WOMEN AND WORSHIP.


koEdon 1Yorid. July 16.
Fancy fairs, sensational murder trials, funeral
pageants, aud discussions in Convocation on the
wearing Of ecclesiastical vestments, duly re-
ported in the columns Of the daily press, have
given lady newsnaper-rcaders more OF interest
and entertainment than journalism usually
affords. As regards the last Of these topics, it
is true that the divinos in council assembled at
Westminster have addressed themselves to
other matters Of essentially greater Importance.
But into the region OF abstract theological con-
trovezsy the feminine mind seldom cares to
make an excursion. The symbol, not the belief
mbolized, attracts; aud the cut and color of
the p1icstly robe appeals lar more forcibly to
the Imagination Of the 7'e'igieuse of the period
than disquisition on the true meaning Of the
damnatory clauses Of the Athanasian Creed.
To the larger portion of the wives aud mothers
Of England the only religion known is that Of
Ritualsm, and Ritualism is nothing it not an
affair OF bright hues, complicated posturcs,
elaborate services, and well-trained choirs. The
ceremonial ordinances OF Ritualsm are part of
their daily orweekly lfe just as the dinner-party
or the ball On the conduct Of life the ball or
the dlnner-party has, in most cases, far the
greater influence. Society represents q system,
aud religion more or less highly-organizcd
group Of sentiments. As now generally under
stood, it does not imply conviction OF. conduct;
it is a fashion, like charity; trade, like nurs-
ing; or czotchct, like the patronage OF Tom-
EMS employment associations, and Of primary
schools. So far as the polite world knows or

GENERAL NOTES.

The discstabllshmcnt OF the Episcopal Chuecl,
in ireland has advanced rather than retarded it.
While negro vas being baptized in Madison,
Ca, the other day, one OF the brethren stole his
shoes.
Trinity Episcopal Church at Montreal was
sold the other day under mortgage debt OF
$3s,Wo.
Tic First Congregational Church Of Man

Recent statistics indicate that the Roman
Catholics still outuumbcr ull other Christian
denominations.
The Alliance, anxious for vacation, asks its
readers if they will agree to its suspension OF
one issue. The editor wants to go fishing.

The Rev. Mr. Ross. Of East Williams, Ont,
has forbidden Freemasons to approach the COM
munion table in his church on the ground that
at Masonic funerals the name of Christ is not
used ia supplications to the Deity.
Prosecutions OF Protcstants still continue In
Spain. Two Protestant missionaries in Vigo
visiting Morgadeores: recently, were set upon
by mob headed by three priests, and almost
stoned to death, escaping, with severe wounds,
in q carriage. Other missionaries have been
warned OF at other places under threats.
Some OF the Roman Catholic papers have been
making considerable ado over the Prince Of
Wales and Others Of the ROYAL family bo,siug
their heads while attending rcqutum mass for
Prince Louis Napoleon. Foreign gentlemen
when in England follow the fashion Of the na-

The Rey. l.. G. AIcLaren, Of the Scottish
United Presbyterian Mission in Japan, estimates
the present number OF communicates OF all the
Protestant denominations in Japan at between
5000 and 4,O0O. This shows that the Protestant
membership mas been trcbicd in a little over
two years. At this rate, says Mr.. McLa7cn,
Japan would be Christianlzed within the pres

BISHOP RYAN

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 1.-While many of the Cath
olic clergy here are very reticent in regard to
the rumored elevation to the Archiepiscopacy of
Rishop R:au, at present Coadjutor for this
Archdiocese, and his transfer to Chicago, which,
It is said, will be created an Archdocesan See,
r number Of them talk readily on the sub lect,
and say 1t bears out tho opinion they had pre-
riously held that something OF this Kind must
ri necessity occur in connection with the re-
port, based on cablegram recently received
from Rome, that Pope Leo Is about to create \
new Cardinalatc for the West, aud that Bishop
RYAN would be the Pope's choice for the scarlet
hat. The new Cardinalate, it is said, is to be
riycp to America in view of the great increase
il, the Catholic interests Of this country; and
while few Of the clergy seem to think an
American Prince Of the Church is only figure
bead disrtary, there are not wanting many who

