He was deairooa of being Informe I of the Inner workings of things and •ought to discorer the mod rea of qc-dooa, which, on the surface, are not very evident. He showed a special desire to learn bow hla recent prououncements were regarded by the tJiijiklng men of the country—pronouQcementa such as bis encyclical on the condition of labor, and that, more recent still, addreafSHl to all the rulers and nations of the universe nsx>ioraendln|i religious unity.

There has been, with few and nnlmportant cK'eptlona. a wldespnwd an<l unanlnKsia chorua of praise b*r this document, which Is re-ganled ss a nile that If strictly adhered ft) would go far to heal the social troubles now evlsting. With respect to the second Its iofluetire and alms have been condderably marred, at least for the time t>Hiig. by the assassination <»f President C'am«»t, which seized the uni veraal attentlou at the very moment the encyclical urging unity In religion was Issued to the world. Thcae two great documents Bish»>p Keane regards as lumloous examples of the policy of Po|>e Leo. <>n the one hand he holds opt his hand to the laboring clas^rs and strlvsw to better thetr position and to riilse tbtm from the depths to which they have 1>e«m Cv»nslgned by the neglect or the gree<l of employers He appeals to employers to act in a f'hrlstisD manner to tbelr workmen, and he InCtdiwtes on the workmen the duties they owe tow.anl their employers This la hla graud con-trlbutlou to the settlement of the scsdal question ami toward the temporal wellbeing of the w«»rld.

This Is specially displayed In hla attitude of affectionate persistence In striving to bring the i'athollc element In France to tl»e sifle of the republic. In spite of Ixisult. which h.sa hot been spared, and opposition, which was strong and de-termlueil. he ha* persevered and Is gradually aoftoning beans and wlniilng minds aw.sy from their (giginal prejudices to see where right and common sense are marahaJ«yi together. The g«»T»‘rnment of the republic begins tardily to acknowlodge the advantage*, to be gained by thl* adhesion of the c*m-srrvatlve element of the c»>untry and grudgingly begins to be more Just.

The rapidity of hla moveDH-nta. tlie vlgt>r of his speech aud gestnres were simply surprising In a man now In hla 83th year. He ex-pr-w*e<l to tl»e Po|k* his exp4*otat.on that Le*> XIII. should lire for ten yi-ars to come.

"My informant frankly admitted that the difference Is radical. " *We lack that particular quality of imagination, or sympathy, call It what one will, which enables some missloners literally to be all things to all men. We are. broadly speaking, always ourselves: always English, or Scottish, or American; always conscious of our Protestant calling. <Hir Protestant arrogance, our Protestant aloofness. Naturally 1 believe that In the long run our compensating qtmlitles tell, and predominate, but at first, and for long, we are handicapped. " ‘Now, the White Fathers, for instance, are not prlmsrtly French, or Catholic prteats, or missloners, of this or that lord spiritual or temporal, but are men preoccupied by a burning zeal ss heralds of a message of vital Importance,—a message Independent of Anything sav# its tmroedlscy and paramount value. To a great extent this magnificent abnegation and discipline are due to Oaffilnal Lavlgerle, who never failed to impress upon the missloners whom he sent forth that the first thing they had to do was to conform In all reasonable reifcects to the manners, customs and haUits of tho Moslem i»eople among whom thej* were to sojourn; to f«*el with Cheik, see with thetr eyes, as much as pofclblo Judge with their minds. To this end he made the Fathers adopt a White robe similar to that worn by the Arab; to this end, he uot only made tb4m learn to speak Arabic fluently, and to be familiar with the Koran and the chief writings upon It. hut insisted CÉX their adequate physical training In hdraemanshlp an^alL ktnds of exercise. 80 that, when *1i 'Whlfd^^a** ther goea amdng- ths la.

The Arab, with his intense faith in the abf^lute unity of Allah, more rendlly follows one who does not con-^l»e his hearer with different arguments regarding the Trinity, but apeaks clearly and logically of God. and Christ and the Virgin—more readily than one who dwells upon a mystery which Is altogether beyond the Moslem coiupreben-sion or sympathy. Moreover, the prlesta do not, aa a rule, say much against Mohammed; rather, they accept him frankly as a minor prophet, but one whose faith l»eoflme perrerte«l even in his lifetime. and whose Influence has been mainly a harmful one.* "From what 1 saw and heanl tliroiigh-ont the leugtb and breadth of French North Africa, I am convinced that one of the greatest works of contemporary Christianity Is l»eing fulfilled there In divers ways and through divers agan-cles. though mainly through the Instrumentality of that famous prelate w’hose name will henceforth bo llnke<I with those of Cyprian and Augustine as among the foremost glories of the Church of Christ in Africa.” Afro'Amsricsn Press Association.

