These Frenchmen conetitute the now vast army of Ireethinkers, which is being recruited. not only from tne ranks of the middle clasees, butalxo jrom those of the working classes in town and country. It was reported that the Bible Revision Com- mittee bad decided to omit, amony other pas- gages, those in St. John's_ Gospel which relate the story of the woman taken fn adulters, and of the angel troubling the pool. Last week’s (seerver atluded fo the reports as “very absurd etatements,” and said: * Nothing has yet been deaded uoon.” It will probably reguire two or threc vears. and perhaps a longer time, to com- nlcte the revieion. The O Testament Com- mittee bas just finished its first revision of the Book of Samuel, and the New the first revision of Revelation, intending this month to proceed with its final work on the Gospels. ‘I'he Lutherans are making great preparations for their sccond Free Dict, whichis to be held 3in St. Mark’s Chureh, Philadelphia, beginning be ith of November and continuing three Sixteen finportant subjects bave been lected, each of which is assigned to some one cwineut essayist. Two speakers are to follow euch essay, alter which time is to be allowed for general debate. The writer of the essay is to be aliowed to close the debate in each case. It is txpected that this Free Diet will bring Lu- therans to Philadelpnia from every part of the United States. Liberal provisions are bewg wade for the entertainment of Zuests. ‘Tbe statement has for years been made, vazuely and at random, that idols for the feathen are made at Birmingham and other vlaces fn England. It now takes definite shape in # German almanac, the * Christophorus der Stelzfuss Kalendar,” edited by one Fastor Haferman. The zood pastor, Who _circalates his almanac among the people of Gotha, says that *The_ fabrication of idols fs a flourishing branch of English commerce. These idols are cagerly recived by the heatlien, who pay well 1or thém, as they are more artistically formed han any they can produce.” The London Zec- ord takes the matter up in sound earnest, and gi “What opinion can be entertaived of the consistency or eincerity of those who are £0 emi- nent as tbe English for spreading Scripture trath, if with the one hand they subscribe thou- sands to send out Bibles and missionarics, and with the other they promote idolatry for the salie of worldly zain or Y:pulnmy 29 1f it can he proved that these idols are actually exported 10 the Lenighted heathey, it is a bad business and ought to be thoroushly shown up. Yet diligent search into the statisties of British ex- ports does not show any idols, invoiced as such. Tossibly they may be shipped under the nawme of “srorks of art.” It bas long been well known 1hzt Christian countries export to heathea ones vast quantities of stimulating beverages, which probably do the heathen asmuch hirm as the idols could, In mavy cases the very vessels Wi carry missionaries carry - alsg enough Tiquor to undo ail the good the missionaries are likely to do. CASTING OUT DEVILS. Joseph LutT,a Mormon missionzryst London, Ont., writes to the Saint's Herald as foilows: On Supday morning 1 listened to Bro. Cornith preaching to the Sainte, and in the cveninz I ureachea 102 good-sized congregation, having veen cailed upon by the Granch Presiden, Tro. Matta- sned.

