The imprisonment of Archbishop
Ledochowski by the German govern
ment, la accordance with the sentence
of a German Court, as announced in
the cable dispatches, tells us how vio
lent is the conflict between the new em
pire and the old Church. Until re
minded of it by some such act, we are
apt to think of it as little more than a
harmless skirmish of words between
priests and princes. Still the battle
is an earnest one; much more so than
we on this side of the Atlantic cap re
alize. We live the modern life. The
■'resh' blood of the world courses
through our young institutions. The
New lives in our biMs ,of right, ip our
National and State Constitutions. It
is incorporated in our press, our lit
erature, in par laws. We are tied to
the middle ages by no traditions, by
no principle, by no predjndice. We
are as venturesome in the domain of
politics, of morals, of law, and of re
ligion, as of commerce. We take our
chances wherever the probability of
improvement is great, give »p the old
jipd abide bythe. consequences. There
are, it jus true, minor forces at work all
over the coup try in.an Opposite direc
tion to this, but modern ideas are here
in the ascendency. Cider forms or
creeds, though' respected and pib-
tect-ed, have here no prescriptive
rights. It is n ot so in Europe. There
the old combats with the new, the
middle ages with the modern thought,
the unchangeable (Jliurch with the
.changeable and progressive State.—
That Cbiuveli which .has done so much
for civilization, which struggled with
the Yandakatd the^o.th,, now .com
bats the modern State, which would
disregard what it claims to be its in
alienable rights with as much vigor as
it once did the barbarians who over
ran the Roman Emdire. The conflict
between the modern State and the
Church is raging dll oyer Europe—ex
cept France—in Italy, in Spain, iu
Austria, in Switzerland, in the Ger
man Empire. Germany has refused
to accept Count Cavour’s celebrated
policy—“the free Church in the
fete”- -and claims the right to legis
late foy hh e Church as It does—and al
most to the extent that it does for its
army. Germany has 14,000,000 who
acknowledge.spiritual allegiance to the
Catholic Church, a little more than
one-third of her whole population.—
Whether or not Bismarck has acted
the part of a wise statesman in going
tothe length he has in his interfer
ence with the Church, the future will
decide! but whether he has or not, he
bad go^te too far to withdraw from the
contest now. The battle has devel
oped itself to suefr-dm extent that com
promise is*. impessible, and retreat or!
truce would be defeat-
The future .course of this politico-
ecclesiastical qwes&on lias already been
prognosticated. What Gkripany has
done points to what she will do. The
future can only be the continuation of
the past. The Catholic Bishops of
Germany ,w-ill not accept the ^condi
tions on which alone the Government
will permit them to hold their seats.
One of the most influential papers of
the Empire be^an thd new year by
prophesying that before long every
Bishop in Prussia, at least, and prob
ably in other parts of Germany, will
have been deposed by the Imperial
Governn^fe'tha^ the Govern me# t

TheConfedcrate Armyi
The forces and losses of the Con
federate Army, were the first contrib
ution to history from the Southern
Historical Society.
In the November nnmber of. “The
Land we Love,” 1873, an interesting
and important correspondence “was
published -between Dr. Joseph Jones
Secretary of the Historical Society
and Gen. S. Cooper, ex-Adjutant Gen.
of the Confederate States. From
that source we glean the following
facts for the benefit of those who are
not so fortunate as to have preserved
a file of those valuable magazines.
Such facts are startling even to
those who participated in the South
ern struggle:
1. The available force of the Con
federate army, did not, during the
war* exceed 600,000 men!
■f 2.; T;he Confederate States never had
in tlieir defence more than 200,000'
men in tlie field at one time !
3. From 1861 to 1S65 the Confeder
ate forces actively engaged were only
600,000.
4. The total number of deaths were
200,000.
.3..' Losses o f 'prisoners counted as
total tosses on account of U. S. policy
of exchange 200.000.
<6. The loss of Confederate Stalg§
Army by discharge, disability and.de-
sertion 100,000.
7. At the dose of the war the force
of the Confederate ariny waedess -fhan
100,000.
9. Out of 000,000 men £00,000 were
lost to the service.
These facts are taken from calcula-
.tj.ons made with great care by \Dr - Jo
seph Jones, submitted to aiid approved
by General Coop>er, Adj utant Genelyl
of the ConfederateFrojn them
we deduce two facts; at the Close of
tlii war the Federal, forces numbered
ode million; the Confederates only
one hundred thousand! Ho v sad and
eloqnent a difference! eloquent of dis
advantage, determination, devotion

President, Porter, of Yale College,
g&vjs the following advice to the stu
dents of that, jggtjtution the other

