A New York correspondent writes
Three years ago four Sisters OF the Order
OF st. Dominic began living In q dwelling

only Dominican Sisters in America. They
now number sixteen, and on March 29fl

rules Of the order are the strictest that are
known in the whole Church. The mem.
bers never leave the monastery except In
cases OF absolute necessity. and then only
with the permission OF the priOress and
the bishop OF the diocese. Their time Is
passed in alteration Of the Host, I'M pray.
ing, and in making ecclesiastical embrOid-
cry. Day and night one Sister kneels be.
fore the niche Of the exposition in the
chapel, and at midnight all the choir Sis.
tiers recite an office in the chapel.
The new building in its outward aspect
is rs gloomy as prison. II is butt Oi

have IRON bars. IL is 100 feet square, and
encloses court 65 feet square, in the cen.
tire OF which is a deep well, covered by &

locks. The key TO one lock is held by the
prior, and the other by the bishop or ms
representative. Not even priest may enter
the cOister. Between the priest and the
Sister, when in the confessional is not only
a double iron grating, but on the peni-
tents side sheet-iron screen filed with
holes about the size OF a lead-pencil. The
part OF the chapel set apart for the Sisters
stalls Is separated from the rest by wall.

the debate in defence Of the bill. bit he de-
voted large part Of his remarks TO per-
sonal attack upon Mr.. Reed, Of Maine,

borEoOd OF his former encampment. He
adopts thes ameitone in his intercourse with
his people as before the last disaster, anu is
eXhorting them TO religious war. He assures
them that in the third battle success will
be theirs; but the tribes are much democrat
lied as they reflect upon the full signif-
canoe OF their crushing defeat. Osman
does not hesitate TO make use Of stern mea-
sures towards any OF his followers who
show signs OF disatiection. Two sheiks
who attempted to leave his camp have been
placed in chains.

reward for OSman's head reached the
hands of the sheiks with him. They read
it and spurned it with supreme contempt.

under orders TO kill all stragglers whom
they meet, whether they are English or be-
