shrouded in long cloaks, were 6 an in »

over his brow, Reginald entered the
“Here already !” exclaimed the Earl,
grasping his hand in delighted surprise.
“And just in time !” said Eugeuia;
“but how will you manage to get away
with us ? Our passport calls only for the
Earl, his wife, son, and two servants.”
“Then I will bo papa's valet 1” said
Reginald, “and you can leave Felix be
hind.”
“No,” said the Earl, “your face is too
well known ; rather let the Princess, if it
please her, be the Countess’s maid.”
“You forget the vast difference in size
between her and Mrs. Morton,” inter
posed Eugenia; “the description would
not suit her at all; and, in truth, I am
not willing to leave her behind. Felix
could easily rejoin us, but she could
not.”
“Was that lad, who brought our tea
in, Felix ?” asked Clementina, timidly.
“Yes, that was Felix,” said the Earl.
•‘Then let me assume her dress,” said
the Princess; “therewould be Rssdanger
of detection there!”
“You are right,” replied Eugenia,
looking earnestly at Clementina; “the
description of Felix will suit you very
well. By all means, Regie, let it be as
she says.”
“Go, then, to your room, and make the
change. Reginald, you stay here ; 1 will
see Felix, give him all necessary direc
tions, and send him off another way..’
“Don’t forget a purse of money, father !”
called out Reginald, as the Earl went
out.
Matters were soon arranged with Felix,
and, well provided with shining coin, lie
left the hotel unperceived.
Clementina was obliged to sacrifice a
portion ot her hair, though the petted
Felix wore his longer than was usual with
servants.
All was ready, at last. Eugenia, lean
ing on the Earl's arm, descended the
stairs; Reginald was just behind them ;
and Felix followed, so laden with cloaks
and shawls that his face could scarcely be
seen. The Countess was placed on the
back seat, and the Earl sat beside her.
Then Reginald sprang in, and calling to
Felix in an imperious tone, said :
“Ride inside, Felix; I want somebody
to lean on ; for I mean to sleep to-night.”
Felix instantly took his seat beside his
young master, and, as the footman closed
the door, he saw the young lord arranging
the shawls on the shoulder of Felix, to
make a comfortable resting-place for his
head.
“Well, to be sure that young lord is
well spoiled,” he murmured to himself.
The coachman cracked his whip, the
horses moved on, and the flight of the
Princess had not yet been discovered.
When it was, she w r as too far away to
think of pursuit.
CHAPTER XV.
Why need we make our story longer?
Let this last chapter be our shortest.
Once more, Reginald, Earl of Clare.,
with his still young and beautiful wife,
reached Sutherland Hall in safety. Sons
and daughters clustered around their
hearth. Years passed away, and still
with them, all was harmony and peace.
Never again did a cloud mar the glory of
their life, and the evening of their days
was as the soft rosy sunset of a Summer’s
day. .
Dear readers, I have done. I trust that
you have been interested, and that these
noble lords of Sutherland have seemed to
you, as they have to me, to have lived and
loved. I thank you all for your kind
courtesy and approbation; for the interest
evinced by the many inquiries made of an
affable publisher, and beg you to believe
me yours to command. Trusting that my
next effort may be received as kindly as
was that favorite child of my imagina
tion, Reginald Sutherland.
I am, yours truly,

Release of the Fenian Prisoners. —
On Monday night a meeting to aid in the
movement for the release of the Fenian
prisoners met in Mr. M’Coy’s large room,
Chapel-lane. The attendance was very
fair, and the sympathy expressed with
the object of the meeting was both warm
and general. The chair was occupied
by Mr. Edward M’Erlane. Subscrip
tions to a considerable amount were
handed in to assist in defraying the ex
penses. After considerable discussion
as to the best means to further the move
ment it was moved by Mr. M’Coy, and
seconded by Mr. Andrew M’Donnell, and
passed, that the Secretary should com
municate with Mr. Nolan, the Secretary
of the Amnesty Committc in Dublin, to
ascertain the latest day on which sub
scriptions should be forwarded, and what
ever other information he might be able
to impart in relation to the affair ; and
that, on receipt of intelligence from that
gentleman, advertisements should be put
into the local papers apprising all who
have promised subscriptions to send them
in without delay. The meeting after
wards adjourned till Monday evening
next.

