THE AMERICAN CARDINAL.

So far as the New York Uerrd has
any power for the exert;ng OF good OF
bad Influences. the same IS put forth (in
IL sort of lukewarm and cautions way .
in behalf of Catholicism. The proprie-
tor ofthe Herald, James Gordon Bennett,
the Younger. was educated in France and
reared in the Eomi~h faith. Anticipat-
ing the recently conferred Cdriiraley
OF Archbishop NcClosky. the He,U!d
remarks that the opinion seems to be
confirmed tha' His Holiness the Pope
will. at the ct..ning COnsiS;ory. elevate
Archbishop McClosky 10 the rank Of
Cardinal. There have been many corl-
ments on this proposed, action Of His
Holiness. but the only point that inter
ests the people is this:-Th7s far in the
history of orr government the Holy Sc
has regarded America, net as a great
nation, like England. France and Ger
many, but As missionary country, and,
therefore. the Catholic Church is not to
be governed by priests of the highest
rank. Now, in country where Prot
estants are so largely in the majority, it
is of very little consequence 20 the
Catholics whether they are governed "
4 Cardinal or not. We presume it would
make very little difference in lis disci-
pline But the recognition IT America
on the part OF the Holy See as a nation
worthy of ranking with the great nations
Of the world, and to BE-, therefore, gov
erned by the highest dicnltar!es IF the
Church is IA significant fact. In this
sense. therefore, the appointment of
Archbishop MrC.osky to be Il Cardinal
is an event interesting to all citizens, no
matter what their faith may I've. In adj
dition to this. the circumstance THAI the
new Cardinal is n citizen of New 1o,k,
a native Of Long Island. Il man distin-
gpished for henevolence, risty and
beauty of character. makes rs feel that
the honors Of the Holy See have been
well and gracefully bestowed.
When w. r,,lec: that His Holiness

of America on the part Of the Holy See

letter from visitor TO Salt Lake to
the Troy Times gives brief sketch Of the
Mormon style OF worship. The writer
says: "The principal object 10 see here is
the tabernacle, or house OF worship. This
is an oblong building, which seats 1900
people. IL has wide gallery, extending
around the entire structure, except at one
end where the organ stands. This organ
is of the same size as the great organ in
Boston, and was built by The Mormons up
on the very spot where it stands. It is
thirty-two feet In height, and larger than
many of the houses in the city. 1t is rich
ly ornamented with carvings In some dark
wood. 1t requires four men TO blow the
bellows. There are twenty entrances TO
this tabernacle. We attended service there
this afternoon at o'clock. There were
about 5000 people present. The service
lasted two hours and quarter. The choir
is composed of 100 m en- and women. The
men sit upon one side of the tabernacle,
the women upon the other. The Sacra-
ment OF the Lords Supper is celebrated
ev cry Sunday; it consists of bread and
water all partake oft who have been bap-
tized; it is served by ten men during the
preaching of the sermon. They have but
one service a week in the tabernacle, and
that is on Sunday at o'clock p. NJ. The
Sunday schools and other Church services
are held in The ward chui uiches-twenty-on
in all. The sermon this morning was Civ
en- by Elder Taylor, one OF the Twelve apos-
ties OF the Church. 1t lasted one hour and
M
nodding head in the audiencel The ser
vice Is similar TO ours, or about the same.
II is opened by hymn, then prayer is
made by one of the Elders, then hymn,
then the sermon. The sermon is an ex-
temporized lecture no text is taken, al
though the Bible Ia large copy rests upon
the desk the Book of Mormon is also up
on the desk. The minister neither read
from the Bible nor the Book Of Mormon.
During the sermon, or at the commence
ment of the sermon, eight Deacons prepare
the bread-that is, break il and put it into
the silver baskets; when 1t is ready the
minister pauses a moment, and one OF the
L lders descends from his seat and blesses
it. Alter the bread has been taken around,
which requires some time, then the Dea-
cons pour the water from the silver pitch
ers into large silver cups. When that is
ready there is another pause in the sermon,
another Elder comes down and blesses the
water, and that is served. The ceremony
occupies nearly all the time the sermon is
going on. There are two barrels of water,
from which the Deacons replenish their
pitchers from time TO time. The commu-
nicants seem 10 take good drink Of waller,
instead of sip only; indeed, saw no one
take less than several swallows. That ac-
counts for the necessity Of two barrels.

