Itseems toas very strange that there shouldbeanINTEREST- any hesitatioo among the Presbyterian bodyas toingquestion, the absolute necessity of reading the Bible in the

schools. Considering what theirprofessions are asto the effects ofreading theBible,itmight naturally appear that theywould make this tbe one thingneedful,ardcast away all other con-siderations and all other interests with respect to it. From thereport of themeeting of the DunedinPresbytery held last week,itwould appear that sucb was not the case. If thers was not indiffer-ence shownby someof theministers who spoke on the subject, therewas at least hesitation and donbt. A communicationhad beenreceived to tbe effect that the committee appointedon the questionhad recommended ministers to insist on the importance andneoessityof reading theBible in the schools, andoffice-bearers toexert them*selves for the return of Parliamentary candidates pledged tosupporttheir claim. Strange to say tbe recommendation was opposed bysome of the ministers as impracticable. The Bey Mr Porter, forexample, wentso far as toexpress a doubt as towhether evenasinglevoter could be influenced in the desired direction. Tbe Bey MrDutton Slid he wassatisfied thitmost of tbe congregations were notin earnest in tbe matter. Let us hope that the views expressedbyMr K. B.Cargill, wbo wasalso present, may prove to be more to tbepurpose They were certainly more manly, as well as morein accor-dance with wisdom and justice. We quote from the report given bytheDaily Times:—" Mr Cargill said there was noreason why wbathad been donein London and other largecities in the oldcountryshould not be done here, and if they were strong in demanding thatthe Bib'e should be introduced into tbe public schools of the colony,and sought the aid of other churcbee, they would get what theywantedbefore long. As to the claims of tbe Catholics, he did not seeany objection to their gettinga grant for their schools. laScotlandandin Ireland tbe Catholic schools bad an allowance likeallotherschools,and he could not see why the people of this colony shouldseek to perpe u*te asystem of opposition to the claims of the Catho-lics, and try to make tbereselves different from the peopleof othercountries. He thought that was the opinion ofa good many of thePresbyterians in town, and it was a great pity that their claimsshould be raised on that occasion. What the presbytery had to dowas to get their people to introduce the Bible into the pnblic schoolsfor the benefit, of their children They shouldkeep that point inview, and let the difficulties take care of themselves." The result oftbe'discussion was the appoinment of a conference on tbe subject, tobe held in a fortnight. It renmns, therefore, for us to ccc whetherthe professions of tbe Presbyterian body as to the effects ofBiblereading area mere emptyecho of a belief entertained sincerely bythem io dayß gone by. If such proves tobe the case, wemay regretthat a form of Christianity,however imperfect,giveswaybefore thead-vanceof infidelity. Ifthe Presbyterianbxly remainfirm intheir faithitis impossible for them to assign toBible-reading a pUcesecondaryto that occupied by anything. The result ot the conference alludedto, therefore, besides ita particular interest as referring to the publicschools, will possess for us a general interest as relating to thePres-byterian body as a body of professing Christians.

Theyhadbeen recruitedinthe iluma of London, and bore all the marks in their personsoftheir origon. Poor, stunted, bandy-legged, miserable-lookingfellows, they were. When askeJ what brought them there theirreply was that they bad come over to

An amendment to the Home Rule Bill that hasA PAINFUL with apparent reason, caused a good deal of dis.

AMENDMENT, satisfaction among tbe National party, has beenone relating to aliens. Details, of course, wehave

"till to receive,but, from the generalinformation conveyed tons bytbe cable, we may conclude that a question of the privileges ofAmerican citizens in Ireland was involved in the matter. LordCranbome, Lord Salisbury's son, indeed, as we are told, tried tomake apointof the matter against the Liberal party generally byrepresenting them as hostile to Americans. Mr Gladstone, however,with a rebuke addressed to the noble lord, as oneof the bitterestMembers in the House,explained that the intention of the Govern-ment was only to preserve to the Imperial Government th*"ir fullright with respect to foreignnat ons. What, nevertheless, could bemore natural than that the Irishparty shouldbe anxious to extend,

as it were,the hospitality of their particularhearth to tbe Americancitizen? What can be harder for them than to regard as aliens theirkindred beyond tbe Atlantic, or the members of thatkindly peoplewho have given their kindred a welcome, andall the considerationthat enables them to makeon theirshores anew and moreprosperoushomeT Who, besides, more than the peopleof America have takena principal part in the present struggle, or to whomare the pros-pects of its success more due? To refuse to the American citizen acomplete participation in any privilege that the peopleof lielandthemselves may enjoy must needs seeman act of black ingratitude.We can, therefore, easily understand that the IrishMembers wouldbe taken abackat an amendment proposing to bind their hands inthe matter, and implying at least a possibility that disabilities mghtbe imposed inIreland on members of a people to whom the countryowed somuch

—multitudes of whom, in facf, were asmuch bonnd to

the country by ties of bloodand affection aaif they had never crossedthe ocean. Itwasa poiut on whichit would be impossible to avoidakeen affection of sentiment. Still Mr Gladstone's attitude on theaubject is not incomprehensible, nor is it altogether incapable ofdefence. Welcomeas the American citiren must ever be in Ireland,andanxious as the Irish peoplemust always be to repay Americanslor the inestimable benefits they have sogenerously conferred upon

NEW ZEALAND TABLET Friday, Jnqc16, jjMthem, there arestill instances in which American interestsare widelyat variance with those of Great Britain. There are questions, forexample,of national privileges, such as that nowpending withre-gard tothe seal fisheries in the Behring Sea. There arequestionsoftrade and commerce, and tbe probabilities are,not of a decrease ofsuchconflicting interests, but of their growth,as the yeangoby. Ifthe Panama Canal, tor instance, ever beoomesa reality, a vast in-crease of the kind, as well as, perhaps,a oreationof otherdirficu).ties, may be expected. To ensure to America, therefore,asettledand unalterable hold onany part of tbe UnitedKingdom would bea step thatcould hardly be taken with due regard to tbe interestsoEthe Kingdom at large. But it is tosupport and forward thesein-tereststhat Mr Gladstone is pledged. His advocacy of Home Buteitself,in fact, is only justifiable on the grounds thathe sees it to beconducive to the promotionof these interests. Tbe situation, there-fore,so far as it has been reportedto us, seems easy to understand.We fully share tbe sentiment of the Irish party, and perceive thepain they suffered at the disappointment it met with. Bat we areforced torecognise the exigencies of Mr Gladstone's position and toadmit that the course of action taken by him, as viewedfrpm thestandpoint be occupied, was just and prudent. Lord Oranbornemight turn tbematter to account by an attempt todistort it. Anyother course,nevertheless,would have exposed tohis bitterness— totbe weapon bitterly and cunningly aimed by him against Irishinde-pendence, a vulnerablepoint.

did the largest amount of work. Bat, on the other hand, we mostremember that, m George Eliot, or Shakespearebeforeher, has toldnt, lilmotianot always a noteof wisdom. It is not necessarily thesilent Member who is thebest Member or the moreeffectire worker.From what Mr Dawson says,whenbe does talk, we should say thathis is a case inpoint. MrDawson, inbis speech,in fact,said nothingparticular. All his strain appeared tobe a feeble repetitionof whatwe hadheardbefore. We donot, however,clearly recollect whomitwas that Mr Dawson's special crazeoriginated with, Most of oarnonentities,itmaybe observed, havea distinctive craze. For one itis the single-tax ; for another it is the State Bank— aninstitution,we may remark in passing,that, tosomemindsat least,maybe takenas signifying unlimitedloansatnominal interest andnorepayment.MrDawson'scrazeis the State school farm,where he would have thechildren of the Colony generally tangbt, at the pnblio expense, tomilk cowsand make butter. Andyet Mr Dawson admits— somebodynodoubthas toldhim— that the education system,even asit exists,is costing a largeram of money. That,indeed, seems tobe the onlything about it that be clearly understands. "There is one thingcertain,"he said,"and that is thatitis costing a largesum of moneyeveryyear, but under it every child of the Colony is assured of agood education." Children, nevertheless, who need it most— thechildrenof parents who cannot afford to keep them long enough atschool— are assured of nothing of the kind. Someone also hascrammed Mr Dawson with the clap-trap relative to the Catholicclaim. He gives us the usual rub-down of not a quite inoffensivesympathy. He admires our sacrifices, but that is all. Somebodyhas toldhim that,if we got what wo wantand havearight to,alltheothsr denominationswouldeach wantasmuch, MrDawson hasnot the nous to ses that his own lineof argument contradicts hisconclusion. He argues that the other denominations, seeing thatCatholicsobtained their rights, woulddemand the sameconcessions,and, they being a greatdealmorenumerous,wouldobtain them. Butif the other denominations desired to make their influence in thematter feltat thepolling-booth, as Mr Dawsonsays they wonld, theywoulddo sonow. It is an insulting charge to bring against themthat they waivetheir claims, and themselves submit to what theyregard as injury and injustice, merely to perpetuateinjustice totheirOathoiie neighbours. Mr Daweon,however, is not accountable. Hehas heard this argumentused, and he takesitup. Logicians of hiscalibre are incapable of independent views.

—The apology, then,

made by bis chairman for Mr Dawson washardly necessary. Itisrather to his credit than otherwise that he did not, as bis chairman■aid, fill many pages of JSantard. Let us give the hon Membercredit for allthat is due tohim. He had nothing tosay, and, there-fore, heheldhis tongue. Hansard \% none the worseof his reticence.We donot know, indeed,that the columns of the Daily Times aremuch thebetter of the coupleof columns that our contemporary hasdevoted to the reportof a verycommon-place and stupidspeech.

Thk manof the future hasscored a success. SirA conquering Robert Stout has been returned for Inangahoa—

hero? the tng of war, therefore, now begins. Itwilltakethe shape,weneed hardly say,of aneffort to form

so tospeak, thepatent incubator in which the comingrace it to behatched. Now itonce happened tous tobe acquaintedwith the caseof a lady who,having beenbrought up in a town, was unexpectedlybut inevitably,calledupon toeaterupon the directionof a farm houseand its surroundings. A kindly neighbour undertook to give hersome insight into the natureof her unaccustomed duties,and amongother things introduced her toa cluokiog hen sitting ona clutchofduck-eggs. The neophyte wasastonished to learn that ducklings,nitchickens, would come out. We greatly fear that the broodproducedin Sir Robert Stout's incubator will follow theexampleof those mis-guided ducklings and derive theirnature from tho parent birds. Wegreatly fear that evea under the influence of Sir Robert Stout'sbatching apparatus goose-eggs will not prodaceswans. Has not SirRobert himself indeed led as to form such fears? We have notforgotten variousutterancesof his in which the fatalitiesof hereditywere dealt with. But what are the chances that Sir Robert willsucceed even in his effort to form the patent incubator? Somethereare whohintthatbe re-enterspublic lifenottobuildup,or aidindoing so, but to destroy. The coach of State, they say,may becometop-heavy by his weight and topple over. Well, for our own part,we shall predict nothing. Very much, in our opinion, cannot bemade of Sir Robert Stout's return. Ithas been, in fact, almost aforegone conclusion— nay,it has been something of a downfall forSir Robert, A man of his eminence certainly should not have beenobliged to go away from the greater centres where he waspersonallyknown— to seek election in a comparatively obscure quarter. It isproverbial too, that distance lenda enchantment to the view, and thefavour of the Inangahuaelectors must, insomedegree, be takenat adiscount. The veteran moreover,contrary tohis evidentassumption,wasobliged tolust >inacontest,finally, though ablychampioned,beat-ing aninexperiencedanduntried competitorbyamajority of consider-ably less thanone thirdof the totalnumber of votespolled. What againhas been the meaningof that championship bestowedon Sir Robert'scandidature by the roaring lion ofthoseparts—aided, if we understandaright by a jackal or two ? Does a statesman whose ambitionitis todo away altogether with party government seek, inall sincerity, tostrengthen the form of governmenthe seeks to overturn? Or doeihe,relyingasperhapsherationallymay,onSirRobert'schanging fanciesand aptitude for catching up novel ideai", hope to find in him *cocvert and an ally ? We cannot tell, and possibly we are notsingular inour ignorance. We shall, however, watch with interestthestruggle for the formation of the patentincubator.

