We read in the EI Norte of Corona the
following -" Insult the priests is now the
order of the day. We have seen letter
in which the cure of q small village, near
the town of Figueras, who has been the
victim in his own house of gross insult on
the second day of the grand festival. If
these disorders continue, the poor priests,
and, in fact, all honorable men, had better
emigrate to Kaffirland, for there the katfirs |
will respect them. Is it not sufficient that
our spiritual fathers should suffer misery |
without adding insults God has given them
| grace and strength to embrace the former /;
NAV He grant them alike blessing to en-
dure the latter till better days come again"
The above journal has splendid article
entitled, ga Recipe for the Cure of Indi-
vidual Liberalism" The article is too long
to translate in full, but the following ex-
tracts will suffice to show it's general bear
ing 1.-THE liberalism enthroned in Spain
ia q new edition of that of Henry VIII. of
England, the Reformation in Germany and
the Assembly of France-that is to say, the
appropriation of everything belonging to
Church. Who cares for the reasons adj
vanced on behalf of religious men and
women9 We must practice for the future
economy, politics and socialism. There
: is justification for every latitude, no mat
ter how base and infamous may be its pro-
ject. Let us cry then Tipe la iberta,' yes,
liberty of the Church. What says the con-
cordat That you must not rob the Church
9 and the nation of their goods"
d Professionalism and infdelity," says the
: above journal, have received severe
:, check by the able and magnificent works
:, published lately from the pen of young
g Senior Don Felix Sarda, who exhibits, in a
Is comprehensive form, the truths and beau
q ties of our holy religion. The works are
/ sound in doctrine, and written in pure i'd
e iomatic Castilian."
" We read in a periodical, says the Con-
d riccion of Barcelona, that q Protestant par
D son of O small community near the town OF

cholera patient to i've him the communion
lt but, not wishing to trust himself SO neal
g. danger, he called his servant to do The
I'd needful. However, he thought better of it
tie and proceeded to the sick house, opened
1t. the door, and handed in the bread, saying
IN Believe firmly, and it is the same as
lg you were to receive itfrom me-" Some day.
iN afterwards the parsop, hearing the sick MAJ
had recovered, he directed his steps to thu
rs house to ask for his ordinary contribution
g. The convalescent Immediately met hin
of with q bag of money grasped IN his hand
so the parson stretched out his hand greedil.
o. for the remuneration, but the other put tn
a bag in his pocket, saying, I" Believe tirml
he and it is the same rs if you were to receiv
Ii it from me-" The parson beat Il retrea
to covered with confusion and shame.
lr The Regeneration of Madrid says :-"Th
at parish priest of Alcabon arrived at Bilbo
he ON Tuesday last on his way from Santona
or and the day after he started for viilag
of near San Sebastian. From this point h
on was conducted to the French frontier by