Unjustly Convicted. —A case of
false imprisonment has occurred in Corn
wall. About four years ago Mr. Sho
vell, a farmer of Cailington, found that
the tongue of one of his horses had
been maliciously cut out during the
night. An unfriendly feeling between
him and his brother-in-law, Michael
Harris, existed, and suspicion fell on the
latter, who was tried and found guilty
of the offence solely on the evidence of
footmarks. Ttys sentence was eighteen
months’ imprisonment, which completely
broke down Harris’ constitution. The
man, before his death, sent for Mr. Sho
ved, his accuser, declared his innocence
of the crime, and freely forgave him.
Immediately after Harris’s imprisonment
a known bad character left the neigh
borhood, and other circumstances have
since transpired fully establishing the
innocence of the man who died in prison.
The Boy Missing in Dungannon. —A
little boy named Tipping, said to have
absconded from his father’s house in
Dungannon, was brought up before the
Court. Mr. John Tipping, the boy’s
father, appeared before the magistrates
at Dungannon a few weeks ago, and
stated that his son had left home on the
28th December with another lad named
John Davidson, who returned a day or
two afterwards, having in his possession
a shirt and coat belonging to young
Tipping. Davidson, who was thereupon
sent for, said he had accompanied Tip
ping to Portadown. He refused to go
any further, but Tipping said he would
proceed to Belfast. Tipping paid all ex
penses, including Davidson’s return
ticket, and on parting gave the shirt
and coat of his own free will. The com
stabulary have since been on the look
out for Tipping, and he was found that
morning at work in Kennedy’s Mill. The
constable who arrested the boy said he
had given him the usual caution not to
criminate himself, but he, nevertheless,
told him that he had left home, because
lie had been badly treated by his mother.
He was employed as a “learner” in the
mill, and had 2s. 6d. a week. Mr. Herd

advantage of any division or wavering.

