TIE POpES ILLNESS.

His Holiness the Pope has teen Sc
riously indisposed during the past
week and grave fears were entertained
as to his recovery. His Holiness was
rs years of age on the 2nd inst, and IN
the ordinary course OF nature cannot
endure any severe strain on his system.
The excitement attending tn e jubilee
festivities is believed to haye reduced
his strength. At this time it would be
sad calamity to the Christian world
to lose one WAC has done 80 much to
elevate mankind. He has for some
time been preparing an Encyclical Let
ter to be addressed to the Episcopacy
Of Brazil. in which the total abolition
of slavery within the confines Of the
empire will be ably and eloquentiy ad-
vocated It is anticipated that the
solemn pronouncement Of the Holy
Father, made 10 the interests of free
dom and civilization, will have the eff
feet Of breaking off the chains from
many a limb. aud introducing peace
and prosperity into many a household.
The wholesome intIu .nce exercised by
His Holiness over the actions of the
heads of the great European powers is
an admitted fact. For this reason as
we'll as many others it is to be hoped
that the head of the Catholic Church
Will be spared to the world for years.

AMERICAS GRATITUDE.

The assistance rendered by the peo-
pie of America to the cause Of Ireland
Is coming in for a great deal of atten-
tion in the Tory papers at present, and
more particularly SO since Mr.. Glad
stone has taken it upon himself to de-
fend the same in the columns of a lead
ing English magazine. There are many
reasons why the Americans should not
forget Ireland in the hour of her dire
extremity. One of them, and very
important one, is that the American
people owe debt of gratitude to Irish
men. The Irish stooc by the Ameri-
cans in their was, and the citizens Of
this great Republic do not forget them.

foreign born, created by the same God.
redeemed by the same blood, and can
didates for the same immortality, they

terrible battles, the same grass grows
green over their honored graves, and to
use the words of a fine poet:

They looked to the same heaven together"

not inquire the place of birth of the he
roes upon whom it bestowed it's admira-
ton and gratitude; it did not, because
they were Irishmen, pay a less sincere
homage to the glorious and immortal
memories of Richard Montgomery and
Thomas Francis Meagher. Irishmen
have been the most consistent and true
friends of the Republic, and Americans
realize this fact, and for this reason
they will never cease to assist Ireland
until she has reached the goal of her
ambition. The Tories can rest assured
of this fact.

HERE is a new argument for the
practice of street preaching. Rev.
Joseph Cook, at meeting in Boston
organinized to obtain a repeal of the Or
dinance against preaching on the Com
mon, said, Ito prevent preaching on
the Common is hardship on people
who are too poor to be welcomed into
our churches.' What is the use of our
churches, then, if the 100 poor'' peo-
pie are not welcomed into them.

TODAY March III is also the ami
versary Of tue foundation of the Chari
table Irish Society of Boston. 1t wsss
organized in 1877. The Irish element
had at that time become SO numerous
that at meeting Of it's principal me ~
bers held On St. Patrick's Day, 1877, it
was decided to form q national and
benevolent organization to be known
as the Charitable Irish Society, to be
composed of men OF Irish birth or ex-
traction. This WAS the first association
Of the kind established on the cODtin-
ent OF America, the pioneer in the path
of Irish-American progress, and 1t
still hourishes in undiminished vigor,
old in years but young in spirit, like the
nation whose name it bears, and which
has such right good reason to be proud
of it. 1t has g iven gallant soldiers and
general officers of distinguished merit
to the Republic not only in the first
struggle against British despotism, but
in later conflicts, and specially in that
for the preservation of the Union, aud
gives to day promise of a future as
brilliant as it's past has been glorio US.
The meetings were con tinued uninter-
ruptedlY until l775, after which date
none were held until 1884. proof that
the members ''were not idle spec
tators of the great and successful effort
made by America for its independence.
x 4 When heart and band and
blood were required in the cause OF
liberty they contributed their share
most cheerfully. and when the cause
had triumphed and they rested from
their labors, one of the ficst acts Of the
society on resuming it's meetings
and intercourse was to congratulate
each other on the success which had at
tended their efforts" The Society is
now, after a century and a half OF ex-
istence, stronger and mare influential
than ever and embraces within its
ranks some OF the most prominent clti-
zens Of Massachusetts. a#

ST PATRICK,S DAY.

