NEW YORK, March 25.-Everything is now
IN readiness for the opening Of the great flower
show at the Metropolitan Opera House, which
} takes place this evening. The foyer Of the
: building has been converted into an imitation
of an English garden, hemmed In by hedges,
with ornamental trees, blooming shurbbery,
lawn vases filed with flowers, beds OF English
primroses and blooming dubious roots. The
auditorium has been aoored over and the
boxes hidden with rich draperles from which
Japanese lanterns are SUSPENDED. In the CEN
ire OF the stage Is a fountain, its basin sur
rounded by thousands OF lilies and the water
jets Illuminated by several hundred electric
lights. Between the proscenium boxes a
triumphal arch, over fifty feet in height has
been erected composed of laurel, with palms,
ferns, ivy and century plants. On the main
door are a number OF oaks, with a fine collec.
tion Of orchids, while TO the right q pyramid
OF roses, containing nearly fifteen thousand
lowers and buds, rises 10 a height Of thirty
teet. The show is under the patronage OF q

BALTIMORE, March 25.- The DEGREES enacted
by the plensry council held in this city In No
vember, 1884, which were cent 10 Rome for sp.
prevail and returned several months ago, were
given 20 q few persons To- day in printed form.
They extend over 400 pages and are in Latiu.
The American will TO. morrow publish an ex-
tended summary Of them.
The opening decree Ia on faith, followed by
deerees on ecclesiastical persons, divine wo--
ship, tie sacramento, the education OF the
clergy, the Instruction Of Catholic youth,
Christian doctrine, zeal for souls, church
property, ecclesiastical courts aud ecclesiasti-
cal tribunals. There is q predatory exhorting
to faithfully observe the enactrnents Of the
second plenary council OF Baltimore, and q
inal title regarding the PRONUNCIATION and
publication Of thes. DEGREES. Some OF the
equations are very eloquent In expression on
he dignity OF the clergy. Sanctity and science
are 10 be the objects OF labor, and this Is to In
ure them lasting influence over the n ocks en-
rusted to their care. IL Is recommended that
special house In charge Of some religious
order should be erected for the reception OF
ests who have been suspended for serious
ults who yet give hopes Of correcting their
ious incinstions. Special attention is TO
be paid TO the music adopted in the churches
TO add solemnity to the sacred services.
One of the most important degrees is that
concerning ina lrimony. 1t holds that since
marriage was raised TO the dignity Of a sacra-
ment 1t belongs solely to the church, 10 whom
the administration Of the sacrament was en-
trusted, TO pass judgment on the validity,
rights and oblig atoms Of marriage. No legal
divorce has tho slightest power before God
10 loose the bond of marriage ard
make q subsequent one valid. Adultery,
though It may justify separation from bel
and board, cannot loose the marriage tie, so
shat either OF the parties msy marry again.
Though the church sometimes permits the
marriage OF Catholics with uon. Catholics, she
never does go without the deepest regret and
with the explicit understanding that the chill
dren OF those parties must be brought up in
the Catholic faith,
The council orders that within three years
from the PRONUNCIATION OF these rules a paroch
tal school must TO erected and started near
each church, unless the bishop for grave rea-
sons should defer for a'ime the building of
such school. The 5000, coo colored people are
the subject OF a vigorous plea for help from
all those who would place this important ele-
nent OF the future In a place to act for the
veal OF this republic. The Indian
tribes have also been considered, and
arrangements have been made for special
yearly collections to be taken up in all churches
throughout the country to help In promoting
Catholicity among the colored people and Iu-
dian tribes. Societies which are secret, as the
church understands this term-such as Ma
sonic lodges and other similar contraternities
ARE not to be joined by Catholics. The
council directs the pastors to have In every
church q free space, and sdmonishes them
from humiliating the people In public IL they
do not exactly keep within the limits Of that
space. The sale OF Intoxicating liquors will
not be allo we'd in any case. Fairs, also are
not to be held without special permit from the
bishop, aud not on Sundays, and no intoxlcat-
ing liquors C.ti, Dc sOiQ Uy tnem. Suppers ana
dinners, social parties and balls given at night
for raising money are prohibited.

BosToN, March 25.-A rumor has for some
time been current in labor circles here, that a
new secret order resembling that OF the
Knights OF Labor, and to ne called the Knights
OF Industry, was In course Of formation. In
4uiry showed that the report is well founded,

labor agitators are local leaders IN the move
