A "·n.r in the dim distance, almost beyoncl the setting snu, turns the hu»y life of neigllboring collep:iat~ kingdoms, Notre Dame, Ning:u·a, Ch:1mpaign :mel others.

EXCELSIOR!

vVe live in an age of prog ress. In O lll' you ng country, we have b ut to look nbo tt t us to bebuld the rnpid stricles we are making in all tbe branches of commerce and agricn lture. Jill provrment follows improvement, till we beho]d ourse lv es blessed with all imaginable colllforts, never drea mt of by o ur ancestors. Steam nav ig:1tion hns so far mflstrre(l tlie once impassible fur ies of the dee p tb:tt botll hemispher es seem now but parts of the one and same co ntinent. Hailroads have done rtway with distances, aucl such is t he perfection of our Postal Sen rices tha t a ll the worlcl is become as one vast country, or, perhaps better st ill , ns one large Ji:uni ly, the members of which cntertaiu close relations 0f friendship with one nnoth cr.

Amid t his activity and bustle, man finds himself at home. I-Ie find s therein employment for his busy and ever restless mind. His so ul exp&nds itself, it develops its many htent energ ies and fi\Culties, it lives, it breatlles, it moves and soars, till it becomes a wonder of subtlety and force intermingled.

Yet, in all this, however beautiful it may seem to our view, there lies a great danger. Now-a-days men a re so entangled in business from their youth that they are apt to forget that if their minds are so wonderfully fitted for material commerce, they are yet more splen­didly adapted for spiritual and mental occupations wbicb would y ield them a thousand-fold more plea­sure.

True, it is a good thing than to know how to count and to cipher , to read and write and talk of the price of bread, pork, cattle, etc., not mentioning the state of the mining, m:mul::lcturing, railroad ing or stcam-ship­ing corporations wllicll cover the surface of the globe.

But bow far greate r and more beautifu l and more nobl e i<> it not to be cap11..blc of entertaining one's self anrl others with the thought of the greatness and mercy of God , our Creator, the beauty and grandeur of our immortal souls, the progress of nations in the way of civilization and cu lture, the immensity of tbe heavens peopled with their constelbtious and planets, in a worrl, the advancement of man in the in tellect~al

ways of science. Nothing und er t he sun is more ad­mi rable than a rea lly cultured sou l. A man of know­ledge, a sa\·a.nt, carries on l1is brow a sign of magic w hich eutices t he bewild ered admirers who crowd about llitn and obs truct his way, trying to gather the golden words of lea rni ng whic l1 fa ll from hi s lips.

\i\Tho has not read of the mysteri0us inl!uences ex­ercised by orators over vast multitudes whom they conkl sway and raise to .fits of passion or tame dowu

to softness and tears, by that magic wa.nd of eloquence with which nature bad endowed them! Who, indeed, has not felt the refining influence of the poet's presence, who hcts not admired his sympathetic ::mrl lov ing soul, attuned to a ll the miseries and sorrows 0f,poor human­ity, longing and sighing for the innocent pleasu res of a f uture~ horne where sorrow wi ll be no more! Ab! who has not met on his way through life the encouraging, the soothing smi le of a holy personage, whose glar;ce penetrates to the b(lttom of souls, leaving there in a per­fume of peace [lild serenity uever before experienced and entirely unknown to and unsuspected by world­lings.

Yet all tlwse charming pleasure,; an<l sensations are ord inary occ urences in the life of in te llt~clu a l men of all departments of science and learning. They are the honey which the mind culls, in its wanderings tllrough the b looming fields of study, to nour;sh and sustain itse lf am id the difficulties which now and then ~eset · it.

For, even in such ennobling occupations, trials ~tn d

obstacles are encou ntered which would bailie our ener­gies if we were not goaded onward by the recollection of past successes and triumphs. Nothing great is effect­ed without labor and sacrifice, says the language of the past.