NEW 3EAI«AND TABLET Friday Jane 16, 1898

Labour Notes.At a meeting of the unemployed which was held at the DnnedinTown Hall on Fridaymorning, a complaint wasmade concerning tbepractice of sending sheepskinsout of tbe country in a raw state.This, it wasurged, implied the idleness of a thousandmen. Mr W.H. Hutchison, M.H.8., who took a chief part in theproceedings,suggested in reply that there were hardly so many men skilled infellmongery to be found in the Colony. The question, he added,coold not be summarily dealt with, Oae of the speakersdeclaredthat work must speedily be found or the men must comeon thecharitable aid. Mr Hutchison subsequently interviewed Mr Farnie,who explained that be was awaiting further instructions, the worksbeing everywhere full-handed.

We take thefollowing from tbe OtagoDaily Titnet :— So far theevidence taken by tbe Gumflelds Commission goes to show that theAustrians areall industrious and sober, but owing tokeeping togetherincommunities speaking their own language andmaintaining tbeirown customs, arenot likely to be considered desirable settlers. TbeHon.E. Mi'chelson gave evidence to-day. He said be hadnot seenmuch personally of the Aastrians,but 'In storekeeperand others whohad come in contact with them spoke in terms of the highest praiseof their industry and law-abidirghabits. His brothers stated thatthe averagecost of living for the Auktrians was 9a to12s each vanper week. He had been informed that upon their arrival in thsColony they werenot very flush of money, andbeing strongly aversetogetting into debt, they lived very frugally until tuob time as theysold tbeir first quantity of gum, after which they lived just as wellaB any Britisher. They were not as good customers however, tothehotclkeepers. Witness's own impression of Austrians waß that theywere not a deeirab'e class, inasmuch as that they came without theirwives and families, this being anevidence supporting the theory thatthey did not come to settle permanently. All the witnessess wereof

would have made absolutely sure of their ground. Last week ourGreymouth contemporary came under their lash, because it com*mendsd to thenotice of the Roman Catholic Hierarchy in this colonythe example set to the American Hierarchy by Monsignor Satolli,thePapalLegate to that country. The OreyRiverArgvt hadsuggestedthat theTablet shonl.l omit its 'standing leader,' and the organofBishopMoranmade this reply :'While the Tablet continues to bepublished our leader will stand,and will remain a true statementofthings, until either tbe grievance plainly stated is remedied, or theinfallible Church renounces one of her everlasting principles— andthat will be never. A particular answer wewill give as well. Itwould be criminal on our part to withdraw our protest against tbeattemptmade todrive Catholic children into secular schools. Couldwe stand by with folded arms, for example, while our children werebeing bounded into that school inAuckland that was lately closedbecauseshameful disease had broken out among its pupils!' Now,the charge set forth in the concludingpartof the extractIhavemadeis just oneof thosesuppressions of tbe truth that are worse than adownright lie. It is another of these distortions of fact that areemployed by opponents of the national system for the purpose odefaming that system. The ordinary reader would imagine that aterriblebusiness bad been enacted in one cf the State schools inAuckland city. The fact,however, is, as tbe Tablet's writer couldhave learnedhadhe troubled himself to inquire, that the occurrencetook place ina small coal mining d:strict, and wasdiscovered by tbemaster of the local State school, and his inquiries satisfied him thattbe trouble had arisen through a girl of immoral habits who was notattendiog the school. The School Committee closed tbe scbo>l for aweek toenable them to make a searching inquiry, which fully boreout what tbemaster had reported to them. The affair, unfortunatethough it is, has no bearing whatever on our school system, becausethe principal offender was bayood school age, was not in attendanceat the school ie question, and was entirely beyond the control of theschool authorities, whose action,Iam informed, has received theapproval of all the parents of children attending the school.Doubtless tbe Tablet's object of throwing mud at the

Mr JohnBurns, speakingrecently at Poplar,professedhimself veryhopeful as to the future of demooracy. From the year1884, he said,when the agricultural labourer wasenfranchised, the workingclasseshad gradually used their politicalpower for the attainment of Booial,industrial,and economic ends. It was true that much of their powerbad been dissipated on crochets and fads, but these were now fastdisappearing. The spirit of democracy bad entered the ranks oftrade unionism, whicb 10 or 20 years «go was the monopoly of thearistocracy of labour. Since the dock strike they had seen that thedemocratisation of trade unionism had advanced more than it haddone during the whole of the preceding 50 yearß, and this had fol-lowed upon the democratisationof municipal government. Referringto the measures now before the Houie of Commons, Mr Burns saidthey were all of anessentially democratic character. He especiallyinstanced the Employers' Liability Bill, whichhe considered thebestattempt to deal wi'h the subject they had ever had. Some of thesemeasures would, he considered, have to be forced through, seeingwhat the Governmenthad at present tocontendagainst. When thesemeasures had become law, he thought they would see the gradualmergingof theLiberal and Conservative parties into one,and theevolution of a strong and united Labour party, abeand willing tocarry the aims andaspirationsof tbe workers into effect.

A cablegram under date London, June 6, informs as that MrJohnBurns cootends that the strike at Hull is a sign of the comingagitation for the abolition of the capitalist! as a class. The labourproblem, inhis opinion, will ba insoluble so long as capitalistsexiat,—

To an Iri-hman is due the honour of being the first war corre-spondent in the modern acceptation of that term. William HowardRussell it was who can justly lay claim to the glory of being thepioneer of these soldier pressraeo, who have accomplished suchwonderful feats and made such astounding

this line was his work for the London Times throughout the insurrec-tionof '48 in Ireland.

both tides. The terms of an arrangement were draftedon Mondayevening by a conference in theHouse of Commons, presidedover byMr Mnndella, president of the Board of Trade, thebasis being free-dom of action for Unionists and non-Uoionists and the suspension ofthe importation of free labour pending negotiations. The ShippingFederation is, it is said, manifesting a disinclination to accept Arbit-ration of any kind. The responsibility it thus assumes is of such agrave character as to suggest the necessity of investing pioperly-"jualified arbitratorswithsome sort of compulsory powers. The Billwhich Mr Mundellahas introducedseeks to meetthis requirement byconstituting the Boardof Tradeageneral umpire indisputesbetweenlabonr and capital. If sufficient care be taken to have all th«interests concerned duly represented,the plan ought to work satis-factorily. The impartiality of the Board can scarcely bscalled inquestion either by employersor employed.

Considering theextentof the employment in which womenandgirl labour is engnged (says the LiverpoolCatholic Times), the ap-pointment by theHome Secretaryof two womenas fac'ory inspectorsis a commendable start in the right direction. The Queen, we see,isnot altogether elated over the appointments. "It is the same," itsays, " with womtn inspectors as with matrons of hospitals. Someof the latter have gone through their duties, earningnot only thelove and affecion of the patientß, but the respect and esteem andco-operationof the general staff. On the other hand," it continues,"there ure not wanting examples of matrons whose pettifogginginterference with minor details, whose neglect of broad generalprinciples, and whose interference in matters over which they haveno control, have rendered them most objectionable to the entirehospital staff." We fail to sea the analogy. A paper written bywomenfor womenshould, we imagine, be more sympathetic in thismatter. No doubt agreat dealdepends uponthe selection of suitablepersons and the mutual co-operationbetween inspectorand employerto insure the comfort of work-peoplein shopor factory.

The BelgiaoChamberyielding toademandfor manhood suffrage,made with the accompanimentsof strikes, riots, and outrages, haveoompromised the matter. They have granted the suffrage de-manded but qualified it by giving a double vote to heads of families,ownersof property, and persons of a certain educational standing.

IRISH WAR CORRESPONDENTS.Members of the Queensland Labour party are blaming theOatbolicvote for the failure of someof their representatives in therecent elections. They, consequently, bring a charge of narrownessand sectarian bitterness against the Church. The Church, neverthe-less in standing out against the godless education on which theyinsist, takes counsel even for their own interests. The extremes towhich, without the restraint that religion only can impose, they bidfair to proceed, must eventually work the ruin of their cause andplace them in a position worse than that from which they now seekto retcoe themselves. All parties who oppose a religious educationdeserve the oppositionof Catholics

The designof thesemen is directly to excite hostility agaiost religion amongthe masses, and wemay reckon them among the adherents and cbam-pioosof the red revolution. The canse of labour, then,may cry outfor deliverance from its friends. The pleading of some of its advo-catesis such as tobring it into suspicion and to risk the alienationfromitof the sympathies of all who not only desire the safety ofreligion but even themaintenance of ordinary law and order. Wedonot know what the truestateof things withregard to the Queens-land elections is.

Oa the followingday he went by the expre&s train toTimaru, wherehz willpontificateat Mass andat Vespers onSunday next. He will give in theTheatreRoyal at Timaru on Monday eveniDg next a lecture, whioh will beillustrated with lime-light viewa, and delivered in aid of the localCatholic schools.

The Rev Father Marnane, the parish priestat St Mary's,receivedlast week a letter from the Rev Father La Menantdes Cheenai*. Thisletter is addressed from Sydney, which place the writer reached ingoodhealth andspirits after a splendid voyage thither. The com-munication from Sydney, whence he sailed en tb.3 27thof lastmonth,will probably be the last news we shall obtain of himuntil after hisarrivalinEurope.

On account of the recent storm and slight fall of snow whiohpreventeddue preparationsfrom being made and rendered thepath-waysunfit for walking, the procession of the Blessed Sacrament at8t Mary's on Sunday afternoon last took place around the interior ofthe church and not in the grounds adjoining the presbytery,as wasfirst intended. There was a large congregation, and when theVespers were sung the Very Rev Father Cummings preachedaBplendid discourse on the origin, extent,and natureof the devotionto the Sacred Heart. Many persons from bothparishes were presentand the various societies and sodalities took part in the processionsThe choir was greatly reinforced by several members of thechoirat the pro-Cathedral, and the masic was excellent. Mis E.Gambleand Messrs Funston and McCormack executed admirably the seloparts. The latter gentleman, who owns a very pleasant and well-trainedbass voice of great power and compass, rendered exquisiteljthe vocalsolo "OSalutaris," which MrHarry Rossiter hascomposed.The new pieceof music wasre-set by the author for the occasion inorder to suit the voice of the soloist.

Hiemental condition, whenever be permits himself to reflect on bis ante-cedents, is obviously hopeless. He sometimes wonders sadly whathas become of his offspring. But these are minor difficulties. Theworshippers have found truth and they are contented. They go onworshipping Mr Worthington and Mr Wortbington's accomplishedwife. They go and mortgage all they have, to build the pair atemple,and they subscribe freely to enable them to liveon the fat ofthe land. Without one unfulfilled desire thepair are installed aaco-equal teachers with a divine mission. In the course of time itis provedthat the male infallible is a polygamist of the most heart-less type,wholeft the United States because that great country wastoo hot for him. It is proved that the female left her husband andran awaywith themale infallible. The only result of thetruth isthat the Students of Truth, as by this time they havecome to callthemselves, will have nothing to do with the truth. They go onworshipping their pair of infallibles,Bwallowing their bad flapdoodle,and lading out their own good money in return, Presently theinfallibles disagree ona point of doctrine, and the new religion isthreatened with a schism.

Cork*—

Miss Helen D'A'ton, the famous contralto, died inLondonon March 18. She was the daughter of Mr JohnShea, whowas Mayor of Cork many years ago, and it wasduring his Mayoraltythat the future singer was born. Miss D'Altoa developed superiorvocal powers at anearly age, and after a course of training,becameaprofessional singer in London. Shenever joined an opera com-pany,but pursued her career as a concert singer, and gave many

performancesat West End "At Homes." She was invited to andsang at the last Cork Exhibition. Miss D'Alton visited Cork threeyears after her visit to the Exhibition, andsucceeded in drawingcrowded houses nightly to hear a company which had no othernotable member except herself. She was married some years ago toa London doctor,but continuedher professionalcareer.

The White Star liner Britannic sailed on the 11thinst. fromQueenstown, at12.30, for New York witha number of lace workers,daiiy-maids, and workers of various Irish industries on their way tothe Chicago Exhibition. They will occupy the Irish village there.Inall they number twenty-one, andhave been selected by the Coun-tess of Aberdeen. They are under the care of Miss Charleton, ofDublin, and may be expected to return in December next. Theserepresentatives of Ireland were accorded a grand send-off, quite anumber ef people of distinction journeying to Queenstown to wishthema gond voyage, among them beingLady Arnott.

