r~rther Nugent's American Expriences.
Wl'hat struck him.in America was tihe po
-meio that the hiilh Catholics held. They
w" e3 -everywheri at the top of the tree
seot down in the gutter of society. lie
6und this iv the various States lie went
iaste. First of all in Canada-in Montreal
hs. weut to the largest shoe factory, whet're
z county (Cava an1n1 emlployed over 3110
'lands. That man told him (Father Nu
e..t) that when heo entered Montreal lie
had just half a dollar (two shillings) in his
puwckt, and now his warehouse was as
ass any they would see in North John
sin~t or Water street. lie (the speaker)
went to Toronto, and he found a grocery
atore kept by an Irishman, and it would
give them an idea when he said that from
Jhat, door (here Father Nugent pointed to
tue entrance door) right down to Scotland
read, was about the distance to which these
stores extended. Ilo had built them him
#iht. There were three stores, and they
ceret like a little town. There was another
cnan who had a branch establishment in
M~xorpool. HIe would not say whether it
as in Water striet, in Brunswick street,
:r in James street, but it was in one of
tkase seteets, and that man was a banker
i, Toronto, and had an immense dry goods
ets.blishment; lie was a county Tyrone man
:und had risen from an humble beginning.
£t they went to Toronto they would find
that two out of every three men owning
tose large stores were Irishmen. TIe had
ou icdea he was going to talk to them that
vrening on these sabjects or he would have
ertrushed his memory. Canada was a poor
-ountry for a poor man, but it was better
in most respects than England. There
va-v five months of winter; and they had
o l'ew down immense forests and plough
aong the roots of the fallen trees for sev
e'cal years. Crossing over the border, into
-Lte United States, he found that in various
-laces Irishmen held high positions, and
au.eng others, one who had been a poor
gtan in Liverpool, was now one of the first
arercehats in Toledo. This man drove him
(Father Nugent) in his buggy, and enter
saiined him in his. house, which was just
like apalace. He then went on to Chicago,
erich, to a great extent, was an Irish city.
.Ariving ht a hotel about one o'clock in the
,tirniug, he (the speaker) immediately saw
itbout &adozen girls all eyeing him. They
did not know whether lie was from the old
% =satry, or whether Ihe was of the right
sort; bat it happened to be Friday morn
ing, and when be refused the nieat and
raie d for some fish tlhey very soon found
oat groat he was. Otne of the girls said,
'- think you are a priest, sir 7" " From
'Oir- York 7" the girl asked. "No," he said,
ý.iroa:rtie 'old country." T'hen she said
'" Areyun lobng over \ " " No," he said, "I
iat quite a gireenhorn." So she put him
turtough his lacings, atndi then it was lie told
_i IrLs whio hie was, and lie found that
_-Very gill in the room was lush, aqd they
atVa liber:ally out of Tiheir earnings for the
inppo't of religion. Whilst in Chicago be

