Roman ritual, amid candles and inoense, at the great altar of the ▼cry building they were gathered in. St. Hugh of Lincoln had nothing in common with modern Protestants, and the Catholics of England made pilgrimages to his shrine for 300 years before a Protestant was heard of. He was born in 1135 at Avalon in Burgundy, and joined the Carthusians at 20 years of age. Ten years later he came to England to establish his Order, and commenced at Witham in Somersetshire. He was made Bishop of Lincoln in 1186, and while he ruled that See he retired every year to his Monastery at Witham for retreat, and to remind himself he was still a monk. In advance of his age, he preached toleration for the Jews, and condemned cruelty to animals. He gained renown at a turner of wild birds by kindness, and he possessed a pet swan at his house at Stow which used to show such evident delight when he approached that the people considered it supernatural. He died in fall communion with the Bishop of Rome on November 16th, 1200, and the Catholic Church, since his canonisation, has continued annually to keep Mb feast on November 17th, while for many long years it was forgotten and unobserved in his own Cathedral. Presentation to a London Priest — -A large gathering of the clergy of Westminster, Southwark, and Portsmouth, took place recently to make a presentation co the Rev. Dr. Rymer, who has taken an active interest for many years in the Clergy Fund. The presentation took the form of a massive clock and an illuminated address. In reply to various complimentary speeches, Dr. Rymer said that advancing age waa the sole cause of his retirement. Death Of a Catholic Lady- — The death is reported, at Clapham, of Mrs. Bourne, mother of his Lord ship the Bishop of Southwark, in her seventy-third year. His Lordship had been in constant attendance at his mother's side during her last illness. She was the widow of the late Mr. Henry Bourne, chief clerk of the Accountant-General' ■ Department of the General Post Office. Lord Halifax- — Lord Halifax denies the report in a Dublin evening paper that he has become a convert and will shortly be received into the Catholic Church. The rumor probably arose out of the conversion of a gentleman who held the position of chaplain to him. The Pastor Of Mafeking.— Father Ogle, 0.M.1., pastor of Maf eking, is now in London collecting for his mission, which is in sore need of assistance. FRANCE-— Pilgrims to Montmartre and Paray — Statistics show us that the present year has been one of great impetus to devotion to the Sacred Heart in France. And this in more directions than one. During the months that the exhibition was drawing its 60,000,000 visitors the basilica of the Sacred Heart at Montmartre was drawing its 3,000,000. Visitors to the basilica in the preceding year had not exceeded a million. Paray-le-Monial since the opening of the great pilgrimage thither in May haß seen in its midst 15,000 pilgrims. There were some English of the
