GUINEA CORN VERSUS OATS.

Oats are favourite food in our island for horses
they are also much esteemed as an agreeable.
nutricious, and wholesome food for man, though
not much used here by this biped. The meal of
this grain is distinguished for its richness in
glutten-l6 per cent or the same as the bran Of
wheat, and 5 per cent more than fine wheaton
hour-and for containing more fatty matter than
any of the ordinary cereals but in this respect
it yields the palm to Indian Corn. To these two
circumstance it owes its eminentlv nutricious
character Indian Corn contains only II per cent
of glutten, but on account of the LARGE proportion
of fatty matter it contains, it is supposed to be
we'll adapted to fattening animals by those who
suppose that all the fat eaten makes fat, and who
would order a nursing mother to drink milk. But
it is not fat eaters who are the latest nor is all
the fat in the body formed from fat in the food
but the fat certainly makes the Indian Corn more
grateful to the alimentary canal, and therefore
more wholesome. (Johnston) In'ian Corn ought
to be much more extensively cultivated in our
island than it IS now, and so too ought Guinea
Corn, which is declared by chemists to be equal
in nutritiye value to ordinary English wheat.
Oats mightbe entirely dispensed with, if more at
tention was paid to the cultivation of Guinea
Corn.

A U
ABSTRACT OF THE RELIGIOUS BILLS.
N. y. Herald)
| remain etc.

The following is an abstract of the religious
bills which were laid by the Austrian government
before the Reichsrath =
Fr&t-Bill for regulating the external affairs Of
the Roman Catholic Church. The first and most
important article of this bill declares that ''the pa
tent of the 9th Of November, 1855, (the Concor-
DAFT, is entirely abolished" No one is to be per-
mitted to hold any ecclesiastical office CT b~enifice,
who is not an Austrian subject, and whose moral
and social conduct is not unexceptionable- When
a vacancy occurs in an ecclesiastical Office, and
neither the Emperor nor the civil authorities
present a candidate for the post, the Bishop is
to notify the name of the person whom he des-
tines for the appointment to the provincial author
tiles. If the latter do not make any objection to
the proposed appointment within thirty days of
such notification, the Bishops nominee may be du-
ly invested in the vacant office. An appeal may
be made against the decision of the provincial au-
thorities to the Minister of Cultus, and if the de-
cIsion against the appointment is confirmed, the
appointment cannot be made. Article 8 provides
that if the holder of an ecclesiastical appoint
ment or benifce shall be found guilty of any Pc
nal offence, and the ecclesiastical authorities shall
not carry out the orders of the government for
his dismissal, the office or benifce shall be re-
garded as vacant, and the civil authorities will
provide for the performance of the temporal func-

tons attached to the Office. Under article 8 every
vacancy in an ecclesiastical office n benifce is to
be notified to the civil authorities ands article
IA directs the Bishops also to inform those author
tiles OF all degrees, pastorals, &c.. issued by them.
BY article Is, if the government should find that
public considerations are opposed to any ecclesi-
astical regulation affecting public worship, such
regulation is to DE cancelled. Article Is forbids
any exercise Of ecclesiastical authority calculated
to prevent the execution Of thelaw.
Second-Bill referring to religious corporations.
Under article | of this bill no new religious soci-
ETY. can be formed or a foreign society establish
lished, in Austria without the permission of the
State. Such permission article 3 will not be
granted if the objects of the society are opposed to
public order, morality, or considerations of politi-
cal economy. Under articles 8, 9, and 10, if the
member ofany religious society are found guilty
Of proceedings which disturb or threaten public
morality or domestic peace, or if the head of the
society repeatedly commits offences against pub.
lie morality. etc, the society is to be dissolved.
BY article IL, if the member of any religious soci-
ETY. shall formally declare to the political authori-
ties that he no longer wishes to belong to the So
ciety, he is to be legally regarded as having
ceased to be a member oft. Lists are to be fur
nished to the government yearly of the members
of each religious society, and the punishments in
ficted in the course of the year BY article 20
no legacies or grants in favor of religious corpo-
rations, if they exceed 900 forms (E300) in a
mount will be valid unless sanctioned by the
government. If there is any suspicion of illegal
proceeding in Il building belonging to a religious
corporation, the political authorities are empower
ed to enter the building and make all necessary
inquiries.
TAjrd-BiIl for increasing the incomes of the
lower clergy out Of the religious endowments of
of the country.
Fourh-This bill provides for the legal rccog-
milton Of new religious bodies. Such recognition
is to be granted to the members of any religion
whose doctrines are not opposed to the law and
to public morals.

with about 10 per cent of gluten and some gum, are
all the ingredients vet found in the leaf. But the
presence of these substances proves 1t TO be so similar
to the tea leaf in composition, as to lead to the belief
that it may be successfully substituted in common use
for Chinese tea. And this conclusion is supported
by the wakefulness which is said to be produced of
coffee leaves, by the bodily re~freshment it is found to
yield, by the directly nutritive power which the leaves
possess, and by the genera favour they have found
in the estimation of the people of Sumatra.
"To boiling water the dried coffee leaves yield
about SO per cent of their weight-as much as is
t3ken up bv the water from the most soluble varie-
ties of the coffee bean, and more than is Welded by
Chinese tea. In this property, therefore, the leaf Of
the coffee tree is also equal to the bean" (James
Johnston).

CHRIST7ANSTED, april 18th 1874.