Courage then, young readers, you who are lay ing the corner-stone of your etl ucation amid trouhles and toi l. Nature bas end oweGl you with talents, but it leaves to you the task of developing these end :)wm ents of mind an d body. One enj oys best what he has acqu ired with perseverance against di fl'it! ulti es. So the more you will labor for the acquisition o£ knowleJge, the more you will relish that learning when it will be in y our posses­sion.

Another cons·iderat ion tor you shall be the assurance that unce this treasure acqu ired t here isno fear of losing it, for you possess it in your S() Ul, where theives cannot penet rate. Fortunes in money are mar1e and lost in a day, for silver ancl gold are tl.J e representatives of all that is venal, all that c:1 n be bough t and sold at market. L earning a lon ~ remains the noblest of ri ches , the re­ward of the brave and the godly wbo hesitate not to enter the are na where the g ian ts of the intellectual world meet to fight the peaceful battles of science.

Money may buy titles of honor and dist in ction, in­signia of nobility, fin e clothes and pretty houses, but it cannot pmchase culture, or brains, or common sense, much less can it answer for true learning. In a word ' 'There's no royal road to knowledge." All who wish to taste the heavenly sweetne~s of refinement and perfect edu cation must set earnestly and perseveringly to work1 thoroughly convinced of the impossibility of arri ving to that end in any other manner imflginable.

Nevertheless, let no one im agine that tbe work is ,

a tedious and ingrate one. Tlle setting off is rather dull, but it soon becomea n. source of frequent enjoyments and delectations, the very notion ofwbich is nnsn pec­ed by the ignorant a.nJ the l::lzy. W e need but reflect a moment upon the noble lot of thn erlnc;ated to con­vince our elves of the t rntll of what we aclv::mce.

Who leads tbe world to-rlay? ho feeds the intel-lect of the millions th~t read t.he newspaper ancl the periorlica.is? Who cull the abundant fruits of experi­ence and learning by traveling tbrough foreign lands nml unenrthing the history of nlmo t forgotton em­pires? Who earches the bottom uf the sea as well as the sub terranean caves of hoth continents there to find a clue to the past? Who, in truth i at ·t-he he:l.cl of all mOvf:ments tending to better man's condition here­below? The learned, the educaterl, the mo t g0dl.Y of 011r race, on whom redounds the purest, the loftiest glory wllich can gladden the heart of a mortal, that of being a source of blessings to his kind:

A.. D. G.

QUEBEC.

There is a most striking resemblance between Quebec and the average old European c:ty. Narrow and contin­unliy winding streets the conspicuou ab ence of side­walks old ch nrches with their profnsion of rare treasures, gnble roofS, and tbe marked u e of white to11e which meets the eye in every directi on, and above all its masdve gray wal ls and pon,-~erous gates, al l tend to heighten it resemblance to the cities of the old world. Montreal to be sure is unique and olrl fashioned but modern improvements are steadily succeeding in push­ing themsel v s forward cou~picuously , and the older parts of Bnf>ton abound in narrow winding streets, and gable roof, but in no other c ity than old Quebec do we recognize the genuine European sa.vor, its peculiar antiquated appearance.

The City is situated on n. curve oft be St. Lawrence on the side and summit of Cape Diamond, a bluff 01 sol­id rock over 850 feet high. A more maguificent site for a fort cou!d sca.rcley have been imagined, it is in fact often called the Gibraltar of America. Tbe point de re istance is the great citadel which is defended at the present time by 250 English Troops. In the centre of the fort, i the immense parade grounds where the soldiers exe~ute t.heir manceuvers, and all around next to the immen e 20 foot ramparts are the !Jarra.cks or homes of the officer and soldier . Along the wall, over looking the river, it double row of immen e guns, but h CP of 1.be l n.rg~>-t it in the flngstnff . bn s t11Jl1 on the

L.

