Fortunately, tho laws whirh sonio centuries nt'O lx liiiitted this fanaticism to find expres ni( ,n in the torture and I ho stako, now force it to seek the salvation of souls in a manner less decisive; lut the spirit is there, ns fervent us rver. though it iiey jievforco 1e limited in its manifestatiins. From the official record of tho trial at Ghent, in July. 1 as printed ly M. Sun vest ro. we eondcnso ft story that mif,'ht have served ns a ground-work for Mrs. Jlmlcliti'c or Monk Lewis. A family of Lutherans named Kohvsch, con sisting of a father, n son. and a daughter, moved from lYlhiu in Prussia and settled in Antwerp. Cn liis dealh-lied the father I'Xacted of the sen, Ki-'hard, a solemn promise to gu::rd the i'.'iih of Ids sist u- s! " idf ist ly in tlie religion of her nneestm-s. Kichard wis a young man earning a moderate lhelihood as 11 clerk. Iivin;,' in rooms from which his duties kept him absent throughout the whole day, he had no proper homo tor a young girl of' seventeen, and us his straitened me.iiis imposed on lim th" lc-eessity nf economy, lie finally plueed Ann.dielia as a lioprd-r with tin) Si.st( i's of (.Miauly of Mekc'e. Alindt'ul of his promise to his ding Miter, h. wever, he ex acted a condition that no attempt at prosely tism sliouldhe made, and in -Lily, 1 .7, he ro reived from the superior of the convent a written declaration: "Kit ejwd mix i-niinti-s iti'! vont vein1 do mV poser, e veils jranuius iiio niadomoisollo u't'-t itnee 'a sitivre iitiruil exerctce reliirieiix et joint tl'llite entit'l-e liherte, iUaut aux prescript ions do s.i iT..tH''C." AVithin a monlh al ter this Auiiahella was a convert, secretly liapti.ed in the Catholic faith, iir.d a fortnight, later was admitted to communion. So little connection did these fervent propagandists reeogni.o between re ligion and morality, that no resources of false hood wore spared to keyp the truth from being known. Uu the very day of the baptism Annabella received a visit from her brother, ami the neophyte was trained to lie unblnsh- 111L 'lv in order to aeit his s'tv. n-'iuns. At h'c.'tli F.ic! d ;rcv uneasy, and ill hi- sister from the 1 director. I'lerre ( !e S . Augustine in Ant ral in t ;-M!,.i'i:t in her Icr 1 1'. ii n the obser- May, If-.V.i. he withdve'. convent.

Iiowcver, threatened imglit coin nine H cessary dissimiil . too serious a rUi company with a Jacques Sellout's, in the matter, he to r s.ilva.i in. and in f.itlier. l'hilippe deeily implicated her ii'odiic'.ion. Jn 'V.l.t .lott. three days after her re', urn of apparently uniutcrrup! nabella disappeared, leavii ionic: ttireo days I affection Au i; behind her a most loving letter, in which sue bewailed the necessity of separation, liichard. suspecting that a religious intrigue was at the bottom of the mystery, applied to the Prussian Consul, who set the uulhovuies aci ely to work in fiearch of the missing girl, bin their efforts were vain, and for nine months all trace of her was lost. Leaving her brother's 1 idgings at five in the morning of the 11th of May. Annabeila went to the house of Marie Jeanne Lauler 1 men, who had served as god-mot her at her baptism. There she was disguised as a servant girl. and was taken thence to Marie Vanderinolon, a dealer in embroideries. Meanwhile llogaerts imd Sehoofs had arranged to send her, under charge of a milliner named Po.salie do Din e, to Lrussels with a letter asking admission for her in the convent of Jette. A carriage was procured, in which, to avoid detection, the two women were driven out of town to a way (station on the railroad, and they reached Brussels without molestation. All this was a serious crime in the eye of the law, for Aunnbella, until she should reach the age of twenty-four, was yet a minor, under her brother's guardianship. The nuns of Jette apparently suspected that some thing was wrong, and refused to receive the fugitive, ltosalie then, after much diffi culty, succeeded in obtaining permission for her to remain for a few days in another convent. The proposed asylum having failed, Logaerts nnd Sehoofs then de termined to send their perilous charge to Paris. Under the name of Eugenie do Marie, and with a false passport, Aunabella was accordingly conveyed by Kosalie to the house of St. Joseph in Paris, where sho re mained at tho expenso of Pogaerts until September. For some unexplained reason, Kosalie was then sent to Paris to bring her liack. At Mechlin, tho