OUR BOOK TABLE,
Plain Talk About the Protestantism
of To-Day. From the French of Mgr.
Segur. Boston: Patrick Donahoe.
1868.
This is a little work setting forth in
very plain language the differences be’
tween Catholicity and Protestantism,
and furnishing Catholics with easy and
ready arguments in defence of their
Faith. It should have a wide spread
circulation.
Memoir and Letters of Jenny O. White
del Bal. By her Mother, Rhoda E.
White.
“ Fair pledges of a faithful tree.
W’hv do ye fall so fast ?
Your date is not so past
But you may stay hero yet awhile
To blush aud gently smile,
And go at last.”
Boston : Patrick Donohoe. 1868.
The subject of this Memoir was a na
tive of the State of New York, and
known in the city by her maiden name of
White. She was a young lady of singu
lar sweetness and gentleness of disposition,
who, having married a leading citizen of
New Grenada, and accompanied him to
his home in South America, entered at
once on her arrival upon a career of
benevolence and usefulness so vigorous
and comprehensive as to win for her the
reputation of a Saint, to which was added,
when she was soon after cut off by
fever, in the flower of her youth, the glory
of a Martyr. The Memoir is plainly
and pleasantly written, with all the
fervor and ardor of a mother’s love, and
has a steel portrait of the sainted sub
ject. The book is neatly and hand
somely gotten up, as all Mr. Donahoe’s
publications are, and will be read with
interest and profit. We commend its
perusal to our readers.
The Vickers and Purcell Contro
versy. Respectfully Dedicated to all
Lovers of Truth. By Jno. B. Purcell,
Archbishop of Cincinnati. Benziger
Bros. 1868.
This is a compilation of a series of
papers published by Archbishop Purcell,
in the Cincinnati Catholic Telegraph , in
reply to Rev. Mr. Vickers, who attacked
the Bishop in a sermon the former made
before a German Protestant Society. It
is a masterly vindication of the Catholic
Faith, and a complete refutation of the
stale slanders heaped upon it by Mr.
Vickers.

NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
The National Democratic Convention
met at the New Tammany Hall, in New
York City, at 12:20 o’clock, on July 4th.
It was called to order by August Bel
mont, Esq., of New York. Hon. Henry
L. Palmer, of Wisconsin, was chosen
temporary Chairman. After some pre
liminary business, and reading the De
claration of Independence, the Conven
tion adjourned until Monday, at 10
o’clock, A. M.
On re-assembling on Monday, at 10
o’clock, A. M., Hon. Horatio Seymour,
of New York City, was chosen perma
nent President, and a Vice-President and
Secretary from each State. On taking
the Chair, Mr. Seymour made an elo
quent and appropriate speech.
On Tuesday, the Convention again
met, and adopted a platform, in substance,
as follows : Slavery and secession are
M9ES& ©I Til I©ITI,
regarded as dead issues. Bonds payable
in lawful money, unless the face calls for
coin. Equal taxation of all property, in
cluding coin. One currency for all.
Economy, reduction of the Army and
Navy, abolition of the Freedmen’s Bu
reau, and inquisitorial modes of collecting
revenue. Tariff for Revenue. Subordi
nation of the military to the civil
authority. Restoration of all the States.
Amnesty for all political offences; includ
ing the restoration of suffrage in all the
»States. The control of suffrage belongs
exclusively to each State, and Congress
has usurped it in violation of the Consti
tution. The Reconstruction Acts are
unconstitutional and void. Thanks Presi
dent Johnson, and invites all parties to
unite on this platform.
The Convention then proceeded to the
nomination of, and balloting for, candi
dates for the Presidency and Vice Presi
dency.
LATE FOREIGN NEWS.
BOMB.
June 23. —The Pope, on Monday, deliv
ered two separate Allocutions, one on the
convocation ot an (Ecumenical Council,
the other on the reforms recently intro
duced into Austria.
PAPAL ALLOCUTION.
London, June 24.—The text of the Papal
Allocution on the state of religion in Aus
tria has been received here.
