"My Dear Boy You are alwaysboys7 at home are scattered far one in Mis souri, another in Arkansas, the third in far off tlorida, till I feel lone and almost -broken hearted." A letter from the author's mother. Dear mother, I have wandered far, "Far from the old roof-tree And miles, by mountain, cliff and scar, Have parted vou and me. Tho' storms may drive us where they will u er land or ocean's foam, One happy thought may cheer us still, Wee always boys at home.

Some readers of the North Carolina Presbyterian may of course unjustly : regard our charges against Human ism us being deeply tinged, at least, With biras or prejudice, h or the ben efit of sucli we introduce to-day a most important witness no other than the Roman Pontiff, himself. He has since bis Irish rescripts issued an encyclical on lluiuan Liberty. The following extracts from this characteristic docu ment, and the comments thereon, are from the N. l. Independent, which says 4it is really not an essay about liberty, but an essay against iiberty of thought and speech and worship.' If there be any theory more tirmlv imbeded than any in our American institutions it is that of the indepen dence of Church and State, the equali ty of all religions before the law what we call religious liberty. Under this system the Catholic church in this country has grown to its present pros perity. The Catholic clergy and peo ple accept it and praise it here and in liorae. Ill no other country do they regard the condition of their church as more happy. But his Holiness cannot possibly appreciate all this which he has never seen. He knows only of the license of the church's foes iu Italy and so he proceeds to aa attack that is most unfortunate for his cause in this country, and will give his followers a difficult task to expfain away his words. JHe speaks of fatal theory of the sep aration of Church and State." In ex panding the danger of this theory he attacks, - "That libertt in individuals which issoop pned to the virtue of religion, namely, the liberty of worship, n,s it is railed, which rests on the principle that every man is free to profess as lie chooses anj religion or none.' This remarkable laicyciical proceeds: : "This same liberty, it' it be considered in relation to the State clearly implies t tint : no form of worship is to be preferred te another, but that ul I stand on an equal looting; no account being taken ot the the religion or ihe people e en if they profess tl e Catholic fait I). Justice therefore forbid, and reason for bids, the tate to be godless, or to adopt a line i.f action which would end in godicss-ne-8, namely, to treat the vurious religions as they cill them, al;ke, and to hestow upoo them promiscuously equal rKhts and privilege!". bin e -then, the profession of one religion is necessary in the State, that one must be professed which alone can be recognized without difficulty, especially in Catholic States, because the niarksot truth a e, ns it were, engraven upon it. This re ligion, therefore, the rnhrs of the Stnte inu.-t pri serve and protect if they would provide, as they should do, with prudence and uefulne.s for the good of the commu nliy." This is as absolute a contradiction as can be conceived of the fundamental principle of American religious liberty as formulated in the Constitutions of the separate states,. and- thus expressed in ourtiational Constitution: "No religious list shall ever be reqnired as a qualification to any t fflce jar public trust iu the United States.' "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of sjh e h, or the press." It is an exceedingly bad and a perni cious blander on the part of the Pope to forget America, the ..country- where j tlie Caihojic church is freest u hen wri SAIISBUEY, H. C, THUESDAY, ting on Human Liberty. It is a pity that he could not have: read and pon dered to more purpose the copy of the Constitution presented to him by Pres ident Cleveland on the" occasion of his Jubilee and so warmly extolled by Car dinal Gibbons. His Holiness then pjpeeeds to talk of "Liberty of speech and of ; iie Press. "There can be no such r he strangely says, "if it 13 not used in moderation1 He then explains his Yiews: . - "Men hare a right freelv and prmlentlj to propagate throughout the State whatso ever things arc true and honorable, ho that as many as possible .may possess them; but false doctrines, than which no mental piagne is greater, and vices which corrupt the henrt, should bediligei.tly repressed by public authority, lest they insidiously work the ruin of the State. The excesses of an unbridled intellect, which reallv end in the oppression of the ignorant multitude, aie not less rightly restrained by the authority of the law than are the injuries inflicted by . L . 