to £1,035 currency. ‘To this both the Plain-
till’ and his partner testified, ‘Their testimony

Honor to Whom Horor is Due.

Tt has been said by a few unfortunate
mortals who have striven in vain to gain po-
sition of honor and distinction, that they were
not sufficiently appreciated. While such may
sometimes be the case, itis generally to be
true deserving worth is cordial-
ecopted and honored, whether applied to
religion, politics, the arts, or invention. Next

to religion. invention or discovery has the
highest position, for it wields a mighty infiu-
ence; tarough its channels nations have

overlesped, as if by magic, the bounds of
separation, and united by electric wires, can
converse togéther at momentary will,

Indeed, the diversified efforts of man’s
ius in these resje@ is are a source of ade
iration and gratitude to the whole human
race. In medicine, science has revealed
during the last quarter of a century, many
hidden truths, which had before been con-
sidered to be impo. 2s The malignity

NEWS SUMMARY.

It has been ‘ong predicted that the
latter days of the world should be peril-
ous times, characterized by wars, rumors
of wars, and carthquakes in divers
places. Whether or not the end of the
world is near we do not pretend to say,
being neither a prophet nor the son of a
prophet, but that men’s hearts are failing
them for fear of the things that are com-
ing upon the earth, requires no more than
ordinarily acute vision to perceive. Un-
easiness seems to haye taken possession
of the world. Fenianism has, perhaps,
contributed to this at home, as much by
the mysterious secrecy of its counsels, by
the rumor of its unknown powers, a8
by the tenor of its actual displays. With
every mystery there is connected by the
mind of man something of fear, and the
knowledge of the fact has becn turned
to account by the enemies of our country.
The British Government seems to have
at last arrivedat a conclusion, long since
attained by observant men in these Pro-
vinces, viz.: that Amertcan intrigues are
at the bottom of the disaffection. It has
begun to deal with the emissaries of
democracy caught in the act of sowing
firebrands and death. An insolent howl
from the other side of the water has of
course been evoked, and the usual
amount of brag and bluster have been
heard within the walls of Congress.-
George Franeis Train, a fair specimen
of the American Radical, and long known
to_have had the disease—Hngland on the
brain—was quietly arrested on board the
‘* Scotia,’ before he could set foot on
land, on suspicion of being a Fenian
agitator. He has since been released
for want of legal evidence, and telographs
to his friends in America that he has
sued the British Government for one
hundred thousand pounds. A resolution
declaring the sympathy of the nation
with the Fenians has just passed in the
United States House of Representatives.

General Grant, of whose election to the} position is now manifested to consider |
and weinedy them in so far as this |

Presidency there is little doubt, favors

He is of the opinion that sooner or later
England and America will be forced into
contlict for the purpose of settling their

in the shop at the time | relative positions, and deciding once for

all their relative political strength—that
the sooner the struggle comes the better,
and that the Alabama case is as good a
pretext for it as any other. Our readers
who are acquainted with history will
readily recognize this position as exactly
similar to that of France, in the days of
the French Revolution. It was then the
aim of that Republic, as it is the aim of
the American to-day, to subvert all
thrones, overthrow all dynasties, and
place the mob of every country in power.
Led by revolutionary zeal, vance carried
fire and sword throughout Hurope, until
the European monarchs banded them-
selves together and crushed her to the
earth. If the American people make up
their mind to follow the same path, they
will rouse against them every crowned
head in Europe. ‘The isswe then would
not be doubtful. The chastisement of
the Americans would do more to clear
away Fenianism and other political cob-
webs of like nature, than half a century
of wrangling and protestations.

The speech of the Emperor of the
French, on New Year's Day, was very
quiet. The general impression, however,
is that ** still waters run deep.” Napo-
leon is pushing through a Bill to make
one million and a quarter Frenchmen
into soldiers. Ife is negotiating for 4
loan for ** public works,” which is sup-
posed a scheme for placing hims position for war, so far as the sinews of
it are coneeined. ‘The ** Public Works”
may turn out to be army trains.

The progress of Austria during the
past year has been perfectly astounding
Lwelve months ago, the country was ex-
hausted and desolate, but through the
incredible energy of Baron Beust, coupled
with the fact of a magnificent harvest,
Austria at the beginning of 1868, shows
to great advantage in comparison with
other parts of the world. Commerce,

FENIANISM—ITS CAUSES.

Prominent among the events brought
to our notice by our exchanges during
the past month, stands out in bold array
Fenianism, not in Ireland or in Canada,
but Menianism in England; which in that
country has assumed an aspect that is so
revolting, and so opposed to every prin-
ciple of enlightened humanity, that we
were disposed at first to doubt the truth-
fulness of the reports which had been re-
ceived. Butdoubt has had to give place
to a belief in the perpetration of deeds so
wicked and heartlessly cruel, which have
by their diabolical machinations, been
made instrumental in ushering so many of
their unoffending fellow beings so instan-
cously into eternity, and of rendering
so many more helpless and miserable ob-
jects through life, that we have come to
jth conclusion that in the examination of
these culprits, it would be well to enquire
where they received their education, and
what their position in society is, or was,
that is occupied by their preeeptors. It
is but too evident that many of these
}fanaties are what is called educated men;
but their knowledge of chemicals, their
uses and powers, have, it is plain, but
added to lead them into more dreadful
cfforts to commit deeds so odiausly repul-
sive. That Ireland has wrongs to contend
with, and has had injustice dune to her,is
what we believe, and have hitherto main-
‘tained, but assassination is not the means
‘that should be resorted to for their re-
jdress. We are glad to notice that a dis-

Thirty-four years ago in ** Blt ckwood's
Magagine” the Ettrick Shepherd is re-
presented thus :—

** Shepherd.—Alas! for Ireland.

North.—From the bottom of my heart
a voice responds—Alas for Ireland.

