CHICAGO.

In the centre of a mighty continent, on ihe shore of an inland sea lay a stretch of low land, whose surface

· was varied only by a line of sand hills and a small stream, glittering amidst the foliage, like the scales of a serpent in the summer sun. Such, a century ago, was the spot, upon which Chlcngo now stands; such was the stream upon whose bosom now floats the commerce of halt a world.

For centuries this place had been the chosen home of the Indian. Here. he had fished, hunted and warred against his enemies. Here he held his coucils and taught the young braves how to hand!P ihe implements of war and of the chase. Often had he glided down the stream in his bark canoe and out on the broad bosom of Lake Michigan. Often had he stood on its bank and beheld in its storms and ca.lms evidences of the Grent Spirit, whom he adored with all the fervor of his savage nature. Wild as the spot a.pp(>ared it bad many attractions for him. With­out a thought of its future fame, he c..'llled the place Chicago, which in his language signified the god of the thunder and the lightning, prpbably from the fact that the soil was c-::mtmually broken up by the lightning.

Time, however, passed on and in 1773 Fathers Marquet_

,-~ I 1 c .,

136 ST. VIATEUR'S COLLEGE .JOUHNAL.

te and Joliet arrived in Chicngo and p1'oceded on their way to the Mississ ippi . On tlwir return Marquette spent the winter nt Chicago nnll in the spring died on the shore of Lake Micbignn. Soon after a fort 'was built at the moutlt of the riv er and for one hundred and three

.. years the :french held a tran~i ent possession of the place. It was captmed by the Englisll nnrl ca lled Fort Dear­born, bnt shortly after it was destroyed by the IncHans. In the year 1790 six sqn:ue milos of land about the fort ,:y~s ceded to tbe United States by the Indians and eight years nfter t he new Fort Dearborn was built and gnrr iwncd by 63 soldiers. During this yea1~ J ohn Kinzie-tbc father of Chieago- arrived. This noble man, by l.1is h:in clncs~ a.nd faim eEs towards the Indians won tllcir confid ence and as a cons . ~qu ence he and his t~nriily were alwnys respected l>y them.

U11brokcn peace reigned abont the fort until the year 1812, when the Inc1inns, incited !:;y the Engli sh made sflveral unsuccessfu l attacks on the fort. Finally a mcsen­ger arriv ed from Genernl Hull, then at Detroit, with orders t o evacuate the tort. The commonest soldier in the ranks saw the folly of such n pr::ceeding, but order> had to be obeyed. Accord ingly on the morning of Angust 12th. 1812, the plnce was evacuated . When about a mile and one half from the fort, the soldiers were attacked by a band of Indians, who, after killing t wo thi rds of the whites, obliged the rest to sunender. All the wo unded were tomahawked and the fort was destroyed. This engagement took pla ce about ~he spot wher e 23rd street now crosses State.. The fort was rebuil t in 1816 nnd Mr. Kinzie wit.h many of those who had escaped the massacre ofl812 returned. At this time and for many years nfter there were bnt three families and the g:;).rrison at Chicngo. In 1829 the town was laid out and from this date, it gradnnJly improved and incrensed in size and population. Four yems later, with a white population of 3!)0, the town was inco~·­

porated, the first newspaper-the Chicago Democ1at­was st rn·tecl by John Calhoun and the pioneer hotel of Chicago, the Grcentree, was ope ned to the pnblic. This same year the Indians ceded the remairrder of their lands in Illinois to the government anci set out to their 11ew home beyond the Mississippi.

Progress now became the motto of the inhctbitiuts of the incipient city, The sand bar that impeded the mouth of the river was removed and a stenmboat entered for tl)e first time. On the 4th of March 1837 Chicago became a city and in May the first Mnyor was elected- William B. Ogden, a Democrat. He received 469 votes; hi s opponent, Mr. Kinzie, a whig receiving 237 votes. T en years after its population nnm ber~ed 16,589. Its bounderies were enlarged and remained so, ·until 1869 when they were extended to the presen t limits. Day by day, people came and the city prospered won-

clerfully, until in 18"/J it had a .pop~:~lation of 325,859. , But in thi s year, the thirty eight o1 its existence, a

calamity befell Ch~cago, which in a tew hours swept away the labor of years. This was the great ID.reof 1871.

