This brings the gruesome story down to 1807, and from here we may let the writer speak more fully.He opens a page of the book which we do not remember to hare seen before.He says : \u2018 England had nowfreaiized the important fact that the commercial development of the Western world had placed Ireland in an objective position of the highest vaine.She lay in the high stream of progress.Her western and southern shores were indented with deep and safe bays and harbours.A ship-canal from Galway to Dublin would capture every on the Atlantic bound for Liverpool, saving two days in sailing time ; and the Insh were bent on catting such a canal.The great fall of the Insh rivers was an inestimable treasure, greater even than the mineral, wealth of Ireland, and the fisheries of the coast.Every ship going through an Irish canal was in danger of forgetting the southern English ports, Bristol and Southampton.Every mill built on an Irish stream would deduct from the profits of Lancashire.Every ton of coal or other mineral dug in Deland lowered the prices in' Nottingham, Sheffield, and the Black country.If the Irish farmers\u2019 children could get work in mills and mines and shops, their earnings would make their parents independent of the landlords, and renU would have to be lowered.It *a« clear that Ireland's advance must be stopped, or she would become a dangerous competitor and a democratic example for Great Britain.\u201d Much of this is specious ressoning.The argument is more speculative than real, and Mr.O\u2019Rbiiay may scarcely be said to make out a good case.He says that the British Government only released the Fenian prisoners at the bidding of the moral pressure of the world, and especially cf America.This is hardly eorrecQ The world did not interfere with England\u2019s management of sonera, and as for America, that country has never exerted an influence over Bri tain in tbe shaping of a policy once decided upon.Mr.O\u2019Rxilly\u2019s imagination runs sway with him.He finds room to mention such patriots as Michakl Davttt, John O\u2019Leary, John Drvoy, O\u2019Donovan\tRose a, Charles Kick hah, Thomas Clarke Luby, Daniel O\u2019Connell and Mr.Rarnell, but he has not a word to say about that great Irish leader, Isaac Bott, who was one of the ablest sons that Ireland has produced Indeed, Mr.O\u2019Reilly leaves out scores of true patriots in a wholly indefensible way.Even O\u2019Connell is not done justice at his hands.It was,says he, \u201cO\u2019Connell and the Iriah people ; not the Irish people and O\u2019Connell.\u201d The in trod action of Parnell on the scene iq thus made : \u201cThen fresh from Oxford with his cold English training, his Yankee blood and Irish patriotic traditionary feeling, came Parnell with a new message and a new method.No need to follow his steps.From the morning that he first laid his hand on the Irish key-boord the race listened to him.He has done what O\u2019Connell failed to do, enlisted all creeds and classes,\u2014landlords, professional men* tradesmen, peasants.He has made the larger Ireland in exile one body with the five milliont at home The Radicals have j'oined his force», believing in the man.The Bishope and priests are his warmest supporters.A Protestant, a landlord, an aristocrat, and a Home Ruler, he has the support and friendship of Archbishops Walsh and Croke, Michael Davitt, the Fenians, the fermera» the laborers, the mechanics.He has drawn together the forty millions of pec pie who respond to the Irish bsro meter, in all lands, and made them into one marvellous, moral, organized na tionality, supporting Ireland with public opinion, imitation and money.The thirty millions of Englishmen are confronted with this extraordinary clondlike, but ab \u2022olutely real and potential Iriah force and as yet they do not know quite what it means.The late elections have opened the eyes of the world to the fact that Ireland is overwhelmingly noi^rmii ; Eighty-six out of one hundred and three Irish members stand behind Mr.Parnell in Parliament, pledged to vote as he leads, utterly irrespective of British interests or desires.Liberal or Tory in England may join to defeat the Iriah strength ; but it will be only for a year or two.It is clear now that another Cromwell must sweep Ireland with fire and sword or that England must grant her constitutional demand for Home Government.\u201d This is pretty vigorous writing.Mr.O'Reilly doss not think that Ireland will get much out of the present Parliament* The new House cannot last long.The reviewer thinks that it will take three years to vaccinate England with tbe idea of hom*» rule, aod allow it to \u201ctake/f In conclusion Mr.O\u2019Reilly says : \u201cIn returning eighty-six Nationalist members to Parlm meat, the Irish have not endsd, but just begun their national struggle.There are three stages in pacific reform : agitation, controversy and legislation.The Irish have passed through the first, and are entering tbe second.Parnell, with fifteen or twenty votes was not a power ; he was only a voice, an emphasis, an appeal.He wee an agitational influence.With eighty-six votes he is a controversial force.\u2018He has compelled John Bull to listen to him,' as Wendell Phillies said of him.In NOTES AND NEWS.Fwksh and Frausant.\u2014Such is tbe quality of

trainload of rquare timber consigned to Messrs.R.R.Dobell A Co.The timber consisted of square birch, manufactured at Lake Sept Isles, near St.Raymond, and came into town by the Lake St.John Railway.As a large proportion of the lumber landed on these docks will be enabled to go direct into the ils without lighterage, it is probable that a great deal of sawn lumber as well as timber will be handled there this year.A Canadian Author Abroad.The Revue Coloniale Internationale, «stab-fished at Amsterdam by the Association Coloniale Neerlaqdaise, announces the publication of a paper, \" Canada aa a

