The Board of Controllers Of Public Schools
pennsylvania, have prepared law compelling
the attendance of all children between the ages
OF eight and sixteen. How many thousand are
there in each State who left school long before
the ages mentioned in this act, and who have
continued to get through life with credit to
themselves and to become useful and infuen-
tal citizenss This is preparing Procrustean
bed, which certainly will be impossible to suit
the limbs of many innocent victims-there is
an added injustice when it is known that many
families have to send their children out to earn
something at IL OF Ii years Of age. The whole
thing is conceived in tyranny of the most
crushing kind.
ENGLISH ToLERANCE.-We are often tainted
with bigotry and illiberality towards persons
differing from us, and unfavorable comparisons
instituted, with a view to cast odium on the
Church. The professed principles of Protest
ants deprive them of any excuse in this regard,
seeing that their theory justifies the widest
divergence Of opinion. How this accords with
their practice will be seen by the fact, that a
few Sundays ago, on the occasion of opening n
new Catholic Church in the'town Of Lewes in
Sussex, England, when the congregation came
out from service, a mob of several hundred
persons was assembled in the street, who forth
with stoned them they went home. Many
had to fly for their lives, and the venerable
Bishop Morris, who, in the absence of DIR.
Grant at Rome, had been officiating at the
ceremony, was obliged to take refuge in the
shop of q trailesman, who thus helped to save
his life. Many of the Catholics had to fly for
their lives, and several were seriously hurt by
the missiles thrown at them. The English
press has hardly raised a languid voice against
these doings; but we wonder what it would
have said had they been enacted by Catholics
abroad against Protestants. The miscreants
who figured in this scene, on Guy Faux's day,
gave point to their annual celebration by
burning the rising Catholic church in effigy.
This done, they proceeded in body to the
town, with the benevolent purpose of assail-
ing the priests residence. After they had COM

tanned that they had been breaking the par
sons windows instead of the priests, the two
happening to be near neighbors.
ARcHRIsHoP OF WESTMINSTER ON IRELAND.
In q sermon recently preached by his Grace
the Archbishop of Westminster the following
passage relative to Ireland occurs. 1t is not
the first time the Archbishop has spoken words
of consolation to poor Ireland:
On the Judgment Day two nations in par
ticular would be recompensed with great glory
by the Saviour-Judge, because of all they had
done to spread abroad to the uttermost limits
of the earth the knowledge of the love of His
holy name The first of these was- ireland
Ireland, the long afflicted, the ever-fathful,
the. patient and, he was going to add, the ever
sufiering-but he would not, for he hoped and
believed that the days of her great trials and
tribulations were fast passing away, and that
brighter future would soon open for her.
Wherever the English tongue was spoken
aproau-ln africa, IN ASIA, In America, III AUS
tralia-there was the Irish missionary, toiling,
preaching, praying, enduring, and ready at
any moment to testify to the faith by his blood.
And what should he say of the Irish people
Persecution could not conquer their loyalty to
the Church of God at home, and in foreign
chimes they were the truest maintainers, in all
its plenitude, of the purity of holy faith.
ACTION AGAINST THE ARCHBISHOP OF WEST
MINsTER.-A certain Mr.. w. Cobbett brought
an action against DIR. Manning fol- assuming
the title of Archbishop of Westminster, there
by becoming liable to the penalty of 9100,
under the Ecclesiastical Titles Act. AS, how
ever, according to the Act, the consent of tue
Attorney General is necessary to an action
being brought, and that consent had not been
given, poor Mr. Goblet gained nothing by his
action, and judgment was given against him,
besides which he had to pay the costs, amount
ing to several hundred pounds.
TIE EMPEROR AND INFALLIBuITY.- is
stated, upon what appears to be pretty trust
worthy French authority, that the Emperor
was some weeks ago conversing with Il person
who appealed to him in horror from the tlefini-
ton of the Pontif7s immunity from error in
matters of faith and morals. The Emperor
replied, with q shrug of the shoulders, az
thought we all believed that" But" urged
this jealous courtier, "your MTesty's rights
are being invaded" "Ah!" said the Emperor,