two were met by Kchoofs, who conducted them to the house of tho ,Sti urK tic I L limit mi ,htc ( i ir at llou k'aerde, where arrangements had been made for Annabella's reception. After three months of rest, Homething occurred to alarm the reverond conspirators, and Posalie was sent to bring Annabeila back, again to Antwerp, where aho was placed in the Carmelite Con vent. Tho Superior of the Carmelites found that her nerves could not long endure the risk to which sho had exposed herself, and nhe applied to a house in Bruges to receive tho fugitive. The dangerous task was pru dently declined, but a bolder spirit was found in the head of the Sisters of Charit y at Eecloo. 'Jo Eecloo, therefore, two days before Christ mas, was liosalie despatched by Bogaerts, in charge of the luckless Annabeila, to whom tho same of Marie Toinez was now given. Thus far the plot had been successful; and if the object of these ceaseless cares had -ratefully persevered in preferring heaven to earth, as advised by her ghostly counsellors, nhe might never more have been heard of among men. Unfortunately for her salva tion, she was human. 'Thoughts of tho brother whom sho hud been led to desert, and of the faith which she had been persuaded to abandon, would intrude themselves, and twice during her weary wanderings she had attempted to communicate with Bichard, but fears of those around her had rendered her efforts nugatory. A third time she was bolder nnd more successful. On January Id, isiio, liichard received a letter, post-marked at Ghent, which, over an unintelligible signa ture, informed him that his lost Annabeila was in tho convent of Eecloo, under tho name of Marie Toinez, and that she could be recog nized there on Sunday during Mass, among the bonrders behind the screen in tho church. The following Sunday, January L'l'd, a wit ness was sent, who saw Annabeila in the con vent church. On Monday, liichard pre sented himself at the convent and claimed his nister. The lady superior solemnly denied any knowledge of Marie Toinez or Annabeila Jiohjscb; but, ns soon as JUcL(iwl hnd left the hoiiHO, she hurried Annaholla to tho residenco of Jeim-Atitoino van l'ptegheio, tho spiritual direct or of her community. The precaution was not ill-timed, lor liichard speedily returned with tho police. His Kparch, of course, was vain, and to keep up tho comedy tho superior feigned to lo touched with tho depth of his grief, promised to rid him in tracing his sis ter, and actually took his address, so as to bo able to send news in cn-so sho should bo so fortunate as to discover tho hiding-place of the missing girl. ?y this time the nirair had created consi derable senndi.l. nnd vs the rhirsners were so nearly on the tia'-k of tho precious convert, it had evidently Leeomo dangerous to afford her n refuge. Ilei soul was to be saved. however.at all costs, anil tho pious conspirators were not disposed to abandon the prize which had cost them so much risk and IV or. Accordingly, at mid night, Annabeila was taken, carefully guarded, to a retired spot near the cemetery of Eocloo, where a carriage was in waiting. Before day light she had ben driven to l.ruges, and taken to a convert there. Tho sup nior, afraid to receive her, placed her with a trusty person named John Callnghan, who kept, her until tht) evening of the 'Jlth. Then, by tho night boat, he eon -. yed her I o Client, where', lifter one or t.o vain attempts to find a hiding-place for h"i he succeeded in lodging her with Jciiir, . tie van I i aueo.vvt, n former pupil of ti e coliM.lt of Melsele. whi-'ll, it will be remembered, was the scene of Amia bella's conversion. The ipiavry was now nearly brought to bay. The police lvd H"i been idle, ni'd Ctll.tghau's v isit to (ihei.t was suspected to have some connection v.itli the disappearance of the ab ducted girl. n : first examination, lie eluded I his i (nest ioncrs. and .sent word to Client that his colle.c'ues tle. -e might conform their stories to his own. Tho authorities, hovvevcr. succeeded in proving tho falsi;v of his state incut, and at 1 i-t ho was obliged to confess the truth. Following up the clue thus ob tained. Kiehard at i- ngtli succeeded in recov ering his long-lost ister, on the I'-lli of Janu ary, in the hoiie of a peasant at tcntbrugge. If all this were not prosaically in evidence before a court of justice in a criminal trial, one wi in Id hesilaf c to believe that such a frag