The Pope declares that the Concordat
should have been regarded by Austria as
perpetual in effect, and he warns all per
sons w r ho approve of the laws recently
passed by the Reichsratli concerning the
press, religious toleration, civil marriage,
and public education, to beware of the
spiritual pains and penalties attached to
violations of the sacred rights of the
Church.
On the occasion of the delivery of this Al
locution, in the Consistory, the Pope, also,
announced that he had granted a general
pardon and amnesty to those who invaded
the States of the Church last year, with
a few specified exceptions.
ENGLAND.
G. F. Train in Court. — London, June
23, 1868, —George Francis Train has again
been arrested, and was to-day brought be
fore the Court of Bankruptcy, in Basing
hall street.
He vehemently protested against his ar
rest, declared that it proceeded from politi
cal motives, and appealed to the United
States army and navy for protection. He
was cheered by the spectators, and, after a
brief examination, remanded to prison by
the Judge.
THE IRISH CHURCH QUESTION.
In the House of Lords, June 25, at night,
a great crowd was present, as an exciting de
bate on the Irish Church question was ex
pected. Many members of the House were
on the floor, and the gallaries w r ere crowded
with visitors. Great interest, almost ap
proaching feverish excitement, was mani
fested throughout the proceedings.
Lord Granville moved a second reading
of the Irish Church Appointment Suspen
sion Bill. He said Fenianism had been re
ceived with approval and acquiescence by
the lowerclassea in Ireland, and the discon
tent in that country was general. Firmness
and decision were necessary to put down se
ditious movements; but long before this bill
was prepared, Mr. Gladstone had declared
to himself and others, that the Irish ques
tion must be met, even if it cost the Whigs
their offices. The bill has passed the House
of Commons by an immense majority. If
a similar suspensory law' was proper in Ja
maica, it w'as still more proper in Ireland,
where the Anglicans numbered less than
700,000, while the Roman Catholics num
bered 4,500,000, and where there w'as hut
one diocese in which the Anglican exceed
ed in numbers one-fourth of the popula
tion. This Irish Church was a falure as a
missionary establishment; it was the rem
nant of old conflicts. To call its disestab
lishment sacrilege was absurd, as its reve
nues had belonged successively to several
different sects. Whately had urged that it
was the duty of a State to take possession
of all benefactions which do not fulfil then
object, and other authorities take the same
view. The Church of England would
gain by this measure. The Irish were not
indifferent to reform in 1806, yet riots and
other disturbances obliged the Tories to
pass the Reform Bill. He showed that the
passage of the Reserves Act had content
ed the Canadas. The condition of Ireland
was painful to contemplate. The writ of
habeas corpus* remained suspended, and
Government did not dare to furnish arms
to its volunteers there ; sooner or later the
Church must separate from the State.
Lord Palmerston had said that Englishmen
would never concede until concession be
came surrender. Why should not this bill
be passed ? It was useful and practical,
and its passage would prove that Parlia
ment w'as ready to treat the Irish case
justly.
Lord Grey moved that the next reading
of the bill be postponed six months. lie
considered the Irish Church as an outrage,
but considered the present measure ill
timed, inadequate, and indefinite.
Lord Malmesbury bitterly opposed the
bill, arguing that the destruction of the
Irish Church would tend to sever the union
of England and Ireland.
Lord Clarendon advocated the bill, de
claring that the Irish Church had failed to
carry out its object, and its existence w r as
an injury to England throughout the world.
Fhe Archbishop of Canterbury opposed
the bill.
Lord Derby bitterly denounced it as an
act of spoliation.
The debate continued until a late hour,
when it was adjourned.
The debate w r as continued in the House
of Lords on the 26th, and again adjourned.
IRELAND.
The Esmonde will case has terminated.
The Jury disagreed, and w'ere discharged
without a verdict. This renders the will
inoperative for the present.
The Fatal Accident on Loubhill. —
Sligo, June 7.—An inquest was held this
day before Dr. R. H. Woon, borough cor
oner, on the bodies of Mr. Augustus Wayne,
and Mr. Arthur Hunt, who were drowned
on the previous morning while on a fishing
excursion on Loughgill, near this town.