· "A voice js ringing in the air, A tale is trembling on the wire, The people shout in wild despair: Chicago is on fire." ..

At 10:30 Bunday night October . 8th, 1871 the fire began ncar the corner of De Koven and J cfferson Streets. The origin of the fir:·e is shroud ed in mystery. The story of the cow kicking over the lamp is untounaed and lacks certainty. The summer and autumn had been very dry and everything burned like tinder. Moreover there was a strong south westerly ·wind blowing at the time and in an hour's time the fire ha\1 advanced a mile. Crossing the river at Van Bnren Street, it attacked the business portions of the 'city. Huge stone and brick 'structures melted bef<:we the flames. Along the river banks the great heaps of coal emitted dense volnm es of smoke. The sh ipping and the bridges were also enc ircled by the fiery el em ent. ~

At 2:10 the fire reached the court-honse ;,nd in a few. moments the vast structure was in lhmes. As the dome totered the bell pealed, as if in sorrnv for the doomc(l city. Five minutes later the dome fell with an awful crash.

The scene presented at this moment was sublim e but trrrible. Millions of blazing fagots were flying thrOt1 6.h the air; the roar of the ad;rnnuing tlam ~s , rivalled tl~e

roar of the ocean in a t empest; the limestone of whieh many of the buildings were made would flake off under the action of the intense heat, with a sound like tl1e continuous di scharge of mu sketry. Now aud . then the . dull t.hud of some falling building woulu reach the cn.r. The intense heat created new currents of air and the lire often turned back, burning squares in tbe teeth of [L

fierce gn le. It is on occasions like this that the true chnrncter of

men is seen; and i~ was certainly curious to note how the people of Chicago bore their loss. The streets were crowded with people hurrying hither and thither; strong men weeping like children; others composed but with looks of blank despair; elegant ladies dragging trunks about, who a day before could scarcely lift a band satchel; children with swollen eyes and blackened faces vainly seeking their parents in that vast ci·owd where each seemed intent upon himself.

By TueSday evening the fire h21.rl ceased. It burned while there was a bonse in its path and died away when it had no fuel bnt tbe open praries. The Queen City was in ashes, with smoking masses ofruins, grim, deformed and tottering walls to mark the site of her palaces. The fire bad rendered 100,000 people homeless; bad burned

17,450 buildings arid had swept over a surface of 2,124 square acres. The value of the property destroyed amounted to $199,000,000. The number of lives lost can never be cort·ectly estimated. It has been put down at 300 . .

The great question after the fire was, how to provide for the hom~)ess. Relief was wanted, and it came. Never before had the sympathies of the woild been so aroused· It se~med as if that wave of fire had drowned the selfish feelings of men. Like a flash, the cry of distress went throughout the world, gathering strength as it travelled and the sum of $3,000,000 was contributed. Cheered by the sympathy of the world the citizens went to work and Phamix-like Chicngo arose from its ashes, more beautifnl and magnificent than of old· Twelve prosperous ye:1rs have passerl since the frre and great things have been accomplished. No trace of the fire now remains. The population bas doubled and Chicago with the energy and pluck of her citizens bids fair to become, in the future, the metropolis . of the world.

One thing on ly do we regret-it is that St. :Viateur's day was not nltogether so cloudless a,1d sunny ns we had made up our minds it would be. We wer~ not disconcerted, though we~ere disnppointed, -fo1· we knew our games would not spoil if it did rain. As we could not carry on our field sports thnt dn.y, we indemilified ourselves by :dl possible in -door eujoyment. Very Rev. P . J. Conway V . G., who honored us with his presence.. this year, on our fe~ti val d:<y, re:td Community Mass at 7 o'clock in our little 'chnpel and mostofthestudents received Holy Communion from his hand.

