I most confess that ttiy knowledge
of the Catacombs around Borne was
very limited.. I-1 never liked caverns
of uny kind, much less those that have
been converted into btt rial places.
We had not crone far in the disma
chambers oi the Catacombs, until al
traces of the entrance was lost sight
of, ' We now began to wander hither
and thither: .the flickering lights from
the tapers made things look even more
ghastly than ever. We jrero, in the
meantime, bicathing the heavy dead
airy with unmlstakeable evidences that
ail the Christians jhterrodbere were
not fedicea4oier . 'OmK,yn
r - jl n earroanorca on every side
by martyrs graves. These dark damp
recesses consist of a serie3 of irregu
lar windings, generally ; arranged in
three stories. f As ! we were Ted up and
down these narrow winding streets
through the dead, over pools of water
that are never dried by the rays of
the sun. we could not tell whether we
were ten twenty or thirty feet under
1 " 11. a
ground ; occasionally we passed en
larged chambers which serve as chap
els. On enquiring the extent of the
catacombs, we were told they were
some thirty miles in length, and formed
a chain of labyrinths sixty miles in
circumference. As wo did not care to
go this long journey or to remain in
this humid atmosphere, I requested
the guide to take us out at the near
est opening jwe wanted to see day-
ngni aua ureaioe a ainerent air. . we
wandered an hour or more in these dis
mal damp galleries. The niches on
each side of us were filled with the
mouldering dust of the martyrs : we
also saw several I marble cofJAns, in
which were deposited the remains of
the deceased, having tho appearanco
or embalmed majmciies. . :
In these subterraneous passages the
Christians in the first and second cen
turies sought refuge from their cruel
oppressors. They were hunted down
like wild beasts and tortured, stran
gled and burnt. The poor creatures
were not safe even in these dark, dis
mal places of refuge. When discov
ered they were walled in by their' sav
age persecutors, and thns perished by
slow starvation.. The martvrdom of
the Christians became so frequent that
even tue nttie cniiurcn ran screaming
to tho 'persecutors "We are Chris
tians, we are (jiiriatianw r in at w

that those samoyneple-who. were
rcadv to iror: death lr their re
ligion allerwarus Jbecame as cruel
in their tortnres as were the hea
then pagans? Batman in the gen -crate
or regenerate state is the most
incomprehensible of all created beings.
One, three, or six thousand years
seems not to have changed bis nature;
he possesses the same spirit of selfish
ness and vindictivenesa now that he
did before the flood. We look at the
nations of the earth and note their rise
and fall. Each nation has on the
world's great theatre a part to play,
and when that is accomplished, like
the silk worm it winds itself op in its
own tomb and perishes. What do we
see left of the great empire and popu
lous cities that we read of from the
book of Genesis to Revelations? They
are marked by decay and ruin, and
all attempts to establish them have
failed. Butthe bright 6tar of Bethle
hem did not perisliwith those empires.
It is as brilliant thisjflay, as when seen

But to return to the Catacombs. As
1 6aid. they were originally the hidden
places of Christians, in consequence of
a Roman law whicft lorbid even the
nshes of the dead to be interred in the
city, the quarries became not only
cemeteries, but places for worship,
where martyrs went boldly to 1 the
stake for thetr christian faith. These
immense subtorraneons passages Wcro
made by the manufacturers of cement.
They discovered in the environs of
Rome substance called Puszolana,
which When mingled with lime, made
the celebrated Roman Cement. The
Christians, nnlike the Pagans, were op
posed to burning ,he dead. The quar
ries afforded a convenient and cheap
place lor interment, j
In tho fourth century the triumphs
of Christianity over Paganism , under
Constantino, put an end to the reli
gious persecutions, and peace was" re
stored to the Church and protection to
the cemeteries, j The catacombs ex
tend around the city in a wide circle.
For many ages they were inaccessible
as they have not been used for burial
places in fifteen centuries; the one we
visited to-day was only opened pome
thirty years ago.. Although these
cemeteries are of the highest interest
to us oma.ccount of their associations
with Christianity in its sufferings and
tn its infancy, yet1 1 do not regard
them as suitable places to explore T es
pecially during the iSiim mer months
We were glad once more to see day

Prom the report of the Agricultural
Department it is represented that the
corn crop is favorable, except in Ohio;
wheat reports less favorable, except in
Ohio. Taking 100 as tbe average.
the condition stands: Virgina, 79;
North Carolina, 59; Sonth Carolina,
53-; Georgia, 52; Alabama, G5j Misis
Rtppi, 94; Texas. 84; Arkansas, 70;
Tennessee, 79; West Virginia, 01;
those above the average are, New
Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York,
Pennsylvania, Maryland and Michi
gan. The aggregate decrease is two;
pef cent., which is partially offset by
the decreased area. Barley is gener
ally reported below the average-
New York, Ohio, Indiana and Wis
consin showing best. Buckwheat is
10 per'ceui. below the average. Rye
is nearly an average crop, the heavi
est depreciation .being in New York.
Hay is reduced in quantity but better
quality, Georgia and Arkansas, being
above the average crop; sweet pota

appear to be ftt all satisfactory in

Paris correspondent, "that there will
be trouble soon after the Assembly
meets. M. Thiers has becime un
bearable. He refuses to let any min
ister take any step without his appro
val. Three days ago be spent five
hours discussing with building con
tractors the details of some wooden
houses for, the troops. So it is with
everything. His haughtiness and in
solence to deputies is intolerable.
There are a hundred indications that
the storm is brewing." This sketch
of the situation may be overdrawn,
but all the signs am, nevertheless,
that the conrse of M. Thiers will soon
lead to serions trouble. . Frenchmen,
of all mankind, are least qualified to
submit to arrogance, and Thiers has
shown that be is not by any means
deficient in this.
