The Parliamentary inquiry into the way in which the Roman Catholic clergy in Belgium are fighting the free schools shows some cu- rious facts. The Vicar of Izel, to take one instance, has been s'instructing" the boys and girls in his confirmation classes that it is ligious duty to disobey their parents if their parents tell them to go to the government school. The parish priest of Cross-Fays in formed his congregation from the pulpit that fathers and mothers would do much better for their children if they allowed them to run about the streets and the fields all day, than if they sent them to schools which were not under the religious rule of the Church. ''If wives cannot succeed in persuading their husbands to remove their children from such schools,'' said he, ''it is the duty of the wives to separate from such hus- bands'' In many places the priests direct ly inform their hearers from the pulpit that every educator who derives his or her mission from the State is reprobate and castaway, living under the curse of God; and the child ren are taught that there is nothing wrong in insulting. disobeying, or injuring those whose existence and occupation offend the Almighty A complaint has been lodged against tue pastor of Vievres that he has or ganized system of persecution against the schoolnaistress of Lhe commune She is pious Catholic, and insists upon going regu- iarly to the church; the clergyman encour- aged her fellow worshippers to push her out of her seat the children from the rival Catholic schoor' were told by the pastor to draw her seat from under her just as she was going to sit down, and to follow her with screams and yells when they met her out of doors. The priest of Chiny gives odd in structions to the children of his parish who attend the Communal school He told them that the schoolmaster belonged to that class of sinners who sold their souls to the devil for couple of francs; and he ordered them, as religious duty, to stop their ears and make noise while the teacher was giving his lessons, in order that none of his devilish doctrines might enter into them and destroy their souls.

MAKING Al MANA New NOSE Our OF
ONE OF His FINeERs.-A very remarkable
operation is proceeding at Bellevue hospital
The patient is a young man, twenty-one
years old, who lost b is nose through what is
known as lupoid ulcer, the result of blow
from club, and the operation will result in
the replacement of that useful organ, or rath-
er the substitution Of a part of one of the
sufferers fingers for the missing feature.
The first step, whicbgwas taken some weeks
ago, was to remove the nail from the middle
finger of the patients left hand Two deep
incisions were then made at the base of the
nose and pieces of flesh were brought down
TO cover the opening caused by the destruc-
tion of the nasal bones and cartiIages. Next
incisions were made at the upper extremity
OF the nose to form . pocket for the reception
of the end of the finger to be ttansplanted. -
The next step was to open the finger from
the second joint to the tip and to place the
finger In position on the patients face, sccur-
ing the flaps by silver sutures. This was done
admirably. The next operation will BIZ the
amputation OF the fiDger at the first joint
when the bones of the transplanted phalanges
will serve admirably to place the nasal bones
A triangular flap Of skin win then be brought
down from the forehead to form uniform
surface for the new nose, and the job will be
completed. 1t may be added that at one
point in the operation the patients breathing
was so obstructed by blood running down his
throat that it became necessary to insert a
silver tube m his vindpipe.
During the last few weeks the patient has
been kept under tie influence of anasthetics,
and his arm and head have been kept in po-
sition by means of plaster Of paris. The OPP
GRAFTON was suggebted by a similar expert
ment in Birmingham, England, but it is so
much more complicated in its nature that it is
practically original, I'm. Y. Evening Post.

a FATAL SECRET.

! The evidence upon which Theodore ]. Nc
Gurk, charged with the murder of James
Needs, has just been convicted, is a striking
illustration Of tile old-timed adage, Mir
der will OUT Needs was colored porter
employed at Whites dental depot on Arch
street. On the morning of Oct. 7, 1865, he
was fotnd dead in the office of the establish
ment. He was found lying in pool of blood
his hands aud feet bound large gag in his
mouth, aud there were wounds on the head
which showed that he had been badly beaten.
The safe was open and portion of Its coh-
tents and other valuable property had been
carried off. No clue could be obtained to the
murder and robbery, and there is little proba.
bility that the mystery would have been clear
ed up had not the guilty agent found it inn
possible to keep the awful secret to himself.
In 1878, while patient in a hospital in this
city, one of the nurses, impressed with his
" haunted look,' and believing he could not
recover in his then surroundings, had McGurk
removed to her fathers house in Erie, Pa
about his souls salvation, he confessed to
Mrs. Sandburn the nurse referred TO, that he
and one Hugh Mara, now dead, had been i'm
terruptcd by Need while engaged in robbing
the dental establishment and to protect them
selves had bound him and then killed him.

testant Episcopal Church was sent for. The
seemingly dying man was not ready to make
second confession of his crime, but asked
the minister il 1t was possible for repent
ant murderer to be saved, and also had her
mark for hun in the Bible all passages REFER
ring to murderers. He consented to take the
communion, but did so with great deal of
trepidation, and seemed somewhat out of his
head during the minister's stay. "When he
put on his robe, explained the wretched man
afterward, it seemed to me he was getting
ready to hang me. could not get that idea
out of my head.
McGurk did not die, however, but could
not refrain from still further divulging his
secret. TO the city editor of the Erie Dis
patch he claimed to be detective who was
searching for McGurk, the murderer Of Needs
Upon being charged with being McGurk him
self, he ran away, but was subsequently ar
rested. The defence was that insanity or de-
sire for notorety led McGurk to the confess
sion of crime be had never committed, but
the jury could only see in these confessions
to relieve itself.