A correspondent of the Daily Express
states that, on Sunday, a Catholic Priest in
a parish near Tralee, denounced with “bell,
book and candle,” a man named Langley
and his w'ife, whose offence was that they
got married in a registrar’s office, instead
of in a chapel, and that the result is that
their neighbors, w r ho before were amica
ble, will now' hold no communication with
them. A representation of the case has
been forwarded to the Right Rev. Dr. Mo
riarty, Bishop of Kerry.
Orange Outrage at Randalstown.—
One of the baleful results of the series of
Protestant meetings, by which the peace of
Ulster is being disturbed, was made mani
fest in Randalstown, on Wednesday last
after the close of the proceedings in Shane’s
Castle Park. A young man, named Jame
son, who had been in the street convenient
to his own house on that evening, for no
other cause but not being of the true color,
was set upon by several ruffians, one of
whom struck him a blow on the head with
a stone, leaving him insensible on the street.
He w r as immediately carried into his own
house, w here the wound was dressed ; but
he still lies in a rather dangerous state. It
is also stated that the mother of Jameson
applied to a Magistrate to have an order
granted for the arrest of the party who as
saulted her son, but that, instead of receiv
ing any redress, she was told he was a
very troublesome fellow. The police made
several arrests of parties composing the
crowd that assembled on the occasion, but
they were all subsequently discharged.—
Belfast Northern Star.
Lecture by Mr. Train. —On Friday
evening, Mr. George Francis Train deliver
ed a lecture on his travels before a large
and appreciative audience at St. Anne’s
Hill, Blarney, wfith the object of benefitting
the forthcoming bazaar for the raising of
funds for the maintenance of the baths for
the poor, in connection with Dr. Barter’s
establishment. When it was first an
nounced that he would lecture, many in
fluential persons waited on Dr. Barter, and
represented to him the risk he ran in en
couraging a gentleman w'ho had thrown so
much ridicule upon the authorities lately.
But Dr. Barter w'as not to be moved by the
representations of the w r eak-minded, and
maintaining his own view's, he freely gave
his splendid hall up to Mr. Train for one
night, on the understanding that Mr. Train
would eschew all political and religious
questions. Mr. Train consented to thifi,
and though he could not touch on the mat
ters of which he is so competent to treat,
he engaged the attention of his audience
while he imparted to them, in his own hap
py style, w-hat lie saw and what he learned
in his travels through the world. lie spoke
w'armly and w'ell in favor of Temperance,
and expressed a firm belief in the curative
powers of the Turkish Baths. At the con
clusion of his lecture, Dr. Barter proposed
a vote of thanks to him, which was car
ried by acclamation. A sum of £ls w'as
realized by the lecture. Mr. Train left
Cork, for London, on Saturday night, in
tending to lecture at Exeter Hall.

CARD FROM THE ARCHBISHOPS.
TIIE battalion for tub pope.
The publication in the newspapers of a
circular from Rome, to the effect that the
Holy Father has consented to accept the
services of a battalion of one thousand
men, to be raised in the United States, on
condition that the said men shall be care
fully chosen, aud be equipped and sup
ported for three years by the Catholics of
these States, seems to call for some official
notice from the Prelates to whom the cir
cular is especially addressed, and to whose
discretion, as guardians of the interests of
the Church in this country, the subject is
committed. For this reason, and for the
purpose, at the same time, of satisfying in
quiries which have reached us from va
rious quarters, we deem it proper thus
publicly to define our position with refer
ence to a matter of so much importance;
and, in so doing, we have the best rea
sons for knowing that we do but speak
not alone our own sentiments, but those
also of our venerable brethren in the Epis
copacy.
It is needless for us to say, how sin
cerely we desire to uphold and protect, as
far as in us lies, the temporal independence
of the Holy Father, being persuaded how
essential it is to the free and unfettered
exercise of his spiritual supremacy in the
government of the Universal Church. Yet,
the proposal to raise and equip an American
Battalion did not originate with us, aud, so
far as we can learn, it has emanated from,
and been persistently urged on the military
authorities at Rome, by some party, or par
ties, who have assumed to represent us,
not only without our sanction, or author
ity, but even without our knowledge.
