real difficulty lies further on : what under it taking will the Government exact from the il Bishop Elect as a condition of their con n sent to his appointment. I THE AUSTRIAN REICHSRATH AND THE EM n PEROR's SPEECH. e The speech of the Emperor of Austria at o the opening of the Reichsrath was very fa t vorably received in consequence of its Centralist tone-the new majority are i strongly Centralist-and also for its candid n acknowledgement of the unsatisfactory n state of the public finances, and its implied * undertaking that special legislation will be n necessary as a remedy. The clause con s cerning religions matters is vague, and we i most wait for a more'precise announcement r- of the Ministerial intentions before ventur it ing an opinion ; we are merely told that ' the bills necessary for the completion of r. legislation consequent on the abrogation of to the Concordat, will be laid before the Diet. f Ofcourse they will be unsatisfactory and bad, but it is still a question how bad. We have r said that the majority is strongly Central ist; the following are some of the fignies. re Lower Austria (Vienna) has returned 36 e- Centralists to one Federalist ; Upper Aus tria at least 6 from the towns alone; Bohe U' mia 58 Centralists out of 72; Moravia 27 ' out of36; Styria 16; andeven Tyrol 1 1 Centralists out of 18. In Vienna the party y of"Young Germany" has been so encour Saged by the Emperor William's visit, that it hascarried six out of the nine seats for the suburban districts ; and tlhroughout the Empire the party is asserted by the Gaz e. etltedeFrance to have returned as many as S60 representatives. Its programme is the ly absorption of the German provinces of m Austria into the German Empire. 5 THE PERsECUTION IN CANTON NERNE. SThe Cantonal Council of Berne has re jected the protest or petition in favor of of he Cathohe of the Jura, and is now en is aged in forcibly intruding into the par of shes the apostate priests whom it has sue I ceeded m recruiting. The parishes were ir 76 in namber, and the first process has been to reduce them by a new decision to * 28; but not even thus hes the difficolty ' been surmounted, for the priests found are e only nine, one of whom has received the Scharge of twenty-four parishes in a lamp. STwo of the nine are Swiss priests, notorious ie for their immoral lives, one of them long A since under suspension ; another is a Pole, me and six are Frenchmen, of doubfal r character, picked up by the roving com re mislon. At the same time the Govern ment is preparing to seise the free Catholis Church at Berne, built of late years by nf subscriptions from all partseof Enrope; an a ouatrage more l1gitoas even thea mee et Areseva , h.· bmeh V St. Germain was allotted to Catholis y b the State-it was bound, indeed, by treaty ) to provide one-but the Church at Berne t was built by the Catholics themselves. e BI5xeARC AND THE BISHOP OF XULV t Monsignor Marnits, the BIshop of Kula, in Prussian Poland, s a preste upon whose tame submission to his despotism Prince Chancellor Bismarck fondly fancied l he could reckon. The wave of State tyranny has rolled on, unfelt, past his = Lordship's see, and its Catholic population were permitted to -exist unharmed in the l villages that cluster so picturesquely about the Vistula, on which Kula is built. True, however to his sacred trust, the moment that State authorities dared invade his spiritual rights, that moment the unobtru sive shepherd was prepared at all hazards to guard the sheepfold from outrage. And because of this-because that his Lordship is loyal to his vows of ordination and of conseciation-the National Gazette of Ber lin, one of the Bismarukian organs thus whinesoverhis "delinquency," "Amongst the Bishops of Germany Monsignor Mar nits was the one upon whom the State most surely counted, and of whom the Ultramontane party was most afraid (! ! !). Monsignor was at first a most loyal man. It seems, however, that pow over Mon signor Marnitz the Roman Caria has much more influence than his country's laws, since we learn that in a few days hence he is about to defend himself before the tri bonals for nominating a priest to a cure of Ssouls in his diocese." Yes, with God's help, the Bishops of the Catholio Churoh SwUill ways out the !..rs cf God before the ordinances of man. "The Catholio pre lacy," says a Catholic journalist, "will not be rebels to the civil authority of their country, but when that authority usurps to itself the right of disposing of the con sciences of the prelacy, and to make laws which in reality are not laws, inasmuch as they are unjust and injurious to the Church of Jesus Christ, then the duty of obe dience to the temporal ruler yields to the sublime duty of obedience to God, The Christian martyrs were martyrs, because they loved and adored Jesus of Nazareth, though imperial laws forbade them." Their spirit breathes and mov'es in the Catholic Church to-day. IRELAND. S ir Charles Gavan Duefy.