ment of the (well Ih century could bo grafted into the ninetei ut ii. Nor. however guilty tin y may be before the law, are the actors in this strange history personally to blame, any more than Hindoos, vvho might be concerned in a suttee, or in dr' ving the ear of Jugger naut, believing that thereby (hey were render ing acceptable st r Ice to their 1 ei!y. It is the system which is accountable. Priests and nuns, who had seen the abduction of the boy Mor';';ra defiantly justified by tho Vicegerent of Chr! -t, might well consider it their duty to labor for the salvation of tho young Lutheran vvc.om Cod seemed to have placed in their le ids for that purpose. If deceit, dissimulation, and mendacity became necessary to effect so holy a purpose, the fault was not with them, but with the irre ligious laws which had deprived them of the poivor enjoyed of old to sunder all human ties in the name of a blessed Saviour. XIt: 'i'i5o ISisls(. From a new work on the Boman Cata combs, eompih d fro. n the works of Commcu dittore tie Bossi, and just published in Lon don, we are furnished with the following curious information about the bishops of the early Christian Church: "It is a remarkable fact, tho full signifi cance of which has only lately been appre ciated, that neither Bosio, Fabretti, Eoldefti, nor any other of the ancient explorers of sub terranean Borne, ever found an inscription bearing the title of bishop. It is true, in deed, that in the lirsl age this title had not acquired that determinate ecclesiastical sense which it subsequently received. Tho word had been in use among the Pagans in a wider and more general .signification. Among the Creeks, for example, it was used for the pre sident of the athletic, sports and public games, and this may have been a sullicient reason, perhaps, for omitting the title on the grave-stoms of the lir.st bishops. By the middle of the third century, however, its ecclesiastical sense was well defined, and accordingly wo tind it here on three out of these four grave-stones of the Popes. The tomb-stones of St. Corne lius, also, and of St. Eusebius, popes and martyrs, which we shall presently see in this cemetery, are similarly marked; and in the cemetery of St. Alexander, discovered fifteen or twenty years ago on the Via Nomentana, at least three epitaphs display the samo title. The fact that so many have been found in the same place, whereas they have not been found elsewhere, might suggest to an intelli gent student of arelneology that perhaps it was the practice in tho ancient church to re serve some special place of burial for those who had filled the highest rank in her hier archy. And this conjecture receives strong confirmation from the fact, which we learn from various sources, that the earliest successors of St. Peter (with a very few exceptions, which can generally be accounted for) lay buried each in his own sepulchre, 'near the body of blessed Peter in the Vatican,' just as tho bishops of Alexandria were buried near the body of St. Mark. More over, it was an object of great jealousy to the several churches that their bishops should bo buried in tho midst of them; their tombs were appealed to as a testimony to the apos tolic tradition and doctrine having come to them through a legitimate succession of bishops. Thus Polyerutcs, Bishop of Eph j sus, writing to St. Victor, carefully enume rates the burial-places in different cities of Asia of tho several bishops, 'great pillars of tho Church as he calls them, whom he alleges as witnesses in his behalf. Cuius, in like manner, disputing against tho Cataphrygiaus at the end of the second century, appeals to the tombs of Sts. Peter and Paul; so, also, Optatus in his controversy with tho Donatists. Hence, if a bishop happened to die at a distaneo from his own see, his body was ordinarily brought homo, even at a con siderable inconvenience; i . ., tho body of St. Eusebius from Sicily; of St. Cornelius from Civita Vecchia; and of St. Pontianus from the island of Sardinia. Tho bodies of all these Popes were brought back to Homo, though two of them at least had died in exile; for the law distinctly allowed tho bodies of exiles to bo brought homo for interment, provided th s Emperor's leave had been first obtained, and in tho instances hero alleged the translation was not made until a change in tho imperial policy towards the Church made it possible tu obtain such leave. Nor was this