SEA SERPENTs.-Speaking OF these
strange, ard by some considered fabulous,
creatures of the sea, the Hartford Times
says obstinate incredulity Of the newspapers
and the public in regal 10 the existence OF
creatures called tea-serpents, begins to
weaken before the steadily accumulating
proofs of the fact. During the last twenty
years the testimony 10 this fact has come
from hundred disinterested witnesses who
have had no possible motive to lie about it
sea- captains, men of integrity, whose word
on any other subject would be accepted with
out question. Their descriptions generally
tally. There are proofs that in past times,
and in various parts of the world, the ap-
pearance of the marine monsters here spok-
en- of has been about as frequent, and as
well attested, too, as in the present day;
but such things then rarely got into looks
or newspapers. One singularly favorite
region which these creatures love to haunt
seems 10 be that part Of the Atlantic on the
New England coast between Cape Ann and
Cape Elizabeth. 1t was in that quarter, at
a point close by the Isles of Shoals, ten
miles off Portsmouth, N. H., that the first
recorded appearance Of one of these Great
ures occurred on our shores. That was
more than fifty years ago the. men who
saw it (two of the rude residents OF the
island) were out fishing in a small boat,
when the monster lifted his frightful head
and neck TO height Of apparently dozen
feet, so close to the boat that the men could
have struck him with an oar-but they
were so paralyzed by fright as to be unable
to lit hand or move a muscle. Of late
years more than twenty different appear
ances of these creatures have been noted
between that point and Cape Elizabeth.
Two years ago such a creature was report
ed as having been seen and attacked with
missiles hurled by a crowd on a bridge at
some point in the bay or harbor OF Portland.
Sometimes they are seen in winter. Dur
ing the present summer two or three ac-
counts have been published OF the appear
ance Of so-called 'sea-serpents' OF the coast
of Maine

HELL.-The word She'll" translation
of the Greek word Gehenna, is term
used TO designate the valley OF Hinnom.
This valley bounds Jerusalem on the north,
and lies below Mount Zlon-a scene of sa-
cred and imperishable associations. In this
valley Moloch, the national God OF the
Amortes, was worshipped with the horrid
aud inhuman rite OF sacrificing children In
the fire. When Josiah, in his conquests,
overthrew this idolauy, he poured con-
tempt upon the Internal practice by cast
ing into II the bones of the departed. In
the estimation of the old Hebrews the bones
of the dead caused the greatest of all pollu-
tons. Whatever person, place or things
they touched were forthwith considered
"unclean." Hence, this valley of Hinnom,
this she'll" having been the receptacle OF
the human remains which Josiah threw in
to 1t, was considered place the most pol
luted and accursed. From this clrcum-
stance 1t became common receptacle for
all the refuse of the city OF Jerusalem.
Here large quantities Of decomposlng veg
etable and animal matter were constantly
thrown. This putrescent matter generated
an abundance of worms the worms here
never died. To prevent the noxious effiu-
via, springlng from this mass of corrup-
tion, poisoning the atmosphere and BREATH
ing disease and death into the heart of the
city, fires were kept burning day and night.
This valley, therefore, was literally place
where the "worm never died, and where
the fre was never quenched."