-A telegram s from London in some of the daily papers of last week announced that Sir Charles r Gavan Daffy was aboutto retern to Ireland g and to devote to the national movembnt for Home Rule his most active energies and e abilities. The bare mention of such a pos a sible or probable event, excited the most 11 intense interest here in Ireland. The au thority for the statement seemed vague or questionable; yet the wish, in this case, being indeed parent to the thought, people eagerly grasped at the news as true; and 0 few incidents in the whole course of the e national movement created more of hope 0 and exultation than the idea that those is splendid talents which raised our distin a guished countryman to the position of Prime Minister of a free, self-governed O country, a Federalized portion of the em pire, fifteen thousand miles away, were to be restored to the service of his own land I For some time past we have had reason to ke now that such an idea was being pressed upen Mr. Daffy by many friends, and by various and strong considerations; but that he has decisively adopted it, is more * than we are at present warranted in saying. e Every consideration of a personal nature would keep -him where he is. In every sense fortune has smiled upon him there: and a life of happy ease and independence -of public honor, and influence and fame a -has crowned for him in a new home the e efforts that in hapless Ireland had brought a only hardship and ill-requited pains, a t prison cell, and almost a hatter. Yet amidst . all this, it is not wonderful that in his heart e there lurks the feeling that There's not the sweetest rose In an illen eolme tbhat blows. But the brier at home that grows Is more dear I e And mail after mail brings to him the news of Ireland rising once more, and ris e ing with a hope and heart and strength and spirit which never previously, perhaps. were hers-as he notes the grand figure of Isaac Butt towering in the foremost of the struggle, with the old famillar forms of Daunt and Martin at his side--we can well imagine how the heart of Gavan Daffy swells, and how, at the chained charger at ' sound of the trumpet, champs and chafes, e eager to be in tihe midst of the fray, he d would fain spring to the aid of the brave y band who have awakened Ireland in her chains, and who are triumphantly leading e her to victory and freedom. The London - correspondent of the Daily Express inti e mates that Mr. Duffy's chief difficulty would it be the fact that he has become, by the law - of his adopted country, entitled to, and is t now receiving, an annuity of £1000 per annum, as a past prime miuister; and that this would be forfeited by any holder re t. siding more than two years out of the col ony. We are enabled to state that in Mr. e Duffy's consideration this circumstance has not had a feather's weight. It would be °- his resolution to let his Australian annuity go by the board if it stood in the way of s what he believed to be his duty. It may e- be that in a few weeks his friends in these M latitudes will have further and more pre citse intelligence on the whole subject. To y day we shall merely say, that should the r- intention on his part, announced by the t papers last week, be realized, the Irish na or tion will hall with joy and pride-and re be gard as an augnry of hope and triumph 's the happy retura of an exile whose depar " tare. as it has truly been said, was Ire 10 land's loss though it was Australia's gain. f -NVation. The Old Evil.-To any simple-minded persons who may have taken up the notion e- that the recent Land Act, so highly and of continuously landed by its authors, has a- put an end to the old giref and horror of r- heartless evictions in Ireland, we would a recommend a study of the scene which took e place on Thursday, the6th inst. at Annagh, as Clonard, County Meath. On that day and to at that place a respectable family named ty Gilligan, substantial farmers, improving re tenants, owing no rent, and willing to pay se an increased charge for their farm, were p. evicted from house and home by their land is lord. The knowledge that this occurrence i was to take place gave a shock to the e, minds of the people throughout the length al and breadth of the country. The family a- marked out for evietioarere widely known, a- and unilversally respeted. They were 1o hospitable, charitable, and pions people, sy true to their religion and their countory aI the very stasmp of men moat eeded and SumIdrl t theo h. 8ympstethem in On the morning of the evictione crowds of people poured In from all parts of the coun try to witness the mournful scene of their A expuilion from their land. The bells of the two neighboroing bchapels were set toll idg in funereal tones during the perform anoe of the painfal ceremony, and the mur mur of manly voices and the sobs of wo men formed a mournful mnd ominoVp ac companiment to those solemn sohnad. And there was also on the scene, a a a C matter of course, a large force of military r anud constabulary, with bayonets on their t rifles and ball oatridges in their pouches. a After the legal formality of taking possess- a ion had been gone through, the local clergy g requested of the landlord, Mr. Nieholson of s Balrath, that the Gilligans might be al lowded to remain in the house until they I could dispose of their furniture and cattle; ( but the request was refused ; the house- t hold goods of the late tenants were put out on the roadside, and the door was locked against them for ever. And all this was t "according to the law," all this was within i the scope of Mr. Gladstone's famous Land 1 Act. Under the shelter of that Act such scenes may be repeated any day, in any ý number, in any part of the country. And that is the Act with which the tenant far- I -mere of Ireland are asked to be contented I What do the men of Meath think of it after having witnessed this heart-rending scene? What can any set of honest Irishmen say of it but that it leaves the old evil of capti cious eviction still rife in the land; and that before Ireland can know true peace that evil must be abolished for ever. A Wizse BgvoeSg0a O.-The Rt. Rev. Bishop O'Reilly, of Springfield, Mass., gve his Oe9q gregation, on a recent Sunday, a very sensible talk on the folly of employing an extraordluary long line of carriages at funerals, instancing the case of a poor mannrecently deceased, at whose funeral there were forty carriages and a great show, while the widow was obliged to solicit help within a week. He advised the different societies to establish a precedent, by refusing to attend funerals where there should be more than five carriages besides the hearse.

