unfolded thesublime truths of the Christian belief. His preaching was crowned with wonderful success. ‘The Queen, the Princes fand Princesses of the kingdom became con- | verted, and their subjects followed in thou- ‘sands. St. Patrick followed up his victory, jand, in a short time, overthrew the pagan idols. He retired to the mountain, and, ‘after the example of Jesus Christ, prays and ' fasted forty days andforty nights. After hie | fast, he came forth and traveled East West, j and spreads the Gospel throughout the land, thus bringing down the blessings of |God upon the psuple. St. Patrick, during | his stay in Ireland, ordained 3,000 priests, lestablished 700 churches, aud consecrated | 365 bishops. His life drew to a clese in 493. ‘The preacher dwelt on the success of the labors of St. Patrick in Ireland. His success will astound generations yet unborn, and will continue until the sound of the last trumpet is heard. ‘Wherever the children of Ireland were to be found, the light of faith always surrounded them. Other nations, he said, have, at different times, suffered for their faith, but Ireland has always suffered. Still in no nation did Faith so strongly exist. The Reverend gentlemen concluded his sermon by an eloquent elulogy of the Irish people through- ont the werld on their steadfastness to the Catholic religiou.

At the conclusion of the Mass the pro- cession re-formed and paraded Great George, Water, Queen and Richmend Streets, to the Hall. Te-night a grand literary and musical entertainment will be lheld in the Market Hall for the relief of the Irish sufferers.

_— Maritime Union.

A correspondent of the Mencton Times writes : ‘* We cannot think that the ques- tion of Maritime Union is dead; on the contrary we believe that it is now just warming into new life and demands our careful consideration. Does it not seem absurd, intimately connected as they are by railways and other modes of transit, that these Lower Provinces should have separate Logislatures and dissimilar legal systems,

THE question of ‘‘ fees’"—such, by the way, is a most important question— has been brouvht up by the Minister ef Justice. That officer, in a despatch to the Local | Government, lays down the principle that} no Canadian Judge should receive fees for

; their services or anything whatever in ad-| |

dition to their salaries as paid by the Do-| minion Government. The County Court) Amendment Act was sent back for amend-|

ment because it contained a clause which|

permitted County Judges to exact a fee in| certain cases—which, however, were so rare that some of the Judgés never had a chance | to take advantage of tie permission.

Father McGilvary, assisted Drs, Cheaisson|\ and Walker. An eloquent sermon was do- livered by the Rev. Father McGilvray, of which we publish the following summary:- The sverend gentleman began his sermon by describing the relation of the Saints to God, and also setting forth the reason for the reversnce shown by Catholics towards the Saints. He then! drew attention to the fervor and zeal with which St. Paul labored for God. saints, he said, immortalized themselves by; their great labor and love fer God, and among those was the great Saint whose feast we celebrate to-day. He then pro- ceeded wit': an elaborate description of the sufferings of St. Patrick during the period of his captivity in Ireland and, in eloquent terms, referred to the manner in which the holy saint, in his youth, in the mid- night hour, on the dark hills of Erin, pray- ed to God that He might give him strength to carry out the great work which, from holy visions, he knew he was destined to periorm, viz: the conversion of the Irish people tu Christianity. After six years of captivity, St. Patrick returned to Gaul, and there prosecuted studies which he knew would fit him for the task he was! about to take upon himself. Rome was | then the great seat of learning. Thither| he proceeded and, in the words ef the! preacher, “‘ drank deeply from the great! fountains of learning.” He was’ shortly | raised to the priesthood, and subsequently | consseratod Bishop by the great Celestina. | Hs returned to Ireland in the year 432. | The country was then in the darkness/ of lLarosrity.~ Its people adored beasts of the field.

Facts About Flour.

Fleur is peculiarly sensitive to the at- mospheric influences, hence it should never be pt in & reom with sour liquids, nor

in which it is stored. Any smell percepti- ble to the sense will be absorbed by the flour. Avoid damp cellars or lofts where a free circulation of air can not be obtained. Keep ina cool, dry, airy room,

T'o the Editor of the Lraminer.

Sir, —The Government of Ontario a few weeks ago, anticipating the repeal ef the In- solvent Law, passed an act, providing for an equitable division of estates to prevent debt- ors (as I understand it) from giving preferen- tial security to favored creditors and friends,

The Geverninent of New Brunswick alse contemplate enacting such a measure ; and I trust our Local Government will bo sufflcient- ly alive to the interest of the mercantile com- munity in this Prevince to do likewise, As imprisoument for debt is now done away with, we also should have on the Statute Book a lien and attachment law, as talked. of last session.

The following from ‘‘ Irishman” ia very beantiful :—‘* The Shamrock, the emblem of dear, dear Erin, he places on his manly i breast, and as the pulsations of bis warm heart shake the leaves of that plant that re- presents the Triune (tod, he utters a prayer for his brethren beyond the sea, and hopes that one day his bones will rest in Irish soil, by Irish waters, beneath an Irish sky.” Now, if our friends of the heather will apply the simile to their national emblem, thus: ‘* The Thistle, the emblem of dear old Scotia, he places on his manly head, and as the prickles from that honored plant irritate his Highland scalp, he thinks of his brethren beyond the sea, and utters the prayer, ‘God bless the Duke of \rgyle,’ and hopes that one day his bones will rest in Scotch soil, by Scotch waters (special blend), beneath a Scotch sky; (we might apply the sentiment to all other nationalities) but if it be indulged in, we shall require extra legislation to protect the Island from being depleted of its popnla- tion.