The Church Trouble in Chicago
Settled.— We arc happy to learn, on
what we regard as good authority—not,
however, from the Bishop of Chicago
himself—that the late trouble in that
city, which gave so much scandal and
caused so much affliction to all good
Catholics everywhere, has been satis
factorily settled, the Rev. Dr. McMullen
and the Rev. Mr. Rolles having made
their submission and apology to the
Bishop ; who, in view of the fact that
his Episcopal authority was thereby
properly sustained, has accepted their
apology and submission, and has con
sented to restore them to their functions,
assigning them suitable places in the
Diocese. From information received, we
have reason to believe that this mode of
settlement was adopted in consequence
of instructions from tho Holy See ; and
we trust that a long time will elapse be
fore such difficulties—thank God, of very
rare occurrence among us—will be again
paraded in the secular papers, to the
disgust of all true Catholics and the
triumphant sneers of the enemies of the
Church. If the late Church troubles in
Chicago have no other result than that of
impressing this most important practical
lesson on the minds of all Catholics,
both Priests and laymen, they will not
have occurred wholly in vain.— Catholic
Mirror .
Anglicans and their Bishops.— Our
Anglican friends have resolved, not too
soon, to explain how their professed re
spect for Bishops consists with perpetual
opposition to their injunctions. The
Church News, of the 10th instant, un
dertakes this task. After announcing
that, “sooner or later, there will be either
a sceptical Establishment or no Estab
lishment at all,” it observes that “the
Clergy of the Catholic school have imi
formily defied their Bishops,” and ex
plains the fact in this manner : As far
as these Bishops are concerned, the
•‘sceptical Establishment” already exists.
The Bishops do nothing but evil. “Is
there a Choral Service? The Bishop
of Carlisle stands aghast. Does Mr.
Ilillyard, at Norwich, ‘show forth the
Lord’s death’ daily ? His Diocesan
orders him to discontinue it at once ! Do
people go to confession ? The present
Archbishop suspended Mr. Boole,” etc.,
etc. This is certainly not very encour
aging, and the Church News adds
vindictively, that “the Bishops arc uni
formly on the side of the Times news
paper, the Crown Lawyers, and the
mob.” Every body sees, therefore, that
it is impossible to obey such Bishops.
Thus far the explanation is complete.
Might we ask, however, since the Church
News is silent on this point—How is it
possible to remain in communion with
them ? As we do not expect to receive
any answer to this question, we will
venture to supply one ourselves. Men
who willingly remain in communion
with heretics, are heretics themselves,
and care a great deal more for their own
wretched theories, and their own paltry
schemes, than they do for God or His
truth. If the Church News does not
like this explanation, perhaps it will give
us its own. —London Tablet.
THE LATE FATHER O’CALLAGHAN.
We briefly alluded in our last, to the
melancholy death of this distinguished
Jesuit Father. A correspondent of the
Catholic Mirror gives us particulars of
his career :
Father O’Callaghan was born in Dor
chester, Mass., April 18th, 1824. He
was the son of Daniel O’Callaghan, a
native of Ireland, distinguished for high
intellectual culture and eminent Chris
tian virtues. After passing six years m
the Sulpitian College of Montreal, where
he applied his acute and active mind to
scientific pursuits, and endeared himself
to professors and students by the amiable
Virtues of a perfect scholar, Father
O’Callaghan repaired to Holy Cross
College, Worcester, Mass., to imbibe still
more deeply at the sacred fount of learn
ing and science, April 9, 1844, he
bade farewell to the endearments of
home, and entered the Novitiate of the
Society of Jesus at Frederick. After
laearly thirteen years of preparation for
the sacred Ministry, perfecting himself
in ecclesiastical lore, and discharging in
various places the onerous duties of pre
fect and teacher, he was elevated to the
dignity of the. Priesthood, July 25, 1851.
After his ordination, his Superiors, ap
preciating his exalted talents and virtues,
selected him for responsible offices in the
Society of which he was so brilliant a
member. He was appointed Professor
of Rhetoric and Prefect of Schools in
Georgetown College, afterwards Rector
for three years of Loyola College, Balti
more, and finally, Master of Novices in
Frederick, Md., which position he held
up to the period of his death. When
ever obedience called him to labor
thoughtless of self, he conscientiously
devoted all the energies of his soul to
the trust confided to him, so much so that
his health ultimately became impaired,
and it was judged by his Superiors that
a voyage to Europe would preserve the
life of so efficient a workman in the
vineyard of the Lord. He accordinglv
visited England, Ireland, France, Italy,
and Spain, spending eighteen months
abroad ; and returned to his native
country, renovated in strength, enriched
with experience, and prepared for re
newed exertions in the Sacred Ministry.
Having been appointed last July to repre
sent the province of Maryland in a
congregation of the most distinguised
members of his Order, who were to
assemble in Rome from all parts of the
world in the following November, he re
paired in due time to the Eternal City.
He had the happiness there to receive
the benediction of Pius IX., that illus
trious Pontiff who rules the Universal
Church, and to hear from his sacred lips
words of congratulation and encourage
ment. As we learn by letters from
Rome, the eminent virtues of Father
O'Callaghan endeared him to all who
were happy enough to form his acquain
tance. Even in Rome, where learning
and sanctity are far from being strangers,
he was pointed out as singularly endowed
with the erudition of the scholar and the
holiness of the Priest. Even there his
extensive knowledge of mathematics,
history and literature ; his singular pro
ficiency in ancient and modern languages,
in several of which he conversed with
ease and elegance ; his acute perceptions
of philosophical and theological ques
tions—too intricate for ordinary minds—
charmed no less than his profound hu
mility edified the friends whom his
amiable qualities attracted.
He was truly “beloved of God and
men, and his memory is in benediction!”
IJis humility, his modesty, his charity,
his untiring zeal, his purity of character
and spirit of self-sacrifice, everywhere
endeared him to men, as they made him
find favor with God. His memory is
sweetly embalmed in thousands of
hearts, though the dark waters conceal
his frail tenement of clay. The poor
bless him—the poor whom he so often
aided by deeds of mercy which plead
for him now before the throne of God.
Christian youth, so many of whom ho
trained to science and Virtue, bless him;
they will drop a tear of commiseration
for his untimely death ; but well know
ing the holiness of his life, hope will bid
them smile through their tears, as it
pitcures to their minds the brightness
of his glory who instructed so many
unto justice. But those bound to him
by closer ties—by ties of brotherly and
sisterly affection—in their hearts crushed
by grief, recognizing the hand of God
which afflicts his servants in tins life,
more amply to reward them in the next
—even they will bless him, feeling confi
dent that though dead, he speaketh —
speaketh for them with stronger voice
before the throne of God. M.
On Tuesday morning, February 1 Gth,
a solemn requiem Mass was sung at > s t.
Ignatius’ Church, Baltimore, for the
repose of the soul of the late lather
O’Callaghan. The Church was draped

fronting the altar, was placed the cata
