The recent announcement made BY
some Of the Northern papers, that the
counsel of Mrs. Labouchere- Pigeon
had withdrawn the divorce suit insti-
tuted by them in the Richmond
Chancery Court, is a mistake. Mrs.
Labouchere's resident counsel say that
no steps in this direction have been
taken.
Their client has hardly yet had time
to receive and read the American
newspaper accounts on her recent
journeying to Richmond.
As soon as these reach and are read
by the lady, it is expected that the
determination which she may arrive
at will be communicated to her legal
advisers in this country.
Soon after publicity was given Mrs.
L~abouchere's visit to this city and its
results, one Of her New York lawyers
intimated that they would obtain a
transcript of the divorce granted by
the London court and place it on
record in the clerks Office Of the

FAST DAY PROCLAMATION

In accordance with venerated custom
of our fathers, it becomes us at this season
to humble ourselves together before AL
mighty God and confess with contrite
hearts alike our sins and our dependence.
I therefore designate Friday, the sixth
day of April, next, as a day of fasting,
humiliation and prayer.
Let US on that day lay aside our secular
cares, and, in our places of worship and
in our homes, with devout penitence for
past transgressions, beseech the Lord to
turn from US all those evils we most Justly
have deserved, and to continue to us those
blessings of health and plenty, peace and
freedom, which have so long been our
portion.
Let us with faith ask Him to endow our
rulers with wisdom and the people with
content; to reward with great bounty all
honest labor; and to bless and preserve
all our religious, educational and charita-
BILE institutions.

A DYNAMITE ARGUMENT.

At nine o'clock Thursday evening
a government building in London in
which were the offices of the local
board was blown up by dynamite.
The building was situated in West
minister and about 800 yards from
the parliament buildings, there being
several streets and buildings between.
The adjacent buildings were shatter-
ed by the force of the conclusion and
the streets were filled with broken
glass and other debris. The explo-
sion was heard in parliament, and
there as elsewhere the greatest con-
sternation prevailed. No lives were
lost, since the explosion took place
at time when there were few per-
sons in the street near the building.
The Fenians are suspected and the
deed is claimed as their answer to
Mr.. Gladstone's speech on the land
act. The London Daily Neaos con-
meets the authors of this outrage with
certain phases of Irish crime 'sand
the assassin press in America. The
act unquestionably proceeded from
the same source and was inspired by
the same spirit as the murder of Cav
! endish and Burke and the thousand
other murderous outrages which have
clouded the just cause of Ireland. 1t
is these acts that have either forced
many warm sympathizers with Ire
land openly to take sides against her,
or have compelled them to keep ST.
lence where they were wont stoutly
to champion her cause. Impartial
| judges believe that the liberal major
ity in parliament has had the welfare
of the Irish sincerely at heart, and
that all which any rejecting reasona-
able Irishman could expect or desire
would have followed the acceptance
by Ireland, in the spirit in which it
was conceived, of the remedial legis-
lation devised by Gladstone and by
him carried through parliament in the
face of the ancient prejudices of
aristocratic England. Ireland has
had no better friend than the Amer
leans, but Americans do not believe
in the mask and the dagger, in dyna-
mite and Internal machines, the
weapons of ruffans and cut-throats,
which Irishmen are using for Ireland
redemption. Sympathy for the green
isle has been rapidly alienated, if not
utterly crushed out, by the causeless
use and justification by Irishmen OF
these forbidden and abhorrent forces.