FIRANCE.
-.uects of the lReorganization of the a.rmy.
Englishmen, Germans, and others occasion
ally indulge in a sneer at the boast so often
made by Frenchmen that the eyes of the
world are always fixed on their doings,and
the policy..of foreign nations sometimes in
fluenced by the most trivial utterances of
their statesmen. Undoubtedly, the boast
locks vainglorious, but-really it would ap
pear to be far from idle. What, for in
stance, has been the effect on victorious
Prussia herself of that portion of the recent
message of the enthusiastic and imaginn
tive author of L'llistoire de l'Empirc which
deils with the proposed reorganization of
the French army T M. Thiers had simply
hinted that the strength of the army
should be increased, and immediately off
go orders from the Prussian War Office to
the various German military authorities
under its control to enlist this year over
and above the, ordinary quota of 100,000
men, an additional number of 24,000 re
cruits; and as a similar order is sure to be
issued in Bavaria, Saxony, and Wurtem
burg-the three States whose military for
cea are not absolutely incorporated with
the. Prussian-and as recruits are also to
be gradually raised in Alsace and Lorraine,
the German army will, after the period of
twelve years of service, obligatory on- r
ci uits, according to the calculation of a
compnetent writer, be permanently rein
forced, because of the reorganization of
the French army, by no less than three
-hundred and thirty thousand men. From
this it would seem that the Germans them
selves are not so convinced as some others
appear to be of France's inability to "fight
another day" with greater success than last !
year attended their arms. It is frue that
they may fear another eneipy than France;
but if they did not believe that that enemy
would have France for an ally, they would
hardly be now adopting measures which
must necessarily prove highly detrimental
to their commercial and industrial interests.
The Abbe Gratry.-The intelligence that
this theologian had repented of- his ill-ad
vised opposition to the dogma of Papal In
fallibility, is completely confirmed by the
following letter, which Abbe Gratry has
addressed to the new Archbishop of Paris:
" Monseigneur, had I not been extremely
ill and incapable of writing a letter, I
should, many days ago, have addressed to
you my homage and welcome. At any
rate, I am desirous to-day of at least sitmp
ly saying to you, Monseigneur, what, as it
appears to me, is scarcely necessary to be
said, namely, that I, in common with all
my priestly brethren, accept the decrees of
the Vatican Council. I blot out every
thing to the contrary that I may have
written on this subject before the decision."
In reply the Archbishop congratulates I'ere
Gratry on the priestly courage which htas
induced him to blot out all his writings
hostile to the decrees of the church ; and
hopes that by a speedy return of health; he
imlty be abll to take up again the pen lie
has so often used in the defence of religion.
GERMANY.
l:araria and .'russia.-It is at least
doubtful whether P'russia will succeed by
constitutional means in inducing Bavaria to
furnish the: fresh contingent for which it
has just called. There are signs that that
State is by no means satistied with its posi
tioni in theE.ipire, or with the modicani
of independence it retains. Last week
t.hereo was introduced into the Lower
Ch:amber at Munich a motion declaring the
assent of the Bavarian Diet necessary to
the due carrying of any amendments that
may be proposed by its representatives in
the Federal Council, with a view to change
the relations of Bavaria to the Empire, and
the discussion that has taken place on this
nution revteals the fact that the object of
its authors is to weaken as much as they
can the hands of Bismarck and to prevent
Iimt from further encroaching on their lib
erties. It is possible that their efliorts in
this direction may not be all fruitless.
f.lreedom of iReligion in hBaariar.-The
folliwing instructive incident is just re
ported from Kotzug, in Bavaria. The 1Bur
germnaster, i-n the evident idea of carrying
favor with the- Governument drew up a
statement of adthesion to tihe Dollinger
sect, and invited his fellow citizens to sign
it at the town-hall. The Bishop of Ratis
bone, however, whilst administering con
tirmatiou in that district, cautioned the
faithful against doing so, explaining that
such action would subject them to excom
miunicationi, consecquently the Iurgermnas
ter brought an action against the bishop.
The inferior court, of course, decided that
the lislhop only did his duty; but, the
higher court, being filled by governmentllt
nonmitinees and liberals, sa stained the appeal
of the lturgerlnaster, and condemned the
lBishop to an apology and to bear the cts
of the suit. The Bavarian (government
evidently understands the liberal pro
gr nlllllllle, andil seems determtined to cary it
utt, is far as destroi ing t he freedom of tit.
h(lrch is collcerned.

only because both found it their interest
not to widen the area of hostilities ; and,
finally, that in relying upon England for
help, as they did, they made a blunder of
the grossest kind. The cry, therefore,
with them is no longer "retrenchulent,"
but in common with all their neigitlors,
they are iptroducing compulsory service in
the army, and are trying to reconcile the
interests of industry and commerce with
the inevitable necesaity of large armaments

