THE STATE FAIR. Its Prospects-A Met hr dist Clergyman and his Blooded "IV .gs"-A Counter? pane Worked under Difficulties Who will Deliver the Address, ?ie. [FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, 8. C., November 8. The State Agricultural and Mechanical Fair, which will be opened to the public on Wed? nesday morning, promises to be by far the most interesting exhibition ever held in South Caroli? na. Every train brings visitors and articles for exhibition. The hotels and private places of en? tertainment are being rapidly filled up, and the streets present quite a crowded and lively ap? pearance. Colonel D. Wyatt Aiken, the energetic secretary of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society, arrived last Saturday afternoon, and found awaiting him a large number of letters from parties who desired to exhibit articles and stock. These lerSers were not altogether from residents of South Carolina, but also from parties in Geor? gia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Vir? ginia and Maryland. Colonel Aiken informs me that the number or articles and or stock sent . k from other 8tates will nearly, ir not quite, equal the number sent from South Carolina. Among the exhibitors is a Methodist clergyman of South Carolina, who sends four blooded horses. Another, ls an aged lady about seventy-five years or age, a native or South Carolina, but at present living lu North Carolina. She writes requesting that a quilt counterpane worked with her own hands may be entered, saying that when Sher? man's troops entered her native S'ate, plunder? ing and burning as they moved, she waa engaged upon the quilt, and when forced to dee, retained it, and in her flight continued to work upon it, hoping all the time that she might live to ex? hibit it at au Agricultural Fair ia her own be? loved State. The speaker who will deliver the address has not yet been announced, but lt is generally be? lieved that Dr. Daniel Lee, of East Tennessee, will consent to do so. Dr. Lee enjoys the enviable reputation of being more thoroughly versed in agricultural affairs than any other man in thc South. It is stated that he was virtually the founder of the Patent Ofllcc at Washington. For many years he was secretary of the United States Agricultural Society, and had charge or the United States "Experiment Farm" at Washing? ton. Afterward he was employed by the State or New York to deliver a lecture on agriculture In each county or the State. Since then he has edited the Southern Cultivator, thc Field and Fireside, and later, has been professor or agricul? ture at the University or Georgia, ir he consents to deliver thc address, the visitors to the Fair may confidently expect tobe both interested and in? structed. D. T. Corbin and a large number of other Radi oal office-holders are here. During the "Fair week" Mr. Mark Read and Miss La Fond, late of the Metropolitan Theatrical Troupe, will give a number ot theatrical per? formances. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Thc San Domingo Ring -Minister Washburn*' and bi? Petty Cash-The Legal Tender Law-A Revelation about Grreley-Washington Gossip. [FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] WASHINGTON, November ?. There mu?t be something suspicious in the proposition to annex San Domingo to the united States, because some of the worst men known to the Washington lobby are engaged in pressing it most earnestly. Yesterday they importuned the President to fail not to indorse the scheme m his annual message; but they found the admin? istration fully advised of the views of the half-bar? baric population of that island on this question, and possessed of a knowledge of the advantages which would accrue to the united States by an? nexation. Tue government has a report from its own special ambassador who was sent out in Au? gust last to investigate this scheme, and the re? sult in brief is, that the United States can have ; San Domingo almost on its own terms. Beyond its use as a naval station for the gulf squadron and its salt deposits, it does not appear that the Leland is of very great valne; and what ls more objectionable to its annexation is that feature of the plan which proposes that Con gress shall give it a State government. In this respect the lobby interest here founds its claims. lt wants to establish a national bank, to elect Its members to Congress, to control the salt deposits and otherwise make money ont of the new State. It is well understood that San Domingo has a lit? tle pride in the matter, aud will not be annexed to the United States unless she can become a free and equal State In the Union. Congress may be induced to get a foothold in the West Indies by going so far as to admit another neg~o govern? ment within the Federal confines, but . inght to be cautious enough to inquire why th<* ?