Thoindfon of this Order are of tho very highest grado of scholastic attainmont. Somo years ago Romo troublo nrcse on & questiou of precedouce or rank, and five or six Siators, undor the load of MOTHER FEUDINAND, nvory inteltectual and sccomplished lady, loft tho institution st which they were located, and camo Nortb, intending to found s uow Order, or o brach of tho old. On renching Chicago thoy wero induced by tho thon Viear-Genoral and Ad- ministrator, Dr, Dunne, to stay bere, and ‘open an aeademy, Tor thid purpose a residence wus purahnsod on Wast Adawms street botweon Dou- plamos and Inlsted etracts, and thoy oponed an meademy, which from the boginning wasa suc- coss. 1n 1870 or 1871, aftor Bishop Folay's entering upon tho administration of the diocess, there whs protest—perhaps from the paront ionse— againgt tho recognition of tho secedera an Bistors of tho Order, and thero wero, it {8 alloged, mauy jrrogulnrities in tho due observance of tho luws snd rogulntions of the Socioty, o the matter of orpetuating tho organization; the Mothor, Fordinaud, 100, was in oxtremely weak health, and it was suggested that sho was subject to montal doprosalons, unfitting her for the dis- chargo of her duties, snd for attending Intelli- cumfi? to business, For theso, aud porhaps othgr causcs known fo him only and_oftiolslly, Tusliop Foloy, during the snmmer vacation, DISSOLVED {IIE COMMUNTIY, or doclared it Liad no legal exiatonco, or made somo otlier order, the offect of which was the dissolution nnddispersion of tho little com- munity. Provision wus, howover, mado for oll tho members. They wera all admittad t other Ordors, mitedto thair cducation and complishiments, snd in timo all wero thus gottlod exeopt Mother Fardinand, who from the firut has 10fusud to recognizo the legal or opiscopal authority exercised by the Bishop i tho busi~ noss, Sho hns rofused all offers of suitabla pro- vision for the future ; has rejocted all homos of- fored her. Sho Ling vlaced horself {u legal an- tagonism to the Bishop, and hay domanded that wll thae bas beendonn by him shall bodisavowed, and set usido, and thaf sbo and lor associato Bistors bo RESTORED TO LR HCHOOL, and their property, with compoyeating damoagos. Sho has rofused sid or ani:uurl rom the Dishop upou Any other terms. In the meantime, sho sy been in bad health; sho hLoa beon in ihe long ioteryal in great men- tal excitement, followed Dby morvous prostration, Sho is n brilliant, intolloctual woman, thoroughly odueated, snd rolates tho story of lier wrougs with much veliomence, and yot with dignity, She has found friends among many Catholic families 1 tho city and in tho noighboring villages, and, while they gonorally deeline to expresd judgments in- & matter of & purely apiscopal chinractor, and Inmont thesoom- ing obstiuacy that has induiced biorfor so many sears to reject ail offers of & homo in & religious 1onse, and suitablo provision for lior comfork during life, thoy have at tho samo timo recog- nized tho purity and refluoment of tho lady horsolf. DURING TAT LAST YEAR she lins found a homa at tho residence of Mrs. Taylor, who lives in ono of tho suburbs of Chi cago, Sholoft Brs. ‘Taylor's houso s wook ngo Iant Snturday and camo to this city, intending, it 1s believed, to inatituto 1X0AL PROCEEDINGA for tho rocovery of her alloged righta. 8tops to this oud huve beeu taken Lioretoforo, but owing chietly to tho ili-heallh of Motber Ferdinand, tho caso has nover come to a full hearing in the courts, Arrived in Chilengs, she stopped ot the ITateh Houre, on North Wells stroot, and, being in an oxtremely low stato of heulth, she at onco wrote o letter to Dr. Dyas, requesting Lim to eall nnd see her, "o had provionsly Dbeen her medical advisor during Lor residenco in Chicago, aud ho had _alwo taken a strong in- torest in hor busiucss affairs. Being very busy, Dr. Dyns could not make it convoniont ta call that day, and the next day ho roceived a still miore nrgont nppeal from Mother Ferdinand. Horcupon Mrs, Dyas puid her a visit forthwith, end found hor in A MOST PITIALE CONDITION, witbout funds, and very ill and weuk from the offacts of two cancors. Mrs. Dyas, who is Pros- ident of the Bonard of Councillora of tho Hospital for Womon and Chiliron, at_once mado provision for hor accammodation in that oxcoflent jnstitution, and thither sho was transforred, Shois there at tho pres- ent time, recoiving all tho care and attention that kind friends and akillful physicians cau be- nlow. Tho hospital is purely non-sectarian, and tho fact thut Mother Ferdinand wasa Ioman Catholic was uat considered. Mes, Dyay, who is & most worthy, onergetio