Irrom the New York Herald.l At the late National Convention of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union of. Ame rica, held in this city, it was resolved that the reverend president and officers extend all possible courtesies to Irish societies . organized for total abstinence under the guidance of the Church, especially in the matter of protecting emigrant members. Important steps have already been taken looking to this. On Saturday Mr. J. J. O'Mahony sailed in the City of Paris, from this city, for Ireland, with lettetrs from Very Rev. Patrick Byrne, President of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union of Ame rica, to eminent leaders of the movement in Ireland, setting forth the friendly ac tion of the American Convention and offering all possible ad1 to properly ac credited emigrants having cards of mem bership from Irish parochial dotal absti nence societied, endorsed by papsh priests,. Mr. O'Mahony last spring was entrusted with similar commissions by the New Jersey Union, and in April be had inter. views with Cardinal Cullen, Most Rever end Dr. Keane, Bishop of Cloyne, and other prelates. From being the affair of one State, this movement in behalf of temperance emigrants has been made a national matter by the efforts of the New Jersey Union. The president of that S.; , I1 now secretary of the Qene 1 Union. ThG bishops of Ireland have pronounced at their last meeting in favor of temper ance association societies, based on Catho Sli prinolples, as the American bodies. This was done at the bishops' meeting last month. The news reahobed here soon after the adjournment of the Convention, and the departure of the total abstinence messenger was hastened. The chief point SIs not the starting of societies In Ireland, as upon the bishops and priests there that depends, but to make known the will and power of our total abstinence associations to see to the welfare of the emigrants when . they land, which will have an important r bearing on the minds of these good men. b Mr. O'Mahony is intrusted with this on r behalf of the Union of America. " In New York city and Brooklyn and FJersey city there are fully 100 Catholic Y total abstinence societies. The harbor is surrounded with temperance colonies. h They propose to bring emigrants straight Sto their halls. Mr.J.W. O'Brien, the Na - tional Secretary, last week made a visit to Castle Garden and the boarding houses e into which emigrants are led. Every board " Ing house has a bar attached to it. At the e first step the emigrant meets "the drinking 'i habits of society." It is now sought to save him from these surroundings and bring him under temperance influences as I soon afhe lands. Cards of mutual recog * nition between Irish and American socie ' ties it is thought will compass this object. r The details.of the system will be arranged '- after the report of Mr. O'Mahony from Ireland is received. t The matter is deemed of much interest I to the cause on both sides of the Atlantic. 0 The Irish hierarchy and clergy are very favorable to the movement. It is already y chusing a stir in this city, and Cooper Institute has been engaged by the Metro politan Union for a public demonstration on December 8, when addresses will be t made by the Rev. President Dean Byrne k and other distinguised clergymen. I The taste of the ladies of New Orleans is : well nigh proverbial. In all matters i is acknowledged i to be exquisite, and we are at a loseu to say In what r. particular department of taste they epecially excel. so Yet in contemplating the subject in the abstract, we lare forced to dwell with marked pleasuenre on that char. y cteristioe of ourladiese bywhich they seem intlntively Sto seeet what is most becoming in dre.
