An Iynuman Parent.— Alex. Lachane,
living wbout thirty miles below Quebec, has
been ested for inhuman treatment of his
child, a dumb eripple six years old. The
child (a girl) died titely, and the coroner's
investigation showed thatits death was ac-
eelerated if not caused by the orders of La-
chane, who habitually kicked it out of his
sight and beat its nother for giving it food.
Daring the inquest the prisoner got into a
warm discussion with those present, main-
taining his right, if not to killthe child. at
least to break all its bones if he saw fit to de
| $0, without the right of molestation by any
|
person. The poor little atom of humanity
was always keptout of sight, ina box stowed
haway under a bed in the sinall, ill) ventilated
| hovel of its brutal parent; and whenever the
child out of the black hole he allotted to. it,
he was inthe habit ef at onee kicking the
box and its inmate under the bed out of sight
agnin.
Tur Money Manrxets or Evrope.—The
Heonomist onthe subject has the following
remarks :—
** Alike in London, Paris, Brussels, Am-
sterdam, Berlin and Frankfort, the rate of
discount is only 3 per cent., and at all these
places the tendency is towards a still lower
rate. Yet, at each and all those cites, com-
plaints of the scarcity of money were never
more rife. We have suggested the real cause
ot a state of things that is a real reproach to
the intelligence of the age. Itis the fear of
war, of war for which we hold there is no
enuse that could stand the test of examinatio
either in morals or in polities. Ulaving stated
that, we are bound to add, on the other side,
that the apprehensions refi to appear to
have a great dealof exaggeration about them.
Ttis hard, no doubt, to convince people that
they ought to retain their confidence when
symptoms of alarm are clearly apparent; and
it would be unjustifiable to preach peace
where there is no peace. But war is a long
way off yet. With this view, the
expediency may properly be suggested ot im-
pirting a stiniiius to commercial movement,
by reducing the price’of discounts to 24 per
eent. Ifthis were done in London, Paris,
Amsterdam, Berlin, and Frankfort, where the
terms are now three per cent., it cannnot be
doubted that merchants would take advantage
ofit to expand their new contracted operations,
and that rulers and statesmen, seeing a revi-
val of energy in trade, which implies more
work for the laborer and more -profit for@he
master, and, therefore, greater comfort for
the people, and increased strength for the
State, would shrink from sacrificing substan-
tial benefits for the perilous honvurs attending
doubtful enterprises.

very plain truth™ibout the Chureh estab-
lished by law in Ireland, ‘There are in
freland four millions anda half of Roman
Catholics, about six hundred thousand
Protes dissenters, and somewhere
)cbout halt a million cf Churchmen, yet the
church of this insignificant minority is
made the church of the country, and the
|large number of Catholics and’ Dissenters
jare compelled to pay heavily towards the
jreligious instruction of the small number
of Churchmen living in Ireland. There
are one hundred and fourteen parishes in
| Ireland, the average number of Chureh-
jmen in each of which is fourteen! In
‘| some parishes the cost of the religious in-
struction of a single member of the estub-
lished chureh is £58. One parson pets
eleven hundred and odd pounds for teach-
ing a mere handful of churchmen, while
another fattcns on an income of more
than three hundred pounds annually,
without having a single parishioner of his
own faith to benefit by his valuable min-
istrations. We don't believe that this
state of things exists in any other country
under the sun, and we don't believe that
there is another people to be found who
would so patiently and good humouredly
tolerate such a monstrous injustice, us
the much-abused Irish. ’ Mr. Gladstone
said nothing more than the simple trath,
when he called the Irish Chureh anation-
ul disgrace. ‘The case of the Roman
Catholic and the Protestant Dissenter, in
Ireland, is a peculiarly hard one. He of
course cheertally contributes to the sup-
port of the priest or clergyman of his own
faith, but besides this he is compelled to
give part of his substance, and a very
jconsidcrable part too, to the minister of
a church in whose teachings he does not
believe. None of us on this side of the
