CATHOLIC NEWS.
A Proposed Monument.
The project of erecting in Central
Park, New York, a monument to the
memory of an American who in the
world of thought had been a leader
among men, must commend itself to
every intelligent citizen of out Repub
lic. Certainly, one "who loves hfs coun
try, and takes pride in her glory, must
be prepared not only to value, but to
contribute, as far as in him lies, to ren
der imperishable the memory of those
who, as warriors or writers, have served
to make the nation honorable and dis
tinguished in the eyes of the world.
The late lamented Dr. Orestes A.
Brownson was in bis time the most
prominent citizen of this country, com
manding by bis words the attention of
both hemispheres—a citizen who in his
many writings displayed the resources
of a wondrously gifted mind, which he
employed in rendering invaluable ser
vices to religion, philosophy, literature,
and state polity —a man whom the
American nation may well be proud to
claim as the leading philosopher and
writer of our days, The memory of
such a man should, indeed, never die.
Here at Notre Dame, which is privi
leged to possess the remains of the il
lnstrious dead, a chapel, known as the
Brownson Memorial Chapel, has been
for some time in process of construc
tion, and will shortly be completed.
But something should be done by the
people at large. As long as our Repub
lic maintains its prestige before the
world, so long should there remain, in
the very heart of the nation's wide do
main, the material but, witftal, imper
ishable expression of her appreciation
and remembrance of the services of the
most gifted of her sons. And espe
cially every Catholic throughout the
length and breadth of the Union should
realize the significance and propriety of
the proposed testimonial. It may well
be said that Dr. JJrownson, as a Catho
lic layman, fulfilled a providential mis
sion. Living at a time when the ene
mies of the Church, in this country,
were most bitter, hostile and powerful,
he did much towards inaugurating that
era of good feeling which has since pre
vailed, by creating in the minds of non
Catholics a respect for the Church and
her teachings, and giving to the world
at large an example of human reason,
in its grandest development, exercising
its powers, at one and the same time, in
the service of religion and science.
We may add that the honor of having
conceived the present undertaking—or,
at least, of being the first to give it ex
pression—is due to the Rt. Rev. Dr. Gil
mour, Bishop of Cleveland, who, many
months ago, suggested to the public the
idea of such a monument, and was
himself the first to contribute to the
fund for its erection. Through the con
stant agitation of the Catholic Universe,
the matter was effectively kept before
the public, and many subscriptions
were added, until it was taken in hand
by the Catholic Young Men's Union.
Under the active and energetic au
spices of this organization, aided by the
generous response of an intelligent and
and appreciative public, we have no
doubt that the much desired consumma
tion will be speedily realized, and that
a fitting monument commemorative of
our great statesman, philosopher, and
Christian writer, will ere long occupy
its prominent position in the centre of
the great metropolis of the. "Western
World."—The Ave Maria.
Ohurch Botes.
A new schoolhouse is to be erected in
St. Joseph's parish, Washington, D. C.
A new school in charge of the Sisters
of Mercy has been established at Coro
wa, Australia.
The new church of the Holy Name,
Newbury, Cleveland, Ohio, will soon be
ready for dedication.
The new St. Bridget's Church, New
ark, N. J., is to be a frame structure,
and will be ready for public worship by
Easter Sunday.
St. Joseph's German congregation,
Youngstown, O., project a new school
house. The Rev. J. Klute will give the
building his personal supervision.
The Catholics of Hanford, Tulare
county, Cal., have recently built a new
church and rectory. The Rev. P. S.
Smith is in pastoral charge at Hanford.
The new church for the Italian
Catholics of Cleveland, Ohio, will be
under the invocation of St. Anthony of
Padua, and will be opened before the
end of Lent.
The German Catholics of Portland,
Ore., have bought a let, on which they
propose to erect a church. It will be
called St. Joseph's. Over $3,500 have
been subscribed towards the building.
The congregation of the Church of
the Immaculate Conception, Youngs*
town, O., of which the Rev. W. J. Man
ning is rector, have purchased a lot on
which they will erect a new church.
There is thus far but one convent of
the Ursuline Nuns in Australia. It is
at Armidale, and its community con
sists mainly of German nuns exiled
when the infamous "May-laws" went
into effect in 1877.
Largely through the generosity of
Catholics in the United States to the
Rev. Father Beechinor, during his re
cent collecting toqr, the Cathedral in
Hobart, Australia, is out of debt, and
will doubtles&^oon be consecrated.