\ abing? ton lobbyists have such an interest in tu?. ; latter. There ls no doubt whatever, in spite of all thc denials that have been made, that Minister Wash bnrne has asked the State Department for a large appropriation of com to meet, what he calls, the contingent expenses of his legation. This comes from a man who has been notorious in Congress for years in cutting down the salaries and ex? penses of every department of our foreign and civil service, and resisting with a narrow spirit of meanness every extra dollar for a widowed pensioner, oT a maimed soldier. But Washing? tonians returned from Paris say that Wasbbnrne lives in cheap quarters and will be able to s"ve at least twelve thousand of his seventeen thousand dollars worth of salary, and that his call for more funds is to help out his two Secretaries of Lega? tion-one of whom, Frank Moore, of New York, has been absent from his duties all summer, en? gaged in writing a book, or compiling one, per? haps, out of a guide-book, after the manner in which he made np the "Rebellion Record," viz., out of newspaper extracts. The Washburne fam? ily has always been known as a great humbug, 'and members ef all parties here feel rejoiced that the ene who misrepresented us in Paraguay, and the one who now misrepresents us in France, are exhibiting themselves La their true colors. There is a great anxiety felt in financial quarters to learn the decision of the Supreme Court on the constitutionality of thc legal tender law. The long delay, for the cases were argued last term, leads many to believe that the decision is adverse to the constitutionality of the law. Mr. Spalding, of New York, who drafted and pressed through, while in Congress, the legal tender act, bas written an elaborate letter claiming that the law was a war measure solely, and that he makes no pretensions that the act is constitutional. Careful judges say that an adverse decision will not interrupt business matters materially. Fu? ture contracts can be made on a coln basts, and greenbacks will be quoted at a discount, as they are now in California, instead of gold being called at a premium. It ls not unlikely to hasten the day for specie payments. It is a fact not known outside of one or two persons in Washington that Horace Greeley was President Grant's original choice for minister to England, and that he was abont to send his name to the Senate when Washburne, who was then Secretary of State, advised Grant very warmly against any such step, and, of course, prevented the appointmcut. It had been intimated by out? siders to Mr. Greeley that he would receive the appointment, and, had lt been made, be was ready to accept it. lu the meantime, Washburne was always professing the warmest friendship for Greeley, and was very active in spurring up the latter to sustain the proposed Impeachment of Andrew Johnson-a proceeding that Greeley for a while was very loth to enter upon. The gratitude which the notorious Washburne family usually manifest for those who have doue their best to elevate them is thus illustrated. It may bc pleasing to the old Tribune philosopher to know that Washburne informed Graut that the admin? istration needed Mr. Greeley more In this country than it did in England. There is a bill pending in House, which the Radicals intend to pass this session, providing for the division of The State of Texas, so as to carve out another State of that portion lying west and south of the Colorado River, to be called the State of Lincoln. This was old Thad. Stevens' original blU, but ft was reintroduced in April last. The senatorial eke Hons o? 1671 and 1873 will, for tiie most part, result in thc choice of Democratic or Conservative senators, and this is a part of a plan to steadily maintain the balance of Radical power in the Senate by cutting up the Southern States and securing additional Radical senators. In the division of Texas it is quite likely to suc? ceed, but if proposed for Virginia or Mississippi, as hinted, it will probably fail. For three years past one of the New York pa? pers-the World-has published in full, or a sy? nopsis, the President's animal message, while the important reporfcof the Secretary of the Trea? sury was telegraphed prematurely to two West? ern papers last year and the year before. Grant and Boutwell have determined that this shall not happen this time, for they arc going to send thc message and report to Congress In thc original manuscript. It is only when these important do? cuments arc printed confidentially in pamphlet form that they get out prematurely. Senators and members arc coming in unusually early for the meeting of Congress. Thc coming session is the long one, and