WHY GEN. STEINMETZ WAS RE
MOVED.

Gen. Steinmetz having been recently
superseded in the command of one Oh
thegPrussian corps operating in France,
and ordered to his old command at
Pozen, speculation and rumor have as
signed as the cause thereof some dissat-
isfaction with the manner in which he
handlid his corps in the bloody battles in
which it played a conspicuous part.
This surmise proves to be entirely ground
less The transfer of this veteran and
most distinguished of Prussia's corps
commanders has much more serious
cause and motive. His thorough knowl-
edge Of and great influence over the PEG
pie in the eastern provinces of Prussia,
where there in large Polish population,
and near to which Russia has collected a
large force, doubtless with like objects,
recommend him as the proper officer to
prevent any demonstrations OF tendency
that might embroil or endanger Prussia
in that quarter. 1t is we'll known that
the Poles strongly sympathize with the
French and would not be slow to avail
themselves of any opportunity to strike
blow in their behalf. Russia and Prus-
STA, then, have concurrent interests, and
Steinmetz was doubtless chosen as a
most competent commander to prevent
any such catastrophe. NiJaoaahee Sen

A TRUE STANDARD OF COMPARISON.
AS the rebellion was wholly Demo
cratic affair, inaugurated and conducted
by Democrats, it is but just to charge that
party with its entire cost, and therefore
IN any comparison between Democratic
and Republican expenditures, all of the
expenses incident to or in consequence of
the war to suppress the rebellion should
be deducted from the latter. This we
now proceed to do, taking the very latest
fiscal year of Democratic rule, and the
latest OF Republican rule, as the proper
periods for comparison, as follows:

Female Physicians.

The Medical Gazette, of New York,
has all along opposed female physi-
clans, holding among other things,
that women do not usually possess the
mental and physical characteristics es-
sential to the successful practitioner.
Some months ago, however, it offered
a prize to students for the greatest
number of accepted clinical reports;
one an. NJ. W." carried off the hon

"ThOse of our readers who have no

An Out-spOken American Bish-
Op in the Council ut Rome.

An OUt-spOken American Bish-
Op in the Council Ht Rome.
Writing on the Both ult., the Ro-
man correspondent Of the Pail Mall
Gazette says:
"The day before yesterday vio-
lent scene took place in the Council,
on the delivery of a speech by Mon
signor Verot, Bishop of Savannah,
United States, the orator of the Amer
ican Episcopate. This discourse, pro-
nounced in a voice audible through
the hall, vehemently assailed the dog
ma of infallibility, declaring that all
the Bishops who voted in its favor
would be guilty of sacrilege. The
majority met this imputatiUn with
protesting cries, and the clamor be-
came 50 furious that the President
Legate rang his bell, and called on
the speaker to retract the expression.
Supported by Monsignor Strossmeyer,
1.-The Bishop of Savannah refused, main
tanning that he was entitled to ex-
press his conscientious opinion. He
said he was the citizen of country
where every opinion was free, and
that, trained in freedom, he would
preserve his independence even in
! the Gcumenical Council. Munsignor
SenesLrey, Bishop of Ratisbon, spoke
with equal force, but in more guard
ed language, against the dogma, af-
frming that he expressed the senti-
ments of the vast majority of German
Catholics. The sitting broke up in
great agitation. Several members of
the majority have avaiIed themselves
of the new regulation to demand an
immediate vote. As there are yet
seventy Fathers inscribed to speak
on the question, the Cardinal Legates
referred for instructions to the Pope;
and the Holy Father decided there
should be nc interference with the de-
bate. The Bishops of the minority
are now acting in concert with the
ministers Of the Catholic Powers
Conferences have been held both at
the Austrian and French Embassies,
and it was finally arranged that the
Bishops should sign a collective note
to the Pope, protesting against the
PRONUNCIATION of the dogma. But l
am persuaded that all opposition will
b, useless.

The Discovery Of the Outlet OF
Great Salt Lake.

