The Tablet is up in arms against
some of the English papers for their
exhibition of what the editor regards
decidedly bad taste in rejoicing over
what they consider the misfortune
that is Detailing the United States in
the decreased immigration hither. We
quote:
ait is a country, says one, where
people either starve to death or are
burned alive In theaters or railway
carriages "A good field for China
men, says another. Well, this land,
we admit, is paying the penalty of its
own folly, extravaganza, passion and
misgovernment; yet it is not phenomi-
nal in so doing. Very few people
starve to death among u.s. And tie
number broiled in the Brooklyn thea
ter or the Ashtabula accident make
but "A small percentage OF forty mil
lions. 1t seems to us that some OF those
English editors lose temper when
speaking of America, chiefly because
so many victims Of British misrule
have found a refuge here, and have not
forgotten nor condon8d the wrongs
which drove them into exile"

A Fountain ora Spire.

Virginia New Enterprise: Last
evening, about O'clock, the eyes OF
hundreds of persons on the streets were
directed toward the top of the spire
of the new Catholic church, where was
seen a fountain spOuting numerous
lets high in the air. a large iron pipe
is carried up through the steeple ana
IN the large cross surmOuntlng the
same. The pipe then takes the form
of the cross, behind which it Is hidden,
aud from holes perforated at properi in
tervals, the Jets are sent up. From
the top of the cross and the end Of
each arm, largest cams ascend to the
hight of about twenty-five feet, and
between these are thrown up number
of smaller jetsg The height of the
ton of the cross from the ground Is one
hundred and seventy feet, and last
evening, the night being calm, the nu.
merous jets spread on in the shape OF
a fan, The rays of the declining sun
fell upon the Jets and sprays at just the
proper angle to light up and bring out
the whole in beautiful roseate glow
which surrounded tn top of the cross
like a glory. This novel fountain was
not constructed for mere ornament. IL
IL intended for use, In case, OF the
breaking out Of large fire, as q pro-
tscion to the spire and the roof of the
church. tits but the work Of q mo.
