That Won't Satiefy 1Rem."-The most preva.
lent remark made just now by many OF. the
the Church Establishment will net satisfy the
people. "When they obtain that" they say,
they will ask for more" And why mott As
Mr.. Gladstone said in one of his speeches in
lancashire, " they are accepting instalments
on the debt due them, and they will not cease
till they receive Dos in the pound" 1t is what
every creditor does, when he is dealing with
debtor who has plenty of funds, but is slow in
discharging his liabilities.
England owes Ireland an enormous debt 30
large, indeed, that the fee simple of the three
annoying our DISQUALIFICATION the past seven
hundred years. The treatment we have re-
ceived at her hands is only second to that
suffered by the reprobate in q very dark and
dismal world which shall be nameless. She
let her armies loose on our people, and fought
against us for four hundred years, and when
at length we eu.ered into treaty with her she
broke it in the basest manner. She confiscated
more than two-shirds of the kingdom. She
levelled our religious houses with the earth.
She baniShed the chiefs or slew them. She
and murdered many of them in cold blood.
She enacted penal code that is matchless in
the entire world. She closed our schools and
colleges, and drove us to France, Italy and
Spain to seek for knowledge, and carried off
hundreds of thousands of our people to southern
ATTITUDES to rot in warm climates. She destroyed
our manufactures, left us without commerce,
degraded our high-souled farmers to the con-
dition of serfs. To show that the same rule 10
still continued, we have only to state that the
constitution is suspended to-day, and that
there are nearly one hundred political prisoners
Irish rebels-suffering the greatest torture in
English dungeons.
If it were possible to indict England on all
these charges, before an honest and impartial
jury, and that we laid the damages at ESQ, &C.,
600 year for all the torture, plumber and tyr
amy Ireland has suffered for seven long and
dreary centuries and that a verdict We're given
in our favor what would the entire damages
amount tot Why, to no less sum-than
f35OO, O0O,UOO This sum is fully due to Ire
land. And what an idea those men must have
of justice, who say that the dsestablishment of
the alien Church will not satisfy us !Dunddik

GUHor AND THE CATHOLIC CHURcH.-The
eminence of this gentleman, both as states
man and historian and philosopher, entities his
opinions to great consideration. The Paris cor
respondent of the London Tablet thus refers to
some of his opinions on an important subject !:
ain spite of differences of creed, the name of
Guizot is one which is generally pronounced
with respect. He has now reached his ed year,
and is as vigorous in mind and body as many
men of sixty. Last month he left his house at
Val Richer to visit neighboriDg parish, where
the cure had erected, with much zeal and ell
ergy, q church of considerable beauty. NJ. Gui-
cot remained to dinner with the good cure and
several priests; and in conversation let fall
many expressions of sentiment verging on
Catholicity. The conversation turned on priests
undertaking the construction of new churches
with sometimes more zeal than pecuniary prl-
dence. NJ. Guizot took their part. He exclaimed,
with considerable animation: Your priests have
faith, and act by faith And, in spite of some
apparent imprudence, success always follows to
justify Your attempt. This is how the Church
subsists, happy for France and for the world. No!
no! the priesthood does not die out; and the
Papacy does not fall Plus TX. has shown great
wisdom in assembling General Council : from
whose deliberations will go forth the salvation
of the world, for society is very sick. But for
great maladies we must have great remedies "

The Ne'c Irish riceroy.-Lord Spencer is the
charged WITH the andy OF ha ING
hear, he is o good young man. He is not a pau
per, and does not want to make money of us.
One of his uncles was o statesman to whom q
certain Lieutenant of Engineers, named
Thomas Drummond, was private secretary.
Another of his uncles (of whom he is far from
being ashamed), has been seen at Mount Argus
in the habit of Passionist. These facts are in
his Excellency's favor. He will make no mis-
takes if he allows himself to be guided by
Thomas Drummond in the spirit and Thomas
OHagan in the flesh. Why he has been picked
out for the post is not easy to guess, seeing
that his chief distinction has been gained in
connection with the English Volunteer move
ment. and he is coming to a country in which
the arming of the people is a crime. Those
who are up in pedigrees say that his aunt las
been a sort of head nurse to the royal children,
and that he is the first cousin ofArs. Gladstones
sisters husband. That is a great point. There
is a new Cabinet Minister (the Marquis of
Harrington, who, besides being the heir of the
great Duke OF Devonshire, is the brother of the
husband of one of Mrs. Gladstone's nieces.

Catholic c"~didstes and Protestnnf Coaatstaea-
cies-An persons not blinded by those strong
headed preiudices which Engiishnen of in
ferior education proud Of, the elections
The one is that Catholic Ireland is far less
bigoted than Protestant England. In the
former country several purely Catholic con-
stituencies have elected Protestant represent
atives, and in two or three instances Protest
ant has been returned by a Catholic constitu-
ency in preference to Catholic. In the new
house of Commons there will be no less than
Ole constituencies, all of which had the power to
return whom they liked. But not so in Eng
land. At Preston, at Brewery, and at Bridge
water, many of the electors, although agreeing
in politics with Lord Edward Howard, the Hon.
Sir. Maxwell, and Sir John Acton, voted against
them simply because they were Catholics, and
were not ASHAMED to say much. But of
enlightened land.-London Weekly Register.

