The Temperance Crusaders In New York.

There will be bloody murder here, as sure as
you live, If the temperance crusaders try the
same tactics in New York that they have used
with so much effect in Ohio. New York rum
sellers are, as rule, a pretty rough lot, and
just the sort of fellows not to stand any nom

river, and probably ten thousand barkeepers
besides, so the praying women will have their
hands full il they open campaign here

Great Meetings of English Catholics in Response to
RusselPs No-Popery Meeting.
From the London Tablet I

The challenge given by Earl Russell and his
No-popery followers was promptly answered
by the Duke of Norfolk and the Catholic laity
of Great Britain. The two meetings of the
9th of January were amply met by the four
simultaneous meetings of the 9th of February.
Speaking of the meeting in st. James Hall
| alone, the Times of Saturday, February 7tb,
showed its candor in saying that it lost moth
ing by comparison with the No-Popery assem-
blage. We will venture to repeat what we
said last week, that the two anti-Popery meet
ings were utter failures both in quantity and
quality, and we will now say that the meeting
in st. James Hall alone was both in quantity
and quality of SO high kind as to efface alto
gether the attempt to revive among US the No
Popery cry. But the chief meeting in ST.
James Hall did not stand alone, three other
meetings, at which the same resolutions were
passed, were held simultaneously.
Long before the meeting in ST. James Hall
commenced, not only every seat was filled even
to the highest galleries, but no standing room
was left and the passages and staircsses were
SO densely crowded that it almost impos
sible to move. To provide against this emer-
gency, another room had been taken adjoining
st. James Hall, and the church in Warwick
street had been prepared to receive the over
flow of the meeting. Both were densely crowd
ed; chairman and speakers had been pro-
vided for each meeting. Great numbers crowd
ed at the door, seeking in vain for entrance.
1t then became necessary to lead off the crowds
to Trafalgar square, where a meeting of over
two thousand persons was held in the open
air. So much for the quantity of this demon
straton.
Next, as to its quality. 1t enough to say
that not one old hereditary Catholic name was
absent. Almost every one of the chief Catho-
lie families of England and Scotland were
represe nted by one more of thrir mem bers.
And, in addition to these, every Catholic fam
lily of more recent date Mas represented. More
than tits, there were present depni irious from
the chief cities and towns at England aud
Scotland. Though many ladies aud nthers
were present, the meeting was composed pre-
dominsntly of men. Every class, from the
highest to the lowest, was Dumerously repre-
scented. The sympathy expressed by other
countries was conveyed by numerous kilograms
from vnstouS peEts Of EuEiand, Scotland and

A SUNBEAM-Th greatest of physical para
doxes is the sunbeam. 1t is the most potent
and versatile force We have, and yet it behaves
itself like the gentlest and most accommoda-
ting. Nothing can fall more softly or more
silently upon the earth than the RAYS of our
great luminary-not even the feathery flakes
of snow which thread their way thron Oh the
atmosphere as if they were too flmy to weld
to the demands of gravity like grosser things
The most delicate slip of gold leaf, exposed as
a target to the SUMS shafts, is not stirred to
the extent of a hair, though an infants faint
est breath would set it in tremulous motion
The tenderest of human organs-the apple of
the eye-though pierced and buffeted each day
by thousands of sunbeams, suffers no pain
during the process, but rejoces in their sweet
ness, besses the useful light. Yet few of
those rays insinuating themselves into a mass
of iron, like the Britannia Tubular Bridge,
will compel the closely-knit particles to sepa.
rate, and will move the whole enormous fabric
with as much ease as giant would straw.
The play of those beams upon our sheets of
water lifts up layer after layer into the atmos-
phere, and hoists whole rivers from their beds
only to drop them again in SHOWS upon the
hills, or in fattening showers upon the plants.
Let but the air drink in little more sunshine
at one place than another, and it desolates a
whole region in its lunatic wrath. The marvel
is that power which is capable of assuming
such a diversity of forms, and of producing
such stupendous results, should come to us in
so gentle, SO peaceful and unpretentious o

meeting. He said that he had no faith in the
women's war. The Total Abstinence Union

years. Societies of ladies and of children
were organizing in the churches on the basis

large number of men took the pledge.
