Archbishop Oroke once said OF the
Irish: s'They are the most faithful. the
most grateful, the most generous, the
most gentle, the most hospitable and
pious people IN the world. Enghshmen
are brave and resolute; Scotohnnen selfish
and cute; Frenchnfen are gay and gal
liant; Italians lively and artistic; Germans
thoughtful. strong and sulky; spaniards
proud and perhaps pedantic; but irish
men have some Of the best qualities Of
these nationaiihes. They are brave,
humorous, intelligent, fond of fun and
friendship, and might add. a reason
able share Of fight grave or gay. 90 need
may be, and withal supremely religious.

The Marquis Of Ripon, an English
Catholic nobleman, delivered an address
recently in London IN the course Of
which he said: ''Some might forget and
he was afraid there were many who did
forget what English Catholics owed TO
Ireland. How was it that he could hold
Office in the government Of the Empire?
To whom was it tnat he owed those
advantages which were denied to Gath
olics few generations back? It was to
that great Irishman, Daniel O'Connell,
and 1t seemed to him that 1t would
indeed be ungrateful if he did not, under
these circumstances, fully devote his
time and any abilities he possessed for
the advancement of the Irish people. !"

The flow of emigration from Ireland
| which was not by any means as large
this year as tn former years, has now,
according to all appearances. almost
spent it's force. The extra steamers
have discontinued calling, and the regu-
lar liners are farsfrom having their full
complement. Emigration showed q
slight increase in the month of June,
but, according to the Board of Trade
returns just issued, 1t still exhibits ,a#
marked decrease when the first six
months Of this year are compared WITH
the same period Of. 1889. The number
of Irish emlgrants in June was 5,286. as
compared with 5. ISL in the same month
last year; but the number for the six
months ended 30th June was only 81,
COS, as against AZ, 1O2 for the same
period of 1889. b. r.

It is refreshing, since most mont Gath
olics will have it that an indulgence is
permission to commit sin, to quote the
dictum Of Prof. Fisher, D. d, L. Il. D.,
of the Yale Theological Seminary, one
of the most eminent of Protestant di-
vines. In course of lectures on the
influence of the so-called Reformation
he touched on the subject of indulgences,
and set about earnestly to disabuse the
minds Of his audience Of a gross error
regarding Catholic doctrine One who
was present at these lectures thus writes
to the Christian Union: SAT length DE
declared. in words which { took down
stenographically from his lips his spleh-
did Indignation and scornful emphasis
those who heard him then can never
forget: The statement that the Roman
Catholic Church has ever taught that
the forgiveness Of sins can be bought
with money is an atrocious slander!'"

Prof. Mahafy. Of Trinity cc7lege,
Dublin, who recently made himself ri
diculous by bis criticisms of America,
which he knows principally through q
ten days sojourn here, has q reputation
for toadyism that is second to none.
When the late Duke OF Marlborough
was viceroy Of ireland. Lord Randolph
Churchill was his fathers private sec
