The Services at st. Adams.

To THE EDITOR or THE HERALD
1t Is my purpose 10 answer, as briefly as possible,
the protestant" who appears to have been SO
much agitated by the service which he attended at
st. Adams church. First, he wishes to know to
what sect or denomination ST. Adams belongs.
''Oi course they do not call themselves Episcopa-
lians" for that would be entirely superhuous, as
one OF the fundamental principles OF the whole
Catholic Church is that no Church can exist with
out It's episcopate or bishop; "nor do they call
themselves Romanists," as they, in common with
the whole Anglican branch of the Catholic Church
to which they belong, profess no allegiance to or
acknowledge the supremacy OF the Bishop OF Rome.
They do call themselves Catholics, for the inherit
ancc or the whole Chatholic faith Is theirs, as
taught and borne witness to by pure and apoS-
tolic branch of the Church.
His next trouble seems to be concerning the Gus
tomary reverence made toward the altar. Now, II
on entering church, or observe the ordinary eti-
quette OF the European courts, perhaps nc Will
not so much wonder that Christians should con.
scientiously pay as much reverence before what
they believe to be the earthly throne OF Him before
whose heavenly throne arohangels bow. AS to
the crucifix, lt Is difficult to understand why it
should be more Objectionable than oil paintings of
the crucfXOn or 1.-THE Descent nom the Gross"
AS to the idolatry must say am at q loss to &C.
count; for he who In this enlightened age and
country would pay worship and alteration to wood
or stone, be it In the form OF altar or crucihx,
must be most pitably ignorant or else slightly in
upon the altar as the especial place OF His earthly
presence, and looks through the medium OF all
material forms to the incarnate Godas the true OBJ
Ject OF all worship and alteration, finds in them
Him who wells His glory beneath such humble forms.
AS to the authority for such forms let him refer to
some priest who is learned In such matters and

the public schools During the reading OF the
Bible when / was at SCHOOL, was never able to
hear the exact words read In fact have never paid
any attention TO them, and have always looked upon
such reading an act OF f0ollshness and a hum
bug: not but what respect the Bible as mucn as
any person living, but as matter OF principle
am opposed to the Bible OF any "particularn de-
nomination being read in our public schools Our
schools are made up or the children OF the Jewish
tians,u and hold that IL Is wrong for any OF them
In particular" and an outrage TO introduce any
religious book appertaning to their individual
sect All persons who are not big0ted will
agree with me in the above remarks.
BigOted persons are to be found among
believers In every iorm of worship. ! know
many OF them in my own Church. who can
see nothing right outside OF their own narrow and
prejudiced mind. know many Protestant friends
who are likewise; but the last arc less to be ex.
cused than the first mentioned, because they are
better elucatedat least they ought TO be, IL they
arc not. because they have had a better orportu-

are opposed TO the public school system II the

schooS-men who murdered the Grand Lodge OIL.
GERS OF the Masonic Order in Santiago de Cuba in

NIT these terrible outrages on humanity in Cuba
arc ignorant, l0w.brcd fellows, who never saw the

The Mission at st. Peters.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
On Wednesday last was closed one Of the most
successful missions ever held in Old ST. Peters
church, Barclay street. Twelve thousand commu-
nicants and many converts-which latter was one
ofits prominent leatures-attested their devotion
and fidelity to the Church. The priests abored
late and early until all had made their peace with
God. The reverend pastor Father O'Farrell, in
order to keep up the good work has announced to
his congregation that on all sundays hereafter six
morning services will be held.
With this purpose he has made application to the
Most Rev. Archbishop TO add to his numbers an
other assistant priest. Many changes have taken
place here OF late The removal OF Father Quinn
to the Cathedral, and his assistants, Rev. M. G.
O'Farrell and the Rev. NJ. Joseph Phelan, has lett
the parish entirely under new regime. The latter,
Rev. NJ. J. Phelan, has been appointed to new
mission, with an unfinished church on his hands,
to aid him III which DR.. Drunn lectures ior him

Coal Ashes.

A correspondent of the Agricultural De-
partment from Franklin. Penn. writes:
have always believed that coal ashes
had a value for agricultural purposes, and
have advocated thejfree use of them, par
ticularly on lime stone soil. This season
determined to get closer to the root of the
matter and test their value fully. had a
plot of ground on which had been I'M
successful for several years in raising good
Early Rose potatoes. The soil was in the
best condition always. The tops did well.
This spring had the ground scored about
six inches deep. placed the cut potatoes in
the bottom. and filled up with coal ashes.
The plants grew finely Notwithstanding
the dry weather. The tops did not fall
over even after the weather changed, and
I secured the very best potatoes for the ia
BILE ever raised. The second experiment
was with onion seed and coal ashes. put
out five good-sized beds in seed. In four
the seed was covered with soil; the 9TH
covered with sifted coal ashes. The result
surprised every person that knew Of the
experiment and watched its progress. A
third yexpeFinent was started on seed
which promised utter failure to those who
looked on: ths end hes not been reached.

TAKING WILD HoRsEs.-The editor of
the PleasantOn iStock Journal thus gives
the modm operdndi Of capturing wild
horses In Texas: LAS soon as a herd OF
horses is discovered. the party of hunters
divide, one portion striking camp while
the other sets off IN pursuit OF the herd.
The frightened animals go bounding across
the prairie through the prickery pear and
dense chaparral, leaving trail which the
hunters steadily pursue at an easy gait I'M
I'll they come in sight of the herd. which
scamper OF AS before. These tactics are
kept up by pursuers for days, the mus
tangs returning to their first starting point
which they are sure to do-when the
camping party takes the place of the tired
pursuers, and thus follow the herd until
the poor, wearied, and half-starved crea-
lures, with swollen limbs and bloodshot
eyes, give up the struggle and submit to
De driven anywhere. The object of the
hunters has been merely to prevent them
from grazing. Starvation soon brings them
to terms, and the prairie monarch. with
dropping crest and detected look. leaves
his native wilds henceforth to become the
slave of man. This is what hunters call
"walkiDg mustangs down.

Iron Filings for Fruit Trees.

To question in the New York Tribui,.
Prof ;. W. Johnson. author of ..How

The statement that iron filings have a
marvellous effect on fruit trees is one that
has long been floating through our hort-
cultural literature. and don't doubt that
they can be applied to old apple trees in
way that will immensely benefit the latter.
should say that if the iron ilings be well
dug il all over the orchard. or for an area
extending thirty feet from each tree. all
around, the result would be very striking.
II the iron filings should be mixed with
some good compost. and some wood ashes
and some bone dust, doubt notthat the eff
fects would be interesting. 70 go further