At 9 o'clock the ceremouy of the vows took place. We all assembled in the front hall and having enton{'d the "Quam dilecta" filed in proces~ion tv t.he parish church, two loud choruses singing the alternate verses. Vei·y Rev. Fr. Conway also assisted at this ccremohy and preached a very' ~loqucnt and encouraging sermon the text of which was, "Martha, Martha, thou art con­cm·ned about many things; only one thing is necessary, Mary hns chosen the bel.ter part whiell shall not be taken awn.y from her." After showiug the excellence of the choice of the -religious state, he dwelt at some length on tile natnre of the three vows of poverty, chastity and obedience ' and on the perfection or the religious state. Then he wttrmly exoortetl these yuuug men about to enter on the list of Christian cduc:~tors ut' youth. He showed them the vast Held of their labor, tlw plentiful harvest and the want of laborers-and hav ing pmised their noble pnrpose he closed by wislling them to l!e ever true sons of St. Viateur. Brothers Daudur:mtl and Dooling were then presented to Very Rev. Father Superior who presided and the two h:tppy fl81Jimnts prvnounced their vows in the midst ot' a brilliant illumination of the S.'Lnctnary antl floral decorations, "hich SUlTOundings together with the inspiriting melody of the hymns bespvke a renl feast. Benediction of the Blessed Sacrameut was given and we all marched in proctlssion to the college while sing­ing the great hymn of praise the "Te · Deum." The nerdy enlistccl Brothers then received lll1ll1}~ a w:n·m shake of the hand nn<l manjr hearty cougratnl:.ttions ti·om their t;uperiors, Brothers and Students.

Uuch of the remaiuing forenoon was spent in social conver~c and ~tmnscments of various kinds.

The customary

of St. Viutcnr's day did not fail this year. The college refectory was tastily decoratcrl with greens and flowers m.d still better IYe're the tables decorated with viands

TOUT CHANTE.

Oh! tout chante davs mon âme, Comme un luth mélodieux. Tout prend des ailes de tlamme Et m'él!lve vers les cieux!

Entendez-vous sur la terre, Dans les célestes hauteurs, Ces voix pleines de mystère, Ces ineffables rumeurs?

L'hirondelle, de l'aurore Redit le brillant réveil, Et la cascade sonore Bondit aux teux du soleil.

L'airain, dans la tour bénie, "Prélude aux heures du jour; L'abeille à la rose tleurie Bourdoune son chant d'amour.

Les traiches ~rises soupirent Dans les branches de l'ormeau, Et les nots du lac expirent Sur un doux ut de roseau

La blanche rosée essuie Des tleurs le calice pur; L'Insecte naissant déplie Son aile d'or et d'azur.

La vague orgueilleuse crotùe En faisant frémir les airs;

\ Et le grain de sable rotùe Sur le rivage des mers.

Le vent du soir m'envoie Des bols les mourants échos, Et la voile qui se ploie Ses cbanJ;s lointains sur les tlots.

Dans son berceau, l'entant rève, Parlant aux anges du ciel; Et dans le temple s'achève Le cantique à l'Eternel. ·

L'étoile pâle gravite Dans l'immensité des cieux; Et du poète palpite La lyre aux accents pieux.

Obi Il n'est donc partout que doux ch.ants et prières! La terre est un écho des Invisibles sphères, Et comme tous ces bruits de la nuit et du jour

Font tressaillir d'amour Les fibres de mon cœur! Leur· sublime murmure,

Voix confuses de la nature, Emplisse ma j~une â.me ainsi qu'un joyeux chœur

Inonde de tlots d'harmonie L'enceinte réjouie Du temple du Seigneur 1

0 bruits du ciel et de la terre, Mélodieux accords, éternelle prière,

Chantez toujours! Vous trouverez Dans mon cœur un écho pour redire avec zèle Le'redoutable nom qu'aux vents vous murmurez,

Et que l'étoile aux cieux révèle Tont rayonnant de feux sacrés 1

UNE PROFESSION RELIGIEUSE.

M**

Quels sont ces chants qui retentissent dans les airs? Où cette foule empressée porte-t-elle ses pas?

