SIR.-Ae an East End reader of your paper would you permit me to say a few words through your columns about your attitude towards our co-religioniste, the Roman Datholica There are two sides to every question, and these religious discussions through the columns of a paper do not tend to good. The Witness is always ready, I am aware, to open its columns to both sides, but, Mr, Editor, I hardly think that your attitude towards Roman Catholics, or, better to say, their religion, is always compatible with the character of your paper. It seems rather singular -to me, at least, -that you should permit your valuable columns to be used so generally and so often to attack the, religion of the majority of our fellow -citizens and apparently re- gardless of the consequences. For my part, I can only see the harm ,one, as it must naturally ;,and I 1.11E0' WORMS."' At a meeting of the confederated Irish societies of Chicago held in. 011icego last Saturday, Lady Day, apeuchee were wade faverittg Pare sell and denouncing tnglawd, There were about 6000 people and the fol. lowing reruarks by Mr. John Devoy were loudly cheered : Speaking of the preseht crisis in Irish affairs Mr. Devoy said t "Let there be no dictation, either from England or from Jome, from the altar, the pulpit or the pastoral. It is a political question, pure and simple, and must be settled accord- ing to ordinary political methods by the free and untrammeled action of the people., "I yield to no man living in my respect for the bishop' and priests of Ireland as teachers and exemplars of morality and religion. I yield to no man in my belief in the political capacity and patriotism of the ma- jority of the Irish priests, when act- ing as free agents according to the dictates of their own judgement and conscience. But, wbile respecting the bishops, as biehops, I must dra w the line when it comes to politics, and 1 say that the history of Ire- land from the time of the union to our own day proves that they have been, as a- body, unsafe political guides. • "We want to make Ireland a na- tion of freemen, not a theocracy where the' hierarchy shall firet de- cide for theibselves whethera politi- cal question comes within the domain of morals or not and then use their spiritual authority to control the political action of the people and en. force obedience to their commando if that kind of thing is tolerated in. Ireland, what is to prevent its intro- duction in America ? If leaders and members of Parliament are to be selected in that way how long will it be before the same means will bo used in making Presidents and Govenorsand Congressmen? Would we tolerate that kind of thing for one day in the United States, and if we did how long would the outraged American people tolerate us? What is right and proper in America is right and proper,in Ireland. I give the bishop and the priest the same rights and privileges cf citizenship as I concede to every other citizen; but the priest must be a free agent, casting his vote and using his influ- ence according to bis judgment, not acting as part of a machine obeying orders, coerced himself and coercing others by the threat of spiritual pains and penalties." Ii,@oogaAL.'1y embitter the ewi,;tlda .of_.. those who see -that which is above all moat sacred to man -their reli• gion and their intelligence, insult- ed, and on the other side,' Protes- tants gather up" and harbor most extraordinary ideas (I speak from experience) of Romau Catholics and their religion, and the conse- quences are embittered feelings, distrust. and such disgraceful doings as we have had in Toronto and elsewhere. To begin with, it is not charitable and forthat very reason it is not Christian. I may say that I believe the Witness to be candid and sincere ; but, apart from the first, is it policy, ie it just, is it right? The Witness does not publish theatres, bazaars, nor whiskey advertisements for which I commend it, and as it suffers a pecuniary loss in not doing so, we must, therefore, con- clude that it is actuated by consci• entious motives, and deserves public ' •'ion. The Witness is look- "approua.,- as a religious ed upon generally paper, and consequently its etare- ments carry weight ; so, great is the responsibility. OBSERVER. We suppose the above remarks apply to our statement iu an article on the use of images in the Church of England, that the Ronan Catho• lies of this Province had suppres- sed the second commandment of God. At all events, stbhat is the most recent ease in poiut, for this letter was written previous to ©tit remarks on the exhibition of fabu- lous relics. If "Observer" thinks it unchristian to refer to the suppres- sion of one of the commandants or to the sale of threads of an old soutane for purposes of veneration he must allow us to differ from him, If we had no right to have indigna• tion at such misleading of our neighbors, with the interest of whose souls our correspondent seems to think we have no busi- ness, we have a personal interest in in the matter, fr•otn the fact that the ecclesiastical system which thus travesties religion, dominates this land, controls its elections, and fills ite places of power and trust with nnworthy men, who, in return, serve it at our expense. -Editor Witness. • CURRENT TOPICS. A SAMPLE GRIT"PURIST". Mr. John Charlton showed great audacity in again bringing up a motion censuring the Government on its timber policy, after having stood convicted a year ago of swearing to a false affida'.'it in con- nection with the same matter. Mr. Charlton swore that Dr. Hickey, M. P. was with Mr. • Broder for a timber limit in violation of the Independence of Parliament Act, when it was made plain that no such application had been made, or order in council granted. The Minister of Justice gave the mem- ber for North Norfolk a well -merits ed verbal castigation. It turns out that Charlton himself holds a lease of a timber limit from the Crown, and has lately applied to the Gov- ernment to have the conditions of it modified. Was his motion of cene sure only a little scheme to frighten the Government into compliance with his application? The man who swore to a false affidavit against Dr. Hickey, would not hfi above "ch tactics. eve. IN TRAINING.

