VOL. 4
CONGRESSIONAL.
Senate.
Washington, May 22.
Ban Is called op senate bill to prevent the lntio
duction and spread of contagious or infectious
disease, and moved to ignore ihe original bill, and
consider the si bj-sct reported from the committee
on the ninth, which emoodled what appears to be
the views of the majority of the senate, though not
so satisfactory to the committee as ibe first bill.
Harris said the committee h1 tried to frame a
substitute to eon form to the wishes of the minority
as shown by objections to tne original bill, ihe
appropria.Ion asked for has been reduced from six
hundred and flf.y tnouwnd dollars to rive hundred
thousand dollars, on account of the removal of the
orJer to the board to investigate the diseases of
cattle.
Call supported the bill, saying that his state was
vitally interested in this measure and that imme
diate action was required. His experience was
that strict quarantine was a perfect guard against
yellow fever.
Logan thought that tbe purpose contemplated
by the bill might be just as well accomplished by
an amendment to the law of 1878. Experience
teaches us that no bureau created Jn this govern
ment ever finishes its work and expires ; but ao
sorbs more and more power and becomes perms
uent
Hoar moved to amend by striking cut tbe words
'any contagious or inlectioua disease." and substi
stuie the words "cholera, yellow fever, plague,
smallpox, and bip fever." He thought there wss
a linger in giving loo great discretion to trie Mara.
It might result la vexatious interference with com
merce. The amendment was rejected; yeas 20
nays 80, -Hoar
moved to amend by striking ont all of o
tlou One down to line nine, as follows : " That it
thill tie unlawful for any vessel engagad iu the
iransportauou oi gooasor persons trom aoj toreign
port where any contagious or infectious disease
exists, to enter any port of the United tales, ex
cept in accordance with provisions of this act, and
all rules and regulations of Ihe state board i of
health or sanitary associations teeogoised by this
act or made in pursuance thereof," and insert the
following: "Whenever, la the opinion of the
firesliient, there is any danger that cholera or yel
ow fever mav be introduced from abroad into any
port or place within the United States, or spread
from state to state within the same : and in his
judgment exiring quarantine or health regula
tions at sucn places are msumcieni, ne may au
thorize the board of health to make further rules
and regulations iu such premises, which being sub
mltied u and approved by him, shall be valid and
enforced :" reject M, yeas 17, nays 29.
Windom said thai ha would not vote for an ap
propriation of saoo.ooo
Logan moved to amend so that tbe money ap
propriated, instead of being disbursed under the
direction of the board, should be expended uuder
tbe direction of the secretary of the treasury noon
quarterly estimates by tbe board, accompanied by
statements of iu appropriations and expenditures
under the ao. ; adopted, .
Dawes said that it now appears that for SL&.GOO a
snip could be constructed that would serve all
purposes Intended to be covered by tbe vessel fur
which S200.0W was recently appropriated on the
recommendation of the board. He though, it a
doubtful policy to appropriate all that is asked for
by the board.
conkling asked Harris what had become of tba
disinfecting ship experiment, and whether Frof.
G'&iege's p.'an, wnich was first proposed to be
made a part of the bill lately adopted but stricken
out, wss still under consideration.
Harris said the plans agreed upon by the board
had been submitted to the bard of naval en
gineers and contractors for their advice. He had
good information that tbe board have now reject
ed, as impracticable, the Uamege plan, wnich'
they were heretofore so well satisfied with as to
advise the senate to a tnpt It unconditionally
Conkling It makes offenses again -t state laws
punishable in federal courts. Such offenses are left
also in the jurisdiction of tbe state courts: so the
bill violates the principle that no man shall be
twice punished lor tbe same offense. Another ob
jection is that the fine imposed as a penally falls
not upon me real onenaer out on tne innocent
owner of a vessel. This bill tried imperfectly to do
by a east iron and all prevailing system what
should, to be practicable, be dine locally and In
particular spots. He should vote sgainst tbe bill,
and old not feel any obligation to offer anything '