will probably last un? til July next. It is therefore a mutter of some in? terest for Congressmen to be on hand to be com? fortably located. The quarrels of the negroes and carpet-baggers in our municipal government here arc producing good results In expensing plunder and corruption. The principal administration organ here, the Re? publican, comes out this morning and announces that Mayor Bowen has stopped his subscription to that paper, and has notified thc publisher that "he has no further use for him." People are de? lighted at the prospect for a complete expose. An old story is revamped herc again that a new party ls about to be started to place Chief Justice Chase in the Presidency. There is no fouudation for lt. Judge Chase reiterates that he never In? tends to aspire to political honors. The banker Corcoran was shocked at thc news or Peabody's death. They had completed ar? rangements to spend the winter together in the south of France. The Washingtonians have a new concert hall, which was tilled with a splendid audience to hear Patti this week, and now they talk about an opera-house. Thc "removal question," verily, hath stirred up this people to do marvellous things. Thc new Intelligencer has not been sold to Sena? tor Sprague or anybody else-all the stories to the contrary. The city is fast tilling up. Pennsylvania Avenue, these bright autumnal afternoons, ls resplendent with the golden locks of the blondes and the bright colors of the new fall fashions. ZETA. THE ABBEVILLE PAIE. Winding np the Festivities-Distribu? ting thc Prize?-Riding and Driving Feats. [FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] ABBEVILLE COURTHOUSE, November 6. Abbeville forever, say I. She is and must continue to be the Banner District of the State. I mu6t again regret my not seeing a reporter here direct from THE NEWS, for I can't do the subject half justice. Two days did not suffice for our County Fair, for on yesterday the people came pouring in again by the hundreds to see whatever the Executive Committee had to show them. The regular hour of ten o'clock called forth the music, and present? ly came into the hollow square the beautiful stock. Thc groomed mares and their gambolling sucklings, worthy of a stock country's exhibition, and then the mules, followed by the braying asses. Each in turn, as he deserved lt, received the blue ribbon and passed on. Music again, and a few moments of idle time for the hundreds to discuss the justice of the com? mittee's decision, and then followed a grand and beautiful display of all the premium stock, driven and lcd through the public square. Just at this time I was quietly perambulating the crowd, and was much amused at the volun? tary remarks of thc wags here and there. One fellow shouted, "Talk about old Abbeville being dead. I tell you, men, she's Just been born." One colored man said to another, "I tell you, Jim, no chance for nigger here; too much white folks about." "Hurrah for South Carolina, old Abbe? ville is going to be her capital," cried a third. "Columbia had better look out, the next state Fair will be held In Abbeville," said a fourth, Ac, Ac. And all these remarks were made in the best good humor; not a riotous or drunken man in that immense throng. About this time the president announced on the street the premiums would now be awarded in the Courthouse, where the ladies were requested to repair, as seats would be secured for them. The Courthouse seats about five hundred persons, but it did not seat near all the ladles present. I thought to myself just then, "look here, Jim, this is no place for white men, nor nigger either." The house being called to order, the premiums were awarded by some selected member of the Execu? tive Committee reading out thc awards to the suc? cessful competitors, and some other member re? ceiving from the secretary and handing out the premium. Some one in the audience demanded a display of the premiums, and immediately the president opened a few, and asserted to the au? dience that every article distributed purporting to be sliver was the pure article, and was so war? ranted by that honest and enterprising firm of Messrs. W. G. Whllden A Co., Charleston, of whom they were^bought-a compliment well put and clearly deserved. Some competitors, of course, were chagrined at the decision of the several committees. But this is what was expected; though, I think, in the main, all hands were satisfied. At the close of these exercises, which consumed a couple of hours, the president announced that the exhibition would close with one more scene, and that, perhaps, the most interesting of all. And so it proved to be. The yonng men in at? tendance upon the Fair had, by voluntary contri? bution, made up a, purse of thirty dollars