We cut the following suggestive para
graph from tho columns Of the New York
Freeman's Journal, in which ii appears UNI
der the head Of 1.-TWO Predictions.
On the ninth of November, lsA3, the
corner stone Of an Observatory for Cinein-
natti was laid on - Mt. Adams" in thet city.
John Quincy Adams, exPresident Of tho
United States delivered the GRAFTON on the
event. In that address Mr.. Adams went
out of his way to insult the Roman Catho-
lies of the United States. lie gloried In the
planting of that observatory on the nights
Of that hill in Cincinnati-"a beacon OF
true science that could never be obscured
by the dark shadows Of superstition and
intolerance symbolized by the Popish Cross.
No Galileo would, here, groan IN dungeons
Of the Inquisftiop," with more OF the same
order of cheap and trite rhetoric. We be-
lieve that then, or about that time, tho
Right Rev. DR.. Purcell, now the venerable
Archbishop of cincinnati, took occasion to
make another prediction to the purpose
that after the Observatory on Mt. Adams
would have ceased to exist, Catholics, N
Cincinnati, would be able to look up at the
cross, the symbol Of mans salvation, from
tue top of tower higher than the founders
of Mtchelfs Observatory had thought TO
raise. Thirty years have not yet passed,
aud the Observatory has gone from Mt.
Adams. The building once used for IL is
now occupied by an Order Of Italian Monks,
founded In the last century by st. Paut Of
the Cross! Beside their convent, adjacent
to the grounds recently occupied by the
Observatory, stands the Charch OF the In
macuIata; and the Passionate are about
to build, on the very spot where tue OBJ
servatory stood, new aud larger church,
under the invocation of Church Of the HOLY
Cross! While making some preparatory
excavations the other day, the very cornet-
stone laid with 30 much pomp IN IS43, was
dug ap. 1t will DO preserved 10, or aronnds

those who, like John Quincy Adams, lee
their hatred of the Cross cloud their joe g
ments, and befog their sight-esen as the
furnace-smoke of the growing city rendered

| Mitchell Observatory.

has offered o reward of 10, 900 lire to any
person who should capture an entire band
before the end OF this month price Of 300
lire is put upon each brigand's head that
may be brought in and 5000 upon the
heads of the ring-leaders. Nobody be-
lieves that this style of putting down bri-
gandage will succeed. The brigands arc
thoroughly smart fellows, and knew we'll
how to protect themselves against such
little douceurs.
OFFERING To THE HOLY FATHER.
On the anniversary of the Roman inva-
ten (Sept. 20), the directors of the Unita
Caftolicn presented to the Holy Father the
sum of IL, 564 francs, the whole of which
sum had been collected during the five
days previous, as q testimony of loyal
sympathy towards the Supreme Pontiff
Several other offerings also reached the
Vatican on the same day.
PROCESSES OF RATIFICATION, ETC.
While the temporal affairs are going i'll,
the spiritual affairs of the Church are
being actively and vigorously proceeded
with. The Congregation of Rites is en-
Der of processes for the Qualification and
canopization. It would seem as though
the Church by honoring the servants Of
God were seeking to obtain their interces-
sion in heaven during these times of
trouble.
THE OBSERVANCE OF GOOD FRIDAY.
On the occasion of the celebration of the
Feast of the Exaitation Of the Holy Cross,
in the Church II St. Maria della Pace,
there were assembled in the chapel of the
Most Holy Crucifx, the members of pious
Work of Reparation for the profanations
of Good Friday, which is branch of the
Society of Catholic Interests. A consider
able number of persons came in order to
gain the plenary indulgence granted by
His Holiness to those associated in the work
above mentioned, as we'll as of the partial
indulgences attached to the same. All
these indulgences are specified in brief,
dated the 10th of September of the present
year.-London Tablet.

A new denomination has sprung up in
the western portion of Mercer and Boyle
counties, KY, which is styled ttThe Soul
SleePers." They maintain that the soul
sleeps with the body, after death, until the
Judgment day. They also hold ttat God
is material, and that Christ was the first
created being, and that baptism is not
sential to salvation. Rev. Mr.. TerhuDe
is the expounder of this doctrine, and has
succeeded in converting about fifteen OF
sixteen to bis faith, and they are now Gu
gagged in building q new church, about
half way between Nevada aud Harrodsbnrg

Two CURIOUS NEEDLEs.-The King of
Prussia receutiy visited needle manu-.
factory in his kingdom in order to see what
machinery combined with the human hand
conid produce. He was shown a number
of superine needles thousands of which to-
gether did not weigh half an ounce and
marvelled how such minute articles could
be pierced with an eye. But he was to see
that in this respect even something still
finer and more perfect could be created.
The borer-that is the workman whose
business it is to bore the eye in the needle
asked for hair FROM the monarch's head.
1t was readily given, and with emile. He
placed it at once under the boring machine,
aud then handed the singular needle to the
astonished King. The second curious
needle is in possession of Queen Victoria
1t was made at the celebrated needle
factory at Reddith, and represents the
column of Trajau in miniature. This we'll
known Roman column is adorned with nu-
merous scenes in sculpture, which will im
mortalize Trajan's heroic actions in war
On this dfminutive needle, sccues in the
life OF Queen Victoria are represented in re-
lief but so finely cut and so small that it
requires a magnify ing glass to see them.
The Victoria needle, moreover, can be
opened. 1t contains number of smaller
needlesi WEIGH are equally adorned with
scenes 10 relief.

RlTUAIIsM IN THE IRISH CHURCH.
What the Erening Nail calls "Grauge.
gormanism" does not appear likely to die
out under the solemn censure of Archbish-
OPP Trench. On Friday of last week that
dignitary decided that certain portions Of
Church were an offence against the laws of
the Irish Church." and commanded their
discon,inuance. But on Sunday the eccle-
classical decree was treated as dead let
ter. 1.-THE montion," says the Eveniag
Mail, 'shas been diregarded in every par.

the church were entirely unchanged, and
