AT HOME ABRoAD.-The travel between New |

creased by the establishment of direct lines
between this port and Liverpool that 1T is

they reach terra firma on the other side. AS
to the transit there is no question. Every one

splendid Ocean Steamers. In fact the extreme
comfort and enjoyment of the passage renders
| still greater the necessity of falling into the
| right hands after getting ashore. Inferior ac-
Communications aud attention would afford too
strong contrast with the sea voyage, aud leave
a bad impression on the mind. People, therefore,
who dou't want to run tine least chance of be-
ing disappointed ought to fnd out from re-
turned travellers where to come to anchor
when they reach Dublin. For our part we
have heard the most enthusiastic encomuims
upon the Morrisson's Hotel of that city. They
, say that an America finds himself perfectly al
home there. The establishment itself enjoys
the same relative reputation in Dublin thai
the St. Charles does here, besides making {

Women.

Now a day there seems to be consider
able agitation on this subject. Even ID
England, the women's rights movement Is
making Roadway, and the probability is
that if things go on in this way, they Will
yet manage the men more or less. Not
withstandng the fact that almost every
body is acquainted with some woman or
women, and that women certainly kno"
themselves very well, there appears to be
cresd deal of confusion on the snhject OF
their rights. In fact it would seem that
many of them a,e uncertain rs to wha

Rev. Father Ryan.

We must, with regret, call attention to
the withdrawal of Rev. Father Ryan from

weeks ago we received from him insfruc-
tions to the same effect, couched in direct
language and leaving no room for hesita-
ton. We therefore complied, and removed
bis name from the head of our columns,
wbereupon our Board of Directors took
stens to obtain reconsideration of his ac-
ton. But, notwithstanding all their Efforts
the circumstances explained in his own
card of withdrawal have rendered the
course taken by him Imperative.

Cumulative Voting.

In a place in England called Hartepool |
there was recently held an election for |
School Board Directors. From the election
returns we Judge that the votes in the
town stood about as follows, divided by
Churches ;-Churchmen iEpscopaIians)
1000 non con formists (other Protestants)
$50; Catholics 275. According to the
usual way of voting it was clear that the
Catholics had not shadow of a chance to
elect Director to any one of the nine va
cant places. They elected one, however,
and by the highest vote on the list.
This was, OF course, done by the cumula
tive system of voting where each man has
as many votes as there are places of one
kind to be filled. In Hartlepool there
were nine places to be filed on the Board
| therefore each man had nine votes. In
that way it became possible for the Catho-
lie interest to cast ,524 votes, as it did, fol