PAPAL DECISION SAID TO HAVE BEEN GIVEN IN FAVQROF LAVAL.The rumor published, a few days ago.that news had been received to the effect that a decision from tbe Holy See had been received in connection with the Jesoitreal estate claims is pretty generally credited, and it is currently stated that tbe Papal decision is against the order.\t'\u2022 t;?It is a well known fact that, during the last ceotury, the Jtsuite were temporarily banish ed from Europe Filth the exception of Russia aod England.At that time the Society were the owners of valuable real estate in Canada which war coni}tooted and became tbe property of tb»Gev«rament.Io 1801 the order was reetored-^hy Pope Pine VII and the Jesuit Fathers soon -afterward-claimed that the property which bed been confiscated should in law be returned to them.Although no formal claim was ever soade by the order on the Government praying for the restitution of the property an agitation' wee commenced and several friends of tha Reverend Fathers warmly championed their cause.Shortly after the Laval-Viotoria con troversy commenced a counter agitation was commonoed on behalf of Laval, and His Qrac* Archbishop Tasoherenu.ia laying tbe cam before tbe Holy See, claimed that be was tbe proper person to eoaduot any negotia lions with the government for the restitution of the property, and, moreover, in the event of the govern niant acceding to tbe request, that it sboold be administered by ilia Grace, the revenues fô be employed for educational purposes, and more especially for the maintenance of tk* branch of Laval University in Montreal.It is said on excellent authority that the petition of the Archbishop has been granted at Rome, and that the distiogùished prelate will immediately: proceed to nrge upon the Government the justice of tbe claim aod trill oee all hit influence to have the property banded over to the ohurob.Among lawyers here, very few are met with wno believe in the legality of this claim and it may be

Province, the Quebec correspondent of the Montreal Post stated that tbe honorable gentleman had passed through this city \u2018incog.,\u2019 and that special pains hsd been taken to keep the fact quiet ; thie unfounded statement was prompt, jy contradicted in these oolnmns.On New Year\u2019s morning the Chronicle announced that Mr.Costigan was about to leave bis homestead at Grand Falla, N.B., for Ottawa, but, unfortunately, the information which reached here was not definite enough, or else the time of bis arrival in this city would have been announced at the same time.The non-pnblioation of the city papers on Saturday larther precluded the giving of the neoeeeary information to aa to be availed of by bis many warm friends.Mr.Costigan arrived in Quebec on Friday night per Intercolonial

amongst us to give expree.sion to onr sentiments of esteem and regard for you.Dnriog the many years of yonr legislative oare«r, noth in onr Local Legislature and io the higher sphere, the Dominion Parliament, we have observed with pleasure yonr manly and consistent coarse, ever reffeoting credit and honor open yourself and upon the County and Province of which you are the honored representative.We heartily appreciate your efforts in behalf of the Iriah people, as evidenced by the postage through oar Parliament of ths now femoua COSTIGAN RESOLUTIONS, and we are fain to hope that the spirit and letter therein expressed may prove froit-fnl in the crisis now pending in the Mother Conutry in reference to the future govern roeit of Ireland.We are nob, at the rame time, uomindfnl of yonr steadfast ai.d strenuous exertions connection with the New Brunswick School Law.Whilst some among us have had the great pleaaate of a personal intimacy with yon for years, and who esteem you for your strong attachment to native country and tha Father* land, and who love yon for your many gift* of heart and mind, it is a source of regret to others among ns that wa have not had that honour at an earlier time.In conclusion, we ask your acceptance of this OCR CHRISTMAS OFFERING, accompanied by onr^heartfelt wishes for a HAPPY AND PROSPKBOÜ3 NEW YEAR.James Reynolds, John Kelly,

elaborate ana graphic as if the trial was for murder and the prisoners victims of circumstantial evidence.People from all the country around came in to the bearinge with their best rigs as on chnrch days.Young Hitchcock took advantage of the trial to propoee marriage to Miss Christopher, and his offer was accepted.She ia dis.posed to retira from the school, bat tha Christopher faction insists that she must continue to teach.On the other hand the Lewis faction declastethat Miss Emily shall panne her studies at the Finley School, aod intimate that if Miss Christopher ever attempts to chastise her sssin there will be a tragedy.Tbe Commissioners will probably take the case in hand and dismiss both teacher and pnpil.The legal expenses of the two trials will sum up over $3,000, A FEUD