What renders this the more remarkable, is
the fact that the gentleman who has suc
ceeded in securing for himself, in advance,
the appointment of Lieutenant-Colonel, to
have command of the proposed battalion,
is one, who, w'e feel bound to say, does not
enjoy, and is not entitled to enjoy otir con
fidence, especially in a position of so high
a responsibility and trust. If he has found
encouragement and support from one or
tw'o journals, edited by Catholic laymen,
w’hich have given place to his ill-advised
correspondence, this does not strengthen
his claims, inasmuch, as the journals in
question are not to be recognized as relia
ble exponents of Catholic view’s and senti
ments, still less, as discreet or commenda
ble advocates of the Catholic cause. Be
sides, the project as proposed, wfith the
conditions which are annexed to it, cannot,
in our judgment, be successfully carried
out, and any attempt to do so, w'ould, we
apprehend, instead of serving the cause of
our venerable and beloved Holy Father,
prove detrimental to it.
It is not necessary to enter into further
details; it will be enough to add, that we
still have reason to know that pecuniary
aid is more needed, at this moment, than
military aid, and will be more acceptable
from us. We shall continue, therefore, as
hitherto, to urge our generous and faithful
Catholic children to contribute abundantly
according to their means, for the support
of our common Father, who will employ
their offerings in such a manner as may to
him seem best; not doubting, that, by our
so doing, w r e shall meet his warm approval,
and merit his Apostolic Benedictiou.

A Cure for Cancer.— -The following
remedy for this fearful affliction has been
used with success in the case of a gentleman
in a Western city :
A piece of sticking plaster was put over
the cancer, with a circular piece cut out of
the centre a little larger than the cancer, so
that the cancer had a small circular rim of
the healthy skin next to it exposed. Then
a plaster, made of chloride of zinc, blood
root, and wheat-flour, was spread on a
piece of muslin the size of this circular
opening, and applied to the cancer for 24
hours. On removing it, the cancer will be
found burnt into, and appear of the color
and hardness of an old shoe sole, and the
circular rim outside of it will appear white
and parboiled, as if scalded by hot steam.
The wound is now' dressed, and the outside
rim soon separates, and the cancer comes
out in a hard lump, and the place heals
up. The plaster kills the cancer, so that
it sloughs out like dead flesh, and never
grow's in again. The remedy was discov
ered by Dr. Fell, of London, and has been
used by him for six or eight years, with
unfailing success, and not a case has been
known of the re-appearance of the cancer
when this remedy has been applied.
Death of a Sister of Mercy.— Sister
Mary Ann, connected with the Academy of
Our Lady of Mercy, at Sumter, died, at the
Institution, oil Sunday night last, after a
lingering and painful illness. Funeral ser
vices were performed by Rev. A. J.
McNeill, at the Academy Chapel, on Mon
day last, in the presence of a large number
of sympathising friends, and the remains
on that day were taken to Charleston for
interment. Sister Mary Ann was possessed,
in an eminent degree, of those characteris
tics of self-sacrificing devotion to the relief
of human suffering of pure and ennobling
charity which so distinguish the profes
sion to w hich she was attached. Site was
much beloved tor her meekness and
amiability, and admired for her usefulness
in all the relations she bore. Her death
is a loss to the Academy which will be
sorely felt. Stuntor (o. (7.) ll 'atchmoj \

Death of a Distinguished Roman Pre
late.—We learn from the official journal
of Lome that Mgr. Dominique Giraud died
in that city ou tlie Ist June, after a short
illness, in the sixtieth year of his age. Bon
of a noble Roman family, he occupied dif
ferent distinguished positions under the
Pontifical Government. In 1854. being
Canon ot the Patriarchal Basilica of the
\ atican, he was appointed Steward am:
Secretary ot the holy Congregation of ti.
Building of St. Peter’s, with the Presiden
cy of the Study of the Mosaic. He w;n, at
the same time, Inspector of the llospit.-L
ot Santa-Maria della Pieta for the rece;’
tion of foreigners. More recently the Hob
Father appointed Dim Auditor-General of
the Reverend Apostolic Chamber. In s
these di tie rent official positions lie has leu
behind him noble monuments of his euei
getio and enterprising character, and ot
his great erudition. — Catholic Mirror.
