There is less difficulty about tins Princes of Ihne.

From the Spectator.

The Osservatore Romano, generally be-
lieved to speak under precise orders from
the Vatican, calls upon all Catholic Powers
to aid the Turks, 1t appears to consider
that the war is one between Islam and
Russia, and contrasts the federation of the
Turks for the Catholic creed with the in
tolerance of the Russian Government in
Poland. That is truly, though seIfshly
said but there is no proof that the Serbs
would perscoute the Catholic Christians.
They used TO do so, but an arrangement
appears to have been arrived at between
the faiths for q certain federation. 1t Ger.
tainly exists in Montenegro, the Miridites,
a warlike clan Of Catholic Albnnians,
having this time refused to assist the
Turks, though tempted with large privile-
ges, and having allowed one OF their
leaders to Join Prince Nikita's staff. It is
worth while for Englishmen to remember
that the immense majority of Servians are
not Catholics, and that the influence of the
Vatican is, on the whole, on the Turkish
side.

not do their duty. First, he has introduce
ed into the Bill a declaratory clause that
it is the parents duty to send their children
to school between the ages of five and
ten, unless there be some urgent reason,
or reason of health, against it. And next,
he has introduced q clause making it i'm.
perative on Town Councils and Boards of
Guardians to appoint School-Attendance
Committee, for the purpose of watching
and reporting the children's attendances
and failures to attend, though these Com
mittees are not to have any power of en-
forcing the law and spending money, duties
which are reserve to the whole body.
Lastly, Lord Sandon is establishing Day

machinery of compulsion much more easy
to work. On the whole, we regard the
Bill as greatly strengthened. 1t now con-
