VOL. 10, NO, 34 J The Bishop of Orleans on State of Paris. Subjoined ia a translation of a pastoral recently addressed by the illustrious Bishop of Orleans (Monseigneur . Dnpanloup) to the clergy and faithful of his diocese in reference to the late misTortene of Paris.Vert Dear Brethren: I come not only to ask you for prayers but to join me in a solemn act of expiation which we must (ffer to God for our unfortunate country; for nameless crimes have been committed which have no example in history crimes against -country, against society, against civilization, against humanity, against religion, against God, against everything. It is with a thrill of horror that we have heard, you and I, that they have executed the hostages magistrates, religious, priests, and even the Archbishop of Paris, a generous and holy victim of our longtasting civil wars. "Alas! your blood will not be the last that will be shed. No; for as the Scripture tells us. 'blood has touched blood,' and to these murders they have joined the fearful crime of in cendiarism. Fans is in flames They nave put tire to the tour corners of the great capital, they have drenched her with petroleum and fired her with incendiary shell?; houses, monuments, and palaces. museums and libraries, as well as the die ft T ft . .J (i aeuve or tiunim genius, the wonders of industry ami art, public and private wealth, they have insanely tried to destroy all. In the words of the Prophet, 'the ears tinle and the hands of the whole people fall with terror.' In the presenco ofsuch catastrophes we can only bow down our heads, and, striking our breasts, cry aloud to God, 'O Lord, pardon this people, and be not forever angry agains us. Farce Domine." This, my very dear brethren, is the reason why I again call on vou to assemble at the foot of the alter. Yes; let us weep for our faults, let us expiate them, and let us humble ourselves under the almighty hand of God; and to expiate such fearful crimes, which complete our confusion and show the extent of our disasters before the whole world, let us raise our cry of grief, let our tears be mingled with our supplications, and by hutnilia-j tion and penitence let us draw down mercy I and pardon. But wc must do still more, dear brethren. For thera is a warning voice comes forth from the midst of this desolation a voice which is formidable and startliog, withal and useful. We must learn to listen to this voiee. 'Et nunc rryrg,' Ps. , x: 'And now, O ye kings, 'understand; receive instruction ye that judge the earth.' For if we always have eyes that Bee not, ears that hear not, it is all over with us our country must be despaired of France is lost. What more fearful lessons can she still expect? Let skilful men, if they wish, seek out the t:.- i ,.. U, , c. muiis milieu nave uccii commiueu, ana me fearful responsibilities which have been incurred. These explanations, these rrere ly human reasonings, if we go not more deeply into the matter, only Mupify our human powers. Wo must probe deeper, or rather we must look higher, even to the 'Superior Power' which these who seemed least to beliexe in it are now beginning to talk of. Uy the ligbt cf these fearful flames which :iow consume Paris, we must see more than the hand of man we see the working of that 'Superior Power' of which the ancients spoke of in the pres ence of any great catastrophe. In Chris tian language, we must see the Hand of God chastising us for our sins, crushing our pride by the repeated heavy strokes of His implacable hand, and confounding that fatal infactuaticn which drew our hearts and thoughts from His service which has intoxicated and ruined us. The Finger of God is here who can now deny il? The National Assembly has already felt and acknowledged this by demanding public prayers with a religious feeling. f talked of prayo! 1 say with sorrow and confusion some have mocked at them: Forae have laughed to scorn this grand natural movement of a people in aflliction turning to God in prayer. The revolutionary and irreligious Press has not let slip this opportunity of renewing its usual blasphemies. Uefore these smoking rulna of Paris, under these crushing thunderbolts, in presence of this accumulation of crime, will you still laugh, ye men, will you still arguo, ye sophists? Will you 6till bias, pheme, ye impious ones? Ah! yo would not acknowledge the power of God. Well, the power of the devil has stood before you. Deny it if you dare. Is not that which has just taken place satanic? Can evil, the fury of wickedness, the mad rage of destruction. can murdcr.sacriletre, and impiety go further? This vast and formiable association which has led and Mill leads on this revolution, is not its first teaching Atheism? Itead the statues of this Alliance: Art. 1. This Alliance declares itself Atheist and decrees the abolition of! all worship, etc ; and at the same tituo the abolition of marriage. Art. 2. Before all things else the complete abolition of all class distinctions in society the political leveling of both sexes--and of all right of inheritance. And, moreover, as besides religion the civil power of tha magistracy and the military power of any army contribute to support our present social system, they wish to put an end. to both. Thus they wish to fcring about that there ehonld "be no moro religion, no more jelief in God, no more worship and ne priests that there should be no more tivil law and no magistrates, ne soldier and ne army no more inheritance, bo property in future transmitted from father fo son no ertdation in society, no society, ne more marriage ana no tamuy. nis is their programme! And all this is to be worked out by the Revolution, which some term 'Matter in fusion like the lava of a volcano and others 'a thunderbolt which will nlightea those whom it strikes.' We have secu the first essay of

