Saturday's Cleveland despatch says:
The ,Right -Rev. Bishop Gilmour, ef the
Roman Catholic Church;of this city, to -day
issued the. following Bill of Excommunica-
tion against the Ladies' Order of the Irish
Land League : ,
In answer to my grave .and • severe
criticism of last week on tad forestation
of a ladies' branch of the _Tamen Land
League ' of Cleveland, , the ,Presideneees:
thereof last Sunday afternoon :informs her
audience and the public that they must
" away with such 'dictation," as. their •
Bishop gave them when be told thene " the.
noisy political arena was no place for,
women." In the same hall, and by one of the
men who are pushing , forward 'these 'silly
women, it was said at the same. meeting,'
"11 they were to, be ruled by -.Scotch or
Italian or English ,priests .we badbetter
shut down on the whole lot." . Another
addressed his Wallop as Gilmour," and.
the tone of all the addresses is 50 flagrantly
• disrespectful of bishop and priest that it.
becomes necessary to speekin terms, that
will leave no naieunderstanding. So long .
as this Parnell branch of the •Land .League
_confined,itselfeteesthet-eirePle_ diseussiou. of
the Irish question I passedthem in com-
parative silence, as I am strongly in sym-
pathy with the cause of Ireland, , and have
ever spoken in:clear-berme upon the ques-
tion both in Cleveland and elsewhere when
time and place presented . an opportunity.
No man has ever spoken stronger words
than.I on the.wronge.of Ireland, as seee in
my. late lecture on. the .," Land
League.' 6"1 resented, . and, to.daYre=
sent, the imputation': and . the charge,
soindustriously made by the men.
of this Parnell branch of the Land L'eague,
•
that because I refused to advocate the "no
rent " policy so lately in vogue that there-
fore I am the enemy. of Ireland. • I reject
such charge as simply 'untrue. So -Jong as
this LandLeague Society had confined
itself to a male membership they and I
would hese probably had but ar difference of
opinion 0.13 to the means to help • the cause
of,Ireland... They had their views, '1 ' had
• Mine, and we were free to differ, and, as
. men, act it out LIB Men. But when they.
. bring women into the political .atenit, and
to uneex the .women . of my
flock and make them brawling Politielans;
and under the plea of patriotism attempt to
destroy female modesty; and se bring shame
on every Catholic woman of Cleveland, then
A is time to speak, and to speak in words
that will end dispute.. When the question
• is squarely raised' onohoosing between.
'female modesty and pretended patriotism,
then I. place' myself on the side of female
• modesty; and when it -comes to defending
. the female modesty of My 'flock as against
the brazen unwomanlieese of . female poli-'-
tiSians, I accept the gage, and will. see
that no Catholic woman within my diocese
shall turn herself intrea brawling politician.
. If there are women of this kind, andif there'
are women in Cleveland . who . will turn
• themselves into brawling politicians, then
they shall not .be Catholic women ; and if
heretofore they have so calledthemselves,
then the public shall ., know they are so no .
longer. No woman' within the diocese of
Cleveland shall at - the . same ' time be a
Catholic and a brawling .politician. . The
Catholic women Must live' . within •the
naodesty of • -the home. .Shesmust

