One of the victims was °larine Pelle, 8 years of age. She was strangled, her head cut of, the blood was sought in an earthen vessels and the body was then skins ued and CUT UP IN PIECES. After the ghastly preparations had been completed the party, which numbered 60 persons, went to the house of Floreal Peltier, where they placed the human sacrifice on a box containing the serpent, and the ghastly head was held high in the air while the votaries of Voudoux danced around it to the time of a sacred drum. • After the mummeries were ended a pot was placed, over the fire and the head was boiled for soap. The reniti'inder of the body was cooked with the little red beane known in Hayti as Pois Congo.

Watte, . a young farmer from Chatham came to Springfield, 111.,. the other day to attend a faith•cure meeting, announes himself quite .satisfied with his experience up to the present time, and will return home. Among the recent converts is Anna Delaney of Taylo•sville, a young woman about twenty yeara old. Since her converaionsbe has taken up her residence in the city, and is a regular attendant at the afternoon and evening meetings, going into trances upon the slight- est provocation. While in a trance she sometimes walks abcut the hall. preparations, and cut a piecoof flesh from the palm of the slaughterrd child and ate it raw before the others, accompanying her banquet with a grbtesque 'dance. Fourteen of the participants in this affair were publicly shot et Port au Prince, in the presence of 15,000 persons. Notwithstanding the fact that the graves of the dead cannibals were surrounded by a double cordon of soldiers, the bodies of two priests and the Mamanoli were disinterred and carried off by the faithful." as they please without exciting any hostility, But when the Catholic Church in its wisdom passes a law requiring parochial Catholic Schools for 41t its children, then a war is declared on parochial schools, and unfortunately, to the eurprise and ecandal • of all right•thinki.ng .men, many Catholics are found siding with the enemy, openly sympathiz- ing with them in their hostility, and refusing to send their children to their own sebools, and doing all they can to discourage their pastors in their necessary and arduous work. In a civil war what would such men be called and how would they be treated by the authorities? le it too harsh to say that such inen are traitors to the Catholic .camp? . At the meeting Wednesday after- .noon' the girl was in a tpance, as 'usual, and in walking up and down the aisle passed young Watts, who was standing among a group of sight -seers in the rear of the hall. As she did so she caught bold of leis band with a grip so 6rm that although he struggled to get loose he was unable to do so. Several men tried tostop the girl, but she continued walking, and Watts was compelled to follow her. It was four o'clock in the afternoon when Anna took her companion by the • band, and it -was seven and -a hall ;hours before he regained hie free- dom. When - she walked Watts had to walk, and when she stood he had to stand. All the afternoon and evening he suffered as he probably had never suffered before, and wiped great drops of perspire - tion from his forehead while the faith.cure band prayed, shouted and sang themselves hoarse. Shortly before midnight Miss Delaney fell to the floor, She was placed upon a stretcher, and in about five minutes let go her hold of Watts, greatly to that individual's relief The young farmer lost no time in getting out of the hall. His band is swollen now so that he is hardly able to use it. Mies Delaney is now out of the trance, but has no recollection of what occurred. VOODOOISM IN HAYTI. A HORRIBLE FEAST OF HUMAN FLESH—THE PARTICI- PANTS STMT. THEOLOGICAL THOUGHT WICKED MEN ABROAD. The late Chief Juatice Chase once startled the writer of this by saying: "The wicked men are net in the penitentiary, they are in the churches. The criminals we eo - vict are not wicked, they are simply weak—weak in character and weak in intellect. The men from whom society suffers are the cold, selfish calculating creatures who not only keep clear of the courts but seek the churches, and deceive themselves and hope to deceive the Almighty." .x. gpMINITARIAN. Talk about evictions in Ireland, says Rev. Dr. McGlynn, I am told that there are some twenty thousand evictions in New York City every year for nonpayment of rent, a number- greater than the evictions in all Ireland. Mr. Gladstone, in his saner, later moments, has said that a sentence of eviction was fre- quently equivalent to a sentence of death. 