1 ? toree npon inc weaic. But if what His Holiness calls "false doctrines" are to be "diligently repress- ea oy puunc autnonty, we have the worst of men till suppression restored to its old force, and we set the old Italian mprimature diicking once more at each other on the four pages of every book before it is allowed to see the light. And so with "liberty of teaching" that is equally condemned, and "liberty of thought." Either by plain teaching or by implication it is "clear that the doctrines of bis Holiness is that it is the duty of the State to accept the truth from the Roman church, which alone has "lawful authority" to define it,, and then to teach this truth and allow 110 doctriness to be taught con trary thereto. If the Church does not use this her "lawful authority", to di rect the State it is because we have fal len on evil times. It isiiard to .believe that the following with which we close our extracts means, all it seems to mean: -"Although in the extraordinary condition of these times, tin? ( h lrcli iusually acquies ces in certain modem liberties, not because ch judges it expedient to permit them, in the bettertimes she wohld use her own lib- 1 rty; and, by persuation. exortation and en treaty, she would endeavot, ns she ouht to fulfil! the duty assigned to her bv Go of providing for the eternal salvation of mankind." : We do nor know what this mon strous announcement means if it does not mean the persuading the State to suppress Anfi-Catholic liberal teaching Certainly the Church, as it his Eucvcii- cal proves, has in Italy itself, and every where else, liberty enough to rersuade. exhort and entreat. ; But slie does not have the liberty happily in tbiscouu i'trv to suppress liberty: 5 Ti.:. ti 1 i' ii nils rjiicvcucni is tne worst weaoon the Pope could have put iit this coun try, it will be read with profound iistonisnment and dismay by his pre lates here, and they will find the task of defending it a very unpleasant oiie The Canada Presbyterian savs: Leo has again felt called upon to issue an Hiiicyciical on -Freedom. Unlike the passionate official utterances of his predecessors, it is calm, thoughtful and sholarly. He is too intelligent a man and too astute a politician not to take a comprehensive vipw of the subjett in all its bearings 011 existing social and political forces. The abstract and ideal state of things where the Papacy Could dominate is admittedly-incapable of realization in these agitated and tur bulent times. It is for the attainment of this fictitious golden age that the Papacy in all departments is striving, out witn indinerent success. Other wise the Pope would not feel called to protest so vigorously against the modem thought. In the Encyclical re published, the Pope pronounces his sol emn anathema on freedom of speech, f reedom of the press,freedom from eccle siastical control in education, and he is especially averse to liberty of con science. The suppression of these at this stage of the world s history is a contract too great for an institution like the Papacy, even though it were more powerful than it now is. After repeat ed contests and the results that will follow, it'is quite possible that a suc cessor to say non possums, but with a meaning somewhat different from the signification given it by Pitis IX. The position is taken that the Church, that is, the Church of Rome, claims authority to regulate the degree of freedom that the people shall possess, and the Encyclical proceeds: "It follows from these considerations that it is not lawful to ask, to defend. or to grant unreservedly as rights to which man is naturilly entiled, liberty of thought, of the press, of teaching, in which, these various kinds of liberty may be tolorated, provided that, by the exercise of a wise diseretson. they are never allowed to Ueiren erate into license or disorder. L:Wly, where these liberties are already in force citizens mav make use of them for irood ends in harmony with the mind of the ClnirchJ For no liberty should ever be -regarded a legitimate which docs not increase our pow er of doing. When under any particular government the Church suffercs violence, or is deprived of her lawful liberties, it is permissible for her seek sme other polit ical organization more favorable to her op erations. That which the Church sanc tinns is not liberty unlimited and ! unre strained, but such a measure of freedom as may secure the welfare of all." Let our readers remember that in the Encyclical "Church" always means Roman Catholic Church, sis "Where these liberties are already in force cit izens may make use of them for good ends in kannowf irith the mind'ot the Roman Catholic Church." Thanks! We know of citizens who will hardly AUGUST 16, 1888. consuU the mind of the -"Church" in this matter. Again, "When under any paricular government theChurch suffers violence or is deprived of her lawful liberties, it is permissible for her to seek some oth er political organization more favorable to her operations."