an mis in rarrs, and this exDlatn9 wbv "amidst all their excesses there has ten mixed such an insane hatred of religion. This is why the Commune so rapidly established Atheism in the teaching of all the schools why they pillaged the churches, shot the priests, and made Atheism and impiety reign rampant in the doomed oirv. They even dared to force a child of twelve ' years to mount the pulpit in the Church of St. Sulpice and declare, amidst the frantic applause of their mad meeting, that there was no God that they did not want one, and, therefore scorned Him out, aa one of these evil ones dare to write. Yes, my brethren, it is this revolutionary impiety, it is this Socialist impiety which has burnt Paris; it was not the fearful pe-. troleum nor the fire shells which did tha num, it was mese wicaea ana impious ideas, subversive ef ail society, which have been instilled into the unfortunate people. See to what a point of excess these mad mobs can be urged bv Atheism thev I . 1- i L .1 1 . . . have not only imposed a fearful tyranny and most humiliating slavery on our grand capital, but their barbarities made them guilty of the most savage cruelty. And, as if to show this beyond dispute to the whole world, God has permitted that their triumphant impiety should show it? results in Paris itself Paris, the boasted center of modern light and civilizition. Alasl has God sufficiently humbled and chastised this city ! Under what a fearful yoke has she fallen! Have these vile tyrants, who for a time were masters of her desriny, have they sufficiently dishonered, sullied, and ruined her? But there is one thing which must add to- our confusion and dread. It is to see the immense numbers who have taken a part in all this wickedness, the numbers who were actively engaged iti resolving, organiiiog, and carrying out these prodigious crimes, these immense bolacausts. Tis grievous to own that there are wicked people upon this earth, but to see so many men and women, old menand young children, regularly enrolled to carry out murders and burning?! Ah! one sees now the vast perversion which has been going on with impunity now for twenty years amidst this hapless people. It is a frightful mystery ef iniquity. We wished to believe that there was only a email number in the Commune. Though all are not equally evil, yet there were 200,000 who voted for Garibaldi. For my part when I saw that vote I was fully prepared for all that followed. How strangely even well disposed people have been deceived ir. this matter, who at first excused and made liht of a revolution pregnant with such fearful calamities and crimes! They said it was only a bit of excusable spite, a Paris row, of an evil sort, but not likely to entail serious consequences. No, no! it was profound, it was fearful it came forth from the very bowels of this people gangrened with irreligion. It was neither ridiculous nor grotesque, as some called it, but it was atrocious. It was the inpvitable result of the irreligious and revolutionary doctrines which had been so long forced upon this miserable multitude. It was needful for us to know that Paris contained these formidable dregs of population, and these dark dregs assumed motion and roso to the surface of society. And if they had triumphed! and there was a day when victory seemed within their grasp! where I pray you, would France be to-day? France would bo dowu in ruin as Paris is now as she was herself in '93 under the yoke of 1,000 committees, who would have ruled the provinces in terror and established a Commune every where; guided by those detestable journals which still continue to applaud its fearful acts. For wc must be well awar that in all the large cities there exist those festering dregs of population, always seething, aud which in time of revolution, rise higher and higher, and await only the opportunity to carry all before them. Let us seek to deny it, for fads prove to U3 that the scoundrels of the Commune have received encouragement and support which it is i jippossible to forget. They have been upheld by audacious writers who have risen up on all ,ides, and who dictate each morning the grossest insults and threats against the National ' Assembly, and against their country. Oh! ye, whosoever you may be, who may be called to govern France, do not deceive yourselves as to the present