That the principle of dress fashion is eternal
and has been from the beginning is abundantIy
proven in the history Of mankind. We have a
continuous chain of facts in attestation of the
truth coming down from the moment of the oc-
currence of the first incident of the toilet in the
Garden of Eden to the time Of old King Kettle
of Africa gentleman who was deliberately
dressed when he had slung a copper kettle,
which was given to him by an English slave
trader, backward from his neck, thence to the
period of the monarch of the Mosquito terri
tory, who was 'faultlessly made up" when he
had strapped pair of cavalry spurs on his
naked feet, and so on to the moment of Miss
Flora McFlimsey, who packed wagon load
of trunks for Saratoga and then declared that
she had s'nothing to wear" This is the eter-
nifty Of the principle Of dress. An undying
principle, like unalterable faith, must have an
exponent in perpetuo. Such is the HERALD,
the great universal daily lay record coming
after revelation, and in union with and support
of history.
Our special fashions letter to-day shows
that, exiled from Paris by the rude shocks Of
war, the Goddess Of Fashion has sought refuge
in Belgium. sho speaks in our pages from
her new shrine in Brussels. Paris has lost
its monopoly of the idea Of ton. 1t has been
diffused and made universal. 1t is enlarged
by the revolution, as will be learned from q
perusal Of the contents Of our letter. The
s'creation" of dress for the present winter is
likely to be very elaborate work. The
materials, satins and velvets and laces par
ticularly, will be very rich, the colors deli
cate, yet attractive, and the trimmings new
and in complete harmony. Our special
fashions letter is quite refreshing to-day, as
the writer begins with the newest hat and
ends at the point Of the tiniest slipper.

Archbishop Spaldina the POpe's Tenn
pOraI Power.

Archbishop Spaldina tho POpe's Tenn
poraI Power.
The lecture at Philadelphia the other even
ing of Archbishop Spalding, of Baltimore, on
the Pope's temporal power, published in yes
terday's HERALD, is, perhaps, the clearest
and strongest argument so far presented in
favor of the maintenance of this temporal power
at Rome as indispensable to the independence
of the Pope as the head Of the Catholic Church.
The Archbishop makes strong case against
the First Napoleon and the Third Napoleon
touching the double-dealing and treacherous
course of each towards the Holy Father and
the terrible consequences to the Bonapartes
and to France, and strong case against King
Victor Emmanuel. Nsr can it be denied that
the justification of this King for the seizure Of
the Papal States, including Rome, reduced to
a few words, amounts to this :-"Dear Holy
Father, am very sorry to turn you out of the
temporal government of Rome and the little
States of the Church but if don't turn you
out these red republicans will turn me out. 1t
is hard case, / admit, but you know how 1t
is yourself, and that we must have Rome for
our capital"
This is exactly the case between the King of
italy and the Pope; but how is it to be rene
died? We think it can and will be remedied
without the restoration of the Pope's temporal
power over Rome and the little States Of the
Church seized by Italy, and to the advantage
of the Pope and the Catholic Church; and we
think that this settlement will be made in the
coming conference of the great European
Powers, and that in this settlement the Pope
will be made secure as the head of his Church
The New York herald., 1870-12-11

THE REPUBLICAN party in the South needs
reconstructing quite as badly as any Of the
rebel State governments did. Too many
carpet-baggers, too much politics and too little
intelligence have swamped the radical ele-
ment in Virginia, North Carolina and Ala
bama, and the same causes promise like
results in Arkansas, Texas and Georgia.
Unless the unscrupulous politicians who have
during the last three years manipulated South
ern affairs are thrown overheard and party
dissensions healed, most Of the late rebel
States will be lost to the administra alton in the
election of 1872.

