Scope and Contents Mary L. Meany expresses gratitude to Hudson for the ten dollars she received from him and for the graces of the last few weeks which she is sure are a result of his prayers. She explains why his prayers were so highly valued. When she first spoke of the order of the Immaculate Conception to her confessor, the Encyclical of Pio Nono regarding secret orders seemed to show her that she was to have an active part in the struggle between the Church and those secret orders. Her confessor and...

Scope and Contents "Dion and the Sibyls" went to the wrong person for notice. Miss Meany believes the fashion nowadays for Catholic authors is to separate what was united in the Incarnation and show Christ as a historical personage. She disagrees with this idea and will have nothing to do with it as she believes in edifying Catholic stories. In the story Dion and the Sibyls she notices that the most eloquent passage in it is a glorification of gladiators who are silent under the agony of a violent death....

Scope and Contents Meany is soliciting funds not that she has Archbishop James Frederick Wood 's permission to start Saint Patrick's Institute for Ladies. She hopes Hudson will pardon her long silence but she wanted to be sure of Wood's approval before appealing to Hudson's generosity. Meany received the October issue of the Ave Maria which contains her two stories "The Children's Rosary Sunday" and "Trials of a Young Artist"; three other stories of hers were printed by the Catholic Standard during the...

Scope and Contents Hudson's letter received. Miss Meany asks Hudson to overlook her neglect and expresses her gratitude for Hudson's kindness. She sends several articles with the conclusion of "After the Night, the Day." Perhaps "How A Saint Was Made" would suffice as a variety. Miss Meany believes there is need of practical religious literature. She is aware of the fact that Hudson has no preference for sentimental, or dry, or suggestive literature. The original of the French story is called "The...

Scope and Contents Medary refers to a letter received from Simon Whitt, Xniffin, Wayne County, Iowa, in which Whitt expresses his desire for a copy of the "Freeman's Journal." Simon is a self-appointed agent for "The Crisis." Medary believes if McMaster would take the trouble to send Simon a prospectus, the latter would probably interest himself for the "Journal" also. He encloses two dollars for Simon in consideration of the good he has done them. He wishes the receipt to be sent to the office of "The...

Scope and Contents He presumes that the outrages and injuries McMaster felt in Ft. La Fayette will incline him to sympathy with those imprisoned in this bastille and to make efforts to bring about their release and to bring notice of their condition to the public. McMaster probably saw in the Dubuque Herald that Meehan was arrested August 14; since that time he has sought a hearing, but has had no answer to his pleas. His arrest was brought about by partisan conspiracy to defeat him for Congress. The...

Scope and Contents Believing that McMaster's paper should be helped by those who appreciate his untiring efforts in behalf of civil and religious liberty and the Constitution, as given to us by our forefathers, and believing that his own interest as well as public good will be promoted by continued publication of the Freeman's Journal, he sends $20 for 20 copies of the campaign paper. McMaster may send one to him at 15 Wall Street, and dispose of the others as he sees best for the good of the paper. ::...

Scope and Contents Judging by the extraordinary gathering of last night, the friends of McClellan seem to be more determined than ever to force this man upon us. McMaster should remind them that Martin Van Buren badly defeated General Cass in 1840 although he had hardly any vote outside of New York, and in 1860 Douglas found that he was helpless without the assistance of the "hard shells." Since Megarey is neither office holder or office seeker, he would rather vote for the devil himself than for...

Scope and Contents Meline was disappointed by Hudson's criticism and rejection of her article. For years she has been knocking at the door of the Catholic World and only partially succeeded, but now she has given up after the trash Monsignor Robert Seton writes was preferred to her stories.

As for Mr. Dunne the saying, a shoemaker should stick to his last...