fearful condition of the country. We do not want mere skill we stand in need of greatness! Shall I be allowed to express my whole thought? Why should I withhold it? for it is surely now or never that we should speak the truth to Franco and to ourselves. Yesterday the Times (Le 7t;j)) said: "With all our fellow citisens, we are crushed under a sweeping malediction, which we have all alike deserved. What Frenchman can say that he is entirely innocent of these fearful crimes?" Yes, the Times is right. Many here are guilty and many are accomplices of the Commune, without having foreseen or intended it; yet they are so. You, ye wicked, unfortunate journalists you, ye elegant and frivolous writers, ye thoughtless men of the world, yo unbelieving philosophers all ye who by word of mouth, or by your writing, have endeavored to demolish the belief and practice ef religion among this people. And we also, we are not guiltless who have failed to labor sufficiently to preserve religion. AlasJ you did not care to realise the results of your impious teach, ings; but the people with their terrible logic have done so; and beware for they have sot done yet. 'Tis I who say it. If the people remain in their Atheistio materialism if ye continue te corrupt them with your press if you do not if by labor, and love and effort, you do not sueeeed in restoring to them the Christian belief which you have destroyed, what you have seen already is only the beginning. And in the name of the Master whom you have so long despised, I tell you this is but the beginning of your sorrow Iniiium dolorum hrc. You have escaped from the abyss to-day; to-morrow you will fall back into it agais, and then how will you escape?

BROOKVILLE, IND., FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 1871.

your progress, ot your civilization, your light, your mild and polished manners, now that we have seen savagery in Paris itself, which has surpassed all the horrors of '93! And why should you wonder. For when you have have broken down all restraint, whither will the peo'ple go? Never forget my warn, ing 'It is by the breach of Atheism that Internationale strives to take soeiety by storm; and alt tne people- without religion or Christianity, every Materialist and Atheist will join them in the attack. Blind indeed is he who does net see these fatal and irresistable consequences of impiety and irreligion. . Alas! I clearly denounced all this some years ago in vain when I wrote against Atheism and the social peril. I saw the wives of impiety mount higher and higher, I saw Atheism and impiety publicly taught and infecting the people and the youth of the nation. On the other nide I beheld attacks against God's Church and the Holy See approaoh their consummation and, when some ef the warning scourges weie already upon us, I cried out ' God warns us, and we do not heed. God strikes us, and we not comprehend. Call me. if vou will, a prophet of evil, but that which is being prepared for ub is dreadful." a We are than in such strange times that this simple awakening of the remembrance of Providence on the part of a bishop created the strongest excitement and indignation. 1 answered, "To-day you declare war against God to-morrow you will declare it against society. A fearful raise will bo raised by this Atheism. Those young men thoso workmen in two years will become masters Tho International Congress at Leige and Berne have already revealed to us the presence of a St. J ust. a Herbert, of a Chaumette. or a Carriere future heroes of a new social and a democratic revolution. Some four years have passed by and this revolution is already accomplished; thoso young men and workmen have been masters; and I'aris $ in ashes. And France, breathless and astonished, knows cot wbioh side to turn. This is how God reveals His power to nations who forget Him and understand, and be ye enlightedtdJ OIj! unfortunate French society, corrupting your people by irreligion then obliged to grapple with them iu a deathstruggle for existence wheti will you get free from this circle of fire? When you shall have again acknowledged tfesus CJuist. Old not till then." "For there is no ether name under heaven given to man whereby we must be saved." Neither can an individual nor a nation be saved without Christ. If France does not again become Cnristian she is lost. But I have better hopes for my country. I console myself with the hope that France, at last enlightened by the excess of he misfortunes, will understand her true position. There is a Power above which can help uj. In this general ruin which surround us, let us raise our hearts to God our own efforts, our own strength, or rather our weakness,can never save us from such peril. We must look for salvation to the Supremo Goodness, to the Supreme Bounty, and Power, to the Master of this world and of men in a world; to God. All strength is weak in'tlie fragile hands of men tho greatest human wisdom may be deceived events may disappoint all human calculation. In a situation such as ours, in presence of threats still held over us, when civil discord