The small boy listened open mouthed to the gentle tirade and ineffectually' trying to wriggle out of that firm grasp now suddenly found himself elevated, face down, over a large broad knee. .He had just time to gasp : 'I ain't no boy of yours,' when there ensued what is described as one of the grandest and most symmetrical whackiugs ever administered in this or any other age. During the performance the small boy had repeated his original statement three times, and in three different keys, and then he was set upon the floor. The conductor, a man of -delibera- tion, evidently, here thought it hie duty to interfere.

BURDETTE'S LIFE OF MAN - Man, born of woman, is of few days and no teeth. And, indeed, it would be money in his pocket sometimes if he had less of either. As for his days he wasteth one- third of them, and as for his teeth, ha has convulsions when he cuts them, and as the last one comes through, lo, the dentist ie twisting the first one out, and the last end of the man's jaw is worse than t'he first, being full of procelain and a roof -plate built to hold blackberry seeds. Stone bruises line his pathway to manhood, his father boxes his ears at home, the big boys cuff him in the playground, and the teacher whips him in the school room. He riaeth early and sitteth up late that he may fill his barns and store houses and lose his �_childran's `1atfyera divide tyre spoils among themselves. "Ha, ha !" He growl- eth and is sore because it raineth, and he beateth upon his breast and sayeth : "My crop is lost !" because it raineth not. The late rain blighteth his wheat and the frost biteth his peaches. It' it be so that the sun shineth, even among the nineties, he sayeth, "Woe is me, for I perish," and if the northwest wind sigheth down in forty-two below, he crieth, "Would I were dead." If he wear sackcloth and blue jeans men say "Ile is a tramp," and if he goeth forth shaven and clad in purple and fine linen all the people cry, "Shoot the dude." Ho carryeth insurance for twenty- five 'eats until he has paid thrice over for all his goods, and then he letteth his policy lapse one day, and that same night fire destroyeth his store. lIe buildeth him a house in Jersey and his first born is devour- ed by mosquitoes ; he pitcheth his tent in New York, and tramps de- vour his substance. He moveth to Kansas, and a cyclone carryeth his Mese away over into Missouri, while ° nrairie fire and 1O,000,66v acres of grasshoppers fight for bis crop. He settleth himself in Ken- tucky, and is shot the next day by a gentleman, a Colonel and a states- man, "because, sah, he resembles, sah, a man, sah, he did not like, soh." Verily there is no rest for the sole of his feet, and if he had it to do uver again he would not be born at all, for "the day of death is better than the day of one's birth." There were eighteen men and one small boy in the Indiana avenue car as it swung around Lake street on to State yesterday afternoon. As it turned on Madison street the ladies, most of them fatigued by clinr?iug after spring dress bargains in the stores, began to file in, and one by one the men rose and gave up their seats, say' the Chicago Inter Ocean. At Twelfth street there were twenty-six ladies, one large old gentleman and the small boy seated, while a row of able-- bodied citizens developed their muscles by dangling from the ends of the straps. :#rem rilorpi..4 raw People, "41 ptloatx8LP .Inky znpther I would bo hone at Birt veloolt," "$ut what harm will an hour more do?"

