SOCIETY IN HOME CIRCLES, Many Pleasant Social Events During the Past Week, CANON PATERSON'S MARRIAGE A Re-Unlon Picnic—Various Happen- ings In Social Clrcles of a Pleasant Nature—General Gossip. Bociety in Omaha. 1t is not strange that the many purse- limited people of our land gaze with en- vious eyes upon the happy throngs de- parting for the summer resorts. The happy faces of thewold and young Wwho hasten away to joyous breezes and quict nooks are surely to be envied by their more unfortunate fellow-beings, who are compelled to remain under the same old monotonous suns which pour their rays down with malice toward all and charity for none. This summer Promlsap to be a warm one and it is well hat the climate of Omaha is a most agreeable one in which to spend the heated term, During the past week many of our society people have departed for their re- treat and the present week will witness the departure of many more. In the circles of home society the past week has been a very pleasant one, some very agreeuble events having taken place. The Paterson-Parsons Nuptials. 1f the inuch beloved canon had not been too modest the event of the week might have been the marriage of Rev. James Paterson to Mrs. Julia A. Par- «8ons, of this city. The ceremony took place at St. Luke’s church, Plattsmouth, and was performed by Rev. H. B. Bur- gess of that place. The affair was a quiet one, n fact so quiet that many of the most intimate friends of the divine were totally ignorant of the happy union. ‘Everyone knows Dr. Paterson as the tor of St. Marguerite's church, and editor of the Guardian, the aper of this city. Ipiscopal His bride is a lady, lor many vears a resident of Omaha, and loved and esteemed for her many estima ble traits of character. The quictness of the nuptials will be forgiven by the many friends of the happy couple in tl eagerness to wish them much hap- 8s and prosperity. ‘That the union of two christian wor who have labored long and earnestly in the vineyard may be one of increased benefit to the se as well as to them- sclves, will be the earnest wish of all Omaha, A Reunion Picnio. Thursday evening last a most enjoya- ble event occurred at Hanscom park, the oceasion being a reunion picnic by Omiaha familes whose former home had been Marshalltown, In. The whole af- fair was an impromptu one, but was as great a success as though weeks had been spent 1n preparation. The invitations with a_few unavoidable exceptions were most cheerfully responded to. The ele- gant supper was just suich a one as u lu-r.«nn acquainted with Marshalltown ndies would expect, In variety, prepa- ration and arrangement there was noth- ing left to add, and it may be said that the good-humored Hawkeyes not only brought with them their proverbial so- cial qualities. but they also brought their Towa appetites, and the way those tempting viands disappearcd was onmuih to make a dyspeptic die of envy. Rev. A. R. Day, whilst adding largely to the entertainment of his former neigh- bors, kept decidedly close to the chicken pie. Mr. A, W. Gregory, while crossing » park with his well-filled basket, was eld up” by a jolly erowd of picmie people, but came into camp, basket and all, in good shape. The supper was bounteous and a complete success. The number presont ‘was over lifty, the following being a com- plete list; Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Lyon, Mr, and Mrs. Captain A, H.

MCGLYN, ‘What Manner ot Man the Pope Is—His Idca on Socialism, NEW York, July 16,.—|Correspondence of the B Imost on the same day that Dr. McGlynn was ex-conmunicated by order of the Supreme Pontifl Leo XIIL there was running through the press in New York, in London, in varis, in Cologne, in Turin, in Barcelona and at the Hague the first author- ized “Life" of the pope, which was written Jargely from a manuscript in the vatican which he lent tothe author, Dr. Bernard O'Reilly, an American priest. It is, there- fore, largely autobiographic, and having re- ceived the pope's speclal blessing and sane- tion it may be taken as the narrative of his career by which he himself desires posterity to judge him. The author has also the e pecial congratulations of Archbishop Gib- bons and Arehbishop Corrigan, It will be recalled that DR. W'GLYNN'S ATTITUDE 18 not the attitude of a Protestant to the pope but of a believer in the Roman church, its doctrines and its system of government, still of a rebel against what he regards as the par- ticular abuse of the papal and hierarcheal powers. In other words, Dr. McGlynn maintains that he has not sinned against the real Roman church—not against the Catholic religion—but only against this particular pope and his hierarchy. ‘I'he very essence of the McGlynn case, therefore, lies in the es- pecial experience, carcer, doctrines and pe- culiarities of Leo XIIL. And the narrative of the pope's life which he himselt has au- thorized and to a great degree himself writ- ten, leaves no room for wonder that the course pursued by Dr. McGlynn has been attended with the consequences that the whole political and relicious world is now discussing. ‘The greater part of Joachim Pecel’s life (for that is the pope's name), has been fight for the TEMPORAL POWER OF THE CHURCIH, and for the wainta trine upon which its t spiritual power must re: of the earlier part of was his work as bishop ot scholarly and deyout man frow his youth up, ata comparatively early period (he i seventy-seven years of age) along with the Humility of the tiue pri the self-sacritice of a devout man, the pug- nacious qualities of the chu, militant ‘and diplomatic qualities of ery rarest order. 1t he had not been a priest hé mizht easily have become one of the foremost secular diplomatists of his time. lie wasa cardinal in 1860, after his long service as bishopric of Perugia, when he wrote an alinost herce ex- planation to the “Roman Question,” main- taining the necessity of a temporal domin- ion of the pope, 'This was before Garibald's expedition to Sicily and the Piedinontee in- vasion of Umbria. "It is false,” he said, “that any Catholic holds the temporal do- minion 1o be a dogma to his faith. But it is most true and must be evident to every in- telligent mind, that there is a very close con- nection between this temporal power and the spiritual primacy.”” *“This chureh is the kigaom of Christ,” he exclaimed, “can the head of this kingdom, without unreason, be- come the subject of of a mere earthly poten- tate?” And so all through the revolutions that followed and the temporal loses that be- fe!l the church, he was her vigorous cham- pion as AN INDEPENDENT EXISTENCE in this world as well as a guide to the world bevond., And when the hnal invasion by Garibaldi cawe his double conduct as hum ble priest and as daring diplomatist equaliy command admiration, “Already he had lived In Bel:dum, as Papal Nuncio. ° Ile eled in France.

Socialism he uses in the widest senso—a sense wide enough to include the orge-Mctilynn theory of land-holding; and this is a passage from that now famons document: *“They (the soeialists), deny the right to hold property sanctioned by the laws nature; and by a_savage audacity, under the pretext of providing for the needs and desires of all_mankind, they aim at dis- possessing people of all that they have law- fully Innerited, or gained by tneir talents or industry, or loarded from their savings. “These monstrous opinions they proclaim in their meetings, teach in theiz pamphlets, and spread throuzh a host of organs in t press.” ‘The man who wrote this, whether viewed as a_mere autoerat or as' supreme pontiff, is evidenty not the man who would permit’ Dr. McGlynn inside the church to roclaim THE COMMUNAL 0W Whether or not the pope true position for the Catholic and every critic of recent ovents must decide for himself; but it 1s vlain to everybody that Joachim Pecet (Leo X111) s perfectly consistent now with his previous doctrinal teachings and his previous experi- ence. Of course nothing 1s said in this semi- autobigraphy about any plan (it any such plan wore ever really on foot as some of Dr. McGilynn's [rionds think) of making an effort to send a PAPAL NUNCIO TO WASHINGTON, but there is not another prominent govern- ment under the sun with which his holiness has not had important dealings, notwith- standiog the fact that he has been o “prisoner in the vatican.,” He has time and again entered the councils (never in person of course, but none the less effect- ually) of Russia and Germany and Soain, to sav nothing of Austria and France and el gium.
