Bui when he comes to express his sentiments toward the Pope, and his anticpation of the success of the Catholic Cburen over all the world, there is a fervid, gladsowe, ringing tone, the uplifting of the hands and 4 triumpnant look- ing upward, a3 though he saw the cross of vic- tory in the beavens that showed that the true spirit of the champion and the warrior reigned in tae soul of this first American Cardinal, Then turning toward the altar, be chanted the opening lines of the majestic hyan of St. Ambrose, “Te Deum laudamus, te Vominom confitemur.” The choir took up the joyous strain and, while they were singing the Cardinal, accompanied vy a few attendants, passed into the sacristy toassume the | Tobes of his new rank, THE MEANING OF THE CEREMONY. It Was something more tuan this. We saw io the elevation of this plan citizen to be a prince athong priaces an evidence of that democratic spirit whieb, wita all its autocracy, belon, to the policy of Rome, The wonors which fell upoa the meek, retiring priest who sat, as it were, shrinking on his red cushioned throne, were open to any one of the long procession of young ecciesiasiics who filed into the sanctuary and down tue aisics. It was the engrafting upon the Church in democratic America of an ancient and venerated ceremouy, Ali the grandeur, all the glory, ail ti power and even—to the minds of the many Protestant spectators of this vivid scene— all the terror of Rome seemed to culminate in the pageant which celebrated the first American Cardinal. Nor could the speciator fail to record tne eloquent words in which & Protestant bistorian bad chronicled the fame of a cnurch “which was reat aud respected before the Saxon had set foot upon Britain, before the Frank bad passed the Rnise, when Grecian eioquence still Sourished at Antioch, when idols were still worshipped im the Temple of Mecca.” Here were symbous prescribed by councils and pontiifs wo ruled the worid cen- turies before our world was known. when tue very site of tuis Cathedral was an Indian camp, per- haps, and the smoke of its fires rose in the air nuw burdened with incense. Here, in the home of the Indian, was the advancing step ot a civilization which, after marching with varying fortunes over Europe, Was now taking a new step in America, ‘The iiastrious circie of princes, into whicn men of royai name aad lineage are ouly too nappy to en- ter, is opened at last to the house of a plain American citizen to whom this Car- dinal was born im modest poverty and efforts more than sixty years ago, In the College of Cardinals we find a Schwarizenburg, of the priacely bouse in Austria; a Hovenlone, of the princely house in Germany; a Bouaparte, of the imperial house of France. Hy the side of these men a0 American citizen takes bia piace as ® prince of the Roman Coarch. fhe ceremony which marks this event is full o, thought to those who see in this something more than @ mere pageant.

