ment.

Last Monday evening St. Patrick's Hall was
literally crowded with auditors drawn to-
gether by the reputation of Rosa DErins
(Miss Rosa O'Toole) as an accomplished vocal.
ist and musician. It was found, long before
the performance commenced, that ell the seats
provided for the occasion were occupied and
that heavy Importation of chairs would be
absolutely necessary to accommodate the nm.
broken stream of visitors that kept pouring in.
This provision was soon made by the very
courteous and attentive gentleman who COM
posed the reception committee, and some two
Thousand persons, as we heard estimated by
numbers of experts, were comfortably seated.
Miss Rosa held her audience apparently
sreu-bound for couple of hours, which is
saying great deal for an entertainment sus-
very easy to charm a crowd with variety. A
curtain succession of solos, duos, tries, quar-
tetts and instrumental pieces, all we'll selected
and moderately well rendered will bs sure to
entertain any audience, but for the same result
to be accomplished by single artist requires
vastly more ability. 1t is evident that Miss
Rosa has a superb voice and holds it uuder
fine control, while her skill as pianist and
organist is remarkable.
We congratulate the amiable beneficiary as
we'll on the complete success which crowned
the undertaking as upon the friendly interest
in her welfare with which she has inspired our
community.

The Bankrupt Law.

The news that the repeal of the Bank
rupt Law is go nearly an accomplished
fact is one on the most hopeful signs of the
times. There are exceptional periods when
commercial failure, like an epidemic, fas-
tens upon people. A season of general
disaster carries down the strongest houses
and most strictly honorable business men.
In such times men are scsrcely responsible
for their inability to meet obligations, and
1t is but reasonable that government should
intervene to relieve them from an iucu-
bus of debt which would incapacitate them
from future exertion and usefulness.
But this cannot be said of ordinary times.
Generally speaking men must take the
risks of their own choosing and stand by
them. If q mans plantation is devastated
aHd his crop ruined by q tornado, the gov
ernmsnt has good grounds on which to
remit his taxes, but II the same loss should
occur from mismansgement or miscalcula
tion of his own, the motive for clemency is
no longer the same.
There is no doubt that even in ordinary
times the most scrupulous and careful
business men are sometimes the victims of
pure misfortune with scarcely any accoun-
liability on their own part, and it would ap-
pear that they too ought to have q chance
of being relieved. This is true enough, but
human wisdom has failed as yet to invent
law which would afford such relief and at
the same time not give rise to abuses of far
greater magnitude than the good to be ef-
fected. Where one honest man finds re &.
lief ten or hundred knaves put themselves
and their money beyond the reach of their

said to work solely in their interest.

The Lenten exercises at st. Joseph's, ofHoly
Week particularly, were very imposing and
very we'll attended. Easter Sunday Mass was
said at 81 o'clock by Father Deynoodt. Over five
hundred persons approached the Holy Table.
high Mass was sung by Father Imsand, assist
ed by Fathers Sierra and Deynoodt, as Deacon
and sub-Deaoon. In the afternoon after o very
instructive and interesting sermon by Father
Deynoodt on the Gospel of the day, Father
Imsand gave the solemn Benediction of the Most
Blessed Sacrament. Truly Father Imsand and
his jealous assistants, Fathers Deynoodt, Sierra
and Kennerly, have great cause for joy to see
their earnest efforts 30 well seconded by their
spiritual children.

THE CRUEL LAWS OF ENGLAND.
London Week.

The most relentless appliances of the law
are put in force against the poor, and if
instant compliance is not made with the
claim of a landlord or other creditor, a
broker is put into possession and the whole
of the helpless debtors furniture is seized
and sold. The returns made of the amount
produced by the sale are "doctored" to
suit the broker aud his confederates. The
victim cannot help himself; he is too poor
to employ solicitor, too much afraid of
the law to appeal to it for protection. The
eale itself is a hole and corner proceeding,
huddled up among the broker and his con-
,federates. Furniture worth $50 may be
sold for S5. No doubt this is an offence
liable to punishment; but the poor man or
woman in debt is utterly broken down it
would be difficult to find more dispirited
or helpless creature in the world. The
other day, one of the brokers who carry on
the distress warrant business came, by
some accident, to grief. But for one case
of this wrongdoing and oppression which is
undetected. For debt of three or four
pounds the friendless debtor may have his
entire home broken up and his children's
beds sold from under them. In many an
instance dying wife has been truDdled by
the brokers' man from the bed to the floor,
and not vestige of furniture has been left
in the house. These are the things that
make people dangerous in time of national
trouble. They cannot always trace their
sufferings to the right causes, but they
resolve, instead of enduring these sufferings
any longer, to revenge them.

months ago the Professor permitted himself
to be persuaded into saying the Hail Mary
