Catholic Growth in Maine.

lfEOn the BOStOn- H1loG.
 Though the Catholic Norsemen had visi- ted Maine in the tenth century, and Boone Island and Mount Desert had their Chris tian altars, and Jesuits and Franciscans had labored successfully among the Indians many centuries later, yet at the beginning of this century Catholieity was all but ex- tinct in Maine.
 When the first Catholic congregation was organized there were but forty-three Catho- lies in Portland, and probably not as many more in the rest of the State. They were poor as well as few, and were it not for such survivals of an evil time as Messrs. Kellaway, Dorchester, Moxom, &c., it would be hard for us now to realize how their faith was misknoHn and hated. It was in Maine that the Know-Nothing craze culmi- mated in 1854 in the outrage upon Father Bapst. Catholic church wrecking was a favorite diversion of the KuoW-Nothinp mob, and in 1855 Bishop Bacon was obliged to abandon proposed cornerstone laying in Bath.
 Yet today in the diocese of Portland which includes the whole State, Catholics nnmber one hundred and thirty-five thou thousand ont of total population of abou seven hundred thousand. They have fifty two churches and eight chapels, one hundred and thirteen religious teachers, four aeade mics and fourteen parechia1 schools, witl nearly four thousand pupils. The Indial missions have been revived and the Catholi Indians number eleven hundred. There ar three schools for their children. The Indial missions are very dear to Bishop Realy, a I they were to his venerated predecessor. One might marvel at this prodigiou growth under conditions so long adverse, bu for remembering the proverbial fruitfulnes of martyr-blood, and the scene at the oil | mission cross at Norridgewock in 1724 l where the Jesuit Father Bale and thirt Catholic Indians of his flock gave their live ! for the faith.

QUITE ENGLISH.


 In the current number of the North American Review there is notable contrib ution to the tariff discussion. It is headed Common Sense at Last," and is described as 'sFrom letter by British peer"
 The writer of the letter finds the Mills bill to be a somewhat tinnid and tattering ad- vance to free trade, "but it shows that Amer ica has turned her back at last to the miss chievous teachings of your Websters and Clays, whose preposterous American sys- tenn (ss they called the protective system), has long taxed your native population for whata For the benefit, really, ot an insig- nifeantly small class of American mauufao- turers and horde of foreigners of the lower classes (chieHy Irish) who form the bulk of your manufacturing artisans, or mill hands. , But the Irishman of New York, if am not wrongly informed, is coming to his senses and will vote largely at the coming election for Cleveland and free trade"
 We English, continues the peer, have long been amazed at the commercial blindness of America to her true interests. And he goes on: You forbid your capitalists to buy our ships, although we can build them much CuchEcE hbaA yoO C0n Oos 0nA Jo0 ASHO sought by protective tariff to keep out our manufactures in order to build up 8 class of traders whose existence would depend on their power to demand and command higher prices for their goods, by reason of the tariff, ! than our traders could well afferd to sell you the same articles for. England owes her commercial supremacy to policy of enlight- ened self-interest rigidly adhered to. She buys raw materials wherever she can buy them cheapest, and she has often saved her adult industries, when threatened by the demands for higher wages by trades unions, I by importing labor from Belgium and other ! continental countries, and thus enabling her { to defy the combination and domination of
 workingmen, who pew aeem to rule your in- dustrial world.
 It is not surprising that the peer is not a believer in high wages for those who work. He asks: Is the laborer or his family any bet ter of for the piano in his room or silken l fneries for his wife and daughteri Do not these mock luxuries tend to dangerous dis- contenta Do not high wages encourage these poor people to live above their station and I to look for the real and unattainable 1uxu- ries of the richi
 This is "common senseh from an English standpoint. But it will not appeal very strongly to the common sense of the Ameri- can workingmen.

 have heard say time and again that they wonder how women manage to sit down when they have hustle. They do not won- der at any such thing. They simply speak little flo when they say so, that's all, for it isn't any harder for 8 woman with 6 hustle on to sit down than it is for man with pint flask of cholera mixture in his coat-tail pocket to do it. All he's got to do is to be little careful, of course, and that's all women with hustle on has got to do.
 The secret of it is this: When Q bustle- decked woman sits down, she does so sideWise. There is pretty little trick in it. She pre- tends she is going to sit on the right side of the chair and makes her frst movement in that direction: but just as she reaches the chair she moves gracefully to the other side, the hustle rolls to the right, entirely out of the way of the sitter, and the problem is solved. .ss"
