encouragement from the other powers,
will subside and give Russia her point

THE DIFFERENCE.-TheL London Universe
shows in the following paragraph how ''cir-
cumstances alter cases."
There is great outcry against Catholic
peer, Lord Granard, for having made re-
ference in speech in Wexford to the battle
of Vinegar Hill, fought in 1898, between
the United Irishmen aud the kings troops.
Some people want to have the noble lord
deprived of the commission of the peace
and of his seat at the Privy Council. 1t
seems strange that SO much complaint
should be made of an Irisbman referring
to q matter of history, when Englishmen
and Scotchmen are permitted to give what
ever historical illustrations they please.
Sir Walter Scott, in one of his novels, call
ed Edward H., King of England, felon,
on account of his conduct to Scotland,
which country defeated him at Bannock-
burn, where her troops were led by Bruce,
and yet Scott was made baronet. At the
present time there may be seen on the
Scott monument in Edinburgh represen-
tation of Prince Charles Edward Stuart
drawing his sword, and even 30 late as a
hundred years ago such a representation
would have been deemed treason against
King George III. 1t was but the other
day, too, that members of the administra-
ton subscribed to the Wallace monument
at Stirling, and yet Wallace was called q
traitor, and was cruelty put to death in
London by an English king. Surely an
Irish speaker, not advising an illegal act,
has right 70 refer to the history of Ire
land.

had worked In large bodybuilding yard

some of the first part of the service in the
sacristy, and afterwards commenced to preach
. sermon before going to the grave side. Oh.
the congregation left tho church. The clergy
man persisted, and commenced preaching out
side the church. Meantime the mourners went
removed: Tho clergyman still continued, and
finished his sermon, the mourners having left
him in disgust. He was then booted and
pelted WITH stones on gong away, ana the
windows of the house in which he took refuge
were smashed. Ultimately the police came to
protect him.
There is great salt mine near Austin, Ne
vada, which looks like frozen lake. 1t 10
twenty miles long and twelve wide, without .
break in its entire expanse. The stratum is
about seven inches thick with layer of sticky
mud underneath it two feet thick, and under
this another stratum Of transparent salt six
feet thick in some parts. 1t is ninety-fve per
cent pure salt. As there is q thin crystalline
roughness on the top of this lake Of salt, it
makes it poor skating.

A Pleasing 1neidsM.

John Mitchell, in his "Jail Journal" re-
counting his life in Paris in 1862, records
this affecting incident:
Our eldest daughter, Henrietta, has this
winter become Catholic. 1t was no new
within on her part, for long since, while we
were living at Washington, she had formed
| the same wish very strongly, Influenced
partly, as I supposed, by her Intimacy with
two young ladies of Maryland Catholic
family, who were our next door neighbors:
by her very stro1g Irish seling, and had q
kind of sentiment that one cannot be thor
| oughly Irish without being Catholic. For
that time, however, we had objected to any
decided and public step being taken in this
direction. She was too young to have duly
studied the question and to know her own
mind thoroughly; but I said that if, after
two or three years, she should still enter
tain the same wish, would not utter one
word to dissuade her. Since our arrival in
France abe has been placed at school in the
Convent Of the Sacred Heart, and has be-
come greatly attached to one of the good
excellent and accomplished woman. This
condition of things was not calculated to
abate her Catholic zeal, and, in short the
time came when my poor daughter declared
that she must be q Catholic-she could not
live without being a Catholic. did not think
ueT pAIcAt6 Adu INC Xi&uC, dusl luUcou Cn0y
had not the disposition, to cross her wish
any further. So on q certain day, she and
another young lady were to be baptized in
the chapel of the convent. The Arch
bishop of Paris, Cardinal Morlot, heard of
it, and wrote to the Reverend Mother of
the house, to the effect that, as several con-
versions of Protestant pupils which had
lately taken place In the converts had given
rise to imputations of undue influence, and
conversions by surprise, as it were, and
had afterwards given umbrage to the rela-
tives, he should require, before any further
steps were taken, / should be asked for
written consent. Madame D showed
me the letter, and I instantly wrote the
required consent. For this acquiescence
was most earnestly blamed by some of my
connections in the north of Ireland, who
wrote to me urging that ought to exert
my authority to stop such an apostacy.
What would they have me to do? Shut
up my daughter in her room, and give her
the Westminster Confession to read! How
should like this usage myself Here was
q girl of nineteen, full of intelligence and
spirit, gentle and affectionate, who had
never given to her father or mother one
moments uneasiness upon her account, de-
lberately declaring that she desired to
embrace the ancient faith of her forefathers.
In short, believe that acted right. For
the short remainder of her days she lived
a devout Catholic, and SO died. She lies
buried In the cemetery of Mont Parnasse.
