It is related of the famous Bean Hickman that in his best days ho once went to a first-class hotel in Baltimore, and, alter registering his name, raid he wauled the very best the h use could offrtid lor his money, (wirling in his hand at the same time a quarter of a dollar.

The Ilelrt of Piui i, . i -- Tlio lawsuit of the heirs of Piui IX threatens to be a most complicated eoclesiasticolegal problem. '1 he mas tai family havo no intention of putting lorward merely a claim to the valu able property of which the three Car dinals are administrators; they even assert their right to the yearly stipend of 3,600,000 lira which the Italiau Government, by the previsions of the Guarantee law, convenattd to pay the Pope, but whieh Pius IX steadily refused to handle. The law provided that the accumulated annual suras, five years alter the date ef the pay ment, if net claimed by the pop should revert to the cofftrs ot the Slate. Tho sum for the first five years following the promulgation of the Guarantee law thus became null and void, and if the Pope had repented of his obduracy at the close el his life he oould only bavu claimed the pay mentof the sum ' accumulated sine the sixth year lollowing his deposition as secular ruler. " This sum woujcl. have amounted to about 18,000 ijre; and the Mastai claimants demand thai it shall now be paid to them, as the lato IVpe's legal heirs. Even if th Italian government should admit that Pius IX died as the creditor ot th nation, tho case ot heirship would be hard to settle, for there is absolutely no precedent on the papal side. How Deeply Dm the Earth Qaike! The Sacramento (Cal.) Union says: Tli recent earthquake at Virg'nia City was not naticed al all in the mining depths, bjit only bv people .m the surface.
