rs There is an exotic professor of mendacity

Masters. He edits an Irish paper called the
Freeman's Journal, which we believe is also
quasi or quackishly religious paper. This Me-
Masters charged Col. Fremont with being Ca
tholic, (bsing himself of the same persuaslon,)
and intmated that Archbishop Hughes would.
back up the statement. Upon this, the Arch
bishop, having the common feelings of gentle
man. published q card, which we have printed,
in which he says that he knows nothing about
the matter. This, one would think quite salts
factory; But the Protestant Saints who direct
the de,tinies OF the New York Express, are not
satisfied. Both the Brookses wag their heads
distrusttully and in concert, and triumphantly
point out the fact that the Archbishop does not
say that Col Fremont is not a Catholic. Neither
for that matter, does lie say that Col. Fremont
is not Mormon, or follower of'Joanm South

simply says he is not informed upon the subject.

CHILD STEALING IN NEW YoRK.--It may sur
prise many of our readers to learn that from 30
to 40 children are stolen every year in New
York from their parents, and never heard of
more. Yet such is the fact. In our advertising
columns to-day will be found one of these cases,
and curious oneitis. The sister Of Mr.. DANES
McGangh brings her child to her brothers in
Centre street, to spend the day with him. In
the evening she dressed the child to go houie,
but while her back was turned the child ran out
Of the door and into the street The mother
missed the child and went after it Immediately,
but though two days had passed, up to last
night no child had been found, though the Aims
House and every State House in the City had
been searched 10 find it. On the 10th of this
month, a boy FIVE years of age, named John
Joyce, was lost, but the brother has not yet sue
cceded in finding him, and at the Chiefs Office,
in the Park, will be heard many similar stories.
The child is lost, search is made by the parents /;
days, weeks, months pass, but no tdings eff their
little ones are ever heard. At last the search is
given over, and the matter is forgotten until a
similar calamity brings anguish into another IA
mily. The mystery Is, what is done with the
children? 1t may be that they are brought up
as thieves, or perhaps sold to some religious
sect that proselyte in this way. Something
ought to be done to preservethe children and
save parents the anguish of losing them.-[N.
