n Jewish question which is already
becoming troublesome has arisen in
Limerick, Ireland. says the New York
Post. 1t is however, said to be entirely
financial, not in the least religious.
There has been, it appears, Of late, a
great and uncommon invasion of low
class Polish and Russian Jews, and
these people have been selling goods to
the peasantry on the time system, and
have been eXacting heavy usury in
cases where the payments were not
made regularly. A court official re-
ports that out of 200 civil suits on the
calendar, no less than ITO were brought
by these Jewish immigrants for the
recovery of debts incurred in this man
ner. The Irish peasantry, unaccus,
toned to this sort of dealing, were
readily beguiled into purchasing goods
upon what seemed to them uncom.
monty easy terms, but found it very
difficult to make the subsequent pay
ments after the goods had been con
sumed or worn out. In time, the Irish
began to resent the exactions which
were due largely to their own IMPROVE

An extraordinary example Of return
to the church after nearly 50 years Of
apostacy occurred lately in Chicago,
says the Kansas City Catholic Register.
Father l.. La Font:line, when Il young
priest, was perverted by Chiniquy and
followed him to st. Anne, near kanka-
kee, ILL.,, where he taught school for
several years and was afterwards Or
GAINED as Il Presbyterian preacher. At
last, few months ago, when he was
O.. years Of age, the prodigal returned
to the bosom of the true church and left
all behind. lie is said to have entered
monastery to do penance there for
the rest of his days. His example
shows how long suffering and infinite
is the mercy of God, and may be cited
us an encouragement to those despair
ing sinners who are tempted to lose all
hope because of the length of time they
have spent in yrievous sin.
