The follow;ig extract is from an article
In the Cathoeli World, for April, being a
tmaslation from the German. It is ably
written, and replete with suggestive
thought. We recommend it to the perusal
Souear readers:
The Franco-Prusilan war of 3870 is one
of the most important events in the history
of Europe. The prostration of France is
no indication that she will never-rise again,
ir i® 1807 Prussia was in a worse condl
ieon than France is now. In 1815, and
antil the past few years, Prussia was last
ia the list of the great powers, though now
hel is the first. France, then, in a few
years may rise again to her full power.
There are no more fresh, uneivilised rases
to come ibto Europe to take the place of
those which are now said to be decaying.
We have shown that liberalism has reached
its acme, been fond wanting, and is dying.
Its efforts in Italy, Spain. Germany Vienna
and Peath are -but the last convulsions of
an expiring system. The natural child of e
libersalism-ociallsm-must also disappear =
before the eommon sense of mankind. c
What remains t Will there be in Europe I
the alternate anarehy and despotism of the
Central American republics without any t
end Must-we despar of Europe's fature
mo, a thousad times no I We look to the
fature with hope and consolation.
Common sense and religion will win the a
day; Christianity has still the regenerating c
power which she showed in civilizing the c
barbarians. Christianity has been th j
principle of national life since the Redeemer r
established it as a world religion. The a
spiritual life must be renovated by truth L
and morality. Christianity is both. We 1
Christians, hope, therefore, for the conver- c
sion of the popular mind; we begin even
- -ow to perceive signs of regeneration, reno- a
vation, renewed energy and vigor in mental t
convictions and civic virtues. t
God's punishments are proofs of his t
mercy. He chastises to convert. The first a
punishment of France, in 1789, was not t
enough to teach her to repent. Louis o
XVlIi. came to the throne a freethinker ti
instead of a Christian. The prostrate
armies of Metz and Sedan are the result of I
corrupting and enervating infidelity. God Ii
chastises ambition and pride in nations as
" well as in individuals. The republic has c
shown itself incapable, because it possess- c
ed neither honor, principle nor religion. c
The victories of Prussia are a blessing of a
God for France. The Prussian army is but E
the instrument which God has used to c
punish a culprit nation-a revolutionary,
irreliglons and frivolous system of govern- E
meat. Victorious Germany, too, will be C
taught to reflect when it sees the blood of
its thousands of slaughtered sons, and the r
miaeries which the war has entailed on its r
ence happy families. Wars teach unruly
nations to reflect. Will the present war I
suelee to humble Europe, and cause her to r
redsect We know not; but God will send f
other chastisements if this one avails noth
ing. Dark clouds are already rising in the d
east, which may soon burst over Austria c
md Germany. The rod of God's anger will a
be felt by Austria again, for her lessons of
1859 and 1866 have been forgotten. They
have only made her throw herself more 2
;?eadly into the arms of the devil. In Italy Ii
the secret societies will yet avenge on the C
house of-Savoy the blood of the defenders w
of the Vicar of Christ.
- But the German Empire has been re- cc
established under a Prussian Emperor. h
Yes, but this is only an episode in the ac- C
tual crisis- of the world. A Protestant j,
Emperor of Germany is entirely different ti
from a German Emperor. The old German as
Emperors represented the idea of Christian ti
monarchy; the Protestant Emperor in t
Berlin represents modern Cesarism. His ib
Empire cannot last long, for history tells as id
that empires of sudden and accidental re
growth lose rapidly the power which they B
as rapidly acquired. But is not Prussia's Is
triumph the triumph of Protestantism in
Europe? Such a question is easily an- d,
aswered. Protestantism as a positive reli- C,
glon no longer exists in Prussia or else- at
where; and Protestantism as a negation nI
exists everywhere, perhaps more in some L
Catholic lands than in Prussia. On the
battlefields of Woerth and Gravelotte the go
Catholic Church was not represented by L
France and Lutheranism by Prussia. Ca- cm
thoic Bavarians, Westphalians and Rhine- 01
landers fought for Prussia, and would be b,
astonished to hear that they were fighting
for heresy. Priests and Sisters of Charity d,
accompanied them to battle. Who, on the ti
other hand, would call the Turcoe Catho- ti
lies Or the French officers, who never F
beard mass and who curtailed the number I
of Catholic chaplains to the minimum ? 0
Were the French soldiers, who drilled on
Sanday instead of going to church, on p
whose barracks, in some cases, was written, m
" No admission for policemen, dogs or tl
priests l"-were they the Catholic cham- b
pions? No, the Christian soldier first ap- it
peared, in this war, with Charette and 4
Cathelinean in the Loise army, demoralized t,
and destroyed, however, by the mad-cap g
radical, Gambetta, and his infidel associates. ii
In fact, the Prussian army was more Ca- ti
tholic than the French. The latter must ti
be won back to religion from the enerva- I
ting influences of Freemasoory and Vol
tarianism before it can regain its prestige.
