At all ev nte, his theory for about the education of his cb lren was that very common one among the anger genera rds tion of non-Catholics who have inherited the I at taste for private judgment without the means leir provided by early heterodoxy for its decent the outward clothing.

On Monday r his Holiness, attended by a large.number B of Cardinals and prelates, gave audience to a considerable gathering of Italians and t foreigners All came to present their ho- tl wage, and some to offer him gifts of sacred objects or Peter's Pence contributions. The Holy Father addressed all present in words w which they will probably remember during their whole life. He spoke in French, and in moving terms reminded them of their duties towards God and to themselves in S the present time, sodifficult for the Church. In conclusion, he bestowed his benediction f upon them. _ Monday evening, Monsignor Dapanloup, Bishop of Orleans, had the honor of being b received in farewell audience by the Sov- h ereign Pontiff. He took with him the warm- a est appreciation of the Pope's affection in eo reference to the process for the canonization of Joao of Are, and of Cardinal Biiio's dili- d geoce in furtheing that canse in the com mission over which he presides. H s Holi oess has deigned to raise Monsignor Gio vanni Carnevalion, first writer to the Con h gregation of the Propaganda, to the posi- d tion of private clerk to himself.

NAILING LIES ilO\w TIlE LONDON " TIMES" FABRIiCATES -ENSATI7NS AGAINST THE: CIIUIt('CiI. r [Cathblic Review I Ti,: itory recently invented by a Berlin co-rrvepondent of the London Timec con c'ertiing the case of a young woman of Baden on whom " the priests " were tring a to produce the phenomrna of stigmatiza tion, turns out, of course, to have no foun- t dation in fact of such a nature as to bear the interpretation put upon it by the nor respondent. The story, as we have seen it in some of the American journals, was that a Miss Hauser of Bresiach in Baden, had informed her parents that she had been persuaded by her confessor to wear a tight girdle about her waist as a means of morti fication which would endear her to God. That she had done so, and having by this means determined a flow of blood to her extremities, copping glasee a had been ap plied to her hands and feet uo the effort to produce bleeding wounds. According to these chroniclers the case bit been brought into the courts and the accused priest, or *priests, bad been saved from convc'ion only by the generosity of the young lady, whowould not allow her counsel to pro ceed furt'hei. The fads as they really stand are of a conipletlon quite different from this. A surgeon of Breisach, named Wortb, brought the affair into public no tice some months ago by publishing in one I of the " Liberal " newspapers an account of one of his patients who had endangered a her life by wearing such a belt around her t body as an act of religious discipline. Just so much of his letter was strictly true. e But on this slender basise of fact Surgeon s Wurth rested an accusation against the t Church, and boldly claimed that the cases S of stigmatization which just now have ,f gained a wide publicity through the means of the public disco-stn~, on the case of Lonuse Latean, w- r, all "got up" by e these and similar -,,.'ares. It was the our of geon, not this pa out, who made the r- charge against the priest, the Reverend t Father Hiss, that it was by his advice that - Miss Hauser had been guilty of this dan e gerous imprudence. Wurth owed the ° priest whom he defamed a grudge, for having reproached him with professional neglect in the case of another patient. The priest immediately sued for libel, and the surgeon in return brought an action B against the priest for an attempt to injure his pratice. Both suits came to trial in the same week. Miss Hauser appeared in e court and testified on oath that in wearing r the girdle in question she acted in direct opposition to the advice of Father Hiss, I who gained his suit against the surgeon, s who was fined thirty thalers for libel. In 1s the second suit Wurth gained his cause and at received back fifteen of his thalers, it hav ' ing been shown that the priest had ac e cused him of some malpractice. One 1n would snppose that it was now the duty of il the medical faculty of Baden to disgrace him for a breach of professional decorom Sin having violated the confidence of a e patient and brought her~into public notor ed teLy. re The Southern Historical Society has com er menoed the publication of historical papera, Swhich are issued under the direction of its Executive Committee by the Secretary, Rev.

