Mrs. Nj. y. johnson, editress of the

fersonville, Ind, was sued for libel by
one Fisher, for calling his whisky

statement true, and the jury was out

The National Temperance Advocate
says: The inmates of the Inebriates'
Home of Kings County, issued an
earnest appeal to the " Ladies of every

The temperance cause is growing in
Knoxville, and much good is being ac-
complished. Yet a great deal remains
to be done, and If the membership of
the different churches would take hold
as they should, they could make them
selves very useful.

Extra session OF the senate

1t Is definitely decided that there i to
be an extra session Of the Senate. The
Republican Senators have resolved to
postpone the consideration of the Haw-
allan treaty until after the 4th OF March,
and it is known that the President will
call an extra session OF the Senate for the
purpose of considering the treaty. This
action has of course no reference to the
necessity of any extra session of both
Houses in the event of the failure OF any

The general verdict about Father New
mans pamphlet is that il IS far superior to
Mr.. Gladstone's in controversial skill, for
the eminent reclusc Of the Birmingham
Oratory has long been known as the most
able controversialist OF his day. But heunly
succeeds in maintaining his position 10y
drawing distinctions fer too subtle to be APP
preciated by the mass of his co-religioni.t
and entirely repudlated by other Roman
Catholic writers like Mgr Capel. Father
Newman limits Pupal intallibility in a way
which 10 the extreme ultramontanes must
/ be offensive. He may be right, but if so
they can not be. Oue must admire this elo-
quent, conscientious and scrupulously
moderate theologian, and regret more than
