The Church in ireland.

The Irish Catholic Directory for 1890,
edited by the Very Rev. Canon Keogh,
gives, as the statistics Of the Catholic
church in Ireland 81 Arohbishops d
Bishops, with two having no Jurisdiction
in the island; lob parish priests, 1895
administrators, curates and secular
priests not employed in parochial work;
542 priests belonging to regular orders;
making about 1874 priests, though there
are believed to be about 3, $50, some re-
tired or unemployed not appearing in
the returns. The regular orders once so
important in numbers in Ireland are
now chiefly in the province of Dublin,
which has 80 houses Of regulars and 277
regular priests, and in the province of
Cashel which has Is houses with 1877 re-
gular priests. The orders are chiefly
the Augustinians, Carmelites, Capuch-
ms, Dominicans, Franciscans, Congrega-
ton of the Holy Ghost, Society Of Jesus,
Ma1ists, Oblates, fassonists, Lazarists,
Order of St. John of God. The diocese
of Dublin has 51l priests, Meath stand
ing next with 1874; then Armagh with
179; Cork, 1877; Kildare, 1855. The United
States has now probably more Catholics
of irish birth and descent in part or in
whole than Ireland itself. With it's il
Archbishops, 70 Bishops, 1892 priests, it
has the greatest body Of English speak
ing Catholics in the world.

"Dun' is word now whose meaning
is known to every one who understands
the English language. About the begin
ming of the century constable in Eng
land named John Dun became celebrated
as frst-class collector of bad accounts.
When others would fail to collect bad
debt Dun would be sure to get it out of
the debtor. 1t soon passed into cur
rent phrase that when a person owed
money and did not pay when asked he
would have to be s'Dunned." Hence it
soon became common in such cases to
say "You will have to dun So-and so if
you wish to collect your money"
Until the nomination of Franklin

"$5 week, and [ am sure that am

ployer wants more let him pay more; if
he wants better let him pay better

but it is false, and it is destructive to
the best work, aud therefore to the best
manhood. No man can afford to do
anything less we'll than his best. He
who always strives to do his best work,
in the verv process Of striving. will

better equipped for workmanship. This