corner 350 feeL above tbe river, the highest in t,he vicin­ity. The view from this point is not s l.l rpnF'ed on the t . Lawrence. Directly below you is the Du fferin T enace and almo t perpendicularly beJow t he terrace Lower Town, thE> principle points of wbicb are et1sily di ti n­gui hed, the landing, custom-bon e, and market place. The ri er, at this point nerJy a. mile wide winds gr:wefnl­ly around you forming almo ta semi -circle. ·on its bosom float alru o t enTy size and ~ hape of bC\at, from the can0E>, a mere spot at this bight , to tbe stately steam-hip, !ewi ng its white foam ing trail behind it. Across

the rivc'r i:s the town of Lev is whose cliffs tower nearly if not as high as those even of Quebec. T o the east is the I sle uf Orleans, and behind the whole panorama in the hazy distance circles range after range of t he stately Laurentian chain. Th ough not cqnal to the citadel's view the terrace and b:l.ttcry aff01:d rare tren ts fo r the eye.

The plains of Abraham lie in the immefliaLe suburbs and are of particular interest, as the fie ld of the f:t.mous battle of Quebec in September of 17 59. A neatly inscribed monument marks the spot where G en. Wolfe fell. There are two othtr historic::tl landmarks which deserve attention. One is the little unpretentious brown house on St. Louis street to whi ch Gen. Mont­gomery's body was taken on the memomble D ecember 31, 1775, the othet· attraction is the castle of St. Louis, the oldest house in the city.

The great pride of the ch urches li1~S in their mag­nificent paintings, tlJe structures thcmseh-es :l.re not much. St. Patrick's, under the Redemptor ists, is perha;)~ the finest; the Basilica, Cardinal Tachcreau 's Cn,thed ral, i some the worse for [lge b ut has the finest collect ion of vestments in America. Among the Protestant churches the Anglican Cathedral is a cu rious old pile, tlte others of either denomination are of little note.

Laval, the greatest of Canadian universities, is one of (~uebec's greatest features. There are many fine museums connected with the college ; the Zoological collection has 1200 species <,f birds :l.ncl 7000 insects. The library hM 100,000 volumes, and the pict 1re gn,l­lery is che largest north of New York.

Among the public buildings the P:trliment House, is the mo~t elegant in e1·ery respeet, the Court H ouse, a massive :l.nd co'ltly though unpretentious edifice, was just fini shed this year.

To the tourist from the "States," u.s the Canacli:l.ns . cn,ll our Country, Quebec appears a very slow stagnant, unbusiness, like town. But in the affections ai the love r of n.rt and history, Quebec has a warm corner, and a visit to its old gray walls and commanding citadel would be remembered as a most happy event.

Charlemagne constru i:;it sa ch:cpellc e.n 7!JG co rn me VOlt S s:cvez. Le pape L é(•n lli, croit-on, la consacra en 804 a insi qu'il n. é té diL. L<t, cha pell e est 11: 1 octogone n ~couvert d'une ha ule co u pol(,. Uu po ur to ur polygonal de lG côtés, à deux étages oi.t l' on entre :\l'ouest par 1111

p ortail eu tour et à r est par un e chapelle double, en­volope l'oc togone. Ce respect.aùle mO tllt mer.t ent à suLir comme bi en d'autres de dures épren vcs. Vous s:wez qu'r1p rès a.w>i t' se r\'i n.u co uronnem e nt des roi::; dP G er­mauie, il fut transt:a·m é e n éc urie p:1.r les Norm !'t n(ls !.

Othon Ill le lit restorer '3 t omer :\ l'intér ieur. P lu ­sienrs incendies a.u 12ième et a n l 3ième :; ioc le l< ~ dé­vastèrent. Le bourgm estre G erhard C ho rus fi t construi­re 1<:: ehœ ur dans la seco nd e moitié el u 14i (~m e siècle. Ce v:1.ste chœ ur b:îti , sur le plan de la Ste. Cll apell e de Paris, est pour ainsi dire le meilleur morceau. Cepen­clttnt le co rps c1e cette co nstructi(ln pins riche que celui r1e ln Ste. Chapelle c\ l'rxtéri e ur ne l' est pas ~utant à

