Distress IN Ireland.

+ j X *
Mr.. Frederick Busy, a commissioner
sent out by the London Cable News to
report upon the condition OF the suffer
ers along the west shore Of Ireland, has
received the following letter from Mr..
Michael Dayitt n l. 3
i have already expressed my views
on this subject in the Dublin Freeman,
enlarging upon the distress which had
personally Witnessed. The government
then sent a poor law Inspector to AChill
and his report fully confirms me. The
5000 inhabitants Of Achill are always
among the poorest Of our western popu-
lation. The island Is 90 unsheltered
from the Atlantic galessthat only pota-
toes and rye can be grown in its damp
and peaty soil. This year the potato
crop almost completely failed. The
only other means Of livelihood for the
islanders is furnished by migratory
labor in England and Scotland. In 1885
this resource virtually failed. The bulk
of the population viii shortly be con-
fronted with actual starvation. They
are already eating seed potatoes. Its
the duty Of the lord lieutenant to assist
these people by. establishing public
works for their employment, to be paid
for out Of the taxes. which Irishmen
contribute to the imperial exchequer.
There are myriadstof fish which could
be marketed in Dublin, but it Will be
necessary to construct thirty miles Of
light trsmway to the nearest railway at
Westport. In connection with Achill
one matter that deserves special atten
ton IS the conduct Of the Protestant
Missionary society. That society owns
2S,00O acres of land on Achill Island
The society's sole object in keeping
this property is to employ its revenues
in efforts to convert or pervert the poor
Catholic islanders. II is utilizing the,
distress of the people to make what it
had failed to accomplish in twenty-five
years some Protestant onverts. Any
thing more infamous than this mode
of making conversions is difficult to
discover 4 i v y "a ~ AS

forbids our giving full synopsis Of the
discourse as the Rev. gentleman brought.
forward many forcible arguments to
prove the influence of Mary with her
divine son and the reverence and love
bestowed by Jesus upon his virgin
mother. l5s
The preacher dwelt at some length
upon the answer Of Jesus to his mother
lat the marriage feast, when she said to
him, &c hey have no wine" His reply,
was, $ Woman, Whatis that to me and
to thee? my hour is not yet come. q
He said that with the dislike Of the
holy mother Of God which character

Try to convey the impression
that Jesus rebuked his mother.
The words Of Mary formed
q prayer similar to the words Of Mary
and Martha for their brother Lazarus

lowest is sick. ''
Some who are ignorant of the Greek
language in which the Gospel is writ
ten find in the word woman as
spoken by Jesus to his mother an
angry rebuke for her interference, but
the word sgunai'' is in Greek a general
term OF address to ladies, meaning, ae-
cording to circumstances, madam, mis-
tress, wife, my lady. The word
woman in that language means all
that is soft, gentle, kind, affectionate
and attractive in the female sex.
When God cast out Adam and Eve
from Eden a promise was given that
the woman would crush the serpent's
head. The prophet Jeremias speaks
of. Jesus and Mary as ''the man and
woman. In the Scriptures are found
various expressions Of this character

buke.

Picking Out Good Oranges.

To very many an orange is an orange,
the only variation distinguishable being
in size and corresponding price, while
those who know the difference between
Florida" Seyille'' and .sAessina''
oranges are considered experts. The
Florida Catechism" tells us better
than that. We learn from it that there
are ''oyer thirty, varieties Of sweet
oranges, not to mention the natural
stock, which is a larger and handsomer
fruit than the sweet orange, and Is ex-
cellent for orangeade and marmalade,
but being very sour, is seldom shipped
North. The medium sizes are apt to
be the choicest, and probably the very
sweetest orange that is marketed Is the
rusty-coated and rather ill-looking or
ange, which might be considered infer
ior by an amateur Furthermore:
The way to detect oranges is to 'heft'
them In yonr hands; pick outthe thin
skinned, heavy fruit, and Won are all
right. y The lightweight fruit is apt
to be juiceless, 9 condition caused eth
er by . slight freezing while on the tree,
or, more paobably, by the poverty OF
the soil in which it grow.
All this applies to the sweet oranges.
Tho kid glove oranges are grown in
Florida from two stocks, brought, re-
spectiyely, from China and Tanglers.
