To the Editor of the Cleteland Leader: 1 find the following suggestive article in the current number of the American Watchman : A REMINISCENCE OF POPE PIUS NINTIL A very able ana reliable writer in 1S3 wrote: Pius1X. fled from IZome in November, 1818, In February, 1849, the Repuvlic was set up. Eight or ten days after, with ten or twenty of my com- pamons, Iwent to see if the Ingquisition had any ocenpants. We found the Commissary-General, his Secretary, Chancellors, and joilers. 1 asked one of the jailers if there were any prisoners in the cells. According to the laws of the Inquisition fic was not at liberty to give un honest auswer, but rhrugged his shoulders, which meant there are Plenty. My compauions were for at once exagiia- ing the ceils and dunzeons, and for compelling the ‘atiers to open the pates. I begued them to Qevist and inform the Government The Government being informed sent and exam- ‘ned. found many, and liberated them. Among_these was Bishop Cashur, of Cairo, rho Lad been twenty-five years n his dungeon. After being delivered froni the prison he was car- xied about the streets of Rome in t.ivmpb. Anoth- «r, 2 monk of almost G) yearsof aze, W nca in the Convent of ~ Frauciscans, ‘Convent of Araceoli. For twelve years he had heen Immured in that borrible hole. “This man was 2 natire of South America; he somehow succeed- fd on liesring that the Republic proclaimed, in getting word to the nal Assembly that he 2% in this pricon. A deputition was at once sent the Father Abbott ktrenuously denied it, and re- fueed them admittance. They thrcatened him and compelled him 10 opep the door 1o the monk s cell. There they found the monk. Ile was almost re- duced to blincacss, was scarcely able to stand.and he bad to be eupported to retalonz, e was ‘brouzht before the National Assemtly. ~ All Rome knows of it. All came anxious to know for what ‘cause he was there, His answer was, **T have not, 1hie remotest idea why I was for twelve vears kept in that dangeon, and I had always settled in my mind_and wasat peace with myself, never havin 1he slizhtest hope of secins the daylizht azain. 1ic turned and thanked them ove after another, for it was 1o them he owed his life. A collestion was made for him and he was enabled to return toSonth America. The mar under whom euch atrocious cruelties were practiced is the Pope whose afability and amiability is so lsuded in Romanist papers. To 1his day ans Roman Catlioliz ecclesiastic lower in dicnity than Cardinal can be ordered io Rome to report himaclf, and lie must 20, aud once tnere he is subject to be thrown info' some ccclesiastical dunzeon and kept there until he dies. Al inquiry may be stifled by a report.of his death, und at the threshold of the Papal prison the civil law stops. ‘This brings to mind an almost forgotten cir- cumstance, which will interest the old citizens of Detroit. In 1838, Bishop Rese, Bishop of the Diocese of thal city, was ordered by the head of his Church, Pope Giregory, to present him- self at the Papal Court and answer to the charge of having favored a liberal svstem of evangelical theolozy, and from that day the Bishop disappeared, aud has never been heard of sitice. In 1334 a letter was published by oue who had returned from Rome, to the efect that Bishop #ese had been arrested by the Papal au- thorities and confined in the Inquisition for an offense committed in this country—namely, of having imbibed more liberal theologieal ideas than were allowed by the Church. Thecommun- ication called on our Goverment to demand of the Pope, who was then King of the States of the Church, the release of tl Bishop, on the cround of his beine an Amel can citizen, that the ofense charzed awainst ‘it was no civil crime, and that the oense was commmitted in this country. Thisletter wasgen- erally copied ad created some attention at the time, 10 such an extent that some of the heads of the Church, apperently much slarmed at the gravity of the 3“1‘5[&:", came out in the papers and annouuced that Bishup Rese, not being aturalized, was beyond the pale cf the protee- tion of our Government, and furthermore, tlat Bishop Rese never was sent to the ngulsition, Lut was ordered to report himself to a certain mouastery, dnd remain there umtil further or- ders, ce this explanation was publistied by the Church authorities. 