The annual meeting of the British Associa-
ton for the advancement of Science has been
held this week in Belfast. 1t attracted to the
Northern capital considerable number of
sarans. The President this year is Professor
Tyndall, an Irishman and may here mention
that several of those who have taken the most
prominent part in the proceedings of the Asso-
citation have been Irishmen a1so-for example,
Lord O'Hagan, Sir William Wilde {the husband
of "SperanEa ~, Professor Jellett, of Dublin
University, Professor Stokes, one of the most
eminent Scientists in England, etc. The Presi-
dents address was a paper-very eloquently
composed-in exposition and support of Oar
winism, atheism, and materialism, here and
there, of course, containing fierce denuncia-
tions of the Bible and the Catholic church, and
even calumnies on the church. On Sunday the
Protestant and Presbyterian preachers in
Belfast denounced the Professors views but
they were themselves denounced in turn by
Professor Huxley-another Atheist-the fol.
lowing day "as ignorant and prejudiced." The
papers are full of the controversy, and some
very good fan is poked at Professor Tyndall by
various correspondents. Bnt the most remark
able paper read at the meeting so far is that of
Sir George Campbell, ex Governor of Bengal
on what he calls the Privileges Over Land
Wrongfally Called Property" From this title
you may guess the nature of the essay which
strongly supported the claim of the Irish
farmers for tenant right IN their holdings.

St. Stephens Parish.
7. J. c..

At the request of the Rev. Clergy, a. few of
the most jealous members of st. Stephens con-
gregation assembled in the Parish Hall, imme-
diately after High Mass last Sunday, in order
to consult as to the best means of complying
with the public appeal of the Society of st.
Vincent de Paul in behalf of the afflicted
people residing in the overlooked parishes of
the State. The meeting WAS organized by
calling Mr.. L. A. Fouriner to the chair, but
being only preliminary, action was taken
except to appoint committee of seven gentle
men to prepare the congregation for the special
appeal to be made to them to-day. This COM
mittee consists of Messrs. L. A. Fouriner, A. G.
Blanchard, a. Leo, T. s.. Elder, E. Dore, C. d.
Elder and j. NJ. Flynn. II was arranged that
all donations should be left at the Presbytery
adjoining the church and Mr.. Leo generously
offered the use of his wagon to haul any
package that might be inconvenient to carry
otherwise. Before adjonrning Mr.. I. S. Elder
gave q very touching statement of what he
had beard from one of the sufferers by the
flood. He said that many families were, by
the rising water, driven to their 1ofts, and in
some inRtances to their very roofs, where, with
their poultry and portion OF their live stock, |
they had to remain from two TO three months
supporting life upon what they could rescue
from the floods, in some instances floating off
on RATS to gather moss aud young tWigs from
the neighboring forest trees.
After the subsidence of the waters they began
to plant potatoes, and other vegetables,
but yet nothing has grown, because the soil
is filed with worms which destroy every
sproutinga plant. Some farmers bave already
planted eight times during the mer, and
yet have not raised an ear Of corn or a single
potato!
1t is impossible to form a correct idea of the
amount of suffering entailed upon the people
by this disastrous overflow, which has not
snIy ruined the ground, but carried off domes-
tic utensils and agricultural implements, SO
that both men and women find Themselves ut
terIy unable to provide for the wants of their
Iamilies. This 10 an age Of calanlties floods.

A resolution was offered to the effect that
the impression which prevailed with refer
ence to delay in payment of taxes of 1874,
beyond the time fixed, to wit: the 18th
day Of June, would be advantageous to

distinctly understood that no extension Of
time would be allowed, and that nothing
but cash would be received in payment OF
the same.

There is a section in our Revised Statutes

Of course the police officers could not de-

by coroner's jury next morning, when you
would be discharged. We don't want you
particularly to give the coroner job, but

Not = Drop to Drink.