The world df horticulture, far more than himself,jhas profited by his labors. He has reappd no pecuniary advantage out of his grat discovery, and now in si feeblell age lacks the comforts and attentions the means fur securing which hs services to the public should have bright him. For, until the ad vent of the Concord, irranes wer a lux ury enjoyed only by the weathly. Al thoughthe Isabella, brouirht out as a wild seedj ing nearly twenty years before by .George Gibbs, and named after his wife, wits well known, as was the Ca tawba (a wild grape from the banks of the Potomac, domesticated by Major Adlum of the district of Columbia!. neither Was hardy enough to survive the cold Northern winters. Now no home is too humble to be without the Concord, jor some of the other varieties of natives origin that havp bpo nrndnr- . .j .0 - m r x ed since is introduction gave such an impetus to the improvementot our na tievarieies. Mr. 13 1 l 1 was him in Washington Street, Boston. March 4. 1S06. and as a boy too great delight in the home garden. .The public schools were his college add gold-beating become his profession;, which he followed for years, unti;. iu 106 1, he was compelled by waning health to take up a country life. He bought a small place at Con cord, not far from the home of Rilph Waldo Emerson, and devoted himself to fruit culture with a determination j V - . " --, to prod tide a perfectly hardy grape. J iu ucuureeu ui iiuu iuai ine wiiu grape i had been waiting for usi for vears. and ' that it po.essed an ancestry and line-' age that combined to make constitu tional vigr and hardiness of inestima ble value, f its wild habit could be broken so that its siz-i and quality might be improved by careful breeding. The wild krraoes aloncr the Cjncord - r? 0 were of various colors and chaiacters, ;m1 had injterbred for years.1 This hab it made thfj work .of improvement far more promising than if si single strain of the wild fruit ha 1 grown on year after year, developing more fixed cliar- acteristics as time went on. To this fuudamenBil cause, Mr. Bull attributes the m my w'lite seedling given by the j Concord. 'After some huntinir for the most promising wild grapevine, an ac cidental sjeedling'of the true VitU Labrusca, he wild grape of New hnq land. that iaine tin in his irarden from a seed problibly droppetl by a bird, Wits l Tj ill cnosen. 1 was a sweet ana gooa grape, for a wild variety, with large black ber ries, very prolific, and its whole crop was ripe byj August 22, in the fall of 1842. The, seeds of the best of the in 1849, bo-d their first crop. Only a fruit were planted the uext year the most promising deedling were care fully nurtured, and six years . later, single vine among the many proved of value, but that 0113 was a priceless pearl the Concord firrane. After three Years -feaiincr. Mr n.,11 finally exhibited the Concord before the Massachusetts Horticultural in loo2 as a seedling from a native grape. Up to that time, amateurs and professionals had considered it imai sible to produce from wild varieties a grape tree from the objectionable foxy nature. True to their nrpindirea' fbu di lettanti made war upon it, and even th lute j. uownmg washercely "down on it. But itsjnerits snepdilv rnihpl the Concord into public attention and wnen it was introduced by C. M. Hov ey & Co. of Boston, iii lAra tho firf year's sales amounted to $3,203 an ex travagant sum to be realized on a new fruit in those davs. It wn first fnlW described in Hovey's Mai izineof llor- rtcuuure in I0i4, and the next year was generally grown by nurserymen, who reaped a harvest from its "subsequent sale. Thiny it slipped from the control of the origiriater, who was left only the glory of giving such a blessing to Clie WOl'lU. Mr. Dull has PVPr sone Dlirsued his atfpmnt in fnrfhor. ;ni. prove the grape. His object has been 10 proauce a variety ot better quality wune equauy narav and productive. He has evidently succeeded in his new black grape, which though still withheld from the public has proven to be of a high order of merit. Another fruit of his long labors as a specialist will soon delight connoisseurs his new white grape. May he profit handsomely by their propagation ! Mr. Bull was elected by the American par ty to the lower branch of the Massa chuesetts Legislature in 18c 5, and to the State Senate in 1850. That year he was appointed to theMassachuesetts Board of Agriculture, in which he serv ed for twelve consecutive years. His work and sayings added much to the value of the Transactions of the Board. Secretary Flint well says of him : "He did more probably than any other man, through the admirable papers he fur ished, to awaken an interest in the cul tivation of the grape." The reverened "Father of American Pomology," Mar shall P. Wilder, said shortly before his death; "Mr. Bull is and ever has been a most worthy, unpretendinggentleman. Since he secured the famous ConCord no other modern varietw has been so extensively cultivated in our northern climes, or so appreciated by the public. Had Mr. Bull dene nothing elre for the benefit of mankind, his name would be held in grateful remembrance, while the fruit of the vine shall cool the parched tongue or its juice make glad the heart man. Concerning the merits of the Con cord, Mr. Bull writes with justifiable pride: The original Concord grape vine bore its first cron six vears from the seed. Nearlv all of it seedlings have