The only hope for France is in her zealous d
clergy, in the vigor of the old Catholic .
provinces, and in her humiliations, which C
ought to bring repentance. '
The resulting of Catholic renovation is v
beard all over Europe. The rising genera- a
tion will bring' Italy back to tIme Church. fi
The spirit of the Tyrol and of Westphmalia ti
is spreading through Germany. The Ultra- b
montanes in Saxony, Bohemia, Steyermark, a
bshow the energy of this renovation. The t
peasantry of Austria and of a large portion t
of Germany are still nocorrupted. Hion- a
gary is steadfast in the faith. The seizure t
of Rome by the Sardinian robbers has
roused the Catholic heart of the world and 1
helped on the cause of regeneration.
Where the Catholic faith was supposed to '
be crushed, lo i it has raised its head de- t
uantly.
The deceived nations want peace, free- 1
dom, order and authority. These blessings
infidelity and liberalisu have taken away.
The people are beginning to see that the
old, Set ever young Apostolic Church alone a
can guarantee them. They will turn to
Rome, where lives the Vicar of Him who 1
said, "' am the way, the truth aid the (
life ; to Rome freed again from the bar
barians; to Rome become Roman agaio I
vwhen it has ceased to be Sardinian; to
i-; Io~ I .......

quers, that He gov.er. Thesal do
minion of Christ will ain be establisahed.

not, but they will in either cas eonsldep

The Ibfuture of the world ongs to the
prinlples of the Syllabs, rand this future
Is not far of. We conclude with the words
of Count de Maistre: "In the year 1789
the rights of man were proclaimed; in the
year 1889 man will proclaim the rights of
God."
The las'rd Day not the Sabbath.
That the Lord's day is not the Sabbath,
says the Catholic Advocate, but, its nucces
sor, a separate, though kindred institution,
resting on distinct christian grounds, is
evident from the dissimilar nature of the
leading idea by which the observance of
the two days is characterised. The essen
tial feature in the Mosaic Sabbath is rest;
in the Lord's day, it Isprayer. The lawoof
Moses does not prescribe prayer or the
reading of the Scriptures on the Sabbath,
and in fact this higher and more religions
observance of the day came into existence 1
only later, when the worship of the syna
gogue had become general. Christ himself
repeatedly attacks the narrow and materi
al significance which the Jews give to the
Sabbath ; plainly foreshadowing that the 4
holiday of the Christian religion was to be I
of a more spiritual and elevated nature.
The Thalanudists, carrying out the domi
nant idea of the Mosaic Sabbath, declare
that on that day it is unlawful to tie or un
tie p knot, to sew two stitches, to write
two lines, to put out the ire, and going
still further they afirm that it is forbidden I
to take an emetic on the Sabbath, to pare a
or bite offone's finger.nails, to pluck out a
the hair of the bead or beard.
This reminds us of the time when the 1
Puritans of New England enacted such I
laws as the following:
" No one shall run on the Sabbath day, q
or walk in his garden, or elsewhere, ex
cept reverently to and from meeting. No
one shall travel, cook victuals, make beds,
sweep house, cut hair or shave, on the
Sabbath day. No woman shall kiss her
child on the Sabbath day."
The Puritanic and Protestant idea of the t
Sabbath is evidently of Jewish and not of t
Christian origin.
Even servile work on the Lord's day was
not forbidden daring the first three centu
ries of the Christian era.
The only observance of the day, of which
intimation is given in the New Testament,
relates to public worship and not to rest f
from labor of any kind.
Tertullian, indeed, mentions in an inci
dental way, that Christians rest from work
on Sunday, but the other writers of the irst
ages speak merely of pablic worship and a
prayer on the Lords a day. Pliny the
Younger, in his letters to the Emperor J
Trajan, does not speak of rest from labor. c
In describing the manner in which the e
Christians keep the Sunday. We meet t
with no positive laws concerning the ob
servance of the Lord's day until the fourth
century. The Synod of Laodiceas, (A. D. t
361) forbids Christians to work on Sunday. ti
Constantine promulgated a law suspending F
judicial proceedings and servile work on el
that day. Valentinian confirmed this law .