There was not a dull passage im the work irom beginning to end. i THD SOLOIST: | qnore were afew solos introduced during the service, the most notable one bemy “Laudate Do- minum,” by Mariani, known as “Invocazione a Dio” in its ongival iorm. This exquisite selection was rendered by Mr. A. Sohst, one of the most ac- complished baritone singers of the metropolitan choirs, Mme. Bredelii sang ‘Quam diiecta,” by _ Mercadante, during the Offertory, @ rather florid composition, Which served more to display the voice of the singer than to add to the solemnity of the mass and “Te Deum.” Mrs. Grosz, one of the most popular singers of the Cathedral, rendered the “Vision de Ste. Cecile,” by Lehouc, to tne words of “Omysterium inefabile,” with expression. The soloists on the occasion were Mme. Bredelil, Mrs. Grosz, soprani; Mrs. Ellemetch, alto; Herr Bersin, tenor; Herr Urchs, basso, and Mr. Sohst, bare vone; Mr. Franke, organist; Gustavas Schmitz, conductor. The chorus numbered over seventy voices. After the “Le Deum” was finished the organ and orchestra played the finale from the Furth Symphony of Beethoven. . THE RETIREMENT TO THE SACRISTY. When the venerable form of the Cardinal had disappeared withia the sacristy and the splendid voices of the choir filled the Cathedrai with the impassioned joy ofthe “Te Deum Laudamus, de Dominum Confitemur,” exultant music whose rap- tare seemed to pear aloft on angelic wings the gratitude, the devotion of earth, the profound interest in which the vast assembly had been bound was relaxed. The excitement had been so intense that there was a sense almost as of relief from pleasure so keen that it was akin to pain. Tue great momeut was over. American Cardinal had been formally invested witu the authority and honors of bis rank, and so long had the Church longed and prayed and waited for this event, destined to be remembered while the Church endures, that the fuithful might have thought of Simeon when he took up in his arms the holy child in the Tempic and blessed God, and wituout irreverence might have repeated to themselves the grateful prayer of that just and devout man who had’ waited for the con- soiation of Israel: “Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation.” To the fervent believer the investiture of @ cardinal for the first time in the’ New World was far more than a mere ceremonial of honor; it was an event wich Im {ts associations and purposes kindied anew feelings of piety and love. | Roman Catholic Church in America nearer to Rome, whch ts for al! the world the spiritual cap- ital of the Church; nearer to the Pontiff, who is its shepherd and guide; and thus the eveaot brought the kneeling spirit nearer to heaven, of which tne Church ts upon earth the prophecy and embiem, and nearer to God, whose vicar the Pope is believed tobe, There was gratitude to the Pope for the affection he had shown to the Courch in America, ¢elight and pride in the venerable prelate through whom this affection was mani- tested, and love and praise to God, from whom all blessings come, Thus the ligion eclipsed the splendors of the pompous ceremonial, It was as if the temporal power of the Pope, as it declined beyond Rome’s eternal hills, had bequeathed, like Sunset to the skies, spiritual glories to the West. ‘The Catholic bellever at once felt a firmer faith in his religion and a greater pride in his Church. | When Cardinal Mevioskey had withdrawn to as sume his robes of office a thrili of joy seemed to run through the Cathedral. One could see itin toe sparkiing eyes and eager faces of tne congre- gation and ip the graver looks of sym- pathy and joy between the mitred dignitaries around the aliar. Archbishops and bishops were apparently as much deligated as if they had been curdinais thémsetves. All the while that the “Te Deum” was resounding through the Cathedral these felicitations of word or look were ex- changed, while tne triumphal music expressed more eloquently than speech the universal feeling of gratitude and joy. THE ENROBING. | The Archbisnop hed disappeared, and now, as the “Te Deum” approached its rapturous close, all yes were turned to the door from which the ‘ardinal was expected to emerge. During his absence in the sacristry the clergy remained standing. When be reappeared arrayed in his scarlet robes, attended by his suite, American Catholics saw a novel sight—a Cardinal in fall costume, received by the greatest dignitaries of honored the ambas- guarded the sadors Church, from by Pope special and in form, if not in act, by a Cistingaisned oféer of the Papal Guard, As His Eminence entered every eye was fixed upon nim, every bead was bent in eagerness, a louder anthem pealed {rom the choir, We wonder If at this exciting moment, when the Tu a little while we, even Anu those abuve as, in wore a lened with authority, shuduws; bat the beautifal something goCd; tue behef in som ion, and the evidence that The first It brougnt the | mild lustre of re- | 38 Christian humility without oMce he displ aifectation, end perhaps reflected more deoply upon his heaveniy future and upon the wellare of the poor, v upper in tus grand divcese than hé did upon luis terrestrial vonors, PINALIS REPUTE anced to the centre of the rie ¢ When the Cargioal au sanctuary the choir Was) Onishing the magnifl- cent “le Deum,’ 1 wich the autnor has con- ated ove more Work of ius co the religious of the world, As oes died away in os of the ritual he Intoned the beautiful us Cujus,"? tion tor the Pope--never responded to more tenderiy than in the time of his persecution - “Dous Omnium Fidelium,” to whica the tmmense audience bowed in profound sympathy. THE TRIPLE BENEDICTION. The Cardina: then pronounced the triple bene- diction by intoming the “Sit nomen Domini Bene- ir music the re pray aictum” and “Adjutorium nostrum in Nomine | Domini,” and with upufted bands toward the | Crucified, he turned around and tarice signed | with the cross the kneeling multitude, while ne chanted “Beuedicat vos Omnipotens Deus, Pater | et Fils, et Spiritis Sanctus.” As grass bends | | before the breeze, | ton bowed before _ bassador of Heaven, We doubt if even the _ heretics (and there were no doubt many | Who were present) refused to acknowledge i the sanctity of the blessing, even though they | Guestioned the divine authority to convey it. | Phose who really and truly believed accepted tnis | Solemn and impressive beneliction as gladly as | “when to dying eyes the casement slowly grows & | glimmering square,” the parting spirit receives | the last sacraments. It was the first Cardinal's | benediction ever uttered in America; but more than that, 1 was the Diessing of a good | and uprigat man, The choir answered the | paternal prayer with its musical “Amen,” and so the vast congrega- | then the great and gorgeous ceremonies were | | ended. ‘the priests who had filed the aisles of the | Cathedral slowly withdrew in procession; the bishops fled away in grave, deliberate order; the archbishops followed in their robes and mitres; the great Papal Zouave in his start- ling uniform—the only representative of War in @ church dedicated to Peace— Marched with stately step away; Leyate of the Pope and his attendants passed from | before the altar, and,Jast of all the Cardinal, es- | Corted by the Archbishop of Baltimore and priests scarcely less famous than he, with the train of the Cardinalate borne by his suite, honored by the by whom he was loved. The Cardinal lias come and gone! But after the beauty and the genius, the | manly greatness and the devoved piety tbat will "make tne anniversary cf Aprilz7 memorable in | history as long as the Church stands upon the rock of its foundation, after all the spendor and music had passed away and left the Catnedrat peopled only by silence and shadows there still shone over | the altar the pallia figare of the crucified Re- | deemer, It was tn His honor—not the Cardinal’s— | that these ceremonies nad been performed, With | outstretched hands, nalied to the cross, He dies and lives in attitude of immortal blessing.