in its place, as he believed (he subject did not be
lone to national but to local legislation.
Harris said that experience showed local leglsla
tion to be insufficient. Under it terrible epidemics
have ravaged tbe country. As to other objections,
the acts of 1797 and 1878 contain the same pro
visions as to jurisdiction, and a! I previous qnaren
tine laws have proceeded on tbe same plau. Ke
garding the method of floe, the bill only imposes
a fine without regulating the manner of its collec
tion. After further remarks by Conkling, Edmunds ex
pressed a wish to examine it more at length and,
on motion, the senate adjourned.
Eenate.
. Washington. May 23.
Tbe senate took uo the bill maklnc autuidiarj
coins exchangeable for lawful money of the
united states, ana to mate sucn coins legal tenaer
in sums up tb S20. The committee's amendment
to substitute $1(1 for S20 was discussed.
Tbe bill wis supported br Bayard, Booth, Fer
ry and Kern an, and opposed by Edmunds and
Thurman.
Ihe mo ning hour having expired, the bill went
over without action and the senate took up the
contagious disease bill.
ine amcnamentoi uorgan mat ine act snail not
remain in force over four years was adopted.
Jones of Florida offered an amendment Substi
tuttng the words "any merchant thipor vessel" for
the words "any vessel engaged in the transporta
tion of goods or persons :" adopted.
On motion f rf arris the penalty was reduced
from 86000 to f 1000.
Teller's motion to strike out the clause making a
fine a lien upon a vessel was rejected.
Edmunds opposed tbe bill on constitutional
grounds. The democrats were inconsistent in
njw nuttina violations of state laws within federal
inrisdiction. He did not think the supervision of
lealth a government business, but a state busi-
nes.
Lamar declared that the law of 1879 was a prece
riant for this bilL
Blaine thought the government ought to exercise
Its power to protect general health
Discussion as to the duty and power of the gov
ernment In the matter, ensued, between Blaiae
and Kdmunds, after which the bill was reported U.
the senate, and amendments agreed to, tne diii
passed by tbe following vote : M to 12.
The senate took up senate bill relative to tbe
transportation of animals without taking action
thereon. ; .
The senate went into executive sesiioo, and ad
journed till Monday.
At the einlrsllon of the morning hour, the
house resumed the cons ideratiou oi the Warner
silver bill.. . . . . ..
Tbe house agreed to the eighth section substan
tially as amended yesterday. The ninth section j
by a vote of V against 88, was amended so as to
provide that in determining the average market
value of bullion for the purpose of ascertaining tbe
charge for converting it into com, me maraet
rate shall be the value of the bullion in coin of tbe
same metal, at its legal tender value in New York
and San Francisco, for the week preceding such
rifl pot i t.
The bouse rejected an amendment to make all
certificates full legal tender for all debts, public
and private, unless ptherwise provided by eon-
flrh!. uaii riiraMln the nresident to notify for
eign governments that the United States is ready
to co-operate ui wmwaimumw. ... -
between gold and silver, was stricken out
win. ..trams! .n amendment that nothing In this
act shall be construed as authorizing any coinage
of silver exoect into standard dollars. This was
agreed to almost onanisly. ..
. Aisms, irom u owmu" " -p ,
reported back from th- senate the amendment to
thelegislative appropriation bill and stated that
he was instructed to move concurrence therein.
It was hardly necessary, he said, to give reasons
for that instruction. There were some of the
amendments In wnich the committee would not
underother circumstance concur. a the increase
of salaries of senate officials to feom 20 to 100 per
cent, more than tbe salaries of some of the corres
ponding emplovees of the home. This increase
amounted to over Ho.OOO. '.w.'
The senate bad made no amendments in the po
litical features of the bill and all amendments
were concurred in. ,.. .. w.
The speaker called the committees for reports of
a privole nauife. .... .... .,.
After the adoption of the last section of the silver
bill, Warner moved that the bill he ordered to Its
third reading with a view to taking a final vote
upon it to morrow. .
Dilatory motions were then Interposed and the
yeas and nays ordered upon successive motions to
adjourn, aad to adjourn until Monday.

