Papal NunciO to the United States--Yankee
Frejudices TherenpOn.
from the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, April 27.I
The OsserDat0rs Romano. the official paper of Car
dinal Antone ana OF the Pope, announces that the
Pope proposes to send a nuncio as ambassador to
Washington, and that he has asked President Grants
permission that effect Our legation at Rome hav-
ing been abolished by act OF Congress- upon the
ground that Mr.. Marsh, our able representative at
Florence. Is all-sulcient for Italy, would think
that In view OF this measure the Pope would have
elt restrained from saddling an envoy OF his upon
the United States government, when we peremp-
tOrfly declined TO send one 10 Rome. Itseems, how
ever thar the Jesuts and Papists are bent by nook
paired in the Old World, to make the New World the
vantage ground for their persistent attempts 10
ensaye the mind and the conscience OF mankind;
thus doing all in their power to subvert free insttu-
tions.
The Pope, as the temporal ruler OF handful OF
people, whom he cannot hold In political bondage
except with the assistance OF French bayOnets. is
as much entitled to entertain diplomatic relations
with the American government as the Prince OF
Monaco, or the Landgrave or Hesse-Homburg. As
spiritual ruler he can never be recognized by
American Catholics, their allegiance being to this
republic which recognizes no church organization,
whether Papal or Protestant. For President Grant
to favor this insidous design Of Papal ambition Is
clearly unconstitutional and consequently he Is not
likely to encourage 1t in any way. This question
having been settled by the suppression Of the

Catholics, have no sympathy with the political des-
potism OF the Papacy. We trust that the time is at
hand when the capital Of Italy will be transferred
from Florence to Rome, and when our diplomatic
relations with the Italian government at present

A Preachers'S Stratagem.

1t is said that one time when Lorenzo
Dow preached under large spruce pine
In South Carolina, he announced another
appointment for preaching in the same
place on that day twelve months. The
year passed; and as Lorenzo was enter
ing the neighborhood preceding his ap-
pointment, he overlook colored boy who
was blowing a long tin horn, and could
send forth blast, with rise and swell,
and cadence, which walked the echoes of
the distant hills. Calling aside the blow
er, Dow said to him, "W hats your name,
SIT ?"-"My name, Gabriel sir" replied
the brother in ebony. "Well, Gabriel,
have you been to Church Hill ?" eyes,
massa; Use been dar many time" "Do
you remember big spruce pine tree on
that hill?" 40 yes, Massa; l knows dat
pine" "Did you know that Lorenzo
Dow had an appointment to preach under
that tree tomorrow ?" 80 yes, Massa ;
everybody knows dat" "Well, Gabriel,
[ am Lorenzo Dow and if you'll take
your horn and go to morrow morning, and
climb up into that pine tree and hide
yorself among the branches before the
people begin to gather, and wait there till
| call your name, and then blow such a
blast with your horn as [ heard you blow
minute ago, I'll give you dollar. Will
you do it, Gabriel ?" "Yes. Massa, |
takes dat dollar" Gabriel, like Fac
cheus, was hid away in the tree top in due
time. An immense concourse Of persons,
of all sizes and colors, assembled at the
appointed hour, ond Dow preached on the
judgment of the last day. BY his power
of description he wrought the multitude
up to the opening of the scenes of the
resurrection and grand assize, at the call
of the trumpet phals which were TO wake
the sleeping nations-''Then," said he,
suppose, my dying friends, that this
should be the hour. Suppose you should
hear at this moment, the sound Of Cab
riels trumpet" Sure enough at that
moment the trump of Gabriel sounded
The women shrieked, and many tainted !;
the men sprang up and stood aghast ;
some ran, others fell and cried for mercy;
and all felt, for time, that the books
were opened. Dow stood and watched the
driving storm till the fright abated and
some one discovered the colored angel
who lad caused the alarm quietly perched
on limb of the old spruce, and wanted
to get him down to whip him, and then
resumed his theme, saying, 81 forbid all
persons from touching that boy up there.
If colored boy with a tin horn can
frightecn you almost out of your wits,
what will ye do when you shall hear the
trumpet of the archangel? How will ye
be able to stand in the great day of the
wrath Of God ?'

Speak Out +!

Don't practice prevaricatlon or circum-
locution. young friends Ii may be true
of language, as judged by the dictionary,
and as charged upon it By famous satir-
ical writer, that it was seemingly invented
to hide thought, instead of expressing it.
To this purpose the 'ifs" and "ands' the
"perhapses," etc are very frequently put
Butwe warn you the more earnestly against
their prevaricasting use, if you are de-
sirous of maintaining yourself respect and
personal integrity
No, no; never prevaricate. IF cues
ton is asked you answer promptly aud
squarely, or decline answering altogether
And the latter course it is your privilege
to take, if an improper question is put to
you, from idle curiosity, or some worse
motive.
There are nothing more attractive in
young people than frankncss o! bearing
frankness Of look as well as Of speech-an
open oountenance and a truthful tongue

meath the burden Of faisehood, lip
that refurses to let lie pass over it.

prevarication in them, when properly ut
tered. But when they are drawled out

Go justice to your native sense of pro-

A Funny Fight-An Elephant Attacks a
Locomotive.

The following accounts of an encounter
between an elephant and railway train in
India, is taken from the Benegalee OF
January 2d, an intelligent native news
paper published at Calcutta in English:
4 correspondent writing to the Indo-
European Correspondence from Moughyr
states that very serious accident, brought
about in manner unknown, and per-
haps unhcard of since the establishment
of railways, not only In India, but through
out the world, happened to a train on the
Goth Of December, at half past eight o.
clock, between Sahebg1nge aud Mizaporc,
about two miles from the latter station
At the time No 5 down goods train was
approaching a mango tope in which sen
enty elephants were stationed. The red
lights glaring in the distance, and the
noise and smoke of the engine, would
have caused an awful CONSERVATION among
the poor brutes, all of whom, more or
less, tried to break away from their fas-
tepings. One large male, however, the
strongest and most courageous of the lot,
became so infuriated that he broke his
chain and rushed forward to intercept
and encounter the supposed enemy. He
had scarcely placed himself on the line
when the train was down upon him. He
encountered it with head and tusks but
animal strength proved no match for
steam and machinery-the poor brute
was knocked down and killed on the spot,
and the engine, rebounding, ran off the
line, and it and eleven carriages were
capsized into ditch The fireman luck
lily managed to jump OF in time, aud the
guard did the same, but the poor driver,
named Smith, remained in his place, and
received injuries from which it is not ex-
pected he will recover.
