Es-A singular affair took place in Sche-
ncctady few days ago As a cat story
it goes ahead Of anything of the kind we
have heard. The father of a family just
before retiring late at night hcared groans
IN the room occupied by his daughter, a
girl twelve years of age. Upon going to
the room he found cat upon the breast of
the child with its fore legs around the child's
neck and its mouth in the child's mouth.
1t was with some difficulty that the cat was
removed The child had evidently been
asleep, and when found was so much OK.

causing the death Of infants in this way,
but never before heard of such an incident
in connection with girl twelve years of age.
The facts were reported by the father him
self. The girl has since been troubled in

them the flag they had wished me to let
them have when they first asked to Be-

ing over the camp as in order to bid them
remember to act as Christians, they rose,
came to shake hands with me, ranging
themselves on each side of me to go to see
the Chippewas again. The whole assem-
bly, was silent to receive and listen to us.
The two Sioux made speech in which
they expressed their regret for having at
first refused the presents offered by the
Chlppewas in the intention of making
peace. They said they now wished to
make peace with the Chippewas and with
every human being, and that in the name
of religion they were sincerely forgiving
the murderers of their parents and rela-
tions. The next day, after mass, all went
to the fort, and after a few speeches made
by the chiefs to Gen. L. c. Hunt, the treaty
was signed by all the principal men present.

FANATICIsM AND JACoUERIE.-The Paris
Temps has dismal article on what it calls
the dangers that beset France of Jac-
querie in the provinces and revival of
religious animosities. In the first place
the common people of certain districts are
said to be rising up against their superiors,
the landed gentry, but no facts are alleged
to justify such statement. 1t has proba-
bly, arisen out of some very natural ex-
preston of popular indignation that n
highly-taxed community should be exposed
to the horrors and ruinous devastation of
an invasion by foreign enemies, and I'll at
through the mistakes and incapacity of fhe
Government. AS to the religious animcei-
ties said to be arising between Catholic
and Protestant, caused by an excited notion
said to have gained possession of the agri
cultural mind in Alsace, that the Protest
ants favor the Prussians, it is no doubt ex-
ceedngly unfortunate that such an idea
should exist, and we can easily ina agine
that in the present state of public feeling
it may cause serious inconvenience to those
who are its objects. But is there nothing
to be said on the other side The Pro
testants are in the minority in Alsace, and
it is mostly found that Professionalism, when
in the minority, is apt to show itself anti
national, disloyal and rebelliousak At all
events, it is undeniable that France has
found 1T so in her past history. 1t is highly
probable that some foolish Protestants may
nave expressed satisfaction at the success
of their co-religiOnists-a most deplorable
proceeding in the present temper of the
populace. The insults thrown on the Ca
tholic clergy by the infidel press in it's pa
tronage of Professionalism are not likely to
conclliate the Catholic population. We
see asserted, what we need not say is as
suredly y vile calumny, that in Alsace and
Lorraine the Catholic priests have insti-
gated the peasants to murder the Prussian
wounded by telling them the Prussians
were come to exterminate the Catholic re-
ligion. We boldly assert that it is at least
as grossly improbable that French Catholic
priests would have acted thus as it would
be to charge English Protestant rectors,
Yicars or curates with similar wickedness.
If the idea has existed that the Prussians
were hostile to the Catholic religion, it
could only have arisen from their own acts.

THE NEWEST GLoRIEs OF THE CA1aoI1c
CHURCH." Salrete flores Martyruan IN was
st. Philips exclamation when he saw the
Englsh mlssloners Set out from Rome to
labor IN England for the conversion of their
country. The saint knew but too we'll that
the end of such toll, in most instances, was
the martyrs crown, and he looked on them
al as doomed when they craved his bless
ing on their work. And SO in our times.
Year after year, we may say week after
week, sees the thirsty soil of China and
Japan watered with the hallowed blood of
some holy priest or devoted religious, and
week after week sees the advent of Others
whose sole longing is for the salvation of
the heather. Precious iHthe sight of God
is the death of His saints, and doubly- pre-
cious that of his martyrs. For them is re-
served special crown; for them there is a
special glory and peculiar honor. They
come out of much tribulation, and, having
washed their robes white in the blood Of
the Lamb, go to swell the great and count
less multitude of His followers in Heaven.
ever pressing around HimSas He treads
the crys paved Courts of Paradise, young
men and aged, maidens and venerable
mothers in religion, surrounding Him with
their virginia. chOirs, and singing that new
canticle which the elecs alone know how
to sing.
Their precious blood, the seed of the
Church, ever cries aloud from the earth to
0ou ioI SenSeauce, out the only vengeance
they seek is forgiveness and the grace of
conversion for their murderers. From be-

know the sweets of that Name, for whose
sake and in whose strength we dared and
learned to die 7"
Month by month sees the troop added to,
and month by month the number of our in
tercessOrs increases in Heaven. AS their
ranks are mown down by the sword of the
SO are they recruited by fresh
soldiers, to be in their turn cut off, only to
see from above their places occupied by
others as glorious and as pure in their
lives as they themselves were lovely and
glorious in their deaths. And as in Sir
Walter Scott's " Fair Maid OF PERTH" the
stalwart henchman and his champion sons
nobly stepped before their chief to save
him in the deadly combat and with the cry
of Another for Hector" SO they with the
sacred names of Jesus and Mary on their
lips, offered themselves ungrudgingly to
fight against the powers of darkness.
These thoughts have been suggested to
us as we read of the fearful massacre of
priests, Sisters of Charity, and lay people,
native converts and Frenchmen, at Tien-
tsin.