may in a moment envelope us again let us learn how to stretch forth our suppliant hands to heaven let us adore and pray to God, and expiate our sins. This is the lowliness which raises up, the humility which reaps the pasts thoso tq the supplications which bring salvation. f Felix, Bishop of Orleans. Judging Soil by Timber. Almost any one knows that the quality of soil may in a great measure be determined by the timber which grows upon it, but cf the exact nature indicated by tho primitive trees people are not so we'l posted. Mr. J. B. Smith, of Patmos, Ohio, writes to tho New York Farraars Club of this matter and says that white oak land is poor; that red oak and soft maple also indicates poor land; that shell-bark mostly grows in clod, wet land; that flat beach and sugar lands are good for summer crops and grass, but not for wheat; that rolling beach aud sugar lands where large poplar and black-walnut abound are fine grazing lands, and produce, when new, large crops of all kinds of grain'except wheat, where it is winter-killed; that Jarge white oaks and chestnut growing together, and black oak and hickory indicate a loose subsoil; and that lands where the water soon sinks into the sub-soil are much t-he most valuable for grain; that a soil that will raise large crops of all kinds of grain, and then clover and timothy, and after they run out will como iu with green grass and white clover, is tne best. Notes for Butter Makers. One inch and a half shallower instead of deeper is the proper depth to set the milk. Zinc pans are better than tin, and the cooler the plaee where there is a circulation of air tho better. Skimming must be done before curds form, or else after they have solidified. Better before if you want the best butter; better if you want the most; but never half way between, unless you care more for your convenience in the matter than your profit. We advise churning every day if the cows number half a dozen. Batter washed in clear cold water while in the ehurn is not injnred, while considerable labor is saved, and the less manipulation with the hand while ia theeharn and while out of it the better. There is a 'grain to butter, aa well as a delectable something in the taste, which the hand and even paddle can annihilate. Use oak boxes for marketing, and if these rules are carefully followed tho resalt must be satisfactory. fN. Y. World.

Jenkins Relates His Experience. Maria Ann had recently determimed to go to a picnic. Maria Ann is my wife unfortunately. She had planned it to go alone, so far as I was concerned, on that picnic occasionbut when I heard about it I determined to . rjl 111 assist bhe pretended she wae very glad, and I believe she was. 'It will do you goooto get away trom your work one day poor fellow, she said, 'and we hall so uiui-u enj.jy me cooi morning ride on the cars, and dinner in the woods. On thai memorial day Maria Ann got up at five oelock. About three minutes later she disturbed mv slumhpra ami tni.i I me to come to breakfast. 1 told her I was not hungry, but it didn't mako a bit of differa nee, I had to get up. The sun waa up;I had no idea the sun began business so early in the morning, but there he was. ,Now,' said Maiia Ann, ,we must fly around, for the cars start at half past six. Eat all tho breakfast you can, for you won't get aeything more before noon.' I could not eat anything at that time in the morning, and it was just as well I could not for I had all I could do. There was ica to be pounded to go round the pail of ice cream, and the sandwiches to be cut, and I thought I never should get the legs of the chicken fixed so that could put the cover on the big basket. Maria Ann flew around and piled up the groceries for me to pack, and gave directions to tha girl about taking care of the house' and putting on her new dress all at once. There ia a great deal of energy ia that woman, perhaps a little too mush. At twenty minutes pat six I stood on the front step with a basket on ona arm and Maria Ann's waterproof on the other, and a pail in each hand and a bottle of vinegar in my coat pocket. There was a camp chair hung ou me Bomewhere, too but I forget just how. 'Now,' said Maria Ann, 'we must run, or we shall not cato'a tho cars.' 'Maria,' said I, 'that is a reasonable idea. How do you suppose I can run with all this freight?' 'You must, yuu brute. You always try to tease me. If you don't waut a scene i n the streot you will start too.' So I ran. 1 had one comfort at least. Maria Aon fell down and broko her parasol. She called me a brute because I laughed. Maria drove me all tho way to the depot on a brisk trot, aud wo got on the car, but neither of us could get a seat, and I could not find any place where I could set the things down, ao I stood there and held them. 