The Bulletin presents statistics show
ing a large decline in farming operations
in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania skice 1875. While
New York lias increased in population 21
per cent, agricultural interests have ut
terly failed to keep pace with the'general
progress of the State ; and therefore, re
latively, farming is retrogressing. Nor
is this the worst aspect of the case. The
impoverished and debt purthened condi
tion of the farmers leaves no hope for
their . recuperation, but rather fore
shadows a still worse condition of things
in the future. What we have here shown
to exisit in New York is but a specimen
of the state of affairs in Connecticut, New
Jer ey and Pennsylvania also ; and the
con lusion to lie drawn is that in this
group of States farming is verging to
wards a condition of things in which it
will be virtually confined to dairy pro
ducts and vegetable growing to the ex
tent necessary to supply city populations,
while larger and more solid branches
must steadily decline.
A fire at Brooklyn in Towler Crump-
ton, & Co.'s linseed mill, extendingfrom
55 to 63 Furman street, burned all night,
and the owners estimate their loss at
from $250,000 to $300,000, and storehouse
D," of Watson's stores, the lessees
Bartlett & Green, burned fiercely. It
was filled from the ground floor to the
roof with sugar, jute, hemp,, cotton and
other inflammable material. 8 the . fire
continued, a mixture of water and sugar
came from the windows and doors in a
large flow. At ten to night, with all the
streams upon it, it was feared that the
flamek would communicate to other stores
but by persistent work of the firemen,
apprehensions were allayed. Bartlette'A
Green's loss would probably reach half
a million dollars. But it is not known
who the owners of much of the property
are. There may be oo or more. At
noon, laborers were set to work re
moving goods to storehouse "C," ad
journing, as they were being damaged by
water. .Danger was also anticipated
from the walls bursting through. En
gines are still at play .upon the burniner
pile, and the fireman are nearly exhaust
ed by continuous hard work. .
Returns to the Department of Agricul
ture show the average wages of labor
without board on yearly engagements
have declined from $21 29 per month to
$20 26, or 4.8 per cent, during the last
year. The cost of board of farm laborers
has declined $4.15 per cent., or from
$7 45 per month to $7 14. Four States
and two Territories show increased rates
of wages Minnesota, Colorado, Califor
nia, Oregon, New Mexico and Washing
ton Territories. Ail other States show a
decline. The decline is greatest in Ver
mont, 30 per cent. : Maryland, 23 per cent.
and "Virginia 18 Y per pent. The cost of
suusistance has advanced in four States
and two Territories New Jersey, I en l-
syivania, Texas and Colorado, Kav
Mexico and Washington Territorie All
other States show a small cost of trni ist
ence. Vermont has declined 3 per cent,
in the price of board, and Maryland 4
per cent. The general tone of corres
pondence to the Department of Agricul
ture is hopeful of a revival of industry.
and the surplus of unemployed labor is
growing less. Good labor can generally
find employment at fair prices. Many
are idle because they will not accept the
reduced wages onered.
For the past three davs in obedience
to orders from John Taylor, and a dis
patch from Geo. Q. Cannon, at Washing
tor, petitions .to President Hayes for a
pardon of the convicted polygamic, Geo.
Reynolds, have been sent for signatures
ail over Utah. The case being urgent,
they were requested to return the peti
tion to Salt Lake this week to be fore
warded at once to Cannon, president. In
order to anticipate the Mormons, the
ladies of the anti-polygamy society held
a meeting and tins morning sent the fol
lowing protest to Washington. To the
lrement of the United State: A peti
tion has been circulated in this city for
signatures asking your pardon of George
Reynolds, convicted of the crime of poly g
amy. The ladies of the anti-polygamy
society of Salt Lake City, respectfully
protest against the interposition of exe
cutive clemency in the case for the fol
lowing reasons: -First The anti-poly-gamy
law of Congress was passed in 1862,
and through a defect in its provisions no
conviction has been obtained of any per
son guilty of violating the law until the
present instance. This immunity has en
couraged the Mormons in lawlessness,
and more polygamous marriages have
been entered into during the last few
years than at any time preceding : Sec
ond The Mormon leaders set up God's'
law, as they call their celestial marriage
ordinance, above man s law. The decis
ion of the Supreme Court of the United
States in the Reynolds case affirming the
validity of the ana-polygamy law of ikm
gress, is condemned by the Mormon
newspaper organs as the award of "feeble-
witted and clouded minded judges," act
ing under popular pressure and the case
is therefore appealed from the supreme
tribunal of the law to the court above.
Under this higher law or doctrine, polyg-
amous marriages are being entered into
as numerously as ever: Third Your
clemency is invoked because this is a
test case. Geortre Revnolds has been
convicted and sentenced to punishment
for his own offense and not for offenses
of his brethren. He is unrepentant and
still lives with his plural wife. He was
seen in the great procession gotten up for
Mr. Wells on bis release from prison
where the latter had been sent for con
tempt of court in the Miles polygamy
case. .During lieynolds, trial every tech
nicality was resorted to avoid conviction.
thus showing an unwillingness on the part
of the culprit to bring the constitutional
lty of the law, under which he was tried,
to nnai arbitrament : i ourth The par
don of this criminnl will be hailed as the
overruling of God's providence in behalf
of his elect people, and encouragement.
should you grant it, will be derived from
your action to continue the degrading
practice, x or these reasons we respect
fully ask that application for the pardon
oi ueorge Keynoids be not granted, and
that he be compelled to serve the term
of imprisonment to which he is sentenced
as a wholesome warning tp his brother
saints. .
Agriculture in Greece.
MacMUlan's Magazine.!
The population of the kingdom of
Greece is about 1,500,000. It is com
puted that from one-third to one-fourth
of this population is engaged m agri
cultural or pastoral pursuits. The in
crease since 1830 has been large in all
the staple agricultural products, and in
some it has been remarkable. Tbe cul
tivation of olives has increased about
three-fold since 1830 ; of figs, six-fold
of ; currants, fifteen-fold ; of vines,
twenty-eight fold. The progress of the
currant trade has been tolerably steady
since 1858. , M. Mnriatinis puts the area
occupied by currant vines at nearly 40,-
ooo acres ; M. . Mansoias, at even
higher figure. The average yearly pro-
auction oi currants, before the Ureek
W ar of Independence, was about 18.000,

