ENGLAND.

The English Communists and the Irish
Opposition. several hundreds of men met
on Sunday on Clerkenwell-green to discuss
the propriety of holding demonstration
in Hyde-park to sympathize with the Com
mune, and to protest against the extradi-
tion of. Communist refugees. Most of the
London Democratic and Republican Assoc
Citations were represented. Mr.. +. w.
johnson, formerly one of the Council Of
the Reform League, presided. Mr.. j.
johnson, Secretary of the Universal Re
publican League, spoke at some length in
defence of the acts of the Commune. If
priests dabbled in politics in France as they
did in Ireland, they must put up with the
consequences (cries of No.") He went
on to say that the shooting Of people by
the Versailles Government was disgrace
to the civilization of the nineteenth centu-
~. An Irishman: "That's a lie, johnson,
and you know it; you would all be as
bloodthirsty if you dare" (great uproar).
The chairman continued, amid much inter-
ruption and excitement, that they should
meet in Hyde-park on Sunday to protest
against the Versailles atrocities. When
the excitement on both sides was becom-
ing intensified, Mr.. johnson proposed that
q demonstration of sympathy with the
| Commune should be held on Sunday week
| in Hyde-park. This appeared to be
agreed to by the majority, and the meet
ing divided into groups.-Regtster, June

Mr.. Pettigrew, of South Carolina, was as
famed for repartee as for legal acumen. On
one occasion he entered the Court of Com
mon Pleas, Abbeyville district, clad in ~
linen summer suit. He had to take q juyy
suit at once, and, borrowing black robe
from q fellow barrister, went at it. Caro-
lima has all the old form and fuss, ana the
Judge said, "Mr. Pettigrew, you have on 81
light coat; you can't speak" Pettigrew
replied, "May it please the bench, conform
strictly to the law. Let me illustrate: The
law says that a barrister shall wear black
gown and coat, and your honor thinks that
means o black coat.n Eyes" said the
judge. "Well, the law also says the SheriN
shall wear q cooked hat and sword. Does
your honor hold that the sword mUAt DO
cooked as we'll as the hiatt" He was per
mitted to 60 ON.

thought belonged to the Society OF Catho-
lie Youths, beating and nearly killing one
who did belong to it. The police and
course, nowhere to be seen, having hid
den themselves on purpose, because 1t only
related to an affair Of priests, Catholics,
and proclamation of q church. Next morn
ing the authorities were asked II ehey

any sermon. So the usual sermon was not
preached, but as the congregation Issued
from the church, the youthful members OF
it were insulted, and one so much menaced
that he had to fly into neighboring house
for protection. Where the gases were

this time the police were present, ana

getting caution, cried out " Live the Re-

him, the rest being allowed to disperse at

I have now to record the case Of Professor
Lignana, who was the busy propagator OF the
address to DR.. Dollinger, which purported
to emanate from the Roman University.
Hardly had the Holy Fathers exoommuni-
ing in his course, than he was eeised with
ct of apoplexy, from which his recovery
is very doubtful.
The other day q man commenced to
throw the sand he was bringing into the
city in his cart at priest who was passing
by, when he suddenly lost his balance,
and, ere tho horse, who continued his way,
could be stopped, the wheel had gone over
him, dislocating his shoulder and injurlng
him SO much that fears are entertained for
his life.
It 10 said Theirs has sent to the Italian
Government precise note Of all the rev.

the Commune of Paris. It 10 also reported
that among the papers Of Ward, who was

him vice-consul for Italy in Dublin under
the name of Thouard. In spite of this,
| Venosta, Minister of Foreign Affairs, has
just declared in the Senate his Intention OF

lives who, having failed in his mission,

The Burlington Route" so called, lies
right in the path of the Star of Empire. 1t
runs almost Immediately in the center of the
great westward movement of emigration.
Crossing Illinois and Iowa, it strikes the
Missouri river at three points.
The three points are the gateways into
three great sections of the trans Missouri re

The Northern gate is Omaha, where the
great Pacific road will take you to the land
of gold and grapes, sunny mountains, and
perpetual summer.
The middle gate is Portsmouth, which
opens upon the south half of Nebraska, south
of the Platte RIVER region unsurpassed on
the continent for agriculture and grazing.
Just here are the B. g. NJ. Railroad LANDS,
concerning which Geo s. Harris, the land Of
fcer at Burlington, Iowa, can give you all
information, and in the heart of them Lincoln,
the State Capital and present terminus of
the road.
The Southern gat leads to Kansas, by con-
nections with the St. Joe Road at Hamburg
running direct to St. Joe and Kansas City.
The trains of the Burlington run smoothly
and safely, and make all connections. 1t

Linus Backus, who died on the 10th of
February 1884, aged 10 years and 9

obliviace this stain by scraping are ineffec

the preceding ones having been removed
on account of their inveterate tendency
to represent the same scene. The legend
connected with this singular circum
stance is that the child was killed by it's
mother.

is equitable, and has an important bearing