—G. Dunning, editor of the New

They were very pleasant, and he be

—President Monroe, according to a
recently-published letter of his grand

finally dying in poverty, as generally
believed. He says that his distinguished
ancestor left large unincumbered real
estate in London County, Ya., and per
sonal property worth $40,000, which
public records show.
—Mrs. Adeline Roberts, widow of
Benjamin Roberts, a noted colored
Bostonian, is dead. It was her hus
band who, on the refusal of the school
committee in 1850 to admit his eldest
daughter as a pupil, entered suit
against the city of Boston. A decision,
after a long and exciting contest, was
rendered in his favor, and resulted in

—An old Irishman occupied the bar

was drowsy. His eyes could not be
kept open, and his head tumbled about
and dropped over upon his shoulder
and down upon his breast, in a way
that made shaving a difficult opera

a dangerous one for patient. Finally
the barber said, gently, but firmly:
"Look a-here, sir I can't possibly shave
you unless you hold your head up."
To which the response was made with
drowsy indifference: "Coot me hair

A paper on "The Sight Hand and
Left-Handedness'^ was lately read be
fore the Royal Society of Canada by
Dr. Daniel Wilson, President of Uni
versity College, Toronto. His final
oonclusion is that left-handedness is
due to an exceptional development of
the right hemisphere of the brain. Dr.
Wilson, who is himself left-handed,
concludes his paper with the expres
sion of a hope ttat after his death his
•wn brain may be "turned to account
for the little further service of settling
litis physiological pussle." **If my
Ideas are correct," he says, "I antici
pate as a result of its examination that
the right hemisphere will not only be
fomkl to be heavier than the left, but
that it will probably be marked by a
notieeable difference in the number and
arrangement of the conv#lut»oas,"—N.
PRICES OF RARE COINS.
United States Money Which Is Worth
More Than Its Face Value.
In the history of the Philadelphia
Mint issue of 1885, you will find on
pages 147 to 153 inclusive a list of
American coins and their prices. Be
low I give a list of prices, which are
higher than those given in the history
of the Mint, and are taken from a
coin-dealer's recent list. I can not ex
plain the discrepancy, but conclude
that approximating prices will suit my
purpose and meet your wishes. You
will find, when you come to buy or
3ell, that each coin will be bargained
for by itself, and the grades of "uncir
culated, fine, gSod and fair" will have
much to do with it. The desire of some
one to complete his collection may also
have great weight in the transaction.

A STRANGE' COLLECTION.
Che Museum of Crime In the New York
Police Detective Bureau.
The Museum of Crime, opposite the
private office of Inspector Byrnes, is a
shuddering horror not so much from
what is seen as from what is suggested.
Speaking likenesses of shop-lifters,
piek-pockets, burglars and eminent
"crooks" glare from the walls upon
visitors.« Sledge-hammers whose heads
are filled with lead, drags, drills, sec
tional jimmies, masks, powder-flasks,
etc., that were used in the Manhattan
Bank robbery of October 27, 1878,
challenge inspection in their glass
cases. The rascals made away with
$2,749,400 in bonds and securities, and
about $15,000 in money, on that occa
sion but, thanks to our unequaled de
tective system, did not retain all their
booty. Here are samples of the me
chanical skill of Gustave Kindt, alias
"French Gus," a professional burglar
and maker of burglars' tools, which
he let out to impecunious thieves on
definite percentages of their robberies.
The assortment of burglarious kits,
tools, keys, wax impressions, etc., is
complete. The genius of Kindt and
Klein, so wofully perverted, ought to
have made their fortunes in legitimate
fields of operation. Nat White's bo

"Is he making any progress?" was the
anxious inquiry. **Oh, yes? He howls