Ces hymnes sont ceux que chantaient le Roi Prophète et que des cœurs épris d'amour. pour Dieu répètent aujourd'hui, après trente siècles.

"Que vos tabernacles, sont aimables, Dieu des armées 1 Mon âme a aspiré au parvis du Seigneur, elle a dé­

failli de désir."

Cette foule accompagne dèux jeunes novices qui franchissent le seuil du temple pour consacrer les prémi­ces de leur vie au service des autels et à l'enseignement de la foi. ·

"Le passereau trouve une demeure, l'hirondelle un asile où elle dépose ses petits.

Pour moi, Dieu des armées, ô mon Roi, ô mon Dieu, vos autels! ... .

Le vœu de pauvreté, en les dépouillant des biens de la terre, les rendra riches des trésors in)périssables de l' éternité.

Le vœu d'obéissance les fet·a libres, comme les anges, e.n conformant leur vôlonté à celle de Dieu même.

Le vœu de ::hasteté communiquera à. leur esprit une forcé indom.pktble et trn.nsfigru:,era leur ehair, leur don­nera quelqne chose dela pureté et de la transparence du crystn l.

Le sacrifice est consommé ! Le chapelet, h conronne de la Vierge, est passé au tour de leur cou; le catéchisme, l'alphabet de la plus sublime philosophie, est mis entre leurs mains, afin qü'après avoir euseigné le:; peuples, ils puissent bdllerdans l' éternit'é; · ·

Des chants de triomphe' éèlatent dans l'enèeinte sa­crée; les anges y r épondent dans le ciel et les religieux donnent à leurs nouveaux con fi· ères le ~aiser de paix et le doux nom de frère!

Bénies sont les âmes généreuses qui se laissen ~vaincre par les regards de complaisance que le Seigneur jette . sur elles et savent fouler aux pied~ les ·esp 3ranc~s éphé­roèref d'ici. bas !

QUEBEO. ,· ., .. ·.·.

Québec! que de touchn.nts souvenirs ce nom n'éveil- · le-t-il pas dans le cœur du Ca.11adieu! C'est le nom de la vieille capitale de la nouvelle France. C'est là qu'ont été joués les principaux èlntmes de cette !listoire qui flit l'honneur elu dernier-né des peuples. C'est la cité des Champlain et des Montcalm, c'est le_ berceau et le boule­vard de la mee frança!se .en Am érique., _ ' Le touriste qui descend le fleuve est frappé d'admi­ration en apercevant Québec pGur la première fols. Le Cap Diamant se dresse devant lui clans toute sa gran­deur sauvage et superbe. Sur ses hauteurs ln. citadelle est fièrement assise, toute hérissée de canons et d'instruments de guerre. Vous tournez le cap, et vous vous trouvez en face de la ville. La belle terrasse Dufferin~ttire d'abord vott <l attention; elle e8t à plus de deux cents pieds au-dessus elu fleuve et près d'un demi mille de laro-eur.

LE CERCLE FRANCAIS.

ferie.-. p~en, ·Si vous n'aim~z pas à vo'us faire tirailler, de prendre le premier venu. Bientôt vous parvenez à la · Haute-Ville. En montant, vous rencontrez l'ancienne égli.~e de Notre-Dame-des-Victoires, ainsi nommée par no:=; pères en mémoire de la défaite de l'amiral Phipps, en 1690. C'est · dans cette ' église que les premiers colons s'assemblaient pour prier, lorsque quelques ca­lami·tés/leS menaçaient, et c'est là que bien souvent leurs prières furent exaucées ..

Il tarde au visiteur de . se rendre sur les champs <le bataille où l'attiré le charrue de ces lieux historiques autant, peut-être, que leur beauté unique. Qui peut foq}er cette terre sacrée des plaines d'Abraham sans tras11aillir? C'es t sur cette plaine onduleuse et verte que le brave 1\:Ioncalm, plein d'ardeur pour la belle cause qu'il défendait, a été vaincu dans la mémorable bataille qui livra le Cana.da au pouvoir Britanniqùe. Sur un modeste monument nous lisons ces mots: "lei est mo:r:t wolfe victorieux." ~aible récompense pour le sacrifice de sa vie, il est vraie, mais sa victoire, comme sa mort, a rendu son nom immortel dans l'histoire de ce contineut. Nous chercherions en vain quelque monument à la mémoire de Montcalm sur ces plaines qu'il a rougies de son sang. Le "V re victis'' se Î:üt remarquer ici comme partout ai lleurs où la guerre a passé.