Mr John J. Piatt, lateUnited States Consul at Queenstown,hasofficially severed his connection with that port to enter upm hisduties as Consul in Dublin. He has been succeeded inQueenstownby Mr Kress. Mr Piatt and Mrs Piatt hive both made their markin literature as not the least among our minor poets. Their writingsareas racy of the Irish soil as those of Kickbam and Mangan, full ofsympathy and free alike from the prejudice and misrepresentationwhich disfigure the works of many recent authors.

Dublin.— The celebration of the Feast of the Annunciationwas observed with elaborate ceremonies at St Michael's Church,North Anne street, Dublin. The large new bell, which had beencast for the church five years ago, was recentlyplaced in tne newtower, and was tolled for the first time for the"Ange'u9" at twelve

Borneof the great advocates of the pat>t—

Richard Lalor Shiel, White-side, Fitzgibbon, Heronand Martley. la 1871, being thennearlysixty years of age, Mr O'Donoghue found his journalistic labourßpressed too heavily upon him, and retired from the Freeman'sJournal. He was tha author of several graphic sketches of the IrishBar, now out ofprint;and he contributed some admirable literaryarticles to the Dublin University Magazine.

Pertnanagh.-An old woman named Bridget Tummondied recently at her residence in the townland of Ballyreagh, aboutthree miles from Bnniskillen. She hadarrived at the ripe age of105years. Sue was in her usual goodhealthup to the time of her death.Thedeceased was the mother of tenchildren, andlived to see twentygreat-grand-children.

Galway.— -The Christian Brothers of St Patrick, Galway,acknowledge the receipt of 50 dols. from Josepb A. Oliver, BanFrancisco,Cal., being the annualendowment left by his late lamentedfather, the Marquis Oliver, K.S G., ani hid personalcontribution tothe Poor Boys'Breakfast and Clothing Institute,Galway.

Oa Friday last MisaMaui Gonne deliverei a lectureat Loughreaunder the auspices of the locul branch of the Irish Literary Society.The subject chosen was theFrench Invasion of Irelandin 1798, whichMiss Qonne treated withcharacteristic point and force. The lecturewas the causaof much interest in tae town, aod was well attendedand most cordially received. MissGoune willdeliver similar lectureson behalf of the Literary 8< ciety throughout the country, and fromher popularity, eloquence, and insight into Irish Questions, theycannot fail to be productive of lasting benefit.

NEW ZEALAND TABLET[Friday, Jane 16, 1893o'clock. The Feastof the Annunciation was specially selec'ed forthis ceremony in order to inaugurate the devotion of the " Angelas

"in the pariah, which probably took place for the first time in thuparish since the Reformation.

The Royal Munster Fusl'ers made anotable display at Rath-mines on Rt Pitrirk'R D\y. wViei 400 fl'rong, headed by their colonel,with drums rolling and fifes gaily playing Ireland's national anthem,every man with a tuft of shamrock in his busby, theymarched from their barracks to the Church of our f ady ofRefuge, to bs present at Hi^b Maps. Two of the Fusiliersserved Wass, eight others cirryinar flimbeaux, while several receivedHoly Communion. Benediction of thjBlessed Sacrament followed,hundreds of persons crowding; the sacred eilincp, while several of thesoldiers united with the choir in singing the

"Tantum Ergo." Colo-nel Johnstone deserves much credit for the liberality and kindlinessof feeing which induced him, Protestant as he is, to participateintheservices and the sameis undoubtedly to be said of the other Pro-testantofficers, who alsoshowed their sympathy with thedesire of theFusiliers tocelebrate the festival of the patnn of Ireland in themanner which befits Catholic soldiers.

Mr John O'Donoghue, barrisier-at-law, of Dublin, diedsuddenly on March 23, at the age of eighty-one years. H«was a well-known writer and journalist,and did immense services tothe Catholic and Nationalcause in bygone years. From1838 to1871he was connected with the Freeman's Journal. la 1831 MrO'Donoghue wasenrolled a scholar of Trinity College, and six yearsla'er he was admitted to thebar. He was the close friend of DanielO'Conneli during the Repeal agitation, aid was on intimate termiwith,andheldin high regardby, many leading figures on the judicialbench and at the bar. Ho was also a friend of Doherty, Perrin,Brady, Pigott and O'Hagan, andhe was known and esteemed by

IrishNotes.Antrim.— A manifesto ha3been issued to the R'lyul Irish Con-stabulary by the

"members

"of the Provisional Committee who met

at Belfast on March 20, calling upon them "to orgtnise in face ofthe threatened danger of Home Rule, despite all disciplinary rulesin the Constabulary Code to the contrary." The constabulary areexhorted not toallow the possibility of their being

'"bossed

"in the

futureby the village ruffian and the professional agitator, but to betrue to themselves, for were they not 12 000 of the best men theEmpire could produce, and were they not in possession1 The com-mittee, which claims to be representative of everybarrack in Belfast,proposes to bold a conference inBelfast and constables are informedthat a fund hasbeen started toindemnify those who may be puuishedfor takingpart in the movement. The manifesto is Lot signed.

Clare*— The taxed costs in the East Clare election petitionoast amount to £5,000, of which £1,000 had been lodged by the peti-tioner, Mr JosephR. Cox,ex-M.P.

200,000,000 DOLLARS LOST.

Sevbnty-five years ago Thomas L. Walker, then a mere boy,planted four walnuts by the roalside opposite his father's house inthe eleventh civil district,near Cedar Bluff, andsome ten miles westof Knoxville. He died ten yearsago, and yet he lived to see fourwalnut treesgrow up to a measureof four feet in diameter, worth,ifcut andproperly seasoned, at leant 400 dollars each. Had he planted300 walnuts on an adj mi g acre of ground, liis heirs, when he died,would have been 120 000 dollars better off. To-day they would havebeen 200 000 b»Her off. Had he planted ten acres they would beworth 200,000 000. dollars. Had he planted 100 acres, and all thetrees had reached an averagesize of three feet in diameter, ani thereis no reason why they shoulin'r, as the land is fertile and impreg-nated withlime, his hpirs, and there are only three living, would beworth 200,000,000 dollars. If, like old Johnny Appleseed, whoplanted thousands of apple trees in the north-west, he had plantedall the worn-out fields in Tennessee in walnuts, it would be therichest State in the Union by far. Tbousanis of people lose theirlives by similar oversights, they neglect the important warningsof nature, who always gives timely warning of the approachingphysical disease. Sometimes it is a headache, sometimes neuralgia,toothache, indigestion, constipation, or what not 1 Severally andcollectively they indicate that something is wrong, and wi«e is hewho takes time by the forelock and has a course of Clements' Tonic,for that is a reliable remedy,as provedby Mr Joha Haynes, geopralblacksmith, Stockton,New South W,tlep, who writes on January 7^,1893:

Tyrone.—

Even with Mr Balfonr in their midst, the Orange-menare not entirelyhappy. Furthermore, thepresence of the Tyne-siders, whose enthusiasm was at their service, for the low sum offourteen shillings a day, didnot bring themunmingled bliss. Poli-tical fever cannot whollyblind an Orangeman to a sense of sham,when sham is abroad. In the office of the Tyrone Constitution,there isan nntasy feeling that all is not well.

A NEW HOME TREATMENT.Sufferers are not generally aware that these diseases are con-

tagious, or that they are due to 'he presence of living parasites inthe ltnine membrane of the nose aid eustachian tubes. Microscopioresearch, however, has proved this tobe a fact, and the result is thata simple remedy has been formulated whereby these distressingdiseases are rapidly and permanently cured by a few simple applica-tions made at home by the patient once intwo weeks. A pamphlet,explaining this new treatment, is sent on receipt of a 2^d stamp byA. HUTTON DIXON. 43 and 45 East Bloor street, TorontoCanada.— Scientific American.

If you suffer from dyspepsia,loss of energy, neuralgia, poverty of the blood, or poor appetiteGolden Remedy No 2 will cure you.

his paper toa remarkable contribution from anorthern ProtestantUnionist. "Is peace possible," &Bks this thoughtful Ulsterman,'"Jeven at this late stage?" All the talk abouf lining the ditchesseems tohim to be what the reviewer called "clotted nonß3Dse.'11 1 write," he proceeds tosay,

"from the pointof view of an Irish

Protestant Unionist,andas one who would put the material pros-perity of my country before any mere matter of sentiment. Onething, Ithink,may be accepted, and that is, that sooner or later Ire-landmust haveself-government." He gives weighty reasons for thisthought, He urges the "loyal" minority to accept the inevitable,and make thebest terms they can. If Irelaid is to become as pros-perous as it lies inher power tobe, political and religious animosityhe sees, mustbe abated. North and South should transfer from thepolitical to the industrialand practical arena,that immea&ity of Taineffort which, used as it has been andis being us^d, is bo wasting tothe nerve tissue ot the nation. Thes« are wise and practical wordsfor the Orangemen to study. The latter are welcome to the samerights and privileges as the majority of their coun'rymen, but mono-polies and sham must cease. As the writer in the Tyrone Consti-tution wiselyput it, they should accept the inevitable. In the endthey may receive abetter treatment from their Irish Catholic brethrenthan from either ex-coercioniets, or the fourteen-shilling touris's ofthe Tyneside.

"Waterford.— The Waterford and Limerick Railway Com-pany, at their meeting onThursday last, accepted the tender of MrRobert Worthington for the completionof this railway, the cost ofwhich will be £270,000. Tbia is ont of the railway lines originatedby Mr Bilfour, anl towards which the Government gave a cashsubsidy of £150,000. It is understood that the works will be com-menced immediately, andcompletedin about eighteenmon'hs or twoyears.

WELLINGTON.

(From oarown Correspondent.)Jane 10, 1893.

AT the weekly meeting of the Aloysian Society, held at St Patrick'sHail,Bouloott street, on the 29ihult,a lecture was delivered by MiLoughnan, editor of the New Zealand Time* to a large number ofmembers, besides several other gentlemen attracted by the well-known ability of tbe lecturer and by the Bubject on which he badchosen to speak, viz, *■ The Press." He likened tbe progress ofdevelopment in tbe newspaper Press to that made inmarioe archi-tecture,comparing tbe newspaper inits beginning toa Maori"dagoat," and in its latest form toa nret-cluss steam liner. He made itplain that where liberty flourished there also flourished the newr-paper,and where the rights and libertiesof thepeoplewere interferedwithby theparty in power the Press was always gagged. He gave"▼* t7graphic descriptionoi how tbe mighty Thunderer,withits twohundredand fifty thousand of daily circulation,is prepared for issue;and he then described the first newspaper that is known, the AdaDiurna of theRomans

—this was tbe first daily news. He described

the birth, growth, and great expansion of the newspaper Press ofGreatBritain,(paying honour to whom honour wasdue. To Wilkeswhom be described as aman morally weak bat intellectually a gianr,belongs the glory and honour of knocking off the last shackles tbatbound th« Press. He described the sensation caused by tbe lettersof "Junius," aad how well the secret of the name uf thatwriter was so kept that toj this day his identity is shrouded inmystery, to the eternal honour of the publisher, Mr Woodfall.Mr Loughnan had no difficulty in keeping up the interest of hisaudience for more than an hour, and at tbe conclusion of the lecturewas accorded a hearty voteof thanks, proposedby Mr Kennedy andseconded by Mr Devine. To a journalist Mr Loughnan's lecturewould be intensely interesting, for bis knowledge of his subject isthorough, and his experience extends over 20 years of jouraa'ism,which he laughingly described as a profession

"laborious though not

altogetherdishonourable." Before tbe meetiogclosed Father Powerannounced tbat papers were promised from Mr Maskell on "TbeFrench Revolution,"and from Mr Devineon"Boyle O'Reilly,

" poet,patriot, and journalist. On Monday, sth inst., the Aloysian Societybadunder discussion "Feet versus head; or,is the game of footballan unalloyedbenefit as well as apleasure?" A long debate followedwhichgaveopportunity toFather Power toquotelargely fiom Homerand the classics against too great indulgence inathletics; neverthe-less, tbe advocates of the

"manly game

"carried their point by a

largemajority. The followinggentlemen took part in tbe discussi >n :—Bey Fathers Goggan and Power, Brother Mark, Messrs Burnes,Bowden,McManaway and Coyle. MrMorgan delivered a recitation,and tbemeetingclosed witbprayer.

