Arrival sfahs Bishop Or Durmlah. Psfsia.

40
We&are pleased TO announce tho arrival
in our city Of m Oriental prelate, the Right
Raw. Bishop ,of Ourmiah, Persia, : nstive
Of Chaldea and descendant Of en- Illus
trious family in that country Heis, we
believe, the Arst Asiatic Bishop that ever
visited the United StAtes. FIo Wa or
dained : HISTORIAN priest by his uncle, who
il IN Archbiahop OF that sedt, and was to
succeed him I'm his See. Early, however,
II 1853 he wa, thrSugh the ministry OF the
Prtests of the Congregation of the Mission
1.-THE Lasaristsl, converted to the Catholic
Chnrch, and Immediately after hts CONVEX
sion Waited Rome, where he was received
BY the Pope, and other dignitaries Of the
Church, with great respect and esteem, ard
was treatedwith extreme kindness and at
tention. His ambition was to return q
simple priest of the Catholic Church to his
own people, ands.lsbor amongst them for
their conversion. Before leaving Rome the
Pope, wishing to enlarge his sphere of use-
fulnesa, made him Bishop of his native
place; and the HISTORIAN schismatic priest of
few years ago returned among his people
q prelate Of the Roman Church, another
witness OF the imperishable truth pro-
claimed by that Council, fourteen centuries
ago, that Mary is the Mother of God
when it condemned the heresy Of Nestorius.
Immediately after the Bishop returned
home he was seized by the HISTORIAN au-
thorities and cast into prison, where he was
detained for forty days, undergoing cruel
tortures. He received ave hundred blows
on the soles Of his feet, and was then, as .
finishing stroke, expelled by the HISTORIAN
patriarch from that sect, as if such mattered
a jot to him, a Bishop and a confessor Of
the Faith.
After his liberation he commenced to
build church and monastery, to procure
funds for the erection of which he received
the sanction of his Metropolitan TO visit
Europe, where he was very successful in
that purpose. Since he commenced the
erection of his church many of the Nesto-
rian Christians of his place have followed
him, their frat pastor, to the old Church.
He intends to return home Immediately,
and is at present staying, we believe, with
the Lazarist Fathers at Jefferson City. He
will celebrate 10 o'clock Mass at one of
their churches there on Sunday next, &C
cording to the Chaldean rite. He dresses in
the peculiar pative costume of his country,
and is an entire stranger to the English lam
guage. He will not solicit any contributions
in this city, owing to the late prohibition
by the Archbishop against priests of other
places collecting here. Any persons wish
ing to become acquainted with him, can
do so by calling on him at the Presbytery
of the Lazarists, on Napoleon Avenue
where, no doubt, he would be happy to see
them. 4.

most leisure and the utmost inclination TO

the public welfare.
If we look back, however, to the feudal
ages, we fnd that the institution did not
take it's rise in exactly such considerations.
At that period of European history society
was just forming. Chaos was being re-
solved into order, and there was pretty
.qnai con test between law and lawlessness.
Plumber was considered quite honorable.
aud the man who had force on his side
generally did very much as he pleased.
Under such circumstances it was absolutely
necessary that every body, especially all
the peasantry, should enroll themselves
under the patronage Of some great warrior
who excelled in the art of war and could
protect them. Military prowess naturally
gave men ascendancy under such circum-
stance, and the proprietor of an impregDa-
BILE castle or beetling fortress became an
aristocrat. His superiority was recognised
by the peaceful and trembling Doors Of his
neighborhood, who knew Of no State to
protect them, nor any courts where civil
rights could be discussed and enforced.
Christianity has gradually worked, how
ever, in the seething mass Of violence and
disorder, until it's heavenly law of progress
has brought the whole to at least an out
ward condition of order. Men have by de-
grees been made more intelligent, society has
which know how to repress rapine and en-
force civil rights. It follows, then, that
we have no longer need of warlike lords to
protect us, or of neighborhood aristocracy
to keep up the representation of power.
The State itself now fulfils these func-
tiops it is the mailed knight or the mar
tial Earl. ~.
It is surprising how suddenly WORKOUT
institutions sometimes topple over. Like
an old tree, they retain the appearance of
life and strength when their heart is eaten
out, and the first storm will PROSTATE them
to the ground. Knight-errantry had for
ruled the civilization of Europe,
but its vitality was already gone when the
satire of Don Quixote came to give the
final blow which struck it down for ever.
It's vocation no longer existed.
Thus it must, in all probability, be with
The people no longer need its
protection; they only feel its burthen.
Like an old and honored tree which USE
lessly cumbers the ground. they hesitate
to cut it down, but the next generation,
which never saw its glory, will not spare it.
It may be Disraeli or Dickens or a Ger
yantes who will give it the coup de grace,
or it may be the ruder hand of popular
tumult which shall bring to it more sud-
den destruction. But judging from the
march of events, that consummation cannot
be long delayed.

