by Earl. Ruesol, the p c of Percy, K liete t

that the French army ha, becomes soncebf
danger to Germany, because its maigotude d
showed a determination on 'the part of]F~noce
to renew the war; that Germany nseslfdefence c
might feel impelled to strike the lrat blow to t
secare peace; and that 'l was necesary that the t
French army sboold.'eb considerably reduced.
This language repeated by German represents- 1
tives hsbeand elsewhere create d;,extreme no- y
easiness in Francs. The French Government
immediately disclaimed all warlikejntentions. a
Lord Derby said he accepted this declaration y
as entirely sincere. He believed no statesman q
in France contemplated a renewal of war
France, after her humiliattob, naturally deo. a
aired to have an army which would give her i
the influence to which she considered herself t
entitled. OnCof the difficulties was that the
French were unable to conceive that the Ger- ti
man apprehensions were genuine, they regard- p
ed the representations made by Geanmany as h
pretext for a fresh war. It seemed to her Ma- ti
jesty's Government that there was a mutual ti
misunderstanding which might lead to gravd b
consequences, for Germany's next step might b
hsoave been a formal request for France to ais- ci
continueher armament, whilleFrance on the
other hand would, probably, accelerate it, and
thereby confirm the suspicions of Germany.
The existence of this mutual distrust afforded tt
a good opportunity to offer the friendly offices ic
of England. The Russian Government saw ft
things in the same light and the Emperor
Alexander visited Berlin.--The Bprlin Oieiel cI

The Jubilee.
As the Holy Father, in declaring the condi
I tions of the Jebilee, has named four charches
t to be visited in the city of Rome, and directed
that the same most be done in other cities, a
f question has been raised as to what is to be
done in places where there Is only onse churh.
s This question is answered by the following de
cree of the Congregation of Indulgences, a
3 translation of which we have been requested
e to publish. The decree may be found in Prio
sivalli's Collection, p. 5629, No. 622, Rome, 1862.
The substance of it may be found in Gory,
R.stisbon Edit., 1874:
t "In the Sacred Congregation of Indulgences
I. and Sacred Relics, assenibled in the Vatican
Palace, on the 16Oh day of February, 1852, two
questions were proposed for solution :
" let. In a Jubilee, ordinaryor extraordinary,
are all the roles laid down by our Holy Father
r Benedict XIV., which are not contradicted by
f the Bull of the Jubilee, to be observed f
" 2J. In the Bull of the Jubilee, the visita
tion of several churches of the same city or
place is usually prescribed. But in many places
there is one chuch only. Can the Bishop in
this ase substitute some other pious work for
the visitation of the other churches; or may
he appoint some chapel, altar, cross, or other
holy place to be visited instead of these
churches 1
" Their Eminences the Fathers of the Con
Sgregation, in general assembly sitting as above,
having maturely weighed the matter, agreed I
to respond.in the affirmative to the first quest- t
f ion. But as to the second, they determined as
follows :
"The Holy Father is to be petitioned to r
I concede by General Decree to the ordinaries
the faculty of visiting one church as many
times as there are charohes to be visited II
for gaining the Jubilee. Concerning all
which reference to our Holy Lord, Pius
IX., was made by me,'tbh undealsgned Car- o
dinal Prefect of the Sacred Congregation, C
in an audience had on the 15hb day of March,
1852, and his Holiness, in his Apostolic benig

gregation, and bnigoly conceded to ordinaries

should be made known to all through the pub- b

Extract from a letter dated "Dublin, Whit- it
monday, May 17tli, 1875": 31
Arrived here yesterday morning from Litbr
pool. Our twenty-day trip across the obean tv
was good enough except a few stormy days, T
and some heavy fog while approaching and ci
passing Cbpe Clear. This fog was so thick w
that we were in great danger day and night; hI
and although our captain kept his steam
whistle blowing overy sixty seconds, we came le
near running into a sailing ship on Thurs4ay
last. Only a half minute more and we were
into her ! for I believe our mast was frightened th
and unable to give thecommsdd how to handle a
our ship. He was standing, mute, upon the vi
bridge, when the captain came rushing out of hi
the chart room shouting "Starboard! Star- he
board I"
The other pool ship was, of course, helpless;
for in snch a fog there was no wind. I was at
the time on the quarter-deck, looking at the sat