Can't you at'y and see the game finish- ed?" "I could stay, but I will not. I made a promise to my 'nether, and I am going to keep it." "Good boy l" said a hoarse voice just back of the two boys. The large old gentleman seemed to he watching the small boy, but the small boy was not watching the large old gentleman. He sat with his hands in his pockets, fidgeting upon his seat, and anon whistling in a penetrating undertone. As each lady got in he favored her with a penetrating stare, which perform- ance caused the large old gentleman to scowl ominously. At Eighteenth street two more ladies entered the car, and reached for straps. The old gentleman in• stantly rose and with a courtly bow surrendered his Beat to the first .f the ladies. Then he looked aro';ty for a seat for tbe other, and suds` denly his eye fell upon the small boy •. still• -seated ° and - eotrttutltd17 whistling softly to himself. A pain - They turned to see an old man poorly clad and very feebl e. "Abraham Lincoln once told a young man," the stranger resumed, "to cut the acquaintance of every person who talked-elightingly of his mother's apron -strings' and it is a very safe thing to do, as I knew from experience. It was just such talk that brought me to ruin and disgrace, for I was ashamed cot to do as other boys did, and when they made fug of mother I laughed too -God forgive me 1 There came a time when it was too late" -and now there were tears in the old eyes -"when I would gladly have been made a prisoner, tied by these same apron -strings, in a dark room with bread and water for my fare. Al- ways keep your engagement with your mother. Never disappoint her if you can possibly help it, and when advised to cut loose from her apron -strings, cut the adviser, and take a tighter clutch of the apron strings. This will bring joy and long life to your mother, the best friend you have in the world, and will insure you a noble future, for it is impossible for a good son to be a bad man." It was an excellent sign that both boys listened attentively. and both said "Thank you" at the conclusion of 'the stranger's lecture, and they left the ball -grounds together, silent and thoughtful. At last the apron - string critic remarked, with a deep - drawn sigh, "That old man has made me goose flesh all over." "Oh, Dick," said his companion, "just think what lovely mothers we have both got!" "Yes; and if anything were to happen to them, and we hadn't done right ! You'll never hear apron -strings out of my mouth again." "What a pity it is that his face is all pimpies ; He'd be very fine looking if 'twann't for that," Said pretty Miss Vere, with a smile at the dimples Reflected from under the nobby spring hat - As she looked at herself in the glass, softly sighing, That she had for the young man a tender regal d, There wsao't the least need of deny- ing- for every one knew it.

NOTHING LIKE PUTTY, Long ago the Highland crofters' ploughs were all of wood except the coulter and stocks. A crofter had ordered a new plough from the Wright, and called to see if it was ready. The impleameut was finished except that it wanted paint. The crofter, in his inspection of the plough discovered that a consider- ably flaw in the wood had been art- fully filled up with putty, and he drew the maker's attention to it in a displeased tone. 'Toots, man," said the wright, 'it'll be a' the stronger o' the putty.' Div ye tell me that?' quoth the peasant, 'To be sure,' was the answer, 'there's naething like putty to stand wear ance it dries.' `Then, gude sake, man I' exclaimed the other, 'why did'na ye' it a' putty? 4 M.ttN TQ SFl MAylbl4, • There is a charming young widow iu the neighboring town wbo re• taina a five-year-old old girl Se the only'y pledge of her dear departed, says the paper of that town. The little one had just begun to learn her alphabet. A genttemau called upon the widow the other evening. Of course the fond mother wanted to show off her ohild. Taking up a newspaper and pointing to the big letters in an advertisement the mo- ther said. "What letter is that?" "A," responded the child. "What comes after A?" "B." "Anti what comes next?" "C," lisped the little one. The inquiry was pursued BULB further, but along toward the end of the alphabet the littleegirl lost her bearings and never answer- ed a question. Finally the gentle- man thought he would put a few questions. He began with one ; "What comes after T?" The child looked him straight in the eyes as she answered : ' A man to see mamma." The lesson in English literature was not prolonged. PROHIBITION. An interesting and instructive tableau was witnessed the other at Brunswick, Me., in the very heart of the "strico" rohibitien Bec- ton of the State. The fast express train struck a hayrack containing two men, demolishing the vehicle and somewhat injuring its occupants. The train was stopped, and the pass- engers, pouring out, surrounded the unfortunate farmers, who were un- conscious, Some one asked if there was any liquor in the crowd. A drummer passed out a neat little flask of Bourbon, another drummer followed his example, end soon there were hands stretched forth from all directions with pints and hal4t•pints, round bottles, flat bottles, and square bottles, of all dimensions, from a gill to a quart, and contain.