It has been often charged that the Negro is dull and uniuteresting; that he has no racial characteristics that are “sul generis;" no native impulses to deeds and achievements that leaye an Impress in human history, and no place but that of subserviency In the strife of nations. There may be a degree of truth In all this depressing estimate of his worth, yet w*e need not seek far to find refutations more or less complete, 'mere arc so many things that contradict and make ridiculous the old stereotyped conclusion concerning the Negro’s mental and moral worth that it is not worth while to argue against them. It is much more agriieable aud reassuring to make note of some of the evidences that there is a soulfulness and power of captivation everywhere amongst us that now and then surprise and confound our enemies. We have recently been again reminded that we owe much to the people of Eugland for their gracious recognition of the manhood and womauhwd of the American Negro. , Twenty years ago when the American people were still unaccustomed to regard their colored fellow’ citizens as other than serfs, with no status of respectability in America, the British people beard with rapturous delight the sweet singing from Fisk University. These unaffected students so won the hearts of all Britain that chivalry c‘ould scarcely go farther than in the spontaneous attention and compliments paid to them. The charm of Negro minstrelsy w’as not more pleasing to the sturdy Englishmen than the unexpected refinement of these women. Our character as women worthy of womanly recognition was then firmly established In England. The extraordinary Interest aroused throughout England by Miss Ida B. Wells* thrilling recitals of American savagery Is the further evidence of how British chivalry still regards the colored American woman. If the present; manifestation of British sentiment in our behalf is higher pitched and more definite in Its Influence on American public opinion. It is because Miss Wells represents more Intellectuality and a purpose that lifts her into the ranks of reformers. The unstinted social attention paid to Miss Wells is a pleasing proof that British people are great hearted enough to pay Just tribute both publicly and socially to those of our women who deserve it. What Miss Wells has accomplished In England strongly suggests the Importance of a greater sense of conscious dignity and self-respect among colored women. If the compliment paid to our womanhood in England means anything, it means that worthy women of the colored race will find more appreciation than they dreamed of, If when they deserve such recognition they will but ex-peflt And demand it. It cannot be denied* that \>ur own prejudices are largt»-ly responaihle for many of the dlsad-vantagéiC that are charged to the otner race. "íhere is a largeness, of warmth of heart here In America that has not yet been discovered to us. These pleasant surprises that are constantly t*om-Ing to us both at home and abroad, as an offset to race resistance whlcil seems everywhere to confront us, shoiild inspire us with renewed courage and c«»n-vlctlon that there is a sense of justice, a philosophic calm of thoughtfulness all about us that we can convert to our own and uplifting, if w*e will but seek it heroically and in good temper.CINCINNATI.

The tolling of the beds, lobowi-d by the melodious peals of the chimes in the church of the univer.'«ity, anq*^)unced ’o the Thousands gathered on thegrounds the solemn «.peoing of the Eucharistic Convention. The Church which had been ' pened since an early hour for the c >n-veni* rce o* tlie visiting clertry wh » wis ■» d to c«-lebrate mass, wa-* filled with the devout laity long before the lime appointed for the pontifical mass. A sight seldom seen here or elsewhere was afforded the the peoplé when *hev vazed upon «be long line of nearb. 200 clergy, decked In cas sock and surplice, mured abbots and Bishops in «heir flo vfng purple entering • he large sanctuary, folh>\'ed by the Arch bishop ercorted hy thedeac ns of honor and offcers »if the mas-*.

Being one in the love towards this most august sacrament, the pri«‘sts are knitted together by the closest and holiest of ties. Her ce the Importance and blessings of «he Eucharistic Lea^e cann«»t be to easily overesiimated. Its influence forg'>odis beyond computati«>n. The very thought lifts one up to the sttidirae idea of human existence—to contemplate an adoring army of God’s anointed, associated with • he angles in offering up acts of prá4-e, love and gratitude to our Lord in the Holy Eucharist. What abundant bene-bictions may w’e not look for in the wake of such a society! The movement is In the right direction. It is one of faith, hope and cltarity.

