faC'orneJ GENERAL Monanans Catholic
slave of the Wing Government, opened the
case against O'Brien. His speech was a
wretched affair. O'Brien stood in the dock,
with his cloak folded around him. He wore
that air of dignity and reserve which was
peculiar to him. He looked fearless and
stern. In the justice of things, this true
hearted gentleman ought to have been in a
position where he could have helped to
punish the men who were about to try him
for "treason" as burglars and robbers.
After the Attorney General had concluded
ms opening statement for the prosecution,
Mr.. O'Brien's counsel moved that all the
witnesses for the Government should leave
court.
Yes" said the Attorney General, "witl
the exception of Mr.. John George Hodges.
the shorthand writer, who is here on the
part OF the Government to report the trial."
An expression of scorn now overshadow-
ed O'Brien's face. "As long" he observed.
" as Mr.. Hodges attended our meetings
simply to report, we had no objection to
his presence but now that he has con-
verified himself into spy fog the Govern
ment, | must object to his presence"
AS hodges was about to retire, the At
torney General, who sat in the bench above
him, upset bottle of ink on his back and
even at this distance of time l think ]
can almost see the big sheet of biottinr-
paper which the Attorney General applied
to Hodges coat for the purpose of soaking
Cne Ink out of 1T. The general details of
the trial are too we'll known to need repeti-
ton. Being then reporter on a local
paper, and quite young, [ felt n deep in

THE GREAT BEAUTY OF IRELAND.-We
know, of course, that Ireland ia called the
" Emerald Isle " and that the color of the
emerald is green, but never had it entered
into our imagination that there was any,
where in this world to be seen such verdure
as it charmed our eyes to look upon in the
rural districts of Ireland. The slopes, the
knells, the dells, the fields of young grain,
over which the breezes creep like play
full spirits of the beautiful-the pastures
dotted over with sheep of the purest wool,
the hillsides rising up into mist-shrouded
mountains, are all covered with thick car
pets of smooth, veivety green. But Ireland
should also be called the Fiowery Isle,
There is not spot in Ireland, l believe,
where blessed Nature can find an excuse
for putting flower but she has put one
not only in the gardens and in the meadows,
but upon the very walls and the craEs Of
the sea, from the great blooming rhodon-
dendrOns down to the smallest howeret
that modestly peeps forth IRON it's grassy
cope. The Irish furze, SO richly yellow,
covers all places that might otherwise be
bare or barren the siikworm delights
everywhere, from thousands of trees, to
" drop its webs of gold;" the bloc ming
with the sweet scented pink, and
especially the white variety, adorns the
landscape and the gardens wall flowers of
every hue and variety, Chamber to hide
the harshness of the mural support. The
beetled cliffs of the North Sea are fringed
and softened with lovely flowers; and if
you kneef anywhere almost on the yielding,
velvety carpet, you will find little we'll
nigh invisible howerets, red, white, blue
and yellow-wrought into the very wool
aud texture. ireland ought to be called
the beautiful Isle. The spirit of the
hOvers over aud touches to living
oveliness every point.-Pau Mall Ga3ette. ]

The AVERAGE INTELLIGENCE OF TIE
AMERICAN PEoPLE.-A Protestant minister.
in Brooklyn, in a recent lecture said:
The newspaper is the great educator of
of the country. There is no force to he
compared to it, and we may as we'll ace
knowledge that the religious and secular
newspapers of this country are the great
educators of the people. We in the pulpit
preach two or three sermons a week. The
printing-press breaches every morning of
the year. If a newspaper be right i is
magnifcently right. If it is wrong, it is
awfully wrong! People don't read books
the vast ma orlty don't. The people of the
United States don't average one book each
during the year. Whence, then, the intel
ligence, the capacity to discuss every aues-
ton, secular and religious, to appreciate
art and science Next to the Bible. 1 an
swer, from the newspapers, swift winged
and flying everywhere. The bad newsDa-
per never stops at false tidings. Many a
mother, whose son was at the front in the
time of n war, has read with streaming
eyes of battles that were never fought.
When a newspaper utters falsehoo it
utters as many as its circulation numbers,
80 that the hugest lie in all the earth is a
newspaper lie. The bad newspaper stons
not for any SANDER. 1t carefully words
the paragraph so that the suspicion is cast
out and the damage done, while the penal