J'intérieur dont les mm s sont trop nns ct les fen êtres trop pilles. Dans le même temps on é leva h chapell e de la Ste. Croix, a.ppe l .~ e a uss i de St. Ni colas. Elle est en entrant, à gauche. Cette chapelle goLhi quc dont le chœur est en avad et en face su t· le côté gauche est or­née d'une riche galerie sur trois côtés: derrière, :'t droite et en avant. Le chœur est,~, dong le étage. An premier est l'autel de St. N icolas au dessus du quel se trouve un grand crucifix très expressif du lGième siècle, ce qui à fait donner le nom de Ste. Croix à la chapelle. La partie supérieure est consacrée à St. Michel eL on y ar­rive pu· la. galeri e. On y voit le sarcophage en marbre blanc de Paros dans lequel Fréderi c Barùerousse fit cl é­poser les restAs de Charl emagne en 1165. A mo.n goût les autres chapelles ne sont rid1es qu'<\ l'ex téri eur. Pour entrrr :\l'égli se proprement dite les portes sont très laid es de même que le porche, si j e puis appeler ce­la porche. C'est plu tôt nne cham 1Jre dans la tour o uver­te en arcade sur la nef. Cependant il ne üut pas oublier que la grande. po!·te à deux b:Lt tn.nts est en bronze. Une ei-pèce de tête de l,IOn ressort au mili eu d e chaque bat­tant; le reste est uni comme une planche. Le tout ferme mal et roule su r de g-rosses pentures de grange! C'est henu lXtreeque c'est vieux! Consolation pour ce ux qui Qnt vu de meilletws jours!

En entrant dans l'églse l'ni"pPct est ce lui d'une rcs­pectahle antiq uité. C:c !':t il· pauvre même, touL est b la nc sai ; ïùais vous vous sentez profondément impression­ué en présence rle cet en sem b le d'arcades à travers lesquelles vous en trevoyez le chœur. Les eo lonnes qni soutiennent le deuxi ème ct le troisi ème éuige de l'octo­gone son t en marbre, en granit, d en porphypre. Le t out (1e couleur grise avec chapi teaux blanr,s. Le fond de la coupole est en mosaïque représentant les <louze v ieillards de l'Apocalypse sur foncl d'or. Dn fond de cette cou pole pend le Pllor11s, espèce ùe lustre en cercle elon-

né par Frédéric Barberousse. Il est en cuivre c1oré et soutenu par une chaîne de fer brtttu. Il a une dou:t,a ine de pieds rl e diam êt:'e et est beau comm e antiquité. Il j)C1JC1 au-cle1':-.;ns t1e l' endroit où étaient les res tes de Ch<trlemagne. Soit lors de le ur expositi on, so it parceque le c:orps rl u grnnd monarque reposnit, comme les uns pensent , sur )e marbre qu e l'on voi t sur le sol, ct dans lequel est insct·uté. ••Cur <> lo M.ng uo" en g rosses le ttres de bronze on cl e cuivre. C'es t clans la premi ùre gnlerie de l'octogone q11 e se voit l'espèce de fmtenil en marbre blanc sur lc·q uel était nss is Charlemag ne que l'on re trou­va l.Ji eo cunserv~, en l'an 1000 . lorsque Othon Jlt ouv rir son tombeau. (;bnrl emag ne avait le seeptre da ns la main droite, le liv re. des Evang iles snr les genoux, un mor­ceau de la Ste. Croix lui servait de diadème, son corps port.ait un ci l! ce ct la panetiè re du pèlerin étaitattachée à sa ce inture, Il paraît donc qu'i l n'ava it pas été enter­ré ci vilement!!! A l'entrée cl u cbœur se trouve· l'autel du St. Sa0rement qui n. remplacé l'antique untel elu couronnement. Il est entouré ci e qu:Ltre co lon nettes sup­portant des anges, le tout en cu i v re d : •ré. Au fond l1 u cbœ ur se trouve le maître autel placé SJJr un dais gothique en ma rbre blanc et supporté par cles colonnes de porphyre très précieuses et aussi anciennes que l·~s pn'!mièl'l;s construction dn dôme. A droit.e en dedans de la balustrade est la chair de vérité donnée par Henri II, comonné à Aix-la-Chapelle en 1 OOX.. Elle est couverte de lames d'or et o;:n ée de reliefs <l'ivoire, d'agates, de gemm es, e~c. Le conducteur nous montre toHtes ces choses e t avec toutes les explications possi­bles. Il y a au chœ ur nn pnpltre gothique e n bronze du 15ième sièc le. 11 a la forme d'un n.igle posé sur un riche piedestal percé à jour. Le baldë:quin du trône pontifi­cal est clû au comte cl e Nclesson. Le siège de l' évêque a été donné par le comte Vars du ellitteau de Ca;n; Je trône ol.t il pontifie est un don de la princèsse Joséphine de Hohenzollern. L' égli se !'t benucunp de choses pré(· i­euses, entre autre la clwpe de dtœur de Léon lll qu'il aura laissée je suppose, à l'occasion de la consécration de l' église en 804.

