The meeting OF the irish Nation-
nj League Deferred.

LINcoLs, Neb., December 2S.-Pat
rick Eagan, President Of the Irish Ma
tional League Of America. has received
a cablegram from I. NJ. Harrington,
Secretary Of the National League in
Ireland. in which Harrington states
that Mr.. Parnell will not be able to
attend the League Convention intended
to be held in Chicago in January, and
that he is inclined to think 1t best to
postpone the Convention until after the
meeting OF Parliament in February. II
is doubtless the desire Of the Irish party
to know with some definiteness the out
come OF the present lsituation before
making any authorized announcement
Of their plans, or before sending any
message to their American brothers,
and 1t also seems that they regard Par
nell's constant presence on the scene OF
negotiation as Indispensable. The Con
yention therefore, in accordance with
this suggestion, is postponed to date
to be determined upon hereafter be-
tween the Executive Of the American
League and Parnell. President Eagan
will call the National Committee Of the
American League together in January,
by which time there may be information
from Ireland enabling definite date to
be fixed for the Convention.

BAIrImoRE, December pa copy OF
q letter sent by the Pope to the Roman
Catholic hierarchy of England has just
been received at Baltimore. by Arch
Bishop Gibbons, Primate OF the church
in America. The subject Of the letter
Is Christian education. 1t has been
translated. and will be published in full
in to-morrow's Catholic Mirror. The
Holy Father commends the great vigi-
lance of the clergy in looking after the
Christian education Of the children Of
America. He encourages and praises
them and assures them of his special
communication and good will in the
prosecution Of their meritorious work.
The laity also come In for share Of the
Pope's conimendation for their readiness
to supply what Is needed for the mainte-
nance Of schools. not only wealthy con
tributors but these who are OF slender
means and poor. The Pope continues,
In these days aud in the present
condition of the world when the
tender age Of childhood is tempted
on every side by SO many
and various dangers, hardly anything
can be imagined more fitting than the
union with literary instruction, Of sound
teaching in faith and morals. For this
reason we have more than once strongly
approved voluntary schools. which, by
the work and liberality OF private indi-
viduals, have been ablished in Amer
lea and elsewhere. We desire their
number increased as much as possible.
We ourselves seeing the condition OF
things in this city. continue with the
greatest effort and at the greatest cost
to provide an advance Of such schools
for the children of some. for 1t is in and
by these schools that the Catholic faith,
our greatest and best inheritance Is pre-
served whole and entire. In these schools
the duty of parents is regarded, aud
what Is most needed, especially in the
prevailing license OF opinion and OF
action. 1t Is by these schools that good
citizens are brought up for the State, for
there IL no better citizen than the man
who has believed and practiced the
Christian faith from childhood. The
future condition Of the State depends
upon the early training of the children.
The wisdom Of our forefathers aud the
very foundations Of the State are ruined
by the destructive errors of those who
would have children brought up without
religious education. You see, therefore,
venerable brethren, with what earnest
forethought parents must beware of in
trusting their children to schools in
which they cannot receive religious teach
iugs."

WAsHISGroN, December 20. = The
friends Of universal education are very
hopeful Of passing an education bill
through Congress this session. Blair in
the Senate and Willis in the House will
press the matter, and both are sanguine
OF success. The bills introduced by
these gentlemen are different in many
IN nitters OF detail. but both provide for
the same amount to be appropriated by
Congress for public free schools in the
States, and IL the bills pass the
two houses, respectively, their differ
ences can easily be adjusted. Senator
Blair said to-day that be expects that
the committee will report the bill to the
Senate soon after the holidays. and he
has no doubt Of Its passage. He receives
"A great many letters and petitions upon
the subject. and says there is an almost
universal demand Tor Congress to pro-
vide for the establishment OF com
mon schools throughout the coun-
try. He says that the money
Congress thus expended would be re-
turned in the increased value of each
mans labor and the Investment would
be good one. The increase and in
dustrial value Of the people in the
South would be equal to s24l, ,727, 900 a
year II all illiterate people should be
educated according to the plan proposed.
1t was reported to-day that 400 clerks
aud examiners in the pension office were
to be dismissed January lst. The Chief
Clerk denies this statement, and says
the report probably grew out Of the fact
that the work OF the office is being sys-
tematized and lesseued The office can
not, however. get along with a smaller
force.
John b. Mccarthy, a well-known

The President will spend Christmas

LONDON, December 23.-An article on
the Irish question supposed to have been
written by Cardinal Manning appears in
this weeks issue of the Tablet, the
Catholic organ In England. In this ar
ticle the writer objects TO the request of
the Most Rev. Thos. Nulty. Catholic
Bishop Of Meath, that English Catholics
continue to support Parnell. The
ground of objection being that the Par.
nellites desire a aeperation, which might
result in the banishment Of Catholics
from the English Parliament for the sake
of Ireland.

Attempt TO Depress the stock
market.

NEW YoRK, December 23.-The Post
says; Well informed men in Wall street
to-day expressed the opinion that The
recent advance In rates of foreign ex.
change was but partly legitimate, and
that the shipments OF gold to Europe
which 1t has been rumored would be
heavy, would probably not prove very
extensive. There were good reasons to
believe, 1t was said, that the advance in
rates and the agitation about shipping
gold had been created in large degree
by persons who are trying to depress the
stock market.

WALT. Whitman is feeling tue
weight Of years. One who saw him
lately says: The poets football is
heavy and irregular; he is above
the average height; bis hair and
beard are long and white, but the
blood beneath the skin gives a
ruddy, almost maroon tinge to his
face. 1t must have been beauti-
full face once, and even now, as he
talks, the lines of age fade away
and the beauty of its youth becomes
anain visible. The eyes are blue
gray, and the forehead prominent
above the eyes, but not high. AL
though he rejects ED forms of poet
ry, the clothing of his body, from
the big white felt hat, the spotless
rolling shirt collar, the expense of
shirt bosom fastened with a button
the size and shape Of a button
wood ball, to the light-colored out
ward dress, are Of the style made
familiar by the pictures of old-time
poets. His voice is full and strong
but he talks with some hesitancy
and searching for the word to fit
exrctly his idea.

We had expected to publish a
full account of the "wreck" which
occurred on the upper end Of the
I. and P. road, on Wednesday eve
ming, between Sodus and Mar
thaville, whereby a locomotive and
several box cars were ditched, but
owing to the working of the wires,
and our not being able to other
wise receive full intelligence of the
affair, is our only reason in now
publishing this meagre account
The same came near resulting seri-
ously, as a number of people were
on the train at the time. Enough
is known however, to Justify us in
saying that the two perpetrators of
this bold act, viz: the tearing up
of portion of the track, we're cap
tured and are now in prison, and
will be held to a close account for
their rascally conduct. The plan
was fixed to operate against pas
senger train, ond the object Of the
pair engaged in it was none other
than murder, presumably robbery.
Since the above was in type we
leard from Mr.. Ed. Synan, the gen.
tlemanly operator of the T. and P.
Co., here, that the two men cap
tured are named Cumberlandier and
McLouglin.