Shepherd.— Crn naething think se sir,
be dune for her—the gem vo! the sea?”

Every true son of Ircland loves this
‘* gem o’ the sea,” and every unbiassed
observer notices in the true Irishman, a
warm enthusiasm and nobility of mind,
that is so rich in eloquent originality of
thought that it only makes regret miucl:
more sad, when seen in the perpetrating
of acts which show that the noble in-
stinets and impulses of their better nature
must have become fearfully blunted, be
fore the warm hearted Irishman could.
commit such deeds of,—

** Inhumanity to man;”
and therefore it is that we look forward
to what will be done,and to what is pro-
posed to be done, for the redress of griev-
ances in this unhappy country,with much
interest. ‘The causes of discontent and
their removals, have occupied considera-
ble attention of late—our space admits
only of taking a glance at two of them;
and first at the ery for the Repeal of the
Union which originates in a manifesto of
the very Rey. Dean O’Brien, and a num-
ber of Roman Catholic Clergyman of the
Diocese of Limerick. In this declara-
tion, the wrongs, grievances, poverty,

‘| discontent, and state of the country, are

ably and clearly pointed out and eluci-
dated, after which it considers the prac-
ticalremedics necessary for their removal,
from which we submit the following ex-
tract :—

“A land tenure will likely accomplish
something ; removal of the Protestant asven-
daney, by placing the Protestant Charch in
the same position before the state as the Cath
olie Church, will accomplish much; equality
in education, and the removal of the anomaly
of giving a freedom of education on the con
dition of people giving up freedom will do its
share—and we will hail any and all of them
with thankfullness; but we feel bound to say
that when allofthem have been granted, satety
from foreign dan yer, perfect developement of
home resources, above all, the heart of this
country will require nationality. Give Ireland
her own legislature and goverment of her own
resources—nationality and her federal amity
will be a tower of strength to the empire. The
country and people will have nothing to com-
plain of any more—they will be themselves
responsible for their own condition; con-
spiracies at home willhave nothing to plot
about, and conspiracies abroad can promise
nothing which Ireland wouldnot be ready to
reject and resist.” :

The next idea propounded, which we
shall refer to now, comes from the pen of
Mr. J. Boyd Kinnear, of Kinlock, in

scotland. Some writers in referring to
the sentiment of nationality existing in

Scotland, which is unhappily absent in
Ireland, have aseribed this to the royal
visits having been more frequent to the
former than to the latter country; but Mr
Kinnear says that the sentiment of na-
tionality now existing in Scotland grew
up ‘ within the period between 1750 and
1780, during which, and for fifty years
afterwards, no soyercign—I rather think
not even any royal Prince—set foot in
Scotland,” and traces the rise and growth
of the national sentiment in Scotland to
a different, and we think muzh more
reasonable and reliable source. He says
that Scotland as well as Ireland produced
two hostile tribes, both of whom were
equally opposed to English absorption,
and that the feclings of both were, and
have been subdued, and a sentiment of
strong nationality developed by *t govern-
ing Scotland for Scotsmen and by Scots-
men 3’ while the reverse has been the
case with Ireland. In Scotland the Lord
Advocate is, and has been a Scotchman.
In Ircland the Lord Lieutenant has al-
ways been an Englishm#h. In the Im-
perial Parliament when a committee is
appointe lon Scottish atfairs,if it consists
of 12, 10 of these are sure to be Scotch-
men,ifa similar one is chosen to investi-
gate an Irish grievance, or any local mat-
ter rclating to Ireland, and the committee
to consist of twelve, ten of them would
be Englishmen, and probably one or two
of them would be lish members. He

“Here is certainly a wide enough distinction
in the practical and present government of
the two countries. And Ido not hesitate to
ay that if the Irish system were imported
into the management of Scotland; if for our
Lord Advocate we had an English Secretary ;
if the representatives of royalty in the chureh
were an Englishman; if the examination into
Scottish grievan were made with a pre-
ponderance of Englishmen as to overrule, in
ease of difference of opinion, the Scottish ma-
jority, and ifthe resolution of the Scottish
members on Scottish billy were habitually set
aside by English representatives, there would
hein Scotlind a disaffection as deep, and if
disregarded, as dangerous, as there is in Ire-
land.” :

Mr. Kinnear asks that Ireland be zov-
erned in the same manner as Scotland
has been. ‘If,’ he says, ‘they will
make mistakes, it is but what has been
done already.”