'These .sentences of evictions are to the streets, with , the poor little pots and pane and sticks of furniture, and from. the street to the hospital, to die—to 611 a prema- ture grave in the Pottet'a field, un- marked, unknown. There is a fear- ful tragedy going oil right under your eyes, ladies and gentlemen, and some of you don't see it, and some of yon know nothing about it. It has bean my lot to touch these tragedies too often; as with my very hand. My ears have been oppressed by them. My heart has been rent by them. And small wonder if I could stand it no longer, and thought it' high time to raise my voice and my hand to high heaven and as good as swear that I would do what I could to abolish the iniquity. A correspondent of The New York Herald in Hayti under date of Juny 15, tells a horrible story of cannibalism in the Black Republic. He says :—,-"The whole sul feet of Voudoux, as the word is spelled in Hayti, is a delicate and offensive one to the people, I was fore- warned that it is conwidered had form to introduce the topic in eui- vereation among the upper class. I asked for an explanation. The answer given was that Voudooism and its occasional concomitant onn- nibalistn prevails everywhere, and Haytieus of intelligence and educa- tion are ashamed of it. The late Pres- ident Solna -ye, a mulatto, used take part in the midnight meetiugs, but he was a politician seeking the auppc,rt of Papaloi. The Presi$lent of Voudoux is called Papaloi. In Hayti at the present time there are over one•half the popnlation direct- ly under the sway of the Papaloi, The great majority of the believers wing are of the harmless ving of the society who satisfy themselves with offering to the serpent a white goat or rooster. The minority demand a sterner sacrifice of a 'goat without way have as many parochitil schools pore house. You didn't know Uncle Bill, I reckon7' 'No, I never had' that honor.' 'Humph, it wouldn't be no great honor, I guess. But thew two cousins over thar to the pore'•houae was Uncle Btll'e ubildreu, but they wusa't never wuth shuck*.' 'How do I go front theh poor- 11ou4e' • QUALiTY NOT QUANTITY. The Standard ('Rapt.) says :— "Greed for uuwbera undoubtedly breeds peril and trouble in the churches. Lr. E. T. Hiscox believes it threatens their integrity. To read the reports of revival meetings. in which the great number of con- versions under Brother So-and•so is always the prominent feature, is to be impressed with this view. It may give an appearance of success to receive large accessions to mem- bership, and it does not follow that this may not go along with proper training of those received ; but the fact, to be kept uppermost is that a minister's truest success lies in impressing himself upon indi- vidual lives and moulding character. Growth in numbers is good, if it comes from conversion and not mere excitement or pressure, but growth in grace is the prime factor of the Clrureh's conquest of 'the world for Christ." ON A MISSOURI HIGHWAY. A Wenger passing through Pos. suin Ridge met up with an •old party driving a yoke of oxen, and stopped to inquire the way to Beckett's mill. The old party was a native of the Ridge—a tall,"raw-.boned sj ecilneu •wearing a pair of cotton overalls 'gallused' up almost to his ening and lacking at least six inches of reach- ing to his shoes. 'Good morning, uncle,' the stran. ger said. 'Humph ! What yer call uncle fer !' the native replied. hain't no uncle o' ,yourn. I'm Perry Jacks.' AS THE TWIG 1S BENT SO IS THE TREE INCLINED. The Catholic Review says :—"In the contest which is now being waged on the public school question, it is painful to confess that the hearts of many Catholics are More with the opposition to parochial schools than., with their own corelitlioniets. What is that but saying that they are not loyal to the church ? It seems to have no weight with them that the church has spoken in positive, and emphatic- terms on the subject. They apparently overlook the fact that the Church absolutely and unconditionally requires the establishment of parochial acboole in every pariah as soon as practic• able, and that 'all the members of the Church shall send their children to them and aid in supporting them. Front their conduct one might infer that they feel at perfect liberty to judge for themselves, and as they have been educated in the public schools and they consider them, as they say, `good enough for thew', they do not hesitate to speak their minds and express their preferences freely, thus practically ,joining the ranks of the opponents of the Church and proclaiming to the world that on the school question at least their Church is wrong and they are right, and they are therefore at perfect liberty to judge for theneselyes and refuan to obey her behests. "What is this but the rankest •Protestantien) 1 There is no blinks in.g the question. It is simple A. B C. There are two parties, those who are opposed to, and those wlio ere in favor of, parochial schools. Protestents are opposed to, parochial schools because they aro opposed to Catholic schools. That is the meaning and the reason of their opposition. Protestants 'Wal, yer kinder sidle erlong down titer hill till yer come ter my house.