translation an honor peculiar to tho bodies of decease 1 Boinaii pout ill's. On the contrary, tho relics of St. Ignatius were restored to Antioch; the body of Dionysius, Bishop of Milan, was re covered by St. Ambrose, and that of St. Felix Bishop of Tiburtium, martyred at Venosu', was returned to Africa. Perhaps, also, this practice furnishes tho best explanation which can be given of the attempt made by the Christians of tho East to recover the bodies of fcs. l'vter ami Paul." Tlio .hiiiro, HOW THE CHINESE 1MM10HANTS AUE BROUoHT TO AMF.IIICA. Edward Atkinson, Esq., gives in tho Boston Pout tho following explanation of tho contract system whereby ho many Chinese have reached our shores, and it is proposed to bring so many more to work on tho cotton lands of the South. He says: Tho system was established by a gentleman now in San Francisco, who explained it to mo himself. I give it from memory, at the risk of some errors. He went to Hong-Kong, and there found a Chinese merchant of great wealth who was willing to attempt to iuduco tho voluntary migration of laborers and to become responsi ble for the fulfilment of contracts made by them: and if my ineniory serveSjine, ho s oit out over twenty thousand men. He (the merchant) agreed with other Chinamen that each should furnish one thousand. Theso men again agreed with others to furnish fifty each, and the contractors for lifty went out to tind tho men. The bargain was to advance fourteen dollars the cost of passage and a deposit with the Chinese Company of San Francisco to secure the return of bodies in case of death. The contract madvi by tho laborer, and accredited before a I niled States Consul, was to work out this a Ivauce at a certain rate of wages, and thereafter to bo free to make a now bargain or to go where he pleased. 1 was assured by (ho gentleman who m a le these Arrangements that each laborer gave his note for such amount, with his neighbor's, as surety; these notes were endorsed by the con tractors for lifty to the contractor's for one thousand, by them to the merchant in Hong Kong', and he executed a mortgage on real estate for their fulfilment. I was also assured that it had not been necessary to fall back upon the security, but that the agreements h i I been faithfully met. The gentleman ivho made this statement to' mo returned to San Francisco a few weeks since to enter into the business of furnishing other laborers upon the same terms. If sucii contracts can be made with men sud'teiently educated and trained to made them and abide by them, they cannot fail to be economically valuable as laborers. In fact, nothing but arbitrary legislation, absolutely prohibiting the immigration of Chinese iabor, can possibly prevent il. Take only the State of Arkansas, covering over lifty thousand square miles, one-half of whi di is cotton land of the best quality, mostly river bottom The Chinaman is fitted in every re spect to settle this region, of which only about one acre in a hundred has ever yet been cul tivated in cotton. The crop easily made is a bale to the acre, and eight to ten bales to the hand besides food. The value of ten bales is ihiw over sl'iU in currency. The labor is not hard, but persistent. Here are the conditions of demand for labor, and sixty days' time, with abou, spn in money, will bring an unlimited supply. If such contracts can be made as were laid be fore me by my informant, such demand and such supply cannot fail to meet. The Pacific Mail Company can move about twelve thousand per mouth. One hun Ired thousand such laborers would add eight hun dred thousand to one million bales to our an nual crop of cotton, and would place under cultivation, in Arkansas, we will say, only two or three acres more out of each hc.ndred in addition to the little patch now under cul tivation. 'There is a plan now maturing in St. Louis for building a short line of railroad from Cape Cirardeau to Helena, the distance being, I believe, about L'no miles, and continuing tho Iron Mountain road southward; tho em bankment for this road to form a levee, ex cluding the Mississippi river from live million acres of the richest bottom land of which over a million acres have been subscribed to ward tho construction of the road. If this road should bo built, and tho little patch put into cotton by Chinamen, the crop therefrom might be four to live million bales of cotton from land now almost uncultivated and worthless. .1.