Après les plaines d'Abraham, rien n'est plus digne cl'nne visite que le vieux couvent des Ursulines, fondé en 1639, par Madame de Pelleterie. On: y voit bon nombre de peintures magnifiques, quelques reliques de saints, une parcelle de la sainte croix et de la couronne d'épines de Notre Seigneur. Ici repose le cqrp~'< de l'illustre Montcalm et de q1.1elques personnages ~listin­gués du Canada.

Si aucun moumcnt ne rappelle la mémoire de Montcalm sur les plaines d 'Abraham, nous en trouvons un bien touchant ici. Sur un· beau marbre placé dans le mur, à droite de l'autel et hors du sanctuaire, nous lisons ces mots en langue latine; "lei repose Montcalm, etc." Mont­clam, blessé à mort en combattant, se fit transporter dans ce lieu de paix et de sainteté. Muni des sacrements il s'éteignit paisiblement dans le Seigneur. Ses compagnons d'armes et ses compatriotes pleurèrent sa mort com­me i~s nnraient pleuré la mort d'un père. Ils levèrent les mains au cîel en supplication pour le repos de son âme et déposèrent son corps dans cet asile sacré où depuis un siècle et demi il repose {l. l'ombre de l'autel. Quelles prières! Quelles ·funérailles! Quel lieu pour dormir le long sommeil de la mort l

Vous êtes encore dans Québec. C'est un beau soir il' été: suivez la foule vers la fameuse terrasse Dufferin; entendez·-les s'extasier sur les beautés innombrables qui frappent leurs yeu~. Quelqu' un admirera la citadelle qui s'élève à sa droite et il ne parlera que de ce Gibraltar

Américain qui sût r~pondre si fièrement j;tdis par la bouche de ses canons aux sommations de l'ennemi. Un autre vantera la longue chaîne des Laurentides qui s'étendent du côté du couchant et que le soleil, maintenant au terme de sa course, embellit de ses rayons d'or et de pourpre. Un troisième arrêtera ses regards sur le fleuve qui passe à ses pieds: il préférera à tout autre merveille cette immense cours d'eau qui S'enfuit mnjestueusement vers l'océan. Un dernier, am,tteur enthousiaste ae la vie paisible, s'arrêtera à

contempler la riche vallée qui l'l'étend de Québec aux Laurentides. Dansees camp::1gnes dorées de moissons, il remarquera les nombreuses paroisses qui dorment paisiblement à l'ombre de leur clocher. Il leur enviera cette parx suprèrne, que le bruit des villes ne viént j amais troubler. Si quelques uns prMèrent un point d-e vue à un autre, tous cependant s'accordent à proclamer Québec le plus beau site de l'Amérique et l'un des plus beaux du monde. Le canon du soir surprendra ainsi les promeneurs à admirer le panorama grandiose qui se déroule devant enx et à causer des touchants souve­nirs historiques qui s'éveillent ici de toutes parts.

Telles sont, dans un langnge bien imparfait, les pensées qui m'ont frappé pendant les quelques jours que j'ai passés dans la Capitale. J'ose croire que jamais je n'oublierai ce que j'y ai goù.té de vrai plaisir en ressentant ces fortes impressions qui nous exaltent imperceptiblement jusqu'à Dieu, et nous portent à le bénir d'avoir placé devant nos yeux de Ces spee~acles

qui nous rappellent de temps à autre notre patrie céleste.

CACOÙNA

A vez-vous· vu Cacouna et ses joyeux baigneurs? Qu'il fait bon d'y accourir, lorsque la chaleur vous acca­ble, quand le soleil de Juillet brille les fleurs des jardins et l'herbe des prés ! Le Village est échelonné le long de ]a côte et a plus de deux milles de longueur. Les mai­sonnettes, l.Janches pour la plupart, sont cachées dans les sapins et quelquefois perchées sur la pointe d'un rocher. Quels doux nids couverts d'ombrages où l'on peut se cacher pour fuir le bruit et le tracas des villes!