- ing everything from imported brandy to Portland rum. There was enough there to start a Lewis- ton drug store, and the only man in the crowd who didn't have.a bottle ran off to a farm house and soon re- turned' with a two- gallon jug of some mysterious liquor. WHISTLE AND I'LL COME TO YE MY LAD. The Toronto Police Court was crowded the other day to hear the case, of City Engineer Jennings, who was charged by C. J. Smith, the ex coal and wood merchant, with having used,insulting language. Mr. Osler appeared for Mr. Jenn- inge, and contended that as only grossly insulting language was pro,. hibited on the street the charge should be dismissed. To call a man a —fool' was insulting, but could not be characterised as'grossly , insulting,' he thought. The Magis- trate considered the expression out of place unless the parties were well acquainted with one another. He had fined a man for calling anoth- er a ---thing,' Mr. Smith was the first witness. He said he saw Mr. Jennings going along King street on Monday, and wbistledafter him. Jennings turned down Lea, der lane, and witness came up with him near Colborne street,. when he touched him on the shoulder. Jen- nings said. 'Do you thing I am a dog, you—fool, to answer to your whistle? I'll hit you.' Although invited by the witness to 'wade in' he did not so. Messrs. E. McKay and George Duncan heard Mr. Jen- nings use the expression complain- ed of,tbet the latter e pja reed .that he had told Mr. Smith that 'if he thought he was Going to answer to a whistle, he was a ---fool,' The case was dismissed, each party pays ing his own coats.

Whereon the parson it once retort- ed, "It is a greater pity that red ants, which are so insignificant, should yet be so offensive." Another collision of this kind be - tweet) church and state, in which the church again had the best of it, is said to have occurred at an Englis public dinner, where a would- be witty officer asked a well known colonial bishop, who sat next to him, whether he could tell the difference between a bishop and a donkey, and then proceeded to ex- plain that the•one wears the cross en his head, and the other wears it on bis back, "Very good, Major B-," said the .bishop. "But now, can you tell the difference between an army officer and a donkey ?".

Hamburg, Conn., 42g, 24 - Several years ago a man named Kil.- deer Huff carie to this place from no one knows where, and made his place of abode a rude hut on Potato. hill. He was eccentric and led a solitary life. Ile pretended to be deaf and dumb, but boys who tan- talized him say that he could swear ' very fluently. He was apparently humpbacked, and on account of hie deformity be was an object of pity to the townspeople. Last Friday he was found dead by the roadside near his hut. The villagers were surprised by the dis- covery that the dead man was a humpback no more. The deform- ity proved to be a padded sack, in- side of which was found a dozen pint bottles containing rum, whiskey and cordial, and in bis pocket waa fonnd$197,mostly dimes and nickles'. The humpback bad been a walking barroom. The town is a no -license place, and the prohibitionists have flattered themselves that here at least no drinking was done. It it; remembered now that Huff used to prowl around late at night, and it is, alleged that he visited the houses of - those who love an occasional nip,. and either sold them a pint bottle - or else a drink, for which he charg.. ed but 5 cents, • A WOMAN'S WAYS. In Cotuit, many years ago, a local legend runs, capt. Barnabas Z-•- and his wife Abigail, who were both queer after their way, lived at peace for a good many years in spite of the fact that Abigail was said to be the "contrariest woutan in Cape Cod." Whatever was said or proposed, she was almost sure to go againat it. But 'Capt. Barnabas was as patient as his wife was cons trary, and by dint of always allow- ing for his wife's disposition and usually proposing the exact opposite of what be wished her to do, he got along very comfoftably for many years. But et last, on one evil day, when Mrs. Abigail Z-- was down at the harbor visiting a res lative on board a schooner then in port, she fell overboard and -sank in the water. Capt.
