COUNT MoNTALEMBERT TO COUNT Ca
voUR.-This seems favorable moment to
reproduce the following letter written on
the 18th of April, 1861, by the late Count
Charles de Montalembert to Count Cavour,
then delighted with the annexations &C.
quired and counting the possession of Rome (:
Signor Conte Carour-You may be the
masters of Rome, as were the barbarians
aud prosecutors from Alaric to Napoleon l.,
but you can never become its sovereign or
equal to the Pope. Plus TX. will perhaps
become Your prisoner, your victim, but he
will never be your accomplish. AS q pri-
soner he will be for you the most cruel inn
pedlment and the most sore punishment.
AS an exile he will be against you, without
having opened his mouth, the most terrible
accuser new. born nation has ever had to
encounter on the earth.
/ "The spectacle of this old man, despoiled
of patrimony of fifteen centuries, victim
of the BLACKLIST treachery, wandering
through the world in search of an asylum
which will hold him in place of the SPLEEN
doris OF the Vatican, in search of q roof
under which he can decree with the seal of
tne naaerman laws obeyed among the ma
lions OF the earth-this spectacle will raise
up against you and your accomplices In the
souls of the whole universe q tempest
which will engulf you after you have pre-
vionsly covered yourself with dishonor.
Take care that the Italians do not be-
come the Jews of future Christianity.
Take care that from the shores of Ireland
| to those of Australia our children may not
learn from their cradles to curse them, and
that the tiara may not become for the
faithful like the cross, symbol not only OF
sorrow and love, but also an ineffaceable
record of italian cruelty and ingratitude
"Do not delude yourself You think
you will attain the end, but you can neve,
be farther from it. You will draw on your.
self still more the attention, the afflictior
and the indignation of Catholic Christians
that is of the community the most numer,
Gus, the bravest and the most obstinate
that exists under the sun. With it yor
have already entangled yourself; with it
and not only with the Pope, you will have
| to treat.n

Of children a. above described. In the frst
Instance, the most essential point to be
considered will be sufficient funds to pro-
by the Government inspector for their
adeptability for the purpose stated under
the Actof 1858, and, when once certified,
the support, education, and training Of
dustrial pursuits, will be paid for BY q Go
vernment grant, enabling them, when sent
ont from those establishments at the age
of sixteen years, to earn an hoaest iveli-
hood and become useful membess Of socie-
ty. The schools already established in Ire
land are working exceedingly we'll, in
Clonakilty, cashel, New Ross, etc., and
giving encouragement to the humane and
benevolent in every locality to exert them
selves likewise in behalf of this class of chill
dren. This is indeed q most excellent
work, and being carefully watched by the
Catholic clergy, it is free from the danger
of being degraded to proselytism.

No recent archaeological announcement has
been of more interest than the discovery in
the small island of Anguilla, in the West In
dies, of fossil remains of extinct species of
vertebrate animals, among them rodents of
enormous size. These are closely allied to the
chinchilla, which furnishes the well-known
South American fur but instead of being of
about the size of q small rabbit, the largest
fully equalled o cow in it's dimensions consti-
tuting the largest rodent on record, and -con-
siderably exceeding in bulk the castoroides, OF
fossil beaver, of tho United States. Of the
remsins thus far identified by Professor Cope
there are five rodents, one deer and two birds
In the same communication Professor Cope
announces the discovery, in the collection of
the Smithsonian Institution, of new fossil
lizard, from New Mexico, which must have
been about one hundred feet in length, being
probably the longest known reptile.
The picturesque village of Beer, near the
chalk headland of the same name, so famous
of old for smugglers, is now celebrated for its
exquisite HonitOn lace. Here the Queens
wedding dress was made, ut q cost of $4,000 it
is composed of Honiton sprigs connected on
the pillow by q variety of open-work stitches.
The Princess Royal, Princess Alice and Prin-
cess of Wales also wore wedding dresses of
Honiton point made at Beer and the neighbour
hood. Capital workmanship in this lace was
shown at the International exhibition in 1862
but the patterns were conventional and clum-
medallions, and poor imita-
tions of nature. Hence may be traced in great
measure its decline in public estimation,
though its costliness must always kaiIitate
against fts geuorea use.r---