fruited in six years from seed. Other varieties of grapes may and do fruit in three or four years, but their merits are not permanent. The Concord has "iven us nearlv all the best grapes of to-day. Its seedlings stand; they possess intrinsic merits. We do not accept, as authentic his tory what is said above in relation to the Isabella grape. We feel con fident that the Issabella is of greater age than that indicated by this writer. It was cultivated in this town sixty- years ago, and the late Andrew Matth ieu, of this place gained much local no toriety by its culture about the years 1833 to 1837. Nor do we accept what is said above about the Catawba grape. We have reason to believe that it is a native of North Carolina, and was known and cultivated in the town of Lincolnton long before Mr. Adlum of the District of Columbia is said to have obtained it as a wild grape from the banks of the Potomac Watchm ax. ' s-sss . - - Use of Eggs. The food contained in the egg ha? nearly all the elements necessary for the support of man. Eggs are admir a')ly proportioned, they are palatable, they are concentrated and portable. The French masters of the culinary art claim that eggs can be prepared in more that five hundred methods. Egs contain .phosphorus and sulphur. They are an excellent nutriment for children. The white of an eggTs an antidote for the poison of corrosive sublimate, and from the yollt the Rus sians extract oil which-has a wonder ful repute for the cure of bruise.; and cuts. In France, in the clarifying of wine, scfme seven millions, of eggs are used in a year, and in calico printing and dressing leather for gloves more than three million dozens Eggs which have survived their usefulness, and which indeed may be called decaying and thoroughly spoiled, and which once were dumped with city refuse, are now gat here 1 and made use of by the manufacturers of Morocco leather. Perhaps the most profitable use to which the egg c m be put is to raise a chicken therefrom, 111 time far the early spring season when "broilers" bear a higher-pric in the market than almost anything else. From the egg, through all the processes to which the ,chickens may pass, .at every point there will be found profit for the farm, with careful aaJ intelligent management. 110. 43.

Finally Hiss Russell transmitted to him her thanks for the' flowers, and a message expressing ber hope that he would come to the onera some evening to hear her in. one of hef ; principal roles, riell Mis Russell," was the answer, fthat I prefer talisten '- to her voice from a distance in the se clusion of my own room." That day me customary noral offering -was a horseshoe formed of. magnificent rosefj and with it came a request that Miss Russell would send back one of the ! ! roses. This she did very willingly, being pleased to testify in any way her gratitude for such delicate and con- ' stant attention. Thenext day came a basket of rare orchidsjand to the handle ' was tied a velvet case containing a rose -with stalk and foliage all in diamonds. As usual, not a line or word accomp'a nied the gift. Before it was sent the" silent gentleman had quitted the hotel, so that Miss Russell was unable even to thank him for, his superb present.r- ; All her inquiries respecting his identi ty were fruitless. Evidently-the peo jIe at the hotel had received their or-, ders, for all they, would say was that he was a very great personage, and that he desired ,to remain unknown.

TAKE3 THE. ANCHOR IN HIS MOUTH. AND RUNS AWAY WITH THE 6C1JOOXEK. Cape Ann Advertiser. i A letter has been recaived from the ' ? steward of the schooner H. B. Griffin Capt. George Nelson, now absent on the Banks, in which it is stated that . ,H they have met with an unusual experi ence, viz: that of .being towed by W whale. The affair occurred on a nee day when all the dories weic out at- ' tending the trawls. The captain ai d stewart were on board as usual, look- , ing after the vessel, and keeping an eye on the dories, when all at once thev " . felt a suddenerk, and soon the vessel was going through the water at a rapid rate and no motive power visible.- It takes considerable to startle a fisher- man, but this, was something so un common, a vessel dashing through ' water at a rapid rate with her sails ' furled and anchor down, that they be- .! gan to look alarmed. Suddenly th m . cause made itself manifest, when a 4 monstrous whale arose to the surface, r with the anchor fast either in his jaw ." or blow-hole. He-tore through the " water at a high-pressure rate, and was -fast taking the craft out of sfrrht 'of - u ., tne aones, tnus leaving tne crew ex posed; and besides this, there Was dan ger of the vessel beiug towed under. The only remedy was to cut the cable. This was done, and his whaleship went off with the anchor in tow. The jib and foresail were hoisted, and the ves sel was soon engaged in picking up her dories, and on her way to Newfound land, where a new anchor and cable were secured. There are but two similar cases of which we have any record, which we found in the files of our paper, viz; Schooner C. H. Pries was towtd a day and a half by a whale in 1874, when the f uke of the anchor broke and she was released. Then, again, on the 10th of December, 1874, while the schooner Sultana, Capt. Peterson, was at anchor on the Graud Bank, a sudden motion Wiis felt, and soon the vessel was speed ing through the water a twelve-knot speed.