to be awarded by a committee of select gentlemen for the best horsemanship. Thc committee had the square cleared, and seven gallant contestants en? tered the "ring." Such riding has seldom been seen In this State. Thc committee required thc young men to walk, trot, lope, go at half speed, dismount, mount, Ac, and, finally, to perform "the figure eight," commit all sorts of gyrations among the trees on the square, and to ride Just as no other men in the world, it seemed to me, could be made to ride. Finally the contestants were reduced by the decision of the committee to four, and, as no one of these could be selected as a suc? cessful competitor, the judges awarded .to each a premium from the treasury of the Abbeville Agri? cultural Society, and returned to the gallant riders the "pool" for which they had so manfuhj striven. Following this contest was another for thc best driving, and after an exercise sufllciejitly long to wear out both driver and horse, the prize (a fine hat) was awarded to a young citizen of the district, who, with great skill, drove his pet ani? mal, one of his own rearing, just where and as thc committee desired him. Thus ended, Mr. Editor, the first Fair in South Carolina since the war-a success beyond the an? ticipations of its best friends. And what a com? ment upon the croaker's idea, that it was too soon to begin this mighty work of inducing the owners of dear old South Carolina to regenerate, recuperate, disenthral and resurrect their native land ? Thc good work has begun in old Abbe? ville. May the Lord extend His intluence from the mountains to the seaboard. C. H. A VERY STRANGE STORY. To bc Taken with a Pinch of Salt. A Florence newspaper, "L'Italie,"' extracts from the "Annales de la M?decine ct de la Chi? rurgie Etrang?re," the following extraordinary history. The Italian paper, for reasons easily to be gathered, docs not give Implicit credence to this statement, nor lend lt the editorial sanction: On thc 18th of April, 1S63, in the prison of VU lorlca (Province of Mlnas-Ccrzes,) in Brazil, two men, named Avciro and Carines, were executed at the same Hine. In Brazil executions take place with closed doors, in the Interior of thc prison. Dr. Lorenzo y Carmo, of Bio Janeiro, well known by savants for his remarkable works on electricity applied to physiology, his surgical skill, and his success in autoplustic operations, obtained permission to profit by this event In order to experiment on the power of electricity, and il? lustrate its analogy with some of thc phenomena of life. The numerous experiments hitherto at? tempted have been made on the head and trunk separately. Dr. Lorenzo y Carmo's design was, if possible, to unite the head to the neck after decapitation. Thc heads of the two criminals fell within a few minutes of each other into thc same basket; first that of Carines, then that ofAveiro. Immediately alter this second execution com? pression was effected by a pupil of Or. Lorenzo on the carotid arteries of one of the heads so as to stop the hemorrhage. Thc body was then placed on a bcd already prepared, and Dr. Lorenzo stuck the head as exactly as possible on thc sec* tiou and kept it in that position. The cells ol n powerful electric pile were applied to the base ol' thc neck and on the breast. Under this intluence, as in former experiments, the respiratory move? ments were at once perceptible. As thc blood, Which penetrated in abundance through thc sur? face of thc s:\ir, threatened to stop the passage of air, Dr. Lorenzo had resource to tracheotomy. Respiration then ensued regularly. The head was fastened to the body by stitches ?ind by a special apparatus. Tiie physiologist wished to ascertain for how long a time this appearance of life could thus be artificia]ly maintained. His astonishment was great when he saw that at the end of two hours not only did rcspiralion still continue under thc intluence of the electric current, but that circula? tion had even resumed a certain regularity. The pulse beat feebly but sensibly. Thc experiment was continued without intermission. At the end of sixty-two hours it was evident to the astonish? ment or every one that a process of cicatrisation had commenced on the lips of the section. A lit? tle later signs of lire manifested themselves spon? taneously in thc heads and limbs till then de? prived of motion. At this moment, thc director of the prison arriving for the first time in thc ex? periment room, observed that by a singular mls take due to the lu?ste of the operation thc head of Carines liad l>ecn taken for that of Avciro, and had been applied lo the body o? thc latter. Thc experiment was continued notwithstanding. Three days later the respiratory movements re? produced" themselves and electricity was