The government hat ordered the suspension from parochial duty of 300 priests n various parts of France, for interfering in the recent elections- M Henri Rochefort has came to this con clusion, since his recent vKit to England, that "of sU the nations on the earth, the English. alane arc fitted for libeily." Prof Doyesen thinks there is no country so democratic as Norway, where, he says, the people have loyalty with independence and obedience with self respect. It is said that another nihilist plot against the czar has been discovered in St Petersburg, and that several of the conspirators were ar -rested in the palace passages. Queen Victoria is three score and ten, ml all the small share ol womanly beauly she ever possessed is swallowed up by a condition of fat amounli g almost to obesity. "THE BLOODY S1IIF.T." A Buffalo paper says Nigara River below he falls, is unusually low, and, what is more singular the waters have been gradually fall ing for the past three or four years. It Is still from 1 50 to 100 feet deep, however, and is not likely to dry up yet a while. - Large deposits of excellent hard coil h,v recenity been discovered in Alaska and on some of the coast Islands. The quantity is believed to be practically inexhaustible, Dr John Hall of the Fifth avenue Presbyter ian church in New York has a salary of $20, oco a year, and also makes a handsome sum by writing for the X Y Ledger. A. short lime since my attention wa) attracted to an inquiry in the Louisville Courier-Journal as to the origin of the popular phrase,"The Bloody Sliiit." The answer given to the query ascribes it to the recent period of reconstruction. Contrary to the prevailing belief, this political weapon was forged and effec'ively used long before any differences had arisen be tween certain portions of our Union, and before, In fact , a union of states existed. The Incident which gave the expression .birth is to some extent legendary, and is related by Sir Walter Scott in the preface to his novel, "Rob Roy," and, briefly, Is.f follows: The clan MacGregor possessed lands and flocks which excited the cupidi ty of tneir less fortunate neighbors,who, by force and other methods, gradually de spoiled them of their property an! drove them from their homes. Ti.e clan, thus impoveiishcd, resisted the encroachments upon their rights, and, in the frequent collisions that occurred, used every tern porary advantage they gained, cruel ly e r,ough. Their conduct, which was per haps not unnatural under the circumstan ces, was studiously represented at the cap ital as arising from an innate and untam able feiocity, for which the only remedy was extermination. These snggestions resulted in the pro scription of the clan by act of the privy council at Sterling, and permission was given certain powerful chieftains to pursue the MacGregjrs with fire and sword, and all persons were prohibited f rc m af :o rding them meat, drink or shelter. As might be expected, civilization progressed very slowly duilnj this period, and the Mac Grsgors, feeling all the severity of the law, and none of its protection, became wilder '. and mi-- 'uv'.jss than ever. As the le gend rr.c V ien of the clan MacGregor, overtaken j. i.'jjht, asked shelter from a dependent e Colquhouns, and, on be ing refused, 1 ,-ired to an outhouse, seized a wedder from the fold, and supped fru gally off thecarcass.for which they offered payment. The laird of Lus, hearing of this enforced hospitality, caused the offenders to be apprehended and sum inarily executed. To avenge this act the MacGregors as tembled to the number of several hun dred, and marched towaid Luss, Sir Humphery Colquhoun received early no tice of the raid, and assembled.an army of superior numbers to mett them. A battle took place in the valley of Glenfruin (Glen of Sorrow) where, encouraged by the prophecy of a seer, and aided by a superior position and skillful generalship, the Mac Gregor) were ictorlous, pursuing1 the enemy furiously, and mercilessly slaugh tering all who were unable to escape. This battle and the f vtry of the proscribed clan were reported to King James VI In a manner most unlovorable to that unfortu nate clan, and, mere strongly to lir.prcsi that Impressionable monarch, the widows of the slain to the numbcrol eleven score, dressed in mourning riding on white pal freys, and each bearing her husband's bloody shirt upon the point of a spear, uppearcd before the king at Sterling and demanded vengeance upon those who had made their homes desolate. Br act of privy council A. D. 1613, the eld acts a gainst the clan were revived, and others of the greater seventy enacted. The bloody shirt had unquestionably accom plished its purpose.
