OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES IN THE SoUTH.-
The Presbyterian, referring to the vain at
tempts of the above mentioned sect to es-
tablish itself in the South, states that there
are only three churches" of the kind in
existence, and they are exotics and alien to
the feelings, sentiments, and institutions of
the South. The Newbern, IN. CD church
has only +" four resident MEMBERS and is
dependent on the "Home Missionary So
ciety."
The Memphis concern, once self-sustain-
ing, is a failure, and is in a worse category
and the New Orleans conventicle Is in little
better condition, but is also dependent upon
the Home Missionary Society,"" In fact,
merely political churches, whose clergy de-
scend into the arena of politics, and preacl,
Sharpe's rifles and the Freedmen's Bureau
morality instead of the Gospel of Christ, do
not succeed in this benighted region.

Father Hyacinthe At Rome.

The Rev. Father Hyacinthe commenced
his course of sermons at the French Church
of St. Louis, Rome, n-the first OF March.
Vast crowds, composed of persons from
every class, hastened to listen to him.
Among them, many who rarely visit such
places-ftting homage to the illnstrious
Dominican. Histext--" The Temptation Of
our Lord was taken from the Gospel of
the day. In the midst of his exordium he
stopped suddenly, and, by happy orato-
rical period, thanked God that he was per-
mitted to announce the Word of God in
Rome-he felt the weight of such an honor,
rendered but the more distinguished by the
locality and the OCCASION. The location.
this pulpit placed in our national Church,
between the altar dedicated to Clovis and
Charlemagne, and the grand altar, where is
enthroned the Kingly excellence Mas
ter of Kings. The moment-that when
France, thanks to the Catholic sentiments
of her people and the eloquence Of her ora
tors, and the energy of her; government,
by the yalor of its soldiers, has maintained
the independence of the Sovereign Pontiff
and the liberty of the Roman people. The
substance and subject of the discourse was
very appropriate, the object of the oration
being to demonstrate the holiness of the
Church. He developed the three points of
the sacred record where the demon asked
our Lord to turn the stones into bread, to
precipitate himself from the top Of the
mountain, and to PROSTATE and adore him.
The demands which the demon made of our
Lord are the same which the impious
address to the Church. Such are a few of
the points of a discourse which abounded
in traits of true eloquence.
If it were permitted to criticise what is
delivered from the pulpit, We should say
that the eminent religious, though he feels
well at Rome, has rather IL too vivid remem-
brance of France. Though this sounds like
a reproach, it has at the same time the re-
semblance of eulogy.- That France saved
Rome, no one will deny but the whole
Catholic world was fairly represented in
the noble contest. And Father Hyacinthe's
auditors numbered as many of the faithful
of other nations as OF French.

"Lady Alice" is the representative of the
advanced ritualistic school Of the English
Church, and is replete with illustrations
and arguments drawn from history, srstle--
tics and literature, in defense of his favorite
" Anglo Catholic SYSTEM" which, i'll most
things, agrees with the genuine Catholic
Church, except, in an especial manner, the
supremacy of the Bishop of Rome, as the
Pope, or chief, and Presiding Bishop of the
Church Universal.
With the exception Of the ahove errsrs
and defects, which were retracted and alb
iured after the conversion Of the lamented
author to the Catholic faith, we can COM
mend this work to those of our non Catholic
readers who are DESTROYS of familiarizing
themselves with the ritualistic controver-
sizes which are agitating the Anglican Church
and its branches.

TALES FROM THE DIARY OF SISTER OF
MERCY. By c.. NJ. Brame. New York {:
The Catholic Publication Company. 1868.
The great fault observable in Catholic
publications, until recently, was the slo-
venly manner in which they were gotten
up.-Poor- paper, bad binding, intiistinct
print, and careless proof-reading- were
striking blemishes to which no amount of
intrinsic merit could reconcile us. The i'm
provement of late has been stridngly OBJ
servable, and we have no doubt will have
it's due weight in promoting the sale of
Catholic publications. The volume before
us is satisfactory specimen of the favor
able change which has taken place, the
paper being fine and white, type large and
clear, and the binding neat and substantial.
In this particular the Catholic Publication
Company has done much to popularise our
literature.
The volume before us is made up of eight
tales, viz "The Double Marriage,"" Cross
and Crown" HThe Novice" Fatal Acct
dent, y :. The Priests Death, " Gamblers
Wife," "The Apostate," "The Besetting

rage" we gave in a late number, from
which our readers may judgeof the capacity
of the authoress to invest her tales with in
.tcrest. But it would be mistake to sup.
| pose that this book is simply amusing. No
person can arise from it's perusal without
feeling that the lessons are deeply in
structive.
Mr.. Gogarty, Catholic bookseller, No.
Camp street, has favored us with a copy,
and we would adyise all who wish to enjoy
genuine reading, to call at his establishment
and procure the work.

was written, several years ago, by the late

and Italy, and was written in defense and

establishment.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
Yesterday morning two colored men in the
employ of Mr.. John Shamburg were stroll
ing in the fields near Stowman's tavern, at
Ferry Bar, and were accompanied by q
large Newfoundland dog, the property of
Mr.. Shamburg. The animal had shown no
previous signs Of disease, but was suddenly
attacked with: hydrophobia, and made a
ferocious onslaught upon one of the men,
who was holding him by chain attached
to his collar. The man seized the dog by
the throat and held him off as best he
could, but his strength was unequal to the
task, and in all probability he would soon
have been bitten, and died most horrible
death, if not for an interposition that was
hardly less than miracle. a cow belong
| ing to Mr.. Snowman, and grazing in the
field near by, rushed upon the dog, and
taking him on her horns, tossed him some
distance off from the men, who lost no time
in making their escape. The dog, upon
regaining its feet, rushed towards Harman's
Bridge, where the chain attached to its col
lar became entangled so that it was held
fast. The dog was then shot by q citizen

SUMNER REBUKED LIN the Senate Satur-.
day, Mr.. Henderson took Mr.. Sumner to
account for reflections on the President. If
nothing else should cause senators to abb
stain from such remarks, decent sense of
self-respect should restrain them. No as
sociate had Alright, either in the Senate or
in the Court, to reflect on his conduct, or
the conduct of any other senator. No man
had higher respect for his constituents
than himself, but his constituents could not
enlighten him on the question Of impeach-
ment. It was matter for his own con-
science, and nothing could ever drive him
from the performance of his duty. IF his
constituents disapproved of his course, he
was in their; hands, and they might do with
him as they wished; but he was not to be
told that party duty should make him turn
his back upon law, and right, and justice.
1t was no use in trying to make impeach-
ment party question. 1t was no party
question; and the moment party should
put itself in the position that it's members
must perjure themselves, that party ought
and would crumble into dust. 4.