OREGON, SATURDAY,
Titled American Bellrs,
As I look out upon the gay Boulevard
aes uapncines and note some fair faces
in the stylish carriages passing, and
recollect that they once were the admi
ration of a broad and also a very nar
row American circle "at home' and
when I recall their native names, now
lost under foreign titles, I am amazed at
what the cockney landlady in the play
calls the "hups and downs." It is a
source of much inward wormwood and
gall to some of us to behold these fair
ones lost to American citizenship and
lolling under French coronets. But
love is sometimes blind and sometimes
very much wideawake, and when the
latter, not even a. ducal or a baronial
title will cause the most independent
American Republican girl to blink.
Look at the list, even in my momentary
memory of our "Republicanl court"
belles: The Duchess de Prasin Choi -seul
is a charming, stately lady, well
known in Baltimore society ; the Coun
tess Charetto is one of a family whose
name is a household word in Tennessee,
i ana mentined with the polished period
of a Presidency of the United States
when " grand and gracious manners
marked men of court." No higher links
of royal alliances can there be found in
France than those of Mme. Charette by
her French marriage, even if yon look
down the avenue of great personages as
far as you will and back again to the
venerable Duchess of St. James, the
grandmother of Mine. Charette's step
children. Yet those who can recall the
person of otfr simple Democrat, Presi
dent Polk, little dream that on the banks
of the Seine dwells his favorite niece,
surrounded by the royalists of the Bour
bon and Legitimist schools, and she the
most charming of them all, crowned with
womanly virtues the true pride of an
American lady. And from the." Cres
cent City " came a belle of rare qualities
and womanly beauties, whose name,
as the lovely Mme. de ; Dan bier,
few' of us will forget when re
fined taste and exquisite surroundings
are the topics of our talk. I might say
something of the Marchioness d'Hursele;
of New York, and that old group of the
Livingston-Power society, but for the
present I remain silent. I might also say
something of another sister who became
the Princess Lanti and made a mark in
society at Rome, but then I should hate
to speak of another sister who became
the Marchioness Garotti and the adopted
daughter-in-law of the late Pope Pio
Nono, and as I am not disposed to dwell
on details, I simply allude to these
names formally to show the attraction of
our belles to the gallants abroad and
point to the failures of our beans at home.
Here I might also say something of a
lovely neiee of the foregoing three ladies,
who became the Countess Bala and
graced the salons of Paris and Turin as
well as of Naples and Rome, but space
forbids the pleasure. How much in the
way of challenging our home-gallants,can
be said when the names of the Countess
de Damas and her sister, who married an
Italian Prince, are alluded to. Both in
Baltimore an-' ew York the family pedi
gree and pi UB family examples of these
fair and f rtuiate ones is gratefully
known. So,, too, that of the Countess
Montanban, and now that Miss Hunger
ford, of California, is added to the list of
foreign-titled American belles as I men
tioned in my last letter, it is a sourc .of
some laudable and anxious curiosity to
know who comes next ? "Why," I say
to my " Monumental City " fair compan
ion, " do not some of our American men
come over here and marry a Princess or
two, just by way of revenge? " " She:
.Do you see that little maiden with a big
Normandy cap, dark blue stockings,
bright colored kerchief, and with her
violet blue eyes and sweet, artless smile
even she would not marry other than
a Frenchman! " Why have our girls not
the same patriotism ?
Submarine Telephoning.
Mr. Chas. Ward Raymond, C. E.. de
scribes in Van NostratuVs Euguieerinp
Magazine the result of some experi
ments with the telephone in submarine
operations at depths not exceeding
thirty feet. One telephone (Phelps Du
plex) was placed in the diver's helmet,
and fastened in Ruch a position that, by
simply turning his head, he could place
his mouth or ear to the instrument. The
other telephone was placed on the scow
which carried the air pitmp and the diver s
helpers. Using Edison's Carbon Trans
mitter, with the addition of an induction
coil and cell of battery, the arrangement
was perfectly successful. Conversation
was carried on with the utmost facility ;
it was not necessary to give the diver
any signal other than the simple " hallo !"
It was found that the diver could talk-rn
the helmet without putting his mouth to
the instrument, and he heard planely,
and therefore he could continue
his worx and conversation at the same
time. The battery, induction coil and
transmitter were placed on a shelf on
the diver's scow, and together occupied
no more room than would a Webster'8
Unabridged Dictionary : the telephone
in the helmet occupieb but little room,
and, of course, was not at all in the
way.

