THE DUcAL MARRIAGE The proposed an
nuly to the Duke of Edinburgh. upon his mar
rage is naw before the British Parliament. 1t
devolved upon Mr.. Gladstone to make the mo-
ton for an additional annuity of e25, 900 for
the Duke of Edinburgh, and 10000 for the
Grand Duchess, should she survive her hus-
band. MIR. Gladstone when he made the mo-
ton intmated that it would destroy all the
gracefuness of the act if there was any discus
sion about it, and he tried to throw little dash
of sentiment over the proposal by assuring the
House that the contemplated marriage was
one of genuine affection. There were, how
ever, some stubboru-headed. men present who
could see nothing in the motion but an annual
demand on the Treasury for EDS, 900, and they
opposed it with great violence. Mr. Gladstone
could do nothing, and the 'gracetuness OF the
act was forever destroyed. The motion came
up again last night, and was attacked more
fercely than before although it passed to a
second reading. And now the people have
taken up the question, aud many of the large
manufacturing towns are presenting petitions
praying that the proposed annuity may not be
granted Yesterday great mass meeting was
held in Hyde Park to protest against the pas
sage Of Mr.. GIadstone's bill.

AN INHUMAN PARENT.-About the lst of
July there was born unto Robert Reynolds, re-
siding over Third street bridge, child, which
was deformed in its legs without hope OF its
ultimately being restored to its natural shape.
Reynolds has been much addicted to drink,
and his wife stated under oath, that be had
failed to provide her with the necessities of life.
They have been married little more than a
veal, and after the ceremony Mrs. Reynolds
went to live with her husband, at his mother g.,
but she says she was treated so badly by him
that she was compelled to return to her Own
home. 1t was here that his first child was
born, and soon after its birth the father was
sent for, in the hope that the offspring would
reconcile him to his wife. and lead him to
abandon his old ways for higher and a better
life
But the sequel proved that it had just the
opposite result When the child was brought
into his presence and the nature of its de-
formity was shown him, he at once conceived a
dislike to it, and endeavored to prevail upon
his wife TO poison it, he Offering to furnish the
poison. This she refused, with true motherly
instinct, to do. Reynolds then declared, so his
wife says, that if she would not join him in a
conspiracy against the child's life that be would
procure the poison and commit the deed him
self. Strict watch was therefore, kept over the
child to prevent such an inhuman act, until
Mrs. Reynolds was able to come up to town;
and 80, on Saturday last, she appeared before
Esq Publ, stating her grievances.
A warrant was issued for Reynolds arrest
and, on the oath of his wife, he was held in
$500 for Court, in default of which he was
committed to New Castle = mington Com.

Paying for Seats in Churches.


To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
This que stion, which is being discussed In your
columns, is, in my opinion, what "Catholic" calls
in last Sundays HERALD an "abominable CUSTOM"
but it does not seem to be properly understood yet
In the first place let me say that at even the
early masses charge is made in many churches; /;
at some it varies according to the time for in
stance cents for early Masses and 10, and in
even 20 cents for the last. The charge for seat is
bad, but II tnat were all it would be more excus-
able; most churches. however, charge on entering
the church; now, surely any one ought to be able
to go inside without payment, and II small fee Is
then charged for a seat it Is not so Objectionable
Unfortunately there is considerable difficulty,
for inasmuch as the catholic worship is very ex-
pensve to carry on, funds must be raised in some
way, and there are many, to their shame be 1t
said VINO, II they had Tree seat, would put a
penny in the plate and be satisfied they had done
their duty. MY opinion is that If some OF the
clergy would try the experiment OF giving free
slttings, however, and impress on their nocks the
duty of supporting the expenses of the church,
they would eventually find their receipts as high
as under the present '.abOmnable custom" and
avoid much scandal. ANOTHER CATHOLIC.