sup? pressed. Dr. Lorenzo y Carmo and his assistants were stupefied, frightened at a result so unex? pected, and at thc power of an agent which, in their hands, hurl restored life to a body whose right to exist thc law had forfeited. The learned surgeon, who had only had In view a simple physiological experiment, employ? ed all lils skill to continue this work, which science, aided against all expectation by nature, had so singularly commenced. He assisted the process of cicatrisation, which progressed under the most favorable conditions. By means of an cesophaglan probe, liquid nourishment was in? troduced into the stomach. At the end of about three months the cicatrisation was complete, and motion, though still difficult, became more and more extended. At length, at the end of seven months and a half, Avelro Cannes was able to rise and walk, feeling only a slight stiffness in the neck and a feebleness In the limbs. So ends this remarkable story. The Pall Mall Gazette says: "Who can tell the results of scien? tific investigation carried so far? In families natural defects may be remedied by readjusting heads and bodies not originally proportioned for each other, and human beings dissatisfied with their sex, may, under the benevolent system of Dr. Lorenzo y Carmo, repair the error of their origin. It will be a question for lawyers to de? termine to what nationality these future beings are to belong If head and body have previonsly owed a separate allegiance. Put if the system holds good in violent deaths, surely it may be applied to deaths ensuing, as the coroners' Juries have it, from natural causes. In this case, we might preserve our statesmen and celebrities for? ever. Opponents of the system would, however, be found in heirs-apparent." PERSONAL GOSSIP. - The meanest man lives in Chicago, and his name ls Price. He r.cc:dentally dropped his wallet containing $6500 in notes, at the St. James Hotel In Cincinnati. An honest bell-boy round it, and de? livered it to the clerk. When it was handed to Price he dropped lt into his pocket with a chuckle of delight, and, buttoning his coat, turned npon his heel without bestowing so much as a thank upon the honest boy. v -That wonderful man, thc late Bishop of Ex? eter, who died a few weeks ago, and seemed to belong to the active life of two centuries-for he had been a fellow of his college long before the union between England and Ireland-had the sulkiest ways of saying severe things. One day a somewhat eccentric clergyman visited the Bishop clad in the highly unorthodox costume of light fancy trowsers and a black neckcloth. The Bishop glanced with reproving eye at the trowsers, and then ob? served: "Not qittte a clerical garb, I think, my dear Mr. Dornton." "Well, my lord," replied the confused rector, "the fact is that my trowsers were of much darker hue, but repeated visits to the laundry have made them look lighter." "And," rejoined the Bishop, with an upward glance, "I suppose the color of the trowsers has run Into the neckcloth." The Bishop, however, was not always quite so mild as this. A croquet playing clergyman thought proper one day, when "Henry of Exeter" formed one of his congrega? tion, to say in the course of the communion ser? vice, "eat and drink their own oona>>lmat^on,,, whereupon the congregation was much startled by bearing the voice of the diocesan, indignant at this unorthodox exhortation, roar out, lo cor? rection, "damnation." -Calcraft ls no longer a mystery. He has de? scended among common mortals by "writing himself down;' in a letter with his own hand. Moreover, he has been prosecuted in a county court and his prosecutor received the verdict. It all came of a tavern bill which Calcraft, who drinks himself and treats his friends even when on business for the State, neglected to nay. The inn-keeper?was not daunted by his dread custo? mer, but forced a settling through the courts. Calcraft, however, was not seen In the business, but wrote an Indignant letter, which dispels the mystery of lils character as completely as If he had appeared In his own person before the curious pub? lic. In it he tells thc landlord that he is "a Shamed" of his meanness in sending a "piece of paper to pay the snm of Hs. which i never had half of it," there? by expressing a truly British detestation of over? charges. He further hints that the Inn-keeper is trying to "friten" him, adding that "1 was born too near awood to bc fritened by an Owl." His experience of thc operations of thc law, however, leads him to conclude, "thc Sheriff ought to have settled long ago ? have sent you tne Beastely bit of paper, as soon as convnant i will send you apost office order." It must add to the misery or the next gallows victim to know that he ls to be done to death by a