Sir: In A[acaulay's Essays, In his review of
Isanko's "Livos OF tho popcs," may DO found tho
following true and remarkable language, aa
apropos now aB 1t was when written, forty yoars
ago. Il ought to bo full Of warning to lisigious
and prosecuting seotaries:
Fifty years after the Lutheran separation Catholi-
cis could scarcely maintain i!acl OH tho shores Of
the Mediterranean. hundred years after tho sopa-
ration, Proesantism could scarcely maintain itself on
the shores Of the Dac. Tho causue Of this rennrka-
bio turu in human affairs deserve to lo investigated
The war bctwecn Luther aud Leo was war

leaders had gonc to tho grave, and had left no sue

Among tho Protestant Princes tlero was no true
Protestant feeling. Everywhere tn tho Protestant sido
vas iilkcmarsnness snd lauguor; everywhere on tho
Catholic sita was ar.lor and devotion. Not only was
Catholics than among tho protea.auta, but the wholo
zeal Of tho former WIS directed aganst tho Protest.
nts ws anoat o %os zeal e. no M
Church there were 10 serious disputes on ponta Of
doctrine. . . The wllolo force OF Komo was,
therefore, effective for tlo purpose Of carrying tho
war against tho Reformation.
On tho other hau1, tho forco which ought 10 1ayo

food or clothing, since 1859, just before the
war, at the closing of the war, and DOW. The
Express says:
''At the present time wheat -four is selling
for about one half It's value in 1864, aud prices
are actually lower than iu 1889 when the
finances OF the country were on specie basis.
Wheat is now worth only one halt of what 1t
was in 1864, aud is selling at about the same
prices in Inflated paper that it did In gold 10
1859 Corn also is selling for half what 1t did
in 1864, although little higher 10 currency

enormous shrilkage as compared with 1864
but the present currency quotations are SOme-

visions, sugar aud Office show heavy decline
IN prices as compared with 1864, but the pres