1o calm the excitemeut cansed by the report. of the Bishoo' incarcera- tion in theé Inquisition. thematter seems to have been dropped, and no furthermention was made of the case, . Now can any one in Detroit tell what became of Bisbop Rese? What has been his history since he left Detroit in 18357 Hasnot the story been received that the Bishop retired to 2 mon- astery near Rome and died there! And bow do e know but that that story was made up upon the principle * that. the end sanctifies the means when:the interest of the Church is at stake,™ in order to account for the mysterious disappear- unce of the Bishop? Ifow do we krow but the Bishop may have been shut in the Inquisition ome hike those who were released a5 de- Cl 1in the forezoing article which we have quoted? We trust some one who is posted may De able to solve the mystery hanging over the disuppesrance of Bishov Rése. It may be true —tire story of his baving voluntarily, in accord- ance with s oath to_obey his supcrior, retired 10 a_monastery, and died there—but people would prefer some viher authorities than those who coutrofled and managed that Inquisitio I trust that some of your Detroit conteniporaries may be able to auswer these querics. HAMMOND’S METHOD. THE VIDOCQ STSTEM IN MAKING CONVERTS. St. Louis Repnblican. The Rev. Edward Payson Hammond, the - well-known evangelist, has just conduded a spiritual campaien of five or six weeks’ dura- tion fu Youkers, N. Y., and departed for a wider fleld of labor in Virginiz. A few days before his departure be was interviewed by a repre- gentative of the New York Worid. to whom he gave some interesting and valuable information to his com- the boy listeners, one of whom s paunion: Yer see that fellow, Billy? That's George New- man; he's been in jail more times 'n you and me 7)1 never be, an’ he's gota new suit of ¢l othes given him by the parson. Mr. Newman was soon called apon to *come up bigher,” Which be did, and jmmediately took an active part in the rfu:rformmn:r:. o He made a novel address, which to the sensitive mind of the reporter, who by invitation had also Cclimbed into the carriage, mizht have been consid- ered to border upon actusl blasphemy had not AMr. Tiammond :frequendly reassured him, by mild pokes inthe ribs, that it was everything that could bedesired, **That's the way toreach them, &nid the evangelist to the reporter, as Newmsn an- nounced that **Jesus would make them laugh out of the other side of their months. ™ **Now, New- man,* he said. **tell them about when you d 10 be drunk and wicked.” The young man was nothing loth, and gave n recital of his intoxicated rambles about the streets of Yonl , to the alter- nate astonishment and delight of the open-mouth- ©d, cager-eyed crowd of suall ehildren that pressed around the carriage. **Let's have the steamboat Tan, " presently eaid a voice, and In response 10 this demand Mr. Hammond invited a_red-cheeked young man into the carriage, who with consider- able tprightliness told of his former rakish life ‘when he frequented the *games™ and evil places of the city. From the public square the party proceeded 0 a church, in which there was * standing room only,” and not mygh of that. Alr. Hammond couducted the exercises, which iwere of a vale- dictory character, and during his sermon stop- ped short tosay: 4 I have written a pretty lit- tle hymn, which I should like you to'join me in singing;"” and then led off with the following, set'to the familiar tune, **0ld Gritaes is Dead " Go on, o on, £o on, go on, Go on, go on, o on, Go on, go on, g0 on, g0 on, Go on, o on, g0 on. This brilliant devotional lyric tomched the sympathies of the audience 'so closely that it was twice repeated. We are inclined to think that In no other aze, and certainly in no other country, could such appliances as these accomplish the wonderful results which Mr. Hammond says they do. And if Hummond’s method is the right method by which to promulirate and_enforce the savinis truths of Christianity, how much had Jesus, and Paul, and Peter to learn! GENERAL NEWS. Signor Minghetti, the Iraiian Minister, has written a pamphlet favoring the separation of the Church from the State. The Boston Herald says that the attempt to revive relizions meetings at the Tabernacle in that city has proved a failure. In consequence of the appearance of a éircus at Lexington, Va., recently, one of the colored Baptist churches was almost broken up. Fifty members were expelled tor attending the show. The Congregational Assembly of California, recestly in session at Sacramento, passed strong resolutions agaiust Chincse immigration, aud demanding a modification of the Burlingame treaty to that end. Archbishep Purcell recommends the establish- ment in the Archdiocese of Cincinnatiof schools for Catholie colored children, to serve as churches for adults also. A society has been established in Cincinnati, under the patronage of Blessed Peter Claver, to aid this object. The prosecution of Prof. Robertson Smith, of Aberdeen. Scotland, on trial for heresy, will be conducted by alavinan. The charge is a denial of the fuspiration of the Bible. in the sense held by the Chureh. The Rev. Fergus Ferzuson, o1 Glasgow, a minister of the Umted Presbyterian Chureh, will be tried soun for his avowal of dis belief in Calvinism, as set forth in the subordi- nate doctrinal standards. The union proposed between the two Jewish representative church boards in this country, the Board of Detegates and the Union of Amer- jean Hebrew Consrewations, s in a fair way to be seenred.