been going during tihe last few days in the
Belgian Chamber of Deputies, shllows, how
-ever, that there is a large party opposed to
the proposed increase of forty million
france to tlhe military estimates, and what
the final sojution will be it is as yet quite
impossible to say.
IIOLLAND.
Noble Conduct of the Dutch Ambassador
at Iomne.--It is stated that His Excellency
the Count du Chastel, ambassador to the
Vatican from the King of Holland, Ias
written to his Government, offering to
continue to discharge the duties of his
post, without any remuneration or salary
of any kind. This is becanse the lower
house of parliament in that country lhas,
by a majority of six. struck out the item
for tie expenses of the Roman embassy
from the budget.
CAunAI[N.L_ W-IsEMAN AND WESTMINSTER
AnnEY.-In his appeal to the people of
England, issued in October, 1850, Cardinal
Wiseman, in alluding to the title of WVest
minster, said:-'- The diocese consists of
two very different parts-one comprises
the stately Abbey, with its adjacent palaces
and its royal parks. To this portion the
duties and occupation of the Dean and
Chapter are mainly confined, and they
shall range there undisturbed. To the
venerable old church I may repair, as 1
have been wont to do. But perhaps the
Dean and Chapter are not aware that, were
I disposed to claim more than the right to
trend the Catholic pavement of that noble
building, and breathe its-air of ancient con
secration, another might step in with a
prior claim. For successive generations t
there has existed ever in the Benedictine
order, an Abbot of Westminster, the re
presentative, in religious dignity, of those
who erected and beautified and governed
that church and cloister. Have they ever
been disturbed by this ' titular' Then
let them fear no greater aggression now.
Like him, I may visit, as I have said, the
old Abbey, and say my prayers by the,
shrine of good Saint Edward, and meditate
on the olden times, when the church filled
without a coronation, and multdLUes
hourly worshiplped without a service. Yet
this splendid monumuent, its treasures of
art and its fitting endowments, form not
tihe part of Westuminster which will concern
me. For there is another part which stands
in frightful contrast, though in Immediate
contact, with this magnificence. Close
under the Abbey of WVestminster there lie
concealed labyrinths of lanes, and courts,
and alleys, and slums, nests of ignorance,
vice, depravity and crime, as well as of
squalor, wretchedness and disease; whose
atnmosphere is typhus,wh.,e.,est.iltie.
is cholera; in which swarms a huge and
almost countless population, in a great
measure, nominally, at least, Christian:
haunts of filth which.no sewerage commit
tee can reach-dark corners which no
lighting board can brighten. This is the
part of Westminster which I alone covet,
and which I shall be glad to claim annd visit
as a blessed pasture in which sheep of holy
Church are to be tended, in which a Bish
op's godly work has to be done, of consol
ing, converting and preserving."
TrE FAMINE IN PERSIA.-Accounts from
Persia represent the devastations of the
famine to be even more dreadful thlnu at
any former time. At Mhesched, the capital
of the province of Khorassan, a town of
one hundred and twenty-thousand inhab
itants, eighty thousand persons have per
ished of hunger or disease, twenty thous
and have tied, and the residue have been
seized and carried away into slavery by the
Toorkoman and Afghan banditti. The
conduct of the Shah, during this fearful
tinme of trial for his subjects, has bee.n lu
dicrously imbecile and cruel. Despite the
general suffering and the outcries of the
people against a tyrannical government, he
went off on his usual husnting expedition
When he was about to return, several
thousand people assembled, with their
heads covered with dust and ashes, before
the gate of the palace, uttering seditious
cries, and loading his name with abusive
epithets. This so alarmed the Shah that,
instead of coming b·ack to his capital, he
withdrew to his country-seat in tile neigh
borhood. The mob wans dispersed liy tile
troops, and a decree was posted up in the
streets ordering bread to be sold at a fixed
price; but this only increased the popular
Indignation. as there was no Iread to be
had. The Shah then ordered the vizier of
tihe town to be put in iri.ns, tied to a don
key's tail, and dranggeld, barcheaded and
barefooted, through the baz.aar att niid-day.
After this sente-rnce hadtl been executedl, the
henadl bake(r iand several o: his subordinates
were burrned to death inll their own ovens.