La merveille du dôme e~t son tré&or qui n'a peut­être pas son lYtreil en deça d l:ls Alpes. Il surpasse même celui •1e Cologne. Il e:;t conservé dans h chapell e hongroise et rangé dans d es armoires d'un ti ès g rand prix. La chapelle hongroise ('St, celle que vous voyez sur la g ravure en avant et à droite de la l.OLH.

BOOKS AND PERIODICA LS.

" T ALES FoR EvENTmi<:" is the title of a neat little work containing a co llection of stori es for the young. It is a· l'epri nt. from the Ave .M:nria series, and this fact a lone insures its pntetical worLh and utility . Some of these sto ri es are fhort, other.; are of oTeater lenath · l'ut "' "' ' a ll bear wit.h .them instru ct ion an rl. mora lity inwrouaht

. ' z:. ' however, with such dexterity a~ in no wise to detract fro m that in terest of narrative ancl plot, which draws the tender mind to th e perusal of stfeh compositions. Whnt a grand benefit accrues to the snm total of human ity, by tl1e inst.illing of principles governing the moral life of man, in to Lhe yet unformed mind under t he pretext of affvnl ing it a pa~si ng pleasure: Such les­sons unkn owingly commenced in tb e budding years vf

. childhood, bear sou nd and luscious fru it in the days of riper manhood. and so a work of philanthropy continues unseen, wiser by far and more etfect i ve, because farther­reaching than the many w hich catch tile eye of pride and move the lips of praise.

"Tile Choice of an Occupation," In the Forum, for August, is an article of more than ordinary interest·. Bestdes grappling wiLh his subject in all it ;: JH:aclical p hases, t.he a uthor l.las also interwoven with IJiS argu­ments which are of a strong d eep lln e, Lbe brighter colors of pleasantry and witticism. That he has laid bare the ques tion in its fu ll scope, would be rash to assert and, in f>tet even possible, tvo m ucb to expect from an article of t he ordinary periodieal length! But t hat he has p roposed several points pregnant with me:ming to those vvho wi ll give t uem a serious con­sid eration, there can be 110 doubt.

Such a t1eari ng have hi s opening remarks , on the ne­cessity of a col leg iate prepararion to t hat transition period, when the young man ceases to lauor for self, a.ncl throws hi mself on the busy j ostle of life, that it would no t be ill -timed to recall them it, these pages:

·"Beyond the line of things t hat are certain , there is t he atmosp!Jere, as we call it, wh ich is ind eed the mar­gin now water and now lane'!, of a beach which the d aily fl ood-tide covers up, or from which it recedes. It is in this mysterious margin that the g reat questi ons of human life are cleveloped. The education wh ich a college gives carri es one to the marg in. The work of the world b egins on the other si cl e of the margin. In the margin between, somet imes in a few d ays, some­times in many years, are to be wn •ught ou t the mys­teries which from eo llcge life lead to the world's life. Thry are easier for one man' than for a nother, perba ps.

