DECAYING RKLIGIoNs.-TurnIng to the vari-
Gus religions, the professor compared those
which had with those which had not the mis-
si0nary spirit. The former were alive, the lat
ter were dying or dead. The religion of Zoroas-
ter, the religion of Cyrus, Darius, and Xerxes,
the religion which but for Marathon and Sala-
mis- might have become the rel gion of the civ
ilized world, was now professed by only 100 900
souls, and another century would probably ex-
haust the remnant who.still worshipped the wise
spirit Ahuraruazda. The Jews were about
thirty times the number of the Parsees, and
would probably never increase, though they
might not soon vanish. Brahminism was still
pTofessed by ITO 600, 900 souls, but 1t was dead,
because 1t could not stand the light OF day. The
worship of silva and vishnu was more barbarous
than the worship of Jupiter, Apollo and Miner
va. 1t might live on, but when a religion had
ceased 10 produce prophets, champions and
martyrs, 1t was virtually dead. Ii was true that
the goddess Kali, with her necklace of human
heads, her disheveled hair, her protruded
tongue and blood-stained girdle, was still. in
the broad daylight of the nineteenth century,

and write and think, whether these were the

Of the world would have to be fought out be-

Der Of Christians was double the number OF Mo-

known panel-house thief Molly Holt, who has
tor several years operated in New York, Wash

Union, and regularly evaded the authorities.
Some time ago complaint was made by gen.
teman from Cincinnati, named Solomon, that
he had been decoyed into q house and robbed

been her cunning that, although the robbery

How THEY PROVIDE FOR THE POOR ABROAD.
Among the quaint forms which poor relief as
sumes In different countries, none Is, perhaps,
more singular than the 'Laegd'' system, still
prevailing in some parts Of Norway. The
Laegd system consists in the pauper being quar-
tered bodily upon the peasantry, who prefer
feeding and lodging TO relieving the poor with
money. 1t is stated that the poor commissioners
are in the habit of sending agreeable and trou-
blesome guests by turns. The beggar colonies
OF Holland are another specimen of the curiosi-
ties of poor relief. At Ommerschans and Veen-
huiZen, population consisting of 1855 beggars,
$40 old soldiers, 100 orphan or deserted children,
and 29O other persons. are planted out by the
state on tracts of health, engaged chiefly in az
riculture and spinning and weaving.

SHOCKING MURDER OF AN INFANT BY ITS
FATHER.-Henry Buckridge, the infant of
John and Margaret BuckTidge, who was re-
ported in the Herald of yesterday as diving at
the Long Island College Hospital, Brook yn
from the effects of inhuman treatment received
at the hands of its father, died at an early hour
yesterday morning. 1t appears that Buck
ridge, who is salesman employed in a whole
sale store, has been indulging too freely In the
use of the maddeniDg bowl for some time past
and on Saturday evening returned to his home,
NO. 133 Douglass street, in a frenzy of excite.
ment, On entering the apartment, where was
seated his wife, Margaret, and his child, baby
only three months old, he seized hold of the in
nocent little one and dashed it against the bed
stead. This terrible act of violence he fol-
lowed up by beating the infant with his
hands about the head ard body until the
maudln cries of the unfortunate mother,
who was drunk, brought the neighbors
upon the scene. The dying child was picked
up and conveyed to the hospital, where
it expired as above stated. The parents were
both locked up in the Butler street station
house. The mother was taken with a fit during
the night, and was also removed to the hospf-
tai, where she now lies in a precarious condl-
ton. Mrs. Buckridge is so years of age, and
her husband IL 80. Both are apparently intelli-
gent people, and have, heretofore, borne excel
lent characters among their neighbors. Coro-

If the little leaves turn yellow, add one drop OF
ammonia into the utensil which holds the water,
and they will renew their luXuriance. Another
pretty ornament is made by wetting sponge