Or TIE TRIUMPHIANT MARCH OF HIOME RULE.
of We must not let the year close without
e; glancing at the evidence which abounds on
all sides that Home Rule is rapidly ad
in vancing. Steadily and securely that im
in portant question has made great progress
he during the last twelve months. It has
tLi thus been proved to be not a mere spas
t moedic burst of sentimentalism, but a calm
15 and resolute demand founded upon the
0 strictest justice. We have labored for
V- years in the good cause of advocating this
to national claim, and now at the close of 1871
in we see around us ample reason to be hope
Rlt ful of the ultimate triumph of the prinuci
t pile of a people's right to be governed by
laws enacted by themselves,and themselves
alone. At first there were found many to
)r sneer at the movement because it was not
y noisy or revolutionary ; but when at every
1e election in Ireland the voters gave the
is most convincing proofsof the reality of the
tO demand, and of Ireland's detertminat on to
is persist in it, neither terrified by the frowns
T of coercive legislation, nor cajoled by the
,r smiles of political corruption, men began
Ai to feel that it could not be extipguished.
m And so we find that, with the exception of
7 Mr. Gladstone's ill-advised jokes at Aber
deen respecting the Irish fisheries, England
has of late entered into steady argument
on the subject, and has thus recognized the
t folly and madness of those who haughtily
refused at first to give any attention to the
f demand of the great majority of the Irish
people. Evyed the Times came down from
its stilts and condescended to look upon
the advocates of Home Rule as people to
e whom a hearing must be given. It is ad
mitted that there is cause for great dissat
isfaction at the present awkward and cum
brous legislative machinery which is so
rapidly getting "out of gear" that even the
e cleverest political engineers must fail to
e keep it in working order. The Meatih,
0 Wcstmeath, and Limerick elections are
C now shown to have been not mere pass
ing enthusiasm, but the outspeakiug of a
a nation's fixed resolve. Galway will tell
6 the same tale as soon as MIr. Gladstone
e ventures on the hazardous experiment ofI
- giving the support of a Wlhig administra
0 tion to the Whig and Tory landlords of that
county in their puny efforts to oppose the
r will of the people, headed by the illustri
u os Archbishop of Tuam, the great chanm
Spion of the rights of Ireland. Even while
we write there is a possibility of an early
t election for the King's county, but we
e think that JMr. Gladstone will think twice
Sbefore rn the risk of adding another
to the long catalogue of electoral disasters
with which his administration has been
f already so signally-marked. Some people
t (not hostile to Ireland) have lat-ely stated
° that they see danger in Howe Rule, and
a tells us that it is anti-Catholic and revo
e lutionary. Now, as to the tirst point, it is
Sstrange that the most hot-headed of our
opponents are constantly dinning into our
ears the silly objection that lioseuu Ille
means Ronme Rule, that the Pope and the
College of Cardinals are secretly at the
e bottom of it all, and that the abstention of
ntildinal Cullen from open action in the
cause is a mere sham. The two opposites
tmay very well be allowed to -destroy each
other. The fact is that the Home Rule
movement is in no way connected with
a0 ny religious question.- It is the embodi
ment of a noble national aspiration which
it aims at winning the freedom of all Irish
metr, without the distinction of creed,froml
the thraldom which has long been the
fruitful source of countless evils to their
common country. There is no instance on
record of true patriotism being opposed to
religion. _Who will venture to say that
n O'Connell, who begged that his epitaph:
` might be, "Heli lived and died a Repealer,"
was not a good Catholic ? )id not the
Sovereign Pontiff Pius IX. proclaim him to
be "tile great Christian hero 1'' They widely
err who connect fidelity to fatherland with
treason to the faith. The best of men are
those who are faithful to both. Aks to
SIIome Rule being revoluTfiTnary, it is
e quite the opposite. Nothing can he less
e revolutionary than a measure which tends
to allay national discontent, and calm
those passions which lead to pIopular tL
e mults. The glorious band of gifted men
e Grattan, Plunkett, Curran, and others
e who fought with scch determination against
1 the ill-omened union in 1800 were stern
opponents of violent measures. In latter
r times who were the men who gave O'Con
e nell most active support in his eflforts to
win hlomne Rule They. were the bishops
e and priests of the Catholic Church, the
true friends of social order. We notice
that the question has been making pro
gress not only in England but in Scotland.
A short time ago one of the leading pro
fessors of a :Scottish university delivered
ran address in favor of Iluoe Rule for
Scotland, and his remarks elicited a great
deal of approbation. Immense meetings
apiiroving the mnovement have been held
in London, Liverpool, Manchester and,
Glasgow.-Lon,,lon Universe.

