VALUABLE PRESENTS TO THE PoPE.-Nearly
all the prelates arriving at Rome to attend
the Ecumenical Council conveyed thither val
liable presents for the Pope. The United
States bishops took nearly $500, 900 in money
altogether, as tangible evidence of the love
the Catholics of this country have for the Ho-
ly Father. The Archbishop of Lima, ninety
four years old, being too feeble to visit the
eternal City," sent his pastoral rod with
Father Gual as q present to the Pope. 1t is
ofpure Peruvian gold, and worth $4,000.
This was accompanied by basket of flowers
in pure silver fagree work, very valuable,
and containing $4,000 in gold. The Arch
bishop of Quito presented golden chalice,
set with precious stones. The Archbishop of
Caracas brought $4,000 in gold and very
valuable trinkets which the women of Eene-
zuela by hundreds insisted that he should
give to Pho Mono. Captain Gordon, in behalf
of the Catholics of England, presented to the
Pope about 5000 in gold. Father Maria
no Matteini, of Rinini, presents wonderful
bronze gilt bell, made by himself, which he
implores the Pope to make use of in the Coun-
Gil. This work is entirely symbolical, no
part of it being without some allusion to the
Council. The handle formed by a kneeling
ing angel on base, with silver clouds, bear
ing on his shoulders gilded cross with silver
rays. The Papal cross and pastoral, the
Pope's arms, tiara, and keys are grouped to-
gether. The bell itself is very elaborate; out
the principal feature is the Immaculate Con
ception, surrounded by five doves bearing
olive branches. The clapper represents the
mystic bark of st. Peter, with reversed cross
for nasts and smaller cross for helm:
serpent, with three-forked tongue. faiiing
to get into the bark, plunges into the waves
below.

A SToCK Law AND lMMIGRATION.-The st.
Louis Democrat, Of Dec. lst, has an article
uuder this caption, in which it says it has
copied an article from the Rural World ad-
vocating stock law, and remarking thereon.
the Democrat says: "The building and
maintaining of fences and farms at the Vest
cost as much as the whole value of the farms.
These fences are needed only to shut out cat
tie running at large. 1t would cost less than
one-fourth as much to fence in the cattle as
to fence in the land under cultivation. 1t fol-
lows that a sum equal to three-fourths of the
whole value of our farms could have been
saved to the farmer, had everybody been re-
quired from the first to fence in his cattle, in
stead of fencing in his crops. Much more
than half the land of this State is still uncul-
tivated, and as railroads are extended and
immigration flows in, the wealth of the State
may be more than doubled by the occupation
and tillage of new farms alone. But that
progress is delayed by the cost of fencing new
farms. If the cost of fencing would be re-
duced BY the adoption of q stock law, immi-
grafton would be greatly accelerated, the set
tlement and progress of the State would be
hastened, and its wealth would be greatly in
creased 1t is safe to say tnat within five
years any county which will adopt and en-
force stock law will realize, in increased
value of land through immigration thus in
vited, sum far greater than the cost
would involve. The change would not be
burdensome as some believe. 1t was tried
in New York, and we doubt whether there
would now be found a single intelligent farm
er who would desire to return to the old sys
tenn. If adopted generally in this State, it
would give Missouri a decisive advantage
over all other States to the immigrant, be-
cause the first cost of bringing land under
cultivation would be so much reduced

A tricky politician, who was noted for new
er doing anything withouta sinister purpose,
having died, the clergyman who preached his
funeral sermon said that it would have been
a great consolation to the friends of the deceas-
ed, if they could have aseertained his motive
n thus suddenly leaving them.

A GRACEFUL CouPLIMENr.-The following
neat and beautiful reply was made by the
late Daniel O'Connel, in response to toast
given in compliment to his wife, who was the
object of bis long and affectionate attachment.
1t was given at political meeting. The
English language could furnish nothing more
touchingly tender and graceful "There are
some topics of SO sacred and sweet q nature,
that they may be comprehended by those
who are happy, but they cannot possibly be
described by any human being. All that
shall do is to thank you in the name of her
who was the disinterested choice of my early
youth who was the ever cheerful compan-
ion OF my manly years and who is the sweet
est solace of that scar of yellow leaf age at
which have arrived. In her name I thank
you; and this you may readily believe; for
experience | think, will show to us ali that
man cannot battle and struggle with malig-
nsnt enemies, unless his nest at home is warm
and comfortable-unless the honey of human
life is commended by hand that be loves. !"

the South wing would probably cost little

Of the entire building would probably reach
six millions, but that would be much less than
it would cost to put up the same building in
