OATHS.

By many individuals 10 many
countries an oath is regarded very
lightly. To them it is Just as easy
to swear as to sneeze, and in many
instances easier. In the Eastern
nations, among the Mobammedans,
an extraordinary sanctity is attached
to solemn asseveration, and the be-
lief in punishment hereafter to a
periurer is carried TO degree of
fanaticism, When a Hindoo or
Burmese swears, he duplicates not
himself aIoue, but all his kindred TO
the seventh degree, all his personal
acquaintances and all bis posterity.
When be, through lapse of memory,
periures himself, all these are COM
demned to "ten kinds of punishment
and five attacks of enemies. p
Should the perjury be of a more se-
rious form, the "earth will open and
swallow them all up" Should he
Knowingly make false oath, all his
friends and acquaintance will be
precipitated into 80 great bells and
100 small ones.

GRAPE CULTURE.

Most persons not skilled in grape
culture allow too much vine training
on trelises it is Objectionable because
it tempts one in this direction.-
Probably the best plan is to train on
a single stake five or six feet high.
Have one vine run up this stake and
secure it by pieces of leather tackled
over the vine. Cot off the top of
the vine when it has eight to ten
branches. Every winter cut off
these branches close to the main
stem, leaving one bud. Esch bud
will make a branch and each branch
will bear three lunches of grapes
No pruning required during summer.

shroud gradually appear, until the
corpse at last sat up. The man said

1t will surprise many persons to
learn from as good authority as the
Rev. Emery j Haynes that Brook
Ign is not churchgoing town, and
that it's title of the City of Churches
is essentially misleadiUg. Of l50,-
900 young men Mr.. Haynes does not
believe one 10 ten goes to church -
He gives figures showing that IN a
crack Brooklyn regiment not lOO
men attend church, and that in banks
and shops the proportion of church
goes is still smaller. In six year,,
he says, 100000 souls have been
added to the population of the city,
and not ten new churches have been
built. This stats of things is food
for serious thought, not only for
Brooklyn pastors, but for Christians
everywhere. Is the fault with the
people who don't go to church OF
with the churches. = N Y. Sun.

BURIED ALIVE.

The Catholic burial ground in
Steu benvile, o., was abandoned not
long ago, and new grounds we're
purchased west of the city. Recent
ly Fathers Hsrtmedy and Hartley
wen. to the old cemetery to remove
the body of Father Duffy, who had
been buried about eighteen years.
One of the party had been a pail
bearer at the funeral. He thought
he knew the right grave, and said
that the remains were in a metallic
casket. When the grave was open
ed metallic casket was found, rus
ty With age, bat on opening it the
remains brought to view were not
those of male person, but one opens
ing it the remains brought to view
were not those of a male person, but
of young woman. The body was
not identified by any one present,
but was shown to be in remsrka~
bic state of preservation. The eyes
of the corpse we're open, and were
of blush color, and the hair was
light brown and curling. The STROUD
alone showed evidences of decay.
But the most remarkable discovery
was the position of the right arm of
the sleeper, which, instead of lying
folded across the breast, was drawn
around the neck, the palm Of hand
nearly touching the left side of the
face. The conclusions was that the
woman had been buried alive, hav-
ing been in trance at the time Of
interment.

A PLENARY COUNCIL

OF Catholic DiSn1taries to be COnvOk ed in
New York at no Distant Day-An Event
of Great Importance to the American
Catholic Hierarchy.
New York, May 31.-The Sun says
There is reason to believe that an event
of great Importance to American Catholic:
is pending. It is, we learn, the intention
of the vatican to convoke, at day moi
distant, plenary council for the United
States. The great ecclesiastical assembly
will probably be held in the city of New
York, although the place of meeting has
not been irrevocably fixed. The scope and
purpose of the council will not, of course
be definitely settled until the views of the
American hierarchy have been
elected, and to that end
several influential members of the
eplscopate will, it is said, be speedily in
Yited to Rome. 1t is expected, however
that, whereas Archbishop Spalding off
ciated as apostolic delegate at the council
at Baltimore in 1866, Leo. XIII will be
represented on the coming occasion by a
Roman canonist of extensive erudition
and experience, selected from among the
most distinguished prelates of the curia
Attended, as he will be doubtless, by
diVines of unquestioned competence and
ripe learning, the papal delegate should
be able to enlighten and inaugurate the
labors OF the council so as to permanently
ailay the troubles growing out of the in
fractions of church discipline and canonical

Of attention Brady paid The petit
tions that he now held up as
shield against the laws of justice. There
was no petition, letter or even scrape of
the pen that asked for the fast schedule
ordered by Brady unless it were the con-
tractors affidavit. If the jury found the
contractors had made these affidav1ts bv

then conspiracy was made out, crime, was
proved. Instead of tasting the waters afar
down where flowers were between the
green banks, he had taken them to the
very fountain and showed poison in that
fountain. If it was not there then the
government surrendered its case. If it was
there then for the people of the United
States he demanded that retribution be
visited upon the men who poisoned the
fountain. These defendants were bold.

brow beat the court, jury and counsel

Merrick charged John ". Dorsey with
perjury on the stand. He had devised and
concocted the whole narrative of falsehood.
He was man willing to commit perjury
stimulated by heart blackened with
crime. Rerdell lowered above such a man
as brother his master, as a leader his
teacher in iniquity. He would make his
perjury so plain the jury would see it on
their walls at night, when they blew out
their candles. In support of his assertion,
Merrick placed the testimony of John
Dorsey and Rerdell in contrast and sup
plemented it by other well applied bits of
evidence. See, said he, how they strained
at gnat yet swallowed a camel of per-
jury. In angry despair they sought to
substitute sophistry for logic. When a
defendant like John Dorsey lied on the
stand it was from conscious guilt he lied