and added a clause prohibiting the collec- h
tion of debts on Sunday. The history of
the observance of the Lord's day, there
tbre, proves that the primitive and leading t(
idea in its celebration is that of prayer and
religious worship, and consequent and sub- Is
servient to this is the idea of rest from n
labor. B
The early Christians assembled on Sun- c
day to assist at the sacrifice of the Mass, as
Catholics do now, and this was then, as it a
still is in the Church, the great and domi
nant feature in the observance of the t
Lord's day. P
Protestantism, rejecting the great Sacri- o0
rice of the New Law, which gave to the ti
Lord's day its peculiar and Christian signi- v
cance, was logically led to identify the day
of the Lord Jesus with the old Jewish Sab- F
bath. P
Even Protestants are beginn'ng to un
derstand, however, that the Sunday is not h
the Sabbath. The distinction between the d
two days is very well expressed by the late S
F. W. Robertson, an Episcopalian, in his s
sermon "On the Religious Non-observance P
of the Sabbath."
No one, I believe, who would read St. v
Paul's own writings, with unprejudiced
mind, could fail to come to the conelusion v
that he considered the Sabbath abrogated 0
by Christianity. Not merely modified in cC
its stringency, but totally repealed, * ti
for the Lord's day sprung, nut out of a f
transference of the Jewish Sabbath fromn tl
Saturday to Sunday, but rather out of the
idea of making the week an imitation of t
the life of Christ. With the early Chris
tians, tile great conception was that of fol
lowing their crucified and risen Lord; they L
set, as it were, the clock of time to the
epochs of history. Friday represented the
death, in which all Christians daily die d
and Sunday the Resurrection, in which all
Christians daily rise to higher life. Care
fally distinguish this, the true historical t
view of the origin of the Lord's day, from
a mere transference of a Jewish Sabbath I
from one day to another. For St. Paul's
teaching is distinct and clear, that the Sab- I
bath is annulled; and to urge the observ
ance of the day as indispensable to salva
tion was, according to him, to Judaize-to i
turn again to the weak and beggarly ele- 1
ments, whereunto they desired to be in
bondage.
And also by Lecky, (European Morals,
Vol. II, p. 258):
"The celebration of the first day of the I
week, in commemoration of the resurrec- I
tion, and as a period of religious exercises,
dates from the earliest age of tile church.
The Christian festival was carefully dis- i
tinguished from the Jewish Sabbath, with I
whIctm it never appears to be confounded
till the close of the sixteenth century; but i
some Jewish converts who censidered the 1
Jewish law to be still in force, observed
both days. In general, however, the
Christian festival alone was observed, and
ithe Jewish Sabbathical obligation, as St. I
Paul most explicitly affirms, no longer reat
ed upon Christians."

Ston, ,i is quite oertain that the arrival of
the new French Ambassador is looked on
with the greatest uneDsiness by the Liber
ale in Italy, apd especially by the men in
S8bm and Aesfas.-Austria has marn
taied silenoe so har on the Roman ques
tion, but an nnderstaadleg-.is believed to
exist between Bordeaux and Vienna on the
matter. The Viennese deputation to the
Pope arrived on Thursday evening and
was presented to him yeeterday. A
number of the Roman nobles went to the
railway to meet the deputation. All these
circumstances contribute to intensify the
apprehensions of the Italian Government,
which also stades ia the greatest dread of
French RBed Republicans.
The Cataholie Popur la ower.-Visconti
Venosta-anxious as a last chance--is do
log all that is possible to transfer the Capi
taI before the summer, in order that the
logic of accomplished facts may plead for
it with the Powers. Once effected, he cal
culates on their reconciling themselves to
it.
The Quirinal.-The usual Sunday recep
tion took place there, but was only attend
ed by three Roman ladies, the rest of the
society being either Russian or of the Ro
man middle olass. Princess Margherita's
circlenarrows daily, and she is said to
complain bitterly of her position. The
beat class even of English Protestants
still, I am happy to say, continue to avoid
the reception, and no Austrian, Bavarian
or Spaniard of rank.is, I-need not add, ever
seen there. Prince Umberto left Rome
yesterday on a hunting party at Venafro,
in the Kingdom of Naples. Her Britannic
Majesty's Consul is said to have been
among the recent guests at the Quirinal,
and the Vice-Consul has (on the authority
of the Nuova Ronma) been decorated by
Victor Emmanuel; for what service to the
Roman Revolution is not stated, but Eng
lish and irish Catholics have a right to in
quire.
Impiety. - Caricatures of the Pope
abound. The last is "the flight to Corsica,"
a brutal and blasphemous parody on the
hight of the Holy Family into Egypt. Such
things would be sconted in Protestant Eng
land or Germany. Another caricature en
titled, "After the Suppression," represents
the religions of Rome of both sexes camp
ing as " Zingari" on the Piazza San Pie
tro. I send both prints, as an example of
what is being done to educate the people.
