Railroad Association, Mr.. Lacy says:
These gentlemen hold the lease of the
Mississippi Central railroad, and if that
was their only interest in railroads, in
this section, the surmise of your poorly in
formed correspondent might heve some
force in il, to-wit That McComb & Co.
might not desire the building of the Mis-
sissppi River Railroad until the lease of
the Mississippi Central had expired, But
the lease of the Mississippi
Central road is one of the least
interests of these gentlemen. They own
the controlling interest In the Mississippi
and Tennessee railroad. They own the
Paducah and Gulf road.-Thcy own the
controlling interest in the Mississippi Cen
trail railroad, and they own the controlling
interest in the New Orleans, jackson and
Great Northern railroads, and these own
erships look to a grand consolidated line
between New Orleans and the Ohio river,
through our good city of
Memphis. The Mississippi River
Railroad Is necessary link in
this great line, and consequently McComb
u Co. have now an infinitely greater in

Mississippi River railroad especially, than
they have in the lease of the Mississippi
Central. That interest, besides their high
honor as men, is a sufficient guarantee of
their good faith in their dealings with MS

Selections for n Newspaper.

Mos. people think the selection of suit
able matter for a newspaper the easiest
part Of business. How great an error f.!
1t is, by all means, the most difficult.
To look over and over hundreds of ex-
change papers every week from which to
select enough for one, especially when
the question is not what shall, but what
shall not be selected, is no easy task. If
every person who reads paper could
have edited it, we should hear less COM
plant. Not unfrequently it is the case
that an editor looks over all his exchange
papers for something interesting, and can
absolutely find nothing. Every paper is
dryer than contribution box; aud yet
something must be had--his paper must
come out with something in it, and he
does the best be can. To an editor who
has the least care about what he selects
the writing that be has to do is the east
est part of the labor. Every subscriber
thinks the paper is printed for his own
benefit; and if their is nothing in it that
suits him, it must be stopped--is is good
for nothing. Just as many subscribers
rs an editor may have, so many tastes
he has to consult. One wants something
sound. One likes anecdotes, fun and
frolic; and the next door neighbor won
ders that man of good sense will put
such stuff in paper. Something spicy
comes out, and the editor is black
guard; next comes something argument
alive, and the editor is duh fool. A nd
so, between them all, you see the poor
fellow gets roughly handled. They new
err think that what does not please them
may please the next man; but they in
sist, if the paper does not suit them it is
good for nothing.

Curious Story from Rome-R omance
I'm the Early Life OF the Pope.

A correspondent of tho Boston TSav-
eHer, writing from Rome. tells the follow.
ing remarkable story respecting the early
life of the Pope. 1t is certain that there
is some mystery in connection with his
taking the vows of the priesthood, and
this narrative nav help to solve it.
Speaking of the appearance OF the Pope.
who is now fine looking man, and who
must have been noble specimen Of man
hood in his youth, the writer says:
"Those who are nearest to him, and
who ought to know him we'll, say he is a
very kind hearted man, but is dreadfully
afflicted by his ministers and agents, who
ought TO do his bidding, but who would
use him for their own worldly purposes.
The world at large does not know that
fifty or SIXTY years ago he was engaged
TO be married to a Miss Foster, the
daughter of an Irish Bishop, and the sis
ter of the Countess de Sails, famous at
that period 10 Italian society, and that
the young lady and her friends waited at
the altar of the Church of St. Luigi de
Francesi (near the present post oflice) for
Count Mastai Ferretti to appear and
complete his marriage vows, and that
they waited and waited in vain, because
the young Count never came. Nor is
the world aware that the explanation Civ
en- to her before her death was that his
Jesuit relations had forcibly abducted
him and sent him abroad under oath OF
secrecy, which he never divulged till after
he was Pope, and that this he caused to
be communicated to her. TO ease bis own
conscience and her broken heart. l
mention this because the Pope is now
living, and that he ard his Jesuit friends
may question it or confirm it rs they
please. l hold the document at length
in my own hand which tells the whole
story, communicated by one of our near
relations, and given me by one whom
the venerable Count personally knows,
and has conversed with and sd,;led upon
since he has occupied the papal throne"

Joseph Mazzini, the Italian patriot,
has addressed letter to M. Angelo,
who was exiled from France by Napole
on, for political ofenses. The following
extract gives his views on France, and
his hoped for reorganization of Europe:
81 am growing terribly old. In the
evening | cannot write without suffering
in my head and eyes, and | arrive at the
end of short day having done only half
what l would have wished to do, aud
what l ought to have done. You are
right. France, the land of the unforeseen,
can awake to morrow. But it is not
right to believe that it will do 81, or
that in doing so it could prosper. We
must then consider it as moral element,
as country of which the ever increas
ing agitation can serve us, but must not
make it the center of our action. AS
far as regards myself Individually, l only
believe in tho "initiative" of the coun-
tries which have not yet acquired their
national unity. The reorganization Of
Europe must proceed from them. The
dream of my whole life, the inspiration
of all my thoughts and of all my efforts,
has been the Italian 4" initiative" in put
ting the third Rome, which has become
the heart of Italy. at the head Of the
new epoch. But in leaving this ideal
aside, which is, perhaps, an Illusion of
my great national pride, I see the dan
ger of French " initiative" in the ser
vile prostration of other countries. II it
takes place, the ancient prestige will GER
tainly revive, but you will see us still
dragged behind France for a quarter of
a century. | am not impatient to see
the revolution of France accomplished
1t is enough that the rising tide of the
French revolutionary movement be WIS.,
IDLY sensible to other nations"

Letter from the Negro Printer who
Worked with Brick Pomeroy.

To the Editor of the Cleveland Herald.
TALLMADGE, Jan. LIN late issue
of your paper, you say that Brick Pome-
roy has said that he once worked at a
case along side of negro printer, and
says he is proud of the fact. You then
saw, "Now let us hear from the dar-
key"
We'll, sir, I am the very darkey whom
Brick worked along side of, and if he is
proud of it, must say that l am not ;
on the contrary, l am ashamed of it +.
Brick was good enough in his way, but
if he could not have that, even the devil
was not match for him. Please remind
Brick that he owes me 1910, borrowed
money, at that, and if he is proud of
any one thing, perhaps he may yet be
proud to say, | own no negro. Who
knows? If he ever gets in that frame
of mood. he will find me at Tallmadge,
Summit county, OHIO. l am now rath,
err crippled up, but my Heavenly Father
knows that would starve before / would
again work at n case along side of Brick
Pomeroy. Very respectfully.