How RELIGION SooTuEs TE SAVAGE
BREAsT.-The following inter}ting par
ticulars were furnished by the Rev. L. B..
NJ. Glnin, Missionary Priest, tol le North
,cestern Chronicle. The occas.d was the
conclusion of treaty of peace Il Fort Alb
ercrombie, between the Sioux bd Chip
pewas, which was presided oveAy Lieut..
Col. Hunt, U. S. A.
The principal chiefs, big and Huential
men of the Sioux and ChippeU eUnations,
arrived on the 18th of August On the
afternoon of the 14th an incident Ok place
which came very near putting end to
the peaceable arrangement. In ", 1869,
two Chippewas had murdered SOD Sioux,
whose relations were now preset at the
ceremonies of peace. Upon ldc circle
being formed around the flag of Il United
States and my mission flag, t3 of the
nearest relations of the murderehen sat
in close to the flags while some Qhpewas
were beating the drums, other dancing
around the two Sioux in mournin&titude
aud occasionally throwing to tlh some
precious Indian ornaments, as cApensa-
ton for the loss of parents, reat tns. and
friends. All the Indians aroId looked
joyful as that ceremony wac dng on.
Their joy had no restraint whe ley saw
the chief Chippewa soldier stripinI himself

with which he was loaded az gEe them |

in which he expressed the strget feeling
of disapproval of the murders doings, |
and regret for the murdered. ttalddenly |

inasmuch as q superabundance Of pretty
women is not considered favorable to the
CROWN OF sanity Communities. But let
tnat pass. In the olden time sanctity was
doubtless impervious to the glances of

Don't you want young woman to cook 'em7''
Modern opinion seems to coincide with
that on the subject of Hibernian beauty,
for French writer has recently passed a
most enthusiastic eulogium upon it. After
compiimenting the Irish girls she saw in
rare purity of their complexion, the rich
abundance of their brown hair, he goes on
TO say, with the characteristic modesty of
MS country, that they resemble French
girls more than the feminines of any other
nation on the face of the earth. Irish
women" he says, especially resemble the
French in the good taste of their toilette;
the ease and fexibility of their movements, |
and the gracious, frank, cordiality of their
manners" Then they know how to walk,
which, in his opinion, 'Englishwomen do
not. AS we think all ladies have right
to know what is said in their praise. and
as the Frenchman's article has never to
our knowledge been translated, We give |
the pretty Irishwomen on this side Of the |
Atlantic the benefit of the pith Of it.

already given her word that lIohenzolleru
should not mount the throne of Spain. when
in 1863 there had been question OF his cam
didature. At that time the French Minister
at Berlin told the King that no Prussian
could reign in Spain
Count Bismarck replied that France need
not concern herself at contingency so improb-
able, and Herr Won Thile, the Prussian I'M
der Secretary of Foreign Affairs, gave his
word Of honor that Hohenzollern was not and
could not be a candidate. If assurances thus
solemn cannot be relied upon, diplomatic in
tercourse must cease in repudiating pledges.
Prussia challenges France who now only de-
mands in view of previous regeneration,
that the formers remuneration of her designs
be made real; and permanent. The circular
concludes by declaring that history must as
sign TO Prussia the responsibility for war
which she had the the means of avoiding, and
which while she affects to deplore, she has
rather sought, and adds: Under what circum-
stances has she done this? 1t is when France
for four years past has RETAINED with almost
exaggerated scrupulousness from invoking
against her the treaties concluded under the
meditation OF the Emperor, but to which she
has failed to give voluntary support. OF all
the arts OF this government which has only
thought Of the means of freeing herself of the
obligations of the treaties even while signing
them, Europe has been witness. Let
Europe pronounce upon the justice of our
cause.
The English Journals report that there
were several skirmishes between the advance
guards along the the line of the frontier, but
give no details. 1t is extremely difficult to
obtain intelligence from the seat of war as
correspondents are strictly forbidden from aP-
proacfing the army lines. The authorities
Of Strasbourg no longer permit strangers to
ascend the steeple of the Cathedral, because
the movements Of the troops on both sides
can be seen from that point. Quarters are
preparing for the Emperor and staff at Stras-
bourg. The number of volunteers who have
enlisted for the war is $1,000. Many ladies
offer their services as nurses for the wounded.
While in the service they will wear a costume
similar to that Of the Sisters of Charity. s.5.s,