o Tics PERSiCUTION IN BtAZLu -We Satlense
i the following fromi several longlette~ rom
I- eorrespotidenv of the Parleastrers A p tioA
t signed by, 1294 ladies (whose names are pub
if liphed at length in the Blrasilian Catholic Joer
usiHals, many of them being of high ranV) has
b een aedddessed to theiBmpress. begging Of her
. to usne her powerfal.iauenoe to obtain the re
d lease of the imprisoned prelates. In additiod
i- to thos, who saiged the petition, many other
ladies joined in the movement when it was
presented to the Empress. The Government
appears, nevertheless, to be very far from
abandoning the disastrous course on which it
has entered. The Parliament has bbeena on
vaoked in speieal session, under pretest of deal
inog with the law of municipal elections, but
in reality (as there is too much reason for fear.
ing) to pass t law for the exile of the bishops
faithful to their duty. The speech. from the
throne gives occasion for that fear, as the Em
peror did not hesitate to ascribe the troubles
in the northern provinces to "religions fanati
cism." The phrase was eagerly caught hp by
the Liberals. and has been used since usqge ad
naaueam. It is absolately false, the troubles
having really been caused by the Freemasons,
of whom the President of the Cabinet is the
Grand Master. A brave Catholic deputy,
M. Ignace Mairtin, at the sitting of the 20th
ultlmo, in the" Cbamber, called upon the
Government to produce all the papers con
nected with the imprisonment of the ad
ininistrators of the dioceses ef Para and of
Pernambuco, and with the banishment of the
Jesuit Fathers; but the Ministry, who have
good reason to fear any light thrown on their
conduct, refused even to reply to him. The
Administrator of the diocese of Olindar has
been condeogned to imprisonment for four
years, with bard labor, because be has refused 4
to do that which he could not do-remove the
censures which his Bishop had imposed upon
wicked persons. The latter prelate is, as our
seaders are aware, already undergoing a pre- I
cisely similar sentence, which was inflicted in
March last year. It is pleasant to learn that
the Catholics are united, and that some of
those who had yielded to the temptation of
being Freemasons have abandoned that hor
rlble seoiety.-.. Y. Tablet.
POSTAL ESPIONAGE IN Paussia.-We a
learn from the Pall NMall Gazette that at the
sitting of the.Prussian Chamber on the 5th t
nit the deputy Von Schorlemer Ast, of the
Centre (Catholic) party, made the follow
ing very instructive remarks :
I am compelled to mention a case of vio- t
lation of a letter whiclsI sent eoff with the
stamp and seal of the chamber. My friends
have repeatedly complained that letters s
reached them haviJltevidently been opened, A
and not when they were due. Two years a
ago a friend told me that he bad listened to .,
the conversation of two postoflce ofi- ti
clale, saying that they were ordered to de- y
taln letters of mine which could be recog- h
eaLed as such at the postoMcd id Meoster.
I then laughed at this because I believed H
it impossible. Now, Psent again, on the a
30th of April, a letter with the stamp and
seal of the chamber, and registered besides, ft
to a place three miles beyond Manster.
The letter arrived there cut open and a
closed again with a strip of paper oen which T
were written the words :--" Mistaken at
Munster for a post-office communication, t!
and opened. Bastile." To believe that a
letter which is registered, and therefore of
specially safe, and which bears 4he seal of S,
the Chamber of Deputiee, can be tenen for tt
a post-office edotmuYtion, requires a m
very strong faith. I do not believe it. J
have wishe4 to mention this case to the
house, rsriag to myself further steps.

A mercer in the Faubourg St. Germain has
recovered 4,000f. damages from the Paris Unives
the leading Cathblic organ, for hbaing advised
Christian women not to patronise his shop.
The reason for this advice was that it was babi
tually opened on Sunday, bat one Sunday it
was closed, a notice being affixed that it was
on account of repairs. The Unfirers remarks
thereon : "We are condemned. The result
does not surprise us. HIenceforth, according to
this judgment, anybody may defy the Sabbath
laws by keeping his shop open on Sunday, and
if any indignant passer-by draws attention to
the scandal, he will have to pay damages to
the delinquent. However, for thehonorof the
cause, we shall appeal to other judges." M.
Vsn illot then notices, as one of the strange
freaks of "what is called justice," that recently
the Figaro was fined only 500f. for having
falsely accused a doctor of poisoning his
patients.

by Jessie's unwillingly placing herself at the

but did not attempt to oige her dealsion
The letter was at last ee and enat, and
Jessi*e ould only wonder at Margaret's high
spirita fpr the rest of the day. 8he had never

played mar finely than op that evening, when
Mrs. Edgageave a little party. She was so
kil, to ,he young man, that they all were
charmed with bet apd with themaslves, and
quite expanded nader the warmth of her
bright smiles.
Jessie. on the contrary, was preooojopid and
distressed. h.e felt rnoomfortable at what
she bhad done, at the thought of the seeret she
was keeping from her mother, and troubled
when she remembered the approaobingeepara

nat like that pleaaant Mr. Lothrop, wje was
so bhandsome, o rich, and who would s·gladly
have availed himself of the smallest encour
agement to make her an offer I Hew kindly she
smiled on him to-night! Why couldn't obe be
satisflod with pleasing him I And then what
was the bchance that this fastidious girl would
take a fancy to Dr. James, whom, though she
had never seen, she bdheved to be plain and
unattractive t What could come of it, except
trouble for the poor man t Of course he would
fall in love with Margaret, while she would
think of nothing but amnsing herself. "And I
shall hbave been the instrument of bringing dis
appointmeat and unhapplness to Philip's
cousin and darest friend."
All these thoughts kept Jessie in a very un
enviable steate of mind during the evaslag, and
she was thankful when bhe eelid essepe o her
own room, and write a long letter, beolbre
going to bed, to her absent lover; of course