Ord n His seat would be, ipso facto, vacated ! id d For, there is the written Constitution of s e New Hampshire: ". . . shall be of the lac ir Portestant religion, and shall cease to re b y present such town, parish or place, imnme diately on his ceasing to be qualijied as afore a said "I sai THE EXPANSION OF FRENYCH COM aso MERCE. La :s The statistics which display the com- i mercial progress of France, and fix her Coe status among commercial nations, are car- N ious and siguifcant. The combined value tog i of her exports and imports, which in the ' 3- last year of thie protective epoch (1859) Fri Af scarcely exceeded ia billion of dollars, has W g already well nigh doubled. What is more Lj i- ,~tew',rthy, in the brief interval between do 1' the close of the war and 1873, the foreign p nr traffic of a country drained by reclamations ia and shorn of two fruitful provinces, was it enlarged by two hundred millions. Un- mn at questionably these figures are overshadowed 81 id bp the imposing record of British commerce, N an computed at three and a half billions, but Ia ht only two other countries on the globe-the = ti- United States and Germany-are ina posi- al d. tion to dispute with France the second is place.-The outflow of French surplus or products easily outstrips the exports of Ger- c P- many, but the latter's imports are just now to larger. As for the United States, our mer- H to cantile dealings with toreign countries stop u ;ht at a billion and a quarter of dollars, or or near the point from which France started p on fifteen years ago. ly, Notwithstanding the recent notable ex ro- nansion of the wine trade centered at Bor g ly deasux, there are obviously limits to the ant augunentation of natural products. In the + aed end the commercial progress of France a so- should he measured by the d.velopment ine of tier manufactures. These are by no t IHt means equally prosperous, the production, red for example, of reflued sugars and of oot Y her too prints having been stationary for some 0e. years. The value of woollen fabries ex - ue. ported shows on the other hand, a decided bl on gain, having shot up since 1860 from thirty do the to seventy millions of dollars. French c see silks have at all times constituted a large a sve and lucrative branch of traffic, and their ana sale at present draws from foreign coffers o of not less than one hundred millions. A a by peculiar and still more gainful source of ur exports is that multitudinous class of minor the wares which, accredited by Parisian taste end and ingenuity,coarmand a market through- a hat out the civilized world. an- to the While arguing a case before the United nal States Supreme Court in Washington a B mt. few days ago, says the Chicago Legal News, ad Albert Pike made a clever reply to an ob - jection of Attorney-General Pierrepout. I The Attorney-General had questioned the tre evidence of one of Mr. Pike's witnesses E in on the ground of the extreme age of the man-73 years-and presumptive failure of c ring his faculties. " Well, your Honer,"' said rect Mr. Pike, " I don't altogether like that BOO, myself, for I am now 66 years old, and in on a little while I shall be 70, and even 73 and I am somewhat sensitive about old and men with no memories. Isee on the bench iav- before me one Justice hearing this case who " Ocn is 1' years old, another who is 72, and I of would like to ask with what force the At ae torney-Gend-al's argument strikes them, p rmthat a man has no memory at their agesbt' " C Mr. Pierrepout yielded the point. The tor- client for whom Mr. I'ke was arguinog was . ex Gov. Rector of Arkansas, withl whom I he had once fought a duel. OI- During the elections in France an enter- I peie prising shoemaker issued a mock appeal to e the electore, in which he set himself forth sub-as a working-men's candidate for the um- Chamber of Deputies. Asserting the ma and jesty and dignity of labor, and denouncing and the charlatanism of tie soi disant advocatea ect- of the people who were only aristocrats in bte disgnise, he declared that-he would not cease from preaching the popular doctrines in his shop, Rue St. Lasere, where he I Sw. would also continue to make his excellent I dry gaiters at the low price of 18 francs a pair. ha, During the electoral period he would be dma happy to furnish them to all the voters at than 14 francea lair. The funny part of the stn affair was that the enterprising advertiser actually received more than one hundred and fifty votes in his arrondiseement. andid A Candid Phyleian. s, at It is not often that we Sad amonst the mediol 1 faculty suflicient caudor to recom rsay merit whatever 1 to proprietary medicine, as it oonalotse with thoeir I intersit to do so.
