Some of the religious papers even are
joining the worldly dailies in ridlcuing
Gov. Hardin's appeal to prayer to God
for the removal of the grasshoppcrs from
Missouri. 1t may not be according to our
fast-gaited modern ideas, this action of
persons who believe in God, in prayer, or
in the Divine authority of the Bible, can
lead themselves into SOOTHING and laughing
at such an appeal in such a time of very
present trouble. For, if the Bible be true
at all, or if God be il deed an ever-watch-
ing and prayer answering God, it is diff
cult to see how those who believe SC, can
with propriety ridicule the proclamation
of the Governor of Missouri in the face of
the promise of that God and that Bible,
as made in End Chronicles, It'll Chapter,
18th and 14th verses
eff | shut up heaven, that there be no
rain, or if l command tie tocmsts to deD0ur
the land, or if | send pestllence among my
people; if my people, which are called by
my name, shat humble themselves and pray,
and seek my face, and turn from theil
wicked ways, than will hear from hcav-
en-, and will forgive their sin, and toiW heal
their k0Hdn
If the Bible is true this promise is true,
and if it is true, and God is, as the eternal
writ declares, Interchangeable, the same
to-day yesterday and forever, why should
the Governor of State be ridiculed, by
Christians, at least, for believing in this
| promise and in appealing to that source OF
all power by which i, was made ?-Stat,

A Valuable Historical Work.

A SHORT HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH PEG
| PIE. By j. r. Green, NJ. A. Examiner in tht
School of Modern History, Oxford. With tables
and Colored Maps svo, Cloth, S1.75. New
I York: Harper & Bros. Chicago: Jansen, NJ,
Clurg & Co.
We have in this volume condensation
of all the standard and important works
which have ever appeared bearing upon
the history Of the English people. 1t is
condensed in such manner that it gives
us the History of England for over 140C
years.
There are 9pages Of closely printed
Chronological Annals, commencing with
the landing of the English in Britain, A.
d. 4i9, and closing with the latest events
of 1874. Next there are 10 pages of Cen
ealogical Tables. Then follows the
body Of the work 1t is divided into ten
chapters and these are again divided into
sub -divisions or sections. At the head
of each section the authorities are given
for the remarks succeeding, SO that if a
person wishes to study more of the de-
tails of any one campaign or subject, he
will know where to go to get the necessa-
ny information
The work is illustrated with maps
Britain in the midst of the English
Conquest" England in the Ninth Cen
tury." Empire of the Angevins, :"
''France at the Treaty of. Bretigny,"
"The American Colonies in 1640," and
England in the Nineteenth Century"
There are side notes to each page and at
the close of the volume an Analytical In
dex Of nearly 20 pages of columns to
the page which is of great value. This
book is a perfect Cyclopedia of English
History and should find place in every
library in the land. In examining this
volume our only wonder is that it can be
sold at such low figures. The Chrona-
logical Annals, alone, are worth more
than the sum asked for the whole work.
II will well repay any student or reader
Of English History to procure copy of
this work. 1t will be sent postpaid by
the publishers on receipt of the price.

" in the church, called out his name and
that of his wife, and charged them with
Giving of SIM" adding, "These parties
will be coming to me by and by with their
bastards for me to christen." he also
said, they will not be permitted to ap-
proach the rails of this altar until they
have given satisfaction" These utter
aaccs were substantially repeated On
several OCCASIONS.
The defendant, in his answer, states
hat if he spoke the words alleged he did
so in his capacity as parish priest ard
spiritual director of the plaintiff, and
claimed that whatever lie did lie was @au-
thorized to do by the laws, rules and dis
cipline CT the church; that the plaintiff
and his wife violated the doctrines, laws,
| usages and teachings of the Roman
Catholic Church by being married outside
OF the church, and by some person other
than regularly ordained priest, TO the
great scandal and injury Of the members
of the parish and church, DC.
This issue brings up the right of apiiest
to deny the sufliciency of marriage
which has the sanction of law, and on
that to base public accusation OF lndc-
cent and immoral conduct, and also in
wolves the attitude of the Roman Church
towards civil marriages. 1t has been
denied by high ut..orities in the church
for instance, by Newman, in reply to
Gladstone-that civil marriages are held
to be invalid; and it is further asserted
that even marriages between Catholics,
without witnesses or any sacred rite,
contracted merely by the assent OF the
parties, though Illegal, are sacramento,
wherever the decree of Trent remains I'M
publishcd-as in England, Scotland, Swift
zerand, America, sc. According to this,
Father Nc Glew plainly overstepped his
authority as priest; but if rot, his
'pricstly privileges probably would not
opcrate to change the law of SANDER 1t
is quite proper the questions involved in
this case should be subjected to Il legal
test.-Daceap0rt ca cite.