Indy, and whose means and time aro Invishiy dis- peused in tho interosts of meroy and aharity, intarented horwelf greatly in the case of tho, ex-~ Motiar Bayerior. and seas not ouf in maling up ber mind that tlus was a case which should b Lrought to the notice of tho Oatholie Bishop of Chieage, whoso duty sho conceived it tobo to render some assistauce, Accordingly the good Jady paid A VIRIT TO TIE CATIIOLIC PRELATE Jast Wednesduy, for the purposo of soliciting md for Mothor Ferdmand, It was 3 gingulur viait, and wo cannot do bettor than to reproduce Mrs. Dyss’ own account of it, .us given last evening to n Trinuse reportor, She said ¢ I enlled ut tho Bishup's houso lust Wednes- day, and sont up mv card, The Bishop wasat honio, and promptly mude his appearunce, He ro- ceived mo with perfect politoness, and I proceed- ed to explnin tho objact of my visit, I told him 1 bad eatlod upon an errand of moray and juatice § for the purpose of solciling ald for & porson whose provious high “position in one ot the Ordors of tho Catholic Church was such &8 to entftlo the ongo to the nonsidoration of tho Bishop of tho Diocese, All this wan vory well; tho Bishop listonod doforentially,and with appar- ont interest, uatil I. montionod the name of the erson in_whoso bebalf ¥ had ealled—Mother erdinand. At the sound of this name au augry lush mountad Lo the roots of his huir, and, with n quick, impationt jesture, and loud, harsh~ tone of voice, ho oxcluimod: ‘T don’t want to hear Anything about that woman!' I was not & littlo tulion aback by this violont spoecls, and began to explain my cotncction with Mlathor Ferdinaud's alairs, when Bishop Foley sprang to his feot, aud, with an sppearanco of groat anger in mon- nor and words, raid: ‘I won't hear any mors about it ‘That woman has glven ma troublo onough alroady, 1 won't hear any more'about it With this, ho bonnced cut of the room and alammed tho door, leaving ino alone. I waa vory iudignant at suelt outrugoous treatment, and ~very tuch Aurpriged to rocoivo it at suoh hands, he Bishop was 80 _avgry ‘b .the bare mon- tion of Mother Fordloand’s name that ho ( forgot to remowmboc thut - ho wis o wentloman, and was addressing @ lady in his awn houso. Inevor waa treated so rudely before in my lifo, though I havoe boen a wolicitor for ohiatitable objocts ju Chicago a good many yoard, Bishop Duggan, who.way sue- cooded by Bishop Foloy, frequently gave mio mouey for the suppart of tho Hoapltal for ‘Womon and Children, and was vory friondly to- ward the inatitution, 1 had nover met Bishop Folog hetaro, though Dr. Dyss wea acquaintad with hiim, and I must eay my first {inprossions of the mau wore nat vary favarablo,” At the timo of this recital tho good lld‘y had by no meaus recovered from her indignation »t e oxcomsivo discourtosy wmauifestod by tluo Dlahop. It waa cloarly ovident that sho entor- tainod vory poor oplulon of "his politonoss. Tho raporternquired .. 5 5 TIi: REABON FOR i1 VIOLENT OUTNURST on the part of Bishop Foley. Mra, Dyas ropliod that slio did not know the rosson, farther than that” tho Bishop “was intousely “bittor agnlngt- Mothor Ferdiuand; because, as sho undorstood; the Iattor, hd isputed lis nuthority t6 bronk up tho Aendemy ax he had donio, and wan dig- ]waml to resort to tho courta for protection in hor righta.

Mo, Dyas bnd gathorod an impréssion that Mothor Fordinand's religions mattorn” had drawn upon hor the ani- mosity of Bishop Foloy, though sho had for- borno to question lLor on this point, lost sho might scom to bo tryingto prosclytizo bor, She was suro, howover, that nothing whatover had beon sllogod against bor charactor or morality ; but sho bolievad thoto was A'MYTERK AND A PLOT in tho mattor, and’that Blishop Toloy, for somo purpose known to himaolr, was trying to mako out that Mother Fordinond was and i now in- sano. - | Just at thls juncture Dr, Dyas, who is one of the most ominent mombera of tho medical pro- fession fn Chicago, joluad tho conferonce, and to Lim thoe reporter addressod the inquiry: “Tlow about this ohario of fwsnnlty? You havo attonded Mothor Ferdinand for sevoral yenrs, sud ought to lnow whother shois of #ound_mind.” Dr. Dyas—T should eay she was of mound mind, ‘Sha.is ono of ths soundest-minded wumen I over met; a woman, sir, of fino culture and remarkably‘closr and vigorous intolloct, No ona could converse with hor five minutbs withoub being convincod that she wos considernbly above tho averago in golnt of soundness of mind, * I know all sbout this matter, snd am proparoed to go into court aty day and provo Lor sanity, “No, &irs Mather Fordinaud Iy anything but insano, .
