many laborers. The College of Thurles
already numbers among it's students young
ecciesiastics preparing for the missions of

graduate the College of Thurles on having

greater number of the provincial dioceses,

THE LATE JOHN EDWARD PIGoT, ELDEST
SON OF CHIEF BARON PIGoT.
The remains of this amiable, highly gift
ed and much lamented gentleman were
consigned to their last resting place, in
Glaspevin Cemetery, on Tuesday morning,
July 9TH. In the funeral procession were
to be recognized men of the highest posi-
ton in society, who knew the deceased and
held him in the highest estimation, because
of the many virtues which adorned his
character. The deceased was known to q
wide circle, and by all to whom he was
known he was loved and respected. He
exercised great influence in society, for
his accomplishments were varied and of a
high order. Although he had never figured
prominently as politician, he has done
more probably than any man who has
to the national aspirations of the country.
He was siDgularly high minded and hon
orable man, and is eminently worthy of
being enrolled in the category of Irish pa
triots. The funeral procession moved u
few minutes after nine o'clock from the
residence of the Lord Chief Baron, Merri-
on Square, East. His Lordship was so
bowed down with affection that he was up-
able to accompany to the grave the re-
mains of his dearly beloved son. All tho
judges at present in Dublin attended; the
clergy were largely represented and mem
bers of the literary and artistic societies
were present in great numbers.
OUR SEA COAST FISHERIES.
Some time sin ce We called attention to
the hardships suffered by our poorer fish
ermen and the loss sustained by the coun-
try generally owing to the absence of all
aid in the development of our sea-coast
fisheries. We are very glad to note that a
bill to amend the law has been brought in
by Mr.. Downing, the Marquis of Hamilton,
Lord st. Lawrence and Colonel Vandeleur
They propose that the Treasury shall ad-
vance to the inspectors q sum not exceed
ing in any one year E5OOO. This money
per cent. per annum to fishermen for build
ing, purchasing, or repairing boats, gear,
curing houses, harbors, slips, piers, etc.
The loans may extend over ten years and
bills, bonds. ETC., shall be free from stamp
duty. When the inspectors discover that
the loan has been misapplied, they Gao
compel the borrower To repay the money
and 5 per cent. interest. The inspectors
may make such rules and regulations as
they consider, will best enable the provis-
ions of this act to be carried out. We sim
cerely trust the Irish members will make
strenuous efforts to carry the bill through
this session.-Dublin freeman.
AN AMERICAN INVASION.
During the last fortnight large NUM- ers
of young people of both sexes, but princi-
pally females, have returned from America
to visit their friends in the old country,
and it is now no unusual thing to see the
fashions of Broadway "figuring" at our
country chapels. The visitors express no
I'M ention of remaining, but, as if by ar
rangement, they were seized with an I'M
comfortable desire Of seeing old friends and
scenery, and have carried It out. They in
tend returning at an early day, in most
cases accompanied back to the States by
friends and relatives. They are generally
we'll provided with funds, and present an
appearance and bearing Of which Ireland
may we'll feel proud. We need scarcely
say that If anything were needed to give a
fresh impetus to emigration it has been
this visiting of relatives from beyond the
seas. An old bachelor says the girls have
come over to get Irish husbands, which
may possibly have been the case in many
