The arrearages which the Spanish Gov
eminent has announced its intention to pay
to the Roman Catholic clergy OF Spain
amount to E7,000,000. The salaries OF the
clergy have not been paid since 1868. The
disagreement over the meaning OF the rell-
reconsideration act continues. The Bishop
OF Minorca, in the Balearic islands, where
the chief trouble has been, has issued q cir
cular enjoining the teachers OF primary
shoots not to admit the sons OF Protestants
or OF any others who do not accept the
Catholic faith.
The School Committee OF New Bedford,
Mass, allots at the utmost only forty pu-
pills to teacher in the grammar schools,
which is q smaller number than is gene
rally allowed. The. superintendent says !:
:. Economy in the number OF teachers en-
ployed is secured at the expense of the
scholars characters and brains. For where
intelligent, thorough INSTRUCTION, and de-
nominating moral influence are looked for,
from twenty-five to thirty scholars is the
utmost number to which one teacher OF
average ability can do any sort Of iustice.n

The Mississippi.


The latest news from the ietties at the
Southwest pass Of the Mississippi is that
the shoal ut the head Of the pass is rapidly
disappearing. The results thus far Of this
great improvement have been wonderful,
and as gratifying as the most sanguine
friends of the improvement could have de-
sired. -. ~
The effect Of q deep and safe channel from
New Orleans to the Gulf must be somewhat
like 4 revolution in trade. The introduce
ton Of steam upon the Mississippi made
that river an artery Of commerce powerful
and unlimited save for the distractions OF
shoals at the exit into the Gulf. The project
OF Dir. EAnEs Is now about to relieve the
river commerce from this obstruction, and
we may look, for great changes in the course
OF trade. The vast production OF the Mis-
sissippi Valley win find its cheapest outlet
blythe Cult. The winter transportation by
that direction will exceed In quantity all
precedent, and exert an influence upon
ocean markets that will make great aItera-
hons In trade. fsss 1910

ne PIPER M,ssissippi Is locked by Ice. In
thus, TIE Virginia route would be NOT onsy
great advantage to q large part 81 III

several other gentlemen, upon q young
lady. Her father was also present, to
assist her in entertaining the callers. He
did not share his daughters scruples
against the use of spirituous drinks. for
he had wine to offer. The wine was
poured out, and would soon have been
drunk, but the young lady asked "Did
you call upon me orupon papa"
Gallantry, if nothing else, compelled
them to answer, "We called upon you"
"Then yo1 will please not drink wine

The father urged the guests to drink,
and they were undecided. The young
lady added. Remember, IL you call upon
me, then you drink lemonade; but if
upon papa, why, in that case | have
nothing to say"
The wine glasses were set down With
their contents untasted.
After leaving the house, one of the
party exclaimed, "That is the most effect