His Grace the Archbishop is still ab ent from Wellington.Sunday last being within the octave of Corpus Christi, was kept

with great iolemnity at St Mary's Cathedral. There was a largenumber of communicants at early Mass. Af er tbe High Mass ateleveno'clock tbe Blessed Sacrament was exposeduntil after Vesparsin the evening. Daring the afternoon the church was thronged withworshippers. The intoning of tbe Psilmsby the boys at Vesperswasexcellent. Father Davvson preached aneloquent sermon on tbeBlessed Sacrament, which w»s followed by a grand procession andBenediction. The sanctuary was exquisitelj decorated with crimsonandgold hangings, and, together witb tbe candles and flowers on thealtar, producedabrilliant effect.Ihave seen tickets for a high-class entertainment in aid of the

projectednew infant school which is to be erected on the site of theold oneinHill street. The following is a copy of the ticket which■peaks for itself:

"Conversazione and dance with tableaux vitants,

under the direc ioQ of Miss McLean, Montay, 26th June, 1893, at8 p.m., in tbeDrill Shed. O. McYlanaway, secretary." Miss McLeanis a lady wellknown in musical circles, and has rare talent id thedirection of organising and controlling an entertainment of thiskind, bo a genuine success is anticipated.

The Wellington newspapers contain kindly notices exprresive ofsadness and regret at therather sudden demise of the editor of tbeWellington Evening Press, Mr Claude Hearn, a Roman Catholic gen-tleman and an M.A.of tbe Melbourne University, which occurred onSunday the 4'h instant. Mr Hearn at one time taught a C*th<lieschool but left that position todevote himself to journali-tu. Hisrise in the journalistic profession wasrapid usbis talents were l're.it.He leaves a widow and two children to mourn his loss. Hia funeraltook placeonTuesday morning. The coffin wasborne to St Mary'sCathedral, where the solemn service for the dead was read hy iheBeyFather Power, after which the funeral procession left for KaroriCemetery, where the last riles were pTform^d by the Wry RevFatherDevoy, V.0., B.M. The following gentlemen w^re among theattendants at the funeral .—The Premier, the Hon T. W. Hiskp, MrDuthie, M.H.tt.;Mr Fi«ber, M.H.R.; Mr E. T. Qillon, tduorEvening Post; Mr Loughaan, editor N.Z. Times; Mr J. Kennedy,Mr O'Dea.

tfEW ZEALAND TABLETflriday. tune16, 1893At tbe Wellington Opera House, Maggie Moore (Mrs J. 0.

Williamson) has been deligbtiog large audiences, as she only knowshow, with her acting and singiog. Government House has beenlavish of its patronage to the charming actress, who is strongly sup-portedby the HollowayDramatic Company. Miss Moore acts witbthe same verveand dash as she did on her last visit ten years ago,and her voicehas,if anything, improved, if that werepossible. Herrepertoire is extensive, and such productions as "Struck Oil,"" Fortynine," " The Child of the Regiment," " Meg," and

" M'liss,"have been given with eminent success. Miss Moorehas had to sub-mit to the inevitable interviewer, and her reminiscences of men,women, and cities are pleasant reading.

The goddess who presides over the destinies of Wellington oeednot blash for aerprotige", for here iibow that candidcritic, the greatLondon FinancialNetvs, and also the Financial Times, speak of theWellington Harbour Board. Tbe latter journal says:"Tbe Welling-ton Harbour Board is one of those Boards whose bondsmight betreatedas a sound investment. The Board's report is most completeand most satisfactory; itnot only nfleets ibe increasing prosperityof New Zealand,but also shows in all its details that the HarbourBoardis adhering to i's policy of sound and cirefal finance." TheFinancial IVens says that the position of the Wellington HarbourBoard is quite sound and "has considerably improvedin 1892."—These are go den words, coming as they do from where investors incolonial stock have been so rudely shaken by tbe crash of Bankfailures in Australia. Wellington is indeed specially favoured, fromher geographical position,her harbour being so situated as to com-mand trade, andso formed as to give the very best accommodationto shipping with absoluts safety; and, again, by having able andexperienced menadministering the affairs of her Harbour Board.

PROGRAM AND JUSTICE INTHE NINETEENTHCENTURY.

o

Tmb Catholics of New Zealand provide, at their own soleexpense,an excellent education for their own children. Yetsuch is the sense of justice and policy in the New ZealandLegislature thaft it compels these Catholics, after havingmanfully provided for theirown children,tocontribute largelytowards the free and godless education of other people'schildren1!! This is tyranny,oppression,andplunder.

MR. DAWBON "DOES NOT QUITE GRASPTHE QUESTION."

§R DAWBON has boldly burst through theveil of modest silence,and given theelectorsof North-Ernst Valley a charming half-hoaraddress. Theprincipalpoint in thepublishedreport of this phenominal speech was thedeclaration of the Member for Dunedinsuburbs that " h« was determined to standfor Parliament at the nextgeneral election."

With that object, nodoubt, in view Mr Dawson turned hisgigantic intellect to the consideration of the education ques-tion. Catholics cannot but be grateful to this gentleman oflarge sympathies who is not afraid to comeonthepublioplat-form and declare thathe "must give RomanCatholics everypraise for the manner in which they support their schools,and the gr^at sacrifices they make to maintain them."Secularists, too, will applaud the conduct of the intellectualgiant who,"grasping the question"which Mr Rkkves didnot quite grasp, oracularly declared that in his opinion itwould be very unwise to interfere with the present systemofeducation. The man of few, but weighty and long-considered words, has spoken. Dunedin Catholicswill do well to note the utterance of one who, thougha secularist, is an admirer of Catholic sacrifice. "Goon," he says ineffect, "inyour noble work. Youhave wonmy admiration,and 1wishyou very well. Please remembermygoodwill at the coming general election." We anratherwearied of listening to encomiums on theself-sacrifice of ourpeople. We want no laudation, but simple justice. MrDawsonmakes a great mistake if he thinks that fine wordswill make amends for the unjust spirit which he showß indeclining to give Catholics back their own moneyfor theirown schools. He is "afraid it would lead to the revival ofdenominationalism." Anglicans, Presbyterians, and otherswould immediately, according to this keen observer andcapable Parliamentarian,ask for similar concessions. Theywould get what thej asked, and the present system wouldinevitablyfall. Mr Dawson would do well to consider thesignificance of his supposition. Thegeneral rushfor aid toprivate schools would unmistakeably show that the vastmajority of colonists are opposed to the public schoolsystem. Consequently, if Mr Dawson voices the feeling ofhis fellow-Protestants, an immediate change is necessary.Mr Dawson's argument is this : If Catholics obtain aid,Presbyteriansand Anglicans will demand and get aid, forthey arevery numerous and could so make their influence feltat the polling booth that their demands would be conceded.Thence would result the downfall of the nationalsystem. Weare not so well acquainted with the Member for Danedinsuburbs as to judgeof the amountof brainpowerat his com-mand. Purely, whatever be his mentalcalibre,Mr Dawsoncan see that Anglicans and Presbyterians, who generally arevery content with the present system, are not going todecidefor denominationalism simply because justice U done toCatholics, who cannot avail themselves of State education.Mr Dawson evidently takes for granted that Anglicans andPresbyterians are violatingtheir own consciences at the pre-sent time, and would wake up to a sense of duty whenexisting Catholic schools would bo brought under Govern-ment inspection, or else he believes that non-Catholics wouldcut off theirnose tospite their face. MrDawson either mis-represents the feelingof his fellow-colonists or

" does notquitegrasp the question." He has fiveor six months before himinwhichto prepare another brillianthalf-hour election speech.We recommend him to give the educationquestion carefulstudy. We are inclined tobe afraidhedid not ponder deeplythe subject matterof his speech,or he wouldnothavedeclaredthat the New Zealandeducationalsystem had not got a fairtrial. What does Mr Dawson mean? After sixteenyearsof tr.al the systemhas not had a fair trial! After sixteenyears of silence Anglicans andPresbyterians whohave rearedtheir children under the public school system will battle fordenominationalism ! The non-Catholic youth educated inanatmosphere of religious indifference will at once upset thenown cherished system if Catholics, who have all the timekept their own schools going,get merited assistance !

Mr Dawson may be right. We do not think,however,that aid with Government inspection to Catholic schoolsshould interfere with the public school byßtem. It shouldrather tend tocause healthyrivalry,and bo advance the cause

9th mat that the followingresolution has been unanimously passedby them :— "That the Rible be read daUy without comment in tbeschool."

—But if it be read without comment it is also read without

a conscience clause. It is read, inshort, in direct violationof thelaw , Ihe action of the committee may be very pioui, but it is,nevertheless, a pieceof bare-faced impudence for which they shouldbe called to account by the proper an horities. They have no rightwhatever so to take tbe law into their own hands. If they be per-mitted to Bet in this way,why should not all other committees, ifthey will, take their exampleas a precedent? There is the questionsettled, then, for tbe whole Colony by half-a-dozen nobodies at tbeback of Gcd-»peed.

We learn with rsgret that the long illness of tbe Moat RevDrReynolds, Archbishop of Adelaide, has ended fatally. His Gracedied on Monday last at tbe age of 65. The Archbishop's loss will beSeverely felt in the diocese over which be presided,wherehe washeld among his peoplein sincere affection, andgmernlly esteemed bythemembers of other denominations. His career had been a busyAnd fruitful one, andmanymonuments of his devoted labours remainto testify to his worth. Dr Reynolds, it will be remembered, hadvisited Dunedinsome few years ago, being present at the opening of8t Joseph'sOathedral. He was possessed of a kindly and winningmanner, and verypleasing memories of his visit remained with us.

—May his soul rest inpeace.

With respjet to the illness of the Cardinal-Archbishop ofSydrey, we (Freeman?*Journal,June 3) l6arn that,beyond thenews,paper cablegram, nointelligence of any kind has reached theecclt-siastical authorities at St Mary's Cathedral. It is probable bisEminence is suffering from a slight attack of fever. Although hisEminerce lived for twenty yearsin Rome beforebii appointmentasBishopof Ossory, Ireland, be is not proof against the ill-effectsofwhat is called the Romao climate. On almost every occasion of avisit to Rome since theperiodof his residence there as student andprofessor, his Eminence has bad an attack of illness. There is noreason to believe that there areaty grounds for anxiety at thepresenttime.

ON Sunday evening last, in St Joseph1* Ca'hedral, Dunedin, aprocessionof the Blessed Sacrament took place. The Most Holy w>sborne by the Rev Father Murphy. Tbe bearers of the cinopp wereMessrs Harris,Casey, Maboney,and McKeay, respectively president,vic«- president,treasurer,and secretary of tbe H.A.0.8.8,St Joseph'sbranch, who,as abody, wearing their regalia, took part in the pro-cession. Notwithstanding the severity of the weather, the churchwas crowded. The ceremonies were carried out in an extremelydevotional manner. It is particularly pleasing, we may add, to seehowclosely themembers of the Hibernian Society continue to iden-tify themselves with tbe observance of religion. Miss Rose Blaoeyand Mr Jones, who were present in the choir, sang as a duitStainer's "LoveDivine." Mr Edward Rager sang as a solo Ham-mil's"O Salutaris." Thelitany sung on tbe occasion wasanoriginalcomposition, of much devotional beauty, by Mr A. Vallis. Duringtheprocessionthe choir sang the Gregorian

"Pange Lingua."

Is tbeHon Mr Seddonamanof infinite modesty andunselfishness ?If not he bids fair to suffer grievousheart-burning and mortificationof spirit. Whatever may be the facts of the case, in public opinionSir Robert Stout re-enters Parliament as tbe boss of theGovernment,bequeathed to them in that capacityby the late Mr Ballance. What-ever the Premier does that is right will be attributed to Sir Robert'sinfluence. Whatever he dees that is wrong will be set down to hisresistance to Sir Robert's advice. Sir Robert Stout,in short, assumesto thepublic eye all tbehonours of the situation. It is tobe fearedthat the Ministry may speedily come to regard Mr Ballance's legacyas occupying theDlaca of a white elephant-— with a spiceof mischiefthrown in that did not add to tbe embarrassment arising from thegift of tbeBupeifiuouß b-ast. However,there Sir Robert Stout is,andthey must make tbe best of him.

Lobd Salisburyhas discovereda newpoint of danger inHomeRule. It is that it must lead to Ireland's aiding to cnt off England'sfood supply in time of war. The appeal is to the cowardice of theEnglish masses. Let us lopeJohn Ball will prove himself more ofa man than to heed it.

