RoRAN CATAcoMBs-zA first view of the
cataconlhs, to one VINO has not turned his
attention to what has been made out concern
ing them, must be simply overwhelming. Miles
on miles of intricate galleries., level above
level, crossing and recrossing beneath the
ground, inches, shelves, chambers, and crypts
looking at them aud recollecting vaguely all
he has been told of the early Christians, he
wonders when and how such a work could
have been accomplished But the explanation
after all is simple. They began with burial
places dug in the grounds of private Christians
in apostolic times, and gradually went Oh till,
in the course of four centuries, the labyrinth
at which we marvel had grown under the
hands of generations of foss0rs.s The Roman
law was careful TO protect burial-pIaces, and
therefore these places for long escaped pro-
fanation. Their Oldest names are taken from
owners of apostolic date, as Lucina, Priscilla,
Flavia, Domitilia, Pratextatus, etc, from
those whe presided over their construction, rs
st. Calixtus, or martyrs buried in them, as st.
Hermes. They were easily distinguished by
their regularity from sand-pits, and no doubt
at first were openly constructed. Afterwards
concealment became more an object.
BY way of INTRODUCTION to n full history of
the catacombs at their several epoehs, DIR.
NoEthcote has two, valuable chapters on the
position of the first Roman Christians, sud on
tho Roman law affecting burial; III the former
of which are brought together some interesting
facts, showing the extent to which in the
earliest times Christianity had reached the
highest ranks, and pointing ont how, at first,
Christianity merged with Judaism in the
eyes of the law, and consequently epioyed its
privileges as to the burial OF the dead! The
position of Judaism at the commencement of
Christianity, and inst before it, is a curious
study. In those days it was proselytizing
religion of great zeal, aud traces of its inI-
portanee found in many unexpected
quarters. But even after the eyes of the Roman
law became awake to the trHe character of
Christianity an institution which it became
its first object to crush, Christian burial would
not at once be interfered with, The bodies of
martyrs were given up to their friends, and
"sonle of the most ancient catacombs have
their origin from this very circumstance, that
a pious Christian, generally Roman matrou
of mobile rank, buried the remains of some
protected the area OF most btriaf-places, its
subterranean chambers, and probably other
buildings. There were also societies OF
brotherhoods connected with burial-places,
which at first might screen the Christian
assemblies. In short, what we learn from
antiquity falls in with the fact of the cata-
combs having been commenced at tho earliest
period, ut first, openly, and having gradually
been carried on, till they attained the stupen-
dous results we see. But De Rossi's discoveries
lead to much more detailed conclusions.

member of the Jockey Club of Paris, and ii
seems that three months ago, when dining
with some friends at n famous restaurant ON
the Boulevard, he made bet that he would be
elected a deputy. The terms of the bet were,
he should- receive a louis four dollars for
every vote he received more than his opponent
or pay in she same proportion If he was in the
minority. As he received majority of 10 597
votes, nearly $50, 600 Will DO due him il his
election is not inralias+efi- Another rs Mr..
Lecesne, elected from Havre, who, tits urged
in an American citizen. 1t seems that he lived

a restitution of his original nationality.

ScoTcH Protestant FANNY WoRsHtP.-Yn
the farm-houses of Scotland it il customary to
have family worship, which the servants, even
if Catholics, are expected to attend. I'M
fortunately, in many eases, as might be ex-
pected, the Catholic servants give up the
duties of their religion, and even sometimes
deny the faith altogether. We take the follow
ing from the Scotsman of July Is" Is a
Servant bound to attend Family Worship =
At the Lanark Small Debt Court on Tuesday
Sheriff Dyce on the bench--Jane Holland,
Brocketsbrae, sued William Cunningham
farmer, ByretoWn, for wages and board wages
from Whitsunday last to Martfnnas next, in
consequence of tho pursuer being dismissed
illegally by the defender the 29th of May,
she having been only three days in his service.
MIR. Harvey acted as agent for the pursuer,
and Mr. Morrison for the defender. Evidence
was led, and Mr.. Harvey read letter from
the defenders agent, in which it was admitted
that the pursuer was dismissed the said service
because she refused to join in family worship.
Il was pleaded by the pnrsuer that she, being a
Roman Catholic, was not bound to engage in
family worship with her master, who was a
Protestant, if she had conscientious scrup1es to
do so. Tho case was heard at length, after
which the Sheriff sustained the plea of the
pnrsuer, and decreed against the defender for
.E2 wages aud expenses.ns s5 . 49, a.. sf...ra~