One time the deacon's wife was putting up cucumber pickles in the kitchen, and the parrot—he was a very knowing • bird, and had been piously brought up in the deacon's family—was sitting on toe back of a chair watching the operation. •Pres btly, when the deacon's wife's back was turned the parrot slipped up and stole one of the pickles out of the dish. She turned around in time, however, to catch hist at It, and threw her knife at him with such force that it rook all the feathers emoothly Off the top of the parrot's bead. The parrot flew around for some days in sore distress at the loss of his top -knot, but recovered it in the course of time. Otte, day, sows lit- tle time after this incident, a minis,. ter who bad exchanged with our minister came to spend the Sabbath at Deacon Staples'. The' parrot was 'in the dining room when the family and the minister came into break.. fast. The clergyman was very bald; his head fairly shone. , He hadn't more than got seated at the table before the parrot, fixing hia gaze on the minister, serest -nett out : 'Ha 1 ye durned old scamp ! been stealin pickles 1' HOW A POLISH PRIEST IN CHICAGO FIXES PENANCES. A strange state of affairs exists in the Polish settlement at South Chicago, where the Polish prieat, Father Pyplatz, rules Itis congrega- tion with the heaviest kind of an iron hand. Some yearn ago, when the rolling mills were started, and before Congress stopped the impor- tation of contract labor, about one hundred and fifty families of Poles from Galicia and Posen, from pro- bably the most ignorant class of peasants in Europe, were brought over to work in the mills. There they settled and there they are to- day. They earn but $1.50 a � day and only work about half the year, but in spite of tide they have been able to save money, buy houses, and rear their children. In addition to this they erected a church on Com- mercial avenue arid Eightyeighth street, in which Father Pyplatz at present officiates. 'Didn't 1 I 'lowed mebbe yer had.

As is usually the case in Polish cominuuitiea,there are two societies, one the Polish National and the other the Catholic. The latter hanks in the sunshine of the pastor's favor, while the members of the former society are regarded as little short of a community of lost souls in consequence of their strong ten- dency to free thought, and the very slight attention they pay to their church duties. It is said that they are remiss in attending church and the sacraments, while the members of the other society do their duty in. a way which leaves their pastor little ground for complaint. All, however, are expected to contribute to the support of the church, and all must go to confess sional at least once a year. If the assessment is not paid up,the priest, in fixing the penance, takes cogniz- ance of the fact, and the priest believes in penances. Ile has a nicely regulated scale for the differ- ent offences, running from simple fines to a form of punishment worthy of the middle ages. This extreme measure, it is related, was a short time ago enforced on a young woman who is now married and liv- en Commercial avenue. The girl had -made a misstep, and a child wits born to her. To expiate this offence she was compelled to go to mass at eight o'clock in the morning on a Sunday. On her arrival at the church her hands were bound' with a tope behind her back by two acolytes, she was wrapped up from bead to foot in crape, and laid face downward on the floor. The boys stood beside her holding the rope, and as etwh person came into the church one of them called attention to the culprit by shouting : "Pray for the penitent."