One of the greatest trials of the news

talk five hours. Through the editorial
and reportorial rooms all the follies and
shams of the 'world are seen dav after

neiuier uott, man nor woman. At is no
surprise to me that in this profession
there are some skeptical men ; I only
wonder journalists believe anything.

Consumption of Ceffve.
America is fast becoming, if she is not
already, the greatest coffee-consuming
country on the globe. Coffee is not
longer a luxury, but a necessity of the
humble home as well as the abode of the
rich. We import annually, in round
numbers, 300,000,000 pounds of coffee.
the value of which is $25,000,000. This
is every year increasing, and in a greater
ratio than that oi any nation on the
globe. Our increase during the last
twenty-five years has been 8 per cent.
against 2yt per Cent, for Europe. The

with such favor in' other countries, are

Lumber Iuteresti of the Pacific Coast
So far as estimates can be made, the
sugar pine mills having connection with
San Francisco could manufacture about
41,000,0000 of feet annually, making a
grana total oi over &oo,wu,ouo of feet,
exclusive of what might be turned out
by the Sonoma County mills along the
route oi the .North Faciflo Coast Rail
road. It is probable, however, that not
more than one-third the amount of lum
ber estimated above will be manufactur
ed for the San Francisco market and for
eign export, as the present prospects of
the trade do not warrant the large pro
ductions or previous years : and it is be
lieved that nearly all the exporting mills
on the coast will this year manufacture
much less than last year. The
amount of business done ' will
depend largely upon the amount of logs
on hand at the several mills. Those
having none in boom will not be likely
to get out any lumber, isesides the
mills enumerated, there are numerous
mills Bcatlered along the coast and dotted
throughout the State which manufacture
for purely local consumption. These
are commonly of smaller capacity than
the exporting mills, and are frequently
of portable construction, erected for tem
porary use in small bodies of timber.
The largest pine mill on the coast is at
Port Gamble, Puget Sound, owned by
Pope & Talbot, and the largest redwood
mill at Enreka, Humbolt Bay, the prop
erty of D. R. Jones & Co. Besides the
San Francisco and other home markets,
there is a large foreign demand for
Pacific Coast lumber. The . Puget
Sound mills offer the best facili
ties for shipment of lumber by
deep water vessels Dickson, De Wolf &
Co., Welch & Co.; Hanson, Ackerson &
Co., Renton, Holmes & Co.; J. W. Grace
& Co.; Adams & Taylor; Pope & Talbot.
The first two firms, shipping from mills
at Burrard Inlet, British Columbia, are
the principal exporters of Puget Sound
umber doing business in San Francisco.
The foreign countries to which lumber
is extensively shipped include Chile,
Peru, Mexico, Australia, Sandwich
Islands, China and Japan. 35,000,000
feet is an approximate estimate of the
foreign export of lumber from Puget
Sound, not including the shipment from
British Columbia ports, for 1878. The
estimate from the books of the American
firms in this city shipping direct. There
is also considerable lumber reshipped to
foreign ports from San Francisco, of
which no account is to be had, and
which : is erroneously reckoned in
our annual home consumption. Most of
the lumber brought to this city comes by
water. In the Puget Sound and Oregon
trade vessels are employed with carrying
capacities ranging from zm,uw to l.uuo,
000 feet. The bark Casmwlra Adams,
owned by Adams & Taylor ; Top Gal
lant, by Renton, Holmes & Co., and the
ship Sagamore, belonging to Pope &
Talbot, have each a carrying capacity of
fully X. 000.000 feet. Trinidad is tne
