in which it is stipulated that Bosnal
and Herzegovina shall belong per-
manently to Austria that the Go
vernment of Servia and Montenegro
shall be strengthened by Austria
against their subjects; that the navl-
cation of the Danube shall be regu-
lated in the interest of the riparian
States that Roumania be indepen-
dent, but advised to suppress revO-
lutionists that if the union of Bulga-
rita and eastern Roumelia take place,
it must be eff .cted without commo-
ton; that the Porte must grant auto
nomy to Albania that no Power but
Russia and Austria be allowed to
enter tie Balkans; that in the event
of serious complications in ConStan-
tilople, the two Powers take joint
precautions; hat Egypt shall con-
tinue to be protected by the Great
Powers and that Germany be asked
to adhere 10 this protocol. If hat
agreement has been signed, it involves
a revival of the Triple Alliance for
the settlement of the Balkans, and
although the evidence tor this YER
sion is very slight, it may contain the
substance Of an existing arrange
ment.
The news from ireland this week
is not sensational, but much of it is
hopeful. The juries continue to give
verdicts, and in Connhught alone a
hundred persons have been sentenced
tor intimidation and agrnrian outrage,
after fair trial and full defence. That
= more satisfactory than any
number arrests, however we'll
justified by re conduct of the arrest
ell. A sentence rouses none of the
sympathy evoked by an arrest. The
Roman Catholic Bishops in America,
too, who have South Germans to
think OF as well as Irishmen, and feel
the opinion of the Spnnish-American
void, are warning their fficks THAT
the Church can sanction neither re-
volution nor robbery. They ute fly
condemn the "No-rent" agitation, and
though they are without influence
with the leaders, who despise Bishops
Is uterly al the Commandments, their
public declarations weigh with the
decent Catholic workmen, who sub
scribe the funds. II is in America
that the mischi f must ultimately be
attacked. Deprived OF American sub.
sc%riptions, the Irish movement would
snon be reduced to its tue proper
tons, those of a movement against
the English form of land-tenure,
which Parliament has already abo-
lished.

A FATHERS TRIBUTE TO HIS CHILD
BY OMEGA c.

1.-THE incident upon which this poem
Is founded occurred in St. Tamn,au-
parish, on the lIth of February, 1881.
BY thy relentless waters, turbid Pearl,
My noble boy was snatched away from
life:
Where many an eddy, with its kissing
whirl,
Move madly on in elemental strife
Oh, why, Stern river, in thy rapid flow.
Did'st thou overwhelm my dear, nv
only boy,
And thus all my deep cherished hopes
Thus all my future plans at once
destroy?
A shadow thou hast east upon my brow:
feel a loneliness where'er | 60
contemplate my darlinss image now.
And tears of anguish still begin to
fow
Twas last OF winter when the deed was
done.
The chilling winds went whist.ing to
the sea;
And when again thou gave'st up my son,
his form was limp and cold-his spirit
free
Oh River, whilst dwell upon tlv shore,
This cruel blow never can forget,
Though Time his many healing oils NAV
pour,
While seasons come and go-suns rise
and set.
But Will meet my spirit-child again,
When this sad soul shall leave its |
earthly sphere,
And in that beautiful and bright domain
To join him in his happy, grand
career?
feel It's so-the thought some solace
proves,
As here my daily tolls I still perform,
Hhile drifting onward with the tide that
moves
Toward those realms beyond the reach
OF storm.
