Like the other American historians,
Prescott and Motley, he filled high
political positions and displayed diplo-

of his official duties. He filled a place
in the cabinet and waa Minister to Eng

How Will It All End.

In answer to this query, the crow bar
edition of United Ireland has this to say
Somewhat in this way, we imagine: II
the conference prove failure, Mr.. Par
nell will go into the house of commons
at the head Of his thirty folio wers, just
as he did in 1880 at the head of thirty
five. 1t is his nature to become person :
ally power there. Neither Mr.. Glad
stone, nor the forty five whom Mr..
Gladstone succeeded in 50 thoroughly
frightening, can prevent that from hap
pening, because of Mr.. PArnell's ac-
knowledged political capacity. His
sagacity and his devotion to Ireland will
always lead him TO take the course that
is best for her interests. His sledge-
hammer force Of reasoning will instruct
the country as to the why and where
fore that induce him to adopt any par-
ticular course of action. The seoeders,
then, in despite of themselves, must per-
force go with them, since they know
that the men of ireland will stand no
paltering now with the interests of their
country. The patriotic priests, many of
whom are now against Mr.. Parnell, will
insist on the seceders going right in any
case, unless they want to be politically
killed at the next general election. To
avoid that fate they must 60 right, and
that is to say, in other words, they must
follow Mr.. Parnell. Thus, although
there may be no formal act of reoonc1-
liation, the Irish party will be virtually
| reunited under one head 1t may be q
principle or it may be man, but that
will be the old leader, who can claim
many substantial victories within the
last ten years. The doom which over
took Mr.. William Shaw's nominal
Home Rulers in 1885. we fancy, will be
sufficient warning to the seceders to
keep them in the straight path, however
willing they may be to merge themselves
in the British Liberal party and to forget
that they were elected as nationalists
and as members Of A party pledged to
independence of British parties,

there would be an ecclesiastic trial in
every diocese in the land, and If all the
heretics of every Protestant church were
burned at the stake, as Servetus was by
CALVIN, the awful fires would have to be
lighted in every town in the country
and kept burning ceaselessly day and
night. The Sun says that before the
Protestant clergy undertake to propa-
gate the Christian religion they must
first of all be converted to the faith
themselves. They must know whereof
they preach, and believe IN their own
hearts what they proclaim to others as
necessary for salvation. There are few
If any among the Protestant preachers
who can make an act of faith. They
have no fixed belief in anything and
speak at random to their congregations.

1t seems strange, when one thinks Of
the generosity of the Irish people, and
of their devotion to the Apostle through
whose exertions they received the faith,
that Oroagh Patrick, the mountain to
which st. Patrick is known to have re-
tired for fasting and prayer, should have
been left without church. A Jealous
Irish priest. however, has undertaken
the task Of erecting . temple which shall
httingly express the gratitude of the
people for their national patron, aud
their reverence for the place which his

movement, which has received the hearty
commentator Of the IRISH bishops, will

A Philosophe Proves That Prosperity Is

prosperity is always blessing"
said the dreamer
"It breeds quarrels, said the philoso-
pher.
"How do you make that out?"
"Watch."
The philosopher caught half dozen
boys about fruit stand. One of their
number, possessed of money, had pur-
chased pear. The others wished for
tin vain. The philosopher laid down
half dollar and told the dealer to give
the urchins fruit up to that limit. At
first there was little cheer of approval.
One boy took all his share in plums.
Another wanted an assortment, but
there was no damsons. Another Sc
lected fine peach, but third also
wanted that. He gave it up and tried
to take two apples Another boy
wanted one of the apples. A fourth
gamin snatched both apple and pair
lowed, caught and pummeled him.
While they were so engaged their own
goods were confscated for general use.
The dealer had to run them away with
club to keep them from overturning
his stand. A dozen fresh urchins, at
tracted by that sharp sense which tells
of spoil, flocked in, grew angry because
they had "been robbed" as they had
received nothing. And in five minutes
the block was full of struggling, fight
ing, bawling boys.
"All brought about by prosperity"
said the philosopher. Chicago Herald.