T hey are, perhap:S easier in one vocation th nn they are i n another. But there is no man in ::my p.ossible voer. ­tion who will not fi ud that thi s d ifficul t step is to be taken, or this difficult pasi' <t ge met. In the .lnst resort 0 £ all, the young mHn who seckscouu5el mu5t find it in comm uni on with his God ." Might not howe ver ibe youn g man commu ne with his Gcd before the co unsels of men ball failed him? If help were \Oucl!oafecl bim from this so nrce in ex tremity, why not obviate so many ditiiculti es by suing for it from th e sta r t? l iVoul rl it not be more con sistent with hi s reliance on a God, were :.e to ask a g ui dance whice be mny hope to ob­tain? This migh t be the key to the solving of the great puzzle which to many is t he Gordi an-knot of li fe .

The Century f<•r September cont: .• ins m) article; which, just now, is m or~ tl.l ~tn passing in terest. Of la te all eyes have been fi xed on the " City of Brotherly Love" where bas just been celebrated in a tru ely regal style the "Centennia l of the Constitution. ' ' In the article r eferred to, the auth or bas en<lea vourecl to g ive a thorough hi s tory of the event we have commemorated and be bas well succeed ed. The ti tle of the article is: Tl.le framers and the · framing of tl;e ''Constitution." In glancing over t l.le names of those who composed that august body, we no longer wond8r that our con­stitution is such a master-piece o£ prucler.ce and wis­dom; and to their wisdom indeed we do owe it. For it was far from being a work of intuition; on the con­trary , bard brain work and strength of will a.cllieyed the r esu lt. From the 28th of .May 1787, when a quorum was llacl , until the 19th Sept , the same yea.r, every species and plan of Governm ent, with the ex eeption of Monarchy, was fully deb,ated; and though nom: of them was a.doptecl in its integrity, they served as the basis of comp •·om ise: fu si<,n. So it happened that the cousti­tntion cnme forth the work of no one man, but the re­sult of the wisdom of thai great body of men, who con­stitute the Galaxy on the firmament of our history. Tl.le above named article is one which well repay the reader. Tbe style is interesting, and well suited to his­torical su bjec:ts.

The 1vfagazine of Americrm H istoroy is a fi ut-ly il­lustrated and well gotten up periodical. It treats of events of history in a novel and interesting m::wner. In its issue for Sept. one article attracts particnlar a t­tention for its strength <•f sty le a nd antithetical treat­ment. Union, S ecession, A bolition, is the title. The a ut hor proves that our g rea.t ·webster was imbued, not with the idea of abolition, in that great qu estion which led tu Ci vil war, b ut his whole mind and heart was bent on preserving the Union. The same no uld be said of Calhoun. He, too, was imbued not with the thought of aboliti on , but with that of St>cession or Disunion.

ST. VIATEUR'S COLLEGE JOURNAL. 81

TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF ORDINATION.

The following account of Fa~her Henry Boeckleman's tenth anniversary of Ordination appears in the New Record of Indianapolis, taken from the News-Letter. Father Boeckleman is now pastor of St. Joseph's church D8lphi, Indiana. '

"Rev. Henry 13oeckleman celebrated the tenth anni­¥Prsary of his ordinatien to priesthood on Tuesday, Aug. 30. The occasion is one which will long be re­membered by the estimable father. High lYiass was celebrated at the usual hour in the morning and was largely attended. The music was unusually fine-in f;tCt the arches of St. Joseph's echoed with a melody nr.usual. Rev. Fatber Boecklenian was ordamed a priest at St. Viateur's College, Illinois, on Aug. 30, 1877. He has been in charge of this parish for the past three years. TIJirteen guests sat at the well filled tables at the dinner hour, and wit and humor jointly ruled as toast master. Father Boeckleman was the recipient of many telegrams and letters of congratl\lation. His guests, many of whom are highly distinguished in Catholic circles, were as follows: Very Rev. Joseph Brammer, V. G. of F'ort Wayne; Very Rev. E. P. Walters of Lafayette; Very Rev. M. E. Campion, of Logansport; Rev. Joseph Lesage, of St. George, Ill., and Rev. Achille Bergeron of Notre Dame, C~icago, both classrr.ates of Father BDeckleman; Father King of Covington, Ind. Rev. Chas. Lam per, of Attica; F ather Roche, of La­fayette; Rev. M. Marsile, ' C. S. V. Pres. of St. Viateur's College; Rev. Peborcle, D. D. Prof. of Theology in the