been abut against the Orange leaders, the
E. crowd, or a portion of it, attempted to form
It a procession. Its immense majority were
n composed of Bogside men, and a dreadful
1. collision between the antagonistic elements
1- was imminent. At this critical moment
as the police, foot and mounted, dashed upon
so the concourse from front and rear, and a
a. wild and alarming scene ensued. Tie
ai crowd were pressed and scattered. 'Tihe

,r hand to hand struggles took plAce; but the
is nob was dispersed, and fled .in all direc
tions. Messrs. Rea and Johnson led the
Sattempted procession, and these gentlemen
were somewhat roughly handled in the
{ confusion. The mounted Constabulary
*s charged right through the mob, a solid
u column of foot taking them in the rear and
,t breaking them up. The crimson scarves
and other badges were torn off the persons
of the processionists, but'otherwise the
e people behaved with extraordinary for
bearance. Some twenty of the procession

If and Johnston addressed the meeting,
which was chiefly composed of young girls

ea deputation was appoibted to wait on the

IMMENSE MEETING IN GAL.WAY.
Galway lhas given back its answer. On
Tuesday last a representative meeting of
the clergy and people, yast in its propor
tions and unanimous i'n its spirit, asset
bled in Athenry, for tile purpose, tile re
port has it, of " giving practical effect to L
tile resolutions of the clergy of Tuam, '
Clontlrt, Kilmacduagh, and Galway in fa
vor of Captain Nolan's candidature." Tile
meeting was held in the open air; the day
was cold and raw, the rain fell in chilling
showers, and a sharp wind swept the space
in which the people assembled. But the
enthusiasm of the Galwlay electors was
iproof against the inclemency of the weath
er, and a vast multitude assembled to hear
the resoluticns discussed and to support
themn by their voices. The chair wastaken I
by the worthy parish priest of Athenry, I o
and letters, warnlly.recommending Captain a
I Nolan for adoption by tile electors, were
lead fromn the Archbishop of Tuam, the
Bishop of Galway, the Bishop-elect ofClou- n
fert, and Mr. Martin, M.1P. Dr. Maclale
describes the issue before the electors as ti
involving a decision of the question whether fi
the electors hold the franchise in trust for a
"exclusive benefit of their enemies. Dr.
f McEvilly, in an able letter, exposed the i
real meaning of tile delusive cries with C
which '- the gi.ntry " ie attemllpting to it,
duce the people to abandon the Iath of c
duty; whllile l)r. Duggan, in a few stirring t
sentences, declared in favor of tile man c
wlIho, " by tile Portacarrou Award, has i
I given an exaruple-by restoration-of the a
- only form of reparation adequatel to tile
Swrong inflicted by ' capricious evictionl.' s
Mr. Martin-in a letter written in his usual r
r earnest and patriotic spirit-calls on Gal
way electors to " vote fearlessly as their i
Scoltscience and their judgment bids ;" and t
t thie sllne appeal rings out through most of I
the addresses delivered by the speakers.
We cannot go through the resolutions and p
si'echCIes here ; but we callnot avoid direct- "
ing attentionl t he able, thoughtful andl t

Lives of the Deceascnd Bishops of the Cath

ard Ii. Clarke, Esq., of New York:
Thne groawth of the Catholic Church in our
micst has proportionately far out-stripped
that of thie IRelblic. In a period of ninety
tive years the United States has increased
from twelve States to thirty-seven States
anid thirteen territories ; wile tile Chlirct,
during a Inriodtl of ighty-one years, has
in.e:ised front one ]Bisholpric to fifty-four.
iBishoprics, six V'icariates-Apostolic and
four Mitred Abbots. Tle :onpulation of the
Ctlnntry ha s increased frot1 2,00,00b to
about 40,000,1)()O an increase of 1433 per
ceutum : while te Catholic populattirn hae
incre:lscd frorn 25,,(1)M to about 5,500,000,
tn incrtiase of 2,1(lt) per centun. Tidein
crlease itn our Catholic population has re
sulted fromn foreign immigration, the natu
itil growthn of our native popuolation, con
vetsions from tile sects, atnd accessions
from the Indian tribes. The salvation of
the Indians rha ever hbeen onen of the dear
est aims of the Catholic Church. The
Churchi is conservative aintd productive.