Mais la plus gnmde jouissance, c'est d'errer au bord de la mer, comme on appelle ici le ·fleuve, et de se laisser aller au courant de ses ondes rafraîchissantes. Quand la marée est montée, vous voyez les baigneurs hom­mes, femme~, enfants, se diriger par groupes ven. la rive, avec leurs habits de bains s()ltS' le bras. Puis la toilette · finie, on se précipite dans l'eau: quels ébatsalorsl . quels cris, quels bruyants éclats de rire! La gaîté et la jeune~se se prennent par la main et semblent se jouer au milieu des vagues limpides.

L'eau vous glace au premier abord; mais courez plongez, nagez, et quand vous sortire;r,, vous vous sentirez un nouvel homme. Quelle souplesse dans tous vos mem­bres! Comme vos poumons s'.ouvrent avec aise pour aspirer le salin, la brise forte de la mer! Votre t ête ne s'est-elle pas aussi sentie rafraîchie? Vos idées n.e. sont­elles pas plus riantes maintenant? L'avenir ne vou herce-t-il pas de rêves plus roses?

Je ne connais pas de quart d'heure plus délicieux que celui qui suit le bain, surtout quand le soleil vient vous réchauffer, que sa chaleur vivifiante vous pénêtre jusqu'aux os. Il y en a qui s'en vont faire un tour sur le fleuve; d'autres courep.t sm· les rochers; quelques uns ouvrent un livre; mais un plus grand nombre se repo­sent au soleil. Qu'est-il besoin d'auteurs sur cette plage? Quels poèmes comp:irables à celui que la nature ouvre ici devant nos regards? Quels chants plus poétiques que eeux de la mer calm0 ou courroucée?

La saison des bains, cette année, n'a pas été am•1'i agréable que d'ordinaire, à cause rles pluies .fréquentes de cet été: il y a eu plus de brouillard que de soleil. · Les touristes ont fait fortune contre bon cœur, bravant le froid et l'humidité qui d'ailleurs ne sont pas à

redouter à cette saison. La température vous force-t_ elle à garder la maison, on n'est pas seul. Bien des amis se donnent ici rendez-vous, et que l'on fait . vite connaissance avec des personnes qui cherchent le délassement et la santé! Sous le toit hospitalier qui nous abrite, ce sont caueeries sans fin, joyeuses parties de whist, longue veillées pendant lesquelles les chansons et la musique vous retiennent bien tard dans la nuit.

Ce n'est pas sans regret que l'on brise le charme de ces rencontres d'un jour, de ces amitiées qu'aucun nua~e n'ont obscurcies. Revenons-nous jamais ces figures aux allures franches et affectueuses? Rencontrerons-nous encore sur le chemin de la vie le bon vieux Pasteur et son aimable Assistant, leurs serviteurs dévoués, Cécile et Zéphyrin, et tous les gais compagnons de notre vacance? Hélas! peut-être ja'mais; mais si ce bonheur nous est ac­cordé un jour, avec quel plaisir nouveau, nous saluerons Ca~ouna et sa baie enchanteresse et tous les amia que nous y avons laissés!

and delicacies of every sort. V!3ry Rev. Fr. Conway . toolr dini1er with ns; he pre~ented the floral Cal~e to tpe ~tuclent wearing the medal of .goocl conduct w,J;10 luckily was his nephew Miles Lancaster. At the close of dinner the following addt'ess was read to Ver:Y . Rev. Fr. Conway~ '- . .

Very Reverend and Dear Father Conway.

