ENGLAND's RELIGIOUS CONDITION
Papers were read at the Church Congress-
yesterday which confirm in remarkable
manner the truth of Mr.. Brights epigran
" that the working classes care as little
for the dogma as the upper classes for the
practice Of Christianity" Canon Barry
reporting on the religious condition of
the nation as represented by the upper
classes of society" says that unlimited
skePtlcism, the positive license Of con-
scious ungodliness, and a resolnte self
trust and self-will are their only rule of
life. " The Bishop of Bedford, who re-
ported on the industrial classes stated
that, without much speculative unbelief
or hostility to religion, 1.-THE feeling of
the masses is that of simple Indifference"
The speakers had, of course, no intention
OF vindicating Mr.. Bright, and their teg-
tlmony Is all the more valuable on that
account Their gloomy picture Of the
two extremes Of society is hardly relieved
by the account given in another paper of
the religious condition of the middle
classes. They contain, we are told the
religious might Of the nation, bat thew
display deplorable moral weakness in
reference to commercial transaction"
The admission that the most RELIGIONS
part OF the community is deeply tainted
with commercial dishonesty is at any
rate courageous, and if it be true, it COM
pllcates the knotty problem which the
Church Congress has set itself to face.

The mausoleum Of the late Mark Hop
kiins, the California millionaire, Just com
pleted, has cost, with two or three excep-
tons, more than any public or private
structure IN Sacramento The tomb pro-
pei, is twenty feet long, sixteen feet wide
and twelve feet high. It is built Of huge
red granite blocks from the Sierra Nev9-
da mountains, some Of which, it is said
weighed, in the rough, about thirty-six
tons. They are dowelled together on the
plan pursued in building the Eddystone
lighthouse. Black granite is used to
some extent in the ornamentaton, and
the style Of the coping is Egyptian. The

Carrier Pigeons.

1t is not uncommon, In this country, to
see doves or pigeons flying about farm
er's barn. In some cases they are raised
for sale in the market; and very del.
icate dish for the sick is a Young pigeon
whether tame or wild. In the VICINITY
OF New York several parties breed car
rler pigeons, more especially for trials Of
speed than practical use. During the
past season several races have been made
with these wonderful birds. Last week
the final one occurred, the pigeons being
taken to Newport, Pa, and there let
loose. The distance is about one hun
dred and sixty miles, and the average
speed OF the winning bird was a mile
and half per minute. The longest
flight Of New York carrier pigeons was
IN September, when four, marked Han
cock, English, Garfield" and car
thur" were liberated at indianapolis
Ind, for trip to this city, distance Of
$50 miles. The Garfield" arrived TWEEN
ty-two days after, on September 9th.
II the wind had been favorable, and the
BIRDS OF proper quality, they should have
reached their destination within twenty
four hours. Quicker time than that is
on record. A frst-class carrier pigeon
will fly at the rate of mile minute,
but OF course the longer the distance the
slower will be their rate as thew an
Proach their destination. Besides. at
mospheric changes will considerably
retard or facilitate their flight. A
strong head wind will impede the
rapidity of their progress, and favora-
BILE breeze will lend them additional
swiftness.
The training of carrier pigeons com
mences when they are about three months
old. The lnitiatory step consists in TAX
ing them about mile from The parents
coop and letting them loose The dis
lance Is doubled the next time, and so
on progressively. The carrier is larger
than the common pigeon, and measures
ABOUT hfteen inches In length, and weighs
from one and fourth to one and a half
pounds The neck is long, and the pee
toral muscles are larger. An appendape
OF naked skin hangs across the bill. and
continues down either side of the lower
m1andlble. Those pigeons are considered
the best that have the appendage rising
high on the head, and Of considerable
width across the bill, and that also dis
by a wide naked cirolet
around the eyes. In England it is usual
to keep the birds in darkened cellar
where they are sparingly fed, for six
hours previous to their fight. The mes
sage is usually fastened round the upper
part Of the birds leg, but care must be.
taken that it is not tied so as to inpede
the birds fight.
For centuries the carrier pigeon served
a purpose which is now served bv the
electric telegraph, and their usefulness
has not yet entirely departed. It is
known that these birds were utilized to
carry messages by the Asiatics and Ro-
mans, and during the crusade Of St
Louis they were SO employed. Accord
ing to Tasso carrier pigeons were used
in the siege Of Jerusalem and Ariosto
makes the CASTELAR, di Damiata snrea5
the news Of Orrilo's death by a messenger
dove. 1t is well-known that during fbe
last siege Of Paris these birds were em-