This is a day of rejoicing. There is
no need to rehearse the history OF the
great SAINT whose anniversary we
keep. From many a pulpit, and many
q platform there shall be told to-day
that OLD but ever welcome story of Pat
rick, the glcrions apostle pf Erin, who,
like another Moses, led his people from
the darkness and slavery of error into
the bright light of true liberty in
Christ.
He found, indeed, in the Irish nation
material easily moulded to the love OF
God. Pagan ireland possessed civil
;zatic,n far in advance of that Of either
Greece or Rome. While the luxury
and 1nbridled passions OF the Greeks
and Romans were eating away the very
yita!s of the power built up by the
courage and self denial OF their faith
ers. the Irish carefully cultivated the
natural virtues, and repressed by
stringent laws anything that might
produce sf6minacy or corruption. Is it
any wonder that to such a people so
trained the Gospel Of Christ was &C
ceptable? 1t filled the long felt de-
sire Of their hearts. It was the perfec-
ton after which they had been. by hui
man means, long. blindly, but earn
estly seeking. To them may be truly
applied the words of the Psalmist:
ssrheir souls had sought Gcd in the
night.
Hence the ardor with which they en-
braced the truth, hence the tlrmness
with which they have chung to it, ever
rejecting with scorn hereticai innova-
tions, or aught else that would separ-
ate them from the loye Of Christ and
communion with his vicar on earth.
And feeling themselves freemen in
Christ, they would be slaves to no man.
Tried in the. furnace of persecution,
they proved true to faith and love Of
freedom. They were beaten but never
conquered; they never bore with pa
thence the yoke Of the tyrant, and time
after time, whenever even the faintest
glimnaer of hope seemed to light the
way, they rose to struggle for liberty,
and though again and again overcome,
on ttle battlefield or on the scaffold,
they gladly gave their lives as protests
AGAINST oppression. Irishmen Sons

IN a leading article entitled The
parliamentary Situation in England
the Moniteur de Rome makes some
comments on the coercion policy OF the
Salisbury-Balfour Government which
it would be we'll if those gentlemen and
their supporters would take to heart.
Zone thing certain" says the Moni-
teur, lis that the coercion laws have III
no way disarmed the Irish National
party. On the contrary, the National
lists are more ardent than ever in the
assertion of their claims" The opin-
ion of this journal is that 1.-The correct
and durable solution Of the Irish ques-
ton is not to be found in these rigor
Gus measures and that coercion is
merely a hazardous expedient which
cannot but result in failure" This, of
course, means the downfall of the
actua! Ministry-a possibility which the
Moniteur does not look upon as highly
improbable. In conclusion, the article,
which throughout manifests full SYM
pathy with the Home Rule cause, urges
the Irish people to follow the advice
given by His Holiness in the recent
pilgrimage, and to keep their agitation
within the law. Ireland will be the
first to gain from this attitude-she
will win the sympathy of English
opinion and the Balfour policy will
correspondingly become more and
more odious and simpract cable. ii

England's most eminent statesmen and

pursuit Of knowledge Sad experience
has taught them the wholesome lesson
that all trivial differences are to be put

TIE SPIRIT OF TIE TIMES.

Throughout the great trials Of the
Irish people there is no more noticea-
BILE feature than the unanlmity of SEN
timent which prevails amongst all
classes of the people. The women are
equally as anxious as the men to suffer
for the great cause. Mr.. Balfour has
made no distinction in striking down
public liberty in Ireland. Not only
men but boys, not only boys but women
and young girls, have been brought
within the purview of his police law.
But as with the men, so it is with the
girls. They are not only not frightened
or coerced, but it appears to be the par
ticular joy of their rebellious young
hearts that they did something to de-
serve Mr.. Balfour's attention. Miss
Bridget Kilkelly, of Creshna, County
Galway, was one Of Mr.. Balfour's earl
lest victims under the Coercion Act.
The Dublin Freeman recently published
list Of the women who had suffered
under tho Crimes Act, but omitted the
name OF Miss KilkelIy, and she writes
as follows to that paper:
CHUsHNA, Kinvara, Co. Galway.
