Church TroabIes I'm Portugal.


The relations between the Vatican and the
Portuguese government are, says the Lisbon
correspondent of the Loudon Times, in
critical state. For some considerable time
past a number of sees have been vacant, the
Nuncio refusing TO accept the nominees of
the government, who were all of decidedly
liberal tendencies. Among other sees was
the patrlarchate of Lisbon; the present
patriarch, Cardinal Cardoso, wished to re-
sign on account of his age and infrmities,
but as it was impossible to arrive at
any determination as 10 his successor
his resignation was withheld and the pstri-
srchale has been administered by the vicar
gene raj, himself an archbishop. The pres
eut Nuucio, Masella, succeeded the late
Cardinal Sanguini in 1879, and has ever
since attempted to arrange the difficulties.
As neither party would give way the sees
have remained vacant. The government
has now suppressed six of @he 'bishoprics,
and threatens to give the Nuncio his pass.
porIs should he continue 10 refuse 10 accept
their nominees TO the remaining ones. A
few days ago when his excellency called on
the minisler of grace and justice that official
received him sitting and smoking. The
sentry at the door called him one OF those
disgusting names 30 often applied by Lisbon
roughs to priests. This will give some idea
OF the treatment received by the Nuncio,
against which II Is said that protect Will
be made by the corps diplom Atique. The
probable result of the whole affair
wi be the suppression of the hier-
arcby in Portugal, and the establishment
of vicariates apostolic, thus declaring Portu-
gal to be missionary country" This
would be severely felt by the great bulk of
the people, as the Portuguese bishops have
always enjoyed great ecclesiastical pfivi-
ieges. The patriarch of Lisbon has more
than any one except the popei and the arch
bishops of Braga have alSays claimed the
primaoy, not of Portugal only bnt OF the
whole peninsula. The Nuncios of the Court
of bisbon have always been the "protectors"
of three institutions belonging to English
subjects, namely: college for the education
of Roman Catholic priests for England,
which has about fifty inmates, and Two CON-
vents belong ng 10 the Irish province Of the
Dominican orders, one for monks aud one toF
nuns. These Irish Dominicanesses have the
education OF the daughters of the elite Of
Portugal.

Mrs. Hester A. Fryer, Crozerville,
Delaware County, abstained from food
for lifty-two days. Her period of starv-
alton was ended by her death last Mon
day. Yesterday she was buried. For
two years the lady had been an invalid.
Previous to her illness Mrs. Fryer was q
large woman, weighing about 25O
pounds, and seemed to have very
strong constitution. About two years
ago she began to be troubled with hys-
terra, and gradually became so i'll that
she was confined to the house. She
wasted away slowly, end finally became
unable to take any food except milk and
weak tea, upon which she subsisted for
nearly year. Even this became un-
pleasant and irritating to her stomach,
and about two months ago she deter
mined to attempt q complete fast, with
the idea that by absolute rest her stom-
ach might become more vigorous. Fif-
ty-Six days ago she commenced her long
fast, and no food of any kind passed her
mouth for forty-five days, although she
occasionally drank water. She said that
she felt better every day that the fast
continued, and really appeared to rally
and pick up in spirit and hopefulness IL
not in flesh. She was no more troubled
with dyspepsia, and although her physi-
clans protested against her course, she
persisted. Her friends and the doctors
watched the case with great solicitude,
and the latter with great curiosity. One
day, about two weeks ago, she for the
first time in a year complained that she
was really hungry, and called for some
thing to eat. Solid food was at first
given to her, but this would not stay
upon her stomach, and the old diet OF
tea and milk was resorted to, but this
was also rejected. In short, it was dis
covered that her long fast had so COM
pletely worn out her stomach that it
could not work, and every effort to feed
her failed. Her husband and friends
and the doctors were, therefore, COM
PEELED to watch her slowly but surely
starVe to death, without being able to
help her. The physicians who attended
her propose to give history of the case.