From the Utah Reporter, June 10
To day we give the facts as we
have taken them, relative to the dis
cOvery Of the subterranean outlet to
Great Salt Lake. This inland sea,
the briniest of all the waters in the
world, and which former investiga-
tiOns pronounced as being kept at its
level by the evaporation, has itself
solved the mystery of the mountains.
The lofty hills and all the lonely
islands have for countless ages found a
mirror for their grand majesty in the
bosom OF our lake, and its FURNISHED
face has been kept bright with the
crystal supplies of q thousand streams
from out the roaring canyons, ctefts,
and snowy reservoirs of the rocky
chain. The eye of science has scanned
with care the agencies which, it was
supposed, held the aqueous wonder in
its place, and the HumbOldts and Sill
limans of ta'O continents saw no e5-
capement for the changing Sea" save
through the aerial pathways of the sun.
Many years ago the bureau of tOpOgrl-
ply sought to explain the permanent
equilibrium of Great Salt Lake,
whose thirst absOrbs a greater supply
Of fresh water than Michigan or Erie,
but still the deduction was the same.
Every trial said its shores were saved
from flood by the evaporating power.
This is no longer a theory, aud never
was correct.
One night last week the Schooner
Pioneer, Capt. Hannah, on her vOy-
age from COrinne to Stockton, when
at Il point in the Lake between FIRE.
mont and KimbalI Island, nearly OPP
pOsite this city, came suddenly in cOn-
tact with something the captain
thought more solid than water, belieV-
ing his vessel to have stranded upon
rocks. Instead of this, however, the
men on the Pioneer discovered that
she was in the Whirl of q mael5trOm,
| for the vessel revOlved as if in a circu-
lar current, and the motion was 50
rapid in the revolutions made that the
men could scarce stand at their duties.
Capt. Hannah being an old sailor
and understanding the danger he was
in, at once added sail, and, a brisk
wind blowing at the time, the craft
was, after an hours detention, borne
1 beyond the vortex of the eddy. H9
informs Gen. ConnOr, the owner Of ths
schooner, and from whom we get these
interesting facts, that while in the
trough Of the ugly hole the deck was
lower than the water outside the
whirlpool, and that he owes the safety
of vessel and men to the stiff breez5
which fortunately sprang up at the
time. The noise of the waters as they
descended denoted that some mighty
airless cavity below gave strength tU
the suction, and the surging, frOthy
foam above, wasslike the boiling of a
mammoth cauldron. That this is the
safety valve Of Great Salt Lake ther5
seems to be no doubt, and we can rea-
IsOnably assume that similar openings
are numerous on the bottom. The
steamer Kate COnnOr will be ready in
two or three days to go on the lake,
when the General, accompanied by Il
party Of gentlemen from this city,
will go out and examine the mack
strOm.

From the New York World
For the T4adies-HOW Summer
Snits ShOuI6 be Washed.

For the HladieS-HOW Summer
Suits Should be Washed.
Summer suits are nearly all made
of white or buff linen, pique, cambria
or muslin, and the art Of preserving
the new appearance after washing is
matter Of great Importance.
Common washer-wOmen spoil ev-
eryLhing with soda, and nothing is
more frequenUthan to see the delicate
tints Of lawns and percaIos turned in
to dark blotches and muddy streaks
by the ignorance and vandalism of a
laundress.
1t is worth while for ladies to pay
attention to this, and insist upon hav-
ing their summer dresses washed ac-
cording to the directions which they
should ~ prepared to give their Isup-
dress themselves.
In the first place, the water should
be tepid, the soap must not be allow
ed to touch the fabric; it should be
washed and rinsed quick, turned upon
the wrong side, and hung in the shade
to dry, and when starched Gin thin
boiled but not boiling starch) should
be folded in sheets or towels, and iron
ed upon the wrong side, as soon as
possible.
But linen should be washed in wa
ter in which hay has been boiled, or
a quart bag of bran. This last will
be found to answer for starch as we'll.
and is excellent for print dres es Ofall
kinds, but a handful of salt is very use
full also to set the colors of cambria and
dotted lawns; and a little besf's gall
will not only set, but heigbten yellow
and purple tinls, and has u good et-
feet upon green.

