Hood and his writings, and the talk was
delightfully."- free and easy. There was large and
appreciatlve audience, but Mr.. Macdonald could
not have been more AZ home with his hearers had
he been in drawing room, around the freside
with few friends. instead Of with nearly
two thousand eager faces looking INTO his
with an in:entness OF interest that knew
no weariness. Mr. Macdonald Is a Scotchman,
with Scotch face scotch beard and scotch ac-
cent, and. what is said TO be very rare In Scotch
man, remarkably quick perception OF humor.

not only to Hood, but said that the man who would

THE CONCERT SALOONS.
Another "Pullo by the Police Last
Night.


Night.
Captain Clinchy, OF the Fourteenth prccicnt,
arrested all the proprietors OF concert saloons in
his precinct again last night. The raid in these
dens was made precisely IN the same manner as
the one on Saturday night, and was highly success
lul. The men and women in the saloons were com.
plctely taken by SURPRISE Nothing like a second
descent was expected. All were taken to the
station house. but the women were DISCHARGED
and the prOprietors and barkeepers only locked
up. The police evidently mean business this time
and II Is better late than never. More horrible or
disgusting holes were never permitted among
civilized community than these concert saloons
The police were well aware Of the character OF the
places, and yet they were allowed to remain upon
the principal thoroughfare OF America for a long
time, standing disgrace to the people. A good
deal OF sympathy was felt for the women who were
taken out OF these saloons on Saturday night be-
cause they were marched to the station houses In
the attire they arrived at the saloons in but it is
now plainly visible how much they were really de-
serving of that feeling. No sooner were the sa-
looms open last night than back they nOcked to
their old haunts. 1t is mistaken clemency
to let them CO. and no good viii eventually come

easy victim. one woman who has worked in the
place called the Canterbury is said to be worth
$4,000, all made IN this way. This should certainly
serve as sufficient warning to men with money in
their pockets to keep out OF these holes ana not
trust themselves In such hands. The police will

the ToDbs this morning.

| CASE OF CoNscIENCE.-The Yicar-General
OF Montreal has published the answer of a
private tbeologian at Rome, Professor De An
gels, to a case of conscience which he had sub
mitted to him. 1t was this The Provincial
Assembly of New Brunswick has passed law
establishing secular schools, and depriving the
Catholic schools of tile grants which thew
have hitherto enjoyed. The Catholics. who
form about quarter of the population, will
thus have to contribute to the secular schools
which they cannot use, and to support their
own as we'll. They have, therefore appealed
to the Dominion Parliament, which must ratifv;
the new bill before it can come into force.
Can, then, q Catholic member of the Canadian
Parliament in conscience vote against the ap-
Pellants? No, replies Professor De Angelis
frst, because the Federal Assembly is compe-
tent to deal with the question second, because
the proposed law is an oppressive one, and op-
posed to the equality of the citizens before the
State; nor can it be answered that this con-
Germs only the province of New Brunswick, for
injustice is not lessened by the fact that it is q
minority that suffers, and, moreover, in Con-
each member has equal rights. Nor
is Catholic bound only not to oppose the
appeal, he is bound also, in Prof. De Angelis's
opinion, to do oil in his power to further it.

last Sunday, announcing that this 6istin-
guished priest was at the point of death.
the greatest anxiety has prevailed with re-

to learn from the Rev. P. F. Allen, Pastor
OF st. Patrick's Church, for whom Father
Burke is to give mission and deliver a
series of lectures in the early part of next
January, that he is now rapidly recovering
from his recent severe illness. The Free,

Father Burke's illness:
We are very sorry to hear, as we 20 to

A foreign contemporary records reply OF
Prince Won Bismareks about the persecution OF
the Jesuits. which, whether true or not, is
characteristic enough. Several of the expelled
Fathers have been, as is we'll known, decorated
or specially reported for their bravery and de-
votion as military chaplans on the field OF
battle. Some one, it is reported, observed to
Prince Bismarck that the cross which these
Fathers will carry with them into exile will
be a proof of the ingratitude of the German
Government. "ln politics." the Prince Chan
ceitor is said to have replied, zone should
never talk sentiment; if the Jesnits had taken

not say the words, he is carrying out the
thought.

The number of young ladies Throughout
this country, who yearly desert the world and
devote their lives to the attainment of that
perfection which can only be found in rett-
gious life is truly astonishing. At the Convent
of the School Sisters of Notre Dame, Mil
waukee, forty-five candidates were invested
and received on the 22d uft. And at the Ger
man Church of st. Alphonsus, philadelphia, on
the 21st nit, twenty young ladies devoted
themselves to serve God under the patronage
of st. Francis of AssissiuHl.

respect to the state of this years potato crop.
The blight is not yet universal, and fortunate

by the time he entered the church every avail

and chairs had been placed in the aisles, else
many of the audience would have been obliged to
stand. Amongst the audience we were pleased

THE PRESBYTERIAN AND INFALLIBILTTY
Ne regret that the severe illness of the
gentleman who has thus far conducted the
controversy on Infa'libility with the Pres
SyteriGn, necessitates further postpone
ment of the publication of its last article
and our reply thereto. During the sum-
mcr months this gentleman has been resid
ing near Madisonville, to which place there
IS but one mail day, and that closes at 10
o'clock on Thursday. AS the Presbyte,ian
is Published on Thursday and is sent us
through.the post-ofice, it never reaches us
iii about l2 o'clock, too late to be mailed
that day, and hence too late for answer in
our issue Immediately following. We used
80 send to the Office of the Presbyterian
every Thursday morning for copies Of the
paper, so as to favor it with an immediate
reply, but having found that it was invari-
ably closed till after 10 o'clock, we finally
gave up the attempt. AS the gentleman
referred to Will probably return to the city
about the lss psoximo, the Presbyterian will
have an opportunity of judging whether
our zeal has cooled just when the contro-
versy is becoming interesting"