AMONG the names on the < fficial list of candidates who havepassed the second professionalexamination riuricg March and Aprilof the University of Edinburgh, we notice that of Mr A.J. M'llroyof Dunedin.

THK usualmeeting of the Saint Cecilian Society took place infit Joseph'sHall,Dunedin, on Monday evening, Mr A. Vallis,musical"dlrtctor, giving alecture, to a large audience, on breathing. MissJosephineMaoedoplayed thepianosolos, Krieg's "NorwegianBridalProcession" and "Aufdenbergen." Miss McLean contributed apretty song, and Messrs E.Dunne and N. Smith sang respectively14 Only oncemore

"and "The White Squall." On Wednesday even-

log a lectnreon the anatomycf the throat wasgiven to the Society,the members of tbe Catholic Literary Society being present byinvitation. The lectnre, which was illustrated by diagram?, wasextremely interestingand instructive and was highly appreciatedbythe audience. Tbe Bey Father Lynch introduced the Rev FatherO'Neill,on his return from Europe, and the Bey Brother Hugheson the evt of his departure far Melbourne. Both visitors addresseda few words to tbe meeting. A very enjoyable evening was spent.

THE Indo-European correspondence of April ltfth bears testi-mony to the work that the Irish Brothers are doing in Calcitta.They have recently effected much approvtd improvemints in thecathedral orphanage, where their labours seem to be very highlyappreciated. Our contemporary states that they are awaiting rein-

forcements from borne ia order to begin a Catholic school for thepoor in aplacecalled Howrab, where such a school has loDg beenneeded.

The Otago Daily Times returns, in a quotation from the St.James's Gazette, to that exquisite joke, the insult offered, through tbenames of wild beasts, to Irish people in America. It would, doubt-less, havebeen great fun for our con-(fmporary, for example, to takepart in that Loidon mob who a couple of centuries ago,as narratedby 8;r Charles Gavan Duffy in bis

"Bird's-Eye-Viewof Irish His-

tory," amused themselves by poking potatoes on the ends of sticksinto the faces of certain high Irish officials visiung their city onimportant business.

" The perverst'y of a people who donot lovesuch charming pleasantries," adds Sir Charles Duffy, " has naturallybeen tbe perplexity cf English writers down to our own age." TbeGaeette informs us that noIrish name9are to be given to tbe beastsin future. " But how," he asks, " are people to be stopped fromusing the old names?" Well, let us suppose, for the sake of argu-ment, by th' ir slf-resp ct and sense of dtcency. The people whoamuse themselves by a persistency in insulting others are themselvesnot altogether unlike gibbering apes and squeaking grunters.

—But

evetyman to his taste.— Wby shou'dnot our contemporary theDailyTimes take his fall of a congenial sport? He missed tbe potato-

poking—let him enj)y himself among the wild beasts.

The m st important itim of news sff cting Hone Rule thisweek is not apleasant one. It is that a depute with Messrs Dillonaod Hea'y, touching the Dublin Freeman, led Mr Sexton to proposethe resignation of his sett in Parliament for North Kerry. The honMember, however,has been led to reconsider tbe matter,and will notresign. Bo far this is fortunate,but it would be far more reassuringfor their friends, and would gi»e their enemies much less of anadvantage over them, if the members of the Irish party could re-member that self-restraint and union are above all thiugs necessaryf>r them. Such diffiienctß, even though they may not proceed toextremes, are most injurious and cannot but endanger the piospecteof success. Men of tbe stan ling of Messrs Dillon, lit aly, and Sextonought certainly to kaow better than to commit themselves ia such amanner.

Ina Dotewhich weotherwise ootice elsewhere, " Nemo," writingin the Dcnedin Star,BBtxxmte that tbe Gnymouth Argvs wascorrectin,M be says, commending to the Catholic hierarchy of the colonythe

"example set to the Amtrican hierarchy by MotiHi^nor Fatolli."But, whateverexcuse may be made for the Argus who perhaps badbeen deceived by tbe spurious resolutions quottd in his columns, awriter in the Dunedin Star can only with unblut-hmg impudencerepeat the falsehood reif_ectir g tbe I'apal Dtlegate'uattitude towardsthe codless schools. Tbe contradiction givin by tbe Archbishop ofBanFrancisco to the grossmisrr presentation of bis opinions made bythe Star's American correspondent might seem sufficient to havetaught the writers in that journal some respect for truib and decency.We nted not, however, wonder that a writer who deals lightly wiihdisgraceful immorality and makes a lidiculous < xcus* for itindefenceof the godless schools, confirming every word that in the particularcare hadbeen said about them,shoull coolly,and withan unblushiogcheek,repeat a falsehood in their defence. Moneignor Patilli, wemay add, haj set no such example as that asserted before anyhierarchy. He has, on the contrary, directly taught the at solutenecessity ofa Catholic education for Catholic children, p.nd called ontheAmerican non-Catholic people to recognise and co-optratewith it.

The school committee at Broad Bay have tiken a abort methodof fettling the question. We learn from tbo Dunedin Star of the

After the presentation the BeyBrother addressad a few wordi tothose present. He heartily thanked them for their kind expressionsof love and esteem, and alsjfor their beautifnl gift. He exhortedth m ever to be faithful to the advice given them by their teachenand, aboveall, he hoped that nooneof his pupils in after life woaldso commit himcelf as to bring shime and disgrace onhis teachers.This, he said, wouldbe the best proof of their lore and respect thatcould be given him.

The Bey Brother then shook hands withall present and wishedthem an affectionate good-bye

In the afternoon a nutnbprof friends assembled at the railwaystation to wish the Bey Brother farewell and ton voyag*. As thetrain was moving off threehearty cheers were given by those presentfor one of the greatest frunla the Christian Brothers' school,Dune-din,ha9had since its "tablishmen*, over17 years ago.

Your zealous endeavours to administer theconsolations of holyreligion, so frequently inall weathers, even to themost remoie parts uf this scattered parish, is worthy of admiration.Words are quite inadtqua c to express our feelings of the loss thatwillbe oursat your departure from amongst ns. When we look backat yiur labours for the last three yeais and the amount of work youhave tccomphfLod inso short a lime, we realise how arduously jouhave exerted yourself in the cause of our religun, and few, if anyotter priests would have attempted and accomplished so much.Coming as youdid to a new parish, wheie there was no residence forthepriest, two dilapidatedaud unfurnished churches,aparithmdebt,aBmall, pot r, and much ecatteied congregation,yet yon overcameallthese difficulties by your energy, and by yonr constant and zealousendeavours, and we regret that you now should have to leave thisparish which you practically have made. Your good works will liveafter yon, and the Giver of allgooiwill rewardyou,asHe aloneknowshow, for ail your goodness. We regret exceedingly thattime Isbo short,this being probably your last v sit to Hyde, that we cannot giveexpression to all we feel for your untiring zeal, goodness, and kind-ness ;and for your explicit andsplendid instructions we thaok youfrom our hearts ;and we beg to trier you this purse of sovereigns asa token fromus, yourdevoted and affeciiona c children, and toassureyou, reverend and dear Father, that your memory will last with thepeopleof the Hyde district ajlung as our lives;and our prajers andgood wishes willaccompany you wherever yon go.

The BeyFather Donnelly replied as io.lows :— "My dearfrimds,—Ithank you from my heart for your magnificent testimonial,and

too kindand flatteringaddress. It ishighly graiifving to me to knowthat 1have won your esteem and approbation whilst discharging myduties amongst you. Whatever labours may have been attached tothe discharge of theee duties you have made light by your kindandindulgent appreciation. Indeed,so goodhave youbeen to your priest,and so ready to co-operate withhim in everything thatmight tend tothe advancement of religion, that whatever Iaid for you maybecalled a labour of love. la the goodness of your own hearts youattribute tome qualities which, no doubt,BhouM adorn every priest,and, alas,Ifull farshort of yoor ideal. It is true thatfrom the edify-ing lives of the peoplein Hyde district, and from the experience ofthemany virtues whichIwitnessed,Icould learn to be what you socharitably represent me 10 be. This is is a happy moment for memy friends,not, indeed,because Iam the recipient of your goldenfavoors,but because1am the occasion of your giving another proof

Mr Davittseems tohave earned thedeadly enmity of the would-be wreckers by his services to the cause of his cenntry. Havingfailed to keep him oat of Parliament by the Meath petition, theyhave now begun proceedings to make a bankrupt of him for tbecosts in that case. As Mr Davitt made an trier to his opponentswhich would have prevented the incurring of any cost in thepeti-tion, be refuses now toallow tbe factionist exchequertobe famishedoat of the resources of tbe National party. It is characteristic oftheRedmondite party that the day selected for the commencementof theproceedings was the day on which MrDavitt rendered oneofthe greatest services of his life to the cause of Ireland. At first itwas contemplated to putbailiffs into the little cottage at Ballybrack,whicha few friends of Mr Davitt presented to his wife after theirhappy marriage. The spectacle of Redmondite bailiffs in LnndLeague Cottage while Mr Davitt was fighting for Ireland at West-minster would, however, have been too damaging to the interests offaction, so the country wasspared it.

We Bee that the monstrous pretence is being set up by theBel-fast deputation to Mr Gladstone that he treated them unfairly,because he would not allow any replies to his answers to them. 1need not say that it would be absolutely unprecedented for a Minis-ter to enter into a debate with a deputation tbat waited tpon him.In fact as a rule itis not customary for a Minister to give such anexhaustive reply as Mr Gladstone did to the Belfast gentlemen.That is where the shoe pinches, In addition to that none of themwereable to reply to him eff-fcund, and it isa mere imposture topre-tend that such a reply could have been given. Seeing that ithastakenthem a couple of weeks todraft their reply, and that they havebeen compelled to call in the aid of Mr Lecky and other persons whowerenot on the deputationat all to assist them, tbe fact is self-evi-dent. The people over here now thoroughly understand the way ivwhich these Ulster deputations are worked up. They apparentlyconsist largely of the members of the samering deputating each timein adifferent capacity.

The weekly meeting of the council of the Society for the Preser-vation of the Irish language was heldon Tuesday, the 18th inst, atNo 6 Molesworth street, at 6 30 p.m., Rev Brother Swan, Superior ofthe Christian Schools, North K.chmond 6treet, in the chair. MrJeremiah Deane, Camp National School, Tralee, wrote

— "My prin-

cipal, Mr E. O'Sulhvan, and Istarted our first Irish chss in thisschool two years ago, and out of 25 pres-nted for examination thefirst year wehad 23 passes. Last month we haJ 34 examinations,but donot yet know theresult. We havea class of over 50 boys andgirls learning tha language at present." Mr James O'Brennun, ofInnishtrawar N.8., Bealadauga, wrote:— "My Irish class presentedfor examinationin June last did fairly, exactly thret-fourths passed.Ithink that the grammar part of the programme for the first jearshould be either curtailed or omitted altogether." Mr Henry Uixonforwarded a communication, withenclosures, dealing with the Welsh

Such achancemay never come again. It would be a goodbeginning. "For God'ssake," he pleaded," Give us the word.""Iwish Icould, Charlie," was the reply.

" 'Tis as yousay, arare chance— though in a very small way. ButImustobey ordersmyself. And this is positive," tbe speaker added, looking at theletter he held in his hand with an expression of intense sorrow,"Something mast have gone wrong,"he wenton.

"Get tbe boys to

That's the worstof it," was the reply"

There's a great spiritin the country. Icould not havebelieved that suchnumbers conld befound to face any odds if they only got the chance. Bat we wantparseverance, Charlie.""Well, I'll be off and do whatyou order

"said Charlie Flynn

gloomily. "But don't stay here more than tea or evenfive minutesunless you want to be arrested. The police," he added turning backfrom ihe kitchen door, " are just passing the bridge."" A.ll right, Charlie," waa the reply, "Goodnight. Ijust wantto burn these papers Do you think the doctor and his friend are inany danger,""No," said Charlie. " They're gone the other road;and they'dnever be suspected in any case. 'Twas a mercy we got tbat warning.Iwouldn't wish for anything that Mr— —was seenhere or the doctoreither. Lord!

"thought Charlie Flynn as he left the old farmhouse,"

what a sensation it wouldciuse if it was known tbat we had theson of a Protestant landlord and a professional man at the meeting.But, by St Bride of Kildare," he added,springing over the wall intothe orchard, "if we were only once in tne field, and after strikingone good blow that would show that we were determined todo ordie, we'd haveplenty of the descaaiants of tha Volunteers of '82wi h us, as well as young Mr

"" Is that Charlie Flynn ?