Notions Abont tlie Bead.
In a Russian tale a grand-mother
says to her grand-danghter, who is
threatened by a fiend:
“Oh dear me, my poor, unhappy
child! - Gq:qniddy to the priest, and
ask him this favor, .that if yon die,
yonr body shall not be taken ont of the
boose by the doorway, b n t
that the ground shall be dug away
from the threshold, and that yon shall
be dragged ont thcough the opening.”
This was originally the. common
mode of proceeding among-the va
rious nations. They thought the spir
it could only return by the same way
it went out of the house, and in order
to prevent its return, |hey took, the
dead through an opening that be af
terwards stopped up.
The Tioki of Alaska always carry out
their dead .through an opening in the
back oi.the hut, and fcben close up
the bo : e.wilh. ;ue greatest cure. Tire
Ho^encots break an opening tlirough
the side of their huts for the same pur
pose, and the Siamese, not content
-it;went straight to tlie heart.
“Did you ever take the oath?” in
quired the Judge. The little girl
.Stepped back with a look of horror,
and the red blood mantled in a blush
all over bpr f^ce and she answered,
“No, sir.”
She thought he intended to inquire
if she had ever blasphemed.
“I do not mean, that,” said tlie
Judge, who saw her mistake, “I mean
were you ever a witness?”
, “No, sir, I never was in court be
fore,” was the answer.
He handed her the open Bible.
“Do you know that book,my daugh-
tei-5
She looked lit it and answered,
sir, it is the-Bible,’’
“Do yon ever read it?” he asjted.
“Yes, sir, every eveuiug ”
“Can you tell, me what the Bible is?’
qhived- the-Judge, k -t- ' v
“j.t is the word of the great God,”
she answered.
“Wei 1 , place yonr k?,aJ upon this
E'ble and Hs.ea to what I say,” and
he repeated slowly and solemnly the
oath usually administered to witnesses.
“Now,” said the Judge, “you have
sworn sis a witness. Will you tell me
what will befall you if you do not te-l
tire i :uih?”
“I shall be shut up iu tlie Slate’s
Frisoh,” answered the' child.
“Anything else?” ased the Judge.
“I shall.never go ,to. heaven,”. she
replied.
“How do you know this?” asked the
Judge again.
The child took the Bible and turn
ing rapidly to the chapter containing
the commandments, pointed tb the in
junction, ‘‘Thou shalt. not bear false
witness against their . neighbor,”" “I
learned that before I could read.
“Has any one talked with you about
your being a wituess in the court
here against thm man?” inquired the
Judge.
“Yes, sir, ” slie replied. “My mother
heard they wanted me to be a wituess
and last uight she iCabed me to her
room, and asked me to tell her the Ten

Another strange custom in Russia
is Ur's: When a person suffers a very
lingering death, in order to render his
departure more easy, let a black dog
down by a cord through the roof on
the dying man’s herd. They regard
a black dog as an emblem of the hu
man spirit, and their action is intend
ed to show the departing spirit which
way to go.
The Chinese an<J North American
Indians have also the idea that the
spirit always leaves through the roof,
supposing that the life must depart in
the same way that it came—from
above. -
In ancient Rome a person whp had
been believed to be dead could only
be permitted to re-enter his house
through the roof. In Germany the
general belief is that the soul depart^
through the window. When a person
dies the window of the room is at once
thrown open, and sometimes a cup of
water is placed on the sill for the re
freshment of tliegpjyit as it enters up
on its “long journey.”

An Onithological Opera Troup.
An extra ordinary public enter
tainment has been produced ia Lime
Pern, by an Italian qaqteljl Contarini,
who proposes to carry his exhibition
to Europe. He lias taught and train
ed. by dint of great patience and per
severance, an opera of thirty parrots
a ad parroquets, who perform two of
Eel 1 'si's operas, “Norma” and “Som-
$ambnla,” on a mania'cure stage, with
full chorus and recitative. The direc
tory aDd manager accompanies the ar
tists on a piano-harmonium, and the
perfection with which each bird sings
his part arid the excellence of the
chorus are prodr'gious.
The debut of this lyrico-onirholog>-
eal ( company in “Norma” was attended
iby khe weaRR and fashion of Lima.
When the paroqnet that sang the con
tralto'finished'trie allegro in the “Sal
utation tothe Moon,” such was the
enthusiasm, the shout and applause at
hearing a bird sing the “Gasti Diva,
tjriat ,the blyd company affrighted took
flight and sought refuge among the
side scenes. This in terrupted ihe per
formance for a quarter of an hour,
and §ignor (^ontiaiino hid to tranquil-
ize the “art’sts” by giving them bread
soaked in wine.
Thenceforth the expression of ap
probation were moderated in order
nbt to spoil the play. It appears that
the bird artists have now become ac
customed tothe applause. The cor
rectness arid propriety with Which they
give certain parts of the opera are
'vonderful. The piano tenor possesses
all the airs and graces of the school of
