ABUSING THE 1RIsH.-It is very well
known that at certain times the utilization
OF the Irish becomes almost mania among
particular parties and persons. When inter-
est or the exigencies of the times make q re-
verse policy necessary, these same people
bespatter the Irish with the most fuIsome
tiattery. The English press give frequent
texts, which their compeers of q like way
of thinking on this side are not slow in
making the basis of most disparaging COM
ments. The New York Commercial Adrer-
tiser thus justly remarks on the prevalent
disposition:
About every outrage perpetrated against
persons or proper in Great Britain has
been charged to some Fenian miscreant.
The other day came flashing over the cable
a dispatch that some fiendish Fenian had
attempted to take the life of Queen Victoria
at Lucerne, in Switzerland. Immediately,
the press in England and America took MP
the cry and vented their indignation on the
Fenians iii particular and the +" Ignorant
and misguided Irish a." in general. Tie anti
Irish press in this country and in Canada
made this reported attempt at assassination
OF the Queen the pretext to speak very
unbecomingly and very harshly of our
adopted fellow citizens of Irish birth. Our
own journalists, not long since, INDUCED in
very severe structures upon the Irish in
regard to what is known as the "Scully
outrage" denouncing it as an unparalleled
outrage against CLAW and order" 1t is
true, it was an outrage, but not an Sum
paralleled :" one. The history of feudal
lands in this State is filled with "outragesn
more shocking and revolving. The I" anti
rent wars" in the counties of Delaware,
Scholtarie, bia, Albany, and Rensse-
laer, were marked with blood and crime
more shocking than the "Scully outrage"
We reprobate all these "outrages :" as
sternly the most intensely anti-Irish
press, but we protest against this Wholesale
abuse of Irishmen and Ireland, based on
the rumor of some mischievous penny-a-
liner here or elsewhere. 1t is not only
unbecoming respectable journalism, but
disgraceful to the press. We have the
official intelligence from the Foreign Office
ut Lucernc, Switzerland, that it was an
INSANE Englishman, and not an insane
frishman, who made the attempt to enter
Queen Victoria apartments. The British
lion will snooze more comfortably after
this, We hope.

A petition has been sent to the Chambers
from sixteen poor nuns who are in a con-
vent in Sicily with those depending upon
them. They say they had a property which
the government sequestered-it yielded
f357 per annam-in exchange for which
they receive each Of them a pension of Ave
pence per day, or only ELY per year paid
in paper, to provide for the whole house
hold, on which they are starving.
The Unita Cattolica says From the 9Th
Of August may be dated, not the ruin of the
Italian tinances-because they have been in
a bad way for a long time-but their more
rapid ruin, for it is certain that this new
government, approved on that day, will
bring us nearer to bankruptcy, which some
fear, others hope for, and all of us see is,
evidently, inevitable"
THE CATHOLIC CHARITY OF FRANCE
The Catholic Mirror says that the Cardinal
Archbishop of Rouen has transmitted to
Algeria the sum of sixty thousand francs,
the result of gifts and collections in favor
of the famine stricken natives of that colo
ny. The amount was equally divided be-
tween the three Bishops of Algeria. From
the journal in which we find the above, we
also learn that the clergy of the parish of
st. Bernard, in Paris, have reopened the
subscription of FIVE hundred francs for the
support of POntifcal Zouave. What noble
examples for the Catholics of Christendom!

scIENTR1C AND MEoHAN1cA1..