"To quintB, Bishop of Cleve-
.,
your official of
terrible
threats, I stand forth in the name of the
-women of -the Parnell prench of the and
League, and say we, will not deviate or
falter in the righteous cause we have un-
dertaken. This is no trifling affair, no
light ease. We have chosen it as a
Work, as a duty, and there can be no
grander or 'Miler one than the -redemption
of our native land. No petty malice can
turn us back. Our faith, though beset with
obstacles, lies Eilead of our standard-bearere,
with the motto, Truth and Right.' We
etand beneath its foldsand tell our foes
there is no surrender.' The workef years,
the opposition so seriously and s0. persist-
ently carried on against the Irish societies
of thie eity, has at last Culminated in "your
ungallant, unmanly and bitter attack heeled
on the heads of the wOMen of the "Land
League. We resent such interference. We
understand the motives which ecteate you
in this bet move. Finding our ranks
unbroken, that we remained firm after your
first censure, you then bring the whole force
.of the Church, and with fierce and futioue
denunciation seek to crush 14fi. I have yet
te learn how one biehop, without authority
from the fountain head of the Church,
can exconahaunicate any individual from
the Churcheor any 'society engaged in the
work of freeing their native land. There
is no law, no rule laid down within the
ChUrch-there is nothing can be brought to
hear upon us in asserting our rights, in
standing forth in our country'e defence:
Has not God said, "The earth he hath
given to the children of men ?" . The stigm-a
of irernodestY, indelicacy and political
brawling you try to cast upon Us, I fling
back. Our conduct and our pure, high
motives would be worthy of, imitation by
any lady outside the Parnell Ladies' Land
League, The women of Ireland have
ever stood forth the brightest oma -
merits of female. virtue ; the firmest
in their faith and in .their devotion to that
Church that has from time immemorial
been persecuted and when changes asseile&
in the darkest hour of Ireland's history.
Then away with all aspersions and insinu-
ations launched with cruel malice against
the noble character of the women of the
Parnell ',Land League. We stand in no
danger. Our conscience tells us we are
right. Our aetions attest it, and all and
any malice brought to bear upon ourselves
or, our organization shall not be submitted
to. (Signed), '
Melte Remains."
Bureau>, N. Y., June 5.-,A very large
and enthusiastic meeting of the . Land
League was held here yesterday. The
following was adopted: "Resolved, That
this branch approves and endorses the
action of the Land League ladies oi Cleve-
land, and extends to :them its hearty
sympathy and support"
The Curculio and Plum Trees.
A well known fruit raiser writes: Many
of your treaders, may not be aware that
there is a simple but effeetive remedy for
the, ravages of that destructive little insects
the Marcell°, amongst per most valuable
plum trees, and as they, are now busy -at
work no time should he lost in applying it.
Make a sheet of about four yards square of
some cheap cotton, open half way up the
Middle, lay this spread out on the ground
round the trunk of the trees, jarring them
with a heavy piece of wood covered with
something soft so that it will not injure the
bark. Repeat, this early every morning
and every evening so long as any curculios
drop. If done regularly a good crop of
plums may be depended on. It is singular
that only the finest varieties are attacked -
at least such is my experience. This is the
most effective' remedy I know, of. The
common blue and yellow plums are never
attacked that I know of. The cumuli° is a
small beetle of repulsive appearanee. It is
furnished with nippers, with which it stings
the fruit, leaving a crescent shaped mark.

been expeoted.

THE French vital statistics for 1880
which have just been published, are robbed
of much of their value by the feet, that a
census was takenlast winter. ,Tboy have,
however, ft melancholy interest as con-
tinuing to , illustrate the diminution of
French vitality. The lairths.were 920,177,
of which 68,227were legitimate, the'
figure
showing a steady decrease -in fact the only
year in recent times which made a worse
showing being that after the war with,
Germany. The legitimate births are in-
creasing as steadily. The deaths were
857,337, a large increase, while the census.
shows that the urban population, among
which the death -rate is higher than in the
country ,distriets, is growing larger. The
marriagee -Whre 279,035, which, as recent
years go, is not '-so bad a ehowing, though
sadly below the 300,000 of a few years ago.
On the whole the statistics, taken with the
fact that about 27 per cent. of the recruits -
for the army are rejected annually for
physical reasone, do not afford much hope
to the well-wishers of the French people.
In fares the land to hastening ins a prey,
Whore wealth accumulates and men decay.
Mr. Sturdy, a gentlemen who acts up to
hie name, took 150 shares in 1880 in an
Enlish assurance camapa,ny claiming to
have over 050,000 marbles assets. In June,
1881, the company's report pointed out
that this statement was wrong, and in fact
there was a deficiency. Mr. Sturdy then
asked for his money bunk, and was refused.
He then went to law, anel the Vice-Chan-
t:miler refused his:applicetion on the ground
that there had been no intentional decep-
tion. But the Court of Appeals has decided
in his favor.
Look here," said an indignant tenant
to hie landlord, "there is a cat in the
cistern of that house you rented to me."
" Is it deed?" "Yes.' " Then it will not
distiarb you any at night; HO I will have to
raise 'our rent 5 on that account."

