A CHINESE DICTIONARY BY A FOREIGN
MIss1oNARY.-TheG aulais (says the Pail
Mall Gazette, announces the successful COM
pletion of one of those undertakings which
recall the surprising labors of the Benedic-
tines of old. Monseigneur Perry, Vicar
Apostolic in the Celestial Empire, has just
presented the Emperor with the first vol
ume of a French and Chinese dictionary.
This is a wonderful monument of linguistic
skill and of conquered difficulties. The in
tellectual exertion alone was enough to
make the stoutest heart quail; but the au-
thor had also to overcome mechanical diff
culties that were nearly insuperable. He
had to form moulds for the $4,000 charac-
ters comprising the Chinese language, to
run the type, and to set up the work with
his own hand. And all this in a little cell
at the establishment for foreign missions.

PURCHASING SoULs.-During a late de-
bate in the House of Lords, on the second
reading of the benefices bill, a member
said it was thing to be deprecated that a
clergyman might find himself in charge of
a parish of 1000 OF 5000 souls, for no
other reason than that he had gone into the
market and bought the property; and the
Duke Of Marlborough said the traffic in
benefces was q scandal to the church Of
England.

which permits the largest liberty, not merely
in things material, but likewise. in intellec-
tual matters. We are reminded of this by
scanning the course of eventsin Belgium and
France. The Church has particularly gained
in the latter country in educational mat
tiers. She has struggled for years to dis
engage herself from the trammels of. the
State, and now, after fierce contest, the
fruits of victory have shown themselves.
Commencing under the Citizen King for free
dom to impart primary education, the prin-
ciple has now been conceded in it's applica-
ton to freedom of superior education. The
evil influence of a Goddess University will
now be neutralized. Henceforth Chris
tianity will have fair showing as well as
infdelity, and the rising generation in
France will have some chance of receiving
education worthy of the name. The bitter
fruits of the Government lycees are but too
evident, in the existing state of French So
ciety. All that is now on the eve of IA
deal reformation, and not a moment toe
soon. 1t is needless to say that success
has not been won without q struggle. The
education question, says contemporary, has
been the battle ground of Christians, that
is Catholics and infidels, in France for the
last half century. Liberalism has died
hard, and has yielded only bit by bit
There is nothing your foreign Liberia

quietly inferred. That undertaking was
instantly given, and the gentleman in COM
munication with the prison authorities ac-
tually started for Ireland to insure the full
flment Of the promise. Another telegram
from Portland announced that the body
was detained by order of the Secretary of
State, who was not quite satisfied with the
arrangement for preventing political de-
monstration at Glasnevin. To meet this
difficulty telegram was dispatched forth
with to the Home Office, stating that, to
prevent any demonstration. the remains
would not be inferred at Glasnevin, but
would be buried privately in the burial
place of the family of the deceased. The
reply by telegraph was the expression of
the Under-Secretary's regret that the last
offer came too late, as the body had been
already inferred at Portland.
There can be no doubt about the truth
of the foregoing, as the kilograms published
in the Irish national newspapers are patent
to the world. What are we to think of a
Government which would thus violate
faith, and refuse to give up the remains
after arrangements had been made for their
removal, and after solemn promise had
been given that the funeral should be con-
Quoted quietly, a. becomes the burial Of

The Navy.
The complement of men allowed by

been reached, the department has d.
rected that enrollments shall cease.
The effects of the order will be to detain
the Colorado which is destined to re-
lieve the Delaware on the Asiatic sta
ton and to keep the men attached to
the latter vessel over the term of the
enlistment, for which they will receive
STA additional pay. The department
has urged upon Congress the necessity
of allowing an additional number OF
men to meet this contingency but no
action has been taken and hence the
Congress, the Colorado and other vessels
cannot sail in any emergency that
might arise. The department is power
less to supply single vessel to meet it.
