What Catholics Demand.

h The province of New Brunswick has an I'M
|eviable reputation throughout the Dominion
of Canada. Here, few years ago, the foul
|epirit of religious intolerance was evoked and
h the unhappy Catholics saddled with a school
System resembling that of the United States,
/ with all its most obnoxious features. Time,
and the strong denunciation of this New
Brunswick spirit by all the other provinces of
the Dominion will, it is easy to see, remove
this exception to the otherwise liberal Gov
eminent north of the St. Lawrence. Hon. T..
w. Anglin, a Catholic gentleman of Irish birth,
is Speaker of the House of Representatives at
Ottawa. In his paper, published at St. Johns,
N. B., he briefly sketches:
WHAT CATHOLICS ASK.
We once more state briefly what Catholics
ask and what they do not ask. =
"a They ask that the money they pay as school
taxes shall be devoted to support schools in
which their children, in addition to secular
obstruction, equal in all respects to that given
pa other schools, shall receive religious edu-
cation.
They do not ask that the money of Protest.
ants shall be used in support of their schools.
They do not ask that Professionals should
adopt any other school system for their chill
dren than that which they themselves prefer.
They do not ask that any Protestant liberty
should be impaired, or that any Protestant
right should be infringed upon.
They do not seek to bring Protestants under
the power of Pope or prelate.
+ They do ask for fair play and cven-handed
Justice; for this and only this.
They do not ask that the present system be
maintained or abolished. They are willing to
accept Justice under the present system,
snch Justice may be conferred by repeal of
the existing law.
The Governments, with hardly an exception,
of the New and Old world and notably the
Government of Great Britain, we'll as COM
mon sense and justice aud truth, all declare
that their claims reasonable fraught with
danger to the rights or liberties of none; with
peace and good will to all.

sentiment:

FOREIGN PIsc1CULTURE.-The cultivation of
fish in British waters is showing very favor
able results. The rivers are full of fish, and
salmon in large numbers and in the best con-
diton brought to bank. The first four
days of the present season, in the harbor sta
tions near Aberdeen, produced more fish than
were captured during the whole of the first
month last year: The present generation has
never seen so abundant a supply of salmon in
London in February as was to be found during
that month this year. A few years ago from
three to five shllings per poand was no IN
common price for salmon in February now
splendid fresh salmon can be bought for a chill
ling pound. In distant Tasmania also pisci-
culture gives very fair promise of success.
English river trout, Matched from eggs sent ont
by Messrs. Buckland & Francis, are now fairly
naturalized in Tasmania and New Zealand
rivers; and fish which has been pronounced
by competent authorities in Tasmania to be a
real salmon grilse, weighing two pounds four
teen ounces, has been caught in the river Der
went. The lucky fisherman who captured this
fish received from the colonial government the
proffered reward of ESQ for the first salmon
captured in Tasmania.

relief from pain, it may produce general rest

La Pahfe publishes this important piece of
news: "It is we'll known that lie Progress du
Nord, Radical paper is at present undergoing
trial from two quarters at once. On the one
hand layman is prosecuting it for publishing
false news, and on the other seventeen mem
bers of religious order are attacking it for
having printed in a recent number, an anec-
dote of it's own invention against ecclesiasti
cal morality This action is the commencement
of new era il the annals of the French
clergy, and the commencement of a general
measure of defence Every time the Church
shall in future be attacked with that deplora-
BILE violence which seems chronic with certain
of our newspapers, the interested will prose-
cute the editor in the name of the whole eccle.
siastical body. It is to be hoped that an end
will thus be put tc this abominable system of
calumny which has been permitted to go on
unnoticed for so long time that people begin
to mistake longanimity for weakness or fear"
La Pdtrie is right, but it does not know all. 1t
is not only in the name of the entire ecclesi-
cal body that these suits will be conducted,
but in that of the united Catholic Societies of
France, and it is expected that this fact will
have very beneficial influence on the French
Liberal press, which is at present but too de-
lighted when it can pervert some fact or invent
some story so that it may throw discredit on
religion and it's ministers.

"MY ORDERS ARE TO PUNCH ALI TICKETS
One of the principal men of the st. Paul and
Sioux Railroad got on the morning express last
week The conductor had never seen him, and
consequently did not know who the gentleman
with the gold beaded cane was. In a moment
after the train started, the conductor passed
through, and among others he patted the rail-
road capitalist on the shoulder and said -
Your ticket, sir {"
The capitalist looked up at the condu tor
hnd said:
- carry my ticket in my face"
Again the conductor demanded his ticket,
when the capitalist said as follows:
81 tell you, sir, 1 carry my ticket in my
face" at the same time pattng his cheek with
his left hand.
Every WE'LL" said the conductor, placing
himself in n Heenan attitude and pushing up
his sleeves, my orders ara to punch all tickets,
and here goes yours"
How the matter was settled reporter
failed to learn.

How TO TREAT FRUIT TREEs.-Monsieur Ed.
Prilleux has recently discovered q simple and
efectual remedy for restoring to their natural
state fruit trees threatened with decay by the
production of gum, which, as is we'll known,
is supplied at the expense of all the matters
which contribute to the growth and transfer
n. Prillieux that fruit trees, even dangerously
affected by the Rum-producing disease, may
be restored to healthy state by simply scarf
flying the bark, and in making longitudinal
Those incisions, acting upon the tree more
vigorously than the cause producing the gum,
necessitates the production of fresh tissues
Under this action, both rapid and vigorous,
the matters held in reserve are employed in
the formation of new cells, and are no longer
absorbed in producing gum. Active vitality
then rapidly resumes its regular course. An
interesting feature of this new method is that
1t is a direct application of the theory of
counter irritants to healing of diseased vege-
tation.

LOVE OF EEws.-In epite of the long
continued aud oppressive censorship to
which it's press has been subjected, no peo
pie in Europe to day is more eager for
news than the French. The English and
the Germans are models of patience in
COMPARISON with them. To satisfy this
intense craving of the public mind: the
French editor, if he lie short of reliable in
form alton, will sometimes furnish bogus
article, more readable and exciting than
pure and unadulterated truth itself The
love of news is an old trait of the French
character for Caesar, in his Commentaries,
mentions that ''the Gauls ran after strangers
and mobbed them to ask whether they had
any intelligence to communicate ADD this
practice became in time such nuisance,
by reason of the false rumOrs which OBJ
tanned credence, that among the we'll
ordered tribes, law was made enjoininG
that strangers should be fret taken before
the authorities, who would decide in their
wisdom what items of information had
best be kept secret" From this testimony
of Julius Cesar it will be eeen that the
modern interviewer had ancestors at one
time. In fact the modern reporter or
special correspondent is the Troubadour
of the nineteenth century-minus the gui-
tar.

Dryden and Otway were NOT ouly cUutempo-
raries nut near DeiShbors, living opposite to
each other in the same street. To MAINTAIN,
however, that either one or the other of these
two great poets was strictly exemplary, even
in his daily walk and conduct, to say moth
ing of his evening" recreari"ns, would, per-
haps, be maintaining too much. Dryden, on
reaching his own domicile late one evening,
and knowing that Otway was on hS e winding
way" bomewards, crossed over TO the latters
residence and wrote on his door
Here lives Tom otwsy--hes wit"
Otway was not too far gone fully to perceive
and appreciate the satire, and at once turned
round and wrote on Dryden's door
Here lives John Dryden-opposite.'