tice Of any doctor in St. Louis, arrived here to-
gether. They were both plain Irish lads, ana
eacn determined on making his way III the world
in q the vocation he had selected. When they got
oil the ferry on the levee and came to count no
their money. they had exactly Is cents between
them. The Story is told how theY tossed up
penny to see whether they would spend part Of
the money for supper or fn going tQethe theatre
th&t evening. The theatre won the toss, and
the two immigrants went supperless to bed on
their first night in st. Louis, but, 1t they had not
satisfied the cravings OF their stomachs, they
certainly enioyed the mimic feast, anu, it ap-
pears, did not regret the result Of the toss-up.
Less than year aftetward Bishop Ryan was
ordained by Archbishop Kenrick, and since that
time his personal history is record Of continued
uiumphs and is Intimately connected with the
growth and prosperity OF Calholiclty in the
West The two Irish boys OF 81 years are both
now rich In fame aud in the more substantial
things OF this world and the other, aud 1heg
look back with fond remembrance to the night
they invested the few and only cents they had
in couple Of galicry-seats in the theatre.
a TACT which has come to the knowledge OF
your correspondent would seem to lusti-
fy the suggestion made By one or two Chicago
priests. that Bishop Ryan's name had been seut
on to Rome as the diguassi,nus Of the three from
whom the Pope is to select the late Bishop
Foley's successor. In the meeting of Bishops
which was held for the election no definite con-
clusion was arrived ut in the morning. but the
result was clearly foreshadoWcd, aud when the
Bishops met in the afternoon again it took but
q few minutes to determine the result. Bishop
Ran was at the morning meeting, but was not
present in the afternoon. 1t is one OF the rules
Of the election for Bishop that the candidates
arc to know nothing Of the fact that their names
have been used, and the dignissinas, diqalor:
and d;gnuS are not known until the documeuti is
returned with the pope's approval. This, some
think, explains Bishop Ryan's absence in the
afternoon.

pei them to work for such wages as
might be offered, or starve. This report
after citing much testimony, says:
From survey of the whole field no
other legitimate conclusion can be form
ed than this: That the negro in many
of the southern states has no legal pro-
lection of person or property. Statutes
and constitutional provisions, made for
his protection, are Systematically defied
and successfully nullified by lawless
combinations of white citizens. The real
difficulty seems to be that a large pro-
portion of the white people of the south
ern states are determined, since they
cannot have slavery, that the negroes
shall be kept in condition as near to
that of slavery as possible. They not
only do not wish their elevation, but are
opposed to it. They have looked upon
them so long asprOperty that they lOathe
to look upon them as fellOw-citizens, hay
ing equal civil, religious and political
privileges as themselves. They are es-
pecially opposed to their social elevation.
They do not wish them to own lands and
be intelligent and independent. They
want their labor, but they want it to be
that of dependent serfs.

THE SOUTHERN EXODUS.

From tue Post ID Tribune.
Some time ago, Secretary Sherman in
structed E. S. Hamlin, special agent of
the treasury department, to visit the
Southern States and examine carefully
into the causes and probable extent of
the negro exodus. Mr.. Hamlin has per-
formed that duty and presented his re-
port. This report is an able and inter-
esting document. 1t declares that the
sole reason for the exodus is the desire
of the blacks to escape from the unbear-
able oppression, cheating and Outrages
perpetrated upon them by the southern
whites This oppression is not wholly
or mainly political. Their political Op-
preston is bad enough. but IT. could &c
endured; and the negroes, with their
strong love for their birthplaces would
not migrate if political oppression was
all the wrong they suffer. But they are
cheated in every possible way out of
their hard earned wages; they are COM
PEELED to pay from two to four times
as much for all they buy as white men
pay for the same goods; they are robbed
of their little property often when the
plunderers are i'm too much of hurry
or lack opportunity to cheat them; there
is no justice for cOlOred people in any of
the courts; the laws are framed pur-
pOsely to reduce them to hopeless serf-
dom; and the whites not only take no
interest i'm their education, prosperity
or elevation, but actually oppose every
effort they make to better their con-
ditiOn. Hence they seek to migrate.
The report instances whole parishes
in Louisiana where negroes are charged
$50 barrel for bacon, So a barrel for
corn meal, etc. The planters of Delta
and Madison parishes formally agreed
that all payments made to negroes should
be in parish scrip, and never i'm legal
currency; that farm hands must get
passes from their employers, or else be
punished if caught away from their PLAN
tatiOns; that the rent of land to any
negro should be $40 an acre per year;
that wages should be $12 month in
county scrip-$6 down each month, the
balance after the next years crop should
be planted, so that, if any negro quit
work, he would lose half his years wages.
One negro refusing to submit to these
rules, and trying. to get away and go
north, was pursued and shot. In other
places by mutual agreement the land
owners would not sell or rent land to
negroes ON any terms. This was to COM