fellow who talks and spells like that, Instead of by the impersonal, silent and myste? rious Calcraft, the model Jack Ketch. -Eugeniemade herself very popular at Con? stantinople. The streets through which she drove were thronged with women, whose fre? quent cheers were graciously acknowledged by her Majesty. At one point a Turkish lady ad? vanced and presented a petition to the Empress, praying, lt is said, her Intercession with the Sul? tan In behalf or the exiled young Turks now in Paris and London. The Empress received thc ministers and chief functionaries with the utmost kindness and had a word for each; asking news or the loan rrom Mr. Devaux: of the mines from M. Bcral, who was forced to admit that, though the buried wealth of Turkey ls great, it ls virtu? ally as yet unworked; of M. Ritter as to public works; and of Messrs. Baudouy and Crespin as to trade. Ear-shot gossip also reports that on land? ing ut Beglerbey her Majesty was heard to say to the Sultan that the magnificence of her recep? tion quite shamed her when she remembered how poorly, by comparison, he had been received in Paris, and added, with more regard to compli? ment than to ethnology, that Abdul Aziz was worthy of his great progenitor, Solomon. When her Majesty's caique touched Dolmakaktche stairs thc harem windows wercthrown up and a crowd of houris thronged every opening to gaze-sans yashmak, and brilliant In velvet and jewels-on the beautiful Fra ma impera Irizassny, as she landed from the barge. The Empress of the French before leaving Constantinople receiv? ed from the hands of the Sultan Valide the Insig? nia in diamonds of the Order of Osmaule Valide. Hitherto the only wearer of this decoration had been the mother of Abdul Aziz. -McCoole ls now in training for his fight with Allen. He sleeps on a good mattress, with plenty of warm covering, rises promptly at five o'clock in the morning, rain or shine, and immediately proceeds to a shed In the rear of thc lot, about ten by twelve, where li : exercises with thc dumb bell, a suspended Bund Lag weighing about four hundred pounds, cannon balls, and two heavy bags attached to cords running over a pulley. This exercise Ls continued for about half au hour, and is done to develop the muscle of thc arm, thc flesh on which now feels like buckskin stretched over marble. After this he wraps himself up as warm as possible and mutiles up his face so as to be hardly discernible, for the purpose of produc? ing profuse perspiration, and start* out for bis fonr-inile walk-two in and two out. Return? ing, he undergoes a salt-water bath and a pretty severe scrubbing and rubbing pro? cess: BOffldcnUv rough, indeed, to take th-* skin, on" almost any other man but him. After the bath he dresses warmly again and rests awhile, and then breakfasts moderately o.i beef or mutton, with trimmings-the meat, of course, always rare. His diet is substantial, and varies but little from that or a laboring man, al? though probably he docs not eat as much. After breakfast comes a rest of an hour or so, until l o'clock, when he dons his walking shoes, oath weighing about live pounds, and, accompanied by one or both of his trainers, and well munlcd up, he starts out on a walk of from thirteen to sixteen miles, and as a walkist he is a decided success. A day or so ago, when the Natural Bridge road, and indeed all the roads about the suburbs of thc city, were in a muddy, slippery condition, he walked fourteen miles in one hour and fifty minutes, loaded down as lie was with thc heaviest clothing, and said he felt so little fatigued that he could have repeated it in the same time. His powers of endurance arc aston? ishing. On his return from thc walk he enjoys a short rest, then eats supper, and a short time after supper comes another walk of two or three miles. He never ventures out after thc dampness or evening sets In, and Is in bcd promptly at s o'clock. These are his everyday exercises, rain or shine. -If Dr. Livingstone has really discovered that one of thc sources of the Nile rises ten de? grees south of thc equator, that river becomes the longest in thc world. The distance from such a southern latitude to Cairo ls about equal, In an air line, to the distance from the mouths of the Mississippi to Sitka, In Alaska, or to Upcruavik. in Greenland, or from thc isthmus or Panama to thc mouth of the St. Lawrence River. THE LATEST FE O M HYACINTHE. \ . - The Ex-Monk Define* hi? Views. The following letter from Father Hyacinthe to the reverend translator of his published ser? mons was read at the session of the Evangelical Alliance in New York on Thursday last : To Ree. Leonard IF. Bacon, Brooklyn : REVEREND SIR-I am as much gratified as sur? prised at thc honor you are disposed to do to the few discourses I