to Shoot Both Teacher and Lover\u2014The ' Town Divided into Bitter Factions.Auburn, III., Dec.31\u2014One of the most singular social disagreements that ever divid ed a community has separated the 1,500 in habitants of thü| peaceful village into two rancorons factions.Between the families of J.M.Christopher and James R.Lewis, brothers-io-law aod noh farmers, a feud has existed for several years over an inheritance, bat not antil recently have the neighbors shown any dispositioo to champion the cause of either.Three months ago Miss Ennioe Christopher was graduated a teacher and waa given what is known as the Finley Sotool.She is twenty-two years old and for some time had been re cpiving attentions from Frank Hitohoook, one of thé village beaus.Among her scholars^ she was surprised to find Miss Emily Lewis her eighteen-year-oUl cousin.Teacher and pnpil soon developed a hatred for one another which the scholars were not slow to notioe.The one was severe and tyranioal, the other disobedient and at times intractable.The scholars told of the awfol passages at words which the two girls passionately lo-dnlged in, and the town, from discoseing the scandal, uncoosoioosly began to take sides, uolil at length many old iriends found their social relations completely dissevered.Just bsfore tho end of the holiday term an nansuall?bitter controversy was had over geometrical problem which terminated in Miss Christopher calling Miss Lewis a block head and Miss Lewis accusing Mias Christopher of knowing lees abont mathematics than her pupils.Miss Christopher undertook to ohastise Miss Lewis for her insoleooe, but after a violent souffle in which both young ladies lost their bangs and inflicted several disfiguring scratches upon one another, the teacher retired, a little the worse off for tbe eflert.The town scandal ran so high that night that a number of yonng men quarrelled and fought over the merits of the affair.Mias Christopher gave no intimation of her purpose* bat whtn school opened on the following morning yoang Hitohoook, the lasty ana obedient lover, was the first - to enter.He \u2022 given a seat beside Miss Christopher\u2019s desk.Miss Lewis was called, bot declined to leave her seat, whereupon Miss Christopher walked up the aisle and again grappled with her rebellions relative.Hitchcock followed and, grasping tbe hands of Miss Lewis, held them pinned behind her back until Misa Christopher had satisfactorily punished her with R long strap.Upon being released the girl fled home in tears and related the method of her chastisement to her mother.The mother flew into hysterical rage and, snatching np her husband\u2019s revolver, hastened over to the school.Discipline hsd meanwhile entirely vanished and when Mrs.Lewis arrived npor the scene it was one of ild disorder in which the scholars were loudly upbraiding the teacher and her lover for their condnot.Mrs.Lewis rnshed into the room with pistol in hand and her finger on tbe trigger, aud had not a couple of placky boys taken the revolver away from her she would doubtless have shot both her nieoe and yonng Hitchcock.She sought the next best retaliation by having them arrested.They were tried before a magistrate for assault and battery last Thursday and the jury disagreed.Then they were re-arrested for disorderly Hooping a Barrel Putting a hoop on the family flour barrel is su operation that will hardly bear an encore.The woman generally attempts it before the man comes heme to dinner.She sets the hoop np on the end of the staves, takes a deliberate aim with the rolling pin, and then shotting both eyes, brings toe pin down with all the force of one arm, while the other one instinctively shields her face.Then she makes a dive for the camphor and unbleached muslin, and when the man comes home she is sitting back of the stove, thinking of St.Stephen and the other maityis, while a burnt dinner and the camphor are straggling for the mastery.He eaya that if she had bnt kept her temper she wouldn\u2019t have got butt.And he visits the barrel himself and pute the hoop on very carefully, and then adjust* it so nicely to tbs tip of every stave tost only a few smart raps apparently are needed to bring it down all right.And then he langhs to hims-lf to think what a fusa his wife kicked np for a simple matter that only needed a little patience to adjust itself ; then he gets the ham-, mar and gives the hoop a smart rap on one \u2022ide, aod the other flies up and catches him on tbe nose, filling h;s soul with wrath and bis eyes with tears, and the next minute the baml is fly log across the room, accompanied by the hammer, and another candidate for camphor and rag is enrolled in the great army that is uacessingly marching toward the grave.\u2014Danbury News.The Hereford Almanac and Cook Book msilrd free on application to the Romford Obemical Works, Providence, R.I.CHRISTMAS ! j^NGLISH PRINTS FROM 8c.per yard.English