WOODEN PARAsOLs.-The wooden para
soils which were introduced extensively in
the French capital, and will likely find
patrons in other fashionable centres, may
thus be described: They are painted to
represent peacocks feathers, each feather
By ingenious mechanism they can be fas-
tened into the form of parasol, and can
also be folded up into as small q compass
as q fan, which purpose they answer ad-
mirably. They can also be turned into n
variety OF things, and have joints by which
they shade the wearer on any side where
the sun is too powerful.
Mock SUN AND MRAGE.-About this
time last year, o mock sun was visible from
Dover This is q very rare phenomenon,
and results from a reflection from clouds il,
the Eastern horizon of the setting sun in
the West, there, apparently, being two
suns in the heavens at the same time. The
atmosphere OF the straits of Dover seems to
produce these strange appearances in the
sky, for mirage was lately strikingly con-
spicuous at Dover. The dome of the Ca
thedral and Napoleon's Pillar at Boulogne
were to be seen from the Crescent Walk
by the naked eye but with telescope of
ordinary power, the entrance of the port,
its lighthouse, it's . shipping, and the sur
of Capecure, and the little fishing village
of Portel were distinctly visible; while, on
the Eastern side, the principal features of
the country. the lighthouse of Cape Grinez,
tire adjacent windmill, numerous farms and
villages, with their windows illuminated
by the setting sun, stood out with extraor-
binary clearness. While these were under
observation, q locomotive was seen to leave
BOulOgne and travel some miles in the
Calais direction, by its puffs and wrcaths
of white steam. Shortly after sunset the
mirage subsidized.
SENSITIVE PLANrs.-M. Bert and NJ. de
Blondeau have published, in the Complies
Rendus, some very interesting observa
tions on this subject. M. Bert shows that
the natural and regular movements of the
leaves, which take place in the sensitive
plant, are produced from q different cause
from that to which the sudden contraction
is due when the plant is touched by the
fingers. M. de Blondeau's observations
are exceedingly curious and we'll worth
further examination. He submitted three
plants to the influence of an electric cur
rent from Ruhmkorff coil. The first he
acted on for five minutes; when left to
itself, the plant seemed FRUSTRATED, but
after q quarter of an hour the leaves
opened and it seemed to recover itself
The second specimen was acted on for ten
minutes. The plant was FRUSTRATED for m
hour, after which it slowly recovered. The
third specimen was galvanized for twenty
five minutes, but it never recovered; and
in twenty -four hours it had the appearance
of q plant struck with lightning. A fourth
plant was etherized and then exposed to
the current. Strange to say, the latter had
not any efect-the leaves remained straight
and open-thus proving, says M. dc Blon-
din, that the mode of the contraction of the
way allied to the muscular contraction of
animals.

ADULTERAT1oN OF BREAD.-Eescss of
Atum.-The following particulars will en-
aote the purchaser to distinguish q loaf
That does not contain alum from one which
does: Alum increases the Wilderness and
nfmhess OF the bread made from inferior
Hour, and thereby causes it to resemble
brcaa made from the very best flour. The
Qualities which alum imparts to a loaf are
very unlmpOrtant, having reference merely
to the appearance, 'lightness,' neatness Of
shape, etc. The chemical action of alum on
moistened flour is analogous to tanning,
and destroys, in a considerable degree, it's
nntritivencss. 1t converts the gluten {the
most nutritious portion) of the flour into q
kind of tough, tenacious wash leather
which is difficult of digestion. This gives
the dough tenacity and firmness, enabling
1T to retain the thousand of little air bub--
bles (given off by the yeast) which consti-
tute the 'lightness' or spongy porous
character of the bread. Hence, flour that
will not RISE may be made to do so by
means of alum. Another object in the use
of alum is, that it preserves the upright
form of the lOaves, and prevents them from
adhering firmly together, thereby enabling
the baker to separate them more readily on
their removal from the oven-the batch
tearing it. An unalumed loaf is with a
little practice, distinguishable from an
alumed one by its appearance alone. 1t is
not SO bulky nor so symmetrical in it's shape;
its sides are rOughened and torn in being
separated from the batcls. Unalumed bread
'bites Short alumed bread bites though: >
and the rough, sour taste of alum is slightly
perceptibie in it. The most marked con-
trast, however, is apparent in scrumbline'
when day or two old (; unalumed bread
crumbles with the greatest facility by rub
bling it between the hands; whereas alumed
bread, however old, crumbles with diff
Guilty. In the same way alum renders the
new loaf less liable to crumble when cut"

A right education is not merely the
reading of many books, but the ability of
making knowledge useful to ourselves and
others. 1t is not simply to acquire influence
over our fellow creatures, but to make that
influence subservient to moral excellence
and piety.

