chit HIM AGAIN, HE'S IRISH !"-Speak-
ing of the German Peace celebration in
New York, on Easter Monday, the Sun
.(presumptive independently, INDUCES in q
broadside at the Irish, after this style:
question. Why do the Germans let the Irish
govern this city The Teutons are much more
numerous, more rich, more educated, more in
telligent than the Fenians; and yet the latter
predominant, and lager has no show before po-
theen. There are only three or four Germans
in all the big. and little offices that Tammany
has to give, and who can count the Irish who
have got mighty rich out of the people of this
town. What is the reason y
The Sun is as much an organ of Know
Nothingism as was ever the notorious Ned
Buntline, in the days of his advocacy of
wearing breastpins and other articles OF
ieweIry in the shape of snakes and scor-
pions, instead of articles fashioned like
crosses and other symbols of Christianity,
adopted as adornments of refinement, which
it was feared might symbolIze Catholicism
and the followers of Christ. The Irish
might as well understand that they have
no friends among the political mountbanks
of this country, and that when capital is to
be mate out of the German OF negro voters,
the Irish element will always come under
the bann of the Know Nothings. The
above is fair Specimen of liberalized
logic, coming from a paper of boosted in
dependence, and which has probably more
readers among the class thus insulted
| sneefed at and derided, than any other o.

THE IRISH IN AMERIcA.-Mr. L. w.
Marshall, or, as he is universally called in
America, DR.. Marshall, better known in
England for his great work on "Christian
Missions" for his abilities as o writer and
his zeal as a Catholic (says the London
Tablet has been lecturing with great sue
cess to immense audiences in the United
States. Among other topics he has chosen
Ireland: his audiences are counted by
thousands in Boston, New York, Philadel-
phia and other cities. We single out the
following passage, not so much as q
specimen of Mr.. Marshall's style of lectur-
ing, as trait highly creditable to the
crowds of Irishmen, who received it with
cheers and the most hearty goodwill and
approval. 1t is u proof of the deep Ca
tholic spirit which responds by instinct to
the highest Catholic instinct:
1t is true that am an Englishman speak
ing to Irishmen, but am also q Catholic
speaking to Catholics, and identity of faith
has more power to unite eur hearts than
difference of nationality to divide them.
What, then, should be our feelings towards
the nation which has sinued so deeply both
against English and Irish Catholics Shall
we cherish the spirit of vengeance and hos
| ss Vengeance is sweet" says the proverb !;
but, though it is a popular, no one will ven
| ture to affirm that it is Catholic senti-
ment. 1t was not the sentiment of our ia
theirs in the faith, the primitive Christians,
who, during three centuries and ten
bloody prosecutions, lived in sore distress,
and died at the stake or in the flames, yet
never uttered a curse upon their persecu-
tors nor lifted hand against them. They
produced, during that long lapse of time,
| an army of martyrs, but not single con-
spirator, not a solitary assassin. If you
know one such man in the first three ages
of Christianity, ask you his name. They
also might have la ken-up arms against
their oppressors, but do you know what
would have happened if they had done SO ?
They might have triumphed here and
there, but at what cost would they have
obtained their victory7 The Church
would have no martyrs, and the world
would have remained unconverted. 1t was
| by quite other weapons that they con-
quered, and they conquered 30 effectualy,
that at last their old enemy, the Roman
Emperor, himself a convert, went to seek
a new home by the shores of the Bosphor-
GUS, leaving the children of the martyrs to
reign in peace, under the Vicar of Christ,
by the banks the banks of the Tiber.
Similar glory is perhaps reserved for you,
but you must win it as they did. Trust to
an arm of flesh, as some counsel you, and
you will sink at once to the level of your
adversaries, and cease for ever to be the
"apostle people," Take your choice, but
you cannot be two opposite characters al
0Rce. Avenge yourselves, if you will, but
in that case, do not expect God to do it fol
you. You will conquer, as the primitive
Christians did, but you must do it by the
same means, OF, as sure as the Catholic re-
!, ligiOn is true, you will not conquer at all