'Maria,' I said ia wliiniog aoocnta, 'how is this for a cool morning ride?' Said she, 'you aro a brute Jenkins.' oaid I, 'my love, you have made that remark before.' I kept my courage up, yet I know there would be an hour ot wrath at home. While we wore getting out of the oars the bottle got broke, and eonsequeutly I Uid one boot half full of vinegar all day. That kept mo pretty quiet, aud Miria Ann ran oft with a big whiskered music teacher, aud lost her tan ,and got her feet wet, aud tore her dress, and enjoyed herself inueh after the fashion of picnic goers. I thought it would never come dinner time, and Maria called, me pig bojuue I wanted to open our basket before the rest of the baskets were open. At last dinner time came. 'The nice dinner in the woods,' you know. Over three thousand little red ants had got into our dinner, and they wero worsa to pick out than fish bones. The ice cream had melted, aud there was no vinegar for tho cold moat, except what was in my boot, and of course that was of no immediate use. The music teacher spilled a cup of coffee ou Maria's head, and pulled all her frira'es off trying to wipe off the coffee with his handkerchief. Then I sat on a piece of raspberry pie, and spoiled my white, pants, and concluded I didu't waut any thin more. I had to stand up agaiast a tree the rest of the afternoon. This afforded considerable variety, compared to every day office life; but there were eo tuany little drawbacks that I did not enjoy it so much as I might have done. Q8ms. If men believe they are superior to to beasts, it is astonishing what trouble they take to prove the contrary. Be net angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself what you wish to be. This world and the next resemble the east and the west; you cannot draw near to one without turning your back on the other. Grace teaches us, in the midst of life's greatest comforts, to be willing to die, and in the midst of its greatest crosses to be willing to live, What a world of gossip would be pre vented if it was only remembered that a person whe tells you of the faults of others intends to tell othsra of your faults. The chief secret of comfort lies in not suffering trifles to vex one, and in prudently cultivating an undergrowth of small pleasures, since very few great ones are long leases. Bismark is said to be charming in pri vate conversation, full of humor and amus ing sallies, but exchanging this pleasantry for coldness and harshness when business becomes the topic. If you have an enemy, act kindly towards him and make him your friend; you may not win him over at onee, but try again; let one kindness be followed by another until you have accomplished your object. That was a beautiful idea in the mind of a little girl, who, on beholding a rose bush, en tke teproost 6teni of which rose-was fading, below and around it three beautiful crimson buds were just unf3lding their charms, exclaimed to her brother, See, James, these little buds have awakened in time to kisa their mother before she dies.'

Farmers, Exalt Your Calling:. l wish there were a desire and disposi tion on the part of all our farmers to exalt tneir calling. I have often been grieved 10 near mem lament over what they term their hard lot. It i3 nor right, in the Western States, to hear the nvnpn nf 1 " a out? V VT U V I VI noble farms ta'.k about drudgery: all work land few or no opportunities for the children;andwo have especially been sorry J to hear families lament over the hard fate or some promising youth of seventeen or eighteen, who was admirably doing his duty and trainiog himself for extensive usefulness and influence. They have i muo tuui)nw.8 oeiween is situation. coarsely clad, working hard, and coming in fatigued, with some cousin at college or clerk in a city store, till at length the boy has become dissatisfied, and beared ou irom pursuing liis true interest and happiness. There can be no truer scenes of enjoyment than those witnessed in American farm houses where parents, unaer proper influences and sound views life, goveru well the family. And why should it not bo so? The land are their uwu, mey nave every inducement to lm prove tbero; a healthy occupation, and never at a loss for materials to profitably occupy their mind. Tho physician haa no moro occasion ior researoh than the farm er. I he proper food of plants and animals win alone constitute a wide and lasting fi9id of investigation. Tha daily journal of a farmer is a source of much interest to himself and other. Then, the pleasures ef a country life, provided boys and girls are not taxed with work boyond their ability. And b.3re let me aay as a general thing our farms are too large How many of us would be benefited by selling onehalf of our land and applying the proceeds io me improvement ot the other halil An acre of laud well tilled, with plenty of manure, will produce more than i'our acrea of poor land, and require less labor. All the labor on a small farm is accomplished with a saving of time, and he who saves time, saves money also. The going and returning from work, the hauling of manure and produce, each and all, are more quickly done. The owner, too, can always be in sight on a small farm, and his presence in the fidld will sometimes work wonderous. No greater mistake can be made, and perhaps no one oftener, as we think, than that of buying more land, extending our