Or Oee- The Golden L.gend.

To those who have never read Longfel- low’s “Golden Legend,” aid who intend to patronize the Philharmon:: Society Concert this evening, a short ex»lanation of the scenes chosen by the music:l composer for hs Cantata may not be urscceptable. The first scene represents Lucivr in a storm of thunder and lightning -ncouraging the «pirits of the airto pull down the cross from the spire of Strasbur: Cathedral. The spirits declare that they are overpowered by

legions of Saints and Angels, and eannot effect their purj:se. Lucifer next directs their efforts against _ the bells, but his eubis:ts tell Him

that the bells have been [tlessed, and are beyond their power. Nex: the lightning is ordered to be aimed at ithe iron-studded portals. But the same answer comes, the doors are too well guarded by apostles and martyrs. Finally the spir'is are ordered to desist, and they fly cff net much dejected by failure and defeat, if one may judge by the songs they sing as they leave. Then from out the Cathedral is heard the sclemn music of the choir in apt coatrast with that which has just died away. It shouid be mentioned that during the attack on the Cathedral a chorus of male voices sing the old legends usually inse bed on church bells. Thus the andienc:: have the augry orders of Lucifer, the some what apologetic replies cf his ministers, and the solemn ex- postulations of the bells to form a combin- ation of the most dramatic character.

The second scene introciuces the hero, Prince Henry of Hoeneck, who, ia exquis- ite music, details his ma!:dies, ‘‘physical and mental,” aud wishes fir death, Luci- fer, in the garb of a traviiling physician, suddenly presents himself - ‘earns what the Prince’s iilness is, ridicu cs the remedies proposed by the doctors «f Salerno, and gives him a draught of his own compound- ing. The cff-c's of this dr,ught are repre sented in a piece of exquisi'e workmanship by the musician. The wil! ecstacy of the Prince, the horrified mutterings of the in- visible chorus ef angels, aud Lucifer’s dreadful revelations of the effects his draught will work, are mae to stand out and yet biend in a manner -hat does credit to the skill of the musical a ithor.

Weare next introlucei » the Heroine Elsie, 2 peasant’s daughter, \7ho has come to know that the prine:’s life cai only be saved by a maiden dying in his stea i —she willingly offers herself as the sacrifice. Her prayer for help and guidance is conceive! in Longfellow’s fisest veiu, and truthfully 1c-echoed by the music,

The Prince and Elsie, with ‘heir attendants, arrive at Salerno. Here Luc'ier again iotere poses. Elsie is determino! te die. The prince represents her as mad. She is carried off by Lucifer, and the prince end attendants make a wild rush to resc.c her. To this scene of paesion succeeds one of calm repose. The prince has been cured by means less desperate than a human s crifice, and in gratitude to the unselfish Kis o, he has made her bis priacess. ‘They cal her the Lady Alicia now.”

CONVENT DE NOTRE DAME. METHODIST CONFERENCE.

'

| Last Days of the Scholastic

Year.

A Golden Anniversary.

THE commencement exercises of the Convent de Notre Dame were distinguish- ed by an altogether unexpected and unique entertainment. The visiters included Judge Reddin and Mrs, Reddin and the Misses Reddin, Mrs, and Miss Sullivan, the Superintendent of Education and Mrs McLeod, Dr. Anderson and Mrs. Ander- son, Professor Caven, Dr, Conroy and Mrs. Conroy, Mr. P. P. Gillis and Mrs. Gillis, De. Cunningham, of Boston, John A. Mce- Donald, Esq , Joseph A. Macdonald and several others of the laity, together with a large representation of the Roman Catholic clergy of the diocese headed by Monsignor Macdonald, who occupied the chair. The room was tastefully decorated. Among the mottoes on the wal's were conspicuous the. words “June, 1842,” ‘June, 1892,” the meaning of which was explained in the course of the event. We regret that space is not afforded Tue EXAMINER to-day for a descriptionoftheentertainment The central point of interest in the programme was **A Mystery and its Solution.” The secret was out, however, when it appeared in the eburse of the review of his life, which the young ladies declaimed, that the entertain ment was in honer of the iftieth anniver- sary of the admission to the priesthood of the Very Rev. Monsignor Macdonald. Tho tribute, was poetic and artistic in concep- tion, was beautifully (shall we say perfectly?) réndered by the children and young ladies of

schoul, whose clear enunciation and excel- lent mavuner were admirable. The music, te», with piano, violin, harp, and the sweet voices of the girls, was exvellent.

‘Monsignor Macdonald expressed, in the course of a brief and el quent specch, his heartfelt thanks for the beautiful memento, for which he was quite ucprepared. The Rev. Ronald McDonald said that he had been delighted with the enteriainment,

which was, indeed, a well-merited tribute to Monsignor Macdonaid. He added that it was Father

James who had made a Christian of him— upon which it was remarked that the Rev. Ronald was a very fine specimen of the Monsignor’s workmanship! De. Anderson complimented the sckool upon the excel- lence of the entertainment, and the good and lady-like conduct of the girls from the Convent schools. He also bore testimony tu the solid acquirements of some of these girls as evidenced by the high position they obtained in competitions at the Prince of Wales College and Normal Schovl. The Superintendent of Ejucation spoke of the ‘“*admirable work” of the girls whom he had examived in mathematics and said that he had frequently noticed that they were particularily good readers.

Very Rev. James McDonald was born in St. Andrew’s, King’s County, Prince Edward isiand, on the 19.h of May, 1819. His father was Donald McDonald, of the Western High- lands of Scotiand, who emig:ated from Gieen- uch in the brig Alexander for St. Joha's Is- land (now called P. K. Island) in 1772. His mother, Cathe:riae McDonald, was born iu South Uist in 1777.

Mr. McDonaid studied for several years at St. Andrew’s College, and ia 1840 he entered the Graud Seminary, Qaebec, where he was ordained on the 26.n Juxe, 1542, by the late Right Rev. B. D MeDonald, bishop of Char- lottetown. He was appointed Vicar General in 1855 and Monsignor in 1887.

Lhe following parishes have been served by him since his o:rdiaation ; S*%. Mary’s, Iadian River; Saints Peier end Paul, Summerside; Sct. Peter's, Seven-Mil) Bay; Sc. Patrick’s, Grand River West; St. Aun’s, Lennox Island; ani numerous outeide stations.

Ia 1869 he took charge of St. Duanstan’s Conege, Charlottetown Royalty, of which he reiingaisned the rectorship in 1880, to under- take the p.storate of the parishes of St, Andrew's and St. Lawrence, Moiell, of which parishes he pow has charge,
