"ROUGH on Corns."— Ask for Wells' "Rough on Corns. Quick relief, complete, permanent cure. Corns, warts, bunioas. A chemists and druggists. i Two little items of news from Germany serve to illustrate the llogical position of the so-called " Old Catholics," for logic must carry them either back to tLe Catholic Church or forward into heresy. On the one hand, the " Old Catholic " parish priest Schonenberger died at Basel, and before his death he had the great consolation of abjuring his errors aad being received back, full of penitence, into the bosom of the Holy Church. On the other side, the " Ola Catholic " minister of Konigsberg, Grunert by name, has gone over altogether to Protestantism. i. w ln »U» U 6SSay P ublishe( ? by the lat e Mr - A. Hay ward, Q.C., on " Whist," the auihor mentions as a characteristic of English people as whist players, their rooted objection to lead trumps. " There are," he says, " hundreds of English families wandering ruined over the Continent because of their reluctance to lead trump 3." The conference between his Grace the Archbishop of Dublin and the committee of the Irish Industrial League, on the subject of Irish industries, was eminently practical and sensible. At the very outset his Grace grappled with the question of price. "It is not a question of creating a feeling in favour of Irish manufacture, "said his Grace; " that feeling exists in the country already. There is a substantial difference between the price of imported goods and goods of Irish make, and what you should turn your attention to is the practical question -how to get that difference out of the way." This was getting at the very kernel of the nut. The conversation thit followed, touching the means by which equality in prices might be reached, was of a highly interesting character, and we are disposed to say that the deputation had not the best of the argument. His Grace was sharp and puu^eut from beginning to end, and put the deputation on their mettle. His Grace did not make the mistake of flattering the men. He pointed out truths to them, and we are satisfied that the result of the course he took will be satisfactory to the best interests of the country. Competition, the venerable maxim teaches us, is the life of tiade ; and if we are to go ahead with Irish industries we really must be prepared to compete. Of course, moral influence can do much, but a real, downright, straifht competitive victory nccomplllhea rery much more.