The con- solidation will mark an importaut ersin the history of Juadism in this country.

STRAW-COLORED PIETY. A vouthful clergyman, who recently went forth to enlighten the iznorant, whilst dealing with the parable of the prodigal son, was anx- ious to show how dearly the parent loved the child. Drawing himself tozether, and puttin: on his most sober looks, hie dilated on the kil ing of the fatted ealf. The climax was us fol- ows: I thouldn't wonder if the father had Xept that calf for years, awaiting the return of g son.”” * One day a profane darkey with a weakness for praying when the fit cama on him, kneit behind 2 small hay-stack, and prayed: * Lord a miercy if I’'ve done anytning wrong to-day, take up 2 Vbig stone and hit me on the head.”” A boy hap- pened to be on the opposite side of the stack, and hearing Pete’s words, threw a rock over on the darkes’s knowledee-box. Pete jumped up, and, scratching his pate, exclaimed: * Look a here, Lord, can't dis nizger say anvthing in fun without you taking it in carnest?” A theolomical student, who ventured out froman Ohio college recently to preachina little village near Cleveland, preached a sermon on the mystical importance of the number 3: three kinds of life—mineral, vezetable, and animal; Noah had three sous; faith. repentance, and baptism, three things necessary. to salva- tion, ete. After the service, an aged deacon approachied him ond sald: ~ *Really, your dis- course wasone of the most mgenious I ever listened to. I was sorry that you did not carry your llustration in regard to that wonderfu uumber just a little further. For instance, there are” three -aisles running through this nouse; there are three lamps in the chandelier hanging yonder: three books lie upon the pul- pit; there are threelink-spots on this tabje; and, Dbetter than all, I noticed three colored men in the gallery.” CHURCII SERVICES. - DAPTIST.

