CATHOLIC Record, London, Ont:
Frances Clare Cusick, formerly 1.-The
Nun of Kenmare," lectured in this city
on Friday Of last week. She had a very
small audience, and was in consequence
in no good humor. She told them that
if she had the filthy stories to tell that
some other lecturers were accustomed
to retail, she would have had more
hearers, but she would tell the truth.
Maria Monks and Father Chiniquy's
tales belonged to period further back
than she could speak of from personal
knowledge. She had no such expert.
ences as they 1elated-still Catholic
principles would lead to immortality if
only followed out. Nuns are very good
people, she says, but priests very bad.
The ex-nun has not yet arrived at the
degree of mendacity and shamelessness
which will make her successful No
Popery lecturer, but if she doesn't re-
pent soon, she will reach it in the near
future.

MRS. GLADSTONE has written let
ter TO the women Of Lowestoft urging
them to form Woman's Liberal As
soclation. She says the great question
of the day is Ireland, to which they
should give all their en- ergies- ques-
tion of mercy and justice which when
studied they would more and more see
and understand. Mrs. Gladstone con-
tinues: II have been astonished to find
how much ignorance there is about
Ireland, and how, when people have
acquainted themselves with England's
gross injustice towards her, they will
not put their shoulders to the wheel
and become enthusiastic to have the
privilege of helping her. Let us work
then. and form Womap's Liberal Asso-
Citations. God grant success to you and
all in this noble cause. [ thank God
my husband is in fine health"

MORE than two hundred thousand
Italians emigrated to America last year
in search of employment, and to avoid
the heavy taxes which are now imposed
on the people of Italy. Such is the
condition to which the present Athe-
istic Government has brought the
country. The confident predictions
which were made when the Pope's ter
rltories were seized by King Victor
Emmanuel, that an era of prosperity
was about to set IN, have certainly not
been verified. The interest on the
Italian debt, according to Mr.. Glad
stone, amounts to twenty.thre6 mill
lions, which is more than that on the
national debt of Great Britain, and the
amount is rapidly increasing every year.

EVERYBODY will remember reading
of the dlsgraceful drunken orgies that
took place at New York short while
ago, in connection with the Washing
ton Centennial. 1t appears that the
notorious flour hundred are not
through with the business yet. Mr..
Stuyvesant Fish, the manager Of the
ball, refuses to have his accounts audit
ed or to supply vouchers, or even to
make his accounts public. He claims
that the word of a leader of New York
society ought to be voucher enough.
On the other hand the committee re-
fuses to hand over the funds to pay the
accounts unless the latter are properly
audited.

FALSE AND UNJUST STATEMENTS.

FALSE AND UNJUST STATEMENTS.
Some of the veriest trash that has
been talked FOR long time past con-
corning the irish cause Is that which
from time to time appears in the New
York Herald in the letters Of an alleged
Member Of Parliament" We Lave no
desire to defend crime or wrong doing.
where it may be shown to exist, but we
do most emphatically protest against
the system practiced by this writer OF
jumping at conclusions for the sole
purpose of bringing disrepute upon the
national aspirations of a patriotic and
home loving people. Irishmen in Amer
lea might interest themselves solely, ii
they were constituted like some other
people that we could mention, in pro-
noting their own welfare and success
in this new land of their adoption. But
there is ever present in the Irish heart,
no matter under what sun or under
\ what SHOWS it may beat.a tender yearn'

A LITTLE child floated from the joins
town wreck to Pittsburg, a distance OF
forty miles, in an old-fashioned cradle,
during the food. 1t was picked up alive
and the mayor Of Pittsburg advertised
the waif. Unless claimant comes for
it the fiuder will keep it. A wealthy
citizen has offered ST., 900 for the child
to adopt as his own. That little one
was evidently not born to be drowned.

sides of the Emerald Isle, q love for the

ing for the green meadows and hill
sides of the Emerald Isle, love for the
old land bevond the seas, and a deep
abiding interest in its welfare and flu
ture prosperity. We have yet to learn
that love of home, love Of country is a
crime. English members of Parliament
may endeavor to disseminate their
views on these matters through the
medium of New York newspapers. but
their attacks on leading lrishmen
whose names have been used in con-
nection with the brutal murder of DR..
Cronin is entirely uncallled for, as all
the evidence thus far discloses.
The venom which underlies the state
ments of the Herald correspondent is
admirably illustrated by the unwar-
ranted way in which attacks are Dand-
led in the same letter against John Dill
Ion and William O'Brien. He asserts
that Mr.. Dillon is evidently making
rather poor progress in Australia and
then adds the very amusing clause,
las poor as Mr.. William O'Brien made
in Canada, except that Mr.. Dillon is
prudent and does not seek to infame
popular passions" This is the very
richest kind Of nonsense that we have
read for very long time past. If Mr..
Dillon only meets with anything like
the success that MIR. O'Brien did in
Canada, he can cel tain'y wish for Moth
ing better. Member of Parl1ament's
letter can deceive nobody in the United
States where everyone knows what
gratifying success the ardent patriot
O'Brien received in Canada in expos
ing the heartless rackrenting and
cruelty of Lansdowne, then Governor
General of that country, now the hero
Of LGggacurran. The falsest anG most
unjust statement in the letter before
us is that Mr.. O'Brien sought to influ-
eace popular passions il Canada. 1t is
only too well known that the exact con-
trary to this is the truth and that the
attempt to infame popular passions
was all on the side of Mr.. O'Brien's en-
emies. The great patriot was we'll
nigh murdered on the streets of Toron-
to by the friends and followers of Lans-
downe, who acted like the mob of howl
ing dervishes that they actually made
themselves. We certainly hope that
Member of Parliament will cease trying
to impose such trashy nonsense upon
the people of this and the country adj
Joining.

IS IT INEVITABLE2

There seems to be but little reason
to doubt that the advent Of the great
international struggle for Which Euro
pean countries have so long been pre-
pairing, is close at hand and cannot be
much longer deferred. Europe is ap-
parently within measurable distance OF
the most terrific contest Of the century.
It may be that, even now, circum-
stances will arise which will lead to the
postponement Of actual warfare; but
this is unlikely. A few weeks ago. at
the time of the rumored visit Of King
Humbert to Strasborg, it seemed not
likely that spark would have set alight
the train of gunpowder which Europe
has been SO long engaged in watching.
For a moment the danger was ayeTted,
averted however in manner the least
pleasing to Prince Bismarck. and upon
which he had not calculated. France,
deeply outraged though she was, by the
prospect of the affront which it was
stated King Humbert was about to put
upon her, did not act in the impetuous
manner on which the German Foreign
Office had counted, The French press.
it is true, spoke out boldly and man
fully, but a marvellous self, control re-
strained the army and the people. So
contrary was this action to that which
Prince Bismarck and Signor Crispi an
ticipated that. we believe we are not
inaccurate in asserting that King Hum
bert's rapid return to Italy was due to
the expected immediate necessity for
the mobilization of the Italian army.
France, for the moment, defeated the
designs of her enemies by the exhibit
ton of patience and restraint which
her best friends can hardly have hoped
for. 1t is doubtful, however, if an un-
bearable situation can be protracted
much longer. Al! the elements of the
Continental political situation combine
in the one direction-namelY, towards
war, and it will not be matter for SUI
prise il the world is shortly confronted
by occurrences of the gravest character.

AS Sc, 600 of the New York arrests for
last year were of unmarried persons,
the inference seems clear that matri-
mony is a safeguard against the prison.
But matrimony being commonly life
sentence, the figures indicate strong
aversion on the part Of the average man
to that sort of safeguard.