The first Sisters of Charity came to New
York in 1917, on the invitation of Bishop
Connolly, to take charge of an orphan
asylum. They now number 400 members,
with sixty-two institutions under their
control in New York, Brooklyn, New Jer-
sey and New Haven. The Mother House
is situated on Fort Hill, near Yonkers.
The principal establishment managed by
them in the city is st. Vincent's Hospital,
at the corner of Eleventh street and Seventh
avenue, which was first opened in 1S49,
and now has medical and surgical depart
ment, provided with $50 beds, where pa
tients are received at the rate of SO per
week for males and $5 per week for females;
besides, it Is claimed, as many free patients
as the charity of the public enables them.
The other institutions are St. Patrick's
Female Orphan Asylum. at the corner of
Prince and Mott streets, accommodating
200 orphans; St. Patrick's new Orphan
Asylum, Madison avenue and Fifty first
street, where there are go female orphans
st. Patrick's Male Orphan Asylum, Fifth
avenue and Fifty street, which has

and fourteen select academies and thirty
parochial free schools, where $4,000 chill
dren are educated.

The movement respecting industrial
schools in Ireland is making good progress.
A requisition has been signed by the Ca
tholic Bishop of Waterford, and by many
influential noblemen aud gentlemen, to
convene public meeting in hungarian,
with the view of taking into consideration
preliminary steps necessary for the pur-
pose of establishing one of the Government
industrial schools there. The law enables
magistrates to send to those schools all
male and female children under fourteen
years who come under the following heads:
LIST. Found begging or receiving aims
whether actually Oriunder pretence of SELL
ing or Offering for sale anything), or being
in any street or public place for the pur.
pose of begging OF receiving aims. I'd.
Found wandering, and not having any
home, or settled place of abode, or proper
guardianship, or visible means Of support
Sd. Found destitute, either being an or
phan, or having q surviving parent who is
undergoing penal servitude or imprison-
ment: The great object of the proposed
meeting will be the establishing of one of
those schools in Dungarvan for the moral,
literary, and industrial training of the class

ENGLISH BIGoTRY.-The bigots of Bir-
mingham, England, have howled out their
indignation at the appointment of Mr..
Monsell to the Office of Postmaster. General
because he is Catholic The London
Telegraph thus consoles those bereaved
souls:
Mr.. Gladstone has (ass these people ex-
press it, appointed as Postmaster General,
Immediately afoor the acquisition by the
Government Of all the telegraphic commu-
nications of the country, a Roman Catholic
pervert who has offered an estate in Ire
land as residence to the Pope" Surely
heard that messages sent by Protestants
have been unacco&ntably delayed since
Government has taken over the telegraphs;
but whether the neglect is due to the pres
sure of new work or to the fact, reported
everywhere, that Mr.. Scudamore is Jesuit
in disguise, and that important messages
are supervised by Archbishop Manning, we
cannot say. AT any rate one thing is above
doubt: all the private correspondence of
this great Protestant country, telegraphic
or otherwise, is now in Popish hands, and,
for aught we know, may any day be handed
over bodily to the Pope. Our only safety
now lies, in extreme epistolary prudence ;
We cannot be too cautious even in our most
confidential letters.
Surely it is cruel thus to sport with
the feelings of Professionals. Something
must be done. Where's Newdegate 7
Where's Whalleyf Where's even Charley Z
Let some champion arise before it is too
late.

