MURDER AS ONE OF THE FINE ARTS
Mary Ann Jutt, a domestic servant, in he,

class of persons which has made ENGLAND
infamous among nations. DR.. Lankester's

We hear (says tho Uniuerse) much of
scotch intellectual superiority and of the
boast OF universal Cafedonian education.
But it appears that the schoolmaster is re-
quired north Of the Tweed az we'll % south.
a dePlorabie accident occurred lately at
the Drumpellier Tunnel Coalpit, Coat
bridge, which resulted in the death of a
child ten years of age, and this was the
result OF strange Superstition. It SCENE
that there is a notion prevalent among the
GOLFERS that the confined air of q coal-pit
acts as a powerful curative for whoopino-
cough. Acting upon this idea collier had
taken his son down to the upper seam of
the pit where he was working, in order that
the boy might have the advantage of the
attributed remedial virtues of the vitiated
air in curing severe cough. After being
down for some time the child left his fathers
sue IN search of drinking water, and hav-
ing IN the dark proceeded in the direction
of the shaft, he walked right into it, fall

and his body otherwise fearfully mangied.

"A gross outrage against religious liberty
was some time ago committed at the ROYAL
dlpernlan School to a Catholic orphan NV
the commandant Of that institution. In
the presence of about four hundred persons
an A9nus Del was taken from him in the
puoiic parade ground. This boy had been
sent from the Waterford Poor-law Union
under the promise that his religion wonld
not be interfered with. A memorial to the
Lo"d Lieutenant was adopted at that Roard
the other day. 1t was well said nv Alder
man Redmond, who seconded the motion.
that such an insult to the Catholic religion
must not be tolerated.
Why" said he, "should the religious
Practlces or the little children of soldiers
be tempered with in establishments snn9

In the United Kingdom. To be sure. it
may be SAID that they are not left in the
hands OF the Catholic boys, though the Ca
thollc chaplain states the contrary, I con
tend they are not fit for either Protestant
Or Catholic. If we wish to promote good
leilo"ship In the country, if We desire that
our people should love one another, we
must put aside offensive books. Mt least in
the schools: In these great poor-law in
situations throughout the country, to which
we are elected, none of us would tolerate
objectionable books, as against any body of
Christians, for one instant.n

sacrifice, and it brought consolation in the
cheering thought that their sufferings had
! borne fruit. An address from Queenstown
; affectionately rendered them esteem and
coincidence; named them faithful regener-
ators Of their native land; and expressed the
hope that at no distant day the acclamations
OF the free would give them welcome on
their return. By the Amnesty Association,
which had labored with such untiripg zeal
to free them from the torment of the Brit
ish Jail, they were assured that in the years
which had elapsed since the doors of the
convict dungeons closed behind them,
Irishmen of all creeds and classes had
learned to appreciate their fidelity and de-
votion to the cause they had at heart. "Tbe
| whole Irish race" the address declared,
protested against the continuance of your
imprisonment as a wrong. The
whole Irish nation believe that the day is
not distant when the decree of your ban
ishment will be rescinded by the Irish ma
ton, and the voice of a free and united
people will welcome you back to your
country and your homes"
These words, and many more, as full of
the eloquence that belongs to deep sinceri-
ty, and as passionate with the ardor of pa
triotic hearts, were said that day to the de-
parting exiles by their conntrymen; and
they form not the least striking element in |
an inspiring scene, a scene of which every |
part had its share of weighty meaning. |
The lesson of it all remains behind for us
and for our rulers. For us there is les
son familiar to us all, and, therefore, the
more dearly welcome. 1t tells anew that
the yearning fos our freedom-the master
passion of our race-is as true as ever, and
more strong than ever now. Itjustiies us
and inspires us. Our lesson is thus mes
sage OF encouragement; but that which
the event of Sunday addresses to the
Government is full of condemnation
and of warning. We say nothing |
ut this time of its proclamation of the folly {
which cl0gged freedom with the weight of
exile. That folly will yet reveal itself in |
shapes of bitter retribution. But what !

C.-Have the adherents of your Holt

The Pope-I have great reason to bt
gratified with the conduct of tho vast ma.
jorty. Out of tweDty-six individuals en-
four took the oath Of allegiance to Victor
Emmanuel. Again, out of $50 persons en-
ployed in another department, only sixty
five took the oath and altogether, out of
I2OO employees, no more than 100 took it.
The Papal government, it may be remark
ed, exacted no oath from any Of its en-
ployes, except those who were prelates.
The Roman nobility, with few exceptions,
proved their ardent devotion to my per-
son, and even of those who had given in
their adhesion to the new order of things,
two-Duke Massimo and Prince Doria-re-
fused to take the oath.
C.-Did any take an active part in the

The Pope-NOne of the bishops, and only
very few priests and monks while the
churches in Rome continue to be daily

must regard as a proof that the people are

GATHoL1cIrY IN CH1NA.-George Thin,
Catholic nuns in Tsien-T sin, China, saws ::
"The missionaries have had considerable
success in their work, the Catholics in China
probably numbering several millions. It
requires a less mental effort for Chinaman
to become Catholic Christian than to be q
Protestant. The ceremonial is something
tangible; there is something to do, and
when it is done his mind is at rest. There
may be other causes, but this seems to me
to be the chief cause of the success of tie
Catholics. Their religion, furthermore. is
not of very demonstrative kind. A SER

The Plan of Public improvements.

