The Fairest Garden
■' Catholic ConnaAight,' says the Montreal ' True Witness,' ''Ciontdn'ues the fairest garden of national virtue on the face of the earth. The statistics of Irish population, just published, show that immorality is almost unikniown among the Catholic people of Connaught. The illegitimate births count baiely one-half of one in every thousand of the entire population, Catholic arod Protestant. In Munster the rate is 2.2 per 1000 ; in Leirester 2.6, and in Ulster 3.4. The average rate for Ireland as a whole is the lowest of any nation for which statistics are published.' We may add, on osur accoimt, that (according to the Registrar-General's, statistics) Ulster's high rate is accounted for by the very low state of morality that prevails in the ' yellow ' portions of the province.
