| A Larner and pleasant party of the mem- | bers of the Fitzroy and Mic-Mac Tennis Clubs left here for Pictou on Thursday morning last in the good steamer Princess of Wales. The ladies (who were chaperoned by Mrs. Macdonald) were well represented. As the steamer plunged through the ruffled waters of the harbor old Neptune chuckled, | knowing well what was in store for those on board when the steamer reached the more turbulent waters of the Strait. When the steamer was off Point Prim the roll was called and the discovery was made many were ‘‘absent without leave.”

[t was about half-past eleven o'clock when the steamer reached Pictou, and the visit- ors were warmly welcomed by their Pictou friends. After exchanging greetings, all repaired to the Revere House, which was soon crowded, and ina short timec gave place to chaos.

“By this time, however, the whist’e told the visitors that the hour of their departure had arrived, and that they must ‘*all aboard.” After leave-taking, the merry party, who were well pleased with the trip and delighted with the man- ner in which they had been entertained by their Pictou friends, left the hospitable shores of Pictou and arrived home last eV ening.

KNIFE.

VIOLATOR, USES A

The Fredericton, N. B., Gleaner of the 2nd inst., thus describes a bloody affray at Gibson : ‘* Wm. White was at it again in Gibson last mght, and the community is shecked at its lawlessness. Just outside of the grounds where the base ball social was being held in Gibson last evening, White had an altercation with a nam named Webster, when White drew his knife on his antigonist, severely cutting him about the face and arm. Those standing by state that White first dealt Webster a treacher-

ous blow over the head witha club and then knifed him. Webster’s face was drenched with blood when White was

hauled away from him, and he was bleeding profusely from the wounds. Dr. Barker was linmediately sent for, and later on Dr. Coburn was summoned from the city to as- sistin checking the flow of blood. His left eye was encircled with an ugly gash, his cheek was laid open and he had another severe cut on the wrist. Whatled to the fracas does not seem very clear. It is understood that Webster wanted to go in- side the grounds to see a person when White interfered. An effort has been made by the law-abiding residents of Gibson to have White arrested, but as far as learned they have not succeeded yet. A deputa- tion waited on Police Magistrate Marsh, but Ilis Honor advised them to lay their complaint before a magistrate on the op- posite side of the river. The temperance people took out a warrant for White’s arres. the day previous, but could not find an cflicer in the city who would take the papers.” re pe

duelling illegal. He pointed out that France was the only country in Europe which did not forbid the practice, and he spoke warmly of the instance which had just happened, when blood had been shed which ought not to have been spilt save in the service of the country. Public opinion, however, was too strong for the Bishop, aud the demand for urgeney was rejcted on ashow of hands. France has elected to lag in the rear of civilization. A few years avo duels had become such shams that it was hoped they would die of ridicule; but the practice seems to have a fresh lease of life. + %

canie in large numbers to witness the fray. Referring to Mr. Gladstone’s Home Rule scheme, he said it was very ingenious but not workable. It reminded him of nothing so much as of a cottage built by aa old lady, a tenant of his, who afterwards complained: ‘** It would be a grand house if I could just keep the ocean out of it,” After strongly attacking the Opposition, and telling one or two good stories, the Duke took his seat in triumph. Then a strange spectacle was witnessed. No one rose to answer him. Several members looked at each other and gravely smiled. No one spoke, and the Lord Chancellor was compelled to de- clare that the Duke’s motion was carried unanimously. The Duke of Argyle is not by any means popular on either side of the House, and there are very few who did not secretly rejoice at the practical joke that was played upon his grae@ by the leaders of the Opposition. *_*

The Pope has addressed an important letter tothe Roman Catholic Bishops of Ireland. It disposes of all the rumors that have been in circulation as to the inclina- tion of decree against boycotting. and the Plan of Campaign. The letter reproves the oppo- sition raised to the decree, vindicates Mgr.

Persico’s prudence and discretioh, draws afresh the obvious distinction between lawful political ends and immoral means used to attain them, and renews the absolute condemnation of “the entire method of action whose employment we have forbidden.” The

real struggle between the Pope and the National League is now beginning. Hith- erto the League has tried to make out that the Pope bas acted in ignorance, and that the receipt of better information would lead to the mutual withdrawal of the de- cree. The publication of this letter leaves this hope without foundation. There is no longer any room for doubt as to what the Pope intends the clergy to do. If the League is to hold its own he must in future be resisted, not enlightened. *%

I have been asked: ‘‘ Who are the Doctors of the Church?’ It depends on whom my correspondent will accept as an authority. The Latin Church recognizes four great doctors: St. Augustine, St. Jerome, St. Ambrose and St. Gregory the Great. The four great doctors of the Greek Church are St. Athanasius, St. Basil; St. Gregory of Nyssa,and St. John Chrysostom. In addition to these there are several mediceval theologians upon whom additien- al ep ithets—besides that of Doctor—have bestowed.