steameidees Passengers,The steseteer Springer went up the river
at Cincinnati on Saturday with 260 excur-
sionists. On returning near Newport
Railway bridge a strong wind was blowing
and the steamer had to lower her chimneys
to pass the bridge. There was a delay in
lowering the chimneys on account of the
imperfeot working of the machinery, and
the wind struck the boat. The captain
saw the 'boat would strike ethe chisel edge
of the bridge pier naidships too late to
back against the - strong current and
powerful gale. He erdered all steam
ane dashed ahead. The starboard
aide of the steamer struck the pier, and all
the passengers were thrown down. The
steamer grazed the pier erushieg the
woodevork and Wheel, and the boat floated
helplessly down stream and truck several
coal barges • naoored below, wrecking Ono.
The passengers scrambled off on ' the deal
fleet without injuries except torn clothing
and slight bruises. Two Seconds' hesitation
on the part of the captain would have been
equivalent to cutting the boat in two and
losing the lives of nearly nal on board. -
The schooner Industry, from St. Joseph,
capsized north of Smith .Haven (Mich.)
harbor last evening.. All on board were
drowned. The wreck was mear the shore
and witnessed by hundreds, but owing to
the terrible sea it was impossible to render
assistance. When first seen the sailors
were clinging to ethe rigging, but were
washed away one by one. Captain 'Kfiag
was the last to go down. Ire was at one
time BO, near shore that he could be recog-
nized. Gallant efforts were made by the
sailors ashore to rescue the perishing crew,
but the wreck was carried so rapidly by
the gale that nothing could reach her. The

.day, e feet 6 inches lower ehao the flood of
1861; 8 feet 9 inches lower than the flood
of 1852; and 10 feet 9 inches lower than
the flood of 1826. In this connection we
might mention -the following, extracts frone
an old diary,Whieh were made serne time
ago by Mr. A. McArthur: In 1826the
flood began early in May. May 14th water
came into the upper church (St. John's)..
The people reneoved to Snake Ieclien
(Stony Mountain), , where they remained
-until June 12th. Only three houses were
left standing in the settlement. 1852, the
ice broke on . the 28th April. The winter
had been fine until the end of February,
and there had been ranch snow- during
Marcia. May 2nd water rising; people
alarmed; snow and sleet. May -9th, weter
at the corner, of the churehyard,,St debn'e:
May 12th, house still dry; water entering

Highest point reached. /40 inches in- the
Bisbop's house. May 21.st, water receding.
May 26t1, water down to 20 inches in the
Bishop's house. June lst, flood abated in
the upper church; weather very hot. The
church was olcised altogether five weeks.

Bankrupt School Boards.
A.1,9ntrettl iB in the midst of it peculiar
educational crisie. The school boards,
_both Protestant and Catholic,' have been
badly, bitten of late with the elaborate
building mania, have spent all their fends
on architectural adernments, and they now
find themselves in a bankrupt condition.
' The result is that the teachers have
received notice that their servicesewill not
be required after this month, and that the

SOME .of the revised Ifigures, and opin
ions concerning the sun, as the result of the
most recent ObeerVntiODS,Iaided by improved
methods and appliances, are of peculiar
interest. Thus, the femme calehlations__
which placed the sun a.t95,000,000.miles
from the earth, and ' which remained
unquestioned for so many years, are now
changed, on the highest authority,' se as tos
present a mean distance of 93,100,000 miles.
Not less interesting are those investigatioes ,
which ,dead with the solar temperature,
respecting which the most diverse opinions
have existed until lately among ,men of
science, these opinions differing; in fact;
all the way from mullions to the compliee-
tively low-temperature of 3,632 degrees

About three weeks ago we moved camp
from the "Second Canon of the Yellowstone
to the rmouth of 'the Gardiner River -two
miles below the Third Canon, four Miles
from the Mammoth Hot Springs, and just
within the northern boundary of the Na-
tional Park. On the way up we passed
along the base of Cimiebar Mountain;
which is adorned with a stripe of brilliant
red scoria, about one hundred feet wide
and running up the side of the mountain
about fifteen hundred feet. This ribbon is
fenced in by two curious walls of remk,.
about tweuty,five feet thick and two
hundred feet high, runeing;ertrallel to its
entire length. The scoria resembles in
color the ore of mercury -hence the name
o1. the mountain. A few miles west of the
trail Electric Peak pierces the clouds to a
height variously stated at from 11,125 tb.
