resigned before the election the very snu place
OF revising barrister for the city of Dublin.
His zeal for the Tory cause will probably not
be 80 hot in tho future. The judge, in the
course of his Judgment, commented with great
severity upon the habitual perjury OF 'the
Orange north" In the south of ireland, he
said, whenever there was false swearing there
was generally . substratnm of trnth; but in
tho north there was open, uuabashed, unadul-
terated perjury. The Orange organs are ex-
ceedipgly annoyed with him for saying 80 but
1t is because they know he told the truth.
Mr. C. G. Doran, T. c.. Queenstown, very
patriotic Irishmau, has set on foot a move
ment for sending Irish trades delegates to
Philadelphia to report upon the improvements
i n machinery, ETC., at the Centennial Exhibit
ton and the project has attracted the earnest
and active sympathy of the trades of Cork aud
of the late Mayor of Cork, Alderman Maggie.
But the affair is nevertheless humbug, though

Amongst recent deaths, that Of Patrick Nc
Mahon, in London, deserves to be pronsih6ntly
noted. Mr.. MoMahon was successful member
| of the English Bar, and was the junior counsel
for the Tichborne claimant in the great trial at
bar. He was also q good Catholic and, as
representative first of Wexford county and
| then of New Ross, was one of the hOnestsst Of

eulogizes highly Mr.. McMshon's career. MI

movement; yet he must have been an advocate
of Irish national independence in one shape or
another. have heard that on his death bed
he wonld have none but an Irish priest attend
him. Hereto refer to another matter-it

is now acting as the Roman correspondent of

Two great meetings have been held this week
in the Tenant Right iuteresU-one at Nenagh
and one at Navan. AT both places the clergy
were we'll represented. In the neigh borhood
of Nenagh Lord Dunally is behaving so badly
that his own nephew, the Hon. Wiifrid O'Cai-
lagbsn, NJ. P. for Tipperary, denounced his
conduct towards his tenants as grossly tyran-
meal, shameful and unjust. In the neighbor
hood of NavaD tho Catholic Lord Gormsnstown
is accused by the clergy of reducing his Catho-
lie tenantry to n condition ofabsolnte serfdom
aud from all I can learn the accusation 10 only
too we'll founded These meetings have set
sthe landlord party wild; but what has set
them wilder still is the fact that this week
committee has been established in Dublin under
the auspices of Mr. Butt for the express pur-
pose of Publishing to the world the misdoings
of the landlords. In aid of the expenses, 1
may add, one man-Mr. Patrick Bolaud of
Capel street, the man who supplies half the
city with bread-has offered a subscription Of no
less than { 100 a year. This looks like business;
and, indeed, never was there more needed an
effort to stay the hands of the exterminators Of
. the ancient race"
The Rev. Father Kinane, c. c., Templemore,

Oar Lady at L0Htdes a beautiful offering on

gan, of Dame street, in this city, and costing
