filled with gentlest charity, the Catholic Church
ardentiy desires that others should taste the
precious fruits OF her peace, and, following the
example OF her Divine Author, she, while re-
mailling firm in defending: the sacred cause Of
Justice And truth: and bending neither to the
ilattories nor yielding to the threats vi nny uils
WhosnsoeVer. goes like loving mother to meet
her wandering children, and offers her gifts for
me salvation even Of erenenlfes. And we. who
~ tho secret councils Of Providence, were called
70 the government Ut tho whole Christian fam:
1y, shall, through the Divine grace, ever watch
zea!ously over the defense and the guardianship
OF the spiritual aud temporal rights Of the
our poor strength and life itself.
lie concludes BY thanking God that his
words recently addressed to the Bishops
throughout the world for recalling Christian
philosophy to its place of honor in the schools
obedience, and BY expressing the hope that ali
the world, recalled BY Christ to new life, may
once more enjoy the beauty of peace.

"pRY ROT IN CHURCHES.
10 the Editor Of Ihe Chicago Trfbuns
CHICAGO, Jan. T.-Under the head "Re-
ligious" in The TRIBUNE of last Sunday is
found an abstract of sermon by the Rev.
Robert Collyer on the "Dry Rot In
Churches Such subject is well calculated
to attract an audience, and it is not strange
that on the occasion the church was full.
Sensationalis1n is fast becoming the only
potent decoction made use Of by ministers to
check the disease of dry rot in many Of their
churches, and the gifted religious jokor
{Collyer) has administered that nostru to
his patient (his church in Chicago) till

What he says i'll his published discourse
about the four eras in the life Of church,
namely: "Inwardness, Ontwardless, World

DOCTOR T1THRow AND MOODY AND sANKEY.
To tie Editor Of The Chicago Tribune.
CHICAGO. Jan. Al see it stated that DR.,
Witlrow, pastor of Park Church, Boston, is
the latest Investigator Of the Moody and San
key converts, and that he finds "that, with
very few exceptions, those converts have re-
turned to their former ways"
Now, am not informed as to the deduc-
tions Of Dr.. Withrow concerning the above
conclusions, but will he, or any protesting
Christian, venture the denial that the pres
ence and power Of God was manifested in
those meetings to the awakening of the care
less and bringing them from darkness to
light'? Or deny that any thereby tasted
the heavenly gift and were made partakers
Of the Holy Chest and tasted the good word
ofGod, the powers Of the world to come''?
say venture the denial" because it is
well understood among Christians that it is
not small thing to speak lightly Of the in
huences and work OF the Holy Spirit.
Il, then, the work was genuine, and many
were turned from their wicked ways, why is
that with very few exception, those con-
rerts have returned to their former ways ~?
1t Is because the most of them, being unable
" "pay pew rents, have been by the system Of
pe~-rentlng excluded from the means Of
grace Afforded by assembling themselves
together in the house Of God, and with
out which the strongest Christians
ale N great peril; aud, therefore, it
s not surprising that those new be-
e!anefs, being without the instructions, and
sa11o sr%amoaltons, and fostering care of Christian
iaolct, s14ald tall into apostacy That this
nn Iat ~ u tnese converts have fallen away
ns,Soe roSae Is more guilty than Dr. Witlrow, to-
Eemet M Win the church Of which lie is pastor;

e. se.s rom their church benefits, which bene-

The New York horse railroad companies
feed their horses an average of eight pounds
of hay and thirteen pounds of grain per day.
In summer the grain is mixture of corn and
oats, equal parts by measure. In winter the
corn is increased, and a less quantity of oats
is fed.

the Board for that purpose.
The ox-eye daisy has become a great pest
in some parts of the country Those who
are troubled with this weed should bear in
mind that it is propagated by seed, and not
by root and that TO rid themselves of it they
have only to NOW before the seed is ripe. 1t
may take two or even three seasons to rid a
field of this innocent looking flower
No other one vegetable product has been
perfected TO greater extent than lettuce.
Formerly only a mass of spreading leaves
made up the plant while now the finer young
sorts have firm dense heads like the cabbage,
without any bitter flavor, and of light green
ish color and very brittle and tender. As a
necessary dish ON the breakfast table in early
spring it can hardly be superseded +; certain
ly not by the radsh, a more pungent but less
favored relish. The elder Booth in "A letter
to his father advises the use of lettuce be-
cause of the small and harmless amount OF
opium contained in its leaves.

RESTOCKING Trout STREAMS. - Many par
ties in attempting to restock streams with
trout have the impression that if they put q
few thousand in their stream one season that
the work is done. 1t is folly to suppose that
stream which has been fished for years, and
thousands Of fish taken therefrom every year,
can be restocked so quickly the work should
be followed up, and the fish protected during
their spawning season, and in few years
they will regain their former prolicness.
1t is much easier TO stock a stream than to
raise fish in ponds, because the young fish
will care for themselves better THAI any one
can care for them and if they are protected
from danger until they are forty-ive days
old they are tolerably able to look out for
themselves.
In stocking a stream the young fish should
be placed in the small spring rivulets one
and two feet wide that feed the main stream.
AS they increase in size they will gradually
settle down stream and will run up again to
the head waters to spawn.
When the young fish are placed in the
stream they should be distributed along in
small quantities a few rods apart so they will
all find food, as the little fellows are local in
their habits and will remain within a few
feet of where they are placed, for some time.

a Plate OF Potatoes.

There is considerable inquiry among far
mers with regard to potatoes. Old varieties
like the PeRchblow are running out, and the
newer kinds are not well enough known or
have some Objectionable qualities, The ear
ly varieties are generally light troopers, as
compared with those that ripen later, and the
latter are liable to rot, and are often not of
the best quality. Probably there are new po-
tatoes which will prove acquisitions, but they
need to be better known. Having become
acquainted with several good new kinds,
contribute my mite to the stock of popular
information.
The Early Vermont has been inquired
about by several correspondents. 1t is pref
ty well known in this vicinity, and universal
ly liked. 1t is very like the Early Rose, and
some say is identical with that kind. This
comes, 1 think, from mixing, as when grown
on the same farm it is difficult to keep the
varieties separate. Those who can get early
Vermonts pure will find them little earlier
than the Early Rose, of the same shape as re-
CARDS length, but rather plumper j, O., the
Early Rose is apt to grow long and fat, while
the Vermont is long one way and round the
