Mac Carthy heard this morning from Father Isaac T. Hecker of the death of Orestes A. Brownson . It was a great blow to him and to all Catholics in this country. He knows that there were those, even among Catholics, whose admiration of Brownson was not unmixed. But Mac Carthy always entertained not only admiration but sincere affection. If he is permitted, as he believes he shall be, he intends paying his poor tribute in one or more of the Catholic papers. By Father Hecker's express desire, there shall be an article in the coming June number of the Catholic World on Brownson prepared by a hand and mind more competent in every respect. They should be happy if Henry assisted them in supplying facts and reminiscences of Brownson's life. The N. Y. Times had an excellent obituary as newspaper obituaries go, the Herald a fair one. There is to be a solemn requiem mass for the repose of Brownson's soul at the Paulists' tomorrow. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