only redwood port oi entry shipping by
deep water vessels. Redwood is brought
to this city chiefly by schooners carrying
from 80,000 to 240,000 feet, and by rail
and transit lighters from Duncan's mill,
Russian River. The number and char
acter of the vessels engaged in the lum
ber trade is so constantly fluctuating
that it is impossible to give any list of
them which would be either accurate or
satisfactory. "- "
Perils of the Chase.
Correspondence of SU Louis Globe-Democrat. 1
Belknap, Northwest Texas, April 29.
An incident transpired some time ago
in the Wichita Mountains, which rise
along side the stream of the same name
in liavlor County, bordering on the
great Llama Estocado of Texas, that
well illustrates the stealthy character of
the Pnma, or Mexican lion. The ani
mal is an inhabitant of the lofty moun
tain ranges of Mexico, and quite often
met with in the Chenoti Range which
looms up between the Rio Pecos and Rio
Grande, this side of El Paso, and in the
extreme wilds and howling wildernesses
of West Texas. The Puma is occasion
ally encountered in the mountain settle
ments on the Texas frontier.
A few evenings ago a Texas frontiers
man and hunter named Franklin, a dwel
ler on the lonesome banks of the head
waters of the Little Wichita, left his
ranch for the purpose of bagging some
wild turkeys and other game for break
fast next morning.
The hunter was dressed in the broad
slouched hat so common in Texas, with
boots over trousers, - a six-shooter belted
to his waist, and his trusty rifle slung
over his shoulder. His venture was quite
successful. Franklin being a center shot.
Following the banks of the Little wich
ita, he brought down three fine gobblers
with his piece, and, huntsman-like, tied
all of them with a leather thong, slung
the turkeys over his shoulder, and Btarted
for ins sylvan home, or rather camp.
The shadows of night had already par
tially fallen on the murmuring river,
and the sombre gloom of deep solitude
fallen on the trees that lined the banks
of the Wichita. Franklin was plodding
along in the dim shades, unconscious of
danger from man or beast, when he felt
a sudden shock, as if a great load had
been precipitated on his back. Utterly
amazed and stunned, the hunter arose
from the stooping position into which he
had been thrown, and grappled with his
unknown and mysterious assailant. Hsi
first idea was that it was some devil-fish
by some curious chance turned loose on
land. -'
A fierce combat ensued. His assailant
grappled with him, but seemed to direct
his strength against the freight he car
ried on his .- back. Franklin could not
use his gun or his pistol, but struck at
" the varmint with his fast, and endeav
ored to free himself from the intruder
much after the manner of the character
in the Arabian Nights, on whose back
was saddled the Old Man of the Sea. At
lat the animal, for such Franklin at
length perceived it to be, succeeded in
scampering off with one of the turkeys,
followed by the hunter,who now drew
his gun as well as knife. He fired one
shot at his assailant, lint this only en
raged him, and the animal, making a
deadly spring, alighted on Franklin, at
the same time planting ita claws deep
into his neck and cheeks, The hunter
was also fearfully torn and mangled
about the arms, legs and other parts of
the body, where the sharp teeth of the
brute were rapidly planted.
After this last spring, when the animal
had fastened its ugly claws in his face
Franklin, plunged his knife into his
enemy, who fell dead on the ground.
On examining the " varmint " the hunter
found it to be a Mexican lion of large
size. Such was his own enfeebled condi
tion, after such a death struggle, that it
was with difficulty Franklin reached his
ranch, where his wounds were dressed.