Thought engenders thought. Place one
idea on paper, and another will follow it,
and still another, until you have written a
page. You cannot fathom your mind.
There is a well of thought there which
has no bottom; the more you draw
from it, the more clear and fruitful it will be.

MEETING OF TIE CRY CoUNCIL.-~
Tie new City Council met on Monday evening
Mayor Beckman read very abIessan.d interest
ing inaugural address. The vote reducing the
salary Of Treasurer to 5000 per aunnn was re-
considered and increased as heretofore to $500.
The Cfty Council made a wise move IN IN
ereasirg city licenses from SIC to $25. Last
wear there were 10 licenses issued within the
civ limits and we think the-license still too
low. The City Treasury should be largely re-
plenishcd by money paid for licenses, and we
wousd not consider it unwise to place the Ii
censc at $50. In either event the same amount
of lager and other beverages would be con
sumed and it would have more healthy ei-
feet on our treasury department.
There was considerable sparring as usual,
on bond matters, and VI e hardly think that Old
Shylock himself was any more troubled or
pernlexed about his bond, than are our city
Fathers in regard to ours. We think large
number of our citizens are prepared to rally
under the banner Of compromise and OF
course there are some who are open repudia-
tors. We do not pretend to offer any solution
of the difficulty They oil intend, doubtessly'
to fight it out on their respective lines III 1t

The REEserabEes

Of tbs bright and cheerful seor1d are the Dyspep-
tics.
Without good digestion there can neither
be bodily comfort nor mental enjoyment.
Between the stomach and the brain there is
q close and wonderful alliance. If the one is
disordered the other is gloomy, detected, incap-
able Of effort, and Indifferent to all that makes
life agreeable to the healthy.
Is this condition that any rational human
being is willing to endure, when the means of
certain immediate and permanent relief can
be obtained everywhere?
The Dyspeptic has his fate in his own hands.
If he choose to Danish forever the disorder that
racks his body and disturbs the mind with
name!ess horrors, he has only to step to the
nearest drug store sand procure supply HOS
LETTERS STOMACH BITTERS.
No phase of Dyspepsia has ever YET resisted
the Alternative, tonic and anti-bilious operation
of this patent vegetable specific. It literally
regenerates the lethargic stomach; rouses into
healthy action the dormant liver; puts to
fight the dismal fancies that beset the mind
gently relieves and regulates the bowels ;
strengthens the enfeebled nerves; restores the
appetite, and makes, as 1t were new creature
OF the Responding and debilitated invalid.
Ladies who suffer from indigestion have on
ly to take small dose of this pure vegetable
corrective, once or twice a day, to secure en-
tire exemption from the pains and penalties Of
q weak stomach and that perfect functional re-
gular;ty which but few of the sex unnteuupt-
eddy enjoy.

t,,cat Reduction of Fare via the Michigan

We call the attention of our readers to the an
nouucement of a great reduction OF fare from
Chicago to New York and Boston, ca Michigan
Southern and Lake Shore Railroads. In the
present instance, as has hitherto been the case,
this line is the first to give its patrons the oene
fiji of the very lowest rates, while Its accommo-
daiions remain such as to entitle it to the first
choice.
Three trains pass over the route daily each
wav between Chicago and New York. These
all make close connections at Toledo, Dunkrk
and Bufalo-there being 10 ferres-transfers
being made in uniou depots, and the trains,
which are links in a through line, accommodate
ting themselves to one another. The highest

LARGE Noses VS.. SMALL 0NEs.-A
good story is told of a gentleman with very
large probosis travelling in the cars not long
since. On the same train there happened to
be an individual who was afflicted in just the
opposite direction, his nasal organ being re-
markably small. Approaching the large nosed
individual, he asked him how he happened to
have such large nose. The gentleman re-
piled, ~ have always kept my nose ont Of
other peoples business, and consequently it
has had plenty Of opportunity to grow" We
knov of great many Individuals who have
large noses, that, according to this mans the

moral to this little story which need not be
