TIE HARD WEATHER.

Not for many years has weather 60 severe
as the present been known in Ireland. A
heavy fall of snow, followed by hard and
continuous frost, has given decided check
to the ordinary course of business. There
is lees than the usual traffic in the streets
occupations. To a great portion Of the
community this is a matter of very little
consequence; some people rather like the
change from mild, sloppy weather to such
q freezing temperature as we have at
present, but these are persons who have
the means of making their homes warm
and comfortable, and who, when theyImove
out of doors, are we'll covered up and pro
tected from the cold. The case is quite diff
ferent with those who have scarcely spark
of FIRE on their cheerless hearths, who have
scarcely covering of any sort on their
wretched beds, whose feet are twell nigh
bare and whose raiment lie scanty. For
them this time of snow and ice is Ifar from
being the "6ne bracing weather" that some
people regard it; it is cruel, perishing,
killing weAther-weather that almost
freezes the blood in their veins and the
marrow in their bones, and racks many of
them with pains and tortures indescribable.
But they can be helped; they can be re-
lieved. The fortunate possessors of
abundance can come to their aid and
tighten tE pressure of their misery. The
spirit of the time is suggestive of this good
work. We are nearing the great Christian
festival, and even if at other periods of the
year the hearts of many amongst US are
not quick to feel for the sufferings of the
poor, at this particular time q benign and
holy influence touches them, and they
soften and expand with generous emotions.
We hope the present will be an open handed
time with all who can afford to give to
their poorer brethren. If they know net
themselves how best to beBtow their chari-
ties, they can fnd safe administrators of
them in the clergy, the nuns, and the ST.

WASTING Il PRINcELY cHARIrK,
THE INCOME OF A MILLION DOLLAR FUND
LOST TO ITS BENEFICIARIEs.

st. Louis, Dec 3I.-In 1851 Judge Bryan
Louis.somethipg over $500, 900, as a fund to
aid "poor emigrants and travellers coming
to st. Louis, on their way, bona .ttde, to
settle in the West" There was consider
able litigation over the property, and it
did not come into the actual possession of
the city till 1860. Then it was discovered
that the title of one third of it WAS defec-
tive. But this left over $500 600, and
$500, 900 of this was in the shape of pro.
ductive real estate.
All this vast property was made free
from taxation and put under the manage.
ment of Board of thirteen Commissioners,
with the Mayor of st. Louis member ex-
officio. The property has fully doubled in
value in the past eighteen years. and is
now estimated at fully 81 600. 900. The
EUeaing Post of this city (now the Post
and Dispatch), has been investigating the
administration of this gigantic trust, and
finds that it is total failure, 80 far as
benefit to emigrants is concerned. Its fig
ures chow, in fact, that it's income has
been swallowed up, all but minute frac.
ton, by it's expenses. The total annual
receipts of the fund from the year 1861 to
the wear 1873 are as follows:

fashion, aud every good sister will soon

many men of means pay little attention in
their dress to prevailing modes, but when
you find q woman babitualiy regardless of
the vagaries Of fashion you may safely
conclude that she has arrived at al age
that can be no longer concealed, or that
she has found out the vanity of all things
human and is preparing for happy death.
The folly of fashion is one of the first the
little girl embraces and one of the last the
woman reliDQuishes.

The total expenditures for the same
time amounted to $345. GAP. OF this only
ISL, $50 was applied to the relief of emf
grants, but there was spent $lF9 $50 for
improvements, new buildings and real
estate, and $50, 600 for salaries. 1t will be
observed that the receipts for 1872 amount
ed to $50 $50. and that the following year
they fell to S35 209. Since 1873 the annual
receipts have gradually fallen off, aud for
1879 will probably not be over $40 900.
The expenditures have kept up about in
the same ratio as from 1861 TO 1873, the
bulk of the revenue having been applied
to improvements aod purchases of real
estate. About the smallest expended is
that given ont in charity. There are not

highest amount ever paid cat to poor emf

THE CARDINAL CULLEN MEMORIAL.

