a Mistaken Idea.

There is a popular superstition to tho
effect that pretty women are rarely
good for any thing save to serve as
ornamental human bric-a-brac for tho
rest of the work-a-day world. That
the chief end of leauiy is to polish
her flbert nails. train her arched
brows, devise new schemes for be-
witching her fellow-creatures and wear
as many becoming costumes rs Proy-
dence or her husband sees fit to give
her. In many cases this is true, no
doubt, but so frequent and admirable
are the exceptions that the justice OF
the belief is completely oyerthrown.

THE PAPAL DECREE.

Teyt of Pope Lco's Decree Condemnlng the
Irish "Plan of Campaign and boy
cotting.'
LONDON, April 30.-The text of the papal
decree says:
On several occasions the Apostolic See has
given to the people of ireland, whom it has al
ways regarded with special benevolenee, suit
able admonitions and advice when the circum.
stances have required, as 10 how they might
defend their rights without injury TO justice OF
the public peace. Our HOLY Father Leo XIII,
fearing lest in the species OF warfare that has
been introduced among the Irish interests be
tween landlords and tenants, and which is
commonly called the "Plan OF Campaign" and
in the kind OF social interdct called boy
cottng,' arising from the same contests, the
true Sense oflustice and charity might be per
vertcd, has ordered the Supreme Congregation
Of the Inquisition to subject the matter to Sc
rous and careful examination. Hence the fol-
lowing was proposed to their eminences, the
Cardinals OF the Congregation. Is ii permis-
sble in disputes between landlords and ten
ants in Ireland TO use the means known as
''The Plan of Campaign and "l,oycotungs"
After long and mature dclberation. their
eminences unanimously answered in the mega
tive, and their decision was confirmed by the
Holy Father on Wednesday, the sth day OF the
present month. The justice of this decision

consider that q rent agreed upon BY mutual
consent can not, without violation OF contract.
be abolished at the mere will OF thu tenant
especially when there are tribunals appointed
for the purpose Of settling such controversies
and reducing unjust rents within the bounds
OF equity, after taking into account the
causes which diminish the value OF land.
Neither can it be cons dercd permissible that
rents should be extorted from tenants and de
posted in the hands OF unknown persons to
The detriment of land owners.
Finally IL is contrary TO justice and charity
to persecute. by a social interdict those who
are satisfied TO pay the rents they agreed to
pay; or those who, in the exercise OF their
rights. take vacant farms. II will therefore be
your lordship's duty, prudently, but enectually,
TO advise and exhort the clergy and laity not
to trausgress the bounds Of Christian charity
and justice whilst they are striving for n rem
edy for their distressed condition.
