THE

GREAT REJOICING.

ee

Dupin, Feb. 7.

Archbishop MacEvilly, at the opening of the annual Retreat in Tuam Cathedral to- day, declared that he had authority to deny the rumors thatthe Pope opposed the legitimate aspirations of the Irish peo- ple. Notinthe world was there a heart that beat with more friendship for Ireland than Pope Leo’s. The high position of His Holiness had imposed a reserve, but ne had never turned against Ireland.

There is great rejowing here over the news that Sir Thomas F. Grove ayd Ben- jamin Hingley, Liberal-Unionist members of Parliament, have become Gladstonians.

Germany and Russia.

sr. Pererssuec, Jan. 5.

Viedomoaisi gays the publication of the Austro-Gégman treaty is an act of political incivility, @md the treaty itself an act of pertidy amd ingratitude towards the late Czar, to whom Germany was greatly in- debted for her unity. It insists the treaty was offensive as well as defensive, and ad- vocates Russia's abstentation from all Euro- pean counter alliances. Russia, it says, can have no dealings with Europe, not even with France, but ‘must contine herself to Eastern mission The Moscow

ler great (sanzetle propeses nearet rapproachment with England, and asserts that Lord Churehill, on his recent visit, conversed

sriously with Russian _ Statesmen on the

necessity of England aud Russia mutually guranteeing themselves against the dangers of the central Earopean league and Bis- marck's Caesarism

The Moscow Gazette, discussing the

\ustro-Cierman treaty, says: ‘* Hence- forth it will be impossible for Russia to coutide in allies whose hostility towards her has been proned. An alliance between Russia, England and France should be

Bismarcks Speech.

Lonpon, Feb. 7.

Bismarck's speech is volubly discussed in political circles to-day and on the whole favorably The weak point considered is the abandonment of the defence of Tarkey. It is believed that if Salisbury should assist in the maintaining the status quo public opinion would support the (rovern- ment

Paris, Feb. 7.

Several papers say that Bismarck’s speech was more peaceful in appearance than in reality. They contrast words with acts including the military loan bill and increase of the army. Statesmen express the belief that Germany sincerely desires peace equally with France, but ask whe- ther Bismarck really serves acause for peace in proclaiming Germany's military strength m terms which wound the imour propre of other nations, and justify Russia's armament.

Artillery Competition. Orrawa, Feb. 7.

Artillerymen here say there is no dis- position on the part of the Government to grant money sufficient to enable the Do- minion Artillery Association to offer prizes for competition at the Island of Orleans next year; anc, therefore, it will not be ad- visable to further press Old Country volun- teer teams who proposed to pay a visit to Canada

Srr,--[ was glad to seein one of your late publications a very able notice of the preposed Subway tothe mainland. With of information you may, per-

tv enlighten your readers as to the various (auuels or subways now com- pleted or im progress in Epgland ;-but I will call your atiention to the opposition offered to eve ry improvement by some

SENEX,

A Question.

Str,—-Several. letters have appeared ia your paper lately for and against Spiritual- istn, sv-ealled. Those in favor of Spiritual- ism claim that the dead are conscious, and that they can, and do, communicate. with the living, through “a mediur;: ~those against it, not denying the teaching of the vther, namely, that the dead are Conscious, but claiming thatthey cannot, and do not communicate with the living. » Now, why should people whose belief is’ so similar, disagree on such a small issue? Why should the orthodox teaeher who believes in a conscious state of the dead, and who probably believes, as many orthodox people do, that the dead are not only conscious, but that, untrammeled with the flesh, they have much clearer perceptions than when living, and who, possibly (no prebably) are cognizant of all transpiring among men ; why should he tind fault, we ask, with his Spiritualist brother who holds the same doctrine, but who merely goes a step or two further, and finds, apparently to his satisfaction, too, a means whereby he may communicate with the conscious dead. Now, a belief which so closely concerns mankind, should certainly have for its foundation something stable, else any building thereon is not safe, and is, simply, time, labor and material wasted. . We would, therefore, in all earnesthess, pro- pound « question to both Spiritualist and and Orthodox teachers, and we hope they will answer in all honesty, namely : Upon what authority is founded the received be- lief of both, that the dead aréconscious ?

To Patrick Cullen, Esq., Ae eper of the Law Courts, Charlottetown. ° Sirn,—We, the Jurors who sat on the case

of the Queen vs. William Miliman, would now

express to you our deep regret that in the hurry of the moment we forgot that. the words ‘‘ officers of the Court” did not include you.

Concerning Cancer.

A Boston lady of 60 was told that she must have her cancer cut out. She was very delicate and preferred death. 4. friend induced her to pick red clover blossoms, make a tea, and drink a cupful at least twice daily. The cancer seemed, after a time, to disappear, and she lived to be very old. This friend had come of a family who all died of cancer, and she told me that every summer she took clover téa once daily for several weeks, and that it kept her blood = from the taint,and she had reached a good age.