This was wwitacseed UF 3 mixed congregation; the church wae nearly fall of people; but, whether this ocu- lar demonstration of the truth of the very subject 3 waspreaching on will ever influence théir minds in favor of the Goepel I know not, btt when I re- pented the words **InMy name they ehail cast ont deviis " after the aboveoccurrence 1 felt the donble assnrznce of its application to the Saints of latter dave being proper. Some have eince circalated a ruinor that the whole matter hadbeen prearrunged, ‘ot etill, **We speak that w= do know and testify 1hat we have seen.” Thelady isnot a member of the Charch, nor her husband either, and when eeized similarly before, had remained 6o for hours tometimes: at least, €0 we learn. ROMAX CATHOLIC PROGRESS. The Rey. Mousiznor de Haerne, of the Enclish College of Bruees, has prepared a statistical work on the proeress of Catholicism smons the propies of Auglo-Saxon origia, showing the nu- merical extension of the Roman Cathohie Church 1in tue British Emipire and the United Sthies of Aucrica. In 1857 the pumber of Roman Cath- olic places of worsnip in Epgland was 834, ad- ministered by 1.115 priests;.but in 1877 the number of places of Worship had jucreased to 515, admiuistered to by 2,088 priests. - Twenty- une years ago there were only 21religious houses for men in England, while last year the number was 133 07 couvents or other Telirious houses Tor wol existed in 1857, but in 1877 they had increased to 239, while the number of coileges and seminarics bad more than doubled within 1be sume period. the colonics of Great Britain the develosment of Cathoticism is thus In 1855 the number of Rowman Catholic scos existing in the colonies and deptndencies, including British America, Australia, India, and Indies, was 44 In 1876 the numbers d , there being then 88 Archbishons zud Lishops exercising their functions fn the same territories. Taking ten dioceses in Canadaas an illustration of the coionial propress of Catholicism, iz is found that so Jatc'as 1863 the 1te number of churches in those dioceses was 9, while in 1876 the incresse during seven Lad been 913, the Roman Catholicclersy in- ing iu numbers during the same period from to1,17]. Forthe sumeseven years the num- ber of relizious houses had risca from 73 to 196. ‘The educational wasts of a Catholic population v:ox‘x;dxrisiua 1,852,000 sou’s were ministered to by 3,139 parochial schools, being one school to each G0 of the population, an averaze somewhat ubove the proportion In Prassia, or, indevd, any n country. In tie year 1799 the tirst Cutholic Bisbopricin the United Stateswas established st Baltimore. Fourtcen years be- fore, in 1776, the year of Independence, there were oniy 25,000 Catholics in theStates under the sowritual guidance ot &5 priests. When the first ;al Sce was founded the number of icreymen was 34, Who were governcd hy a Viea wstalic, and ministered to a population of 30,000 Catholics, the total population of the States being at.the time nearly three millious &nd a quarter. Half a century later, 1340, the toizan _ Catholies numbered one nillion and a baf ot with 16_Bishops, 482 vriests, and 454 churches. In 1855 the Catholie Vorulation was about 200,000, but twenty-on Yeare la lops snd no less thau 5,358 priests, ‘o tr fn 5,046 charches and 8,711 ora tories und wissionary stations. 1n twenty-one years, from 185510 1871, the relizious bouses For menp bad increascd from 15 to 95, while trom ) ke conventual establishments had risen to In the year 1800 thiere was only one Roman Cathalic female academy fu the States: in 1576 rere were over 400, and at the same veriod the colleges devoted 1o Roman Catbolic teaching Lud riseu from 21064, Of the 56 Bishops, 30 arc of Irish birth or deseent. Monsiznor de Hearne, taking jnto accouut the large accession 1o the Roman Cattiolic population of the United States madc by German {mmigration, thinks that the extension of Catholicism in the Repub- Ticis mainly due to the Irish population. Ac- cording to "Dr. Browuson, nearly 4,000,000 irish 1olk had Ianded in the United States in cixhty years, and the Catholics of Irish birth or descent ai present fully number 4,000,000 people.

On entering a box, a witness had a Testament presented to him, but he declined to be sworn. On being asked the reasons for refusing, he naively replicd, “I'll teli alie wi’ any man Englabd, but I'll not swear to it.” A noted politician was so foud of being **dead- headed® everywhere that when some Of his frieuds were debating how to get him to attend church, one of them said, * Charge an ad- mission fee, and he'll be aftera pass before breakfast.” Prudent ministers will_make no pastoral cslls in the next few weeks.

A little girl bad been at a camp-meeting for two weeks. On her return home her little play- mate, Ells Day, entertained her by showing her her new playthings. At night, little Mary in her pravers said, O Lord, bless EHa Day and make ber a good eirl, so I'can take all her play- thicgs away frown her, and she won’t want thein back again.” A Bishop of the Church of Enzland not jong ago was visiting an Epis York, and the clerzyman directed the colored servant to awaken bim in_the mornipg by rap- ping_on_his door and saving: >y Lord; the bov.” The colored servant having knocked on the door in the morniug, delivered the message as follows: *“My Lord; my boy.” The Earl of Kellie was relating an account of asermon which he had beard in Italy, ju which the preacher described the allezed tiracle of St. Apnthony preaching to the fishes, aud in which his bearers were s0 much entranced that they sctually held their beads up ont of the water. “I can belicve the miracle,” said Henry Erskine, “if your Lordship was at church,”” »T was certainly there,” replied the Earl. * Then,” said Erskine, * there was at least one fish out of water.” One of the Secretaries of a Church Missionary Society, a distinguished man, was about to oreach to a colored congrezation, when be was introduced by the regular ministef of _the church, a biack man, inthese words; *Now den, bruddun, I'se beah to info’m you dat Brud- dah Blank is gwine to preach to you to-day.