Slowly descending the steps and a3 slowly moving over the strect, walking two by two, the procession ascended the stairway and entered the Cathedral. Acolytes led the why, and they were fojlowed by priests, in light, breezy surplices of white camoric over black soutanes. The gorgeous vestments of the bishops and arch- bishops, worn by men for the’ most part of unusual bulk and stature, made 4 pa- geant of uncommon picturesqueness, The jofty nodding mitres, the and the dignity of carriage each prelate held gave to the scene a grandeur that MNapressod itselr on the minas of the beholders. ‘The thousands grouped ut eitner end of the long | biock on which the edifice stands and the many Who filled intermediate points of vantage gazed with looks of the most intense In‘erest on tis Most uncommon spectacie in the American me- tropolis,; Nothing like it had ever been seen fore, but it was a spectacle of briefest possible duration. It lasted but a few minutes, and the short but’ superd panorama ended when the line of golden culor passed from the street and dis- apeared within the sacred edifice, SOKNE IN THE STREETS, The houses in front and rear of vhe Cathedral were thronged with sightseers, The windows 'e crowded to thelr utmost capacity, and the ragged roofs of the many old tuimbledown con- | cerns which abound in the neigabornood were | laid under contribution by adventurous men and boys. The Presentation Convent, at the corner of Prince and Mott streets, which usually keeps its exterior darkenea to the world by close Venetian blinds, threw open a dozen windows in front and three at the Mott street side, where bright crimson curtains, edged with lace, were suspended aud looped up. All around the square on which the Cathedral stands the | windows of the innumerable tenement houses were flung open and the roofs were black with people.

THE NUBLE GUARD. Count Mare/osch!, who wound up the procession, came directiy after the pale Cardinal, from Whose shoulders hupg@ short mantle of purple velvet, was the great sight of all, The helmet of | the Count, suggestive of the Roman helmet of the days of Cwser, the-bright red tunic, the white doeskin pantaloons and tall black boots, was asin- | gular sight to American eyes, but the Count was @ great curiosity. THE $TREET CARS that pass from the east to the west side of town along the thoroughfare of Prince street were per- mitted to break the lines so jealously guarded by the police. Pedestrians were prohibited from crossing on this route from Broadway to the Bowery, but as each car broke through the human embattiements a number of thougutless youths managed to swing ov to the rear platform, and | the seufiles that followed between them and tne conductor furnished an endless jund of amuse- ment to the many idle spectators, POPULAR EXPERIENCES.

Long tables occupied, with just standing room between, the two rooms devoted to the entertainment of the lower clergy. Here, however, the tables were bounteousiy laid, and everything that could possibly minister to the appetite of a bishop was laid out with geaerous bounty for the Fe- freshment of the humblest curate. Over four hune dred clergyinen gatnered round the board set by the hospitable Sisters, Many had travelled far and had wiinessed the ceremony ‘asting, These attacked the welcome fare with hearty good will, and a few minutes atter the solema services of the inauguration of the new Cardinal had come to an end the faithful shepherds and some chosen members of the flock were busy savisiying the demands of nature, for even religion | must be fed. The apartments in which the feast | was set were decorated with the utmost simplicity. Here and there hung pictures _of distinguished Churchmen, living and | dead; but the portrait of Pope Pius was espectally | Prominent. The genial, kindly face of the Sov ereign Pontiff smiled upon his faitufal children from every wall. His influence was not lost, for the gentlemen assembled were evidently imbued With bis spirit of light-heartedagss. Ali formality had been laid aside with the close of the cere monies. When the guests assembled round the tables the republic was established, and all rank and title were sunk in the general jubilation over the honor that had been conferred on the American Church. The scene presented m the two rooms Was remarkably animated; but the great feature was the lunch to the new made Cardinal, ‘the crowds assembled in the vVi- cinity of the chureh eagerly watched the ap: arance of the Cardinal with a view to giving imap ovation, In order to avoid unnecessary at- tention, the Cardinal dia not leave the charch at ihe same time as the mass of the cle The room on the rignt of the entrance to the Catholic Asyium had been set apart jor the use of the Car- dinal, bishops and disungutshed guests. This apartment Was decorated with the American and Papal colors. On tne arrival of tne Cardinal he was met at the door bya number of priests and laymen, who welcomed him to the hospitabie roof of the Sisters, At the inner door the good Sister Frances, tne Superioress, welcomed the Cardinal on behalf of the convent and received the Cardinal’s biessing, Nearly all the bishops of the North American Churen followed in the train of the Cardinal, Whose costume of red stood out boldly among tne purple robes of the bishops.

The Vardinal’s mansion, on the corner of Thirty sixth street and Madison avenue, presented an animated appearance last evening.