have published in Europe. Some of them are actually the production of my pen, but these are very few, and relate to circum? stances of time and place which I fear will have no interest for American readers. The others, more Important In their subject, since they are part of the course of conferences instituted at Notre Dame by the Archbishop of Paris, are ex? tant only In detached parts, taken down hastily in shorthand, and the gaps tilled by an imperfect summary. I should have been glad, I acknowledge, if 1 could have brought to America something less unworthy of the sympathy with which I have been received herc, and which I shall alway reckon among the greatest honors and purest joys of my life. Such as they are, however, I commit these rude productions to thc indulgence of your readers, Frenchman and Catholic as I am, I present them, through your hands, to that great American re? public of which you are a citizen, to those nume? rous and nourishing Protestaut churches of which you are a minister. I am proud of my France, but I deem it one of its most solid glories to have contributed to the independence of this noble country, which it has never ceased to love, and which it shall some day laarn to imitate. A people with whom liberty is something else than a barren theory or a bloody practice; with whom the cause of labor ls never confounded with that of revolution, and never di? vorced from that of religion; and who. rearing under all forms and all denominations Its houses of prayer amid its houses of commerce and finance, crowns tts noisy and productive week with thc sweetness and majesty of its Lora's day. ..And on the seventh day it ends the work which it has done, and rests the seventh day from all its work which it has made." 1 remain faithful to my church, and If I have lifted up my protest against the excesses which dishonor it and seem bent on Its ruin, you may measure the intensity or my love for it by the bitterness of my lamentation. When He wno ls in all things our master and our example armed himself with thc scourge of cords against thc profanere of the Temple, His disciples remember? ed that lt was written, "The zeal of Thy house hath eaten mc up." 1 continue faithful to my church, but I am none the less sensible of the in? terest which will be taken in other churches in what I may say or do within the pale of Catholi? cism. Furthermore, I have never denied that the Christian communions separated from Rome were disinherited of the Holy Ghost, and with? out a part in thc Immense work of the pre? paration of the kingdom of God.. In my rela? tions with some of the most pious and the most learned of their members I have ex? perienced lo those depths or the soul, where illu? sion ls impossible, the unutterable blessing of the communion of saints. Whatever divides us ex? ternally In space and time vanishes like a dream before that which unites us within-the grace of thc same God, the blood of the same Christ, the hopes of the same eternity. Whatever our preju? dice, our alienations or our irritations, under the eye of God wluksccih what wc cannot see, under His hand whlcn leadcth us whither we would not f:o, we arc all laboring in common for the upbuild ng of that church of thc future which shall be thc church of the past m its original purity and beauty; but shall have besides the depth of its analysis, the breadth of its synthesis, the experi? ence of its toils, its struggles and its griefs through all these centuries. ? In the sad days of schism and captivity the word of thc Lerd came to the prophet Ezekiel, saying: "Thou son of man, take thee one stick and write upon lt, 'for Judah and for thc chljdren of Israel, his companions;' then take another stick and write upon it, 'For Joseph, the stick or Ephraim and all the house of Israel, his com? panions;' and join them one to another into one stick, and they shall become one in thy hand.' Ezekiel xxxvli, 10-17. To me likewise, who am thc least of Christians In those visions of the soul which are never refus cd to our devout aspirations, the Lord hath spoken. He has placed In my hands these twe sundered and withered branches-Rome nnd th( children of Israel who follow her; the churches ol thc Reformation und thc nations that are wttl them. I have pressed them together on mj heart, and under the outpouring of my tears am prayers I have so joined them that hencefortl they might make but one tree. But men hav< laughed to scorn my effort, seemingly so mad and have asked of me, as of that ancient seer 'Wilt thou not show us what thou meanest tn these tilings?" (Ezekiel xxxvli, 18.) And I looking upon that tree that seems still barren am mutilated, even now behold the brilliant flowei and the savory fruit. "One dod, one faith, one baptism."
