Apostles are of the salt of the earth. Their inheritance is the world, by virtue of then commission to go teach all nations; and words fail to express how dear they are to their Master.

He established 565 churches, and ordained 3000 priests; and when he went to his reward and received his crown, he left a complete Catholic hierarchy in Ireland.

Governor Sir John Glover, in his speech to Parliament, deeply grieved over the con- tinuance of the disturbed feelings arising out of the deplorable event at Harber | Grace, on St. Stephen's Day, 1883, and) urged that every eflurt be made to soothe and allay the angry passions prevailing.

The Government is a cvalition of Catholics and Protestants, and was supported by every Catholic in the House. Mr. Penny, an Orange member from Carbonear, moved an amendment to the address, deneuncing “the unjustifiable outrage at Harbor Grace, declaring that the present deplor- able state of feeling was the result of the disgraceful failure of justice at the recent trial of the Riverhead prisoners, and that harmony and good feeling could not be re- stored until justice had been satistied.” This wes opposed by the Catholics in a body and members of the Government Sir Wm. Whiteway moved an amendment to the amendment, very much to the same effect, but more moderate in tone. This! was carried by asmail majority, but was | equally offensive to the Catholics, and as a | result Hon. J. W. Donnelly, Minister of Customs, and R. J. Kent, Speaker cf the House, both Catholics, resigned their positions. The Catholic party is led by Sir Ambrose Shea, who is prevented by the political crisis from proceeding to Washing- ton to negotiate for reciprocity. This will be the end of Whiteway’s Gov- | ernment, and the new, administration will | be rau on Protestant lines. -- > +<>- te A Fortune in England. The wife of Deacon Sidney 8.