same college; Fr. Guendling and Father Bleckman, of Michigan City, and Father Messman, of Fort Wayne. The occasion was a most enjoyable one and long to be remembered by those present."

PERSONALS.

His Lordship, Mgr. Fabre, Archbishop of Montreal, is reverently but anxiously awaited by the students of St. Viateur's College, who hope to have the honor of such a dis1 inguished prelate's visit to this their Alma jlfater. His Lordship is expected towards the end of this month.

Boeckleman-vVe give, in another place, the account of Fr. Boeeklema!l's celebration of his tenth anniver­sary of priesthood. Father Boeckleman '77, visited us last commencement day and was appointed, by the old students then present amongst u~;, president of the Alumni Association. Ad rnultos annosl

Father .Legris, our esteemed prefect of studies, has

returnecllately from Kamouraska, Canada, whither he had retired for his summer vacation. The climate of Quebec proved too severe for him and resulted in an attack of sickness from which be is just emerging. May home climate, and our bracing fall weather restore us our prefect.

Belanger-Rev. Father Alf. Belanger, C. S. V., for the last two years pastor of Brimfield, Ill, in the dio­cese of Peoria, bas accepted a position as chaplain of the Deaf and Dumb Institute, in the Oity of New York, under Archbishop Corrig>m. Fr. Belang·er's many yean' experience with Deaf and Dumb ii:J. the City of Mont­real, where he founded an institution for them, renders him most fit. for the important post he now hold s.

Cregan-Rev. Brpther Cregan, C. S. V.,late ofFranee, is now director of the Novices. His well known genial dispositions make ]lim a general favorite am<)ng those who have any relations whatever with him. He is also Professor at the College of the Commercial class, etc.

Champagne-On account of ill-health brother Cham­pagne, C. S. V., who bad retired for a rest with Father Belanger, in Brimfield, is now living with Father Beaudoin.-He has kindly condescended to give music lessons at the College.

McEachen-Brother McEachen, C. S. V., .last year of the Holy Name School, in Chicago, is now stationed at the College and will occupy himself with the supervi­sion of the "devils" of our printing department, Brother Mainville, C. S. V., retaining the upper hand in the di­rection of the press work in general.

O'Callaghan-We bad the plPasure of meeting James O'Callagban, '83, who brought a younger brother of his to dwell among us. Jamf"s is yet at his old work in Chicago, but he speaks of giving it up for the study of medicine.

Hogan-It is a pleasure for ns to learn that Dr. John Hogan; '83, now- stationed at Joliet, is doing most suc­cessful business. His old classmates undoubtedly re­member his humorous dispositions.

· Co11vey-Harbonr-vVilliam Convey, '87, will prob­alilly enter the drug business in Chicago, whilst Celeste Harbour, '87, will direct his energies to the abstru':le study of Law. Farewell ye classical remembrances!

·walsh-We wish all succ'ess to William vValsh, '87, who has recently obtained a position as clerk in a clothing store, N eedbam, Indiana.

Thirty-two Priests and Brotht::rs, all members of the community of St. Viateur, followed the exercises of their annual retreat during the weeks ending Aug, · 28th. The numhet· of the members of the American Obedience is not very great as yet, but if we call to mind that the Noviciate is opened only since October, 1883, we feel like congratulating the community on its rapid increase ::tnd many signs of prosperity and success,
