WMrning Star and Catholic Messenger, 0W OBIEI.B S 8turl, AY OCTOBER SS IM17. GREGORIAN CIiANT. In view of the fact that considerable discasrion is now taking place in nearly every country of the Old and New World ea the question of church music-whether , the true religious idea does not demand the severe plain chant, or whether the modern musical composition sunog at present during fr the celebration of Mass is not antagonistic to absorbing prayer-we publish the fol lowing clipping : In the sixth century St. Gregory the Great undertook to improve the Ambrosian Chant, which had been in use in the Church - for over two centuries, being introduced by K St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan. St. Angus tine, a disciple of St. Ambrose, speaking of the Ambrosian Chant, says: "As the voices flowed in my ears, truth was instill ed into my heart, and the affections of piety overflowed into tears of joy The r, Church of Milan had not long before began to practice this method. It was here first ordered that hymns and psalms should be sung after the manner of E :steru nations, that the people might not languish and pine away with a tedious sorrow; and from that period it has been retained at Milan, and imitated by almost all the other con gregations in the world." At present, the 7Te Dleum, which is sung at Notre IDarue frequently in the c-urse of theyear, is per laps the only specimen of Ambrosian Chant familiar to our readers. St. Gregory may well be considered the patron of those who teach vocal music, and it may be some consolation to this afftlcted clami to know that even in "that good old time" boys were boys; and the fact of hav : ing a Saint and Sovereign Pontiff for a teacher did not always prevent them from being restive. A century afterwards the i whip was yet shown which had been used during the singing class, also the bed on which the indefatigable Pontiff reclined when, in the latter part of his life, his zeal still led him to visit his favorite school, to hear the scholars practice. In place of the whip, our teachers compel the violin bow todo a little extra duty in that way, now sad then-sometimes to the utter ruin of that modern substitute, and the great de light of all but one of the assembly. For thirteen centuries the Church has used the Gregorian Chant in her liturgy, and very probably will use it to the end of time. In the course of ages, harmonized music was introduced into that portion of the liturgy which could be sung by the laity; timidly at first, then growing bolder, until, gradually, worldly and profane corn positions were sung, until the Council of Trent was on the point of banishing all but Gregorian music from the Church. Pales trina composed his fpnmous Mass Piapa t Marcelli, based on the Gregorian mode, as a specimen of what figured church music should be, and the Council then agreed to tolerate figured music of that particular kind,-always, however, subordinate to the Plain Chant. Since that time, tigured music has again " degenerated, and ieaelithaps more theatri cal and worldly now in a majority of the churches than it was three centuries ago. But our modern enlightened congregations imagine Plain Chant to be dull, monoto nous, suitable only for penitential times; "why not," they say, "have the improved music, which delights the heart and pleases the ear? Gregorian was good enough for the dark ages, but will not bear the glareof our progressive age." WYe have heard, over and over, these silly objections of people who would set up their own shallow opinions against the wisdom of the Church. Do you go to church to pray, or to listen to a concert Do you wish to hear the same Italian love aria which was given at a fashionable soiree on Saturday evening, sung by the same prima donnai on Sunday, set to the holy words of the 0 8alstaris or 2antum ergo ? What do you - care for the words, whether they be Italian or Latin: you came there to erjoy your self. Is this what the Church expects from baher children No ; she desires them to pray, and the Greg-rian Chano. or some thing similar to it, is t::e only m sec which harmonizes with real prayer. oPre Gregorian ChaLt is wa: r.LE two of the elements at: i cor.;:.:. r: " d-rr. music, harmony a:d r :Ltn.

To tleut a datrce is the most eiuryab;e iote, of music ; they can nod their head to tit- time, and go to sleep perhaps. Persoun who have iead more experience find this k:nd of music nmonoto nose, and receive much more enjoyment by Solowing the artistic combirnations of har moor rid melody in ntore clssical compos itiolea. From what has be*- said. It is plain that neither of tse clases rwi. hbud in the Gre gorian that purely musical erjoyment which they seek for outside of the Church, and hence the foolish prjudice against it from persons wLo forget that they go to church to pray. Only simple melody. which the most ignorant understand, and yet which can, in its untrammelled free dom, give scope to the most cultivated singers to txpress their feelinga-alway a, however, in a pray ful manner. As to these melodies that have come to us from the dark aes, what do great mu i cians say about them ? Let us bear Mo zart: "I would give all my fame if I could boast of being thie author of a single one of the Prefaces" (in Gregorian Chant, as sung by the priest during Mass). Hector Berlioz, one of the ablest musical critics of our century, saysa: "Nothing in modern music is comparable to the effect pro duced by the .)is Irac," a Gregorian 1:c. qairm Another great composer sayes that "some of thie Gregorian melodies are as diamonds to charcoal, when compared to our modern music." The leaaned P' otee tant writer Thibaut, h-ry: "The Catholic Church did well io letaitilR g the great old Mymns; truly exlr.rd. heevenly music, which were comp, ,.