The movement for erecting memorial
to the late Cardinal Cullen, being totally
devoid of political Significance, is one to
which every Catholic who knows what
great services the deceased prelate render
ed to the Church in this country can con-
sistently give aid. No one dreams of
giving to tho project any political aspect.
1t was quite impossible that so emip emit an
ecclesiastic, one so highly honored and
trusted by the Holy See, and 30 rich in
learning and in virtue, could pass away
from our midst without leaving in many
minds desire that something should be
done to perpetuate his memory. The move
ment which has been started with that
object is therefore only what might ustur-
ally have been expected to follow his
lamented demise. The proposal to erect
in bic honor come memorial of lasting
and useful kind-something 10 keeping
with the whole tenor of his life some
church, hospital, orphanage, or school
which should bear his name-has met with
large amount of public favor. The sub
scriptios-!ist which we publish in another
form to be taken by The memorial were
Gree IL finitely decided on and announced,
We think it proba Die taat great impetus
woulG be given 20 the collection. Mean
while there can be no doubt that the chief
feature of the memorial, no matter when it's
exact nature may be fixed, will, in the
words Of one Of the resolutions already
| dopted, "consist of come lasting work of
| pisty or charity ?" and to all intending
| subscribers this should be a sufficient in :
ducement to make their contributions as
same truly liberal and generous charao-
ter.

IRISH MAIL MXws.
Dublin Nation, Dec. u.

The Bristol election resulted in strik-
ing victory for the Home Rule cause. Mr.
Fry, the Liberal candidate, who pledged
himself to vote for what is know as Mr..
Butts motion, was returned by sweeping
ajority and it ia confessed on all hands
that that majority was supplied by the
Irish voters. He had some fifteen hundred
votes more than his opponent, Sir Ivor
Guest, who refu sed the demand of the Home
Rulers, and il is remarkable that that is
| about the number of Irish electors on the
register. Since the victory in Manchester
| no such triumph has been won by the Con-
| federation, aHd all who had share in
| achieving it deserve the gratitude of the
Irish nation. Foremost amongst those are
the true-hearted Irishmen of Bristol them
| selves, aud then the representatives of the
executive of the Confederation who per
sonally took part in the contest-Mr.
O'Connor Power and Mr.. Oliver. Both
these gentlemen, we may add, attended a
great meeting in Colston Hall the night be
fore the poll, and were accorded q most en-
thusisstic reception.
New Ross has disappointed the general
expectation. Colonel Totsenham, the Tory
candidate, has been returned by majority
of five over the National candidate, Mr..
Delany. The exact numbers were-for
the Tory, 95 votes for the Home Ruler,
80. A comparison of these numbers with
thoSo VI VIC OiCSSiOh III 1Cff ouoW5 IudI quo
anti Irish poll is greater now by ten votes,
and the Irish and Catholic less by about
thirty. OF course, this is a blot, not upon
the people of New Ross, who number close
on 1000, but upon the electorate, which
num bers little more than 200 and it will,
we are confident, be wiped out on the first
opportunity. The manifestations of popu-
lar indignation which followed the declar-
alton of the poll, whatever may be thought
of them on the score of propriety, show
on which side in the late con-
test lay the feeling of the overwhelming
majority of the Inhabitants.
The threatened eviction at Dowth, of
which our readers heard q good deal few
years since, is, we regret to see, once NOR g
public attention. A decree for
ejectment has at last been obtained against
Mr. Elcock, and it is announced shat it will
be put into exception on the 4th January.
The matter has excited a painful interest
throughout Meath and Lonth, and meet
ing of the Tenant Defence Association of
The former county was held a few days ago
to take steps to prevent things being car
ried to extremeties. There is but q small
hope that the efforts of the association
will be successful, but even if there were |
none it would still be the duty of such q |
body to make public the facts of case
than which we cannot recollect any better
calculated to show the insuficiency of the
Land Act of 1870.

Artificial Lumber,

The versatile ingenuity of a Western
inventor, who doubtless foresees the
time in the far-distant future when the
forest shall cease to clothe the hills and
dales, and the demands for lumber
shall prove vastly in excess of the sup
ply, has succeeded in devising q sub
sttute for the natural product of virgin
or the cultivated soil. His plan is to
use that fragile vegetable, straw, and
by a peculiar process to compress it
into substance as hard and indestructi-
bic as oak lumber. It is claimed that
this process converts wheat. straw into
timber which is susceptible of as fine
polish and finish as mahogany and
black walnut, at cost not in excess of
that Of the best clear pine. The straw
is first manufactured by the ordinary
paper-mill process into strawboard, and
q sufficient number of sheets of THU of
the right size are taken to make the re-
CURED timber. They are soaked and
softened in chemical solution, which
is, OF course, the inventors secret. After
the fiber of the pasteboard is sufficiently
saturated, the pile of sheets is pressed
between series of rollers which con-
soidate them so that when dry the
whole is hard stick. It is claimed
that the process renders this wood
substitute impervious to water, and the
chemicals used are such as to make it
tre-proof. But the sanguine inventor
has only made samples thus far.