HYDE Parx, Oct. 19.—[u your editorial of several weeks since, under the above title, men- tion is made of an article upon ‘the subject in the new yolume of the Encye'opedia Britannica, and of the theory of DeQuincey, that the Es- senes were identical with the early Christians. Some account was also given, in your editorial, of the ecariy practices of the Essencs, taken from the writings of ‘Josephus and of Philo Judieus. The subject is an instructive one, and, as you suggest, worthy the attention of scholars: and of thoughtiut men. The Therapeut of Egypt were, in many re- spects, similar to the Essenes, and bave been supposed by some writers to be the same. For justance, by Robert Taylor in his Diegesis. But there is no suflivient evidence they were the *same, though it is not improbable that they had a commou origin. Philo, who pives a full ac- count of both sects, nowbere speaks of them as the same; aud the fact that among the Therapeu- tie, women were permnitied to officiate and to act as 2 healing class, under the name of Therapeu- trie or Therapeutesses, would indicate that in some respects, at least, their customns were not the same. One of the most remarkable circumstances counceted with the Therapeute is that they had avcient books of a secred charucter, which Euscbius supposes were the same as the Gos- pels, and some other books of the New Testa- ment. 1t i8 difiicult to understand exactly what he means by this, since the books of the Thera- peutee, havinzbeen in their possession hundreds of yeats before'Christ, could not bave beea in all‘respects_the same as the books relating to Christ aud Bis Apostles. What be must mean is that the buoks of the Therapeuta formed the basis of the Gospels, etc., of the New Testu- ment. ‘I'his is what Eusebius says upon the subject: ¢But it is highly probable that the ancient commentaries which he (Philo) says they have are the very Gospels aud writings of the Apos- tles, and probably some. expositions of the an- clent prophets, such s are contained in the Epistle to the Hebrews and many others of St. Paul’s Episties.'—Eusebius, Ee. I1., Bk. 2, Ch. 17, Crutse's Trans., p. 56. As to the question discussed by DeQuincy the difficulty in determining it lies in the fact that Josephus and Philo, who give us. mast of our fuformation concerning the Essenes, are silent upon the subject. Pliy, it is true, says some- thing about the{Essenes, in his Nat. [fist., 5, 17, but the most, then, that we can know of them, is to be derived from the works of Josephus und Philo Judieus. ‘ Both of these writers arc_entirely silent as to the customs and habits of the carly Christians, Indeed, strangely cnough, Philo, who isthougnt to bave written about the middle of the First Centary, says nothing whatever abont_Christi- anity, while all there is to be found in Josephus is the account of the putting to death of John the Baptist and the disputed passage about Curist. We are therefore left to conjecture and infer- ence. But we are not without materials. In adaition to_the reasons wiven by DeQuiney, as stated in ‘TnE TRIBONE, it may be added that the Essenes bad elders and otheroflicers similar o thuse in the Chbristian Churches; also, that there is considerable evidence (see p. 4) to show that the early Christian Churches, like the or- ganizations of the Esscnes, were secret socle- ties. Origen, in his reply to Celsus, who, améhg other objections to Christianity, urged that the Christians met in eecret, and had sceret in- structions, did not deny the fact, but undertook to justify it. fle speaks of exoteric *and of esoteric teachings, the latter being given to more advanced - converts, “privately in tle nouse.’—Qrigen contra Ce'sus, p. 101. Again: Clement of Rome, in giving an ac- count of the conversion and baptism of his mother by Peter, says: “ She was then baptized in the sed, and, returning to the lodging, was ivitiated into all the mysteries of religion in their order.”— Kecognitions, Houk T, Chap. 33. When all these things are considered, e bave strong reason for helieving that the nucleus of the Christian Church previously existed in the order of the Essenes in Palestine and Jude: and that the Therapeut of Eeypr turnishe the zroundwork for the carly spread of Chris- tisnity in that country.

Tlhe carpet-moth makes his favorite home about the bindings and corners of the carpet. If this Is an ingrain or three-ply fabrie, success- ful war may be waged on him by wringing a cloth out of hot water, laying over the bindings and edges and ironing with as hot an iron as can be used without scorchinz. This will destroy both the moths and their ezgs, and after a few such visitations they disappear. But this steam- ivg and froning. process is not efectual with Wiltons, Moquettes, or any heavy carpetings. ‘The heat cannot thoroughly penutrate them, 4nd ironing injures the pile of the velvet. Still, it is best to draw the tacks occasionally and lay the edee of the carpet over—one. side only or a part of a side at a time—and steam and irou it on the wrong side. Then, ncsides this, the flours should be wiped as tar under as the arm will reach with a cloth wrung out of strony and hot Cayenne tea; and before renailing the bind- ing and edee of the carpet should also be wined with it, rubbing them hard.