There are many others much worse, which
I only know by hearsay. Padre Curci is
now preaching at a Triduo of Reparation
for the recent horrible outrageson religion,
and the Church of St. Andrea delle Fratte
is too small to hold the faithful who flock
to hear him and to protest by their pres
ences againste imp:eties .they have wit.
nessed. It is to be hoped they will do
something more than pray and protest, for
the evil has reached a pitch perfectly in
credible. At Poggio the "Liberals" cel
ebrated the Carnival by a mock funeral, 1
the Pope being represented by a large pig,
with a priest's vestments and a tiara. It is r
becoming daily more and more clear that c
the Italian Government is the instigator or c
the accomplice of the outrages on the Holy a
Father, and that we can look for nothing a
else from it. Catholics must take the mat- I
ter into their own hands if they mean to t
have redress. t
Subiaoo.-A great pilgrimage took place t
to Sagro Speco on the 25th of February, E
for the intentions of the Holy Father. No t
less than 8000 persons belonging to the
neighboring villages were present. The
Bishop of Subiaco celebrated Mass in the a
cell of St. Benedict, and the population,
who area most devout and loyal race of t
peasantry, followed him to the door of the
Monastery, and before dispersing raised
the cry of " Viva San Benedetto!" " Viva
Pio IX. Papa Re!" They were so numer
:ns and so resolute that the Piedmontese
troops thought it wisest to let them alone.
The reaction is very strong throughout the
Valleys of Subiaoo, Guercino, Alatri and
Ferentino, and indeed throughout the
provinces of Sabina and Frosinone.
Austria at Rome.-The event of the week
has been the reception of the Austrian
deputation, headed by the Altgrave of
Soims, and comprising at least fifty noble
and princely subjects of the Apostolic Em
pire. The Pope a reply to the address is 1
the most important feature of the inter
view:
"In the midst of the impiety and per
versity of our age, which tends to the I
overthrow of all established institutions, it
cannot be otherwise than a great consola
tion to me to witness the sentiments-of af
fection and loyalty which are manifesting I
themselves from every part of the world.
It is this which gives me strength to sustain
the war which is waged, either in malice or
in blindness, against our holy religion anud
against the See of the Vicar of Chbist. We
have seen one throne fall. another nearer
still shaken to its base. The storm will in
crease, but it will also retreat; in what
day, or hour, or time, I know not, but the
day will assuredly come when the Lord
will speak to the stormy waters and will bid
thmem to stay their course- Tsque hoc et non
ultra. Ilic confri nes tumetes fluctus tues.
I know, nevertheless, that God in His
works, is accustomed to make use-of the
hands of mankind. Order will be restored
only when those who are seated on the
thrones of the world hIave understood that
it is impossible tlhat those thrones should
be maintained with the excessive liberty
of the press and the general license of tihe
present day. Thley must be inevitbly
drawn into thie current of revutointon-I
Er'dimini qlui judicatis Iterarsa. I well
know that your Emperorsdlsires, from the 1
bottom of his heart, the triumph of religion
and of the Chlrim i; he has proved, by
uany actione4uriug my own Pontificate,
that bee-lthe worthy descendant of the 1
family -hicll has so often protected the
rights of thie Holy See. When yon return
to your own country, tell him that the Pope I
bears him thie strongest affection, that lihe
Sprays for him and for his family, and that
he trusts tlhat thie sentiments of his heart
may bear fruit in action. I bless thile Im
perial House, I bless all of you, your fami
lies, those whom you represent, and all the
atholics of the lHoly Roman Empire. I
pray God ht this easlng may acom
pany you on your bhoe journey, may fol
low you through life, and may also beo
consolation to you in the hoar of death,
bthat you may enter Into the glory of God.
s Be ndictfo Dot," etc.
h.Zams and Boso.-M. de Coauelfles ar
i rived on Monday, not as Ambassador-a
i dignity which -appears to be reserved for
M. Cochin--bt an semi-officlal capacity.
He has been received by the Pope more
than once sinee his irrival, and consider
able importance must be attached to his
presence, as it is certal hebe will enlighten
the Government of Bordeaux on the real
ties of the situation. M. Cochin will
probably arrive next week in Rome, and
will, I am informed, receive a magnificent
and most cordial reception.