ink-roller. It is q simple fact that the
most abandoned and depraved man in New
York or Brooklyn can go within few
minutes walk into a bad Newspaper Office
and have any lie inserted that he wants in
serted. If he can't get it in any other way
he can get it in what is called the "Per-
sonal" column, and the editor escapes the
responsibility by saying it was an anony-
NOUS communication, when have found
the editor had sometimes written it him
self! The bad newspaper stops for no po-
iltical falsehood. You know as we'll as I
do that in the autumn elections there are
enough falsehoods told by the bad newspa-
pers to make the father of lies lisown his
INDUSTRIOUS progeny. Often have 1 STAYED
away from the ballot-box because could
not tell what the truth was, and what candi
date for Office was worthy. The bad newspa-
per stops not for the uEclean story. The only
question is, will it pay7 The newspapers
of this country, just in proportion as they
purify themselves, decrease their circu!a-
ton, and when paper becomes religious
it is almost-not quite-certain to become
bankrupt. SO that there are to-day, sup
pose, not more than five self-supporting re-
hgious newspapers in this country. Peo-
pie can't stand 80 much religion. Now, I'll
bring this matter before you that you may
watch the newspaper that comes into your
family, for a man is no better than the
newspaper he perpetualiy reads.

A TOUCHING ADDREss.-The Catholics
of StrasbOurg, the heroic and ilifated city,
have recently sent an address to the Holy
Father. What can be more touching than
the following passages:
"Most Holy Eather-Your venerable
throne has fallen before violence. Alone
at that moment, and separated from the
universe by fire and the sword, the unfor-
tunate lcity of Strasbourg was ignorant of
the outrage perpetrated, by men without
nonor, against the Father of the Christian
under the pressure of the enemy, the news
OF your sorrows, o Holy Father, came 70
add new bitterness to our WOO. Ca
tholic Alsace, Most Holy Father, has parti-
cuiar motives for loving the Church of
Christ and the See of Peter. She believes
the first cross erected by Constantine, that
was held by royal hands, and that on her
soil, also, Clovis, received the divine in
splration which gave birth to the Christian
Monarchy and to France herself. A son of
our soil, fulfi ling the commands Of the glo-
rious chief of the second race Of our kings,
deposited on the altar of st. Peter those
famous keys, wrenclied from the Lombard
tyrant by tho sword of France, title of
unparalleled honor for our country, but
which, also, impose on hse q sacred duty.
This Providential duty of France, Most
Holy Father, the Catholics of Asace hope
to have understood in the SO difficult times
of your Pontiicate. They tried, in the
measure of their strength, to defend your
authority against iniquitous aggressions,
with their prayers, with their offerings,
with the blood Of their children. To-day,
the first of these weapons alone remains to
them, for the unheard of misfortunes that
have fallen upon France have stricken
them from the beginning. Our first love,
Most Holy Father, is that of the Catholic
Church. Vouchsafe, Most Holy Fa-
Their in the midst of these calamities of the
monials of your children's devotion, of
their faith in your infallible authority, and |
to grant your paternal benediction to us,
to onr unfortunate city, to France"

BURNING OF A CATHOLIC CuURCH.-Tbe
Pittsburg Catholic says: Saint Bridget's
Church was totally destroyed by fire on the
morning of the 9Th. This is a sad calami-
ty for one of the poorest of our city con-
gregations. They have been struggling
hard for several years, and under mapy
disad vantages, to erect a suitable place Of
worship, and inst Mt the time when they
deemed their labors about to close all has
been swept away in an hours time, leaving
no mark of their zeal and piety but the
bare walls. About forty thousand dollars
had been expended in erecting the church.
on which an assurance was effected for fif
teen thousand, leaving an actual loss of
twenty five thousand to the congregation.
This loss they are not well prepared to
sustain. They have an unpaid debt of fif-
teen thousand dollars, incurred in erecting
the church, still hanging over them, which
will swallow up what may be got from in
surance, leaving nothing towards rebuild
ing the church. 1t would be a great act of
charity on the part of those who have an
abundance of this worlds goods, to give a
portion of them to assist st. Bridget's con-
gregation in rebuilding their church, mea-
sures to that effect having been already
adopted by the jealous Pastor, Rev. James
Treacy, aud subscriptions entered into by
those of the members who have at their
command. We trust that all will enter
into the measures adopted with zeal and
determination to push the good work on to
happy and early conclusion.