For the last couple days the wind
has again been northerly, and showers
highly beneficial to the growing crop have
been falling in different parts of the island.
Last night the wind increased and in this
town and vicinity the fall Of rain was from
4 to 5 lines. 1t is the prevalent opinion
that a continuance of this weather would
greatly increase even the crop that is now
to be taken off. For keeping life in the
young plants it could hardly be better,
until, as we may expect, the so-caIled
" little rainy season. sets IN.

It is somewhat significant that Prince Bis
marck only managed to obtain a majority of
ffty-eight in the German Parliament on the
motion for annuling the clause in the Alsace-
Lorraine law giving the Governor of the Prov.
ince power to institute a state OF siege. This
seems to show that there is a strong feeling in
Germany against the policy adopted regarding
the province, and possibly even against the
policy of its annexation at all. We may, per-
haps, suppose that the contemplative Germans
are not quite satisfied with the wisdom of for
chilly detaching a spirited people from their
country and Incorporating them into another
State against their strong aud express desires.
The iron of a heavy military service is Just now
entering the souls of the Germans, and they
must know that far above every other cause
that of the annexation of Lorraine has
couduced to what they d~eplore. If the French
had been merely Worsted IN war, they would no
doubt have felt a soreness towards their con-
querors for many years to come. That soreness,
however, would probably have been of the ma
ture of that exhibited by them towards Eng
land after the Peuiusular War-a feeling that
was not so intense or bitter but that it might
have given way to the action of time and the
exigencies Of politics. AS it is, however, the
feeling of France towards Germany is one not
only of bitterness, but of an inextinguishable
craving for revenge and of a reversal of the
late arbitrament of war. Germany, by her
policy of erecting Alsace- Lorraine into a " bull
wark" of defence against France, has at once
taken into her political system two millions of
inplacable rebels and converted a next-door
neighbour into an unrelenting enemy. 1t is for
this reason that Germany is compelled to keep
up a standing army much larger than suits her
finance, her convenience, or her development.
If the Germans had themselves deliberately
adopted the line of policy pursued in regard to
Alsace- Lorraine, they might have acquiesced in
its results with more cheerfulness. But they
know that political were sacrificed to military
considerations, that it was the agreement of the
Emperor and Prince Bismarck in what was
proposed originally by Won Moltke that alone
led to the annexation that is the root of the
evil under which they vince, and they are not
therefore indisposed to %criticise and caVil at the
acts of the Government, It cannot but be i'm

lBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUNE.1
WASHINGTON, Dec 1.-Gen. Garfield rose to per-
having read at the Clerks desk an editorial in
Thursdays TRIBUNE. based on letter, which stated
that the Appropriations Committee had put the
additional subsidy of $5O0,OoO for the Pacific
Mail in the Post-Office bill, he said that the
statement was entirely erroneous. The bill had
not been reported to the House, as every men,
Der knew, and had not even been considered in his
Committee He had not himself even looked at the
estimates of the Postmaster General which were in
the hands of Mr. Tyner, as subcommittee to pre-
pare the bill A joint meeting of the Appropriations
Committees of the Senate and House had been held
during the recess with a view of ascertaining in
what directions retrenchment could be effected.
At that meeting two subcommittee were ap-
pointed one on the expenses of collecting the
revenue, and one the expenses of the Post-Ofice
Department The three members of the House Ap-
preparations Committee, who were appointed on the
latter were Messrs. Tyner, Wheeler and Marshall,
and the preparation of the Post Office bill had been
deferred until they had finished their inquiries.
The mistake Of The TRIBUNE had arisen from
erroneous information furnished not by its Washing
ton correspondents but by some person in New York.
and be had no doubt the Editor would promptly
correct it. This the substance of Gen. Garfield
statement 1t was made in good temper and in
marked contradistinction to the Butler method of
calling the newspapers liars, and shaking his fist ut

JUDGES OPINION OF THE DECISION.
Appointment member of the Brooklyn bench stated
last evening" in reply inquiries regarding bis opin-
ion of Judge McCue's decision, that when the
original motion for bill of particulars was made
before Judge Nelson, the claim was that the plain
tiff should state the times when and places where
the wrongful acts were perpetrated, and that he
should be prevented from proving any other time
and place. In the argument on Thursday, however,
before Judge McCue, Mr.. Evarts gave up that
theory, and claimed that the plaintiff in his state
ment should approximate to the times, and that
doing this would not preclude the general circum-
stantial evidence appropriate to such q case. Had
the case been thus presented to Judge Nelson he
might and probably would have granted the bill
of particulars in the FIRST instance The decision of
Judge McCue, lie added, does not affect the case in
the least. Mr.. Tilton is required to give time
and places; but his witnesses may testify with ref
to the act Of adultery without regard to the
circumstances under which it committed. and
his documentary evidence may relate merely to the
act This is as it should be the act is the material
thing in this case, the time and place the inmate
rial. To require that the proof of the material
should depend upon the proof Of the immaterial is
not justice In business transactions the dates may
be required because the books Of the parties in
volved contain all such records, ought to- but in
of this sort the act, if committed, has been
studiously concealed, and it is hardly to be sup
posed that any considerable evidence be brought
to fix the occasions. "I think" concluded the
Judge that Mr.. Tilton present, under this de-
cison. all of his evidence relating to the act itself
which he charges, and without restriction aside
from the ordinary rules of evidence
