JoH mitchell UPON THE CATHOLIC Press.
The Citizen John MitchePs paper. last
week had the following '~frst-rate notice Of
the Roman Catholic Press of this country
and Ireland
OF all the sorrowful sisterhood of Europe,
she from whose womb we came, is the least
thought of, the least pitied, the least reveren-
ced. In this country-in this generous and
magnificent republic, to the building up of
treasure OF uT6od anu InuSolc; -Sb0~snGcTrsJb
and heart-there must surely be- substan-
tial reason for all this. Upon the Roman
Catholic Press, here and in Ireland we charge
this business. They, by their Infamous and
cruel writing, have made Ireland, here and
elsewhere, a parable Of reproach-have strip
ped her of many honors-have turned away
from her those generous streams of love and
hope, which were heretofore flowing to her
feet from every heart which Godhad touched.
This Roman Catholic Press-thls base
Press-especially in America, has scandal
ously misrepresented, caricatured, deceived,
falsifed and dishonored that noble historic
land OF ours has swindled, traduced, brought
shame, derision and the bitterest distrust
upon the generous race who cling to its
traditions and hopes has flung the toulest
insults on the graves and memories with
which our soil and history have been illumi-
mated and enriched has interpOsed It's treach-
erous influences between our people and
the terrible enemy which hugs them to death,
and robs them when they are dead has
given gratuitously and copiously every as.
!, ~sistance to that government, and every other
government, which establishsShel on earth
, and now, as an inevitable consequence of all
r this, has originated, provoked, emboldened
n almost justified this terrible conspiracy, which
arms against, votes against, and may yet
enact the severest laws against, the Irish
e people in this republic.

IS The CLERKS WIFE.-A merchants clerk,
IS of the Rue Hauteville recently married. His
TO master had a niece of Spanish birth, an orphan.
l. She was not pretty, though very sensible and
we'll Informed. At the balls last winter, little
al or no attention was paid to her; indeed she
,r seemed to attend them rather asa within than
70 from inclination or amusement, as she seldom
or ever danced. But if she did not dance, she
at noticed much and listened more. The clerk
soon observed that the lady was only invited
nd to dance when no other partner could be OBJ
tained. She herself had already noticed the
pw same fact. Being a gallant man, he acted ac-
90 cordingly. The incident that led to the de-
nouement, may be easily OWNED. In six weeks
=. after his first dance with the fair Spaniard, he
III obtained her permission to ask her uncle for heI
In' hand in marriage. He, astonished, gave his
..1 clerks proposal a very cool reception, and theT
icn had a long interview with his niece. Finally,
however, all was arranged, aud the lovers were
'uu married on Tuesday. Thursday after, a
breakfast, Adeline said to her husband, wh'
exhibited considerable chagrin at being com
