MARRIAGE LAWS IMrosED ON IRELAND
The shameful results that have followed
the imposition of imperial marriage laws
ON Ireland, are well illustrated by the fol-
lowing anecdote related by the Bishop of
Kerry when on examination before the
Royal Commission:
A Protestant farmer (he sadly came to
me to get leave to marry a Catholic young
woman of the neighborhood. told him
could not do it; had no power to marry
him. He then went and made an ohiurga-
ton, and was received into the. Catholic
Church and a very short time afterwards,
before the twelve months had passed he
was married. 1 suppose was a conseuting
party, but it was very imprudent thing
to do. He spent the poor girls fortune,
which was some f3OO, turned her out of
doors and the next place met her was at
the door of an attorney, whom she was GO
ing to employ to take proceedings against
him. told the poor young woman it was
utterly useless-that she was not married
in law; aud she is now living with her
father after having her fortune spent, aud
after having been maltreated by this fellow
who protested himself Catholic, and in a
very short time after wards went back again
to the Protestant Church.

DR.. NEwMAN.-The following letter has
been addressed by DR.. Newman to cor
respondent who had written to him point
ing out~the conclusions which certain
journals had deducted from some of his
recent letters:
your appeal to me, and answer it without
delay. Men are illogical, when they con-
clude, as the Newspaper which You send
me, that because I disapprove Of the &C
tions of certain Catholics, therefore my faith
is unsettled as regards the Catholic Church.
No one denies that the Bishop of Orleans,
in spite of his burhing words against these
same acts, has firm faith in the Catholic
Church; no one calls him restless. Why,
then, am restless becausef wrote strong,
but most confidential, letter to my own
bishop, and to~hfm alone, as a matter of
sacred duty In the year 1862 I was, as
has often happened in the course of the last
twenty-five years, (fOr Protestants have
never let me alone,) most groundlessly re-
ported to be q wavering Catholic. then
used words in answer which l will now re-
peat, and that with as great energy as
then wrote them. 4 have not had a mo-
ment's wavering of trust in the Catholic
Church ever since I was received into her
fold. I hold, and ever have held, that her
Sovereign POntiff ia the centre of unity,
and the Vicar of Christ. And / have ever
had, and have still, an unclouded faith in
her creed, in all its articles; supreme
teaching; and An eager longing, and a hope
against hope, that the many dear friends
whom I left in Professionalism may be made
partakers in my happiness.-I am, dear
Rev. sir, most truly yours,

In Cne cnurcneS ana q spirit OF lying ana
malignity beyond description" Another
Presbyte pastor complains of the pre-
JUDGE engendered against such doctrines as
" election, limited atonement, and special
operations of the spirit.
HARD RUN.-The enemies of the Holy
Father are often at a loss how to assail him
so as to show variety in their attacks.
Thus an infidel paper states that the rel
atives of the Pope have Jewish blood in
their veins. Upon this contemporary
says, we know not with what object this is
done, or what is the point intended to be
made. But we would remind the Gasette
that, even if the story be true, the most il
lustrious of Plus TX predecessors in the
Papal Chair, whose name was CephGs, OF
Rock, was full blooded Jew.
MODEL PRESBYTERIAN MIN1sTER.-The
Rev. DR.. G. B. Smythe, of the Eleventh
street Presbyterian Church, New York, was
tried recently by the Presbytery for having
on the conclusion of his sermon Sunday
week, treated the reporters to gin and milk.
All thesreporters were present to give evil
dence. He said he did not ask the parties
to drink, but took them to a saloon to drink
what they might call for, while he gave
them his notes.
NEwDEGATE.-A meeting which lately
took place in London, at the Stafford Club,
to protest against Mr.. Newdegate's motion
for inquiry into conventual establishments,
there were present in the room fifty three
gentlem en- who had sisters, daughters, OF
aunts members Of religious communities in
England.

"THE SLEEPING-CAR SwINDLE.-The
Cincindati Gazette is making war against
what it terms the sleepiug-car swindle. a
correspondent Of that paper says
In the beginning OF this accommodation
(the sleeping cars) the price was 70 cents,
or 81 so for lower donbe berth but du-
ring the war it was increased perhaps one
third and the people did not complain.
Now, while every description Of expense
has diminished, this has been advanced un-
til it is a shameful e6tortion."
The Gazette says there is one railroad
company in the west that has given notice
to the sleeping car managers to haul off
their cars unless they comply with their
contract. This contract limits the charge
for sleeping beiths to so cents, being 81
per night for double lower berth. The
charge from Cincinnati to New York for
double lower berth is 81, and for section
So. Almost half as much is charged for
this sleeping privilege as the railroad CON-
pany receives for Transportation. The pub
public are advised to let the sleeping cars
alone until the charges are modified.