never ceased to cry out "Viva Pho Mono Z"
and then, when the stump had been ban
daged up, he held out the hand left him,
and said, "This also belongs to the Holy

wishes he was buried in the German Gem

No priest was there, no cross or holy en-

NoBLEMEN AT Work Few of us
have any idea of the fondness of the Eng
lish aristocracy for real hard work in
their gardens and grounds. Earl Vernon
formerly President of the Royal Agricul
tural Society, of England, would work
all day, hoe in hand, with his laborers,
and as hard as any of them. The writer
of the paragraph has seen his nephew for
hours, axe in hand, thinning out his own
plantations and once saw him with the
Duke of Wellington, both together with
a cross-cut saw cutting down large
Buttonwood.
These "reminiscences are called up by
an American correspondent who recently
visited Mr.. Gladstone, the English Pre-
mier, at his home at Hawarden, and who
found him hacking away at Beech four
teen feet in circumference. He takes
great pride in his ability to do hard work
and believes, the correspondent says, that
physical exercise induces good appetite,
and that this again re acts on mental Wig

a grip at the dog, the, latter drew him to
the shore, and landed him high and dry
on the beach. The dog, whose name is
monk, has suddenly become lion.

An American minister travelling III
Europe, writes from Marseilles as fol-
lows.
There is no such thing as Sabbath on
the eastern Continent. Travlers keep,
coming and going at the hotels as usual.
The trains leave and arrive with no
change in the timetable, save the in
PRODUCTION of two or three special trains
for excursions. The people come out of
their houses and roam the streets little
more freely because it is holiday. All
the shows. theatres, concerts, water
works, display of military, are on the
placards along the wall, with that inevi-
table word Dimancde Sunday on them,
to mark the weekly desecration.
In the course of the forenoon, bells
clang all over the city; but no Sunday
school children are visible with books
in their hands. That familiar home
sight one never sees over here. The
faces you meet are ribald and gay
stores are open, flower stands are multi
piled, and all the street bazaars are
gaudier than usual, the women-venders
chattcring like SO many magpies. Foun-
tains on every side are pouring down
crystal waterfalls, or Ainging up fash
ing jets into the air. Military bands
hurry through the thoroughfares ) in
deed, this is the chief drill day for the
soldiers.

SHOOTING GERMAN DESERTEIS.

| A correspondent at Coblentz writes:
A painful impression has been created
here by the following ineident:. Three
soldiers Of the line were undergoing a
long period of Imprisonment in the for
tress of Ehrenbreitsiein for dcsertion!
They had originally deserted at Saarlouis
and crossed the frontier into France;
but, on the persuasion of their families.
had surrendered themselves to their regi-
ment. Their term of punishment was
seven years, of which only six months
had expired. A few days ago they were
employed on the Carathuse,. the fine
plateau which separates the Rhine from
the Moselle, and it seemed fitting mo-
ment to attempt the rash enterprise.
One sentry alone was in charge of them,,
and he witnessed their flight. He imme-
diately fired and brought one victim
down dead, the bullet having passed
through his head.
With extraordinary sang .froid and de-
termination he loaded second time,
and again fired with fatal precision !; the
deserter fell dead, pierced through the
heart. Once more loading, he fired at.
the third fugitive, and the bullet passed
completely through his body, inflicting
frightful injury to his intestines. The un-
fortunate man was brought to the military
lazaretto in Coblentz, where he lies in 70,
hopeless condition. In military circles
this melancholy catastrophe is regarded
as fitting retribution for grave breach
of discipline. view of the case not alto
gether shared in by the civil portion of
the community. One thing is certain tho
needle gun, in the hands of good marks
man, is sure and terrible weapon.

TWO PICTURES.
BY MARION DOUGLAS.

An old frame house with meadows wide,
And sweet with clover on each side;
A bright-eyed boy, who looks from out
The door with woodbine wreathed about,
And wishes his one thought all day:
"Oh if l could but fly away
From this dull spot the world to see,
How happy, happy, happy,
How happy should be :"
Amid the city's constant din,
A man, who round the world has been,
Who, mid the tumult and the throng,
Is thinking. thinking all day long;
'0h. could only tread once more
The fiel1-pa.h to the farmhouse door,
The old green meadow could see,
How happy. happy. happy,

portance of the subject certainly de
mand fair dealing, or, as has been well
said, awe cannot safely begin to make
thing better, until we know wherein
it IS bad" To the teachers we look
with anxious solicitude for the on
ward march Of intellectual and moral
improvement; much of the future
destiny of the nation is intrusted to
their keeping; is 1t not then a serious
responsibility, and one that deserves
not to be thought lightly of? We
have in the county many active, ener-
getic and faithful teachers and direc-
tors who are fully alive to the re
sponslblli,y of their positions; teach
ers who are an ornament to their
professions, and directors who honor
the Office they fill. Much more good
was accomplished during the year
than in any previous one during my
knowledge. The County Institute is

It's agency much of the increased
