A peculiar and interesting event oc-
CURED at the Convent of st. Joseph, In
Carondelet last Wednesday. The con.
fraternity Of the convent are tho pos
SCISSORS of q large number Of sacred rel
les, such as bones, teeth, hair AMI
skulls of canonized saints. These rel
les have been taken from the Cata-
combs of Rome, and their genuineenss
is attested by certificate which Is sign
ed by the Pope, and which accompa :
nies each separate object; besides this,
further convincing proof is furnished
by inscribed tablets, also taken from
the Catacombs. The most valuable
and precious of all the sacred objects
are, perhaps, the complete bodies of
four saints, martyrs of ten Roman
prosecutions. st. Berenise, st. Aure-
liza, virgin and martyr, and st. Neuo-
sia. These are encased in wax and
thus preserved. Not less interesting
and rare objects in the collection were
three vases filled with the blood Of
martyrs. The student Of ancient histo-
~ is familisr with the fact that in the
early Christian era the blood Of mar
tyrs was carefully preserved and, plac-
ed in jars, was guarded AZ sacred.
There are ], 400 Of these relics which
have been kept in room specially
set apart for that purpose. Recently
it was decided by the Sister Superior,
Mother Agatha, and her assistants,
to rgmove the sacred treasure to more
appropriate and safer place, and &C
cordingly the ceremony Of TRANSLATION
took place last Wednesday morning.
Extensive preparations had been made
for the event, which was conducted
with imposing and solemn pomp.

Of the church, and distinguished
priests as well as laymen, were prep

In the North American Rcview for
September the Rev. Ed ward Everett
Hale, Unitarian preacher Of Boston,
raised the question whether the Amer
lean people, as . whole, believe that
the preachers who address them on
Sunday are sincere, and Say all they
know" Having been rebuked and be-
labored by the weekly organs Of the
orthodox Protestant denominations for
writing this article, Mr.. Hale now
gives its historyin Communication 10
the En1ependent. He WA. asked 70
write 1t, he says, BY an authority enti-
tied tsigreat respect. The title sug-
gested to him was "UnbeIief in the
Pulpit;" this he thought best to soften.
The suggester Of the, article wrote to
him: "Several orthodox clergymen in
our acquaintance have admitted pri-
vately that they do not any longer be-
lieve ia some Of the principal dogmas
of their creed, but that they have not
the honesty and courage to publicly
avow their change Of views" As to
his clerical critics. Hr. Hale says they
are agreed only in saying that 1t is
none Of their business anyway, and In
arguing from their own individual sim
cerity to that Of the profession at large.
Some aftirm that orthodox people still
believe that Joshua halted the sun and
that Jonah spent three days and three
nights in the interior economy Of =
whals Others deny this. Not one of
them. so far as he knows, has oandidly
net the4uestion raised in the article.
"I dosnot think" says the Unitarian
preacher, sit Is fairly answered either
by saying that I am liar, as some Of
these writer's say; or that I am hyp-
ocrite, rs others say; or that am q
writer Of stories for magazines as others
say."F

New York has more fun out of its
transit lines than any other city In the
world. On the street railroads high
wayman enters the cars at convenient
intervals and robs the passengers; on
the elevated railroads they let man
into the Enclosure, and then the train
Jumps out and leaves him. He grabs
somebody's head below. A man can
ride down town in the street cars and
be robbed. and 60 back in the elevated
train and be inaimed for life. Thus do
the New York lines combine pleasure
with business.
