ruEpoPUaND THE IRISH.

The recent orders given to the Irish cler- gy by the Pope have naturally attracted much attention and excited much comment. In his circular the Pope said that 1t was the du- ty of the clergy to curb the excited feelings of the Irish people and to urge justice and moderation. Collections to relieve distress are permitted, but subscriptions to inhame popular passions are condemned The cler- gy must hold aloot when it is plain that by such movements hatreds and dissensions are aroused or distinguished persons insulted, and when crimes and murders go uncResured and when patriotism is measured by the amount subscribed, for the people are there by intimidated. The Pope disapproved the Parnell fund, and said that no clergyman should recommend subscriptions thereto or promote 1t.
 There is no mistaking the meaning or irn- portance of this utterance, and it will be in- teresting to see what effect it will have. It is interesting also to notice the effect it has already had and the way it has been received by some of the Irish leaders. MT. Biggar said at meeting of the Irish national league that anything coming from the Pope should be received with much respect by the league. MT. Mayne, M F., said that the Irish people should take theology and not politics from Rome. MT. Kenny,M. P., described the Pops's circular as a shaneful insult to the priests and people of Ireland. The Dublin Freeman's Journal says tho Pope has been mislsd, if not entirely deceived, by eEissaries of the British government, who know that if the Parnall party remains unbrok- en it will held the K balance of power in the next parai and continues: tsIt is the most inn rofsant d6snmsnt since Adriauss famous balI.-zEhs rasiegn is gross lv miaaforned. If 1t tsensuFes that illustri- ous beloved archbiahep of CasheI it must also censure nins4o dissing nguished prelates and 1 the entire priesthood. All must obey the Pope's command, bat She regeneration of Ireland will yet be effected by the union of the priests and the people" MT. O'Donnen, member of Parliament for Dungarvan, thinks that unonstrous ignorance of Irish affairs pre- yaiIs at Rome, and he characterizes MT. Er rineton, who hes been the medium of com nunication between Great Britain and the l Vatican. as sneak and 2 renegade, and says ! the attention of ths Vatican should be called to the crimes fostered by England's enforce ment of the infamous land code.
 Some leading Irishmen in this country do not hesitate to advise that the Irish pay no attention to what the Pope wants in this matter. Mr. John Boyle O'Reilly of the Boston Pilot says that the Pope has been shamefully deceived, that the matter is $ purely secular one anyway, and that the i'm r,ad;ata affect of the papal utterance will be to swell the Parnell testimonial tenfold

 No book could possibly appear more op- portunely than these interesting volumes fColquhoun's "Across Chryse in which MT. Archibald Colquhoun describes his remarka
 ble journey from Canton to Mandalay. Mir. Colquhoun is the latest pioneer of com
 merce' in the border lands of the neighbor- ing empires of India and China, and in some respects his work will be admitted to have been more remarkable than any preceding exploration in that part of China At Wu- chau, TO miles above Canton, a Chinese gun boat was assigned for the protection of the travellers, and they were accompanied by 8 similar vessel throughout the later stages of the river journey in the province of Kwang- si This gunbeat was not, it may be re- marked, one of those purchased in Europe or made in Chinese dock yards in imitation of those of Sir William Armstrong, and about which we have heard so much. It was only native boat specially employed on pre- ventive service on the Sikiang river, and MT. Colquhoun describes it as follows: Tt was 8 trim looking boat, with-for a Chinese craft-sharp lines; it had 8 tall mast, and was evidently designed for speed. The only accommodation on board was small cabin near the stern, which belonged to the csp- tain, who was sort of non commissioned officer of the military contingent.

The men were not in uniform, but the boat vas telerably tidy, with the ex- ception of 8 bundle of dried ducks-most unpleasant things for the eye to dwell upon and some pork hardly less slightly"
 Mir. Colquhoun found the people of the towns very hostile in their attitude, while ths inhabitants of the villages were more friendly. The deduction he draws from this is that the "traveler in these regions should avoid all cities and towns, especially on fete or market days" The natural antipathy of the people, who did not appear in MT.

The plan for the tunnel under the English channel is for a simple railroad tunnel with two lines of rails. There would be no sta
 tions except one on the English and another on the French side. It is estimated that the carrying capacity of the tunnel. worked upon the block system, would be twelve trains per hour each way. To pay five per cent. upon thecapital invested would require gross revenue of es7s 1000. The trains would have to carry 2.0oo passengers daily, or 1 1,50o, ,oOO in the year, at an average fare of 6s 3d. each, and they would also have to convey 54S tons of merchandise daily Al the hearing before the special tunnel com. mittee of the House of Commons, one of the projectors said that if it were determined that the tunnel would have to be destroyed | in case of danger, that would not prevent the company going on with the scheme. The tunnel could be blocked such length of without destroying the main part of the works. The depth of the tunnel below the bottom of the sea was so great that it would be almost impossible to blow up the tunnel or let the sea in so that it could never be got back again. It could be flooded and so de- stroyed that it would take three months to
 repair it. The tunnel under the channel would be about twenty-one miles long, or thirty miles, including approaches. The cost is now estimated at $40,OOo, 900. It would take from eight to ten years to com. plete it. If the English can get over their

In an applica- tion to restrain the president and directors of the public schools in that city from draw ing on the school revenues for paying in- structors in German and other foreign Ian-
 guages, the court held that this matter was entirely within the discretion of those off,
 cers; but on the question. raised in the case,
 of expending money for children under six
 years of age, the decision declares
 such an outlay illegal. The school age
 in Missouri is between six and twenty, and
 this decision will not only interfere with the
