VERSAILLES, May 3.-In the Chamber
oI Deputies Minister Simon, replying to
NJ. Lebond's intepetution relative TO The
Ultramontanc intrigues, said: Neither
the Government nor any political party
could be held answerable Tor the attacks
on foreign governments in newspapers.
The petitions for the re.cstablishment Of
temporal power were the work Of feeble
minority. The Government had to put a
stop to these petitions. The Government
would not tolerate any attack on Catholi-
cism, which they sincerely respected and
which now enjoyed unprecedented liberty.
They were determined to make all par
ties respect the law. The Government
would protect the clergy while they con.
fined Themselves TO their spiritual duties,
but would deal firmly with them II they
encroached on the civil power. The
Government had heretofore pursued n
conciliatory policy, because they desired
peace in France and Europe, but they
would henceforth act with resolution.
The debate was adjourned until TO-
morrow.

Charges Against Rev. J. Miller
OF the Presbyterian Church. tOI
HnrnEY-

TRENTON, n. j., May 2.-Thc New
Brunswick Presbytery assembled this
morning to consider the charge OF heresy
against Rev. ]. Miller, OF the Presbyter-
ian Church, in that he has published a
book denying the trinity and immortali-
ty OF the soul. Rev. Dr.. Gosman is the
Presiding Moderator. Numbers Of
eminent Divines are present, and the
trial excites good deal Of interest. Rev.
DR.. Shuddoffer opened the prosecution
by reading extracts from MiIler's book,
and showing that the sentiments held are
in opposition TO and contradictory of the
Catechism and the confession of faith OF
the Presbyterian Church. At the conclu-
sion OF Shaddofer's charges, Miller rose
to reply. He said, in the first place, that
his book does no. strike at the
yitals Of religion, and, therefore,
does not contradict the confession oi
faith no man in the church held calvan-
istic doctrines with greater boldness and
tenacity than he. He believed in Christ
and in His ransom; he believed the Faith.
er was God, the Son was God, and the
Holy Ghost was God, but he did not be.
lieye in Trinity. They were not separate
Miller then proceeded at length to defend
his doctrine: asIto the Immortality Of the
soul he owned himself as opposed to the
doctrine. Luther, he said, opposed it
many men opposed it, and he did not be,
lieve he would be deposed for opposing
il, nor did he think he would be deposed
for abandoning the doctrine Of Trinity
and fixing himself in the Divinity o.
Christ and looking to him as God. The
doctrine OF Trinity as commonly held, he
declared could not be explained by any
theologian present.

dreu of Israel in the different States

suppose, will learn with surprise that
there are far more Jews in Maine

From the Catholic World.]
It Is difficult to estimate with ac-
curacv the number of Jews in the
Tnitpd States. But the census Of
1870 affords US some valuable Gata
npon which a calculation may be
based. In 1850 there were 81 Jewish
svnagocucs in the United States,
with sittings 70; 1877 persons, and
having a value of S4ls,6Oo. In 1860
there were II synagogncs, with sit.
tiugs for 34.4l2 persons, and value
of 81, 1875 300. Iu 1870 no less than
lS9 Jewish "organizatious" we're se-
ported : there we're 1872 synasogueS
seating 1896 persons and valued at
$l55,24. Now in the city of New
York there are 20 Synagogues, and the
Jewish population of tie metropolis
il not less than $4,000. This would
give an average of sorne 5000 souls
to each synagogue and, if we took
this average as a basis of calculation,
VIC should have a Jewish population
In the whole Of the United States
amounting to 4jG, 900 souls. But we
have reason to believe that this is
much less than the actual number.
We have received from two high
authorities estimates of the Jewish
population 10 the republic both are
avowedly only estimates, but they
have been made with care. One of
them places the number Of Jews in
the United States at zone in thirty of
the whole popn|ation.' which would
give IL total of 1000, 900 souls the
other reports the number to be sal
most exactly l,00O,00O souls
According to the census of 1870
there Mere no Jewish synagogues or
other Hebrew organizations IN Arizo-
ma, Dakotu, Delaware, Florida, Idaho,
Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Me-
braska, Nevada, New Hampshire,
New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Vermont,
Washington Territory, or Wyoming.
But, in point of fact, there are many
Jews in all or nearly all, these States
and Territories. The following table

dreaming of Home"

Yesterday forenoon Canadian In
dian lngged a back~load of baskets

sat down on Randolph street, back to

stuck out straight before him, the sun
beamed into his face, and he paid no
heed to the tread of feet around him.
There was gang Of oilers at the
corner, and thy naturally wondered
how they could have some fun with
the red man. Hunting up ten or
fifteen cobble- stones, they distributed
them in the baskets until Mt least
one hundred and fifty pounds had
been added to the sleeper's load.
That was fun as far as it went, but it
was not enough. A saloon.keeper
was out washing bis windows with a
hose aud the boys managed it 50 that
he had to 60 in and leave his wo'k
Then one of them picked up the pipe,
turned the full stream on Los head
and the effect was all that could have
been asked for. The red man must
have imagined that the Falls of St
Anthony had been turned loose tt
run down his back. Uttering a wilt

then rolled sideways off the curb

was tied, and off came the baskets
The boys had disappeared, the waite
was shut off, and jnst what struc

He shook the water IF his hair, 8irt
ed it off his old wool hat, and BY
by picked up his load. The weigh
astonished him, and when he discov
cred u rock in eucll basket his amaze
ment was intense. His jaw fell,
cheap look crossed his face, and as L
heaved ont the stones lie growled:
