CATHOLIC DONATIONS TO THE POPE.
Among the curiosities of religious Impulses Is the
extraordinary liberality of the people of Ireland in
making up purses for the Pope. A country which ?
so olten has the begging box sent round In Us be
half, and which has hundreds ot thousands of
people poorer than the poorest of contlucutal
Europe, yet scraped together, penny by
penny, a largo sura ? between $100,000
aud $126,000?to lay at the ieet of His Holiness. By
fur the greater part of this came in very small sub
scriptions, although one county Wlcklow larmer is
stated to have subscribed $*>,000. He may Impover
ish himself, but It will be the talk 01' the neigh
borhood for a century to come, mid that Is a great
thing for a county Wleklow farmer. Cardinal Cul

THE STOCK MARKET.
At the Stock Exchange ttier'e was a very general
rise tliis week ol a steady character, and it was
not coniined to British securities. The reasons are
various, and in some quarters it seems to be a mat
ter or surprise that stocks should not go down in
stead of up befcause of the unsatisfactory situation
in France, the tension of her relations with Ger
many arid Italy and the utter uncertainty regard
ing events which may grow out of the Itnsso
'i'urkish war. But a strong party iu Francs
ure supporting the Bourse for political reasons
and are assisted by speculators lor a rise. The
ultimate success of itussia is regarded as certain
and supports Russian bonds, and the reduction of
the discount rate of the Bank of France is direct
ing money to investment in government stocks.
An occasional relapse occurs in Paris when Prince
Bismarck does anything, and on Tuesday there was
a very sudden but temporary lad when it was
known that the Chancellor had come out of his re
tirement in order to confer with the Emperor.
Investments in the Loudon market have been
ma.'.e with some freedom this week, which
may be the result of subsidence ol the
deiuuud lor money usual at the beginning of May
in addition to the rise resulting from bear purchases
and various market manipulations. There is a very
general improvement in Investment stocks. Ameri
can governments, under the influence of the general
inquiry for investment stocks, have risen a little.
The advancing tendency in railway oonds has been
checked. The demand for short loans has been
good at about 2\? percent. Discounts have been
quiet.
Business on the Stock Exchange to-day was firm
in all departments, but there was very lit tie doing.

State Senator John U. Cochrane, an Independent in

recommended, and It ts said was tupporteo by Senator
Patterson until bo announced Ins intention, In the

but native democrats to QU all the subordinate offices
in bis district. This resolve on tlio part of Mr.
Coobrune, however fatal to his prospects, was wisely

Gknti.emkn? Your invitiitivu to mi; to visit <Julve*toxi was

conferred. 1 have delayed toy reply until 1 could know the
purpo-e* of the President In cunuectiou with the c<?lhiig of
the extra session of the f orth' tilth Congress. II ho uuil
adhered to his purpose mid called it lor the 4rh of June
then it was my wish to visit your city during the tuunth ot
October. Political con niUerat ions uud necessities have in*
tiuccd liiin to chen/a his or giiiHl intention and delay Mitch

stance* 1 caunot now name a prohuble time wlien 1 can he
in your city, i had promised m.> *?11 the pleasure and tho
instruction of seeing your citizens and to learn directly
Imm them the needs ot your section.
i ho tiuie has come, in my opinion, when the policy of the
government should bo to enlarge our trade relations with
Mexico and with tho ( entrul and .South Ameilean states.
It is wed tor us t? study the statistics ot the trade b tweon
these countries and the markets oi tlie world, irom which
we linn thai the people of the United Mate* are not receJv
lug a duo share of the commerce of the countries I have
named. i\ c need more favorable coramerci.il relations and
more comprehensive trade connections with other nations,
lait me cite a tow figures to prove the truthfulness ot my
assertion. '1 he public documents show tlie loreigu com
merce ol the countries lying south o: tho United St ties on
the American continent to be about &">2<MJtJ0?U(ifi. Our
share ot this airio tin is about JH 12,<MJH,<Kift, of which only
about $i?,OUO?UUti is transported In American vessels and
under the Ainoiie.ip (la/. Mich a statement should
ut once aron-e our pcoplo from their lethargy.
The war stimulated tire manufacturing facilities
of the North enormously, and ouly by the adoption
of such a policy tan wo keep up the activity o our
manufacturing districts and secure a market lor our pro
ductions. It is it discredit to our enltghtentuui<t?lliar we,
as a people, stand ?iuiet-y i?y and do not m.tko suilicicnt
endeavor to increase our m *ugre hltare of this Important
trade. When the extended policy to which 1 have referred
is inaugurated, as it must and will be. then will your city,
your Mate and the entire coast ol the Gulf receive the ad*
vaiitxues wliich nature .has bespoken for them.
1 do not decline your hospitality, out must defer naming
a tiino lor tuy visit until aftor Congress has organised and
udjo .rn. d- J am none the less, however, onliged lor yo r
proffered civilities. Permit me, in conclusion, to thank