The Pope's Paper.
The Pope is about to go into the news
paper business. He wants an organ, and
none of the existing Catholic journals are
to his mind. If he has got something to
say, which he thinks the vrorld ought
to know, and which differs from anything
that has hitherto been told it, no one can
object to the Pope running a newspaper
tor the purpose of telling it. There is,
indeed, a positive advantage in knowing
what the first ecclesiastical power con
siders authoritative. It can be approved,
if true ; and criticised, if doubtful. Be
that as it may, it is certain that the re
port which has been afloat of the issue of
an authoritative Vatican newspaper is
about to be verified. The genuine Papal
Gazette, which is soon to displace, or, at
least, to regulate such organs as the
Umverg, Voce della Vertta. Tablet and
Gerrnania, will be a gigantic affair. It
will be printed in not less than five lan
images Italian. French. German. Span
ish and English. The character of the
journal is to be immediately official.
which is proved by the announcement
that in it all the Papal briefs and
allocutions will be published : at first
hand, and in their original text. The
printing machines are said to have been
ordered from Manchester. The difficul
ties involved in the polyglot character of
its contents will be surmounted by en
trusting the supervision of its linguistic
composition to a select committe of
scholars belonging to the Propaganda.
It is expected that about ten. thousand
copies will be sold in the streets of
Rome. The editorship in chief is as yet
undecided; the important chair is said to
be contended for by two rival candidates.
One is the Pope's own brother; the other
is M. Constable, hitherto - editor of the
Monde of Paris. It is well known that

