ST. PATRIcK,S CHUR CH.

Father Kcnrney on Sensation Prcnchers-
People who Go to Hear Their Pet Preacher
Instead Of the Word Of God.
Father Jonn Kearney preached the morning ser.
vice yesterday to large congregation at ST. Pat
rick's Cathedral. The text taken by the reverend
Father was from the Gospel Of st. Matthew, seven
teentn chapter, the first verses, which are as fol-
lows" And after six days Jesus taketh Peter,
James, and John his brother. and bringeth them up
into high mountain apart, and was TRANSPORTED
before them and His face did shine as the sun and
His rament was white as the light While He yet
spaKe behold bright cloud overshadowed them,
ana behold voice out OF the cloud which said,
"fnis Is my beloved Son. In whom 1 am well
pleased. Hear ye Him."
Alter explaining and commenting ON tne teAt at
some length Father Kearney animadverted severely
upon the church gOers OF the present day, who, in
stead Of going TO church to listen 10 the WORD OF
God when given In @ plain fashion 80 that It
have sensation preacher to deal out 'thunder aud
lightning" TO them. These people profess 10 DO
Christians but they are not deserving OF the name.
They listen 10 the sermon wnile they are In the
church because 1t ID to do so; but having
crossed the threshold OF the sacred edlnce on
their way home they forget the Divine lessons ex-
pounded 20 them by the preacher Tney cannot De
getting that 1t Is not the gesture, the manner
OF delivery, the polished sentences, nor any
personal attribute OF the clergyman who should be
studied, but the words OF DIVINE truth which drop
from his lips. These people set very bad example
and 1t Ii indicative OF the age we live In that the
members OF the Church OF Christ should worship the
tinsel orat0ry oil sensational preacher. This has
become growing evil. and 1t Is an unsafe and
perous path for o Catholic TO tread In. The Word
| OF God should be listened to however expOunded
| and by wnOmsoever delivered to the people.

the aim and drift or the discourse was to show
that this parable o. the laborers referred to the

to the whole text and spirit OF the Gospel and,
from various points OF view, was made the subject
OF earnest remOnstrance and warning. The preacher

cellently treated, especially in papers by Mr.. Wood, Il
most successful hOrticulturist. Mr.. Mills is known as
the grower of some of the finest pines ever seen, and
the secret of his method is thus characterised in HE
Gardeners Chronicle :-"The foundation Of his success
is common sense. He keeps his soil perfectly open
and we'll drained his roots are preserved Ivy this means
in a healthy condition he does not cramp them. These
are his great rules of conduct. They apply to other
plants as we'll as to pines"
This is really a subject ofsuch immense Importance,

bring together two passages from Mr.. Solly's valuable
little work on Rural Chemistry, wkich will, | hope, as
sist in drawing attention, and carrying conviction ia the
matter. at is a remarkable fact, that a mixture of two
or three earthS, such as lime, silica, and alamlna, ls
better fitted to abStrb moisture and gaseous matter
than either of the earths taken sngIy and, in the
same way, the addition of organic matters to the soil
has the effect of increasing this power still further;
and, therefore, the best soils are those containing a
quantity of each Of these three earths, mixed with a
moderate proportion of decaying organic matters. 1t
frequently happens that, from want Of mixture, the
surface soil is deficient in some of the important earths
and saline matters, in which the SubsoU is rich. The
system of subsoiI p~loughing, is successfully practiSed
in many parts of the country, depends mainly upon the
advantages derived from the admixtnre of the subsoll
with the surface. In this operation, a plough is en-
ployed to break up and pulverise the soil to a consld-
able depth below the surface by this process the per
meability of the soil to air is greatly increased, and, In
consequence, the subsoil is soon brought into a tit state
to be mixed with the surface soil, by the use ola suit

operation is doubtless due to the greater openness
conferred upon the soil, which permits a more perfect
access of air and moisture, and allows the roots of the
growing plants more easily to penetrate through j

ADDITION, DIVISION, AND SILENCE.

MR.. COFFEY DECLINES THE ASSOCIATION.
To The Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: You have lately published a letter
purporting TO have written by Mr.. Wm H. Kembe,
addressed 10 me, introducing to my acquaintance Mr..
Geo o. Evans and asking TO help him in " a claim Of
some magnitude" The writer adds that "he (Mr.
Eyans understands addition division, and silence"
three accomplishments doubtless suggested to stimulate
professional zeal
with reference to certain war claims Of Pennsylvania
against the United States, which ntrusted TO Mr.
Evans for collection by the State authorities. And /
learn also that these claims have been Of much
scandal and Of disered to some persons connected with
them.
viii you, then, allow me TO state through your
columns:
First: That If such letter written to me by Mr.
Kemble never received it, nor did ever see it until
to-day in your columns.
Second: That never saw Mr.. Geo. o. Evans in my
nfe nor did know OF his existence until read (as one
reads far away home) Of the Evans claims" in
such Pennsylvania newspapers as fell under my eye dur
ing three years stay IN Europe.
Third: That consequently, never had the slightest
connection with Mr. Geo. o. Evans OF the claims in
trusted TO him, either professionally otherwise
Fourth: That was connected with the AttorneyGen
erals Office during Mr. Lincolns Administration unit
the Summer Of 1864 when resigned my Office, three
wears before the date of this letter and that from tho
time Of my resignation until my departure for Europe IL
1862 practced my profession in Washington almost
clusvey the bar Of the Supreme Court OF the United
States never prosecuted single case before an Ex
ecutive Department
These facts ought to acquit me Of al connection with
the Evans case or the letter in question: But let me
add a few words.
large part Of my official and professional life wa
spent in fighting fraudulent claims against the Govern
ment some Of them In amount and backed by
huge financial and political combinations Iproudly
assert that those whether the Bench at the Bar,
in the Departments who knew best what my work was
will be the first TO bear witness that never gave any
Quarter to an unjust fraudulent claim. And chiefly
faithful servants Of the Government, and because
would not willingly lose the good opinion of any Of them
now write protest against any inference TO my preju
dice from the fact that letter addressed to me as
LAWYER which never received until to-day.
That Mr.. Kemble should address letter TO me in
style so familiar and iocuar is simply due to the fac
that our ACQUAINTANCE was then Of long standing. and
may add grew out of relations he once bore 10 rela
tive of mine, since deceased most honorable 10 Mr.