A PRESIDENT Most Folks NEVER
HEARD OF.-A Front street saloon-keeper
is a great historical scholar, and will argue
for hours on issues, events and men of past
celebrity. Old Preston was aware of this,
and he dropped into the place, one warm
day last week, and said: "Ry cracky,
Jim, but this is warm 1 haven't been so
warm since old Gen. Cass was president of
the United States" "Whatw said Jim,
"Gen. Cass never was president of the Unit
ed States" "Why, yes, he was" replied
Preston, with well-feigned establishment.
"I'll bet you the drinks for the house he
wasn't" said the excited proprietor.
"Done," answered the old man, and he
drew forth his pocket.book, unlolded a
page of the Congressional Globe of 1889,
and proceeded to read that President Tay-
lor having died on Saturday, and, Vice
President Fillmore not being at Washing
ton, The president of the Senate, General
Cass, became president Of the United States
until the following Monday, pending Fill
more's Inauguration. When the old man
had finished reading, he looked around
and said: "Come up, boys. little
Stoughion In mine, jim. Must excuse ig-
norance you know. ."-DetrOl Free Press.

what VIII The Harvest Be :

They are sowing their seed in the daylight fair,
They are sowing their seed in the mondays glare
They are sowing their seed in the soft twilight,
They sowing their seed in the solemn night;
What shall the harvest be?
They are sowing their seed Of pleasant thought,
In the springs green light they have bithely wrough
They have brought their fancies from wood and dell
Where the moses creep and the Aower-buds SWELL
Rare shall the harvest be.
They are sowing the seed of word and decd
Which the cold know not, nor the careless heed,
OF the gentle word and the kindest deed,
That have blest the heart in its sorcst need;
Sweet shall the harvest be.
And some are sowing the seeds Of pain,
OF late remorse and maddened brain,
And the stars shall fall and the sun shall wane,
Ere they root the weeds from the soil again;
Dark will the harvest be.
And some are standing with idle hand,
Yet they scatter seed on their native land;
And some are sowing the Feeds Of care,
Which their soil hath borne and still must bear:
Sad shall the harvest be.
They are sowing the seed Of noble deed,
with sleepless watch and earnest heed;
With ceAseless hand DER the earth they sow,
And the fields are whitening where'cr they go
Rich will the harvest be.
Sown in darkness or sown in light,
sown in weakness or sown in might,
sown in meekness sown In wrath,
In the broad work-Aeld or the shadowy path,
Sure will the harvest be.

A COMPLAINT FROM MoNrREAL.-The
treasury department received an appeal re-
Gently from Montreal merchant from de-
cision of Collector Wells, of Burlington who
had compelled the goods of this merchant to
be entered in Vermont. The merchant com
plains that his goods had been properly en-
tered under consular seal under the law of
1854, and were entitled to 90 through, but
General Wells stopped them, and only replied
politely to the remonstrance of the merchant
that if the duties were paid in advance this
trouble would be avoided. This is exactly
what the merchant does not wish to do, and
is what the law of 1854 relative to consular
seals was intended to prevent. The forth
coming construction will determine the con-
duct of officials in all such cases.

The Political OUTLOOK Mr.. Blaine
delivered a speech, during the canvass in
Connecticut, which in the light of recent
events has different significance from that
which he intended it to bear at that time
With Colorado admitted into the Union, he
stated, the electoral vote will be three hun
dred and sixty-nine of which one hundred
and eighty-five would constitute a majority
The total southern vote would be one hun
bred and thirty-eight, and if forty-seven
additional votes could be procured from the
two hundred and thirty-one belonging to the
North, a balance Of power would thus be at
tanned on the presidential ballot The three
states of New York, California and Connec-
ticut, possess these requisite votes, and il
this plan should be perfected it would be
repetition Of history. In the words of MIR.
Blaine, Against an overwhelming majority
of the free states, in 1856, small faction of
them united with the South, and were cn-
abled to fasten the Buchanan dynasty upon
the country with all the unnumbered evils
that followed Democratic organs now find
evident satisfaction in quoting this state
ment. South Carolina and Mississippi are
at present Republican states, it is true, but
the latter is exceedingly doubtful, and the
complete unifcation of the South can by no
means be considered impossible.
