An extraordinary memorial has been al
dressed by 50l Austrian priests to the Con-
cordat. the Cardinal Prince Archbishop Of
Vienna. In this document, the lower Cath
Ollie clergy put forth their grievances in Ian
guagc the like Of which has not been heard
since the days Of the Reformation. The
memorial begins with u rough onslaught on
the absolntlstc prcrogatIycs OF the epls
copncy. This Concorda,,' it says, has
conferred upon the bishops many new privi-
lcges and u large increase Of power: hut the
priest has to bear the whole odum OF the
Indignation and Of the moral resistance
which the hated Convention has created
among the people" There is no doubt"
the document continues IN subsequent par
agraph, but that our religion has become
the object o, universal derisIon. The Con-
cordat has aroused the wrath Of the most
moderate men with respect TO the antiqnat
cd, medlaya ordinances of the Church and
the Indignation against the executors Of
thosc ordinances becomes louder and more
universal from day TO day. This sentiment
Is the more dangerous as it spreads among
the main body Of the people. The memo
rial complains of the wrctcbcd pay some
times lcss than that OF cab driverl of the
lower clergy, in consequence OF which they
are driven 10 the collection Of Ices and taxes
which are the source Of the most dlsgracelul
and disgusting conflicts with the people.
Religion is thus made to appear IN the light
Of an ln>uiitrable burden. and agitators in.
crease the Ill feeling by directing attention.
not to the penury OF the lower clergy. but TO
the luxury and abund incc in which the
bishops arr revealing. Ia the mex, place the
petitioners lay bare the laziness Of Monk
hood and demand the abolition Of these beg
ging orders and the appropriation OF their
revenues 10 the maintenance OF the really
working priests.
\ more important demand follows. 1t is
Tor the abolition of celIbacy. on the ground
that the mposslbillty OF entering into the
married state renders the priest the victim
OF suspicious, OF sneering and contempt, and
produces laNity among the clergy, thus ren.
dcrng them Contributors 10 the moral disso.
luton which is invading even the popular
classes. In CONCLUSION. the petitioners de
mand that &" such reforms should he intro
ducei a. 10 make the lower clergy no longer
appear in the odlous light Of oppressors OF
the poorer classes and that the priests, by
the abolition Of the law of csllbacy, should
bc restored TO the common ties OF family and
humanity II this is no, done" they assert
"all eur inilaenW will disappear the Cath
Ole religion will be despised, hierarchy be
totally oyerthrowu and the state bccoms the
football of ecascltss attacks aud ccmplca
tons" They express, too, the significant
hope that they may not be driven to expect
their safety IRON the revolutionary party,

CRCEL TREATMENT OF A WHITE SLAVE

about four miles this side OF Fulton, went

tanned little girl, named Mary Bennett,
about ten years Of age, whom she said she
wished to bring up. The matron told her
that the girl was addicted to fibbing. and
had been caught in attempts to appropriate
things that did not belong to her. The wo-
man guessed she would get along with her.
She took the girl and last week brought her
back. The girl was thin and emaciated,
and according to the woman orn story had
received the most cruel treatment.
For the slightest offence she would whip
her in the most severe manner, and if this
failed to make her cry, she would place the
little girls finger on the stove and hold it
there until il was crisped ard burnt, and
the child would cry. AT other times this
human tigresS would seize her by the car
tilage Of the nose, between the nostrils, and
pinch her in the most cruel manner, and
that, to use the old hays own words,
would bring the tears into her eyes : and
when the girl returned to the Asylum the
marks were still there, and her fingers all
crisped and burned. She gave her but half
enough to eat, and when one day she put u
tin OF apples into the oven, telling the girl
she might have one if she would watch them
until they were done, the girl devoured the
whole of them.
When the woman came back and asked
her what she had done with the apples, the
girl told her she had eat them. She then
gave her a cruel whipping, burnt her fin.
gers, and otherwise maltreated her, and this
not being enough to satisfy her, actually
kept her on nothing but bread and water
for two weeks, making her eat in the shed
and sleep on the floor. The woman had
two or three boys, who always gave her a
slap or a kick whenever she came near
them. This is the womans own story. The
ladies at the Asylum represent the girl as
being very smart, active and intelligent.
Such brutality should not pass unnotced,
and she should receive lesson that will in
culcate little humanity in her miserable
soul.-Osrsgo Palladium.