gle In a Round Dance-SOme-
thing Like a ''Spfee."
The. ceremony at San Francisco of
uniting the waters Of the Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans, performed by the Bos-
ton Board Of Trade exeursionists, is
thus described in a telegram to the
Boston Journal:
The bottle Of water taken from the
Atlantic, at Boston, was uncorked by
Hon. Alex. II. Rice, the president of
the Boston party, and one half its con-
tents poured iuto the Pacific ocean,
making, as Mr.. Rice said, "a literal
blending of the waters Of the two
oceans, which should flow on togeth-
er until there shall be no more sea,
and symbOlizing unity Of the pcO-
pie of America in ties Of interest and
brotherhood, which shall continue un-
til the last wave Of time shall break
upon the eternal shore" The space
in the bottle was then filed with wa
ter from the Pacific ocean, and its con-
tents will be taken home by the Bos-
tOnians, as the mingled elements Of
the Atlantic and Pacific.
The party then formed a circle on
the veranda of the Cliff House, a Cali
fOrnian and Bostonian alternating,
and the bottle of mingled water, as
an emblem of a blended friendship,
was passed through the entire circle,
from band 10 hand, and the company
united in singing "America." A most
interesting ceremony followed a little
daughter (two years of age) of Mr..
r. g. Brown, of San Francisco, was
present, and having never been christ
ened it was suggested on a moments
thought, that the holy rite should be
administered. A table was brought
out and covered with the national flag
and a large silver basin, containing
water from both oceans; when, amid
a stiffness disturbed only by the surg
ing Of the sea, the parents stepped
forward with the little child in its
mothers arms, and the Rev. Mr. Wa.
terson, Of the Boston party, with great
beauty and solemnity, administered
the rite Of Baptism. The entire au-
dience Immediately burst forth in
singing the DOxolOgy, To the tune of
'Old Hundred"

LOVE UP TREE.

There was seat in the apple tree,
most delightful and cosy nook
And one afternoon about half.past three,
Kitty sat there reading book.
Her fair head bare, with no hat to mar
And her dress just showed one dainty boot
And he saw her as he smoked his cigar,
And he came and stood at the ladders foot.
Kitty half blushed, then smiled and said,
won't you cUme W and sit here now"
And Kitty's brother, boy to dread,
Saw and determined to raise row;
So he crept softly under the tree,
Listening to all they had to say,
Did the impish brother, and, sly US could Be,
seized the ladder and bore it away.
Then they him; aud she with a flown,
Said, "What will that awful boy do uext?'
And she called him the greatest scamp in town,
Yet don't believe she was very much vexed.
For her lips half-smied, though her eyes halfcred
As she saw the position Of matters now,
Aud he came over and sat by her side,
Leaving his place on the opposite bough
What could they do? They were captives there,
Held as if by an iron band;
Kitty tossed back : er golden hair,
And reaectively leaned her chin on her hand,
off, said she, 1--WE for help should call,
They'd laugh to US in such plight,
So we'd best stay here till the shadows fall
Or till some one or other comes in sight"
And some one did come. It was Kitty's papa,
Who past the tree his footsteps traced,
And saw through the leaves lighted cigar,
And a masculine arm round feminine waist,
Kitty looked down and blushed at one,
And then looked up and blushed at the other;
Said her father, "these are nice goings ~
Said she, sit was all the fault of my brother"
What the endl III tell you that.
Some months after, mid silks and lace
And ribbons and ruches, some ladies sat,
Who were discussing the time and the place
As to when-so ran their debate
And where a certain wedding should be
And that impish brother was heard to state,
sit had better come off in the apple tree"

fifth Year Of his POMtiliCaIe.
On Friday last, the 18th of June;
his Holiness Mastaf Ferretti, Pope
Plus the Ninth, commenced the TWEEN
ty-ffth year of his ponti6eate.. Ac-
cOrding to a tradition current IN
Rome, the first Pope, st. Peter, in
stalled at Antioch and then at Rome;
in A. d. AZ, governed the Church for
twenty-five years, two months and
seven days. None Of his 2j6 success
sOrs have reigned SO long. Plus VI:
occupied the Papal throne for twenty
four years, eight months and fourteen
days, which is the next greatest dura-
ton. Plus TX. will have attained the
fatal limit of st. Peters reign on the
24th of August, 1871. He appears to
have the conviction that he shall COM
plete the period in spite of the Roman
prOverb that "nO Pope shall see the
years of st, Peter" He is said to
intend to abdicate some days before
the expiration of the term, either
from a respect for the first POntitf,
whose name the Popes never take,
or from a fear to die if he persists iu
reigning beyond the limit. But theFs
is no serious foundation for the rumOr.
Pope Plus the Ninth was born on
the 18th of May, in the year I792.-
He has; consequently, passed the
seventy-eighth year of his age. He
was elected and proclaimed Pope on
the 10Th of June, 1916, and crowned
on the 2Ist day Of the same month.