"Charlie s'arted as he heard those words in a woman's voice, and

looking towards the rustic seat, he was just able to distinguish afemale figure standing in the shade of oae of tha apple trees.

"Good heavens!' he exclaimed, as the speaker advanced intothe moonlight, " is it Miss Cormack ?

""Yes," Alice replied;"ItwasIbrought theletter. Ithought to

"Oh, not for the world, Charlie," Alice exclaimed,extending herband, as if she would have held him by force if he attempted to

It was rumoured in the lobby on Tuesday that when theHomeRule Bill gets in committee,an amendment will be moved from theTory benches proposing that the Irish members shall be retained forall purposes. This idea also finds considerable support on theLiberalbenches, and it is quite possible, though the Tories are oDly puttingforward tLe amendment &a a decoy, that it may be adopted. Thereis a good deal of force in the contention that while the land, thepolice, and the judiciary arc reserved, the Irishreprentatioo at West-minster shonld remain inuDdiminished strength.

FOR THE OLD LAND.

(By CHABLEB J. KICKHAM.)

Dublin Notes.{Weekly Freeman, April 22.)

Inview of the approaching civil war in Ulßter, it is a singularlysignificant fact that several Ulster Nationalists Members have re-ceived requests by letter from delegates to the ' great Unionistdemonstration at the Albert Hall" to get these said delegates ticketsof admission to the galleries of the House of Commons. This doesnot denote the existence of the irreconcileable frame of mind whichthe Orange spoutera represent aa filing the energies of the Uls'erUnionists.

The other right in theHouse of Commons Mr Healy seized theopportunity afforded by themotion to sanction the contract for theimproved Belfast mail service to preßs once more the claim of Wtx-ford on the Postmaster-General's consideration. The FinancialSecretary of the Treasury, inreply, asserted that owing to the Wex-ford line being a tingle line the mails could be expedited only byfromhalf to three-quartersof an hoar, and that for that improve-ment £2000 was too much to pay. This is the first time snch a casewas made by the Treasury, and Mr Healy expressed bis scepticismwith regard to the statement. We shall not be surprised to learnthat Sir John Hibbert has been misinformed. The claim of Wexfordto fair treatmentmast be satisfied.

A branch of the Irish Industries Association was opened onTuesday in Monaghan by the Dowager Lady Rossmore. It is un-doubted evidenceof the increasing interest in Irish industries thatbranches are spreading thus through the country,and they cannotfail todo a great dealof good. As Father M'Meel said at the open-ing ceremony on Tuesday, ithad been felt for a long time in Mona-ghan that a great want existed in the absence of any employmentfor girls who had completed their National Echool education. Tosupply this want the branch of the Industries Association baa beenformed. There are few towns in Ireland in which a similar warndoes not exist, and it would be an excellent thing if an attemptweremade to meetit inasimilar way. Then we should not have somany Irish gir's seekinga home beyoni the Atlantic.

Alice Connack's heartbeat quick as she stood there alone in theold orchard, wondering why Tom Dwyer remained se long in thefarmhouse, which, ina few minutes more, she knew would be sur-rounded by the police. Could it be possible that, notwithstandingCharlie Flynn's assurance to the contrary,be was not really awareofhis danger1 Wby ebould she hesitate torepeat the warningshe hadbefore given to the sentinel that stood outside the door— but who wasnowgone withallthe rest1 Hib liberty,his very life,was imperilled.

But, then, the foolish thought presenteditself—

thathe had goneaway withoutbidding her good-by

—that, perhaps,he never thought

of her or cared for her at all; and why should she force herself, as itwere,uponher attention ? Then memory brought back with strangevividness that look inTom Dwyer's dark eyes whenhe bent over heras she returned to consciousnessinShannaclough chapel-yard. Witha hurried step Alice glided over the soft grass, and opening thewooden gate ranacross the yard towards the partially open door ofthe old ivy-clad house;when,before she had come quite oppositethe door, to her amazement she saw it close, and heard the boltß

drawn inside. For an instant she stood still, quitebewildered, andnot knowing what todo or to think. Was he really ignorant of hisdanger ? Or couldit possibly be that he had taken the desperateresolution to barricade the old housa and holditsingle hand againstthe armed force, which she fancied wereeven nearer than they couldbe, for seconds seemed minutes toher since Julia Flynn told her thatTom Dwyer was at Corriglea.

She ran to the door and knocked withher kßuckles upon theweather-dried panel;butBhe listened in vain for any response. Shethen went to the parlour window,in which she had seen the light,and tappedupon one of the panes;all wassilenceinside." Tom," Bhe called out, 41itis I. Itis Alice Cormack. For Godsake, make ycur escape. The police will be here in aminute or two.Don'tbe amadman," ehe went on. "If you act like a desperadoyouwill only injure tbe cause you wish to serve. Iknew you arewithin," she pleaded, with her face close to the witdow," and Ibegof you for the sake of old times to do what Iask you. It wasIbrought you the letter end gave the warning that thepolice werecoming;and won't you leave me the eatirfaction of thinking that 1havedone something for you

— for you,'' Bhe added,her heart, as sheuttered tbe last word, ewellicg with an enthusiasm which broughtthe tears to her eyes. But the old bouse remained as eileLt as thetomb.

"Alice 1

"repeated a deep voice behindher. "AmIdreaming,or am 1mad 1

"

"Oh, Tom," &be broke out after a moment's listening, "Ineverthought you would treat me in this way. lam sure you hear me,''she went on. "Iam sure you know that it is AliceCoxmack who isspeaking toyou."

She turned round with a start of terror, which was scarcelyallayed by the sight if the biorzed face and the flowingdark beardthat met her gaze. But tbe eyes I—the1

—the eyes weie tbe same, and with

the same look io them that haunted her memory ever since thatSunday when ehe wascairied senseless out of the chapel."Oh, Ithought you had bolted the door inside," she said hur-riedly.

14 Yee, 'he replied;4l but 1got out of the bed-room window intothe orchard. Iwasnever so bewilderei as whenIheard you callingmy name.""Well, go," she said. " Let me be sure that you are safeGood-bye

—shake bands with me, Tom. Youmust not leave Corrig-

lea a second time as you did before."

She smiled aa she held out herhand, which Tom Dwyer claspedreverentially in his, as he said inachoking voice :—: —"Good-bye, Alice— and God bless you forever." He turnedaway,and had moved a pace or two towards tbe orchard gate, whenhe Btopped and said, "

But I can't leave you here alone—I must see yon home. How do Iknow but that some of tbeaemenmight insult you?""Oh, there is no danger of that," said Alice. "

I'll returnas Icame,by Poul-na-copel. You see whatuseIbavebeen able to makeof your secret,"she added,rrore cheerfully.

41I'll see you to the gate of the long meadow, at any rate," saidTom Dwyer. t4Ilittle thought five minutes ago we'd ever again caygood-bye at that gate." But tbe good-bye

—at least the particular

good-bye which Tom Dwyer so confidently counted upon at thatmoment— wasnever spoken.

They had crossed the farmyard and the road withoutspeaking.Heopened the wooden gate and Alice passedinto themeadow. Thenthe gate closed softly,and Tom Dwyer rested bis elbow upon the topbar. Alicegave himber slenderhand again;«*nd, as if impelled by

that look in tbe dark eyes to which allusion has been alreadymade,held her cheek towards him to be kissed.

Buta noise behind himcaused Tom Dwyer to torn quicklyround.Alice felt as if he had flung ber hand from him;and ina secondhehad drawn and fired his revolver. His hand, however, was struckup, and the bulletwhiziled through the elm tree above his head.Andas the power of seeing came back toher eyes— for objects for amoment seemed toblend and mingle, and then vanish from ber eight—Alice saw Tom Dwyer surrounded andoverpoweredby anumberof policemen, whose fixed bayonet? flashed brightly in themoonlight.

She was conscious that a short altercation had taken placebetween twoof the policemen,and then thepartymarched offquicklywith their prisoner. She was too stunned to fully realiße what hadoccurred, and with her foreheadresting against the gate, was tryingto recall her scattered senses, when she was startled by the sound ofa man's voiceon the opposite ride of the hedge."

Nemo mortalium" began the voice, '( asmy father-in-lawsays.Batmark my word, Finucan, you an' Ihave done the wise thing to-night instrictly obeyin'orders. An', vice versa, Stiggios has puthisfoot in it."

"He was too much afraid of an attack from the bonse or fromthe orchard," was the reply.

"AndIdon't want toconceal the factthatIfeeluncomfortable myself standinghere.""

On reaching Poul-na-Copel all fears on her ownaccount vanished. She could cross theriver as easily as if there wasa foot-bridge over tbe Pool of the Horse ;and there was the houseso near that she could see the lamp on the drawing-room tablethrough the still open window. But poor Tom DwyerI What wagtobe his fate ? Turning her eyes towards the mountain road Bbawas surprised, but not in the least alarmed, to see a man's figurecoming down the moonlit meadow directly to where she wasstand-ing, with the fleetness of a greyhound."

"without letting you know "

"Itis Tom I"

she cried out in wonder and delight. "Or, amImad or dreaming1

"14Ireally am not sure that Iam awake myself," returned Tom

Dwyer. "The tbing was so sudden and unexpected. But lat oncert-membered you, and thought I'dbe able toovertake you before youhad got across the river. So itis ac Poul-na-Copel the good-bye isto be said," he wenton with a sad 6mile "Good-bye, Alice" hesaid, takingher hand. "Ireally feel hopeful and in high spirits atthis moment. The boys are as full of courage and Eelf-sacrifice, andso cool and obedient to orders, too. After what Ihave seen with myown eyte during tbe past few wetkq, I'll never despair of Iceland.But let me tell you how it happened that Iam here, though fiveminutes ago IthoughtIwa* on tbe highroad to the gdlows or ihedungeon. Well, all Iknow is that when we cime to the hollownnder the grove Isaw the arms snatched, as if by magic, from thesix policemen. Immediately some one said, "

Oh, my darling Alice," he brokeout, carried away by his emotion, and pressing her bandagainst hisheart, which throbbed wildly and loudly enough to beheard, "Oh,will the day ever come whenIcan "

He stopped suddenly. There was a great splash in the waternear them, followed by a violent shaking of the boughs overhangingtheriver. They listened for a momeat;but soon all was silent asbefore."

It was one of Mr Armstrong's old enemiss—tbe otters," hesaid, laughing. "Farewell ! Andob, Alice," he continued,drawinga long breath, " wou't you sometimes think of me ? Don't quite for-get me."

Mr G.Leegave a reading of a humorous nature, andvocal and instrumental items wererenderedby several young ladies.Altogether a most pleasant evening was spent, and Father Smyth isto be congratulated for inaugurating such a society. This forces me-toreiterate whatIsaid ona former occasion regarding tbe necessityof forming a similar institution in Napier.

At Mass yesterday morning the Very Rev Father Grogan alluded tothe f*ct that a great many books of the Living B *sary Society werescatteredall over the parish. He appealed to (hose members whohad books to deliver them up as eooq as tbey had been read, so thatethers could have theusecf them.

The RevFather Carew preached in St Marj'a at second Massyesterday,and proceeded toHastings in tbe afternoon. It is somesixteen yeara since this priest was stationed in Napier. The revgentleman, in the course of bis remarks, brought vividly before thecongregation what wonld take placeon the last day, when we wouldall have to appear before the tribunal of God,from which there couldbe no appeal to a higher court. He alluded to the reign of QueenAnne,and gavea historic account of the great hardships Catholicsbad to suffer through their faith, not only in that reign but at allperiod?. The mH]irity of peoplehad joined together to prevent thesame of (Jbnst being taught in the schools. Men io all ages bedtried to destroy the teaching of God, and so numerous were tbey atthe present time that one might be filled with apprehension lest thefihurch shoali fall, but this was an impossibility, for Christ badpromised that the gatesof hell would neverprevailagainst it.

ofSan Clementeby the ItalianGovernment. Tbe Prince,it appears;who knowshis Borne thoroughly, was a personal friend of the lateprior, Father Maloney, and was much interested in tbe importantwoiks of excavation by which the existence of the two buriedbasilicas beneath the actual church were discovered. When theauthorities proposed abolishing tbe Irish monastery together withmanyother of tbe religious houses inBorne,H.B.H.wrotehimself toVictor Rmanuel,claiming that themonks of San Clemente wareinsome way under British protection and protesting against theirremoval. His appeal waseffectual, and tbeDominicans remain thehappy guardiansof the venerable Basilica.

