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 willfindrit' difficult to obftin 'any bile fill tfie wveantipktoes on the terms it Ijijpits ujeitpif that the removal wjjfi not end jyitli the bishops, that it will ex tend to the pastors of the churches, to ordinary priests. The services of the Church will cease here and there, and rof .course the churches remain practically closed. Should this con dition of affairs continue, candidates fcg orders, says our authority, will be come rarer, tW action of .-thp^iurcb rious queestion for the Empire wheth er its course toward the Chnrch may not alienate the hearts of a’ greater fiortibn of tire Bavarian people.

The following beautiful illustration one < )t the hig ;hcr courts.

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!

Good Aijric •• President, Porter, of Yale College, g&vjs the following advice to the stu dents of that, jggtjtution the other day: . - ‘ ‘Young men, you are the architects of your .o.w# fortunes; -Rely upOn your own strength ctf ihqd.y .an^ nonl. Take for vour star self-reliance, faith, .honesty- and, iudasby; j Inscribe on yonr flag ' 'Luck is a fool Pluck is a hero^” .Dph’-fc take tpe mncll advice- keep at your helm and steer your own ship, and remember tha* the’ great art of commanding is to take a fair share of the work, Dofii’t practiceJoo much humanity.

Put potatoes in youir'cart, over 4 rough road and small ones will go' to toward him, and looked confidingly up jn his face, with a calm, clear eye, and in a miinner so artless, and frank, that i wiih this, having taken the dead body 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 Commandments^ and vhea we kneeled dowa -.f.oge%e^ pyayed tl^it I might understand how wicked it was to bear false witness aganistmy neigk- ont, hn>.y. with full speed round to the other side of the house. 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.” —tbe-Ghnrch or the Imperial Govern ment.

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 Mario, and trie ladies of, Lima have named the priiria donna Patti.