provocative tone of the so-called Catho
lic press the " good press." of which

There is no more valuable class of men
in any community, ao far as results are
concerned, than those who work with
muscle the class generally Known ea
"laboring men." Their ceadiuto
the men who labor with brain are, how
ever, equally valuable. Outside of what
is called " professional life, they depend
upon each other. There ia an avoidable
partnership among them, and they are
each others best inenas : xnu one di
rectsthe other performs, and both ac
complish, ibe distinction oetween the
two classes is made in reference to the
direct means by which each one suppoits
himself, and fills his place in life. No
body pretends that the "working man"
doe not think, any more than that tbe
worker by mind cannot saw wood or dig
a mine. But tbe old notion that tbe law

Hard work.

They are machines that cannot last for

grows rickety in time ; and tne forty-ton
locomotive breaks down at last. The one

machine, tho part which does the most
work, wears out first. The sturdy black
smith's legs and appetite are good, and
his mind still bright, when be can no

eyes wear out before his hands.
The little fact of thedestruction of parts
of our being by hard usage, shows, in tbe
failure of particular mental faculties, that
" head work " ia hard work. Brain needs
rest. : , It is a ' noticeable fact
that men famous for some
special intellectual power, begin to grow
old in tho power first. Napoleon's great
ness lay in his wonderful stragetic and
executive ability. The prison of Elba
could not hold him. The bare rocks of
St Helena did. He had begun to wear

When the Court d'Artois resided in
Holy rood House, during the period of his
exile, the severity of his English creditors
confined him to the privileged limits of
the palace. Sunday being the only day
of entire freedom, he used to walk the
streets, antl was exceedingly struck with
the decorous behavior of the people and
their regular attendance at public wor
ship. He observed that certainly the
Divine blessing must protect in a
peculiar manner a nation who hon-!
ored God in so holy a way. On his
return to the palace he forbade his own '
people to play at tennis as Was nsu:.!.
Unwillingly relinquishing this amuse
ment, they bad recourse to backgammon.
This be also forbade. They were uncon
solably under the heavy evil of spending
a day without amusement, and warmly
remonstrated ' that their religion re
quired no austerity." " True," said he,
this forbearance makes no part of my
religion, but I think it is a respect which
we owe to the hospitality and the mor-
iiy decent conduct or . tne na
tion under whose protection we live,
to give up a trifling gratification
that is incompatible with their ideas of
sanctity and decorum." When the fam

This bit of ice, like a treats 1 -hid
in the cleft

There were a Bnmlwr

heap, and her lips formed in the Bhape
of the letter O.
She simply eiaculateJI ;
' Oh, my ! this is dreadful ! "

its
left foot left its mooring and ew t - , r
in the same direction. This cs,:. -1 . :
reversed the position of the rr..n, ;
coming down on his hands iu In,.,
and looking up the other wav c f
street. He turned
face, but said nothimr.
He who followed Mm was also a
man. It was the beloved pastor c f t '
Third Church. The shock throw '
forward at first, but he recover- i I
self in time to go down on Lis t . r
once. A pail fall of molasses v . . !
held in his right hand added to
eral interest. He simply said-
Mercy on us f which vi.- "
eluded the molasses. .
The fourth person was a e'.ix' - '
party, muffled up to the nono, t
ting along lightly under the ;
of a angreeable thought. 1

then passed peacefully on. -
The next man to fall sat don m.h
on the walk, with both lein r-xiread

Mr. Merrill, seeing the seri;3 t,f

But now, at last, let us come to the t "

some fine fitness to walk into the .