That Makes the Nose Bleed.-There are two
little arteries which supply the whole face with
blood, one on each side; these branch off from
the main arteries each side of the windpipe,
and, running upward toward the eyes, pass
over the outside of the jawbOne, about two
thirds of the way back from the chin to the
angle of the jaw, under the ear. Each Of these
arteries, of course, supplies inst onehalf of the
face, the nose being the dividing line; the left
nostril is supplied with blood by the left artery
and the right nostril by the right artery. Now,
surprising your nose bleeds by the right nostril
with the end of the forefngaz feel along the
outer edge of the right jaw till you feel the
beating Of the artery directly under your fin
ger, the same as the pulse in your wrist, then
press the finger hard upon it, thus getting the
little fellow in tight place between your fin
ger and the iaw-bone; the result will be that
no drop of blood goes into the side of your face
while the pressuis continues; hence the nose
instantly stops bleeding for want Of blood to
flow; continue the pressure for five minutes,
and the ruptured vessels in the nose will by
this time probably contract SO that when you
let the blood into them they will not leak.
Bleeding from a cut or wound anywhere about
the face may be stopped in the same way.

CONDENSED FACTs.-Sewing machines are
becoming almost as common articles of house
hold use as clocks or cooking stoves. single
factory in New York turns out 300 machines q
day, and has such large demands that it is
about doubling its works.-An extraordinary
subsistence in the water of the Baltic Sea
occurred lately. The level of the sea sank
over three feet in one day. but soon returned
again-Few people are aware that there is
little republic, San Marine, in the very heart
of the kingdom of Italy and entirely surrounded
by it. Its population, according to a recent
census, numbers about 5000 souls, governed
by Council of State, composed of twelve
members, chosen from among the patrician
families, which have enjoyed this aristocratic
right for more than 200 years.-A European
oculist has discovered, by experiments on
animals, that they can be killed, apparently
with little pain, in q few seconds, by forcing
air into their eyes. The most remarkable and
not the most cheering fact about it is that the
process leaves no observable trace. behind and
can be as easily applied to men as animals.-
From actual tabular statements compiled in
Scotland, it appears that out of loo, 600 married
persons (including widows) at tho age of 70,
626 die before attaining the age of IS; while
out of a similar number Of unmarried persons
at the same age, no less than 1921 die before
attaining the age of IS. We need hardly
suggest the moral to susceptible young peo-
nile.

THE NEGRO AND THE CHURCH.-DuKing the
late war, the Catholic Church was tainted
with her indifference to the condition OF the
slaves. In unnumbered instances it was shown
that the Church was uniform in her treatment
of slaves, no matter what their color With
the Gospel, she has taught lawful obedience to
legitimate authority. Any other course would
be subversive of civilization. The Church is
the true friend of man in every condition OF life;
this necessary obedience was inculcated on the
negro prior to and after the emancipation.
Protestants have boasted of being pre-eminent-
~ the friend of the slave, and a writer in the
Westera Catholic thus shows how small found
alton there is for this claim:
What has Pmritaaism done for the negro She
first dragged him Stare upon American soil she
placed the shackles upon his wrists, and the
ball and chain upon his ankle /; she invented the
tortures which Southern cruelty attefward re-
fined she denied the existence OF marriage
among the negroes (GOodell, PIP. II and IL
them in state of heathenism, teaching them
neither Christianity nor the alphabet, (Goodel
p. 13), and bought and sold them, violating
every law of nature and humanity, for the sole
purpose Of making money when profit of this
kind was no longer possible, she went 20 the
opposite extreme, and taught the negro to re0et
against the very laws which she originally
made for his oppression! Thus, and only thus,
has Puritanism been the friend of the negro.
If we should say that New England's relation
to the negro since his emancipation has been
still more atrocious, we would precipitate our
selves at once upon the discussion of present
politics, and there is no consideration which
can tempt Ms to cross the threshold of such
subject.
When Puritanism shows that the Catholic
Church is preaching to-day to the negro q Cos
pei unlike that which she has taught all men,
in all ages, then but not till then, will the fair
minded people of this continent hearken to her
statement.

The Church in Srit=erland.-The following has
lately appeared in a public journal, from the
pen of a Protestant Swiss magistrate:
"We are besieged by the Papacy and if
things continue to go on as they have been do
ing, wager ten to one that before five years
are passed we shall have precisely the same re-
lgiOus crisis in Switzerland as that which now
carries all before it in England. The prospect
alarms me, confess but it is my firm convic-
ton that the future of Switzerland is also in
the hands of the Romish Church"

University of Loarain.-The following is given
as the result of the examination of students in
the Catholic University of Louvain, France,
during the second session of 1868 427 candi-
dates presented themselves, of whom 304 were
admitted "a with the title highly distin-
guished, 81 distinguished, and 1873 satisfactory.
The number of new pupils at the University of
Louvain already exceeds 700; befof1the end of
the year it will probably reach $50.

Archbishop Spalding ON Marriages.
Spalding, of Baltimore, has issued an order in
his diocese forbidding the indiscriminate admis-
sion of persons in churches to witness marriage
ceremonies. No one will attend except by card
of invitation by the persons interested. This
is deemed necessary on account of the levity
and improper conduct of cnriosity-seekers on
recent occasions.

The Loadon Tablet well remarks" When
parents come sorrowing to priests, and beg
prayers and assistance in restoring the faith to
children who have lost it, they are inconsistent
to allow their tables to be covered with period
icals and newspapers which, though fair and
clean outside, like the newly painted sepulchres
of Jewry, yet within are full Of bones, and
bitterness, and corruption
