The intensity of the public feeling may
be inferred from the fact that such wers
the grosns of the STUDENTS at Trinity
College, Dublin, for Earl Spencer, who
accompanied Prince Arthur on his visit
there, that his Royal Highness precipi
lately retired. The Earl is in favor oi
disestablishment, and he therefore shared
with Maynooth the basso displeasure ot
the 0rangemen among the boys of Trim
ity, who added insult to injury by rounds
of Kentish FIRE in the presence of the
Prince, and Dublin is indignant, and
the Liberals get the benefit of this as
we'll as otaer Orange demonstrations
And the Ribbonmen are bringing their
fuel by arm loads to the fame. They
began in anti Orangeism but have long
since degenerated into banditti, wht Sc
spirit is one Of spite toward the land
owners, and whose object is to do away
with that class. In the central counties
of Ireland they reign almost unmolested.
They are now especially audacious in
the county of Westmeath, where the
blood-thirsiy shillaleh has been substi-
tuted for the gentle scepier of Victoria.
Murders multiply. Police attend the
carriages Of the gentry, and lamps are

eagerly.
May; God willing, not long, my
honey I"
We quieted the boy, and he lay back
in silence, showing each moment hope
full signs of returning strength and
vitality. In placing him carefully on
the extemporized couch, we found that
the left arm was broken, above the elbow,
aud the shoulder considerably bruised.
Beyond this, however, there was no
appearance of serious injury to body or
limb, aside from the severe shock to the
system.

what Answer?-Are We Coming TO
Imperialism


The Round Table, discussing the ques-
ton" Are we drifting into imperial
ism ?"-reasons in this somewhat dis
couraging strain:
In plain sooth, the age of sensuslity,
of unchecked corruption, of dense, Grass
ignorance is coming down on US like
night A free press should have given
more notes of warning than it has; but
the press disikes, in free country, to
print unpalatable truth, even when it
discerns such truth, and the journals that
profess fearless devotion to principle "
are notoriously the ones whose articles
betray the most laborious solicitude to
catch the applause and fatter the preju-
dice of the greatest number. Meanwhile,
at what are called our "great centers,"
coarse brutes, who ought to be digging
railways or drawing hsnd-carts, lay down
the law for the whole commun nifty, and by
dint of vast wealth, smassed under cir
cumstances impossible in any other civ
ized country, degrade the social tone,
and spread in every direction an unbri-
died rage for the pleasures of the senses.
Intellectual elevation or ambition is
scoffed at, and those who strive to incul-
cate taste for better things are either
hated or despised. Nothing is thought
of but the delights of the table, of fine
clothes, of snowy dwellings and equip
ages-in word, of physical raptures of
every description. If there is pretense
at anything else--whether in the pulpit,
in the theater, or in literature-the pill
must be gilded so as to appear "sensa-
tional." Ill this is so widely admitted,
no shamefully notorious, that its recital
is trite enough; we repeat ii merely in
elucidation of the subject under discus
sion. II is impossible, when people |
think all things of their bodies and
nothing of their minds, that either q