Our readers will remember that last yeardifference of opinionkTosebetween tbe ecclesiasticalauthorities of the Cathedralof Trevesand tbeChurch of Argenteuil inFrauce. At each place they main-tained that they possessed tbe tnnic which ourLord woreon the dayof His Passion. Leo XIII. thereupon commissioned Mgr Goux tomake special investigations on tbe subject, and that prelatehas nowpublished an interesting report setting forth the opinion he hsiformed. Judging by historical documents, he is convinced of theauthenticity of theHoly Coat of Tr&ves. At the same time he doesnot maintain that the Argenteuil tonic is spurious On the contrary,itseems to be bis belief that both belonged to oar Lord, the Argeo*teuil relic being a vest and the other a coat. Like the garmentexhibitedat Treves the tunic preservedat Argenteuilis of onepiece,la shapeitis Baid tobe similar to tunics wornby tbe Copts daringthe first twocenturiesof theChristianera. About the shoulders andloins there aie large dark spots, and a carefulchemicalanalysis hasplacedit beyond doubt that they were caused by bloodstains. Theinquiry, whilst leaving the honour of Treves undiminished, willbe ofconsiderable service to Argenteuil.

Tbe supporters of the Italian Government are in the habit ofconstruing as treason the cry, "Hurrah for the Pope-King," whichisfrequently heard amongßt admirers of the Supreme Pdntiff. TbeBelgian Cabinet has just administered to King Humbert's friendsarebuke which should induce them to change their tune. Itappearsthat the Burgomaster of St Trond, in Belgium, by lustily shouting"Vive le Pape-Koi" during a demonstration in honour of thePope'sJubilee, gave grave offence to the present temporal rulers of Italy,and bis display of enthusiasm was the subject of an interpellationin tbe Chamber of Deputies. The following official note is tbe replyof tbe Belgian Government

— '"lv theory, 'Hurrah for the Pope,

tbeteis rothng contrary to the rights of the King of Italy, sineItaly itpelf, by tbe Law of Guarantees recognises the sovereignty o*tbe Pope. The very fact of having nuncios abr ad and ambassadorsat tbe Vatican establishes a privilege inherent in sovereignty. More*over,tbe Italian Government, on tte occasion of theHoly Father'sJubilee,recognise that sovereignty by permitting foreign deputationsto come and congratulatebis Holiness at tbe Vatican.

'The Pope*

King'does not at all mean the King of Italy." Itis refreshingto find such plainspeaking inan official communication. The Beer*naert Ministry known its own mind and can make it known toothers.

Tbe death of bis Eminence Cardinal Apolloni, is a severe loss totbe Sacred College, for tbe eminent Churchman was one of itsmost devoted members. The two following acts of heroism aie toldof him :— ln tbe year 1860, Cardinal Apolloni happened to bo atMacerata intbe quality of Apostolic Delegate when the Piedmontesetook possessionof the town. Tbe Cardinal not only remainedat hitpost, but offered such firm resis'aace, that they finally conductedhimto Turin by main force. The minister Cavour desired to see tbecourageous pre'ate-prisoner and was so struck with admiration andrespect for the Apostolic Delegate that he ordered his immediaterelease. When, in 1867, the cholera was ragingin Albano, tbe bishopof that city, Cardinal Altieri, caugbt it while assisting the victims,and just as the terror was at its height, Pope Pius IX. orderedMgr Apollonito go and tuke charge of the infected diocese. With*out amurmur or moment's hesitation bis Eminence obeyed, and biscourage,charity andself-abnegation in assisting all were such as towinhimuniversaladmiration. Ho wascreated cardinalon May 24th,1889. Tbe Requiem,service was celebrated at St Maria in Via, andwaslargely attended, Amongst those present were their EminencesCardinals Ledochowaki,Bianchi, Melchers, Bicci-Parraciani, Serafino

His Grace Archbishop O'Callaghan, formerly rector of theEnglish College, Borne. has latelybeen the victim of a cowardlyaesault in tbe streets of the EternalCity. Itappears he was ridinginan opencarriage, whenone of a gioupof loafersapproßchfd thevehicle and struck himheavily over the bead witha stick,accompany-ing tbe blow witb epithetsdirectedagainst tbe Catholics.

His Eminence Cardinal Logue waspresentedwith anaddrras onthe 13tb April by tbe Bishopsof Ulster, congratulating him on hiselevation to the Cardinalate. His Eminence,in replying,Baid hewasselected for that dignity by the Holy Fa1her as tbe representativeofthe IrishChurch, and he believed the ground of his selection wasthat he happenedto be placedin the old See of StPatrick.

His Eminence Cardinal Yanghan has presentedagold medal, inthe nameof the Pope, to Mr T. W. Allies, as a recognitionof theservices he has rendered to the Church by bis historical laboars.TheCardinal stated that his Holiness, in conversation witb him,hadreferred with tbe greatest pleasureto Mr Allies'publications. MrAllies briefly acknowledged the distinguished honour conferred onhim.

Aninteresting presentationwasmade tohis Holiness LeoXIII.in connection witb the Jubilee fites by M. Jeffroy, the eminentdirector of the Fiench School of Archaeology and History at Borne,Id.Guillaume.Mbedirector of the school of Fine Arts, on the part oftbe French Bepublic. It consistedof amagnificent copy of a uniquecollectionof engravings after French painters,knownas the"Chal-cographie da Louvre,"and tbe gift was offered to his Holinessin thename of tbe French Academy.

The Annee Dominicaine says :— Steps are now being takenfor the beatification of the Irish Dominicans pat to deathin tbereignof Elizabeth. At the beginning of that sanguinary reignthere were 6ix hundred religious of tbe Older of StDominic inIreland, and at the end of the same reign there iemained but four.Nearly all bad thed their blood for tbe faith. The names of onehundred and six of thesemartyrs are known, and their cause hasbeen introduced at Rome.

In tbe r^nks of Don Carlos during bis last campaign there wasnot abraver soldier than the Genera', tha Marquess of Segarra, whothifc week has proceeded to Rome and joined tbe TrappistOrder inthe "Chartreuse" of tbe Eternal City. He carries witbhim intothe solitude and austerity of the religious life tbe good wishes andblessings of many who fought side by side beneath his orders andunder tbe banner of their uncrowned king, whom tbe party fondlyBtyled Carlos VII, during a fratricidal campaign.

At a general assembly of tbe Koyal Scottish Academy heldrecently, Mr AlexanderBocbe, painter, was admitted to the rank ofassociate. MrBocbe, who was bora in Glasgow, receivtdbis educa-tion and tbe rudiments of his art under the Manst Brothers at StMango's Academy, Townbead. He spent some time inParis, andextended his knowledge to Continental art by judicious travel par-ticularly in Italy. His work has met with so much appreciationfrom Continental ariistß that he baa received the gold medal atMunich. Mr Bocbe is a regular exhibitor at all the big exhibitions,including Ibe Royal Academy and the Salon. His principal *oiksare"Shepherdess," " A Pastoral," and '' The Clyde Idyll," whichmay be said tobe bis biggest can»a°, and has now b.en sent to theSalon. His studio ie at Kirkintilloch.

S>ma Proles ants, with whom the wish was,no doub*, fathtr tothe thought, having circu'ated the rumour that Father Rivingtoowas about to abandon the Catholic Church, the rev gentleman hasgiven itan cmjh^tic contradiction in a letter from Borne to a Phila-delphia lady. He says :—":

— "lam so overwhelmed with work for a

week or two more that I am unable to do more in answerto roar letter than just acknowledge it, and refer yoa to tbeftust chapter of a little book whichIhave just brought out,called1Our separatedbrethren.' Yoa can tell tbepeople who disseminatesuch falsehoods concerningme, that Iam preparing various peoplefor tbe Church."

Lecturing on Borne the other night at the Homer-row schools,Father J. J.Brenao reminded bis Irish audiencethat it wasowing tothepersonalintervention of tbe H.B.H. thePrince of Wales that theJziibDominicans inBornebate npt been dispossessed of tbeBasilic

Tbe authorof the anie'eentitled"The Policy of thsPope," whichappearedin tha October Contemporary,has followed it up with apaper in the current issue of tbe same magasine. He deals chieflywith Father Brandi'i criticism, indulging in some sharp recrimina-tory remarks whichare blots upon a style that is usually clear, for-cible, and learned. Tbe amount of solid argument in this partof tbearticle is, however, slight. Tbe main contention in that tbe fact ofLeoXIII. cultivating cordial relations with Bussia whilst Catholicsare persecutedin that coudtry shows the disadvantage involved intbe Temporal Power and Papal diplomacy. But Father Brandi hasgiven an^answer. Leo XIII. has been ctrrying on lengthy nego-tiations with Bußsia. The writer in the Contemporary thinks this ispoor com'ort for tbe ill-used Catholics of Bussia. But be does notsay what more be would have the Pope do. His Holiness cannotorderan army into tbe field against tbe Czar. In tbe concludingportionof his article tbe writer strongly complains of whatappearsto ns to be a pnraly imaginary grievance. He maintains thatamongst Catholics Biblical investigations are discour ged. Itmaybe tbe rationalising German spirit is discouraged, bnt in no othersense can tbe wordsbe used. If be hadsaid thata sufficient stimuluswasnot given by men who, like himself, hava the power of movingmultitudes, we w>uld not have quarrelled with tbe phrase, but wewouldhave said that this was amatter in which writers of bis erudi-tion could render useful service to tbe Church. Far better would itbe that he should employ himself thus thanin what is, after a 1, littleelse but profitless carping.

DEATH OF FATHER COLERIDGE, S.J.

as "TbeLife and Letters of St Francis X*vier"

and "The Baptismof theKing." As a preachtr, too,he made his mark. Hit eloqaenoewas not of that splendid order which made the names of snob, menas Father Anderdonand Father Harper househould words amongstCatholics, and brokeupontbe ears of thousandsof Protestants,drawnby the magne'ism of its fame, tohold them, as it were,spellboundby the grandeur of its flaw and tbemagnificence of its period*. BatwhenFatherColeridge preached,bis culture and tbe refinementandpolish of bis sentences were irresistible attraction to allwho had culture or refinement to appeal to. Thepreacher applied bis great mental powers, like a search-light,to the subject his discourse was intended to elucidate. Possiblyit was his close application to study that hastened his death. Aboutthree years ago he sustained a stroke, from theeffects of whichhenever entirely recovered. From Farm street he then went to Boe-bampton, where he remained until the day of bis death. Here the;ripescholar and learned and prolific writer became as a child,untilhe passed away. His remains were conveyed to the family seat andinterred in the family grave on Wednesday,Father Sooles,8.J., ofBoehampton, officiating at the burial service. Tbe chief work ofFatherColeridge's life was that which he didat Farm streetas theorganiser anddirector of the literary labours of the Bnglibb Jesuits tHe never so entirely devotedhimself to workathis desk as not to beable to find time for preaching and hearing confessions, but for morethan twenty-fire yearsthe greater partof bis well-filledday wasgiventoeditorial and literary labonr. It is nearly thirty yearsago linoebe took over the editorship of the Month, which he made oneof themost importantCatholic reviewspublishedinour time. Besides this,he began tbe quarterly series of translations and original works, towhich behimself contributedmany volumes,and theseat onceamongtbe most popular and tbe moat valuable in tbe series. Itbegan withhis "Life and Letters of 8t Francis Xavier,"already mentioned, awork that has cal.ed forth the eulogies of evennon-Catholic critics,and whichmay be regarded as the standard life of tbe Apostleof theIndies. Then came a still greater work. For years he had beenstudying tbe Gospel and tbe great Christian commentators with aview of preparing a life of cur Lord for English-speaking Catholicreaders. His first step was the publication of his Latin harmony ofthe Gospels under tbe title of "Vita Vita* Nnstiw." This was laterpublishedin a single volume giving in English the text of ths Gospelsin four parallelcolumns. Still morewelcome was tbe edition in twovolumes, the work being enlarged to this extent by adding Intro*ductory chapters to each section of the life. Finally some twentyyears ago Father Coleridge began the actual writing of tbe detailedlife of our Lord, with the first volume on the public life. Hebeganwith that part as there were already so many Catholic works inEnglish leading with the sicred Infancy and the Paassion of OurLord. He wasalways impressed with the idea of the night being athandin which nomaa conld labour,and thaias he toiled at bis greatworkhe arranged ita partim that if at any time be werecalled awayby thd Master he thus stDva to honour, whatbe hadsofar completedwould be of help to bis ftfllow-Chthjlics. One by one (he volumesof the public lifefollowed each other Inone busy yearhe prodacadasmany as three. He used to lay that it would be a great favour tobe spared long enough tofinish it all, and this was granted tohim.His life of Our Lord will be an enduring monument to its author. Itis in many ways the most important workproduced by aCatholicpen in England since tbe Beformation. But all this was only oneaspect of hi? literary ac'ivity. To write even a list of the book*,pamphlets, sermons, and articles he produced would fill morespacethhn our crowdei columns can afford. Bnt, more than this, heencouraged, guided, and organised the work of others. Ho wasespecially helpful to the younger members of the Society of Jesas inEngland who showed abent toa literary career. Some daylateron,when Father Coleridge's life is written, tbe Catholic body will learnhow much it owesindirectly to him in this way. Inconnection withthe literary work carried on at Farm street, ho organiseda valuablelibrary for the useof the writers, and gradually gatheredround hima bandof helpers,many of whose namesarenow familiar to Catholicreaders inall English-speaking lands.