A. DARING AMERICAN LADY.-The RO-
man correspondent of the New York Herald,
writing on the24th January, says:
Signs of hostility to the new regime are
beginning to develop. Yesterday the Car
dinal Vicar put forth a very ominous invito
sacro, which I saw posted up on the col
ums on each side of his palace gate, ihvi-
ting the faithful to celebrate the festival of
the Publication, and exhorting them to
turn deaf ear to the sacrilegious insihua-
tioDs of innovators and the heretical publ
cation now permitted to circulate in the
Holy City A crowd of people were collect
ed to read this document, and generally
approved of it; but, although the royal
party condemned it, they respected its in
tegrity, in accordance with the proposed
guarantees for the perfect liberty to be en-
joyed by the ecclesiastical authorities in
Rome in publishing all acts connected with
their sacred ministry. The Capitale was
confiscated yesterday for an offensive bio
graphy of Plus TX.
Other demonstrations hostile to the new
order of things might bementioned, such as
the daring appearance of an American
lady last Monday evening on the Piazza di
Spagna, with an enormous bouquet of white
and yellow flowers in her hand, which she
fourished, exclaiming, "Viva Pho Nonow
before the National Guard, just then re-
turning from their parade on Thea Quirinal
hill for the arrival of the Prince and Prin-
cess. The citizen soldiers were 30 full of
tri-colored enthusiasm that the Papal colors
rather irritated them, and the fair bearer of
them found it prudent to retire before the
advancing battalions.

METHoDIsTs VS.. CArHOLICS.-We Metro
politan Record have seen petition to the
President, soliciting the appointment of a
Mr.. butcher, Of Brooklyn, to the Office held
by Mr.. Murphy. The petition is signed by
thirty Eve persons, all clergynse,p, and these
clerical meddlers in politics assure General
Grant that the appointment of butcher
would be very acceptable to the public
generally and to the Republican party"
With perhaps half a dozen exceptions, the
Puritan petitioner sign themselves as min
listers Of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
At the time of Mr.. Murphy's nomination,
ence the Senate against him was, that he
was nominally, at least, Catholic. I'm
dOubtedlythe same bigotry is at the bot
tom of the movement to have him super
coded by butcher, who is probably q good
Methodist. This direct Interference in
politics by ministers is not exactly new
thing, -bnt the present step is the boldest
they have yet taken. A few weeks ago
body of small-fry politicians called at the
White House and requested General Grant
to put Senator Wilson into his Cabinet. He
promptly gave them to understand that he
intended to manage his own business, and
that there were no vacancies in the Cabinet.
We do not suppose that he will resent the
impudence II the New York and Brooklyn
Methodist preachers in the same way, but
we are quite sure that he should do so. A
President with a proper sense of right and
his dignity would administer to these i'm
pertinent clerico-politician rebuke that
would keep them from putting their names
to another document like that requesting
the substitution of a Methodist for Ca
tholic as Collector of the Port.

A New STYLE OF CHEESE.

A new shaped cheese is being manu-
featured at the East, and is 10 be intro
duced into the cheese factories in this
vicinity. Their form is an oblong cube !;
or the shape of a bar of CASTLE soap;
about five inches square ard ten inches
long, weighing about ten pounds. This
is covered with an oil skin which keeps
it moist, and may be kept enclosed after
each cutting. It is convenient size for
family use, and will, in measure, modi-
fly the practice Of buying from hand to
mouth, at grocery; pound or two at

bits of cheese, of little profit to the gro
Ger and unsatisfactory to the consumer.

A PROSE POEM.

The following poem from the San Fran
cisco Goldfn Era, is not now only HON.
eric style, but complete in itself, for it
ends with the total humiliation of the
com batants:
On pinewoodshed, in dark alley,
where scattered moonbeams, shifting
through row of tottering chimneys, and
awnings torn and dropping, fell, strobe

tail aud spine upheaving in fantastic
curves, and claws distended, aud fatty

tinantly told of impending strife.
With eyes arrim and screeching blasts
ofwar, and steps as silent as the falling
dew, young Norval crept along the splin-
tered edge, and gazed moment through
the darkness down, with tail awag trium-

Approaching each other, and with
