ENGLISH VIEW OF PARNELL ould Have na Fair ‘Trial. London Times, Oct. f. From long impzuity many of Mr. Parnell's friends had come to suppose that they might do and say what ther pleased, in the assurance that tue present Government would not venture to question their conduct. The course of the chief agitators has hitherto been very smooth. In was vasy-for patriots, paid and unpaid, to be brave and defiant in friealiy meetings, and with the. buzz. of tlatterers in their ears. AL few of the rank and file mieht pe imprisoned; but ivseemed that the Government would not jure to strike at the head and ceaire of disaffection, and would meeklr submit to their authority contemned. their agents stoned, end their action practically stultifed in every barony, without lifting a finger against the arch agitators. -All these tnonths of disturbance and unrest, the crimesof midnight violence un- punished, the system of intimidation which has been unchecked, and the saw have led to ne prosecutions, nave bred a spirit of ainsolent confidence and contempt for a long-sudering Government. And so the tenders are indignunt and surprised be- cause at the eleventh hour the autbori- ties fulfill xn elementary duty, and a step which most adini rations would e long ayo adopted. The justice and necessity of ue course are so plain that we can- net doubt that they will not be wholly denied even by some of Mr. Parnel sympathize The gume which he is playing Is one In which the stakes are bigh, and in which the loser must not murmur if be forfeits his liberty. He bus persistently sought to weaken and discredit the Governmont, and bis latest endeavor has been to prevent the Irisn farmers from availing them- selves, except on bis terms, of the bencuts of an act which the Legislature of the United King- om bas bestowed npon them. Let bim he richt or wrong in his content{oa, it matters not; the merits of Home-Rute or the defects of the Land act are not now in question, The justification of his arrest is that he soucht to intimidate ten- ants and superse-le or nuilify the action of the Government.

AN ENGLISH APOLOG. The Tale Which the London *Trath? Thinks Kitto Weave About the Prine cess Louise and Lord Lorne, es New York Wortt. Our English cousins are so fond of dwelling upon the personalities and malevolence of American journalism that it is worth while to lny before our readers ap “apolog” which ap- peared in the London ‘Truth of Oct. 13, acd which is now :stirrmy up naturally enouxh a food deal of feeling andof comment both in En- gland and in Canada. Upon the very stonder thread of an old story about a romance of the girthood of the Princess Louise counecting her name with that of the tev, Mr. Duckworth, the tutor of her brother, Prince Leopold, tne Lon- don Truth, it willbe seen, has not scrupled to construct a fabrication to which, co faras we know, no parullel if to be found outside of the “ sensational journalism ” of Paris. Were such aliberty us this taken with the private life of any person not of royal rank the least delicate of rendera even in London would probably re~ sent it 18 an outrage upon “ tho social bond.” ‘Miss Carry Loo was ‘the prettiest anong the daughters Of the widowed lundlady who kept the Crown and Sceptre Hotel, Windsor, but she gave ber good mother much causo- for concern by falling in love with a curate named Duckie. It wae not that the fandindy objected to curates in a ceneral way, She rather liked thom in thelr proper places—pulpits and tea-tables—and she udmitted tat Mr. Duckic bud w- kind, plensnnt voice and dangerously soft eye: Juut Duckie was not rich in this world’s oud Jle hud to see more closely after bis wast. ing bills than was compatidle with the wearing of fine linen, and as to sumptuous fare, wey be looked, said’ the landlady, “as if be would like to go down on ais bended knees and thank fis e@tars if you asked him to step in and eat a slice olf tho Suaday joint.”=-OF course, such invita- tions were no. longer extended tu the reverend vonce Mrs. Loo perceived that ner % 80 happy in bis company, is kept at u distance.

So far frum tnding. any~ body dispused to olfer ber two pins for such a purpose, she Was much harassed by the super- viston of ber mother, brothers, and marcied sis- ters, who would scarcely allow her to walk out of thelr -sigbt. So at length -Carry Leo re~ beled, and’ talked —volsterously ‘about the rights of dumsols tn 2 frea.couatry. She threat ened to retire into the Protestant nunoery of Clewer, and when she hud scattered sullicient dis- may among her relatives by this fret menace, she followed itup by the second, of turning Papit. Mr. Duckie sceined to have loaded her up to the muzzte with militant thavlogy. ‘The good landlady of the Crown and Sceptre felt sorely troubled. Hers was a Protestant estublisbment; nove but orthodox liquors.were sold there. If her daughter turned Papist ber customers would be quite likely to say that the Jesuits’ paid her to poison ber beer; on the other hand, she 50 strongly objected to see her pretty’ daughter; marry a poor curate that retlection ly burdened ber the more aguiist Mr. Duckie. Under these per- Plexing circumstances tho landlady consulted ber mao of business. Mr. Bill, and a long-headed Scotenman named Mr. Mull. who. supplied: ber with her whiskies, Now, Bilt and Mull were cronies, and Mull bad # son called Johnnie, who was uwell-favored young traveler in the Wwbls- ky trade, Mull had heard that Carry Loo bad a few hundred pounds of her own, and would inherit a trille more at her moth- er’s death. Such money would not bave lusted “tong.in the hands of au improvi- dent curate; but it would make a nice little capital for a- pushing young mac of busine-s fixe Jobunie. - Mull betbought bim toat nis gon tight do worse than marry Curry Loo, and be dummunicated bis idea to Mr. 13 ll, who agreed, Mrs. Loo wus then suunded, and declared that the arranzement was the nicest oue imagina- ble. She had often seen Johnnie Mull, and thournt him a comely, reepectable lad. He wus not only asorewd recKoner, but was of a plous turn, and bad vomposed ‘some psalm-tanes to be played on the bugpipes—very suitable tunes fur petformance on tarze mora, where there was nobody within earshot. Of course, Carry Luo guessed: why Jobunie Mull was so cordially received"on bis next visit w the-Crown and Sceptre. Her mother wanted her to marry this acute and good lad, and sbe dishked' bin at first sight. But for all that she did not intend to refuse him, Carry’s voestion for a cloistral life mueh less: Strong than she bad (inarined; celibacy, indeed. when elose- ly examined, was repugnunt to her nature. Carry was also diyptensed ut the pusillanimity of Mr. “Duckie.
