The Bayou Sara (La.) Ledger tells a
good story about negro applying
for "papers" to the strangers sent there
for registering, and ON being asked
where he was born, said: sin Nova
SCOTIA" He was asked for his natu-
ralization papers, and having none,
was rejected. Nova Scotia is planta-
tion in that parish, which every citizen
knew, but the men acting as registrars
did not. .n b..
The miracle of st. Januarius has not
gone of as auspiciously as usual this
year. The liquefaction of the Neapoli-
tan saints blood was incomplete, a
portentous black clot remained un-
solved in the centre of the vase, and
was seen, says the London Tablet, with
grief by thousands ofthe faithful, who
deem It to be sign Of impending ca
lamity. III rN- = .ia'-
The New York Times urges metro
politan objection to female suffrage
which Is calculated to seriously alarm
its advocates. Itsays:
"women are naturally and inevita-
bly, aristocrats; and whenever they get
the right to vote and to hold ofice-and
If they have one they must have the
other also-we shall stand u very good
chance of having our democratic tnsti-
tutions overthrown, and an unadu!ter-
ated aristocracy established In their
place."

The New York papers mention that
the first consignment of new wheat
from the South has reached that city.
They add that Southern millers have
made such contracts for the new wheat
that they will be able to sell handsome
family -four in New York at thirteen
dollars a barrel. The price of flour
must tend downwards, as the prospects
of a most bountiful harvest OF wheat
In all parts OF the country multiply
daily.
To suppress brigandage in his domin-
ions the Pope has recently issued an
order Of great severity. He promises
a reward of $500 for the.head of every
brieand delivered to the authorities.
This device. it is said, promises to be
yery successful, for whilst the Papal
police are not near so active as the
bripands themselves, these WORTHLESS
have already turned their daggers
upon each other for the sake of the re-
ward, and are thus preventing the fur
ther wanton spilling of honest mems
blood.
The shortest passage yet made across
the Atlantic has been made by the new
German steamship Cimbria. She left
Hamburg at the same time that the
Persia left Queenstown, and came Into
New York harbor but short distance
behind the Persia. She made the run
of 8. .4e1 miles, from Hamburg to New
| York, in ten days and seventeen hours,
which ia equivalent to nine days and
seven hours from Southampton, or
eight days and and seven hours from
| Oieenstown. The Cimbria thus beat
the Persia, once the crack ship of the
Cunard line, about two days. The
| Average speed OF the Cimbria was 326
miles day. ....r.i....