The London Touchstone, a new theatrical journal, is responsible for the following story in connection with the repricve of the Staunton brothers, who iad been sentenced to death for the Penze murder: + On the Sunday preceding the Tuesday, the day fixed for the exceution of the Stauntons, the mother of the two men traveled alonc to Balmoral in order to obtain an interview with the Queen, and beseech clemency for her wretched sons. On - reaching Ballater, after leaving Aberdeen, thé lost station, somc welyé miles from Balmoral, the poor woman sousht some conveyance to take her the re- mainder of the journey. othing could be obtained, and | the People, on hearing the melancholy mission of the unfortunate moth- o, showed their sympathy by obtainiug for hor a scat on the mail-vag in the little eart, which eontained only one seat for the driver. The mail-bag was thrown into the cart, and the poor woman was _allowed to seat herself upon it. So she traveled through tie cold and dismal night the twelve dreary miles to DBalmor- al. On reaching the castle the next and for- midable ditlicuity that met her was obtaming an audience of the Queen. After explaining the object of her journey to the attendants, she at last obtained an interview with Sir Thomas Biddulph, who, after patiently iistening to what shio had 1o sav, promised o let the Queen im- mediately know the object of her being at the castle. With little délav the Queen, setting aside all etiqueste and formality, entered the apartment in which Mrs. Staunton w: s seated, and with a true sovereign’s and woman's . heart fistened to the appeal and humble prayerof one subjects in her deep distress. The poor Yetitioucr praged for mercy, and that the [ of her children might be spared. The Queen, 1o doubt with aching heart, conld only ex- plain that shewas entirelyin the hauds of her responsible Mimster. The painful inter- view ended, the petitioner, grateful for the ondescension and sympathy of her sovereizn, gought how te return to Buallater, heart-broken that the last hope of saving her wretched sons had tailed her. The servants inquired how she intended getting back the tweive miles to Balla- ter. ‘There was no conveyance, and they plain- 1y saw the poor woman was_quite incapable of alking the distance. Azain the ‘Queen was fuformed of the circumstances; and, with that consideration 8o characteristic of her nature, she ordered timt one of her earriages should be wot ready to take Mrs. Staunton bacl carcely bad ths poor mother leit the castle, when the mail-var contatnine her Majesty’s letters and dispatchies was opened, and, to the gratifi- cation and refief of the Queen, the Home Scere- tary’s dispatch recommending the reprieve was among the number. The lonely mother went on her way back, worn out and dejected. With that instinct of kindness and charitable feeling, the Queen at once instructed a spedial mes- sengur to proceed ou horseback and take_the giad tidings to her sister in sorrow. ~Such ddeeds require no comment, but raise the _mon- arch to the bighest eminence. Mrs. Staun- ton, on reachinz Ballater, was instantly in- formed of the glad tidings, and that the mail- Dags on which she had sat with a bleeding heart ined the reprieve which she had traveled any miles to obtain. Such is a simple ac- count of an episode in -the life of the Queen, well harmonizing with all that her subjects al- ready know of her.” PARIS NEWSPAPER WIT. New York World.

From my observatory I could see through the whole breadth of the plate-glass windows of the Cat, and seareely a yard of the ample space before the var, provided by five compartments, was hidden from me. There had not been much doing at that cstablishment as yet; but decks were cleared £ tion. and the crew of museular_barmen were evidently prepared for action. There were four of them, strong and heasty, 1cllows in their shirt-sleeves, vhich were volled back above their elbow ad with white aprows, but with neithes shirt-collur nor neckerchief, the object evident- 1y being to avoid any superfluous incumbrance that wizht impede free action when the time for displayitis it errived. Mr. Chowler, the pro- prictor, present, but he wore his elossy hat and his black coat, and his frilled s th the emerald studs, and lounged nealizently at the door ot the vprivate bar, smoking a cigar in a maner admirsdly adapted for the display of the two larre diamond _rings with which his short and chubby little finzer was adorned.

