Mass, protests against the action Of the
late Congregational general association
at Lowell, in proposing to substitute for
wine in the communion the unteimented
juice Of the grape. He is Of the:opinion
that Jesus knew what he was about when
he ChosS wine as one Of the emblems OF
the Eucharist. To the argument that
there are reformed drunkHrds in some
churches, who are tempted by tho taste
and smell Of wine, Mr.. Clark says such
men might better hold a handkerchief to
their mouths and noses when the cup
passes them, II they cannot Withstand
temptation under such circumstances.
He does not think it altogether practtca-
Bile to fix up the world so that there shall
be no temptation in it, but that men must
be taught TO resist and overcome tempta-
ton, and use the gifts Of nature without
abusing them. AT all events, he is OPP
posed to any body Of men assuming TO
improve upon the ordinances expressly
laid down by the Savior.
The Episcopal church expects n favor
able decision in the Cheney case at Chi
cago on the appeal now Before the Su:
prcme Court. The case in its present
shape Is based on a bill asking fOf an in
junction TO restrain Rev. Mr.. Cheney
from the use Of Christ church, and the
"unwarantable misappropriation" OF
funds in payment Of his salary. The
ground on which this relief was denied
By the Circuit Court was, that Mr.. Che
ney was not lawfully degraded from the
ministry, because Of a formal error in the
proceedings Of the spiritual court. Mean
while, awaiting the decision Of the appeal,
the trustees OF Christ church have let a
mortgage on the edifice be foreClosed, and
by buying II in claim to have secured a
title free from the distinct trust by which
the property was held rs parish OF the
Protestant Episcopal Church. The Church
man declares this "a fraudulent attempt
to steal church property"
Jerusalem does not contain more than
5000 or 5000 Jews; there are more in
North Africa than in Judea; there are
scarcely any in Italy and Spain; in Great
Britain, they are in the proportion Of ]
to 1000; in France 4 in 1000, owing to
the large numbers in the German PROV
inces; In Switzerland, 1857 Jews in over
100000 population; in Germany, in
Guiding Alsace.LorIine and the Polish
province, 5l2, 160; in Austria, $4,000
or 3,8 per cent OF the whole population,
nearly one.third OF them occupying Ga
licia, OF whose population they will be a
majority before long at the present rate
Of Increase; in Russia's 100000 there
are 1,82O,10 In the old kingdom Of
Poland, Jews are 10 per cent Of the pop
ulation, and are over 3j per cent in
Warsaw.
The Boston Pilot submits these figures
The Catholics have 100000 Of the Chris
tan Indian population. The Protsstants,
according TO the Hon. Felix BrunOt, have
only $4,000. This gives the Catholics
seyen.eighths Of the whole, and one
eighth for all the Protestant sects. In
1875, Congress appropriated about $780,
900 for the Indian schools, and Of this
sum $4,000 went to the Catholics, and
$lS5,OOO to the Protestant schools. The
Catholic teachers partly supported by
the Government, last year, were 32. The
Protestant sects had ca missionaries and
teachers whollysupported by the Govern
ment.
Michael Bakounin, the leader OF the
Nihilist sect in Russia, died recently in
Italy, where he has lived the last few
years OF life spent in conspiracies, i'm
prisonments, compulsory soldering and
banishments. He was man Of high cd.
ucation and great personal power, and
was justly feared by despotism. Indeed
it ia hard to say what form Of government
would not have had reason to fear the
success of Bakounin and his sect. He il
said to have suggested the figure OF Pal
lasse, the leader Of radical hosts in kra
sinski's strange drama.
