The New York Tablet (Catholic) is still dis
cussing with Henry Ward Beecher the
''Rights Of Conscience and pitching into the
HERALD for ventilating some Of t.ae alleged
abuses in the management OF the Calvary
Cemetery. Its advice to the complainants
who express their grievances through the
HERALD is as follows:-

The Boston Pilot (Catholic) elaborates on
the Female Army Of the Future" in which
the gallant editor, with unusual ungallantry,
proclaims that
We have enough cripples and idiots and un-
healthy women now IN the country without getting
regular reinforcement every November, and an cx-
ua0rdlnary one at Presidential elections.
The editor Of the Pilot is evidently not
counted in among the womans rights shriekers.
The Pilot claims that the Irish are read
ing people, and are able to support their own
papers without Ring aid" from any quarter
Here is declaration from the Pilot, credit
able to its independence and furnishing as
surances Of its popularity among the great
Irish-American reading population:-
The Pilot is the most extensively read Irish

The Jewish Messenger notices with COM
rnendation the fact that among the first acts
Of tho Grand Duke Alexis on his arrival in
this city was to attend the Church of his
fathers and offer up his thanks for his safe
deliverance from the dangers of the sea. The
Messsnger adds
The dangers OF the sea We do not know whether
that beautiful idea is borrowed from Judaism, but
centuries since It formed part OF our ritual one
OF the periods prescribed or Offering thanks was on
arriving on shore after a sea voyage With many In
Israel that thanksgiving Is placed on the shelf OF
oblivion. They consider themselves wiser than The
prince who acknowledged his HUMILITY before the
God OF nis alteration. Perhaps his example may
give better tone TO their feelings, aud cause them
on slniiar OCCASIONS and even ut all times to pour
forth their nearts' best emotions to lsrael's God.
The Standardization Journal, o sheet
which, although not essentially religious
organ, frequently gives some practical hints
on religious themes, has this week an editorial
on the subject Of ''Races and Religions" in
which, after going over the earlier days Of
Christian iriumphs and Christian prosecutions
In Europe, especially where they claim his
toric relationship with the progress of Chris
tanity in Germany, concludes as follows:-