\V e, the students and faculty of St. Viatenr's College, gather around you to-day to return our sincerest thanl>:s in deigning to lend yonr presence to grace this oc.ca­

. sion-the happiest event of the scholastic year. Though the duties of your high office in the past as

in the present have b.een always many, demanding your .. .almost undivided attention:. nevertheless we always ·· ~1i1~d yon llere on noteworthy occasions to take part in

our little celebrations-:-to encourage us to the a~quisi­tion of a sound Catholic educatio:n of whieh you your­self are such . an admirable and jealous patron. We causes of our Joy-as well as a significant honor_.a Joy because in you our institution has a friend- an honor, in as much as in your sacerdotal dignity as Vicar Genera,! of tlie great (1:ocese of Chicago, your name is a household word in tbe h .~arts of all as synonymous with everything that is good, that is charitable,. that is Chris­tinn. Your eloquent "ords addressed to us this morning showing what ftttherly care you bestow upon us are, however only a sequel to your pnst acts of kindness-

... _yonr many fa.:ors towards us. We cannot but recall to y our min rl your ·presence here last June to crown the labors of the departing year and your significant testi­monbl::l of merit awarded on that occasion- nor can we refrain from allnding to your bestowal upon the com­munity of St. Viateur the mRnflgement of your own edtwational establishment in Chicago-a lasting monu­n)ent of yonr energy and love for the diffusion of christian thought and christian morality.

And in this last act, while looking around us to-day and beholding so many of our old professors yet so dear to us whQ are now laboring under your immediate control and supervision-together with so many .tair representatives of your own school-we cannot but say that the bonds ot our former friendship are still drawn more closely together.

'· '·For all' these favors and very many more, Very Rev. and dear Father, we sincerely thank you. Your kindness, the interest manifested in our welfare, your continual proof1> of your lQve for all of us shall be cherished by grateful hearts.

In Reply The Vicar General answered and said he was delight­

eel to be among the students once more; it brought him back to 'the days when he himself was a boy·, clays .which he would like to live over again. He thanked the students for the very flattering sentirp.ents contained

in the address just read :mel Rcceptccl thein as a token of respect shown him in the high position he occupies. Re also said that he always OJclmired the congregation: of· ~t. Viateur and that he was· glad to have some members of the oniet to insttuct the youth committed to his care; that pe hoped it was on~y the beginning of the great work they are destined to perform and that the members may be soon established in eveTy city of the Union. Th@ Rev. Father dwelt especially upon the necessity of yonth being instructed in the learning founded on sound principles of morality which are sure to be inculcated in an institution like this. He concluded his very felicitous remarks by granting, at the request of Rev l!'r. Marsile an extra holiday, which favor was received with the greatest enthusiarm. WE) sincere1y thank Fr. Con way for the high honor and kindly interest he has shown us, and as he has not been a stranger to us in the past we hope to welcome him often in our midst in the future.

In the afternoon many of the games were played in the recreation hall and premiums were awarded to the champions as is shown in another column.

The day was well nigh spent when we thought we must bid it goodbye. According to the traditional custom we drew up the programme for the

FAREWELL CONCEHT .

of the evening. After an overture by the College band Rev. Fr. Marsile was called upon to speak on the clay of St. Viateur. He showed the ·amiability of vil~tue in our dear young Patron Saint and said tha,t by practising the same virtues we would deserve "to dwell in the home of the blest where feasts know no encl. He also spoke of this day as bemg the happy occasion of meeting parents, friends, old College associates, teachers, and students of kindred Colleges. He expressed himself as the most sorry for. the infavorable weather we had yet, be said the bright smile of our young guests from Chicago is as sunshine around us.

This little family concert treated us to many tid-bits of genuine fun highly enjoyed by all. There were selections rendered by the Glee club, the Fireside-club, the Chica­go Glee club; Vocal J os did his share. Clog dances, Dragoon songs, flute-solos, Arabian songs, · were some Of the most enjoyable features of the evening. M:r. Sauliu ot Holy name school-also favored us with a masterly piece of declamation. Rev. Fr. Mainville was then called upon to give the closing remarks. He kindly and hearti­ly thanked us all for the good courteous reception we gave him and the representatives of llis school. He said that be had spent many a happy year at St. Viateur's College and that, though his attention was called to another field, still he was glad to revisit his old home. :Fr. Mainville then tendered a most cordial invitat,iou to the Faculty and

140 ST. VlATEUR'S COLLEGE JOUHNAL.

stu(1ents of th·~ 1jollege to visit his school nosuring us nll that they would be most welcome at any time. w ·e surely n.ccept Rev. Fr. Mainvil le':; g racious invitation nnd thank him for it and we hope soon to be ahle to gi vc ourselves the pleasure of seeing our fellow institute tu which we wish all manner of success :mel prosperity.