The lateness of the hour at which we receive
the plan Of improvements for the District rec
commended by the Board OF Public Works to the
Legislature, fOrbids any extended notice of it,
but we judge from haSty inspection that its
main features viii be acceptable to the people
of the District, and especially to the large por-
zion who desire TO see comprehensive, perma-
nent, and at the same time economical system
Improvements carried out
Under our municipal system we have been
eSpending enormous sums of money on so-called
improvements, and have nothing to show for it
For the last two years the sum thus frittered
away may be set down at $50 900 annually,
aside from the heavy amounts paid in special
taxes Enough has thus been wasted within
few years to have paved and severed every street
in the city, ON some comprehensive, harmonious
and economical plan, such as the Board of Public
Works recommend Tbs plan, it win be seen,
eontemplates permanent improvements in every
portion Of the District, provides a general
s!stCm of sewerage well, and for pa
wing central streets and matchmaking others
4 he general Introduction of wood or other ex-
rensive payements is discouraged, and the board
..ToPOse to carry out the system OF improvements
n as economical a manner rs is compatible with
thoroughness and durability.
The plan Of the board, it viii be seen, contem-
plates the completion of this grand systemof inn
proyements without a dollar of increased tax
upon property-hOlders; feature that will GER
tainly commend itself to the favor OF the tax
payers who have in the past been bled to supply
funds that have been positively thrown away.

EUROPE IN DANGER PROM THE REDs.-De-
spatehes from Paris speak of the reorganiz alton
OF the central committee, and say that its proc
lamations had caused much dismay. 1t is also
said that there are multiplied indications of a
renewal Of the insurrection that the soldiers are
openly insulted by the workingmen, and that
assassinatiOns and incendarism are continually
attempted The International Society, which Is
at the bottom of these manifestations, also
prompted the anti-Papal riots at Brussels, and
eighty-six members of that society have been
arrested by the Belgian government. The same
association Is also active in Spain, and likewise
in Rome, where a plot for the assassination of
the Pope has been discovered. 1t was concocted
in London, Florence and Paris by members of
the society.

Council, who yesterday offered an amendment

with the recommendation of Gov. Cooke in his
message, and the proposition commends itself to
every sensible man as the best means of MAIN
tanning the credit OF the city and enabling the
negotiation Of loan on favorable terms. Here
tofore there has been no plan, system or inteIli-
gent supervision; everything has been at loose
ends, and when there has been a need for money
to pay interest, salaries of Sehool teachers, Sc,
&c, the Mayor, in default Of any adequate pro-
vision for the emergency, has been Obliged to
sally out on shining expedition to raise the
needful for the time being.

Interesting Reunion.

Forty years ago the alumni Of Ohio Univer-
sity, located at Athens, Ohio, then numbering
sixty-seven in all, resolved in body that in
twenty years from that time so many of them as
were alive and could do 50 should meet again on
the college green Time rolled rapidly away,
and at the end Of the allotted Of years only
about one-half of the original number were liv-
ing, twenty-three or twenty-four of whom as
sembled together in 1851, according to agree
ment. At that meeting il was resolved to meet
again at the end of another twenty years, which
point will be reached on Thursday next, the 22d
instant So far as we can learn, only about
thirteen OF fourteen of the old set remain and il
is understood that nearly all Of them have ar
ranged to be present.
OF the original sixty-seven, many have filed
important and honorable places in life since
they separated in 1881; and of the comparatively
small number still left, most are well and IA
yOrably known to the country at large, and in
deed beyond its boundaries. Ofthose best known
10 our readers we may mention Hon. Thomas
Ewing, (who was the first student graduate
there); Bishop Amcs, of the n. E. Church; ex-
Representatives W. P. Cutler, of Ohio, and G..
W. Summers, of West Virginia; Judge j. w.
Wright, OF this city; Hon. Charles T. sherman,
L. 5. judge OF the northern district of Ohio; and
ex-Assistant Attorney General T. Lyle Dickey.
at the meeting on Thursday addresses win be
delivered by Judge Sherman and Judge Wright
What the topic Of the first named gentlemen
will be we have not heard, but we understand
that our tOwnsman viii discourse of Forty
Years Ago" taking occasion TO contrast the Gus
toms and styles and the state OF the sciences art
and literature of that time with those of the
present day. The subject is arieh and fruitful
one, and those who know the speaker best are
most confident that it will be treated in an in
teresting, unique and humorous manner
That the old boys may have a good time, eyery
body must wish, and that those who desire il may
be spared for another meeting as well! But the
thought awakens melancholy reflections Twenty
years hence, how many Of the little band wiz be
here TO answer roll-call?

General Spinner Is beginning to find out how
1t Is himself. The story comes that calling at
the banking house of the Rothschilds in London
he was required to send in his card and await
his turn in getting sight at one OF the managers.
swhereuPon he left the concern, Indignantly, say.
ing they didn't treat dogs that way In his coun-
Try. The General is mistaken; at least that Is
precisely the treatment meted out to American
citizens here, even though CANNES escape it.
Not at General Spinner's hands, however. He
Is guilty Of no such weakness. His ONCE door Is
always open, and himself accessible to all corners.
But nearly every popinjsy bureau officer under
the government has adopted and keeps up the
absurd custom with which Gen. Spinner 30 justly
finds fault. The General viii accordingly
please apologize 10 the red shield brothers.