GrOwler's attention has been called to the
sact that no ice water is to be found on the
4 o'clock train on the New Orleans and Mo-
bile Railroad. In weather like this, it would
seem that humanity would prompt the Su-
perintendent to place water on the cars. A
lady, lately a passenger, stopped at Missis
sipi City, where there is a refreshment sa-
loon near the road, and feeling very thirsty
(there being no water on the train), she en-
tered and asked tor glass of water, which
he waiter refused to give. This is about as
heartless as anything we have heard Of
lately, and we would suggest that barrel
Of water and some ice be sent over. to the
polite saloon keeper.

MIX and Water.

Dear Growler-Would you be kind enough
to let me know the reason of peculiar cir
cumstance which has lately been called to
my attention. During the late drouth all
my neighbors, as well as myself. noticed
that as the scarcity of water increased, our
milk became more and more discolored. This
fact has never before been noticed by farm
er's clubs, and ask you for an explanation.
Mrs. TAPS.
There can be no doubt that this is re-
markable case, but may not the fact that
the water put into the milk is poorer than
usual, be the canse. We don't blame the
cows, innocent creatures, because they prob
ably did their share Of the work, but the
milkmen ought certainly to furnish at least
pure water with their milk.

There is q large collection of debris on
Common, between Magazine and Tchoupi.

Pond fire, which is a great impeachment to
business and complained Of bitterly by the
surrounding merchants. The stone crossing
also at the corner of TchOupiJoulas and
Common streets is out of place and needs
immediate repairs. The attentioD Of the
proper authorities is called to the above
facts.
From Yesterdays Evening Editien
A CORRECTION.
This mornings edition contained an item
headed "Cut with Knife" in which it was
stated that Joseph Hartnett knocked down
Dougherty. Mr.. Hartnett says that such
was not the case as he had neither club nor
knife. That the difficulty was forced upon
him and he only acted on his rights.
Last evening, between the hours Of and
9 o'clock, while Mr.. J. Casper, accompanied
by his wife, was strOlling along Rampant,
near Common street, he was suddenly
confronted by white man, who pre-
scented, without saying word, a pistol
at the heads of both. Aroused by the
screams Of the lady, who, luckily was ouIy
seriously alarmed, people living in the vi
conveyed her in fainting condition into q
house near by. As usual, the police were
wanted, but not to be found, and in conse-
quence the wOuld-be assassin, or, to say the
least, the highway robber, quietly secured
his pistol in his pocket and made of.

Dimculty At Lake End.
Yesterday morning, about half-past 10
O'Clock, difficulty occurred at the Lake
end, Bayou st. John, between James Dover,
Dennis O'Brien and a man unknown, in
which Dover was cut in the left side and
groin, and also had the thumb Of his right
hand bitten of. Dover was taken to the
Charity Hospital to have his wounds
dressed. He refused to make any charge
or prosecute the parties, therefore no arrests
were made.
Double Larceny.
Florence Brown was yesterday arrested,
being charged by John Simmons with the
larceny of 81 10. Officer Slabowsk, who

DEvNEs'S DENTIsT.-Olive Logan writes
from Paris: "Among the opera singers who

monds to get out of the country (for in those
times Italian opera was at discount in the

of those money-making practitioners who
get such prices as they like for their work,
merely because they have succeeded in
establishing reputation among wealthy
people. Some journals in their zeal
for news announced that it was
likely Devries would appear on the
stage after her marriage, as SOntag did, as
Nilsson and Patti do; whereupon the lady
wrote rather sharp letter for print, emphat-
ically denying the rumor. The report other

plause showered upon her at her last appear
ance. She is scarcely married, however, be-
fore a most vexatiOus affair occurs, which
must let her see that though the stage is

other PROFESSIONALS also have their little I'M
pleasantnesses. Her husband gets into some
trouble about his dentistry work with pow
erful family, high words pass, and he is
almost thrust out of doors by lackeys. What
is worse, the matter gets in the papers, and
the rich dentist is called some very Odious
names. I should think this must be almost
as bad as for ones Marguerite or Mignon to
be coldly received by an unsympathetic
people,"