domains while our lands are not half equal to what they are capable of. This mania of buying land seems to be an inherent vine iof our nature, especially among Western firmer. A farmer own 160 acres, or 320. Not satisfied with this, he must havo 160 more for Charley, and 160 for John, and so on. In the meantime a great portion of this land only brings forth weeds, and keeps the whole family drudging the year round. Would it Dot be better to live for ourselves as well as for our children! now many or us lorego and have foregone the comforts of life to obtain more land and portion it out to our children? Hence by restraining our desires for more and applying what we might thus spend in bettering what we have, we insure peace and cheerfulness at our firesides and improve our social condition. Charity and the blessing of life begin at home. Hardly a house or tha buildings near it are as convenient and comfortable as they might be made. Let us view these things in the right light. We will be much happier and more prone to be grateful to the Dispenser of all good. Thornton Station, 111. Cultivator. Fundus tho Cause of WhoopingCough. Dr. L?tz3rich the American pathologist, has recently made a series of experiment with a form of fungoid growth which he believes to ba the cue of the very troublesome diseases, whoopingcough. The spores found in the expectorated mucus; causing the irritation and coughijg, we're allowed to vegetate into large masses, and small portions were then introduced into young rabbits by an opening in the wind pipe. The wounds thus made soon healed, but the animal became affected with a violent cough. Several animals thus diseased were killed and tha air prssages in each were found to contain very large quantitiasof aimilar fungu. These observations, so important to the advocates of the germ theory, have not, as yet, been confirmed by other investigators in the same field. Scientific American.

Housewives who are iu a habit of using only steaks and roasts make a great mistake. A capital dish may be got out of the 4 chuck" aa the butcher eall it. or the neck when well prepared. Select a pieea of meat as large as the demand of yotrr table may require, wash it well to remove all the blood or soil from the outside, have your dinner pot perfeotly clean, salt and pepper the meat well, lay it in the bottom and cover it with water, boil it from two to three hours or till it is thoroughly tender; add half an onioo, a sprinkle ofsajje. thyme or summer savory. If the meat is fat, let the water all stew out a half before it is put on the table and when your meat is browned well on the lower side in the gravy, turn it over and brown the other 6ide. When ready, take it up, add a little flour thickeoing to the gravy, or if you have a dredge box shake tu nour into tne hot gravy and brown it, then add boiling water and you will have a dish equal and to my mind superior te the common roast beef nnon hoarAiav house tables. Care must be used to turn it; and equally necessary is good judgment in having it thoroughly well cooked. IIousiwiFS. Bmnt in What. A writer in the Cincinnati Gaiette tells how he can prevent smut in wheat, and as the time for seeding is near at hand it will be well for farmers to investigate thin matter a little. The writer say: Being a practical farmer myself I would state that some years ago my wheat became affected with smut more and moro and more every year. I endeavored te get rid of it by covering my seed wheat with water in a large trough, and then skimming off the smut. It did no good. My neighbors tried lime brine, sand and various remedies, bat to no effect. Finally by accident, I had the fortune to discover a remedy. I had the year previous to sewing stored a lot of wheat on my kitchen lot over my cooking stove, and this I used as part of my seed wheat. I had not enough of it to cover my field and was compelled to use new wheat fee the balance. At harvest next year any one could Walk across the field and see the exact line where the two kinds of wheat met. I kept the pure (or old sown wheat) to itself and sowed that and that alone. 1 have never had any wheat affected with smut since. Industry and Economy. John P. Gager Jr., of Scotland, Conn-, writes to the Norwich Advertiser in iliatration of what industry and economy will do on a farm. He says: 'I commenced farming 27 years ago, with .a eapital ef 8250, which i earned by working by the month for $11 per month. I hired a farm, and hired a housekeeper for a year and half. I then married oo of the best house-keepers in New London county. From that time to the present we have attended strictly to farming, and are now owners of two large farms, a saw mill, shingle-mil), and grist-mill, with a ruo of custom from 10,090 to 12,000 bushels a year. We have a number of thousand dollars in bank stock, and about 1.(100 dollars' worth of produce oo hand. This was accumulated by attending strictly te farming, without any outside speculation. I say this to encourage young men to tar their attention more particularly to farming-' To Clean out Mosquitoes.
