TUE PRINCE OI THE CHURCH.
&lo tlie Red 1lat of the Cardinalate i%
Bestowi iU pon the Select.
The elevation of the America.i Arch
bishop Gibbons to the position of Cardi
nal of the Roman Catholic Church a
year ago. and the impressive ceremony
which took place at Rome last week are
notable events in the religious history of
this country. The new eardinal, an
adopted son of the South, possesses, to
the highest degree, the respect and
esteem of all sects, and the brief de
scription now given of the proceedings
of the Consistory at which the red hat
was bestowed upon him will prove inter
esting.
The ceremonial was held in the main
hall of the Vatican in front of the Papal
Throne. In semi-circular form around
this was arranged the chairs for the
Cardinals, presenting a scene picturesque
in the extreme. The auditory was
thronged with a favored assembly, ad
mitted by cards, and made up of the
most noted people in the Holy City.
The Pope, clad in white, with a face
beaming with benevolence, gave much
strength to the Church's claim of the
,Vicarship in its spiritual head. Before
the Consistory opened, the oath was ad
ministered to seven Cardinals, conspicu
ous among whom was Cardinal Gibbons.
Then the doors of the private chamber
were opened and the procession entered
the main hall, passing the throne with
bowed heads and uttering a prayer suit
able to the occasion.
The papal chair used upon all such
occasions is modeled after the chair of
the ancient Roman Senator, commemor
ative of the chair presented to St. Peter
by the Senator Pedeus upon his con
version to Christianity. In front, be
hind and on either side of the Pope were
the Noble Guard. The flabebelli, or tall
ostrich plumes, were carried beside the
canopy. The Pope, looking pale and
feeble, after being seated on the throne,
raised his right arm tremblingly and
gave his blessing.
Following are the names of the new
cardinals: Cdinai Gonzales came first,
followed by Cardinals Bernadou, Maz
zella and Giordani, in the order named.
Cardinal Gibbons's- sponsors were Car
dinals Meichers and azzella. As pre
sented each cardinal made his three
obeisances, then knelt and kissed the
cross on the Pope's slipper and next his
hand, in token of humiliation and obe
dience.
The seven new ecclesiastical princes
now a roached the throne in the order
that had been assigned them. The man
telletta or short red cape of each was
drawn up over the shoulders and gath
ered about the head, and as he knelt at
the foot of the Pope a =aster of cere
monies held above his head the broad,
red tasseled hat. Then the Pope, lean
ing forward, held his hands outspread
above the kneeling figure while he utter
ed a prayer in Latin.
After the prayer each newly made
Cardinal was embraced by the Pope and
when he had embraced all his colleagues
he proceeded to the chair which had
been assigned him and took his seat,
wearing his beretta, all the other Cardi
nals remaining standing and uncovered,
the idea thus illustrated being that the
new prince of the church, having re
ceived his hat from the hands of the
Pope, had become the equal of al the
others. When the last of the seven had
.nade the tour of the semicircle the Pope
rose and gave his pontifical blessing to
priests and people, after which he was
escorted from the hall and into the hall
of the paramenti by all the Cardinals.
Cardinal Gibbons received many con
~tultory telegrams and heaps of
A Newspaiper Fable.
A SMark and a *were one day left
close together on the Imposing Stone,
and the $ Mark coughed in a Pompous
way and observed:
"I am constantly used to designate
the Wealth of the World."
"And I," replied the *, as he Bristled
up in the Promptest Manner, "am sym
bolic of Liberty."
"By means of me," continued the $
Mark, "the Printer can change 1,000,000
Grains of Sand into $1,000,000"
"Yes, but Heaven's vaults are studded
with Stars, andlI m frequently used in
Print to represent Unknown Quantities."

A. M. Brawner, who represents a big
distilling company of Baltimore on the
road and travels extensively West and
South, was en route home from a six
weeks' tour the other day and gave glow
ing accounts of the business outlook.
"Saesare better and collections more
prompt," he said, "than they have been
for years, and buyers seem to have con
fidence in a continuation of the good
times they are enjoying. If this state of
things keeps up all the politicians in the
country can't prevent the re-Election of
Cleveland in 1888. Whether he has con
tributed to bring it about or not he is
getting a good deal of credit for the
prosenthat prevails and is growing
stronger daiy with business men of all
political shades."
