alist, in view Of Bishop Cummins and
his fellow come-outers, to add, as n

Episcopal Church is, can see by going

til, remarkable fact that at the
recent general election in Great Brit
ain not a single Roman Catholic was
returned by any constituency in Eng
land, Wales or Scotland. The solitary
Catholic candidate was a Mr.. Kerr, at
Glasgow, and he wasdefeated. This
is the more noticeable, seeing that
since the Catholic emancipation of
1929, which admitted Catholics into
Parliament, nine gentlemen of that re-
ligious persuasion have sat for differ
ent English constituencies. In Ireland,
out Of 105 members, nearly one-third
are catholics.

furnish, in the manner least ineonver-
lent to themselves, usually on the near
est plantations or farms, or those where
opposition was not to be apprehended.
The farms of soldiers were generally
under the management of women, and
therefore were not unusually drawn up
on for much more than their proper
ton. Hence it was not uncommon
for soldier to be written to by his
wife that so much of the food he had
provided for herself and children had
been impressed, that it was necessary
that he should return to save them
from suffering or starvation. Such a
summons, it may well be supposed,
was never UNDECIDED. The suffering
of the soldiers themselves, produced
by the want of proper clothing, drove
many of the least hardy out of the
ranks. Want of food also is said 70
have had the same effect, especially
in the army before Richmond in the
last winter of the war. 1t was by
such causes, all due to an empty treas
ury, that our armies were so reduced
in the last months of the war. As to
the charge of want of loyalty or
zeal in the war, assert, from as much
opportunity for observation as any in
dividual had, that no people ever dis
played so much under such circum-
stances and with so little tagging for
SO long a time continuously. This
was proved by the long service of the
troops without pay and under expos
ure to such hardships, from the causes
above mentioned, as modern troops
have rarely endured; by the voluntary
contributions of food and clothing
sent to the armies from every district
that furnished regiment; by
the general and continued submission
Of the people to the tyranny Of the
impressment system as practiced-
such tyranny, | believe, as no other
high-spirited people ever endured
and the sympathy and aid given in
every house to all protesting to belong to
the army or to be on the way to join
it. And this spirit continued not on
ly after all hope of success had died,
but after the final confession of defeat
by their military commanders. But,
even if the men of the South had not
been jealous in the cause, the patriot
ism of their mothers, and wives, and
sisters, would have inspired them with
zeal or shamed them into its NANTES
tation. The women of the South ex-
hibited that feeling wherever it could
be eXercised-in the armies distribut-
ing clothingmade with their own hands,
at the railroad station and their own
homes by feeding the marching soldi-
ers, and, above all, in the hospitals,
where they rivaled Sisters of Charity
! am happy in the belief that their
devoted patriotism and gentle charity
are to be richly rewarded.

As an Illustration of the increasing
value of walnut lumber, the Indian
apolis Journal notes that the standing
walnut trees on a half section of land

amount of other timber on the tract
which is not included, only the walnut
timber being sold. Walnut lumber
is coming more into use throughout this
country and Europe, and at present a
very large business is done in prepar-
ing and shipping it from Indiana.

Boston sugar Trade.

The sugar trade of Boston, according
to the Journal, exceeds that of any
other kind of business. The following
figures show the receipts at that port in
nine months of 1878 and 1874 1873,
56, 10 hogsheads, 571, ,245 bags and
baskets, 1890 boxes 1874, 80, 1875
hogsheads, 283. POI bags and baskets.
8, 851 boxes. BY this it will be seen
that while the hogsheads have increased
80, ,OO5 in number, or nearly 100 small
cargoes, the bags and baskets have de-
cIined from 1873 more than one-half.
Last year the receipts of India sugars
were immense, and the importations re-
suited in enormous losses to all pur-
chasers. This has caused almost a
cessation of purchasers in these quar-
ters this year, although the receipts
of nearly 100000 packages in nine
months of 1874 was fully up to the
average.

Lewis Richardson, young man resid-

cat succeeding in shooting him. 1t
happened in this wise: Richardson took
the cat in his arms and carried it to a
point near the railroad woodshed, in
tending to shoot it. The cat proving
fractions, he held it with one hand while
he put the revolver between his knees
and cooked it with the other hand.
Just as he finished this part of his task.
the cats tail caught in the hammer,
and, in attempting to free her tail,
pulled the trigger, and the contents of
the revolver cut her tail in two and en-
tered Richardson's leg"