Truly if College life is betimes wearisome and desert­like there are at least fouud it in some greeJl and very reti·cshing onses; and we h:we just p~ssed one of' these.

How bu opult we feel on such a dny with fnlness of li g-ht glee :md gen uine whole-souled enjoyment. Fondly will we look l.mck on this one of the h:1ppiest e ver spent at College and let us wish ouroel vcs many many anoth­er w joy ful :md nil hnil ed ~t. Viat eur'R dny.

A Rome dispatch to the Paris Temps, states that the Pope has creitted the Archbishop of Seno and the Arch­bishGp of Rheims, Cardinals.

In the Diocese of Grand Rapids, 'Within the last three week~, two churehes have been dedicated; one at Camp- . bell's (!orners, another in Ogemaw Co., and a church is to be bnilt at Linwood.

Mgr. Lord P etre, the Catholic priest who has a seat in the English House of Lords, inherits from his father nearly $1,000,000.00 exclusive of the vast entailed estates which will be devoted to Catholic education and church work.

PERSONALS.

Ed. Caron, ~84, is learning the drug business in Kan­

kakee.

Thos Gil,bons, ' 83, is teaclliiJa the yu mw Chic1ao " l 0 " b I C ea b,ow to shoot. Tom pussesses the requisites of a good teal"her and we see no re:tson whv he should not S•Hcceed in hi·s new venture. "

<l. R. Sadlier; "84, is/making a codrse of Theology at St, Mary's tiemiriary, B:tltimore. vVe wish him success in hi s studies and hope to hear of his speedy ordination .

W e annotmce with ple~tsure the promotion of Frank Galarneau, to a lucmti ve position on the B. & M. R. H. R. nt McCool;;, N 0ll. Frank is fast developing into an expert at the railroad business. · Rev. A. CaiT, who spent some tim e with us ln.st year

was orclainerl clnring t he summer and is no'.v stationed as assistant at Aurora.

Rev. Bro. Di<mne is still engaged in teaching at St. George. We congratjllate Rev. Father L~sage in hav ing

. secured so co 1~1pete nt a ten.eher and predict a successful year for his school.

EXCHANGES.

The Notre Dame Scholastic comes to hand this year with its customary regularity-nor has it lost any of its former merits-excellencies that at once place it almost first in the ranks of College Joumals. "Class10s" in the last issue was a well written Essay.

Of the Ave Matia, a Jourmll devoted to t he honor ot the Mother of God ed ited by Rev. D. Hu(lson, we can not say any thing too praisworthy. JLldaing the -bi o·lt

. 0 b

order of Ess::1ys- of poetical contributions- coming ns they clo from the pen of the most cllstiugnished Catholic writers at home and nbroacl , we know of no periodical of the same kim! in the English lnngunge that can lay claim to such a stand ard of excellence. ·

T he Unive1'sity Press of 1\i:tdi son Wis. does not seem to be a very exce llent representn. ti ve for such a leading Stat,e institution. Its locals are too numerous-its essays too few .

The College 1lfessage is replete with choice essays as usual. It is always a welcome visitor. Its appearenee is not as atractive as it might be owing to the type which is used. The columns present a faded appearance to the casual observer.

The A clelph1:an in artistic make-up is as usual to the front. The matter it contains is a! ways very read­able-though there ig an amount of room for endca v:ors to manifest more throrough literary taste.

T ne Dcmville News nmong our larger weekly con­temporaries is one of the most pleasing and interestino· , . The numerous cuts of distiJguished personages-its homerous slwtches and clippings make it an exceeding­

. ly relishable family newspaper-and worthy of that liberal patronage which it has obtained .
