Tho Catholic Reform Movement In Cor.


The Old Catholics, as the followers of DOL
luger chose to call themselves, still persevere
In their reform efforts in Germany. The con-
ference lately held in Munich, and at which
the leading spirits Of the Dollingerites ap-
peared, has attracted the attention of the
powers that be in the Vatican. Cardinal
,Antonelli, we are told by our correspondent
writing from Munich, is in favor Of the settle
ment Of the differences existing between the
German reformers and the Vatican. The
Cardinal it is said, supports the party of
conoiliation Ito certain point" The point
to which the Cardinal will 60 is not stated,
however, and we can only conjecture how far
ihe party Of conciliation may incline TO yield
10 the wishes Of the German Catholics
In their reform ideas. The Jesuits, as
usual, come in for their full share of
condemnation for being the authors of
pll measures calculated to stay progress,
hinder reforms and obstruct generally liberty
and independence in secular as well as re-
ligious affairs. This is the old cry, aud one
which finds favor with numerous class.
That there may be some ground for all this
outcry we do not doubt, but the Wholesale de-
nunciation of the Jesuits arises as much from
Jealousy within the Church as from ignorance
Df the Order outside it. The Old Catholics,
In the bitterness of their opposition, may
overdo the work they set out to accomplish.
IF the reform movement Is really intended to
accomplish the work of true reform, which in-
cludes the correction of alleged abuses within
the Church, its leaders might do worse than
abstain from making war on one particular re-
ligious Order out of many, and devote them
selves more earnestly to securing the full in-
dependence of the universal fold.

THROUGH A WINDOW.
BY LOUISE CHANDLER MoULToN.

/ lie here at rest In my chamber,
And look through window again,
With eyes that are changed since the old
time,
And the sting of an exquisite pain.
IT'S not much that / see for picture,
Through boughs which are green with the
Spring
An old barn with its roof gray and mossy,
And above it bird on the wing.
Or, lifting my head thought higher,
Some hills and q village l know,
And over it all the blue heaven,
With a white cloud floating below.
In the old days the roof seemed q prison,
My mind and the sky were free,
My thoughts with the birds went flying,
And my hopes were o heaven to me.
Now come from the limitless distance
Where L followed my youths wild will,
Where they press the wine of delusion
That you drink and arc thirsty still
And 1 know why the bird with the Spring
time
To the gnarled old tree comes back
lie has tried the South and the Summer,
He has felt what the sweet things lack.
80 [ come with sad contentment,
With eyes that are changed l see:
The roof means peace, not prison,
And heaven smiles down on me.

An Abyssinian Superstition.

Africa is the abode of superstition.
Even their science of medicine is moth
ing but a system of absurd conjuring.
The manner in which one of their most
affecting nervous affections is cured is
thus described by modern traveller:
The name of the disease is the tigre-
tier: it commences with fever and lin
eering sickness, which makes the pa
tient very thin and debilitated, causing
him to stutter in a curious way, so that
no one but a person afflicted with the
same disease can understand. When
the relatives of q patient have come to
the conclusion that he really has the til
gretier, they club their money together
to pay for the cure, which is generally
an expensive process.
There is cheap way, however, which
is first tried-a sort of exorcism, and
tremendous drenching with cold water.
This may be effectual, but it has also
the disadvantage of very often hasten-
ing the patients death.
The more approved method Is o cere-
mony of curious kind, and much like
that adopted in the medieval cases OF ta-
rantism. A number of musicians e
hired, and the friends and relatives OF
the unhappy patient assemble with them
in circle, we'll supplied with bowls OF
Intoxicating liquor. The music then
strikes up, and the patient, at first only
slightly affected by it, in short time
commences to dance violently. Women,
as we have seen in the case of other dis
orders, are oftener attacked by the IT,
gretier than men and when woman
has it, she is loaded with all the ban
giles, amulets, and other rude specimens
of iewelry that her friends can supply
During the dance, which often goes
on for several days, and when her ges'
lures and contortions reach u climax, she
throws off the trinkets and they are re.
stored, one by one, to their owners. Al
sunset of the day on which the treat
ment ends, if it ends successfully, sh'
will all at once start off, running at q
great pace for some hundreds of yards
and then suddenly drop down prostrate
A man comes up to her and fires a mus
ket over her head, strikes her on tn
back with the flat of his sword, and coll
her by her Christian name. If she cal
answer to it, she is considered cured
for those who have the tigretier, says al
eyewitness, are always unable to an
swer to their Christian names.