! DECREASE OF BIGoTRY.-We perceive
that even the London newspapers have
come to tho opinion that Good Friday is
not observed es BELTS so solemn day.
The Daily Ne,cs says:
Except a few sacred, instead of secular
| concerts, and the closing of the theatres,
Good Friday is day of universal merry
making and jollity for the mass of London
ers.
The Pail Mall Gazette, too, which gener-
ally has such hard words to fling at any
thing which it thinks blamable which takes
place in Catholic countries, is forced into
the following remarks ON the subject Of
Holy Week, called by Protestants Passion
Week:
1t is worth considering whether it would
not be possible to observe Passion Week
with just little drunkenness Fasting, OF
self-denial of any kind, is of course out of
the question, but there seems to be no good
reason why the season should be celebrated
in this country by exceptional brutality.
"In this week." according to Chrysostom,
"many increase their labors, some adding
to their HASTINGS, others to their wachings;
others give more liberal aims, testifying
tho greatness of the divine goodness by
their care of good works and of more in
tense piety and holy living" If Chrysos-
tom could see bI8ckneaCn now on GOOQ
Friday he would observe with surprise that
in this week many increase their libations,
some add to their bad language, others to
their violence, and testify their reverence
for the solemn fast by urging wretched
half-starved donkeys and ponies to an I'M
natural speed by oaths and bludgeons.
Glutony on fast days might be dispensed
with. Let it be admitted that fasts are
feasts, but let them be conducted, at all
events, with some semblance of decency.
The writer (says the London Uniuerse),
omits all reference to tho sports at various
public places, and to other matters by
which the sacred day is dishonored. A few
days before Good Friday the Bishop of
Southwark called the attention of his con-
gregation to the scandalous Dissertation of
Good Friday in London. The Bishop of
Cork, in strongly-worded pastoral letter,
condemned the conduct of the officers Of
dragon regiment in arranging races for
Holy Week. What would his lordship say
to the fact that in many places in England
(some of them near London) races have
been habitually run during the same week.
Well might the Archbishop of Westminster
say last Sunday in his sermon that Christi
anity is to great extent sinking out of
view in this country, which is ever ready
to fling the first stone at other nations.

The " Burlington Route so called, lies right
in the path of the star of Empire. 1t runs almost
in the center of the great westward movement of
emigration. Crossing Illinois and Iowa, it strikes
the Missouri river at three points.
These three points aIe the gateways into three
great sections of the trans Missouri region.
The northern gate is Omaha, where the great
Pacific road will take you to the land of gold and
grapes, sunny mountains and perpetual summer.
The middle gate is Plattsmouth, which opens
upon the south half of Nebraska south of the
Platte river. a region unsurpass ed on the conti-
nent for agriculture and grazing. Just here are
the & NJ. r.. r. Lands. concerning which Geo.
s. Harris the land officer at Burlington Iowa, can
give you all information, and in the heart of them
is Lincoln, the state capital and present terminus
Of the road.
The southern gate leads to Kansas, by c0nnec-
lions with the ST. Joe Road at Hamburg, running
direct to St. Joe and Kansas City.
The trains OF the Burlington run smoothly and
safely and make ali connections. 1t the

The new Drug Store recently built by
C. E. Davis, is now nearly completed.
1t is being finished off in magnificent
style. He is sparing no pains or expense
to make it one of the finest stores of the
kind in the Northwest. OF the counters
we can say nothing less than that they
are the handsomest we ever saw. In
fact, the whole store is being finished
throughout in the most modern style /.
The credit of originality of the design is
due to the head Of Ii. Q. Cotton, whose
ingenious hands have wrought very
large share Of the labor. The store Is
twenty feet wide, eighty five feet deep and
fourteen feet between joist.
Mr.. Davis will soon move his extern
sive stock into the new store, when we
may have occasion to speak of him again.

Farmers. Right rms way.

The Advance Machine is offered for
sale by C. H. Mccormick d Co.. for the
Harvest of 1871. They are the Oldest man
ufacturels of reapers in the world-having
been in that business for 25 years. The Ad-
vance is the only combined machine in use
that reaps, rakes and mows equally well. 1t
is two wheel macbine-has two cutter bars
one feet wide with steel faced guards and
keen edged knife, for moving. The other 5
feet wide, with malleable guards and serrated
sickle, fer reaping. The rake revolves with
the reel as one OF the fans until it brings the
grain past the sickle. Whatever grain falls
on the platform is sure to be raked off in
good shape let the straw be six feet long, or
but six inches.
These machines are warranted to be as dun
able as the Old Reliable, and will cut from
IL to Is acres per day with an average pail
OF horses.