Te Pope and Prssia.--The Holy Father
has done all in his power to abate the
iniquitous conditions of peace between
France and Prussia. He appears to have
charged the Catholic delegates of Northern
SGermany with a message to this effect, and
Count 8obomberger seems to have been
the person who updertook this delicate and
most Christian mission. As I have
already informed you, if there have ever
been any hopes -of help from Prussia, they
seem to be completely at an end, and the
Catholics of Rome have the good sense to
turn to France and Austria as the only
recognised defenders the Holy See has
ever had, or can look to in the future in an
official capacity.
Tihe Oonsistory-The Pope held a Consis
tory on Monday, the 6th inst., when the
Sees of Agen,Southwark,Raveuna, and Fer
rara, with several others is partibm, were
filled up, but no public notice could be giv
en to the (Cardinals, who were merely re
quested to repair to the Vatican at a given
hour, as the Pope desired to see them on
Church affairs.
The Emeutea-The papers which I have
sent you will show your readers how ut
terly unprovoked were the riots which dis
graced Rome yesterday and day before.
The sermons of Padre Tommasi, on Thurs
day and Friday at the Gesu were so utter
ly devoid of all political allusions, even on
the showing of the Liberal papers, the
Liberta and Nuova Born - that nothing
save a foregone purpos o insulting the
Catholic population of Roude could account
for the shameful scenes of yesterday. Pa
dre Tommasi's Lentei discourses have
been, ever since Ash Wednesday, confined
strictly to moral and religious matters. Not
a single word could be commented on as
betraying political animus, and those of the
last two days have been consecrated to as
explanation of the Sacrament of Penance.
Tablet.
It certainly speaks well for the Irish
laboring class that amid the dirt, discom
fort, poverty and general misery of their
existence, the parity of their women shines
out brightly. In a note to the appendix to
the fourth report of the Agriculture Com
mission, just issued, will be found some
striking evidence on this point. Mr. Nicol
Reid, a Scotch Presbyterian and volunteer
bailie of Raploch, a village just outside of
Stirling, chiefly inhabited by Irish settlers
in Scotland, gives an interesting sketch of
the character and habits of this community.
He says:
There is a colony of Irish here and has
been for about twenty years. They live in
very poor houses and have very little fur
niture; but they pay small rents, and some
of them pay no rent. When they first
came here they used to make great rows
amongstthemselves, and were very trouble
some. A good many were taken up by the
police and fined and that quieted them ;
they do not like osing their money, so if
they make a row I just threaten them with
the police and they are quiet directly.
About the beginning of May they go with
their families to the bark peeling, and lock
up their houses, nailing a board across the
door. They stay out about two months
and sleep in wooden sheds, lying together
as thick as bees, but there is no immorali
ty among them; indeed, they just behave
to each other like wheen children, you
would think they hadn't the same notions
as other folk. I have only known two or
at most three Irish girls go wrong, and it
was always with Scotchmeu. When they
go to the bark-peeling they frequently
leave their savings-bank books with me,
and a good many have them. I have one
book with £40 to the good on it now in my
house.
The Jesuits at Metz, says the Bien, Pub.
lic, are seventy-five in number, who are
employed in educating and instructing
about 500 students. 350 'of these are
boarders. The College of St. Clement,
which is under tLeir direction, is oneqf the
most important in all France. When the
war broke out they-lost no time in sending
their pupils home, and offered their es
tablishment, together with the whole of
their staff, for the purpose of an ambu
lance; accordingly, since the 14th of An
gust up to the beginning of December, they
have nursed Opwards of 500 wounded men
under their own roof. Mloreover, many of
them have been serving day and night in
thie ambulances and hospitals of tihe city.
Within the walls of their own college they
devoted themselves exclusively to the care
of the sick. They prepared the food and
the medicines, kept the beds and rooms
clean, dressed and cleansed thie wounds of
the sufferers, performed the most loath
some offices for them, and two of- them
kept watch all through the night in their
sick-rooms during the whloleof the time
above-mentioned. Both iofllicers and pri
vates, touched by saneu zeal and devoted
ness, presented lhIt good Fathers with an
address expressive of their gratitude, and
signed b~y'ill the officers and all the com
monjoldiers who had been cared for at St.
Clement. It was addressed to the rector
of the college, and appeared in the Belgian
newspapers. Not satisfied with this, they
resolved to set up in the church belonging
to the college a monument on which should
be engraved the expression of their grati
tude, and they handed to the rector tihe
plan of the monument together with the
sum of money which was required to erect
it. Nor was this graceful ackLowledgment
undeserved, for no fewer than twenty-four
of thie Fathers and Brothers fell ill of
small-pox, typhus fever and dysentery.
Four of them died, and one is at the pres
eat moment so ill as to be beyond hope of
recovery.
The sight of a drunkard is a better ser
mon against that vice than the best that
ever was published on that subject.