—RI.P.

(Liverpool Catholic Titnet, April 21.)Thebe passedaway at (behouse of tbe Jesuits at Bjehampton,onthe I3thinst., a distingaiahed member of the Society of Jesus, Onthat day Heary Coleridge, wholeaves behind him a high reputationas a scholar, departed this life at the age of seventy years, He wasin many respects a remarkable man. la any other sphere than thatof thehumble priestpledged topoverty andobadience he would haveachievedwhat the world regards as a desirable position and becomewhat the world also regirda as a leader amongst men, Hewasof anotable btock, the poet Ouleridge having given lustre to thefamily name. If his socul positionhai njt be-m merged, us amem-ber of the Jesuit Order, that lustre ahna would have placed him intbe frontrank of men who derive their claims to notice from thebehestsof the society. Bat his was nit distinction borrowed fromsocial status,pedigree, or tbe prideof birth, Itmight havebeen s-udof him thathe was notning unless he was a priest. Butunder thegarb of theJesuit there was a great scholar, whose store of learningbecame dailygreater because benever ceased to bia stulent. It wasas a scholar and a student that he wasbest known outside his Order.Perhaps without disparaging his piety and generally lovablenatureit may be recorded that it wasas a echo ar and a itudent thit be wasmoat appreciatedby those who knew bim best

—tbe Society that re-

ceivedhim as a convert, and in which be found bis borne for thirty-six years. Father Coleridge was the younger son of the late BightHon Sir John Taylor Coleridge, of Heaths Court, Ottery 8t Mary,Devonshire, by Mary, eldest daughter of the late Bey GilbertBuchanan, LL.D., Vicar of Wood Manstero, and Bector of NorthFleet. His elder brother is Lord Chief Justice Coleridge, He waseducatedat Eton,andpassedthence to Trinity College,Oxford, wherebe graduated, and took Ordersin tbe Church of tngland, but as faras wecan ascertain he never got beyond a deacon in the Establish-ment. Tbe true light came, and at thirty-five years of age—in 1857

—he was receivedinto the Society of Jesus, andproceeded

to Beaumont College for his noviciate. Passing from there to 8tBeuno's, North Wales, he became oneof the professors. After spend-ing two or three years there be went to Farm street, where heremained twenty-fiveyears. He was a prolific writer, andamongstthenamesof themasters of literature, in which the Jesuit Order hasbeen so rich, that of Father Coleridge will be placed high upon tbescroll. He edited " The Quarterly Series," wbicb comprises overeighty volumes onreligious subjects, including such wotksof his own

Itis rumoured that several of thepatrician families, who leanttowards the Powers that be, are now openly heard to desire thereturnof tbe TemporalPower for the sake of Rome and the Romans.

Itis reportedfrom France that at Lorient,on the Bay of Biscay,70 persons havedied within a fortnight of Asiatic cholera. There isreason tobelieve that the cold of last winter, severe as it was inmostpartsof Europe,did notkill out thngerms of the plague.

The Westminster Gazette gives details rather entertaining as tohow the Irish family whose beadis Lord Ranfurly was rewarded forhis seal in promotingtheUnion. First and last itmust havebenefitedfinancially to the extent of about £1,000,000. But the Ranfurlyfamily, though it undoubtedly obtained more in the way of hardcash thanany other familybut that of Waterford, was only oneofmany who foundin the Union a means, so to say,of making them-selves. Daring tbe 18 years immediately preceding 1801

—the 18

years that tbeUnion was a-making—

the Irishpeeragehad added toitover a hundrednew names, or in other words, was increased byabout two-thirds, and during tbe year1800 alone it had added to it27new names. All these were made Peers merely that they mightvote in favour of the Union. Moreover, some 50 members of theIrishHouse of Commons were rewarded eitber in tbe same year withIrish or withBritish baronetcies, or in1801-2withpeerages. 8i thatthe British Peerage and Baronetage owes more to the Irish Unionthan to the Norman Conquest.

Our esteemed Protestant contemporary,the Independent, is asteady andconsistent friend of Irish Home Rule. Ithas naturallynosympathy with the Orangemenand their backers, to whom it thuspays itsrespects :— "The hysterics of the opponents ofHome Rule intheNorth of Ireland are very amusing, and possibly pardonable,con-sidering thepassions that have therebeen aroused. But when theLondon Spectator publishesacoli-bloodei editorial, saying that therebellion wouldnot beunjustifiable and proceeds toshow how acivilwar might be carried on, and how even Germans and Americansmight help the rebels, itapproaches very near to inciting treason.It is adisgraceful exhibitionof party temper."— BostonPilot.

He had the phonographplacedbefore him and explained the details to those around him.He told them that the late Cardinal Manning had cc ithim a bduti-fulmessage andcaused itto be repeatedby the ios rument, andpaid,"This does, indeed, revolutionise the art of writing, since everyinflection of the voice, everysyllable and word recorded, can be pentwithsuch wonderfulexactitude."

And bending over the phonograph he spoke in it.Then, turning toMr M riarty, he said : "Ihand you thismessage,guard itcarefully, for itis the expressionof mylove for all thepeopleof the Dnited Stales, andIwish yon to deliver it with your ownhand to the President." Mr Moriarty assured his Holiness thathewould guard it untilhe gave it to the President as the most sacredmessage ever entrusted tohim. The Pope expressedgreat interestia the ChicagoExhibition,and «sked many questionsconcerning thearrangements. Themessage to thePresident and to thepeople ofthe United States is inLatin, and by the Pope'sspecialrequest willnot be published before ithas been reproduced inAmerica. Beforethe conclusion of the audience, themessage was reproduced by thePope* desire, and, uponhearing it,he said :— "Itis my voioe, myvery voioe; tbis is indeed wonderful." He then explained to themembers ofhis court that his voice wonld be beard long after hisdeath. The attendants then left the roomandhis Holiness oooversedfor twentyminuteswith Mr Moriarty in private.

THINGS TO REMEMBERBY.If a great fortune wereunexpectedly left me (and it wouldhe un.expected)I'llwager anything thatIshould never forget the timeorplace whereIfirst heardof it. Orif Ishould go home to-night andfind (which God forbid) ayhouse burned up, and everything in it,I'm equally certain that the main circumstanoes connected with theevent would stick in my memoryuntil all thePast's pictures fadeout in the lightof the life that is tobe, 'Twould be the same withyou,Ifancyf Yes.

And here comesa woman who willnot soon forget the month ofDecember,1890. It is not becauseOhristmascomes in that month,for it is what she lost, not what was given her, that makes thatparticular time stand oatabove other times. And what she lost washer health, amatter worth talkingabout, as onenever can tell whenhe may be more interested in that subject than in politic! or thepriceof provisions.

Bne saysher illnessbegan withnausea. Shecould keep nothingon her stomach, and threw up whatshe calls "a dirty green fluid."Now this dirty green fluiditnot a thing to be disgusted at but to bestudied and understood. Itis bile, and bile is one of the mostimportant agents inthe getting rid of the contents of the bowels.Itoils theway,so to speak,and hslps to make themass of stuff insidetheremoreliquidand easily moved. Tne liver gets itfrom theblood,and when our machinery is all right we don't know there is such a'thing in ourbodies. But when the liver is torpid and lacy, then thebile stays in the blood and prisons us all over. Itmakes the headache, the skin yellow anddry, and finally is expelledfrom themouthas tbis womansays, Nature can't use it the right way,so she throwsit overboard thebest way shecan, which is a badand sickening wayindeed.

Our lady friend goes on tomention thather tongue was coveredwith thick slime, her appetite waspoor,she bada foul tastein themouth, and what she ate gaveher great pain in the chest and back.All these symptoms weresigns of one trouble,and liable to do animmense amount of mischief, just asa wildanimal loose in thestreetsmay do a variety of mischief before he is captured andshut up again."Ifelt cold chills alloverme," she says. "" and wouldsit overthe'fire for hours, for Ifelt so chilledand starved. Ilost adeal of sleepat night, and oftenbad toget up and walk about ths floor.

This wasa miserableBtate tobe in,andnobody everexperiencedit without looking back to it with horror and dismay. That is, if heever got over it;for somenever do. They get worseandworse,untilthe doc'ors shake their heads, and old friends wipe theirspecs andthink about certain funerals that are going to come off belore long.Forthis disease is the essence and substance of almost all the rest,'no matter what names they are called by. It scatters death withboth hands, and fills youso full of painand misery— mind and body—

that yousoondon't care much whether youlive ornot.Well, let us hear more from our friend. "*Ihadso much pain *

shesays, "that it took all the power out of my body. At times mybreathing almost stopped. 1wouldgasp for breath, and for hoursIwas in agony. After any simple foodIwas so badIbad to lieonthecouch, andone night 1thoughtIwasdying."Last April my husband persuaded me to try Mother Seigel'iSyrup, that had cared him of liver complaint. Igot a bottle fromMr Jack, in High street,andin a few days felt easier,andafter tak-ing threebottles more1was completely cured,and hay« had no painsiDce. /neverfelt better thanIdonow,

September 17th, 1891."We congratulate Mrs McEwan on her recovery,and there arethousands wbo will do the same. Four months of acute indigestion

and dyspepsia ia enough, though many suffer for years because theyeitber never hears of,or won't use,the remedy that curedher. Andto enlighten, them she wants us to publisb this Jittle history. Nowshe will rememberApril as well asDecember.

The Paris Figaro announces that Cardinal Vtughan beforetaking Holy Orders wasan officer in the army. Tbis is not so. HisEminence was neverin the army. His parents intendedhim for thearmy,but he never became a soldier. Cardinal Vaughnn's bent ofmind from bis childhood was for the Church, and to the Cbareb,almost from his cradle, he belonged. The Figaro is evidently con-fusing the late Cardinal Howard with our present Cardinal-Archbishop. CardinalHoward began life in the Horse Guards.

It is interesting tonote thatthe memorial church to the lateEmperor Wilhelm of Germany was began andcarried on largely bythe contributions of" Hebrew bank«r of Berlin,B iron von Bleich-roeder. Upon the recent death of the Baron, the work was temp-orarily abandonedfor lack of funds, his heirs notcaring tocontinuehis generous work of honouring a family whose scions delight topersecnteandostracise the people of his raceand religion.— Pilot.

Conqnes, apicturesquevalley in the departmentof the Aveyron,has just been drawing numerous spectators to witness its PassionPlay. Many who went as sight-seers left as religions pilgrims. Itwas arevivalof themysttry-plavs of the MiddleAges,and took placewithin the oldchurch of Cooquee",dating from the12thcentury. Itseems that simple faithand religions training on the part of thepeasantactorsenabled them toattain the highest effects of dramaticart.

Owing to thepersecutionof the Franciscans inMexico they artseeking other missionary fields, and taming their eyes to themissionsof California, which they established after the expulsion of theJesuits. Preparations are being made for the celebration of thefounding of theFranoisctn Order incommemoration of the restora-tion of themissions and of the retura of the friars to their formerterritory. The celebration will take place at the oldmission of BanLuis Bey,on August 12th. The Order was foundedon that day in1209.