P BURNABY’S RIDE. Capt. Burnaby’s new work, ‘On Horseback Through Asia Minor,” contains some intere: ing coisodes of travel. The difficulty of his journey increased as he procecded castward. The almost impassable rivers of mud in the plains were bad enough, and the upsetting of horses and bagzage on such roads must have tried tho paticnce as well as the resources of the most enduring traveler. In Armenia, how- over, this was replaced by snow and ice, and at one point the whole party were oblized to slide on horseback down a glacier. The guide went first: % And now I prepared to make the descent. T+, was not an agreeable sensation. Iwas.onthe cdze of the precipice. The yelling Mohammed was castizating my anis from behind. I feit very much lik¢ Mr. Winkle, as deseribed in the ¢Pickwick Papers,” the first time he was on skates. I would have gladly given Mobammea five sbillings or a new coat to desist from the flagellating precess. However, the die was cast. My followers were lookine on. . What the eeide had done it was very clear that an Englishman ought to do. I committed myselt to Provi- defice. Away we went. The stcam rounda- bouts In the Champs Elysees In Paris revolve at a great pace; a slide down the artificial fce-hitls in Sr. Petersburg will sometimes try n man's nerves; but the sensations experienced 'fn these manrers of locomotion are nothing to what I felt when shiding down that glacier.” Was I on my lorse or was noi? Now we were waltzing madly down- _ the slippery surface, and then my ‘boots were touching the ice itsclf, owing to my ani- mal’s position. One momecut we ricochetted {rom a rough picce of hard substance, and were flying in the air, as if jumping the W hisscndine Brook; & second later we were buried, as the uide had been, in six fect of suow. Next came the turn of my followers. Their descent wasa fearful thing to witness, but fumlu‘.\lcl)' not, half so dangerous as it appeared. With the ex- ception of some damage to the luggage and sad- alery, there was littio harm doue. ¢ Inever thousht as how a horse could skate, sir, before!” Femarked my English servant, as_he slowly ex- tricated himself from the suow-drift. ‘It was more than sliding, that it was—a cutting of fiz- ures of cight ali down the roof of a house!

Mohammed will have something to pray about if he has to go down any more of these bhills. for mothing but Providence can save 2 man’s neck in there here parts.” 7 A TURKISH RAIN Constantinopie Corresprudence New York Tribun Saturday the oldest inhabitants of the city were brought to ngught by the vain effort to re- call another such rain as descended upon us. The streets were flooded from curb to curb, and in many places the sidewalks also. were under water. Iwas obliged to wade in a roaring tor- rent more than knee-deep in one of the great thorouzhfares. Lines were stretehed along the streets to cnable people to keep their feet. Carriazes could not stem the tide, for great of stonecame roaring down the hills and hed their wheels. Two men were carried ay and drowned in the street. Many small houses were also swept away. There is, how- ever, this compensation, that the street doss were carried off tov. The storm lasted for fi or six hours, and in the evening the gas-works suddenly went down. and Pera and Galata were left in darkness. Houses here commonly use candles or petroleum, but the streets and the shops are lighted with @as, and in_the Sultan’s palucethere fs nothingbut as. Hence t den destruction of the gasometer produc wildest panic within the sacred precinets. 2 plot, an insurrection, 3 Russian attack micht ail have produced less fear than did this wild riot of the waters. Picture the scene. Five hundred women screaming in sheer junorance of what was to take place; 500 men, eunuchs, servants, and staff-officers of e deerce, each making a different sug- gestion 18 to the cause of the sudden darknes: ¥nd in the midst of all this uproar, the poor maiesty of the Sultan could not command a lizht that he might know what steaithy danger threatened. Outside was the roar of waters dashing against the doors of the palace, the chouts_ of sailors whose ships were dracging their anchors, the hiss of escaping steam, and nearer the rapid shouts of command as the puard turned out to resist whatever might come. After half an hour or more lights were obtained, and men and women began to crawl out from under beds and from the darkest depths of dark cupboards. But the most un- casy head in this city was in that great palace that night. BARRIERE. Barriere, the French dramatist, who died a few weeks ago, ouce met a pretty actress whose protector had deserted her, and, opening the door of her coupe, did all that was in his power to console the unhappy woman, who was sob- bing in a corner of the seat. But she would not be comforted. * No, no,” she eried, 1 can never smile again. 1 must drown myself.” “Very well,” said Barriere, calmly shuttine the door; “we shail meet at the Morgue. Coach- man, drive this lady to the river.”” Ang yet Barriere meditated suicide himself once ‘upon a time, had his pistol loaded, and led in n_friend to reccive his dying wishes. Tue fricnd did not attempt to dissuade him, but calmly jotted down bis dying wishes; while Barriere was writing a farewell letter. took up a pistol and began examining it. It was cocked, and the muzzle was nointing di- reetly at Barriere. ‘The intending suicide duc ed under the table with remarkabie agility, ery- fug, »Look oat! The d—d thing is loaded!