Let us build thre- tabernncles,^ one for tbee, one for Moses and one for Elias.” Af'er the niasss the clergy, headed by Provincial Corby, repaired to the Carroll Hall refectory, one «*f the University dining-rooms, while distinguished laymen were entertained by Preside «t Morrissey in the Brownsou Hall refectory. At 2.30 in the afternoon the delegates assembled in Washington Hall. Bishop Maes was elected i» rmauent chairman, and Father O’Rt'.urke of Lovisville secretary. A commendatory brief from Pope Leo XIII. was received by the audience standing. Then followed the reading of papers and addresses until the hour of adoration. Thé c*^llege basilica was thronged with worshippers to see the pro-’ession of the blessed sacrament. The solemn benediction was given from the steps of the main entrance to the university buiding, where the hands of devo.ed brothers had erected an altar. The procession then wound its way to the church, where the final benediction was given by Blsliop Rademacber, while thousands joined in chanting the "Te Deum.” The Name of the Soldier who Trust his Sword into the Redeemer’s Body. The name of the soldier who pierced Christ's side with a spear while he was hanging on the cross has been pres rved in the legenrary lore of the Church as Longinus This man was one of the soldiers appointed to keep gi.ard at the cross", and it is said that he was converted by «he mi*-acles which attended the crutixiun. The leg*-nd even goes further, declaring ti«at he was one of the company of watchers set to guard the sepulchre, and that he was the tmly one who refused to be bribed to sny that the body of our Savioo««r had baen stolen by the disciples. For his fidelity to this great truth Pilate resolved on » is*estruction. On thisaccount Longinus 1« ft the army to devote hisentir»* time to spr« ding the Gospel, but he did this without first gcting perm«ss'on fn»m the Govern* T o« Judea ' r from R«)me he and two fell«»w—o diers whom he »*ad «onverted r* tirci to (’«ppadocia, where they began to preach the won I (»f God. At the ins igaiion of some of the leading Jeas, however, Pilate sent out a detachment of soldiers, who suprised them a« a place where they were holding a Christian meering, and when* they had three crosses set up as an illus«ation of the grea^ tragedy which had occurr d but a short while before at Je«u8ale«»'. All three were killed and beh*-aded, and their iieadsoail^-d upon the crosses and carriecl in trjumph hack to Jerusalem. SOME NEW TICKLEBS.

"We read how that profligate Heliogabalus, the Roman emperor, had a single dish on hie table once that cost $200,000, and how another Roman, Aelin Vertís, gave a supper to a dozen cronies that cost a quarter of a million dollars. Then Vitellius, still another Roman and an emperor, likewise entertaining his brother at a littla snack that used up a couple of hundred thousand; but these were ancient fellows, who had nightingales’ tongues and humming birds* brains and similar marvelous dainties. Coming down to modern days and plain, ordinary, every-day ham and eggs, I ate a supper once, in Washington, that cost a friend of mina $1.4 JO. A gentleman named Parker kept an establishment where tha Press club is, and devoted it to án-tertainlng gentlemen at sundry games of chance. One night tha , friend 1 speak of and myself we^ killing an eveqing there together, when we conceived the.brilliant idea that a visit to Parker’s would be just the thing. We put it -Into execution at once. I have never gambled la my life, and my friend has not dona it since. Wo went up stairs and entered the room just as supper waa announced. "My friend did not want to eat anything, but I was hungry, and when ' some plausible rascal of a dealer told me that there was broiled Smith field ham, flanked with pullet’s eggs as a sort of side issue to the otherwise gorgeous feast, I broke for the supper room despite my companion’s pleadinga Of course, ha followed me, when he found hie protestations were useless, and we enjoyed the feed immensely. When we oame out my friend pulled out a twenty-dollar bill and said he would play a turn or two to pay for ou* supper. I begged him in turn not to do it, but he was as obdurate aa I had been. But why liuger on tha misery. Ho lost his tweuty-dollar bill and tried to get it back. In two hours $1.40J were gone glimmering. I have never felt so downright hungry since that a slight request from a mere acquaintance cannot keep ma away from a dead-head feed.** Squ'rrela.