The French, the Pops and the Prussians.
There was very curious and suggestive
manifestation of the French character at the
grand Catholic turnout at Buffalo on Friday
last in support Of the temporal rights of the
Pope. The Catholics, regardless of nationality,
turned out and joined as Catholics in this
demonstration /; but when the French Catholics
discovered certain Prussians in the procession
the patriotic Frenchmen withdrew. They
would not march as brothers even in religion
with Prussians, because the Prussians by fire
and sword, are desolating France. Those
French Catholics withdrew from the line not
because they loved the Pope less, but because
they hated the Russians more-because be-
tween the misfortunes of France and the sor-
rows Of the Pope they could not cease to be
Frenchmen. The Irish Catholics, on the other
hand, whose sympathies in the war are with
the French, experienced no difficulty in fra
ternizing with Prussians as Catholics. Nor
were the Prussians as Catholics disposed to
bring their political differences with the French
into this religious procession. Thus it would
appear that the French, as Catholics, do not
possess the cool, discriminating philosophy Of
the Germans, nor the paramount and unques-
tioning piety of the Irish; and yet how could
any Frenchman at this time be expected, even
in the cause Of the Pope, to sink the sufferings
of France?

and the Protestant North has completed its

Let us hope that while Germany has found
unity the Holy Father will find peace and
comfort in the holy occupations and amid the

ton. Germany throughout all ner DOrderS
recognizes the fact, and to the united voice of
Germany the Prussian King responds, accept
ing the title of Emperor of Germany. The
year 1914 restored the Pope the year 1870
has restored the Emperor but, strange to say,
the same year that restores the imperial
crown to Germany robs the Holy Father Of
all his temporaiities. A dream long reason
able and likely to become fact is now no more
than dream. The Holy Roman empire is dead
and can never be revived. That Germany
is to become great and powerful empire
may be taken for granted. That arrangements
will be made to retain the Pope in Rome is
not by any means impossible. But an empire
in which the Roman PontiT can take his
ancient place can never again be created The
restoration of the empire and the downfall
Of the temporal power of the Pope
in the same year are events which
show, above all the changes and revolutions Of
our times, the nature and character Of modern
progress. The Emperor of Germany will only
be the Emperor of Germany. He will not be,
like his great namesakes Of the past, the
Roman Emperor, the governor Of the world.
The Pope may find his proper place in the new
arrangement Of Europe foreshadowed by the
coming conference, but he will never again be
the spiritual chief of the human family. All
old things have passed away all things have
become new. The great battle waged for
more than thirty years, and brought to a close
|, by the peace Of Westphalia. has been resumed.

Newspaper Subscribers.

The London newspaper Press contains the
following Classification of newspaper subscrib-
ers, which is some what vaguely credited to San
American paper but let it come from where
1t may, every country paper, at least in Amer
lea, has just such on its subscription looks:
First come the
UPRIGHTs.-These men who take newspa-
pers, pay for them and read them. Observe
the order in which these things are done. The
pay comes tirst--readlng next. 1t seems as
fair and just to them that the newspaper should
be paid for as a barrel of sugar or new coat.
They never entertain any other opinion When
the year runs out or little before, they are
on hand with pay. There is no more difficulty
with them III remembering this period, tha n
Sunday or the lsL of January. II one of them

writes letter by his postmaster, in due sea.

heart OF the editor.
The second class now in mind is the
DO WELLs.-This class is nearly related to
the other-sO near that it is hard to tell where
one begins and the other ends. These men
always pay in advance in the beginning, and
intend to do so continually. But memory

Why LACE IS CosTLY-Many people won
der why what is termned real lace-as lace
made by hand is called to distinguish it from
that made by machine, which is called imita-
tion-is so costly. The following paragraph
from foreign exchange explains the reason:
The manufacture of lace is carried to its
highest perfection in Belgium. The finest
specimen Of Brussels lace is so complicated as
to require the labor of seven persons on one
piece, and each operative is employed at dis
tinct features of the work. The thread used is
of exquisite fneneSs, which is spun in dark
underground rooms where it is sufficiently
moist to prevent the thread from separating
1t is SO delicate as scarcely to be seen, and the
room is so arranged ttat all the light admitted
shall fall upon the work 1t is such material
that renders the genuine Brussels ground SO
costly. Ona piece of Valcnciennes not two
inches wide from two to three hundred bob
bins are some lines used, and for the larger
width as many as eight hundred, on the same
pillow. The most valuable Valenciennes is
determined by the number of times the bob
bins have been twisted in making the ground ;
the more frequent the twists the clearer and
more beautiful will be the lace.