-cud II her liost tlourish uing periods, nurtnred by her art ansd genius, and which produce a deeper Imi pression than most of our modern compost tions." G. E. Stehle, a member of the great St. Cecilia Society, now actively engaged in the reform of church music here and elsewhere, says, speaking of Gregorian Chant: "Church committees, choir direc tore, people! hQw long will it he before you will understand what is to be, had every where and always: the cleapee.t, most reasonable, and theretore ncoset practicable and best ? I do not believe or say that we can have good chante rs at once, but :f you do not commerince study anid ptactic you will never attain the end " RI-v. lF.thc-r Wtt. Pl'reslde:it of the St. Cecelia Society of Germruary, relates the following incident in one eof his lectures : "In the monastery of IHturon (Sigmarin gen , Gregorian Chant is the music nsed exclusive-ty; year after year only Plain Chant. Ar d what do the people say T I attended Iligh Macs there, wit h five other gentlemen from different parts of the country. Being in a front pew, I looked around to see if we were the only ores < present, and found to my surprise that the t large church was alnmost tilled; and yet by this profound silence the congregation behaved in a manner which miaht be called holy. My cumpnoienns shared ny antonishment. After High Mass, many t reim:ined until the chanting of Scrt was finished and the monks had left the choir in I solemn procession. Again I say the behavior was holy. and this was aflicted by r the eiskalte, askh grene (ice cold, ash gray) Plain Chant. It must be cotflessed, heow ever, that the monks sang it more like angels than men." A. SCIENTIFIC I'EW 01 C:I.1ME. [Cinclnnati Telegraph.) The prevalence of crime in the United States is startling when statistics are ad - vanced. It has been the boast of New Englanders that their section of country was the most law-abiding in the Union. But Mr. Angell, of Boston, thinks differ ently. He read a paper before the Social I Science Association, in Saratoga. in which he stated that the proportion of crime to population in Massachusetts, is now 33 per cent morethan Ireland. This votary of social science is not very well posted in criminal statistics. A little research would have convinced him that any comparison be tween the old Bay State and Ireland would I be very odious to the former. Such a com parison would almost justify the conviction that total depravity does not exist in the land of the Puritan. There are more mar ders committed in a single year in the city of Boston than have been committed in Ireland during the length of the last decade. Robbery is almost unknown. Its people have illustrated in real life what was said in poetry of the Acadian farmers-there are no locks to their doors (or rather there is little need of them) and " their houses are as ripen as the hearts of the owners " Every judge in Ireland during the last year has been compelled, when he opened I the assizes, to express his wonder at the brevity of the docket, and the almost on tire absenceof great violation of law. No country is more obedient to human law, because no country is more Catholic. This is the secret of nuorality which Mr. Angell has failed to learn. Had he studied the close connection between the Catholic doe trine and the purity of public morals, he would not have been guilty of the'followibg ridiculous assertion that, " the alarming in- , crease of crime in this country was due to e the adulteration of food and drink." Ac cording to this enlightened thinker, poor wheat and coffee that is half hickory fill the jails and crowd the penitentiaries. Unfor tunately for his learned theory, some of the most poorly fed nations of the world are the most virtuous, while those countries r where the masses have all the comforts of life stands lowest in the scale of morality. n These wise men of modern times, who cast religion aside, refuse to consider its bene- c ficial influence on society, and fly to science , to guide them, are the blindest fools, by their own showing, on the face of the earth. b They are condemned out of their own mouth; they are the exponents of their c own ignorance. Crime increases in this country, because all sense of religion, all a btlief in a Divine judgement and in eter nal punishment or sin, is disappearing. Crime increases most rapidly in that part of the country where intidelity is now the popular religion, where Protestantism has reached its la-t conclusion. The tlood, howrver. is rapidly spreading, and will a '.,, .v.: the whale- countDy. M!r A- ce:l has found that Ireland is Sa:-re fte !` frm crane than Ma~eachuserta. 1- ea'd tLe fact. but :f t.e searc'.ed fi.r tie cauee. of U.e d fierence, he would have fouLd it, eot in the adulteration oth foed, but in the ad terattln of religious doc tr::e lie word wave learned a truth, - bichi Yat Lee cutool masters and Yankee etchoo~l -retems are tryiLg to expel from the human, m:nd, Lamely : thiat murals and re ligiocu dogma cannot be separated, and doctr:nal errors lead to the total corruption of public and private life. A man of true science wou:d have seen the comparison, which Angell made, that the Catholic con fessional was the only power that could prevent crime and save society. A MOu.,TEB BALLOON. M. Giffard has devised the construction of a balloon for 187i shich will far surpass ar.y effort hitherto made in this direction. SThis aew balloon will be formed of a reeist Sing material, solid, absolutely impermeable Sto bydrogen gas, manufactured of alternate i sheets of Inen and caoo~houc, protected externally by several layersof varnish, and ioated with white paint to diminish the - effects of the son a's rays. This balloon will have a capacity of rearly 710,00icubic feet, and will form an immense sphere, the great est ever construct:ed, the diameter of which will sot be lees than 11 feet. When moor ed to the ground the balloon will form a monumental dome 1,;, feet high exceed ing by 15 feet the height of the Arc de Triomphe. The balloon itself will weigh n,n00 pounds, and to join the pieces together of which it is composed will take nearly four miles of sewing, with '1 miles of thread. The car of the balloon will form agallery of 50 feet in circumference. A circular space in the centre of 10 feet ir diameter will be reserved; in the centre of this space the cable, a powerful rope of ten inches in circumference, will bi jiined to the upper circle by means of appairatoeus which will constantly indicate the ascend ing power of the balloon. This aerial ma chine will be held to the earth by eight c r bles, attached to iron hinges fixed securely int masory, and will be suspended above a vast coical basin. The car will be reached by two movable gangways, and from forty to fifty persons will be taken on board a' each asient. Tbe cable will descend to the bot tom of the conical basin, and by means of a secure system of whbeels will be carried alone a tnnrel to be wo ked by an engine of 200 horse power. This cable will be i.7:1) feet in length. The captive balloon will be placed in the centre of a circular inclosure, 333 feet in diameter. It will tower above the . beautiful gar dlera, and will form the most elevated dome in the Chawip de Mars. With this hal'oon it w II be porsihle to raisi, more tau 200,000 via tore I,6(;0 feet above tie earth during tb.-r outntinnnre of the Exhi btiti ' n.
